Chapter 50 The Big Wedding (The Finale)

Qi Shao told Xie An about his perfect plan, and said with a sinister smile: "Drag people to that no-man's land hehe, do you understand how to do it?"

Xie An was ashamed.

He actually wanted to tie up the sons of General Lu and the eldest princess, and beat him up violently. He wanted to marry such a family. What are you planning, Your Highness?

He didn't dare to do such a bold and reckless thing.

However, Qi Shao asked him to guard Lu Mingtan, which gave him a good chance. Xie An felt that if he monitored Lu Mingtan and grasped his every move, he would be more responsible when reporting back to the prince.

After Lu Mingtan heard the news of the marriage, his whole body was about to collapse. He didn't expect Wei Xuan to be so brazen. He and the Qi family divorced in just half a month, and when Wei Xuan and the Shen family had a marriage contract, he didn't know what to do. What kind of means made Emperor Yuanjia change his mind and agreed to his marriage with Qi Jiuzhu.

Lu Mingtan was really unwilling to allow Wei Xuan's scheme to succeed easily, he didn't even care about his noble status as the son of General Zhen Guo, and finally condescended to come to Qi's house in person.

Qi Jiuzhu was also very surprised to see Lu Mingtan coming. Besides, her elder brother looked resentful when he saw Lu Mingtan. She was worried that if he disagreed with him, he would raise his fist and beat him up to relieve his anger.

After finally persuading her brother to leave, she said politely to Lu Mingtan: "Please sit down, Mr. Lu, Chen Xiang, go and pour tea for Mr. Lu."

Chen Xiang rolled her eyes and left.

"I don't know what business Lu Langjun came here today?"

Lu Mingtan saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he got up suddenly, and felt that he couldn't bear face, hesitated again and again, then mustered up the courage, and suddenly said: "I want to apologize to the lady for what happened at Lanji Temple that day, please Ma'am, forgive me, I was also confused for a moment..."

Qi Jiuzhu frowned, but interrupted him, "It's all over, and I don't take it to heart, and Lu Langjun doesn't have to remember it."

Her words were cold, and the smile on her face was also faint.She doesn't want to mention this past event again. Even when she recalls it now, she also feels that those days were very difficult. She experienced betrayal, despair and collapse.

Fortunately, time has healed her sadness and sadness, not to mention that she didn't like Lu Mingtan. After retiring from the Lu family, although she was scolded by her father and embarrassed by her stepmother, she was very fortunate. The dream revealed that she would marry into the Lu family. The tragedy ended, but fortunately Lu Mingtan also made a happy choice.

Although there were several twists and turns, she finally succeeded in retiring the engagement.

Seeing her, Lu Mingtan just smiled lightly, as if he didn't take it to heart at all, he clenched his fists tightly. Could it be that she didn't care about this marriage? Does it matter to her whether he divorced or not?

Why?She even looked down on him.Why did she look down on him?
He felt more and more unbalanced in his heart, and he was unwilling to accept such humiliation. Every time he entered the palace, he would see his fiancée and his uncle loving each other in front of him, and he would even treat her like an elder. Prostrate and kneel.

Just thinking about it would drive him crazy.

Crazy jealousy and unrequited love tormented him all the time, making him miserable.

Why did Wei Xuan fall in love with Qi Jiuzhu? Why did she marry someone else when he was already in love with her? She should belong to him.

The flames of jealousy raged high in his heart, "Do you know that the crown prince has plotted against us a long time ago. Ruoyan told me that she wrote to ask the lady to meet, and there was an expert behind her back."

Wei Xuan had obtained Bo Ruoyan's body deed a long time ago, and he had been to Lanji Temple that day, Lu Mingtan didn't believe it was just a coincidence at all.

That expert is Wei Xuan.

In the past, he couldn't figure out why Wei Xuan did this. He thought he had seized his own advantage and used it to blackmail the General Zhen's mansion. Only now did he figure out that his goal was Qi Jiuzhu from the very beginning.

Qi Jiuzhu was startled, it turned out that Wei Xuan had already started to plot against him since then.

She served tea and took a sip to hide her nervousness and uneasiness.

"But the matter of Mr. Lu raising a concubine is also a fact, isn't it?"

Although Wei Xuan used means, Lu Mingtan was not without fault.

Lu Mingtan was at a loss for words for a moment, he was not the only one in Chang'an City who raised a concubine, even after marriage, a man would have three wives and four concubines, why in Qi Jiuzhu's eyes, it seemed to be an unforgivable sin, he really couldn't understand.

Qi Jiuzhu seemed to be able to see through his mind at a glance and understand what he meant, but Lu Mingtan didn't understand that he was just raising a concubine, and she insisted on making a fuss to the point of annulling the engagement.

