C24 bridal maidens

Feng Ningyan's heart ached as she looked at him in astonishment. All the words that she had thought of on the way here were actually stuck in her throat, unable to be said.

"maidservant... maidservant... " She forced herself to calm down, and said while clenching her teeth, "How many girls in this world love Your Highness, only Your Highness doesn't want to marry, why does Your Highness insist on marrying Your Highness? Isn't that making things difficult for Your Highness, and also making it harder for you yourself …"

Hearing that, Shen Lingjue's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, the tip of her eyes revealing a warm smile that was hard to detect.

He lowered his head to look at her, then suddenly moved away and whispered into her ear, "I only want you."

"Why!?" Feng Ningyan did not expect Shen Lingjue to not hear anything, and could not help but to panic.

Shen Lingjue looked at the side of her face and felt that her skin was beautiful like porcelain, and under the moonlight it seemed even more dreamy.

At this moment, it was a dream, a awakening. He was in a daze ….

Resisting the thought of touching her, he twirled a strand of her hair around his finger and teased, "Wait until the night of the bridal chamber. This king will definitely tell you why."

Night of the wedding? He didn't want her to marry him, so he didn't want to tell her.

Feng Ningyan felt a strong sense of defeat, and wanted to ask more, but instead saw Shen Lingjue's cold smile, and her gaze suddenly sharp as a knife.

Then, he heard some people's voices coming from the Main Hall outside. It was obviously the accent of the Ningnan County people.

Feng Ningyan's breath paused, she turned and rushed to the door, opened it a crack and looked down.

Two maidservants supported a young girl with a veil over her face. She was dressed in wedding clothes and was escorted by her bodyguards as she walked in and sat down at a table.

Feng Ningyan bit her lips, if not she would have shouted out loud.

Even the maidservants were Lan Zhu and Lv Ruo, and the young lady in bridal clothing was actually Hua Ruoyu!

What was going on? The wedding procession had actually brought Hua Ruoyu back to the capital!

She was extremely suspicious, she turned and stared at Shen Lingjue.

Shen Lingjue looked at the scene outside and laughed with interest.

"What, does your Feng Family has the rule of buying one for one marriage?"

Feng Ningyan glared at him with a stifled expression: "Didn't Your Highness personally come to escort the bride? What are you pretending to be innocent for? Didn't you personally pick up my cousin's carriage? "

Shen Lingjue shrugged her shoulders, "Of course not, this king received news that a killer is ambushing a escort party at Celestial Wolf Mountain. This king was afraid that you will be taken captive and be unable to protect your innocence, so I came over from the capital to kill myself."

At this point, he paused for a moment. His gaze fell on her lips as if he was reminiscing about something. The corner of his mouth hooked into a slight, imperceptible smile.

He turned around, cleared his throat, and said: "Coincidentally, before even entering the Ningnan County, I met you, and followed you all the way to this inn."

Feng Ningyan blinked her eyes, her face filled with suspicion.

Why did this fellow sound as though he was lying?

"That's really 'coincidental'," she said mockingly, rolling her eyes, "But Your Highness is really flattering me. I, Feng Ningyan, do not care about my reputation or my wealth in this life. Not to mention for you? "

Shen Lingjue secretly laughed: "So it turns out that the Young Marshal who traverses the battlefield is actually a scarecrow that fears death."

"You …" Feng Ningyan really wanted to stomp on him.

Shen Lingjue said with a stern face: "Troublemaker, it's not because you escaped the marriage, so why would General Feng use a fake bride? This is not a small crime, but you should obediently return to the capital with this king. This king can plead for you and the Feng Family in front of royal father. "

Behind him was Shen Lingjue, who wholeheartedly wanted to force a marriage, and would frequently use the crime of bullying the monarch as a threat. With the wedding procession in front of Hua Ruoyu, Feng Ningyan felt like he was facing an enemy from behind.

She gripped the sword in her hand tightly and stared at the scene downstairs. "Your Highness, you just said that there will be assassins here to ambush the wedding procession?"

To be exact, it was an ambush, "Shen Lingjue said as she held down her hand that was holding her sword." Relax, the guards at the Duke Palaces are enough to deal with it and protect your family.

"No!" Feng Ningyan resolutely shook off Shen Lingjue's hand, "I want to personally see who the killer is!"
