Chu Xuanzhi stood in the center of the crowd, and everyone's eyes fell on him, waiting for him to speak.
There were still people in the crowd talking about it.
"Miss Sang Lian can not only save King Xuan, but she is also considerate and well-educated. The most important thing is that she is stunningly beautiful. Which man can refuse her?"
"If you don't say Jiang Yunxu is stupid, he still dares to sign a document with Zhao Guogong's government, and there will be no place for him to cry in the future."
"Haha, it is already well known in the capital what kind of virtue this Jiang Yunxu has. Let's see how this idiot ends up today."
Almost everyone believed that Jiang Yunxu would definitely lose.
Even Zhao Qianru thinks so. Her daughter is stunningly beautiful and she is a cousin, so Chu Xuazhi has no reason not to agree.
Men, how many of them can resist the beauty trap?
Chu Xuanzhi raised his lips and said a very surprising sentence: "I don't want to."
Those four words surprised everyone present.
"Xuanzhi, do you know what you are talking about?" Mrs. Zhao winked at Chu Xuanzhi: "With so many people present, you have to think carefully, and if Sang Lian doesn't marry you, he won't be able to survive.
, there is no way to untie the poison in your body."
Chu Xuanzhi looked at Mrs. Zhao with an indifferent expression, her handsome face already covered with a layer of frost.
"Whether she is alive or dead, what does it have to do with me?"
He did not give Mrs. Zhao any face, and turned to look at Zhao Qianru: "If you can't get married, you will be raised by the Duke of Zhao's house and served with fine clothes and fine food. Don't enter Prince Xuan's house or disturb my eyes!"
With a bang, Zhao Qianru's brain almost exploded. This sentence was like a slap on her face.
And it's in full view of everyone, without giving any face at all.
"Xuanzhi, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhao Qianru breathed tightly, looking at Chu Xuazhi's face, she thought of Concubine Wan, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world.
As long as she is around, no one will ever remember Zhao Qianru.
It was precisely because Zhao Qianru was not convinced at the beginning. Why should Concubine Wan marry the emperor, but she could only marry the eldest son of the Earl's Palace?
The huge disparity made Zhao Qianru feel resentful, so she left Duke Zhao's mansion at the instigation of the maid.
It also began a tragic turn in his life.
"That's enough!" Mrs. Zhao scolded with a cold face, interrupted Zhao Qianru's words, and winked at Mrs. Zhao Guogong.
With so many people watching at the scene, I had to get rid of it quickly and stop making further jokes.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong had no choice but to accompany the smiling face to explain to the guests and persuade them to disperse, but Princess Xiangya was not willing to leave.
"Throw this person out to me!" Chu Xuangzhi ordered unceremoniously. The murderous aura that filled his body scared Princess Xiangya to the point where she curled her lips and left.
Soon all the guests dispersed, and Zhao Qianru stood in front of Mrs. Zhao very aggrievedly: "Mother, these words are so hurtful. How can Sang Lian accept it?"
Mrs. Zhao gave a warning look, which frightened Zhao Qianru into shutting up immediately, and then her eyes fell on Jiang Yunxu.
The other party's face was calm and unfazed, as if he had already guessed that the result would be like this.
Mrs. Zhao felt choked in her heart. She knew that she had been embarrassed today and had been plotted by the girl in front of her.
But when did the relationship between Chu Xuanzhi and Jiang Yunxu become so good?
He actually rejected Sang Lian for her sake.
"Mrs. Zhao, I have something else to do, please take my leave." Chu Xuangzhi raised his hand and didn't even bother to say hello to the people in Duke Zhao's mansion, so he let Yin Lei push him away.
But Mrs. Zhao's heart sank. This was the first time in so many years that Chu Xuanzhi called her Mrs. Zhao in a strange way.
"Xuanzhi, you are blaming grandma, and you don't even want to call me grandma. If your mother knew that we were in such trouble, she would be sad again."
When Chu Xuanzhi heard the words, he didn't even turn his head and didn't mean to pay attention at all. Madam Zhao never expected that Chu Xuanzhi would turn his back and be ruthless.
Jiang Yunxu bowed to Mrs. Zhao Guogong and saluted, then turned and left.
As soon as the people left, the atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked.
Mrs. Zhao backed away repeatedly, as if she had been severely hit. The second lady on the side curled her lips: "Why is Xuanzhi so confused that he actually protects that girl?"
"Xuanzhi didn't say another word to Miss Jiang. In the past few years, Xuanzhi has had a hard time. Today, it was indeed the Duke's mansion that was reckless."
Mrs. Zhao Guogong squinted at Zhao Qianru. This kind of thing should have been discussed in private. Even if the talks broke down, no one outside would know about it, and both parties would have room for compromise.
