Volume 3 The Ruins of the Shadow Chapter 178 The Wedding
"Chu Tinglan ......"
When she saw the man still standing intact in front of her, the boulder hanging in Mu Bei's heart fell quietly, and she realized what a disrespectful act she had made to trespass into the ancient Qin Palace.
"Chu Aiqing, who is this woman who broke into the palace?"
In the main hall, on the high throne, a middle-aged man in a dark robe narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked Chu Tinglan with a smile on his face.
"This ......" Chu Tinglan's expression was solemn, and he immediately knelt down and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, this woman is a close friend of her subordinates, a country woman, she doesn't understand the rules of the court, she must be looking for her ministers, and she broke into the palace gate by mistake for a while, and asked the king to forgive her sins." ”
"Oh?" King Gu Qin looked deeply at the white-clothed girl standing in the main hall for a while, and glanced at Chu Tinglan, who fell to the ground, with some subtlety.
"Since he is Chu Aiqing's friend, then the king is not to blame, Chu Aiqing's contribution to Gu Qin, this king sees it in his eyes, if there is nothing to do, after the next court meeting, come to this king to chat, this king has something to say to Chu Aiqing and the national teacher."
"Thank you, the King's grace!" Chu Tinglan saluted again.
After the next court meeting, Mu Bei and Chu Tinglan walked out of the hall and came to a no-man's land on the side, Chu Tinglan looked at the white-clothed girl in front of him a little strangely, and said softly: "Abei, didn't you say that you were going to go out today?" How can you trespass on the royal palace, do you know how dangerous it is to do so? ”
Mu Bei didn't care about his words, Ah Bei's title made her recall a lot of things again, her red eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "Chu...... Listen, where are you going now? ”
"Huh? Just now, the king said that he had something to discuss with me and the national teacher, so I naturally want to go to the king now. Although I felt that Abei was a little strange today, Chu Tinglan had long been accustomed to Abei's mysterious and cold personality, and said casually.
Subconsciously, feeling that the ancient Qin king would have a plot against Chu Tinglan, Mu Bei raised his eyes, looked into Chu Tinglan's eyes, and said word by word: "I'll go with you." ”
"No!" Chu Tinglan categorically refused, and he said with an embarrassed face: "The king has forgiven you for your act of breaking into the palace just now, but if you enter the king's chamber without a summons, it will definitely cause the king to be dissatisfied." ”
"Chu Tinglan." Mu Bei looked at him and muttered, "You are in danger now, and your king is likely to plan against you." ”
"How is that possible?" Chu Tinglan showed a slightly angry look at Mu Bei for the first time, and he said seriously: "Ah Bei, I, Chu Tinglan, have been loyal to Gu Qin and the king all my life, you and I have known each other for a long time, how have you ever seen me disagree with the king?" ”
"But ......"
"Abei, don't worry, I'll be fine, I trust the king." He gently stroked Shang Mubei's fair cheeks and brushed away her frowning eyebrows.
"Anyway, I have to follow you, I don't go in, I can wait outside."
Seeing his beloved woman so stubbornly insisting, Chu Tinglan was a little helpless, he hesitated again and again, and finally nodded.
The red sun hung high, and in the shadows under the palace wall, Mu Bei stood there calmly, staring at the closed door in the distance, Chu Tinglan had been in for a long time, but she didn't notice anything wrong.
There was no red moon reaction in the perception, Mu Bei tried to recall everything in the past, from her memory, this day was the day she left, that is, on this day, Chu Tinglan was accused of being a traitor and ran away for thousands of miles.
All, if Chu Tinglan will be eroded by the energy of the red moon and turned into a red demon, there will be clues today.
Most likely, it was this secret conversation.
Mu Bei had already decided in her heart that once she realized that something was wrong, she would definitely rush in as soon as possible and take Chu Tinglan away.
But until now, nothing unusual has appeared in the house.
After a while, the door, in Mu Bei's anxious waiting, opened.
The man in the golden armor walked out, Chu Tinglan's expression looked a little heavy, but the aura on his body did not show any abnormality, Mu Bei was slightly stunned, watching him slowly approach him.
"Abei? What are you in a daze? Let's go. Chu Tinglan patted her shoulder, pulled her arm, and walked towards the palace gate.
"How could you ......" Mu Bei came back to his senses and asked subconsciously.
"I've said it all, I'm sure I'll be fine." Chu Tinglan looked at her with some amusement, but his heart moved slightly, he had never seen Abei so worried and concerned about his own safety in the past.
Don't......
Is there hope for yourself......
"What did you all talk about?" Mu Bei asked directly.
Originally, Chu Tinglan shouldn't have said this kind of thing, but for Ah Bei, he felt that there was no need to hide it, so he said in a low voice: "The king summoned me to discuss the matter of the crown prince and the emperor. ”
"Gu Qin ruled the world, and it was only a matter of time before the king said that the emperor was bound to win, but about the crown prince, the king has always favored the second son, and the eldest son is far away in Saibei, I am worried that there will be any accidents." Chu Tinglan sighed lightly.
"However, this has nothing to do with me, I am only loyal to Gu Qin and the king."
"Abei."
"Do you remember what you promised me?" Chu Tinglan suddenly paused and looked back at the girl.
"What?" Mu Bei was slightly stunned.
"This world, peaceful and prosperous, this is the wish you told me when you and I first met, and we made an agreement with each other." Chu Tinglan's gaze suddenly became warm.
