Chapter 170

On the soft sedan chair, Zhen Shi was still in shock. She raised the curtain of the sedan chair next to her and softly asked Jing Chan who was accompanying her: "Why did that woman become General Gu's younger sister?"

Jing Chan was also panicked, and replied: "The slaves were really taken aback just now, it seems that the people who sacrificed to the Flower Pavilion last time did not clean up, and they were deceived!"

"Haha..." Mrs. Zhen let out a burst of sharp laughter, and then suppressed her voice, saying: "Jingchan, do you think this is God's will? They actually made these two husband and wife! Hmph, God forbids it!"

"The matter has come to this, the empress still tries to remedy it..."

"Remedy? I'm afraid it won't be possible..." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhen's eyes, and he said, "Tomorrow is the day for the bride to enter the palace for a face-to-face meeting!"

Jing Chan nodded and said nothing.

Zhen said again: "The only thing I don't understand is why this woman came to the imperial capital from Ziteng County in the south of the Yangtze River, and even got involved with General Gu."

"If the empress is worried, you can directly attack General Gu!" Jingchan walked quickly, panting heavily while speaking.

However, Mrs. Zhen gave her a blank look, and said displeasedly: "Attack to General Gu? You probably forgot about the stupid thing. Next month is the wedding between Princess Jin and General Gu. Do you want to harm me?" A daughter becomes a widow once she marries?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhen said angrily, and then shouted to the guards in front: "Why haven't you arrived at Fengyi Palace yet? Hurry up, Bengong!"

"Yes, madam!"

***************

It was late at night, the noise outside gradually died down, most of the bright red wedding candles in the room had been burned out, and Yu Li was still covered with a hipa, sitting on the big bed in the room.

What kind of fragrance is smoked here?It made her dizzy and drowsy all the time.

Hong Xiu seemed to feel Yu Li's discomfort, so she asked, "Miss, are you hungry? How about slaves go and get some crispy fruits for Miss?"

Yu Li shook her head and said, "No need, Hongxiu, sit down for a while, you must be tired too."

Hongxiu naturally didn't dare to do it. Gu Cenya had already told her sternly that she was Yu Li's dowry maid, a slave, and there was a difference between a master and a servant, so she couldn't be suspicious.

The two waited for a while, and Hongxiu said: "Why don't I go outside and have a look, the banquet should be over, but I don't know why His Royal Highness hasn't come yet?"

Yu Li sighed secretly, it was a marriage in name only, why should she care?Thinking of this, she raised her hand and tore off the hipa.

"Miss, you can't..." Hong Xiu wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dongfang Shangyu's gentle voice came: "Are you angry? Is it my fault for being late?"

"Ah!" Hongxiu yelled in surprise, turned around and saluted, "My servant Hongxiu has seen His Royal Highness..."

"Get up." Dongfang Shangyu said with a smile.

Hongxiu got up, glanced at Yu Li on the bed, and walked out the door. This is no longer a story she can intervene in.

Dongfang Shangyu looked at Yu Li, and said with a half-smile: "I wanted to stir up your xipa personally, but I didn't expect that the xipa fell twice today, and I was not the one to do it."

Yu Li raised her head, looked at his eternally indifferent eyes, and said, "Why, do you feel ominous?"

"Hehe..." Dongfang Shangyu shook his head, walked to Yu Li's side, and casually took the Xipa in her hand, "I never believed in that, besides, you and I are married, what's so ominous?"

Seeing him approaching, Yu Li couldn't help becoming vigilant, "Dongfang Shangyu, do you still remember your promise? You said you would not force me..."

Dongfang Shangyu smiled recklessly. With a stride, he took off his shoes neatly, turned on the bed, propped his chin with one hand, and stroked Yu Li's cheek with the other, and said maliciously: "Li'er seems to be interested in Some of my words are remembered too clearly."

"Why, you..." Yu Li struggled to sit up, "You want to go back on your word?"

"Haha..." Dongfang Shangyu crossed his arms and laughed loudly on his back. After a long time, he finally laughed enough before asking, "Did you scare me?"

Yu Li was puzzled and still looked at him worriedly.

He moved his body slightly, lay down on the inside, and said, "Although I won't force you to do anything, there is only one bed in this room, so I can only make peace with you here. Li'er, the wedding night , you won't be cruel enough to ask me to sleep in the wing?"

Yu Li seemed to realize something, looking around, it was really as he said.I was too naive, how could there be two beds in the new house?

"Lie down!" Dongfang Shangyu blew out the red candle, and pulled Yu Li to his side.

Fortunately, it was midsummer at this time, and there was no need to cover them with quilts. The two slept with their clothes on, and they were careful not to let their bodies touch each other. They finally got used to the situation on the wedding night.

However, even though there is a safe distance between them, they can still feel each other's breath.

After being silent for a long time, Yu Li asked: "When we saluted today, why did the queen empress suddenly appear so abnormal?"

Dongfang Shangyu pondered and said: "She has always kept her secrets hidden, but for some reason, she lost her position like this today."

"She is your queen mother, why do you say that about her?" Yu Li's tone was a little reproachful.

Dongfang Shangyu was silent for a while, and finally said: "I am not born of her. To her, maybe I am just a chess piece that can inherit the great rule in the future!"

Yu Li was shocked!Soon I understood everything again.She turned her head to look at him, and said: "That day when you were poisoned, Cunfeng mentioned Fengyi Palace, so your poison was placed by the empress?"

Dongfang Shangyu didn't answer, it was acquiescence.

Yu Li didn't ask any more questions, but there was a trace of pity in her eyes when she faced the man in front of her.

The night passed quietly.

It's just that when they wake up, the distance between them has disappeared, and their bodies are so close, tightly dependent on each other.
