Chapter 177 Rebellion
Chu Anlan's collar was ripped open.

He allowed several people to pull at his collar and look at him, then he straightened his wedding robe and said, "Have you finished looking? I told you long ago that my injuries have healed completely."

Chu Shaozhen nodded: "Tonight's wedding night, no problem at all!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Anlan kicked him and laughed with gritted teeth: "Don't you want your tongue anymore?"

"Am I not telling the truth?" Chu Shaozhen smiled while rubbing his legs.

Chu Anlan coughed hard, turned to Ye Wanqing and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense..."

Ye Wanqing smiled softly: "No problem."

Chu Anlan originally thought it was nothing, but when he saw her smile like that, his face turned red and his whole body became hot: "Don't talk nonsense! I will be angry with anyone who ruins my reputation!"

Chu Shaozhen took the lead: "Just pretend! Last night, I don't know who was asking the doctor if it was possible to... "

"What's so intense?" Chu Anlan smiled.

Chu Shaozhen was about to speak when he heard the ground shaking.

The guests, who were originally in chaos, suddenly quieted down and all looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.

At the end of the long street, countless cavalrymen holding swords were galloping on the red carpet.

The sword blade glowed with a cold light.

Someone exclaimed: "Isn't that the cavalry from Beidaying? The leader... is it Lord Lu Jilian?"

Chu Shaozhen, who was standing closest, was stunned: "Oh no, An Lan, the bride-robbers are here!"

Chu Anlan: “Bullshit!”

In the center of the crowd, Ye Wanqing moved away her round fan and met a pair of icy, cold and clear eyes.

Ye Wanqing was about to look away when suddenly, there was a smear of red in front of her.

Chu Anlan stood in front of her, reached out and held her hand, his voice was slightly tense, "Qing'er."

Ye Wanqing held his hand back and said, "Trust me."

Chu Anlan pursed his lips.

The cavalry was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they were ten meters away and stopped where they were.

Lu Jilian dismounted, handed the reins to the attendant beside him, and walked towards the crowd slowly: "Prince Duan is plotting a rebellion, and the capital of Jin is in chaos. I am following the emperor's order to capture the rebel and his accomplices, and to transfer the troops from the Southern Camp to protect the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

When the voice fell, the guests were in an uproar——

"Prince Duan is plotting a rebellion?!"

"Why would Prince Duan rebel? Is this a mistake?"

"Yes! Prince Duan is seeking the immortality, how could he do something like a rebellion?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Chenxi came back to his senses from the shock: "What kind of traitor are you catching? Can you catch them in my house? Tell me clearly, who is the traitor?"

Lu Jilian held the reins with one hand and covered his lips with the other hand and coughed a few times. His pale lips curved up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I am doing my job impartially, so it is inconvenient to tell you."

After saying that, he raised his hand.

Behind him, the soldiers from the South Camp immediately dismounted and entered the Princess's Mansion in a well-trained manner.

Lu Jilian looked at Ye Wanqing deeply, and then his eyes stayed on Chu Anlan's face: "I am sorry for disturbing the princess and the prince."

Chu Anlan blocked Ye Wanqing behind him and said, "How could Lord Lu be so rude? You brought so many people to drink at my wedding banquet with Qing'er. Please give me some face."

"Your Highness is such a joker." Lu Jilian said slowly, "The remnants of Prince Duan are hiding in various places in the capital. Jindu is in danger of violence and chaos at any time. The gunpowder buried by the rebels in various places may also explode at any time. Without further delay, please take the princess back to the Princess's residence as soon as possible."

return to?

The ceremonial officer was anxious and stood up again to speak: "Master Lu, you don't know that the bride must not look back after leaving the house, otherwise it will be unlucky!"

Lu Jilian tilted his head and said, "Didn't you hear what I said clearly? Prince Duan is plotting a rebellion, and the capital is in danger everywhere. If something happens, can you afford it? Is it more important than the safety of human life to get married?"

"This..." The ceremonial officer was speechless.

"Why did Lord Lu embarrass the ceremonial officer?" Chu Anlan sneered, "If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility. I will wait here. I don't believe that Prince Duan's men dare to come and chop me down."

Lu Jilian curved his lips and said, "I have important matters to attend to with the Queen Mother and the Princess Royal, so I cannot stay any longer. I will leave first." He then said to the soldiers surrounding the Princess Royal's residence and the long street, "Prince Duan's accomplices may be among the guests. Keep a close watch on them. If there are any suspicious people, arrest them immediately."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Wanqing deeply again.

Ye Wanqing's heart was as calm as still water.

When he met Lu Jilian's eyes, his expression was very calm.

Lu Ji Lian frowned slightly, turned around and strode into the Princess's Mansion.

There were bursts of exclamations in the mansion.

The ceremonial officer looked as if the sky had fallen, and clapped his hands vigorously: "What should I do, what should I do..."

Ye Chenxi stood close to Ye Wanqing, muttering to himself, "How could Prince Duan be plotting a rebellion? This must be a mistake! Yes, this must be a mistake...

Treason is a crime that will punish all nine generations of the clan. If Prince Duan really rebels, what will happen to my cousin Xiaoyan and Fu Yu? If all nine generations of the clan are punished, will I be punished as well?..."

He looked pale and distraught.

Chu Shaozhen and his group were also reminded——

"Does Prince Duan's nine clans include us?"

"Am I going to die too?! I haven't even gotten married yet! I don't want to die... "

"The crime of treason is punishable by beheading. When you die, you will become a headless ghost! It's so scary to be without a head..."

"..."

As they spoke, a group of people began to cry and hold their heads in their hands.

Ye Chenxi cried even louder.

Chu Anlan's face turned a little pale.

He pursed his lips tightly, and his beautiful eyebrows were twisted together.

"Are you worried that you'll be labeled as an accomplice of Prince Duan?" Ye Wanqing held his hand tightly and asked softly.

"No." Chu Anlan rarely showed a worried expression: "I am worried about Yan Xiaoyan. He broke up with us for no reason. Could it be... related to what happened today?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing stared into his eyes and said softly, "He has done enough to prevent you from being implicated by Prince Duan. So, don't let him down."

Chu Anlan's brows knitted even tighter, and his thin lips moved: "Qing'er, how could you know..."

Ye Wanqing looked up at the dowry that filled the long street, and then looked at the guests whose panic had not yet completely faded: "An Lan, it's time for us to get married."

If it's too late, the marriage may not be concluded.

Chu Anlan immediately understood what he said and ordered, "Even if it rains knives from the sky today, my marriage is settled! Pass it on and set off immediately."

After saying this, he sent his attendant to pass on the message.

Soon, the whole team was ready to go again.

Upon seeing this, one of the cavalrymen turned his head and whispered something to the person next to him. The person immediately dismounted and wanted to go into the Princess's Mansion to pass on a message to Lu Jilian.

However, unexpectedly, someone stopped him first.

Chu Gongxuan, who was keeping a low profile among the guests, grabbed his sleeve and said, "I didn't bring any attendants with me today. You come to protect me."

The man was stunned: "You..."

"Why, even this prince can't recognize you?" Chu Gongxuan asked.

The man was completely stunned: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince?"

"What are you calling for?" Chu Gongxuan's stern face showed a hint of displeasure: "Do you want to call the rebels and take this prince as a hostage?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

The message failed.

The deafening sound of gongs and drums began to sound again.
