Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 446 Coup
The blood that spurted out of the emperor at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet made the situation in the court even more complicated.

After that day, Zhao Wangshu didn't see Yun Hao for four days. Although she knew that he came back every day, she was worried that he was too busy and neglected his health.

The tense situation in the court also affected the rear quarters. The ladies and girls in various mansions had no mood to hold banquets, and the capital suddenly became much quieter.

But everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm. Once the emperor passes away and Prince Zuo ascends the throne, the situation in the capital will undergo earth-shaking changes.

At this critical moment, Zhao Wangshu did not regret not accepting Wu Lin'er's enticement. Prince Zuo seemed gentle and polite, but in fact he was deep-minded and would do anything to achieve his goals.

As many people look forward to Prince Zuo's ascension to the throne, as many people hope for his downfall.

Time flies, and it is August 26th, the auspicious day for Prince Zuo to get married.

That morning, Zhao Wangshu woke up and asked as usual, "Where is Yu'er?"

"The master is playing in the garden with the young master." Lan Fen replied.

Zhao Wangshu was surprised, "He didn't go to the palace today."

After breakfast, she went to the garden to look for the father and son. From a distance, she saw Yun Hao throwing his son up and then catching him.

The little guy was not afraid and was giggling, but Zhao Wangshu was terrified and walked over quickly, "Yun Hao."

"You're up." Yun Hao said with a smile.

Yun Yu saw her and reached out to her, "Mom, fly."

"Your mother can't catch you." Yun Hao held him with one hand and reached out to hold Zhao Wangshu's hand with the other.

The family walked towards the pavilion, where tea and snacks were already prepared. Zhao Wangshu put Yun Yu on a small stool and took out some cakes to feed him.

"Why didn't you go to the palace today?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yun Hao asked jokingly, "Why don't you want to take me to the wedding banquet?"

"I'm worried that I won't be able to make a profit from the food. It would be great if you could come with me." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

In the afternoon, the couple packed up and prepared to go to Prince Zuo's Mansion. However, Yun Hao did not allow her to bring Lan Fen and Bai Rong, but asked Tian Shu and the others to serve as her maids.

Zhao Wangshu's eyes flickered, "Will something happen tonight?"

"It's better to be prepared than to take precautions." Yun Hao said seriously.

Zhao Wangshu nodded, "Got it, I will be careful, you should be careful too."

Suddenly thinking of Yun Yu and Madam Yun, "Have you arranged for someone to be with mother and son?"

"Mother will take Yu'er to Li Garden later. There is a secret room there." Yun Hao said in a low voice.

Zhao Wangshu didn't want to go to Prince Zuo's mansion to attend the wedding. Although Madam Yun would take good care of Yu'er, as a mother, she would rather stay by her son's side.

But she knew she had to go.

After sending his son to the Buddhist temple and handing him over to Madam Yun, Zhao Wangshu left the house full of worry.

The carriage slowly drove towards Prince Zuo's Mansion. Zhao Wangshu sat in the carriage, twisting her handkerchief in her hands. She didn't know what would happen tonight, but she knew that Yun Hao's caution was not groundless.

"Wangshu, relax, don't be too nervous." Yun Hao saw her tense face and comforted her softly.

"Okay, I'm not nervous." Zhao Wangshu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The carriage soon arrived at Prince Zuo's Mansion, and Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu were welcomed into the mansion by the palace's chief secretary and other officials.

In order to show his importance and respect, Prince Zuo planned to go to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion to personally welcome the bride.

However, when he married his first wife, he still asked officials from the Ministry of Rites to go, but when he married his second concubine, he went in person.

This attitude of flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak is really ugly.

The Prince Zuo's mansion was filled with joy, red lanterns were hung high, colorful silks were fluttering, guests were like clouds, and everyone was laughing.
After sitting for a while, I heard the master of ceremonies say, "The auspicious time has arrived. The groom is going to pick up the bride."

Amid the sounds of joy and firecrackers, Prince Zuo, dressed in auspicious clothes, bowed to the guests, then went out, mounted his horse, and led the wedding procession to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

An hour later, Prince Zuo brought the person back. The marriage process was the same, the only difference was that the parents were not present when paying the second respect.

The emperor and Concubine Chun were still alive, and on the table was the imperial edict arranging their marriage.

The newlyweds bowed in the hall, and the master of ceremonies said, "Send them to the bridal chamber."

Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu did not follow the other guests into the bridal chamber to watch the ceremony. They sat at the table, waiting to drink the wedding wine.

After the whole process in the bridal chamber was completed and Prince Zuo came out, the wedding banquet officially began.

Zhao Wangshu asked Yun Hao in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Yun Hao was about to speak when he saw a man walking in from outside. He frowned slightly and said, "Wangshu, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood tonight."

Zhao Wangshu widened his eyes, and after a moment of stunned silence, he asked, "Should I eat more and live a full life?"

"I'm here." Yun Hao held her hand.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere was becoming lively, when suddenly the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard.

Horse racing is not allowed in the city unless there is an urgent document of 800 miles.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the guests and Prince Zuo couldn't help but look towards the door.

The sound of horse hooves stopped, and then a group of soldiers rushed in.

Prince Zuo's expression changed slightly, "What are you going to do?"

Today is his wedding day, a happy occasion, and someone dares to break into his mansion at this time. It is really too rude.
The soldiers did not answer, but quickly surrounded the entire wedding venue, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and solemn.

Zhao Wangshu held Yun Hao's hand tightly. Yun Hao pulled her up and took a few steps back.

At this time, an armored general walked out from the group of soldiers. He walked up to Prince Zuo, bowed and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to ask any more questions. When the Lord succeeds in seizing the throne, as long as you obey the Lord obediently, you will be rich and prosperous."

Prince Zuo's face suddenly turned pale, "He Jiu, who are you?"

He always thought that He Jiu was a neutral person and wanted to win him over, but he didn't expect that He Jiu had another master.

The guests began to whisper, some showed horrified expressions, while others began to move quietly towards the door.

He Jiu raised his head, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness, a man who knows the times is a hero. The Lord is wise and brave, and he will definitely seize the country and ascend the throne to become the emperor. If you don't know the times, I'm afraid the prosperity of this mansion will disappear into thin air."

Prince Zuo took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart, "He Jiu, do you know what you are doing? You are rebelling! You will be executed along with your entire clan!"

He Jiu sneered, "Your Majesty, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. History is always written by the victors. When the Lord ascends the throne, who will remember what happened today?"

"Who is your master?" Prince Zuo asked sternly.

"Your humble servant obeys the orders of Prince Rong." He Jiu told the truth.

Prince Zuo was stunned for a moment, "What a hidden Prince Rong."

In the eyes of everyone, Prince Rong has always been an idle prince who stays away from the court and doesn't care about anything. However, no one expected that he would play such a trick today.
