"Yes, sir!" Leng Bing Xin acknowledged his order respectfully.
"I won't stay here any longer. If you are discovered by others, it will increase your danger level. Remember, you must act according to the circumstances. I will think of a way to deal with Gui Luosha as soon as possible!" "Don't be impatient." As he spoke, Duan Xingyi put on the veil around his neck, turned around, and quietly left. Looking at Duan Xingyi's figure, Leng Bingxin's heart was filled with warmth. No matter what, his master still cared about his life. That was enough.
Inside the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong stared intently at her reflection in the mirror. Her brows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like bright stars, her gorgeous phoenix crown was inlaid with all kinds of precious jewelry, her dress was colorful, and she wore nine golden embroidered phoenixes that looked as if they were alive.
"Princess, the time is about right. You should also prepare tea for the emperor in the Imperial Hall." Qing Lan spoke softly, her gaze landing on Duan Zitong in the mirror. Her beautiful face was beautiful, and when compared to her gorgeous phoenix coronet and gown, the current Duan Zitong sat there like a celestial being, awaiting her wish for the wedding. As for her, the one she yearned for was about to become her master's husband. She was jealous, but couldn't because she was no longer qualified.
"Mm …" "Help me get up …" Duan Zitong's voice sounded especially pleasant to listen to, like a jade plate that had fallen from a pearl that couldn't be forgotten. Qing Lan nodded and carefully helped Duan Zitong up. At this moment, Master Cheng who was in charge of the ceremony had already walked to the door. She had already hosted two grand weddings of the princess, so she was very experienced.
"The gongs and drums sound, and we respectfully welcome Seventh Master to the Imperial Hall …" In order to express her sincerity and filial piety, Duan Zitong walked all the way from the Phoenix Storage Pavilion to the Imperial Palace. The entire road was paved with red carpets, and the palace maids on her left and right held all kinds of flower petals.
Surrounded by the crowd, Duan Zitong walked up the steps of the Imperial Hall step by step. When Duan Zitong walked into the Imperial Hall, Duan Chen was already sitting there brimming with energy and vitality. Her gaze was fixated on Duan Zitong as she walked over, calling out Qin Yu Die's name repeatedly in her heart.
Yu Die, I have let you down for the rest of your life. I have made your son the crown prince, and I have betrothed the person I love to her.
Right at this moment, a serene voice sounded out in Duan Chen's mind. That's right, Duan Chen, you finally managed to make up to Qin Yu Die everything, but what about me? Where is my son, my daughter? Where are they? You tell me! Yeah, why did you tell me? I already knew everything, my son was forced to death by your father, and my daughter was taken by you as a concubine.
"Father?" Duan Chen's imagination was interrupted by Qing Yue's voice. Duan Zitong held a teacup in her hand as she looked at Duan Chen suspiciously.
"Ugh …" "Ah, catalpa, you must be happy …" Duan Chen slowly took the teacup from Duan Zitong's hand and drank it all in one gulp. The moment the cup reached his mouth, he actually didn't feel a single trace of sweetness. That sudden bitterness caused him to furrow his brows.
"Father, are you alright?" Duan Zitong asked worriedly.
"It's fine, let's continue …" By the side, Master Cheng naturally obeyed his orders, unlike a normal wedding. At this moment, outside of the Imperial Hall, Xiao Yuxuan, who was dressed in a wedding dress, was already waiting for his tall and handsome horse. His face was as graceful as a fairy, as if he was a god that had just descended to the mortal world. Before Duan Zitong left the Hall, she had already covered herself with a red handkerchief. With the support of Qing Lan, she walked out of the Hall step by step.
The suona and drum sounds rang out, the entire palace resounded with the joyous sounds of music, and just like that, the group of people left the Imperial Palace. Within the Hall, Eunuch Li saw Duan Chen sitting there without any intention of getting up, and he couldn't help but step forward to remind him.
"Your majesty, it's time for you to arrive at the Xiao manor." With the support of Eunuch Li, Duan Chen finally recovered his wits and left the Hall of Feudal Lords. Because he wanted to be ahead of Xiao Yuxuan's group, Duan Chen's Dragon Cage didn't take a detour and instead headed straight for Prince Xiao's Mansion.
When Duan Chen arrived at the Xiao manor, the entire Xiao manor was filled with happiness. The colorful flags fluttered, the red silk spread across the ground, and all the guests were present as well. When Duan Chen arrived at the Xiao manor, the entire Xiao manor was filled with joy as well, as the red silk spread the ground, as all the guests were present as well.
"This subject's wife, Duan Mu Yan, kowtows to the Emperor and greets him for all eternity …" Duan Mu Yan slightly bent his body as a calm look appeared in his eyes. Upon hearing Duan Mu Yan's address, Duan Chen couldn't help but tremble as he stared fixedly at his.