"In Lu Langjun's opinion, it is the most normal thing to have a concubine or have a few concubines, but Jiuzhu disagrees. Jiuzhu believes that husband and wife should be equal, respect and support each other For a lifetime, no matter what the prince has done before, he has one advantage that Lu Langjun cannot do, he promised me that he will never take a concubine in this life."

Lu Mingtan looked at her in disbelief, unable to believe what she said, he is the prince and the future emperor, and he actually made such a promise.

For Wei Xuan, it was almost impossible to do this, and his high position did not allow him to do so.

No, there is no man in this world who can do it. In the next few decades, it is impossible for him to face only one person, that is himself. Apart from pity for Bo Ruoyan, he is also sincerely moved. But when he met Jiuzhu, he fell in love with her unpreparedly.There are many things in this world that he can't control, just like feelings, they can't help themselves at all.

Why is Wei Xuan an exception? What he can't do, Wei Xuan can't do in his opinion.

He is a man, so he understands all the men in this world.

Lu Mingtan chuckled, one day, she will know that Wei Xuan is not trustworthy at all, he is full of lies, full of calculations, and even worse than him.

He sneered excitedly, "Miss Qi knows that the prince is calculating and pressing every step of the way. He planned this divorce from the beginning to the end. You and I are all pawns on his chessboard. Even so, Madam Qi still thinks that he Is it better than me?"

Qi Jiuzhu tightly pinched the handkerchief, her fingertips turned white, she stared blankly at Lu Mingtan, no matter how calm she was, she couldn't control the extremely shocked look in her eyes.

But everything is a foregone conclusion, she has no other choice.

She was silent for a long time, then she got up slowly, and felt deeply blessed by Lu Mingtan. She didn't answer his words, but said unhurriedly: "Lu Langjun just thinks that Jiuzhu should accept Lu Langjun's concubine calmly." For this matter, if you want to retire the engagement, it should be Lu Langjun who took the initiative to mention it, right?"

Lu Mingtan's face turned red. He did think so when he didn't realize that he was in love with Qi Jiuzhu at first, but later he learned that he gradually discovered Qi Jiuzhu's goodness. She is calm, intelligent, and rational. Rob, all these advantages made him fall in love with her irresistibly.

He really admired her.

"Lu Langjun is the proud son of heaven, with a noble background, but he is not the same as Jiuzhu. After the marriage decree, everything is a foregone conclusion. Just like the choice Lu Langjun made back then, Lu Langjun will definitely not You will regret your choice, right?"

Lu Mingtan was choked, he couldn't say a word, he regretted it, ever since he met Qi Jiuzhu at Lanji Temple that day.

How could he accept that Qi Jiuzhu married someone else, not to mention that the person she married was his uncle.

Dealing with Lu Mingtan had exhausted Qi Jiuzhu, and all the things she had encountered before should be over after she married into the East Palace.

"Jiuzhu's marriage is something that you and I can't resist. That's all I have to say. I hope Lu Shizi will not come again in the future. It's getting late. Tomorrow is the day of Jiuzhu's wedding. Jiuzhu should also make preparations. Chen Xiang, see off the guests!"

They are not of the same way, and what they think in their hearts is also different. Lu Mingtan can't understand and can't give her what she wants. Wei Xuan is not a good match, and Lu Mingtan is not.

Retiring the marriage with Lu Mingtan is still the wisest choice she has made.

If she was asked to choose again, she would definitely choose the same way.

After Lu Mingtan left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was always in a state of anxiety. In the past, she was always worried that her marriage was undecided, and that Chen Yao would interfere with her marriage.

Now that her marriage is finally settled, can someone like Wei Xuan really entrust her to her for life?He is deep in thought, good at calculating, and he has duplicity in his appearance. He always said that a half-king is like a tiger, and the way forward is unclear, so she can't always feel at ease.

After dealing with Lu Mingtan, she was already exhausted. She just wanted to have a good night's rest, but tomorrow was her wedding day, and she couldn't sleep. She put the jade finger on her hand. The finger was much bigger, and the jade finger was dangling on her finger. She looked at the dark night sky and felt a little confused.

"You are not the nursing home of the Qi family, who are you? And who sent you?"

Qi Jiuzhu found Xie An who was guarding in the yard. She has always had a good memory. After Liu Yun's betrayal of the master, she was very familiar with every servant in the mansion. The nanny abused Qi Hui, and she was even stricter in interrogation Everyone in the house.

And she had never seen this nursing home before, and it was definitely not her invitation.

This person appeared in the mansion quietly, and no one has ever noticed it. It can be seen that he has martial arts and has been lurking in the mansion.

Such a master appeared in the mansion, appeared around her, but did not hurt her, then he must be sent by Wei Xuan.