But Zhao Guogong's palace suddenly put it on the table and forced Chu Xuangzhi to agree. If there was one, there would be two. No one would agree to it.
"Sister-in-law is always good at making sarcastic remarks. Xuanzhi usually respects you very much. If you had spoken just now, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation today." Zhao Qianru turned around and directed her anger at Mrs. Zhao Guogong.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong was very unhappy when she heard this. Just now there were many people and she had been enduring it. Now she also said unceremoniously: "Marriage in a woman's family is meant to be discussed in private. It's better for you to force your daughter not to do it."
You lost face, and now the entire Duke's palace is being laughed at like you, isn't it enough?"
After being yelled at, Zhao Qianru became honest.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong was also born into a well-known family. She was very confident and her natal family had a strong backing. Her temperament had become much more tempered over the years.
If it had been the time before she left the cabinet, Zhao Qianru would have been scolded to pieces.
"It can detoxify poisoning. All we have to do is find a way to find a doctor. How could you come up with such a despicable method?"
The more Mrs. Zhao Guogong thought about it, the angrier she became. She had always been very popular in the capital, and she just had to persuade her to leave. The way everyone looked at her made Mrs. Zhao Guogong want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Zhao Qianru was speechless after being scolded, so she had no choice but to look at the second lady for help. The second lady said angrily: "Sister-in-law, why do you have to be so angry? Please tell me slowly if you have anything to do. After all, we are all one family."
"There are six girls from the Zhao family who have not yet come out of the palace, and several brothers have not yet proposed marriage. The reputation of the Duke's Palace has been ruined. Who would dare to discuss marriage with the Duke's Palace?"
Madam Zhao Guogong responded in a nonchalant manner, and her words directly made the second lady angry.
Her children are not married yet.
"Mother, for the sake of the reputation of the Duke's mansion, it's better to send Sang Lian out to be raised." The second lady immediately united with Mrs. Zhao Guogong's camp.
"Second sister-in-law?" Zhao Qianru was so angry that she pointed at the second wife and yelled: "You are trying to force us, mother and daughter, to death."
…
Every word of the noise outside the door fell into Sang Lian's ears. She stood behind the door, clenching her fists tightly.
Why, why is everything different?
In the dream, she got her wish and married Chu Xunzhi, accompanied him all the way to the throne and became the emperor, becoming the imperial concubine that everyone envied.
The position of queen has been vacant for many years, so she has been the commander of the harem and has been in charge of Fengyin for many years.
Why, after a while, Chu Xuazhi was so resistant to him, and even wanted to marry Jiang Yunxu, the former third princess.
Regarding Jiang Yunxu's impression, Sang Lian only remembered that she had a tragic fate. She was beaten to death on her wedding night, and there was no one to collect her body.
What went wrong?
Sang Lian was puzzled.
"Miss, don't be angry. The two ladies are also very angry. With your aunt here, no one will drive you away." The maid was afraid that she would be sad, so she persuaded her tactfully.
But everyone is as clear as a mirror. Sang Lian has lost her reputation today. As a woman rejected by Chu Xuanzhi, the two ladies no longer want to see Sang Lian. Sang Lian's situation will be very difficult in the future.
Sang Lian pursed her lips tightly and forced out a weak and pale smile: "I'm fine."
She won't take these trivial things to heart.
There is something that Chu Xuazhi wants in her body. Without her, Chu Xuazhi will soon be tortured by the poison.
As long as Sang Lian is injured in a month, Chu Xuanzhi will also feel her emotions.
Recalling that two months ago, Sang Lian deliberately met the Mu family on the mountain, rescued an elder of the Mu family, and revealed his location to make a living by raising Gu.
Not surprisingly, within a few days, someone came to the door to ask for a voodoo. She wanted a male and a female, but she deceived the person to be a female voodoo, which had the effect of preventing future generations. The real male voodoo should have been hidden by her.
.
Therefore, the one eaten by Jiang Yunxu was useless, and only the one eaten by Chu Xuanzhi was the mother voodoo.
In this world, only male voodoo can kill the female voodoo. If the poison is rashly detoxified, the female voodoo will only be frightened and continue to give birth to other voodoos, which will then torture Chu Xuanzhi to death.
Sang Lian was also ready to leave for Beijing to find Duke Zhao's mansion, but he didn't expect that someone had inquired about the Pei family's cultivation of Gu in advance.
Only Queen Mu's people knew about the Pei family. Sang Lian mistakenly thought that Jiang Yunxu was from Queen Mu, so he asked old man Pei to ask Jiang Yunxu to take her to the capital and give her a place to stay.
