Chapter Ninety-Four: Departure
The days passed day by day, and finally, it was the day when Mu Ranyue got married.
The sun is shining, Mu Ranyue is wearing a phoenix crown, the long steps are interspersed with it, fluttering and swaying, a red wedding dress is as gorgeous as blood, and the skirt is long and dragged behind her, reflecting the sunlight, dazzling.
Surrounded by all the servants and maids, she walked into the palace gate step by step, and Mu Xuanche had already led the ministers to wait in the main hall of the clan.
She knelt down slowly and said goodbye to Mu Xuanche.
Mu Xuanche picked her up with his own hands and sighed: "Changning, this time, the mountains and rivers are far away, and Wangqing cherishes it." ”
"Yes, thank you for your concern." Mu Ranyue replied with a dignified expression.
Mu Xuanche told again: "If you marry into the Yun Kingdom, you will be the princess of the Yun Kingdom, but I hope you don't forget that you are the eldest princess of my Chu Kingdom, and you have the blood of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom flowing in your body." ”
Mu Ranyue's eyes flashed with grief and indignation, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, my sister remembers the teachings of the imperial brother." ”
Immediately, Qin Tianjian shouted: "The hour has come, please get the eldest princess in the car." ”
The ministers shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Mu Ranyue paused, looked back at the Chu Palace, pain flashed in her eyes, and then resolutely boarded the carriage.
The carriage with her, in addition to Yunsheng, there was also a maid who was as beautiful as a flower but had a cold expression.
The send-off procession left Nanling in a mighty way, and then headed in the direction of westbound.
When twilight fell, Nangong Jinchen sat alone at the small table in the courtyard, pouring himself a drink.
The stars are like pearls, inlaid under the canopy, shining brightly.
Nangong Jinchen drank all the wine in the wine glass, and the lonely figure was reflected in the starlight, extremely gloomy.
Since he was separated from Mu Ranyue, his heart was missing a piece and empty.
Today is the day of dyeing and getting married, and at this time, she should have arrived in Suiyang.
Nangong Jinchen looked up at the brightest star in the night sky, as if he had seen her, excitement and anticipation appeared in his eyes, in another month, she would be able to come to him, and after that, he would not let them have another chance to separate.
In a hazy moment, he saw her in front of him, and her figure became clearer and clearer.
He was overjoyed, and reached over to embrace her, but she smiled farther and farther away from him, and he was startled and chased after her, and she had disappeared before his eyes.
"Dye—"
He exclaimed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" A woman seemed to call to him from his side, and he jerked his head up and opened his eyes.
But he saw that he was still in this courtyard, with wine and glasses on the table.
It turned out that everything was just a dream, and he was stunned in his heart.
"Dye, even in your dreams, don't you want to see me?" He looked down and smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
Suddenly, a woman's delicate voice rang in her ears.
Nangong Jinchen realized that he had an extra cloak on his body at some point, and when he looked back, he saw a bright woman in green standing beside him with a smile.
He frowned, "Who are you?" ”
The woman said: "Back to Your Highness, Youyue is a concubine given to you by Your Majesty." ”
"Concubine?"
How did he not know?
"When did you come?"
Youyue said calmly: "Back to Your Highness, Youyue is here today, Your Highness, you went out, and the housekeeper Chang saw that the slave maid was given by His Majesty, so he let the slave and maid come in first to live." ”
A cold light flashed in Nangong Jinchen's eyes, "Someone is coming." ”
Immediately, a small servant came over, "What does Your Highness command?" ”
"Xuan Changxi came here."
After a while, Chang Xi came, and the cold around him made him shiver.
Seeing Nangong Jinchen's cold face again, his heart trembled, but he shouldn't have done anything wrong.
"The servant knocks to His Highness." Chang Xi knelt down and bowed.
Nangong Jinchen pointed at Youyue, "You put her in?" ”
Chang Xi was surprised, His Royal Highness was actually because of this, he hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, Mrs. Yue is a concubine given by Your Majesty, and the slave saw that His Highness was not in the house, so he accepted it." ”
"Good." Nangong Jinchen sneered, "In that case, you can get out with her." ”
"Your Highness?" Youyue's face suddenly turned pale, and she knelt down and said, "I don't know what the slave and maid did wrong, His Royal Highness actually wants to drive the slave and maid out of the house, but the slave and maid are ......"
Before he finished speaking, Nangong Jinchen interrupted: "Han Sheng, throw it out." ”
Han Sheng immediately responded and ordered someone to throw the two people who were kneeling on the ground out.
Chang Xi seemed to have only reacted now, and cried out in fright: "Your Highness, Your Highness spared the minions, the minions know that they are wrong, Your Highness ......"
Nangong Jinchen turned a deaf ear and poured a glass of wine to herself.
This slave was originally sent in by the palace, although he was named the housekeeper of the palace, but he did not have any real power, and he never thought that he had no self-knowledge at all, and dared to release people in his mansion at will.