This can explain why she was married to the Gu family, even Chen Yao didn't know about it, but Wei Xuan not only knew about it, but also quietly intervened, giving the marriage first.

"You belong to His Royal Highness, right?"

Xie An slapped himself on the head suddenly, he was too careless, this wife of the Qi family and his prince are really a perfect match, they are both ghosts and ghosts, how did it see that he is the prince's person, he didn't say anything .

At this time, he just wanted to take advantage of his good lightness skills to slip away.

But this is the concubine of the crown prince, the one whom the crown prince has on top of his heart. If he offends Qi Jiuzhu, it is the same as offending the crown prince. Still, he deserves to be hit, and there will be no less punishment.

He even began to wonder if he had some kind of bad luck this month, and bad luck happened to him one after another.

Another day, he will go to Qintianjian to invite that Master Chu to drink, and ask Master Chu to calculate his recent fortune.

If necessary, he would ask the prince for leave and stay behind closed doors to avoid this bad luck before going out.

"My lady is really smart. Her subordinate's name is Xie An, and he was sent by His Royal Highness to secretly protect my lady."

Since he couldn't leave, he could only find an excuse to cover himself up. Could it be that he said that the crown prince sent him to monitor her and Lu Mingtan.

Then he might not survive tonight.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Qi Jiuzhu didn't continue to ask why, "Don't worry, I won't mention that I recognized you to Your Highness."

Xie An was overjoyed. Although Qi Jiuzhu was as smart as his own prince, he was much kinder. He must have seen that he had been unlucky recently and had been beaten many times, so he couldn't bear to betray him.

This future princess is really kind and generous.

His Highness the Prince's vision is really good.

"My subordinates thank Madam Qi."

Qi Jiuzhu smiled and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, I want to ask you for help, I want to know the details of the engagement between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shen Sanniang."

Can you talk about this?If he said it, would His Royal Highness kill someone to silence him?

"General Xie, don't worry, this is a little secret between you and me, and I will never let the third person know."

Xie An struggled in his heart, he had no choice but to trust Qi Jiuzhu.

He then told Qi Jiuzhu about Queen Shen's forcing Wei Xuan to agree to marry Shen Sanniang, and Wei Xuan's behind-the-scenes cause for Shen Shangshu's son to accidentally kill someone.

……

When Lu Mingtan came out of Qi's house, every step he took seemed to be extremely difficult. Seeing the joyous scene of Qi's house covered with red silk, he felt the eye-catching red color was particularly dazzling.

He wished he could step forward and tear up those glaring red silks to relieve his anger.

When he came out of Yanguiyuan, he kept thinking about what Qi Jiuzhu said, and thought about what had happened in the past month. He looked up at the sky, and the sky was full of stars, and tomorrow must be a sunny and sunny day.

It was also the wedding day of Qi Jiuzhu and Wei Xuan.

Originally, at the end of this year, he was going to marry Qi Jiuzhu as his wife.

But after Lanji Temple, Wei Xuan came to force him to withdraw the engagement, and he had no chance again.

The dignified son of the general's mansion of the town, let someone take his wife away, and can't protect his own children. This son of his is really a failure, and he is really useless.

In this long silent night, he was wandering in the street like a ghost, sneering sadly.

After leaving Qi's house, he didn't want to take a carriage back to the house immediately, and wandered alone on the quiet street.

Qi Shao had been waiting for him on the only way he had to go back home, and when he saw him coming, he grabbed his skirt and lifted him up.

"The one surnamed Lu, you can see that my sister is not nobody wants without you, the emperor bestowed a marriage, she is about to become the crown prince, His Royal Highness is hundreds of times stronger than you, you have to remember, my sister It's not that you don't want her, but that you can't get high at all now. She deserves to be the best person in the world, but you are not worthy!"

Although Qi Shao really wanted to beat Lu Mingtan hard, but tomorrow is his sister's big wedding, he can't bring any bad luck on this festive day, and he also promised his sister not to be impulsive, and everything should be focused on her big wedding .

But Lu Mingtan hurt Jiuzhu and caused her to fall into the water and get injured. He has always kept this account in his heart, and it would be good to be able to speak and stab him.

Lu Mingtan couldn't help laughing, "Yes! Now the whole Chang'an City is waiting to see my joke."

The person whose marriage was retired by him turned into his aunt and concubine. Qi Shao was right, he was out of reach for Jiuzhu now, and every time he saw her, he had to kowtow to her.

To him, this is a great shame and humiliation, and he simply cannot accept why she married Wei Xuan, and how he will face her and himself in the future.

"Look at the failure of your life! I heard that your outer room has been swept out by the eldest princess, and the child is gone. Lu Mingtan, this is your retribution."