And at that time, Sang Lian had already found out that Jiang Yunxu was a girl.
When she came to the capital quietly, she looked around and found no Mr. Yun at all, let alone the surname Yun. She checked all the people of this age in the Mu family and confirmed that Senior Sister Yun was really not from the Mu family.
There was no one at the agreed place, so Sang Lian had no choice but to go find Zhao Qianru as planned.
The acknowledgment went smoothly, but before he could react, the emperor granted Chu Xuazhi a marriage.
This completely disrupted all her plans.
"I'm tired, help me to rest first."
The plan failed and she wanted to take a rest.
At the same time, Chu Xunzhi and Jiang Yunxu left the house together. The two looked at each other. One look was enough, and the two quickly parted ways.
To outsiders, this looks unfamiliar!
A few days passed in the blink of an eye
It was the day when Chu Xuanzhi welcomed his bride. Jiang Yunxu was picked up early in the morning and dressed up. Only a few people came to see her off.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong took the initiative to comb and tie her hair. She smiled and said: "No matter who is slandering you behind your back, as long as you two work together, no one can do anything to you."
Jiang Yunxu nodded. She was very touched that the other party came. She put on the wedding dress, which was exquisite and luxurious. The phoenix crown and harem were all prepared by Chu Xuuzhi. Every detail was perfect. At first glance, it was clear that a lot of effort had been put into it.
.
Looking at the deserted courtyard, Jiang Yunxu smiled bitterly, and with the support of Mrs. Zhao Guogong, she put on the red hijab.
Hong Qiao held Jiang Yunxu's hand and waited for the sedan chair to arrive.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was no movement outside the door, but Yin Feng rode his horse to report the news.
"My subordinates are paying homage to the princess. The prince asked his subordinates to send a message to the princess that Japanese pirates are invading the northwest. The emperor ordered the prince an hour ago to leave for the northwest immediately. There must be no mistake."
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
Jiang Yunxu tightly grasped the jade Ruyi in her hand, but she scolded the Lingzhou Emperor dozens of times in her heart.
I couldn't go to the northwest one day, but I ordered him to be removed an hour ago, and Chu Xuanzhi is still a disabled prince with physical inconvenience.
This is intentional!
"Why is it so sudden?" Mrs. Zhao Guogong asked.
Yin Feng said: "The soldiers in the northwest were trained by the prince, so the emperor asked the prince to go to the northwest. The war is serious and there is no need to delay."
Jiang Yunxu lifted her hijab and let out a long sigh. I don't know how many people will laugh at her after today.
Suddenly, there were sounds of gongs, drums and trumpets, which was very lively, and then a very luxurious sedan was carried in by sixteen people.
"This is?" Jiang Yunxu was confused.
Yin Feng explained: "The prince said that today is a happy day and he cannot wrong the princess, so the wedding will be held as usual, but the worship service will have to wait until he comes back. From now on,
You are the mistress of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.”
"How can this be done? It's too unfair to you." Mrs. Zhao Guogong said.
Jiang Yunxu shook her head. If she hadn't been forced into a hurry, Chu Xuazhi wouldn't have done this. Without saying a word, she covered the red hijab again and let Hongqiao help her get into the sedan chair.
Hongqiao never dared to disobey her. After leading the person into the sedan chair, the sedan chair was lifted up after a while.
"No matter who is causing trouble today, you must be patient and carry the sedan chair in safely!" Jiang Yunxu ordered.
Yin Feng frowned. Although he didn't understand why the princess said this, he would definitely obey his master's orders.
Moreover, who dares to initiate a marriage in Prince Xuan’s Mansion?
But Yin Feng still underestimated some people who wanted to make trouble. As soon as the sedan chair was carried out, he encountered a funeral organizer. The vast white procession directly occupied the entire street. There were constant cries, and the white color covered up the festive red.
Jiang Yunxu also heard it. She just had a premonition that someone would obstruct the marriage, but she didn't expect that the crow's mouth was right.
"Don't pay attention, let the other party go."
She ordered from across the sedan chair.
Sometimes you can avoid it without giving way. The other party seems to be deliberately looking for trouble and comes directly in the direction of the sedan.
Then there was a loud bang.
The dark coffin landed on the ground, and everyone panicked: "It's not good, it's not good, the old man is angry, something evil has happened."
Jiang Yunxu was shaken while sitting in the sedan chair. She held on to the sedan chair for a while before she stabilized herself.
"Princess, these people are here for you. There are too many people attending funerals, and our team has been crowded." Hong Qiao reported the situation outside in a low voice.
Jiang Yunxu opened the red hijab in anger and got out, not to mention it was unlucky.
Today even the King of Heaven and I can't stop her from going to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
