Chapter 47: The Marriage Contract
No matter how strong Tula's martial arts were, it was impossible for him to resist 15 Tanglin guards with one person and remain unharmed.
So, Tula ordered the brothers of the Independence Society to save him, and cut a few wounds on his body, the wounds were not deep, and the effect was not bad, bloodstained, and he looked like he had just experienced a vicious battle.
In order to divert focus, Nanashi picked up a dagger and prepared to cut his arm, but was stopped by Tula.
"You have to do enough drama. "Seven Lives.
"You are wounded, and I will be punished when I go back. Tula said with a cold face, which seemed reasonable.
"Hmm~ Of course I know, so this injury is necessary. After that, Qisheng took advantage of Tula's shaking to quickly scratch her arm, and her speed has always been very fast.
In an instant, the blood soaked the white clothes, the torn cuffs drooped, revealing a small piece of pink arm, the wound was very deep, this guy really showed no mercy at all, and the blood fell to the ground along the arm.
Tula frowned, and somehow saw that the little creature was injured, and he felt a little chagrined, even though the wound had been drawn by herself.
It was only half an hour later that the guards discovered that Princess Yu'er was missing.
Their attention has been focused on the prince and a few princes, Yu'er has always been protected by the Beimo guard Tulather, coupled with the crowding of the Shenmu Festival, the lights are dark after nightfall, and a few children finally come out once, they are curious about everything, chattering non-stop, looking east, playing west, excited, and disappearing if they are not careful.
As the prince's secret guards, they can neither disturb the prince's leisure and play, nor let them have any mistakes, which is really a test of their guardianship ability.
I thought that Princess Yu'er was just playful for a while, and she was short and drowned in the crowd, so she could find her whereabouts with a little search, but it wasn't until the guards hiding in the shadows went out and searched the entire street, and they didn't see Princess Yu'er, that the commander of the dark guard realized that something was wrong.
You must know that Princess Yu'er is the heart of the West Palace, and there is no room for any mistakes, if the princess can't be found tonight, none of them want to go back alive.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the night sky, and the unknown people still thought it was fireworks and screamed excitedly.
Brushing and brushing, the dark guards got the signal and quickly rushed to the place of the incident, which was the distress signal of the Dongchen dark guards.
When they arrived in the dense forest on the outskirts of the east gate of Haotian City, Tula was covered in injuries and hugged the unconscious Princess Yu'er, and dozens of corpses were lying in the forest.
Considering Qisheng's clumsy acting skills, Tula knocked Qisheng unconscious so as not to reveal his flaws.
On the day of the Shenmu Festival, someone saw the Xianmen saint without a mirror ruin traveling to the vicinity of Haotian City, and Chu Qi immediately ordered someone to greet him, and he must invite the saint to the palace.
Xigong has been seriously ill for many years, Chu Qi attaches great importance to filial piety, and within a year of ascending the throne, dozens of invitations were sent to Wujingxu, hoping that the sage of Xianmen could cure the stubborn disease for Xigong.
Now that I finally looked forward to it, I was happy in my heart, and I was in a good mood, and I just wanted to go to the West Palace to report the good news to the Queen Mother, but a eunuch came in a hurry, saying that Princess Yu'er was assassinated and injured.
The West Palace can't be hidden no matter what, today is the Shenmu Festival, according to the etiquette of the seven lives to return to the palace at the time of the Chen, and the West Palace to keep vigil and pray for blessings.
Xigong didn't agree with Yu'er to leave the palace, you must know that the Shenmu Festival in Haotian City is held very grand every year, and whether it is the princes and nobles or the poor people will participate, the people of the entire Haotian City are crowded together, and it is just a matter of losing some property in case of a petty thief, if you accidentally get hurt or bump into it, how can it be good.
It can be seen that Chu Feng has been begging hard, and heard that a few children who accompany him are also going to go together, but leaving Yu'er to accompany her old bone is also lonely, so he agreed to go with her, and told them to take care of Yu'er, and now that several children go out together, Dudu Yu'er came back from injury, and her tears fell straight down when she was distressed.