"You promised me that when I realize your wish and your future, let me plan for you."
"Do you remember this agreement?"
“……”
The man's soft words made the girl's heart tremble slightly, and her red eyes became complicated, and she murmured, "Naturally...... Remember. ”
Chu Tinglan gently cupped the girl's cheeks, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Ah Bei, marry me, okay?" ”
Marry?
This word is so unfamiliar to her.
Mu Bei stood in place, but Chu Tinglan thought that the girl was silent shyly, he took Mu Bei's palm and walked towards the General's Mansion.
On the way back, Mu Bei didn't say a word, but Chu Tinglan subconsciously thought that the girl had acquiesced in his marriage proposal, and Ah Bei's cold temperament was unwilling to say anything agreeable, but since he didn't refuse, he must still be willing in his heart.
Back in the General's Mansion, Mu Bei returned to the room alone, she sat calmly at the table, looking at the bronze mirror in front of her, looking at herself in the mirror, but her mind was chaotic.
Outside, Chu Tinglan explained intentionally or unintentionally, the people in the general's mansion all knew that the general and the Abei girl were about to get married, but they knew how much the general cared about the Abei girl, and they were envious in their hearts, and they were also busy with the wedding.
The nearest auspicious day of the zodiac is exactly three days later, and it is also the day when the ancient Qin king became emperor.
On the evening of the first day, Chu Tinglan wanted to talk to Mu Bei about their marriage, but Mu Bei didn't see him, Chu Tinglan stood in the courtyard outside the window, silently staring at the shadow behind the window paper, his eyes were soft, he stood for a long time and left quietly.
passed this day peacefully, there were no changes, the red devil did not appear, the former traitor did not appear, and then the ancient Qin king became the emperor, and ......
Marriage.
Mu Bei's eyes were even more confused, why, why was it completely different from everything in her memory?
What's going on with all this?
Anxiety, restlessness, and confusion made the girl's heart feel like a mess, and she always felt that there was a layer of fog in front of her, blocking her vision, making it impossible for her to see the truth under the fog.
But she couldn't get rid of the fog.
On the second day, the maid who was in charge of grooming Mu Bei seemed to have discovered that Mu Bei's mood was wrong, and she told Chu Tinglan, which made Chu Tinglan a little more worried, but thinking of the upcoming wedding, he forcibly resisted the impulse in his heart.
Once the wedding is successfully over, no matter what problems Abei has, he will give everything to solve it for her.
Now, he doesn't want anything to go wrong with the wedding.
As long as you can marry Abei......
Chu Tinglan showed a warm smile.
On the third day, the entire Yangdu City, as if caught in the sea of carnival, at noon, in the center of the Yangdu City, the palace, no, in front of the palace, stands a towering sacrificial roof, where the ancient Qin emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed the emperor, announcing the ancient Qin Empire's right to belong to the world.
As the ancient Qin military god, Chu Tinglan also enjoys high praise and has also been congratulated by many powerful people, because tonight, he will marry the most beloved woman in this life.
In the general's mansion, Mu Bei sat calmly at the wooden table, let the maid dress her up, put on a fiery red wedding dress, the girl's fair face was lined with a red wedding dress, but her eyes were more confused.
What is true?
What is Fake?
Is everything she has experienced in her memory, the people she has met, real, or a dream?!
The girl stretched out her palm and looked at her white and tender five fingers, her eyes full of confusion.
She, is she Mu Bei, or Ah Bei?
On that day, choosing to go to a distant place or choosing to go to the palace, are they two completely different endings? Why? Could it be that this is the end that my heart really desires?
If all this is true, then ...... Does she really want to accept Chu Tinglan?
Once upon a time, she also longed to be cared for, loved, and cared for...... And Chu Tinglan, the person who appeared beside her and gave her these things when she was in the most pain.
However, if everything in the memory is false, why can't I feel the slightest joy when I am about to get these things I have always dreamed of......
In the evening, the guests in the palace of General Chu were like clouds, lively and extraordinary, red lanterns were hung everywhere, and the words were pasted with happy words, the ancient Qin Emperor came to congratulate in micro-clothes, sat on the high hall, looked at Chu Tinglan in a wedding dress, and said with a smile: "Chu Aiqing, the auspicious time has come." ”
Chu Tinglan's face was full of red light, and he was extremely happy, and he said to the emperor: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister has asked people to invite the minister's wife." ”
"Madam, it's time to go to church."
In the side room, the maid said to the girl dressed in red.
Mu Bei didn't seem to hear it, and it wasn't until the maid walked up to her and put on the veil for her that she slowly came back to her senses, looked at the maid through the veil with reddish eyes, and said softly, "I know." ”
Dragging the fiery red skirt and walking in the corridor full of lanterns, the guests noticed her figure and cheered like a cheer, and words of blessing and laughter came and went.
But the reddish pupils under the girl's veil are getting deeper and deeper.
"The bride has arrived!"
Hearing the shouts behind him, Chu Tinglan turned around in surprise and looked at the woman in red walking slowly towards him, as if in a dream, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he suddenly greeted him.
Mu Bei walked in front of Chu Tinglan, looking at the man who was also dressed in a red wedding dress, and the excited look on his face, she gently stretched out her arms and hugged Chu Tinglan's body tightly under the gaze of everyone.
