Chapter 41: Su Yao stands in the way
In the imperial city, the lights are colorful.
The people raised their heads and cheered for me and Linghu Rongji, and the black dragon slowed down so that Rongji and I could accept the blessings of the people of the Imperial City. The most prosperous section of the moat, submerged in a blessing, happy, this is still the Celestial Empire that I am familiar with?
"In the eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire, you have always been a feared and cold-faced highness! When did they love you so much?" I am not very confused, after all, I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I only have a partial understanding of the outside world.
Linghu Rongji looked at the jubilant people on the ground, and his eyebrows stretched, "It's probably since I fell in love with you that I thought about doing something practical for the people of the Celestial Empire, because I didn't want you to follow me and be insulted by all the people." ”
I thought he would say that he was the crown prince of the Celestial Empire, and he already had these responsibilities on his shoulders, but I didn't expect that everything he did was because of me.
The black dragon tilted his head and added, "Your Highness cares about the common people, and has repeatedly risked his life to save the people, which can be said to be the admiration of all the people in exchange for fighting for his life. ”
"Is it so dangerous?" my heart was also tightened by the black dragon's words, I didn't know any of his movements in the past three years, I thought that he was as smooth as ever, I didn't think that he had also gone through so many tribulations.
Linghu Rongji put his arms around my waist, rested his chin on my shoulder, and blew on my cheek, "It's all over." ”
As soon as the black dragon talked about Linghu Rongji's experience over the years, he was a little gushing.
His eyes lit up, and his eyebrows fluttered as he tilted his head sideways.
"Three years ago, after months of torrential rains, thousands of people were displaced. In order to save dozens of Taoist priests trapped on the mountainside, His Royal Highness braved the torrential rain to bring them back safely from the mountainside, but he himself suffered from malaria because he had been soaked in the flood for too long. ”
......
The black dragon chattered, but I felt more and more guilty. The floods of three years ago were not natural disasters, but man-made disasters, and I was the culprit. If I hadn't had the will to be depressed for a few months, those innocent beings would not have died in vain, and Fox Rongji would not have suffered a misfortune for no reason.
"Brother Rongji, how can you be so ruthless!"
Suddenly, there was a very sudden roar in the crowd, and Rong Ji and I looked down together. In the crowd, Su Yao, who was in a trance, was like duckweed with the waves, being squeezed around, but her bloodshot eyes were always locked on Ling Fox.
I frowned slightly, not wanting my good days to be ruined by her. But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and a nameless demon wind came towards me and Linghu Rongji. Although the black dragon seemed to be at ease in the face of the small demon wind, Linghu Rongji and I both fell because of our negligence.
Fortunately, Linghu Rongji did not let go of the hands holding me, and we landed smoothly and unscathed, just messing up our clothes.
Su Yao happened to be standing in front of me, her face was haggard and pale, but the madness in her bones only increased.
"Hahaha, and song, I pity you!"
She pointed at my nose and burst into laughter.
I smiled faintly, "What pity me? Pity me for stealing your position as the crown princess?"
"Pity you for being slaughtered in the same family, and treating the enemy as a husband!" Su Yao tilted her head and smiled stupidly, describing herself as crazy.
Linghu Rongji's face was cold, and a palm wind flew away, Su Yao flexibly dodged, grabbed my arm, and hid behind me, "Brother Rongji, it wasn't you who instructed me to pretend to be you and kill all the Taoist priests who left the country?
I lifted my hand slightly and kept a distance from Su Yao.
"Linghu Rongji, is what Su Yao said true?" I looked at Linghu Rongji seriously, trying my best to search for the strangeness on his face.
Linghu Rongji pulled me behind me again, pinched Su Yao's neck with one hand, and said coldly, "Nonsense!"
"Heh! Brother Rongji, how dare you do it and dare not admit it? You obviously want to destroy everything you leave because you hate the former prince Linghu Rongque. Su Yao's face turned red when she was pinched by Rong Ji's neck, but she still said intermittently, "Didn't you say that you only wanted to use her from beginning to end, and you didn't have her in your heart at all, and you pretended not to have received the letters she wrote to you in the past three years?"
Su Yao mentioned those letters that I sent out but fell into the sea, my pupils shrank, all this, is it just Su Yao's nonsense?
"Where's the letter?" I put my hand on Linghu Rongji's hand, trying to break his hand that was clasping Su Yao's neck.
But Ling Hu Rongji's face became more and more cold, and he broke Su Yao's neck with a click in his hand. He wiped his palms with a handkerchief, and indifferently watched Su Yao fall to the ground softly.
"Why don't you let her finish her sentence?" I actually had doubts about Ling Hu Rongji in my heart.
Linghu Rongji pressed his hands on my shoulders, "I'm just afraid that if she delays any longer, we will miss the auspicious time." You believe me, she's just making something out of nothing. ”
I pursed my lips and nodded slightly, and finally entered the palace with Linghu Rongji.
Su Yao, who temporarily abandoned the halfway kill, although I didn't have much doubt in my heart, I didn't show my voice. Linghu Rongji didn't seem to be disturbed by Su Yao, and his face was full of joy when he stepped into the hall. His big hand was interlocked with mine, and I could see that he was a little nervous, and his palms were soaked in a layer of cold sweat.
"Worship heaven and earth. The chief eunuch in a dark red court robe shouted loudly, and his voice penetrated the entire hall.
The ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the emperor and queen who were sitting in the palace, were all happy. I have never experienced this kind of scene, I was stunned and didn't know what to do, I just followed the movements of Rong Ji and drew the scoop according to the gourd.
"Two worship high halls. ”
Linghu Rongji and I turned around together, and through the red gauze curtain covering my head, I saw the relief on the faces of the emperor and the queen. The queen has never liked me, why is she so abnormal today, and she can still smile?
"Three worship husband and wife. ”
I faced Linghu Rongji, tilted my head slightly, and looked at him who was handsome and handsome, and my heart seemed to be filled with love. When the chief eunuch announced the ceremony with joy, Rong Ji carefully lifted the curtain on my head and kissed me on the lips. My face was flushed, and in front of so many people, I was like a woman who had not been deeply involved in the world.
"Ahem, what are you all doing? Why don't you hurry up and take the crown princess to the East Palace!" the queen took the lead in speaking, so that Hu Rongji was slightly restrained, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs were not so embarrassed. After all, most ministers stick to the old tradition and do not allow such an outrageous move.
I was surrounded by a group of palace maids and taken down. The chasing wind brushed the corners of my skirt like the wind, and rushed towards Linghu Rongji. I glanced back, chasing the wind with an urgent face, which made the fox look solemn, and my heart skipped a beat for no reason, always feeling that something had happened.