Nangong Yue Peng stuffed people in his mansion, just to answer him, but he thought that he would really accept him because he was the emperor?
When everything was quiet, Nangong Jinchen opened his mouth and asked, "Over there, everything is arranged?" ”
Han Sheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted to what he was referring to, and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, in addition to those who followed the princess before, Liluo has transferred some people over, and the princess will definitely arrive in Hengyang safely." ”
Nangong Jinchen nodded, and instructed uneasily: "There must be no mistakes." ”
"Yes."
In the same starry sky, in different places, Mu Ranyue leaned alone in front of the window, her eyes were calm like water, but there was a heavy pain in her eyes.
The candlelight is faint, and her figure is cast on the wall, lonely and desolate.
"Your Highness, it's not early, please rest early." The maid persuaded beside her, but this person was not Yunsheng, but Mu Xuanche gave it to her, and her name was Qiandai.
She was born with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she looked like a moon, but she always had a sense of arrogance on her body, and her posture was also elegant and dignified, not like a maid who served people, but more like a young lady.
Mu Ranyue looked outside, the stars were fading, and the night was dark, she got up and said lightly: "You can also go and rest." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid will go after serving His Highness and sleeping."
Mu Ranyue walked a few steps, then stopped and asked, "Where is Yunsheng?" ”
"The slave maid just saw her go back to the room, and thought that she had already rested." Qian Dai replied.
Mu Ranyue nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Your Highness, this is the medicine for these two months." Qian Dai suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and said.
Mu Ranyue looked at her in surprise, "Why give it to me now?" ”
Qian Dai said lightly: "Your Majesty said that your mission will start in two months. ”
Mu Ranyue suddenly, sneered, took the medicine in Qiandai's hand, and said no more.
After washing, Mu Ranyue extinguished the candlelight, and the room suddenly became dark.
Mu Ranyue was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep.
She opened her eyes, and her mind was clear.
Mu Xuanche's words echoed in his ears again.
"Yue'er, Ye Zichen has lost you, for my brother, I will give you a chance to take revenge now."
"You marry Yunguo, I want you to deliver the news of Yunguo for me."
How did she answer at the time, oh, she was hysterically opposed, she said she couldn't do it, she didn't want to be a small worker.
And her good royal brother actually poured a month of cold on her, she always knew that Mu Xuanche was ambitious, and she also knew that he was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but she didn't know that he could be ruthless to this point.
"Brother Huang thinks that the courtiers will be afraid of death?"
"As a descendant of the Mu family, of course the imperial sister will not be a greedy person who is afraid of death. However, if the imperial sister can endure the pain of the cold in January, then the brother will naturally not force you. ”
"The royal sister grew up in Murong Villa. I think I also know something about this poison, and in addition to making people miserable, this moon cold also has an effect that the world does not know. ”
"What?"
"Since the royal sister is curious, it doesn't hurt to tell you. In fact, the cold of January does not make people die, it only makes people erode people's minds when the pain is extreme, making people crazy and bloodthirsty. Because January Cool is essentially made of Gu worms. ”
Thinking of this, Mu Ranyue laughed at herself, the favor and protection of her father and uncle made her almost forget the sinister world, and even more forgotten what is the most ruthless emperor's family.
Even if he is a Taoist monarch like his father, he is ruthless and ruthless in the court.
And that Qiandai was specially placed by Mu Xuanche's side, monitoring her every move, and even handed over the antidote to January Liang in her hands, if she dared to kill her, then she herself would die without a place to be buried.
She remembered that she had not hesitated to give her only Soul Returning Pill to Ye Zichen, and in the days when she was unconscious, Murong He fed her the only remaining Soul Returning Pill in order to wake her up.
And she didn't want to go to Murong He, because Murong He also tried to refine the antidote to January Liang, but she failed many times, and although the Soul Returning Pill could be solved, it would take ten years to refine one, and by then, she would no longer be her. Telling Murong He is just adding to his sadness.
Therefore, now except for the antidote in Qian Dai's hand, there is no way to solve the poison on her body at all.
And she can only be at the mercy of Mu Xuanche and become his eyeliner in Yunguo.
Thinking that his future life would be controlled by others, Mu Ran Yue's sorrow came from it, and before he knew it, the pillow was half wet.
"Ye Zichen." She whispered, "I can now feel your feelings." ”
Her voice gradually choked: "I heard that when you died, your demeanor was still calm, even Ling Chi's suffering didn't make you shed a single tear, at that time, do you think that death is also a relief, you don't have to be controlled by others anymore, you don't have to do those shady things?" ”
In the blur of tears, it seemed that Ye Zichen affectionately called her to "dye", she suddenly hated, why did she devote herself to this troubled era, not an era of peaceful reunification? Why was she born into a royal family and not an ordinary family? If so, they should be able to know each other for the rest of their lives.
She covered the quilt and gradually cried, she had to admit that she missed him very much, really wanted to.
Even if he deceived her, even if he was meticulous, even if she hated him to the core, in the deepest part of her heart, she still hoped that he was still alive in the world.