The piercing laughter lingered in his ears for a long time, he looked up blankly, his eyes were scarlet, and he would live in pain and ridicule every day from now on.

He even felt that he was a complete joke.

He was not reconciled, it was Wei Xuan who took his beloved and killed his child, and he wanted revenge, revenge.

He is a feeble scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. Qi Shao threw him out. He fell heavily on the ground and kicked him, "Get out! If you dare to come to Qi's house in the future, I will definitely See you hit once."

Seeing Lu Mingtan's dispirited and embarrassed appearance, Qi Shao finally smiled with satisfaction, even if he couldn't beat him and stab him a few times, he felt relieved a lot.

He can be regarded as a sigh of relief for his sister.

He should go back and persuade his sister, tomorrow is the auspicious wedding day, so don't let Lu Mingtan's few words affect his good mood.

……

The newlyweds could not meet before the big wedding. The time for the big wedding was rushed, but Wei Xuan was afraid of wronging Qi Jiuzhu. In the past three days, the maids and eunuchs of the East Palace were about to break their legs.

For the wedding dresses alone, ten sets of different styles were sent. These wedding dresses were all embroidered overnight by the embroiderers in the palace.

Qi Jiuzhu met Shen Su'e in Lanji Temple, and they were very different in stature. Qi Jiuzhu was shorter than Shen Su'e, but she had an exquisite figure. She tried on these fancy clothes, but they fit perfectly. Obviously, this was according to her size. The wedding clothes were embroidered with peonies and colorful phoenixes with gold thread, and inlaid with many gorgeous pearls and precious stones.

Ten sets of jewellery, all of the finest gold gemstones and emeralds, and the golden crown of the Crown Princess was studded with gorgeous pearls.

The golden step shakes and tassels shone brightly under the candles.

There are countless rewards and treasures, and she has never seen so many rare treasures.

Chen Yao's mother and daughter watched those rare treasures being carried into the Yangui Courtyard box by box. Both envious and jealous, his eyes were red with jealousy, but his face was green.

Ten maids and nuns have come to Qi's mansion three days ago, teaching Jiu Zhu the wedding etiquette and rules from the first hour of Mao every day, and only returning to the palace at the end of Hai hour. At the end of the day, she has a sore waist and leg pain, All kinds of kneeling and saluting actions are required to be extremely standardized, and Nanny Gui, who is in charge of teaching etiquette, is even more rigid and serious.

Qi Jiuzhu is the crown prince's favorite person. She dare not punish at will, but she will ask her to do every movement well. If any movement is not standardized, she will be asked to do it over and over again, and strive to make every movement standardized.

On the third day, the nanny who taught the servants came and taught her the rules and methods of serving the servants. On that night in Prince Yu's Mansion, although she had skin-to-skin relationship with Wei Xuan, she recalled that day in Prince Yu's Mansion. The red-faced scene happened, and her face was as red as blood.

Seeing the pictures on the album, she blushed even more with shame, but the old lady still liked to ask questions, asking those few embarrassing actions over and over again.

In the end, the old nanny also told her that she should keep this picture book with her, so that she can learn it and use it now when she gets married tomorrow.

Qi Jiuzhu held her flushed cheeks and muttered, "Who wants to learn."

After studying for three days, I finally learned all the tedious etiquette of the big wedding, until the nuns were satisfied, and they all left Yangui Hospital, it was already the third watch.

After learning the rules for a few days, she only felt sore all over her body. Tomorrow was her and Wei Xuan's wedding day. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a while, a sense of drowsiness swept over her, and she fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, she seemed to have come to a magnificent palace. The person on the dragon chair and Wei Xuan's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar. Although he was nearly fifty years old, he was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and looked dignified. It can be seen that his appearance when he was young is also very good, but his face is full of anger, and he is already very angry.

He got up suddenly, and still knelt on the head of the person above the hall with all the notes before the case.

And that person is Wei Xuan.

"Empress Shen led a group of ministers to kneel outside the palace, accusing you of seizing your minister's wife, mutilating Zhongliang, and using sinister and vicious methods. Ten years ago, you caused King Liang to fall from a horse, framed King Jin, and you did everything you can to murder your brothers. , the ministers wrote a letter requesting me to abolish the crown prince and replace him with the king of Liang. These memorials are all for impeaching you, and the evidence of your crimes is recorded in every book, so what else do you have to say?"

The courtiers outside the palace were impassioned, with angry faces and loud voices, they kowtowed in unison: "Please also ask Your Majesty to abolish the crown prince and replace him with the king of Liang."

Emperor Yuan Jia's face turned livid, "You really disappoint me!"

