Chapter 153: Marriage (2)
Just the day before Li Siyu's marriage, Ouyang Chengming suddenly said to Cao Xiuling: "You haven't been back to your parents' house for a long time, I have prepared a gift, and today I will accompany you back to see your parents and brothers." ”
Cao Xiuling was flattered, in private, Ouyang Chengming never gave her a good color, but now she said kindly that she wanted to accompany her back to her parents' house, but she was a little uncomfortable. But it's a good thing after all.
On this day in the Hou Mansion, Ouyang Chengming was so good to Cao Xiuling that she had nothing to say, which made Cao Xiuling feel very unreal, she always felt that she was dreaming, for fear that after waking up from the dream, it would disappear.
Because the Hou Mansion was busy preparing for the marriage of the eldest prince of Cao tomorrow, no one greeted them. When Cao Xiuling was catching up with his mother, Ouyang Chengming wandered around the Hou Mansion alone. When the people in the house saw that he was not an outsider, they let him go around, and no one stopped him.
He and Cao Xiuling had dinner before returning to the Hou Mansion.
was about to get married on the second day, and Li Siyu inevitably couldn't sleep, lying in bed thinking about things. Suddenly feeling that someone was in the room, she turned her head and saw Fang Yu. The look of surprise on Li Siyu's face was obvious, because Nangong Mansion was heavily guarded, how did Fang Yu sneak in? Sure enough, he is the number one master in the rivers and lakes.
Fang Yu said: "Don't be surprised, in fact, I have already been discovered. It's just that General Nangong found out that it was me and let me in. ”
Li Siyu said: "Could it be that Brother Nangong is better than you?" ”
Fang Yu said: "It should be comparable!" ”
"Oh!" So powerful! "What's the matter with you coming to me so late?"
Fang Yu took out the small box from his arms, "Come and give you a gift." ”
It turned out that Fang Yu had something to leave tomorrow. couldn't attend Li Siyu's wedding, so he gave the gift to Li Siyu in advance.
Knowing that Fang Yu couldn't attend his wedding, Li Siyu inevitably had some regrets.
She asked Fang Yu how long she was going. Fang Yudao is there something wrong with Jiegumen, and he won't be able to come back for a while.
After sending Fang Yu away, Li Siyu couldn't sleep even more, and she was faintly uneasy in her heart. What happened so that Fang Yu didn't even have time to attend her wedding? She always felt that Fang Yu's departure from Luoyang at this time was weird. Maybe it was an illusion, she always felt that others were deliberately luring Fang Yu away.
Until the fish belly appeared white in the sky, Li Siyu couldn't fall asleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, someone came to dress up Li Siyu.
Today's Li Siyu is exceptionally beautiful, and she is thrillingly beautiful in a red wedding dress. Mrs. Nangong smiled while helping her arrange her skirt: "Xiaoyu is so beautiful today. No, the light rain is beautiful every day. ”
Li Siyu smiled: "Thank you sister for the compliment." ”
At this time, Nangong Hao suddenly ran in, and he looked very hurried. Mrs. Nangong said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" I'm not afraid to scare the light rain. ”
Nangong Hao looked at Li Siyu and stopped talking. Li Siyu knew that he came in in a hurry must have something to do with her, and she said, "Brother Nangong might as well say something directly." It was the first time she had seen Nangong Hao lose his temper like this, so she expected it. Something unusual must have happened.
Nangong Hao Avenue: "You have to be mentally prepared first. ”
Li Siyu had an ominous premonition in his heart. She took a deep breath, "Say it." "She has been feeling uneasy since last night.
Nangong Hao said: "I'm afraid that your relatives won't be able to get married today, I just heard news from my subordinates, saying that Cao Hou rebelled, and the prince has led troops to encircle and suppress Cao Mansion." ”
Li Siyu didn't believe that what she heard was true, she forced her composure and asked, "You mean that the prince has already led troops to encircle and suppress Caofu?" ”
Nangong Hao said: "This matter is true, if you go late, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see Cao An for the last time." ”
It happened too suddenly. How could Cao Hou rebel? And the prince actually led his soldiers to encircle and suppress! Encirclement! She didn't believe it was true! Nangong Hao's sentence that she was too late to go was afraid that she wouldn't even see Cao An's last face, which made her tremble. She immediately threw away the phoenix crown on her head. Running outside, Nangong Hao said to his wife that I would go see her, and immediately chased her out.
The two rode straight to Cao's mansion, and Li Siyu, who was dressed in a wedding dress, rode on a galloping horse in red clothes, with a heroic posture, but if you look closely, you can see tears in the corners of her eyes.
Along the way, she was silently thinking in her heart, the eldest prince must be fine! The eldest prince must not have anything to do! However, the reality is always cruel, and when she ran to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was already surrounded by officers and soldiers. Li Siyu followed Nangong Hao into the Hou Mansion, and after entering the Hou Mansion, a thick smell of blood hit her nose, which made her almost throw up.
The sight was full of corpses and blood, and the corpses belonged to the people of Houfu. Li Siyu was stunned for a few seconds, and then came back to her senses, she immediately went to find the eldest prince, and then she saw the prince holding a sword and pointing at King Heng, and behind King Heng stood Cao Xue, who was trembling.
It turned out that the crown prince was ordered by the emperor to behead the Cao Mansion, Cao Xue belonged to the people of the Cao Mansion, and the prince was about to put her to death, but at this time King Heng rushed over, he saved Cao Xue, and confronted the prince.
Li Siyu immediately ran to Cao Xue's side and asked, "Where is your eldest brother?" She could hear her voice trembling.
Cao Xue fell out of tears as soon as she saw Li Siyu, she didn't speak, just pointed to the side, Li Siyu looked along her fingers, she saw a person in a red groom's dress lying in a pool of blood, obviously that person was Chang'an. Li Siyu sat on the ground with a weak body, and she didn't even dare to walk over to look at Chang'an's body.
No, she didn't want to believe that the person lying in a pool of blood was Cao An. She plucked up the courage to walk over, and when she saw the person's face clearly, she burst into tears, she picked up Cao An with a trembling hand and held his head in her arms, "Son, wake up." I'm Xiaoyu, I'm coming. ”
However, the eldest prince did not react in the slightest. Cao An was killed by an arrow through his heart. He didn't even wait to see Li Siyu for the last time before leaving forever.
Li Siyu worked hard to find a strange stone for Cao An, his heart disease had just improved, Fang Yu said that if he continued, his illness would get better. But now he was killed. His right to life was denied.
When she learned that the strange stone was useful for Cao An's illness, she couldn't mention how happy she was, she fantasized about growing old with him, but the reality was too cruel, Cao An escaped the disease but still did not escape the fate of early death.
With Cao An's death, Li Siyu seemed to be beaten into the abyss of despair, and he couldn't see a trace of light. For the first time, she knew what it meant to be in despair.
The prince once told her that if she dared to marry someone else, he would destroy that person, and now she is married to Cao An, and he really wiped out the Cao family. (To be continued.) )
