away from the heart

Chapter 7
From the palace gate to Xue's mansion, the streets were crowded with people watching the excitement.Red silk and flying flowers, floats move slowly, accompanied by shengxiao and drum music all the way, it is very lively and festive.

A fast horse approached quickly. The rider was a handsome young man with a tired look on his face.The boy went straight to the bridal sedan chair in the middle of the procession, and Sister Sixi, who was following outside the sedan chair, had good eyesight. Seeing the boy approaching from a distance, she hurriedly signaled the accompanying guards to make way.The boy stopped his horse: "Miss Huang is getting married today, and I'm here to see her off."

In the bridal sedan chair, Tao Yao looked at the unconscious Chuyue with a sad face.Hearing the voice outside, he was overjoyed, opened the car curtain and shouted: "Prince Shun, you are finally here!"

Xu Xingchen's heart and eyes were full of Chuyue lying on the soft couch in the sedan chair.She was wearing a fiery red wedding gown, she was extremely beautiful, but the Fengguan Xiapei made her paler, even the rouge couldn't cover it, and she lost a lot of weight.He only left Beijing for a few days on business, and then he heard that the imperial sister was assassinated in the palace.He hurried back, but on the way, he heard that she was unconscious, and his father actually gave her marriage to Xue Yao Chongxi.

Xingchen got into the sedan chair and held Chuyue's hand.Her pulse was steady, but she was a little weaker, but nothing unusual could be felt.He frowned and asked Taoyao: "Please tell me in detail, what happened to the assassination of Huang Jie?"

"The princess accidentally fell asleep that day. She dreamed that an assassin came to the Canary Palace to kill her. The princess told us to run away separately. I originally wanted to rescue the soldiers, but I didn't meet anyone along the way. Later, I saw the princess. She was already like this at that time. The imperial doctor said that he didn't know why the princess was unconscious all the time, probably because the backlash was about to come..."

Xingchen took out a booklet, on which the twelve hours were arranged, and on the back were the patterns of the twelve zodiac signs, most of which had been erased by the ink brush, leaving only four: Zimo, Yinhu, Wuma, and Haipig. "When was the last time Miss Huang changed her dream?"

Taoyao thought for a while: "It should be that the princess dreamed that Mother Sixi fell into the well and saved her. Then one day around noon, I had a backlash attack. I couldn't find the princess everywhere that day, and finally found her running away. The stables ate up a large pot of grain and grass, and after eating, they ran madly for ten miles before waking up..."

Xing Chen was so angry that he dropped the booklet in his hand: "Why didn't I know there was another one?!"

"Yes... the princess won't let me..."

Xing Chen angrily erased the Wu Ma from the brochure: "I don't know what will happen this time... I have to find a way to wake up Miss Huang. If I wake up before entering Xue's house, maybe there is still a little bit of leeway." leeway."

Xingchen caught a glimpse of a small wooden box next to Chuyue's pillow, reached out and opened it, and there was a copy of "Guanshan Chronicle" inside.Miss Huang doesn't sleep at night, and she always likes to read some romantic stuff to pass the long night.He thought of the last time he saw Chuyue before leaving Beijing, she was holding this book, her face full of intoxication: "I found out that Quan Nansang's love stories are not as good as this travel note. This Mr. Guan Shan is doing it everywhere. He wrote down the local literature and introduced it to his fiancée wherever he went, and it was more exciting to read than any story about a gifted scholar or a beautiful woman.”

With an idea, Xingchen opened the book and read word by word:

"Wanwan my wife, the silk in Jianghuai is of high quality, and the clothes it makes are the best sellers. Because of this quality, merchants from all over the world come to trade and relocate, and I have to leave home. When the ferry goes south, the willows on both sides of Baling , very much like your eyebrows..."

Chuyue's eyes moved a little, as if she was about to wake up.Tao Yao shouted in surprise: "The princess has responded! Please continue reading!"

Xingchen felt that his teeth were going to be sore, so he suppressed the discomfort and continued to read: "...But in my heart, your eyes are the most beautiful March in the world..."

The sedan chair stopped suddenly, and the drum music stopped abruptly.The master of ceremonies drew a long tone: "Xue's residence is here—"

Outside the sedan chair, Xue Yao came forward to meet her, and Madam Sixi was delighted to see this: This son-in-law is not only the god of war in Nansang, but also looks handsome, and is a perfect match for the princess.

The master of ceremonies shouted again: "The auspicious time has come, please get off the sedan chair—"