The corner of Wei Xuan's mouth curled up, and he said with a sneer, "I have nothing to say."

Seeing this, Qi Jiuzhu was anxious to step forward and say a few words for him, but she opened her mouth and said nothing.

Seeing the emperor's expression, she clearly made up her mind to abolish the prince.

For a moment, the officials were excited, and Empress Shen said loudly: "The prince has lost his virtue, seized his wife, slandered Zhongliang, framed the prince, and please His Majesty deal with the prince and give the Shen family an explanation."

The emperor's face was full of disappointment and disgust, "The crown prince has lost his virtue, and he abolished the position of heir of the Eastern Palace. He will be moved out of the Eastern Palace from now on, and he will be imprisoned in the Luoyang Palace for life!"

Then he said: "You go, from now on, I will not have your son."

Wei Xuan smiled indifferently, knocked heavily on the ground and said: "I thank my father, Emperor Long!"

A pair of Jinwu guards escorted the crown prince back to the East Palace. Qi Jiuzhu found herself lying on the bed, her lips were black and purple, as if she was seriously ill. Wei Xuan held her hand, leaned over and kissed her forehead tenderly, stroking her Pale cheeks, "Jiuzhu, I will get the antidote soon, I will take you away, away from the battle in the palace, let's go to Luoyang."

He looked at Qi Jiuzhu and smiled softly: "As long as you are by my side, I will be imprisoned for life, so why not be afraid."

It turned out that she was not sick, but poisoned.

But at this moment, King Liang surrounded the East Palace with his troops, and came in with a group of Jinwu Guards. The maids and eunuchs in the East Palace fell to the ground one after another. Surrounded by layers, at this time Liang Wang rushed in with a sword, pointing at Wei Xuandao: "You can have today's fate, you are all to blame, you are just born of a lowly maidservant, how dare you want to compete with me for the crown prince?" , today I want the entire East Palace to be buried with you."

Those maids and eunuchs who panicked and were forced to retreat to the corner were so frightened that they cried and knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please forgive us, His Highness King Liang, we don't know anything, we didn't do anything, we are innocent. "

Liang Wang looked up to the sky and smiled, "Innocent? I can only blame you for following the wrong person."

"Wei Xuan, aren't you very capable? This king wants to see if you can protect them."

He made a gesture to the Jinwu guards surrounded by troops, "Father has an order. The prince has done many evils, framed the prince, and harmed Zhongliang. I will abolish him now. Everyone in the East Palace is the apostate of the abolished prince. This king obeys the father's order. Shoot to kill."

Wei Xuan put his hand on the saber at his waist, but he didn't draw it. Heart-piercing shouts came from outside the hall. The sharp blade pierced their chests and cut their throats. The court ladies and eunuchs who were loyal to him, and even those old slaves all fell into a pool of blood.

Those wide eyes seemed to be accusing him of not saving them.

Wei Xuan looked closely at King Liang, "I have already been deposed, so why do you have to kill them all? In the future, if you enter the East Palace, they will be loyal to you."

Liang Wang Wei Li let out bursts of arrogant laughter.

"It was you who harmed them. When you designed to frame me, you should have thought of today's end."

Wei Xuan walked in front of him, "Jiuzhu is poisoned, you colluded with the queen, let the emperor decree to abolish me, I have never refuted a word, now is the time to fulfill your promise!"

Wei Li laughed loudly, "You gave up the crown prince for a woman, Wei Xuan, you are really a complete waste! From the moment you fell in love with her, you have a weakness, a weakness , you will tie your hands and feet and show your flaws, and in order to protect her, you will become cautious and doomed to fail today."

He threw the bottle containing the antidote on the ground, Wei Xuan picked it up with a bow, quickly helped Jiuzhu up, fed her the antidote, and the person on the bed finally woke up.

He hugged her into his arms and wept with joy, "Jiuzhu, you finally woke up, don't be afraid, I'll take you out of here, let's go to Luoyang."

As long as Jiuzhu can come back to life, he doesn't need anything.

He pulled out his long sword, protected Qi Jiuzhu behind him, and gently covered her eyes, "Jiuzhu, close your eyes and don't look at them. I will take you away after I finish them off."

The King of Liang knew that Wei Xuan's martial arts were excellent, so he retreated, "The abolished prince wanted to commit treason, and the archers shot him to death."

Qi Jiuzhu shook her head desperately, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, "Your Highness, there are too many of them, we can't escape."

Wei Xuan held her face and kissed her lips, "Don't be afraid Jiuzhu, I told you that I will protect you. I've already had people prepare and leave the book, and when I go to Luoyang, I will return it to you." Freedom. I know you have Gu Yan in your heart, and I used means to ruin your marriage before, so don't hate me."

