Chapter 473 I Will Only Marry Her as My Princess
The wedding silks were unfurled, the colorful lanterns were swaying, there were laughter and joy in the Shangguan Mansion, the guests were all over the house to congratulate, the red candles in the bridal chamber reflected the double happiness, the light gauze and thin curtains made the place hazy, warm and filled with the sweet peach fragrance.
Luoying was sitting in front of the bed wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, her peerless face was lightly rosy. She smiled shyly, gentle and moving like a blooming crabapple flower, which was extremely fascinating.
Accompanied by laughter and noise outside, the door was gently pushed open, and the person who came in was wearing a red robe and a dragon and phoenix jade belt around his waist. Luoying was happy and her eyes moved. She raised her head slightly, but was suddenly frightened by the beautiful face in front of her that was wicked.
How could it be him?
Luoying woke up in a cold sweat on the bed. She looked around the quiet and bright room and breathed a sigh of relief. But soon a feeling of sadness welled up in her eyes. Now she couldn't even see Jiuyi in her dreams.
"Young lady, are you awake?" At this time, a maid pushed the door open with medicine in her hand. She was surprised to see Luoying open her eyes and immediately came forward with joy. After putting down the medicine, she took a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead as usual. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Young lady, you have been sweating a lot in the past three days since you were unconscious. Did you dream about something bad?"
"Aren't you Xiaochun, the one who serves Sister Dai'er? Where is Xiaoyu?" Luoying looked at the maid curiously for a moment before asking weakly.
"From now on, I will serve you, young lady." The maid Xiaochun was startled, her eyes dodged and she did not respond directly, she continued with a smile: "Young lady, it's time to take the medicine."
Seeing that she avoided the topic, Luoying didn't dare to ask more. She wanted to get up, but the moment she moved, she pulled the wound again. The pain in her heart made her frown, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead again.
"It's still painful after three days. You've suffered a lot, girl. You risked your life to block the sword for the prince, and the prince loves you even more." Xiaochun hurriedly helped Luoying up, wiped the sweat from her forehead again, and spoke softly.
The maid's concern for her made Luoying believe that this self-torture plan was effective. She hoped that Yan Han had completely eliminated his suspicion of her. Thinking back to what happened that day, she couldn't help but feel sad for the death of the young guard Ashan.
"Don't worry, young lady. The doctor said that the sword did not hit any vital parts, so there is no danger. The reason why you were unconscious for so long was because your body was delicate and you couldn't stand the pain, and you lost blood. Now that you've woken up, you're fine. You just need to rest in bed." Seeing the melancholy on Luoying's face, the maid Xiaochun thought that she was feeling uncomfortable because she had just pulled the wound, so she smiled and comforted her, and brought the medicine to her while speaking.
"Is the prince with Sister Dai'er now?" Luoying asked after she finished drinking the medicine with the help of the maid.
Xiaochun lowered her eyes, shook her head, and sighed again. There was a hint of uneasiness between her slightly furrowed brows. After a long while, she whispered, "Miss Dai'er is gone. The prince returned to the capital yesterday."
"Gone? What does that mean? What happened to her?" Luoying's heart sank when he heard this and he asked hurriedly.
"Don't ask, young lady. After all, it was Miss Dai'er who was confused and had no self-awareness that angered the prince. Who doesn't want to be a phoenix in this deep mansion? But you have to have this fate!" Xiaochun sighed again after hesitating to speak. After that, he put the empty medicine bowl on the table and continued to pass a cup of tea to Luoying, and then said, "We slaves are all ants. If we are careless or say something wrong, our heads will be in danger. So please understand, young lady."
Although Xiaochun didn't say it explicitly, how could Luoying, who grew up in a high-walled courtyard, not understand the meaning of these words? She guessed that she had avoided talking about Dai'er and Xiaoyu just now because they both died at the hands of Yan Han. He was really a bloodthirsty demon. Today it was Dai'er, and who knows what day it would be her turn. Thinking of this, Luoying shuddered all over. She must take this opportunity to speed up her actions.
"What? Prince Han dismissed all the concubines in his palace?"
In the palace of Shangjing City, Yan Qiao had just finished his breakfast and was shocked to hear what the shadow official said. What had happened to his second brother? Was he tired of all the beauties in the palace? Or did he suddenly realize that he wanted to keep himself clean? But the latter guess immediately made Yan Qiao smile.
"Prince Han recently got a peerless beauty and raised her in a villa in Yungui City. Three days ago, Prince Han was assassinated in the villa, and the beauty risked her life to block the sword for him." The shadowman hiding in the dark continued to report to Yan Qiao.
