Chapter 33: Asking for help
The wedding date is approaching, but the bride is unconscious, and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
In the end, Mrs. Xiao felt that this matter was strange, and remembered that Nanli had saved the Xiao family in danger, and Nanli was still a member of the Chu family, so she hurriedly invited their brother and sister over.
When the two arrived at Xiao's house, they learned about it.
Chu Ye frowned, worried, "Wanyi, is this sick?" β
"I don't know if she's sick or evil, she hasn't woken up since she fell into a coma." Mrs. Xiao wiped the corners of her eyes, only to feel that her daughter was ill-fated.
After that, he took Nanli into the boudoir and let her see what was going on.
Nanli looked at the mercy of the boudoir, and there was no problem.
She went to look at Xiao Wanyi's condition again, and found that her body was fine, but the wound where she was pricked by a needle has not healed yet, and there is still a trace of strong resentment on it.
"It's a curse." Nanli said.
"What is a curse?" Mrs. Xiao was a little surprised when she heard of it.
"To put it simply, someone wants Sister Xiao to wake up."
"What? Who is so vicious? Could it be the one who put the starving ghost last time? Mrs. Xiao held on to the table, almost out of breath, "Miss Six, either you can give the two of them a review of the eight characters, and see if they are destined to be in a hurry and are not suitable for marriage." β
Before marrying Chu Ye, her daughter had always been safe and sound, just like now, first there were starving ghosts entangled, and then she was cursed and unconscious.
When Chu Ye outside heard this, he also rushed in with red eyes.
He choked up and said, "Sixth sister, what if...... If it's really me who restrains Wanyi, I'd better give up this family business, I can't watch Wanyi suffer. β
If his life is not good, he will restrain his future wife, and he would rather never marry.
Lord Xiao has experienced two mysterious things, and he is silent at the moment.
Nanli was helpless, "Your life is very good, but you are too good, and there are a lot of rotten peach blossoms." β
Chu Ye didn't understand what a rotten peach blossom was.
Nanli explained again: "It's your bad fate, not the right fate." β
Chu Ye thought about it, and then blushed, "When my mother was looking at other people for me, there were indeed a lot of girls who wanted to marry me. β
As far as he could remember, he couldn't count it on ten fingers.
He didn't pay attention to it at the time, only saying that everything was up to his parents.
Who knew that when he saw Xiao Wanyi later, he fell in love at first sight, and then begged his parents to come to the door immediately to propose marriage.
Unexpectedly, those girls who fancy each other can be regarded as rotten peach blossoms.
Nanli nodded after hearing this, and asked Mrs. Xiao to call the first-class maid in the courtyard.
Because only they can enter the lady's boudoir and move the things in the room.
The two naturally denied it and did not admit that they had changed the embroidery needle.
Nanli naturally didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly pasted a mantra talisman on each of them.
One of the maids, Mei'er, immediately told the truth: "Someone gave the slave maid a hundred taels of silver, and asked the slave maid to change the embroidery needle commonly used by the young lady." β
As soon as Mei'er spoke, her face turned pale.
Mrs. Xiao was furious: "You are so bold! Who gave the money?! β
"The slave didn't know her, the woman was still wearing a hood, and the slave couldn't see her face clearly." Mei'er wanted to cry without tears, because she couldn't control her mouth at all.
Xiao Da was in a hurry, so he asked his subordinates to escort Mei'er down and wait for her to fall.
Mrs. Xiao also had no intention of tracking down who had cursed her daughter at this time, so she only asked, "Sixth Miss, do you have a way to save Wanyi?" β
"I don't have a spell to break the spell, and this person has a deep grudge, so I can't break the spell." Nanli said honestly, "If you want to wake someone up, you can only use that embroidery needle to prick that person's finger, so that you can break the curse." β
Mrs. Xiao's body shook, "The sky is big, and Mei'er hasn't seen the true face of that person, where should I find this person." β
"If it's my eldest brother's rotten peach blossom, it's easy to find." Nanli touched her chin and said.
Kyoto is big, and it's not easy to find someone, but it can lure people out.
The next day, the news of Chu Ye and Xiao Wanyi's resignation spread all over Kyoto.
At this time, many people avoided suspicion and did not dare to have close contacts with the Marquis of Anyang.
But there were a few families who didn't care about this, and when they learned that Chu Ye had withdrawn, they immediately brought their daughter to walk around.
Chu Ye is not only handsome, but also the son-in-law of the main family, the son of the righteous family, and he also has military merits in the army, it can be said that there is no such shop after this village, and those people naturally don't care about the eyes of others in order to get a good son-in-law.
But for a few days in a row, Nanli accompanied the Shen family to meet guests, and met those noble girls who hated to marry, but they didn't see the people they wanted to see.
Nanli wondered in her heart, could it be that she guessed wrong?
The days are getting hotter and hotter day by day, and a post was sent from the palace at this time, inviting Chu Ye to enter the palace to listen to the play, and it was Li Guifei who organized this banquet.
When Emperor Mu Wu was still the crown prince, the Li family was a good di, and he had always been favored, and after the prince ascended the throne, the Li family was named a noble concubine.
Li Guifei has been favored for many years, in addition to her appearance for ten years, but also because she is the sister of Qingguo Gong, her status is noble.
Chu Ye hated listening to the drama the most, and he didn't want to go, but the second prince Ye Chengbo went out of the palace to invite him in person, where did he dare to disobey.
If there is a good thing, of course he has to bring his sister, so he asked Nanli to dress up and enter the palace with him.
Chu Ye didn't wear a strong suit, he was wearing a cyan brocade robe, a snow and gold crown, and a handsome face added a bit of a scholarly atmosphere, as soon as he arrived at the Fengyue Pavilion, it overshadowed many noble sons and attracted the attention of many noble women.
Nanli Xianqian Palace is not popular, but this time it is different.
Stained with the light of a good big brother, even Lu Yanyan, who hated her before, greeted her with a smile.
Thanks to Concubine Li, she arrived soon, otherwise she didn't know how long she would be surrounded by many noble girls.
Chu Ye took Nanli to sit down and said, "Ah Li, I am relieved to see that you are so good with them." β
"Big brother, no wonder you have so many rotten peach blossoms." Nan Li glanced at him, "Can't you tell whether people are sincere or fake?" β
Those noble girls came over, obviously wanting to meet Chu Ye, where did they want to talk to her.
Chu Ye was like a fool, he actually felt that they were compatible, and happily told them to take care of his sister.
"Huh? Are they all fake? Then I'll stop talking to them later. Chu Ye said seriously.
Although they said that they had withdrawn from their relatives to the outside world, both the Chu family and the Xiao family knew what the truth was.
He still has a fiancΓ©e, but he can't provoke those rotten peach blossoms.
Concubine Li Guifei sat on the top, dressed luxuriously, and the beaded hairpin jewelry on her hair bun was like a starlight, revealing the royal nobility everywhere.
The ladies looked at her, all with envy and jealousy.
The sons looked at her, all of them were amazed and obsessed.
Because Li Guifei is over 30 years old, she still has delicate skin, white and red, and no wrinkles on her beautiful face, she is a stunning beauty.