He gently pushed Qi Jiuzhu to the bodyguard behind him, "Protect the princess."

"No, Your Highness!"

He rushed out with a long sword in his hand, and those Jinwu guards with swords and armor surrounded him in the middle.

There were thousands of Jinwu Guards brought by King Liang to the East Palace. The Jinwu Guards were ordered to shoot and kill, but they still couldn't stop Wei Xuan from desperately fighting.

Only then did Qi Jiuzhu realize that he didn't make a move just now to preserve his strength, and it was to make a last blow for her to survive.

"Wei Xuan, do you think you can get out alive? If I let you go to the Luoyang Palace today, I will let the tiger go back to the mountain. If you can't go, not only you, but everyone in the East Palace will be implicated by you and will die tonight. Here, their results are all caused by you, and it is your wishful thinking that has harmed them."

Wei Li let out a wild laugh, his body trembled wildly, his face was distorted and deformed, his eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Wei Xuan was shot in the ribs by an arrow, he covered his wound in pain, held the arrow in one hand, and cut off one end of the sharp arrow with the other hand, and stabbed the Jinwu guards with the sword.

But he was already injured, and he was no match for the siege of thousands of Jinwu guards. His arms and legs were stabbed, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness, don't fight anymore, we can't fight."

Qi Jiuzhu burst into tears like rain, crying and pleading.

Wei Xuan looked back and smiled, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Finally, he tried his best to fight a bloody path. Two guards stood in front of him and Qi Jiuzhu to cover them from leaving, but the two guards were shot into a sieve in a short while.Holding the nine beads, he jumped out of the tall palace wall with the power of the tree.

Liang Wang hurriedly said to Jin Wuwei: "Shoot the arrows, don't let them escape."

Thousands of arrows were shot at Wei Xuan and Qi Jiuzhu. He held Qi Jiuzhu tightly in his arms and pointed his back at the rain of arrows.

"Your Highness, don't! Don't..."

Wei Xuan spat out blood and smiled, "Jiuzhu, thank you."

Thank you for being by my side, thank you for pulling me out of that dark hell.

"I can't protect you anymore in the future, I have to live well."

He pushed Qi Jiuzhu lightly, and someone outside the city wall caught her. It turned out that he had already guessed that Wei Li would not let him go, and just now he did not hesitate to protect her with his life just to protect her and give her a way out.

And his white robe was almost stained red with blood, like a kite with a broken string, falling from the city wall, with a smile always on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, don't die, I don't want you to die."

Qi Jiuzhu cried hoarsely, and suddenly woke up from a dream in the middle of the night. Chen Xiang was awakened, saw her sitting on the bed with her arms folded, and asked, "What's wrong, my lady?"

Her face was full of tears, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Chen Xiang, I had a dream, in the dream he...he died to save me..."

Qi Jiuzhu broke down in tears, with a painful look on his face, "Everything started because of me, if he hadn't married me, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

He could have escaped, but he left the hope of life to her.

Why would he do this?
"Chen Xiang, do you think he will become unlucky if he marries me?"

He lost his position as the crown prince and was shot to death by random arrows, which ended in a tragic end.

Chen Xiang shook her head in a daze, "My wife is the best person in the world, and the person who dreams of marrying her must also be the luckiest person in the world."

Qi Jiuzhu buried her head in her arms, and when she learned that he had woven a dense net for herself and walked into his layout step by step, she blamed him.

But if that dream was real, how could she hate it.

"What's wrong with the lady?"

Qi Jiuzhu looked out the window at the dark night, "I had a dream just now, a dream that made me very sad. In that dream, we all died."

The elder brother died in battle, the prince was killed by King Liang, and her ending.

She died for Wei Xuan.

Although she can't feel the extremely sad state of mind in the dream now, she has always been calm and rational, and the matter of dying for Wei Xuan is not like a choice she would make.

Chen Xiang frowned when she heard that, such unlucky words on the night before the big wedding were not a sign.

"My lady, the dreams are all fake. Don't worry about it. It will be dawn in two hours. Tomorrow, my lady will enter the palace as a concubine. At that time, my lady and Your Highness will be harmonious as husband and wife and become the envy of everyone." A pair of fairy couples."

It was pitch black outside, as if covered with a huge black cloth, which made people feel depressing.

With the experience of the previous dream, she had to be more cautious, "Has elder brother returned home?"

Chen Xiang nodded, "Mr. Shao Lang returned home fifteen minutes ago."

"Go and ask brother to come over for me."

Chen Xiang had never seen her so sad and sad, thinking that Mr. Shao Lang was there, and he would be able to comfort him for a while, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly took the lantern to invite Qi Shao to come over.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Shao asked anxiously: "What's wrong with my sister? You called me here late at night, but what happened?"