"A peerless beauty who risked her life to protect him?" Yan Qiao muttered and couldn't help but sneer. Could it be that his evil and cruel second brother would be moved by this and want to dote on this woman alone?
"According to my inquiries, the peerless beauty was purchased by Prince Han from a brothel madam in the maze city of Shangzhou for a hundred taels of silver..." Then, the shadow warrior in the dark told the whole story truthfully about the information he had obtained in the maze city.
"So that's how it is. This fifteen-year-old peerless beauty lost her memory five years ago and wandered to the countryside where she was taken in by a farmer's family. Five years later, she was sold to a brothel by her adoptive parents. On her escape, she happened to meet King Han. The girl's experience is really bizarre. However, I am curious about the life experience of this peerless beauty." After listening to what the shadow scholar said, Yan Qiao couldn't help but become interested in this mysterious girl. He sneered in his phoenix eyes and talked to himself.
"I learned about the girl's adoptive parents from the brothel madam, but I haven't found any trace of them yet."
"If she had planned this, how could you find her?" Yan Qiao smiled disapprovingly, and then ordered: "There's no need to track her down, just keep an eye on her."
I wonder if she is my second brother’s destiny or calamity?
"Yes." Yingshi bowed in return and disappeared.
"Your Majesty, King Han requests an audience."
At the same time, Eunuch Qin, who was waiting outside the side hall, suddenly spoke up.
Although Yan Qiao was surprised when he heard this, he immediately stood up and walked out of the side hall and went straight to the imperial study.
"Greetings, my royal brother!" Yan Han, who had been waiting in the imperial study, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully when he saw Yan Qiao.
"Second brother, please stand up. What brings you to the palace today?" Seeing that his second brother was no longer as perfunctory as usual in front of him, Yan Qiao was surprised again. He was stunned for a moment before waving his hand and smiling.
"Today, I have come specially to ask for an imperial decree from my royal brother." Yan Han still bowed and continued to reply.
"Oh? Second brother, what kind of imperial decree do you want me to issue?" Yan Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him with a smile.
"Aren't your royal brother and his wife looking forward to my marriage? Now I have someone I like, and I want to marry her into Prince Han's Palace to be my princess. I hope your royal brother will personally issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage." Yan Han replied with half-lowered eyes.
"This is a great event. I wonder which girl my second brother has his eyes on?" Yan Qiao smiled happily, helped him up and asked curiously.
"She is not a rich lady, just a maid I bought from outside." For the first time, Yan Han's picturesque face concealed her evil spirit and revealed a bit of gentleness.
"Nonsense! How can the prince of Xiyue Kingdom marry a maid as his princess?" It seems that his second brother was really moved by the girl's risking her life to save him. Although Yan Qiao understood it in his heart, his face immediately darkened. He naturally wouldn't care if his second brother wanted to favor only one woman, but letting a woman of such status be the princess of Xiyue Kingdom, wouldn't it make the royal family a joke again?
"Which rich girl from the Xiyue country dares to enter my Prince Han's mansion?" Yan Qiao's opposition was also within Yan Han's expectations. He sneered without being anxious or annoyed.
"She's just a maid. If you pamper her, just give her the status of a concubine..." Yan Qiao was choked by his words for a moment. After a while, he frowned and said again, but he was interrupted by Yan Han before he finished speaking:
"I have made up my mind. I will marry her as my princess in this life!"
"What? Are you going to learn from your third brother and be a sentimental person?" Seeing that he was insisting on his own way, Yan Qiao was naturally furious, and the coldness in his phoenix eyes increased a bit.
"I am not a sentimental person, but she risked her life to save me, so I want to give her this honor." Yan Hanxie's eyes showed contempt. He said in a calm voice, and then said: "If my royal brother is concerned about her status as a slave, why not let the royal sister-in-law recognize her as her adopted sister? Is the adopted sister of the Queen of Xiyue Country qualified to be the Princess of Han?"
"The more you talk, the more ridiculous it is!" Yan Qiao glanced at him coldly and said angrily.
"Even if my royal brother doesn't agree, I will marry her!" Seeing that he couldn't get the imperial decree to grant the marriage, Yan Han lost his patience and left angrily after saying this.
Yan Qiao gritted his teeth in anger as he watched Yan Han leave. He was so furious that he couldn't help but cough.
When Eunuch Qin saw that the emperor was angered by Prince Han again, he quickly sent someone to invite the queen, while he went into the palace to comfort her.