"Mu Yan, it's been so long since the Jing King's incident and you still remember it? royal father also did his best … " Perhaps it was due to Ling Ziyan's relationship that Duan Chen's heart was filled with guilt. The past was already something he had done, but Duan Jingyang and Duan Muyan were both his own children. In the past twenty years, he had cared about them, but now he no longer had the chance to make amends.
"On that day, this subject was rude and didn't thank the emperor. Today is the day Prince Xiao and the Seventh Master celebrate. This subject also wants to take this opportunity to thank the emperor for not killing us …" Duan Mu Yan kneeled down as he spoke. Originally, Duan Chen wanted to support her, but he was skillfully evaded by her. His three kowtows caused Duan Chen's heart to feel extremely uncomfortable and he blamed himself.
"Wake up. As for the marriage between Zi Tong and Yu Xuan …" royal father has also given you a computer … " Duan Chen really wanted to explain to his that he had asked his to choose him back then. However, she had not chosen to be with Xiao Yuxuan. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Duan Mu Yan.
"I believe they will be arriving soon as well. Your Majesty, please take a seat." Duan Mu Yan glanced at Zi Min. Zi Min naturally understood what she meant and passed the cup of tea to Duan Mu Yan.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea …" Seeing this subject's wife is truly rude. Just now, the emperor should have long since drunk the filial tea of the Seventh Princess. I presume he's not thirsty right now! " Upon seeing this, Eunuch Li immediately stretched out his hand to support Duan Chen, inviting him to sit on the left side of the table.
However, royal father is not here, and my husband's soul has already returned to the heavens. Now, only my wife is left in the Xiao Palace, and with my eldest sister-in-law acting like a mother, Mu Yan had no choice but to dare sit on the right side and receive the kowtow of Duke Ping and Seventh Princess. I hope the Emperor understands. " Before Duan Chen could reply, he had already sat at the right side of the altar. His eyes were looking straight at the manor door, and he was no longer looking at Duan Chen.
Time passed second by second, this wedding was a torture to anyone. Even though Duan Chen was sitting there steadily, his heart was in extreme pain. His daughter was sitting opposite of him, but she actually called him "Your Eminence". Duan Muyan's heart was empty. At this moment, she suddenly thought of nothing. All she wanted was for this feeling to end as soon as possible.
The sound of the gong and drums grew closer and closer and the sound of firecrackers rang out outside of Prince Xiao's mansion. The sound of the firecrackers were all ringing outside of the mansion and the firecrackers were ringing out in unison as Master Cheng followed the rules of the palace to manage them in an orderly manner. At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan, who was dressed in a wedding dress, jumped down from his handsome horse with an expressionless face and followed Master Cheng's instructions as if he had lost his soul.
"The groom kicks at the sedan!" Although it was palace etiquette, most people were no different from the common folk. After Master Cheng called out, Xiao Yuxuan casually kicked the sedan chair door, his eyes filled with dead silence. At this moment, an iron-masked man appeared in front of Xiao Yuxuan. Before Xiao Yuxuan could react, he was seized by the man.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yuxuan was calm, but didn't resist. In his mind, he knew how unwilling he was to complete this ritual. This sudden change was his best excuse.
"The one who stopped you from making a mistake!" Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows furrowed as his hoarse voice suddenly spilled out. However, he was still pulled obediently to the roof by the masked man.
"Crap!" The groom has been kidnapped … " Inside the main hall, upon hearing the commotion, Duan Mu Yan immediately ran out while Duan Chen also followed in shock. Within the sedan, Duan Zitong didn't expect that something would happen at this moment and rushed out without a care for anything else but the moment she tore off the red handkerchief, she clearly saw a figure pull Xiao Yuxuan's body as it headed off into the distance. Although she did not know any martial arts, she could still see that Xiao Yuxuan did not have the slightest intention of resisting.
"Let go of Ping Wang, this prince will spare your life!" Duan Xingyi pursed his lips into a smile as he looked at the steel-masked man before him with a meaningful gaze.
"Out of the way!" At the side, Xiao Yuxuan did not expect that Duan Xingyi would appear at this moment. The hope that had just been ignited in his heart immediately turned into ashes, and he was very clear that not only Duan Xingyi, but the emperor himself had personally come to the Xiao Palace to protect him from the shadows.
"Tsk tsk, with such arrogant words, let this crown prince guess who you are?" Duan Xingyi looked at the steel-masked man with interest, a trace of uncertainty flashed across his deep eyes. Impossible, that Shangguan Wuye brat wouldn't lie to him, who could it be? Just as Duan Xingyi was thinking this, the steel-masked man suddenly made his move. With a 'Falling Sand Swallow' sweeping across, Duan Xingyi jumped up and sent a palm strike straight down. The steel-masked man didn't let go of Xiao Yuxuan even if he attacked.