According to the dream just now, a major event will happen today. Empress Shen's nephew Shen Ye accidentally beat someone to death. The emperor ordered the prince to imprison him, and three days later he was executed on the street.

When Mrs. Shen heard the sad news that her grandson had been beheaded, she became very anxious and died of a relapse.

The crown prince was replaced, Shen Ye was executed, Mrs. Shen died of illness, Empress Shen and Wei Xuan broke up, and then Empress Shen and Concubine Liu Shu joined forces to pull Wei Xuan from the position of crown prince and support Liang Wang to take the throne.

"Brother, do you know whether Shen Ye, the son of Shen Shangshu, is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and will be executed in three days after the crown prince orders?"

Qi Shao asked in surprise: "How would my sister know? It's just that he was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Ministry before, and he was executed this afternoon. Brother Wei personally imprisoned him."

How can it be so fast?Shen Ye's death was actually a few days earlier than in her dream.

"Jiuzhu, what happened?" Qi Shao saw that she looked sad and pale, as if she had received a huge blow, and he was a little worried about his sister.

Qi Jiuzhu shook her head, pursed her lips tightly and said: "It's okay, brother, go back to Muchunyuan to rest early, and it will be dawn in a while."

Qi Shao touched Qi Jiuzhu's head, "Although my sister's marriage is rough, she is a good match anyway. In order to marry my sister, Brother Wei personally asked for the imperial decree of marriage. Don't worry, Brother Wei is a very good person. He promised his brother that he would treat his sister well."

"I know." In the dream, he could protect each other with his life.She would not doubt that.

"Tomorrow is the big wedding. My sister's complexion is so bad. I still don't feel relieved. I'm going to ask the doctor to come and show my sister."

Since she had this dream and knew the ending of her and the prince, she would not let her brother and the people around her develop on the track in the dream.

"Brother, I just had a dream just now, I'm fine! Don't worry, brother. I'll be fine after a while."

The marriage of the Tian family is different from that of ordinary people. The prince and prince don't have to come to greet their relatives in person.

For three consecutive days, Wei Xuan kept his eyes open. Everything related to Qi Jiuzhu's wedding was watched by him personally. The wedding dress was also selected by him, and every decoration in Mingzhu Pavilion was selected by him from the warehouse.

Eunuch Qin combed his hair for him, put on a python robe to mend his clothes, and a gorgeous golden crown on his head, and was about to enter the palace to bow down to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yuanjia.

"Thanks to your dealings with Fengyi Palace these years, otherwise it would not be so easy to overthrow Shen Shangshu."

Shen Shangshu was demoted to three ranks, Shen Ye was also executed at noon yesterday, Wei Young was dismissed as a female official, and Empress Shen was banned for three months.

Even the lord of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was demoted and returned home early.

Shen Ye was executed, and Mrs. Shen fainted on the spot. The emperor sent more than ten imperial physicians to Shen's house overnight, and it was said that it was just a few days ago.

It is not easy to move the Shen family down. With only one Shen Jinyun, the emperor will be afraid of the Shen family. If the Queen Shen does not fall, Shen Shangshu may be reinstated.

Shen Jiayuan was seriously injured in the case of exchanging death row prisoners, and now he is too busy to take care of himself. The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace tried the case, which would be a complete offense to the Shen family. If the prince does not have enough strength to compete with the Shen family, there is no guarantee that he will not be pulled down by the Shen family.

After all, the prince was single-handedly supported by the Shen family. There are many princes who have no foundation in the palace. The Shen family can follow the gourd and help the prince to ascend to the throne.

Wei Xuan will guard against the Shen family's counterattack for a long time to come, and Emperor Yuan Jia is naturally happy to watch the Shen family and the prince fight. The king is the prince.

This was the plan in Emperor Yuanjia's heart, and it was also the current situation in the court. Although the Shen family's vitality was greatly injured, he was still the only one with no one to contend with.

Qin Zhong said with a smile: "There is a limit to what this old slave can do. I really dare not take credit for this."

Qin Zhong was chosen by Empress Shen from Fengyi Palace to serve Wei Xuan in the East Palace, and she was also Empress Shen's eyeliner, but even Empress Shen did not expect that the person she had used for decades had completely fallen for Wei Xuan .

Qin Zhong would tell Weiyang everything about the East Palace and the prince's every move every once in a while, but they were all insignificant things.

Only this Eunuch Qin knew that Wei Xuan had cultivated a secret guard over the years, and that the East Palace was not as calm and simple as it appeared on the surface, but in fact it was unfathomable.

Although King Liang said that he had been fiefdom in Luoyang for these years, he was familiar with every move of Chang'an City.