"Don't worry too much about the queen mother, the doctor has already seen it, saying that it is only a skin injury, and she is frightened, so she will be so sleepy, and she will wake up tomorrow. Seeing that Xigong was worriedly guarding in front of Yu'er's bed, Chu Qi said with relief.
When Yu'er disappeared, Chu Feng and the three children were watching juggling, staring curiously, and after watching the juggling, they turned their heads and found that Yu'er was gone, and they couldn't find it for a long time, which scared several children into losing their souls.
Later, when he heard that Yu'er was injured in an assassination and fell unconscious, Chu Feng's expression was even more ugly than crying, and he rushed back to the palace and went straight to the princess's palace, but he happened to meet his father who came over, Chu Qi was very angry and punished him to copy the book.
"If your sister Ning knew that Yu'er had made a mistake with me, I don't know what kind of distress she would become. She loves Yu'er the most, otherwise she wouldn't have been married to Beimo for so long, and she wrote to me for such a thing. Looking at Yu'er's pale face, Xigong silently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"......" Chu Qi frowned, mentioning the deceased Chu Ning, he felt a little more guilty in his heart.
Xigong wiped away his tears, took Chu Qi's hand and said, "Qi'er, the queen mother begs you." ”
As soon as Chu Qi heard this, he immediately knelt in front of the West Palace: "Don't say that, Queen Mother...... There is anything, just as it is told. ”
"The queen mother is old, and it is impossible to guard Yu'er for the rest of her life. I was sorry for Ning'er back then, and now she entrusts Yu'er to me, and she is also giving me a chance to atone for my sins. Thinking of the events of that year, the old man of Xigong burst into tears.
"Yu'er and Feng'er have a marriage contract, and they agreed to get married after the age of 16. But the world is unpredictable, I know you have a lot of expectations for Feng'er, but Yu'er is young and pure, if I go, she will be like duckweed in this palace and have nothing to rely on. The deceit and scheming of this emperor's family, how can she be a female doll who can bear it. ”
"There are three thousand beauties in this harem, and there are as many new and old looks as there are, and there is as much resentment and jealousy...... I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I really can't bear to suffer like me in the future, so you should not count this marriage contract. ”
Chu Qi was stunned, but he didn't expect Xigong to want to invalidate the marriage contract between Yu'er and Feng'er!
But think about it again, it seems that Xigong really put Yu'er on the tip of his heart.
"When Yu'er becomes an adult, choose a family among the famous nobles, if you want the clan to be harmonious, it doesn't hurt if the people are thin, the lintel mansion, what official position the ancestors are qualified for, as long as that person is upright, truly loves Yu'er, and vows not to accept concubines, he will marry Yu'er. Nishinomiya wept as she stroked Yu'er's cheek, tears dripping down her hands.
What Xigong has seen the most in this life is the indifference and helplessness of being a royal family, where is there anything in this world for no reason, glory and wealth, power and status, every point you have, you have to pay a price!
For example, she was beheaded by her closest relatives, separated her flesh and blood, and even poisoned her former beloved with her own hands...... For the sake of the powerless, she tried her best all her life, but it turned out to be the most useless thing.
Now she only hopes that Yu'er will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"If possible, I also want to personally watch Yu'er get married in the scenery of the clouds, but I'm afraid of ...... cough cough cough cough ......" Xigong breathed badly, coughing heavily, and a trace of black blood in the silk pali was eye-catching.
"Queen Mother, come here, Doctor Xuan's ......" Chu Qi was already in tears, and Xigong ordered this, as if he was saying his last words.
"You promise me...... I must find a good family for Yu'er. Even if he coughed like this, Xigong still remembered Yu'er's marriage.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Yu'er and never let you worry. Chu Qi said.
"That's good~ That's good...... cough cough cough ......"
