“Do those of your Zhao family want to kill me? If His Majesty knows this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Su Lun wore a fierce look. When he was about to slap on Zhao’s face again, the door was slammed open.
Su Muge walked in with a sullen face. “Do you think His Majesty doesn’t know yet?”
Su Lun stared at Su Muge. “What did you say?”
After Su Lun sent the Zhao family away last night, Su Muge always felt upset. She asked Xinlan to send Cheng Ran a message to pay attention to the situation outside. Not long after Su Lun returned, Cheng Ran delivered the news to her.
“Father, you haven’t figured it out yet. Early in the morning, they stopped Princess Linghua who was on her way to the Imperial Palace. Do you think this matter can be hidden from His Majesty?”
“What did you say? They stopped Princess Linghua?!” Su Lun was shocked; he couldn’t imagine those countrymen dared to do such a thing.
“Madam, Miss, please get off.” The road to the altar was too narrow for the carriage to get through, so they had to walk to it. The onlookers were blocked on both sides of the street. Su Muge looked up from afar and could vaguely see the altar. There was a large open space below the altar. All officials and their families stood by their ranks, so the Su family could only stand in the back. “His Majesty is coming ...” Hearing a sharp voice, everyone knelt. Su Muge squatted down and looked up slightly; a bright yellow figure appeared in a distance. Xia Hourui was wearing a golden dragon crown and a dragon robe which was more complicated than usual. The imperial astronomer bowed forward. “Your Majesty, it will be the auspicious time after a quarter of an hour.” Xia Hourui nodded and turned to step on the stone steps leading to the altar. The altar was nearly thi
“Miss, it is said that the altar was already in chaos. Fortunately, we have left quickly; otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to leave at this moment.” After getting the news, Xinche was still terrified at the thought of the riotous scene. “Send my order: nobody is allowed to get out of the mansion.” “Yes.” Su Muge sat in her room and suddenly thought of Xia Houmo’s words before he left for Xiangshan Mountain. He asked her to keep alive. Had he known that this matter would happen? King Dingxi had risen in rebellion in the end. No matter what the result was, she could do nothing about it. “Mumu, will your father be in danger?” Zhao had been restless after returning to Su Mansion with Su Muge. She felt guilty for ignoring Su Lun and Old Lady Su when they left. “Mother, father and grandmother are both well protected by the guards. They’ll be fine.” “Madam, Miss, Lord Su and Old La
Su Muge put the willow leaves behind Xia Hourui and waited. Then she took out some medicine powder from her medical kit and burned it with fire. Instantly, the room was filled with a smell of burning medicine. “Rustling” In a while, there were some strange sounds in the room. Su Muge moved Xia Hourui’s body to check the willow leaves under his body. Some had already been gnawed. “This, this is ...” Finally, Su Muge could be sure that Xia Hourui was poisoned by poisonous insects. “All the poisonous insects love willow leaves. Once they smell willow leaves, they can’t help getting out. But they move so fast that ordinary people can’t catch them.” “So, what shall we do?” Su Muge frowned; it was hard to handle indeed! “Eunuch Yi, there are troops reaching the palace gate!” “What?” Eunuch Yi was scared with a pale face. “H
“Your Royal Highness, they have discovered King Dingxi. With no more than one hundred people around, King Dingxi can’t escape at all.” Donglin looked towards the mountain. Having been chasing his men for so many days, they finally had an opportunity to encircle and suppress them. Xia Houmo kept his cold expression. “Send more people. Don’t let him run away.” “Yes.” ... On the mountain, King Dingxi was pulled into the dark by a black figure. He lifted the sword in his hand. “Don’t be nervous. I’m here to help you, Your Royal Highness.” King Dingxi paused and stared at him with question and vigilance. “Who are you?” “Don’t mind who I am. You just need to know that I can help you leave the Chu.” “Conditions?” King Dingxi was not stupid and would not believe that someone would help him for no reason. “Of course, I have conditions. But
“Your Majesty, they are arriving.” Xia Hourui was waiting outside the palace gate in his carriage, and a palace people ran forward to report. Xia Hourui suffered a minor stroke. However, the treatment was relatively timely. Even if he couldn’t recover completely, his condition was much better than when he woke up. His mouth and his neck were still twisted, but he had stopped drooling after recovering his consciousness. “Hold me up.” Xia Hourui’s voice was hoarse. “Yes.” Eunuch Yi stepped forward and held Xia Hourui out of the carriage. The queue of the Emperor’s mother had already arrived outside the palace gate. The Emperor’s mother was held out of the carriage by a maid, and Xia Hourui stepped forward. “Mother, pay my respects to you.” The Emperor’s mother looked at Xia Hourui and revealed some excitement on her indifferent face. “My dear son!” The Emperor’s mother stepped forward to
As soon as Xia Houzhen and Xia Houkun sat down, many officials stepped forwards and surrounded them. Su Muge withdrew her eyes and continued eating and drinking on her chair. Soon, all the pastries on Su Muge’s table were finished. After drinking plenty of tea, she was very full. “Mother, I’m going to the toilet.” She whispered to Zhao. Since there were too many people in the palace, except for some high-rank officials who could bring their attendants, other attendants had to wait in the outer hall. “The road is slippery in snowy days. Be careful.” “Okay.” As soon as Su Muge walked out of the hall, she felt a cold wind. A little maid came up to show her the way. The toilet was in the courtyard behind the main hall. “Miss Su, this way please. I’ll prepare a warm handkerchief for you.” The warm handkerchief was used to wipe hands afterwards. “Thank you.”
The person stopped at the door of the room for a moment but didn’t come in and left quickly. Su Muge stepped forward and opened the door. After looking around and making sure that no one was around, she left the room quickly. When she returned to the main hall, it was still very lively. “Mumu, why are you away for so long?” Zhao had come back to her seat. Seeing that Su Muge’s hair was a little messy, she reached out to fix her hair. “Well, it’s too cold outside, and my feet are too frozen to move.” “The Emperor, the Empress, and the Emperor’s mother are arriving...” Hearing this, the people in the hall stepped forward to kneel and salute. Su Muge raised her head slightly. The Emperor’s mother was wearing a dark golden phoenix robe, with the golden phoenix’s head on her collars and its tail swaying with the tail of her robe. She was about 60 but looked as young as the Emperor. With ligh
After that, the Emperor granted Xia Houzhen and Meng Shushu a marriage. After the two stepped forward to express gratitude, the banquet began. After returning to her seat, Su Muge felt a cold sight. When she looked up, she found everyone watching the dance. Then she glanced at Xia Houkun and met his cold eyes. It turned out to be him who was staring at her. Su Muge looked away and ignored him. In the following banquet, she remained a low-key manner to be invisible. Xia Houmo changed his armor into a black robe and sat down. “Mumu, you, you are going to marry the King of Jin?” Zhao, who was still in a daze, looked at Su Muge in disbelief. It was said that things changed, but this change was too fast!? “Yes.” The people at the banquet all had different thoughts. Halfway during the banquet, the Emperor and the Emperor’s mother were tired, so the Queen and others