Concubine Liu Shu and the eldest princess also placed a lot of eyeliner, either they were pulled out, or like him, they were completely used by the East Palace.

"Your Highness, it's time to enter the palace. This old slave will prepare a chariot for His Highness."

Wei Xuan straightened his luxurious python robe against the mirror. This luxurious robe further set off his outstanding temperament and appearance, which is one in a million.

He had already calculated the time, entered the palace at that time, and at the end of the day, he went to Qi's residence with the public security team to welcome his sweetheart into the palace.

He finally married his sweetheart.

Qin Zhong actually saw that he was a little nervous.

Even if he is calm and calm, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will sweat from nervous palms and his face will turn red.

It can be seen that the crown princess has a lot of weight in Wei Xuan's heart.

"Before that, you follow me to a place."

Qin Zhong knew that the place Wei Xuan was going to was an extremely secret cell underground.

And there was a prisoner on death row, who had been tortured until he was half dead, but Wei Xuan used the best tonic to hang that person's life.

Walking through the dark and cold steps is the eerie prison cell. The man has been whipped half to death, and there is not a single intact part of his body.

It's really scarred, flesh is flying, and blood is covered in blood.

"Go and see, is he out of breath? After being imprisoned for so long, he can't die so easily."

This person was brought into this cell by Cui Jiu half a month ago, he would be hung up and beaten every two days, and he was whipped continuously for half a month, and he seemed to have lost all vitality.

But Wei Xuan refused to let him go, so he locked him here and received an hour of punishment every day, making him unable to live or die, and life would be better than death.

Wei Xuan was accompanied by Qin Zhong when he did these things. Qin Zhong is a smart person, so he naturally knows what is the most beneficial choice for him, and he doesn't even need to say a word.

In addition to this prison cell, there is also a hidden guard in the East Palace, who only obeys the orders of the prince. Qin Zhong doesn't know how many people there are in this hidden guard, and they are lurking somewhere, but he knows that the prince has been forbearing for more than ten years, and he obeys the orders of the queen and the queen in everything. The Shen family is by no means a soft persimmon at the mercy of others.

The strong smell of blood lingered for a long time, and it was disgusting to smell. There were bloodstains all over the man's body, which could be described as a bloody mess.

Qin Zhong turned the man who had been beaten to death, and parted his loose long hair, revealing that face, the right tooth was very conspicuous.

He probed the man's breath with his hand, "Your Highness, this man is still alive."

Wei Xuan hummed lightly, quite satisfied, put his fingers on the thumb, but found that the thumb was empty, thinking that his belongings were still in the hands of his beloved, he curled his lips unconsciously.

"Your Highness, can I ask this old slave to arrange for this person to be transferred to the government office?"

This man was tortured in the East Palace Dungeon for more than half a month, and even if his injuries were healed, he would not live long, but Qin Zhong did not dare to ask who he was and why he offended the Crown Prince.

Wei Xuan seemed to be able to read his expression.

"He hurt the Gu's concubine, locked him here, and received some punishment. Although it is still too cheap for him, but today is the day of Gu's big wedding. It is indeed a bit unlucky for him to stay here. That Master Zhang! You go there yourself, let that Master Zhang greet you well, don’t let him die easily. By the way, send the confession together.”

He took out a clean handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and smiled coldly, "There is a strong smell of blood here, let me clean it up carefully."

The white moire boots on his feet were spotless and spotless, in stark contrast to the dirty killer.

Until he walked out of the dark and dark dungeon and saw the scorching hot sun, Qin Zhong felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't stop blinking.

It turned out that it was because of the Crown Princess, His Highness valued the Crown Princess so much, he had to order those under his command to take good care of Lady Qi after she entered the East Palace.

The man who was carried out is a living example.

Offending and neglecting the crown princess is a dead end, no, it should be impossible to survive, not to die.

Wei Xuan didn't look at the killer from the beginning to the end, as if he was that inconspicuous dust, "The corpses of those people have also been disposed of, don't leave a trace."

The people Wei Xuan mentioned were the sneaky Qi family nurses who followed Qi Jiuzhu in Lanji Temple.

That day at Lanji Temple, he was taken away by the Jinwu guards who were interrogating the thieves. After those people confessed to Chen Yao's tricks, those people were worse than the killer's martial arts after all. They couldn't stand the punishment and died. In the dungeon.

The mother and daughter did a lot of evil, but he knew that Qi Jiuzhu had made the mother and daughter suffer, and the mother and daughter were not Qi Jiuzhu's opponents, so he did it again.

"Old slave understands."

Wei Xuan didn't look away for several days and nights, and now it's time for breakfast, "The old slave has prepared breakfast for His Highness, do you want to pass it on?"

"No need, it's time to enter the palace."
