The big day.
Zhuangwang's mansion is full of lights, and the big red happy words are everywhere.
The most talked about thing in the capital today is that the second son of the current emperor, King Zhuang, married the prime minister's two daughters, sharing the blessings of the Qi people, I heard that although these two daughters are not from the same mother, but they are all beauties, and the men in the capital only have envy.
But in the main hall of King Zhuang's mansion, a solemn atmosphere is spreading.
The guests had arrived, and the auspicious time had arrived, but there was still one missing.
Huo Chen was dressed in a red groom's dress, and his appearance was extremely handsome, but at this time, his lips were pursed, and there was a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows, he looked at the red carpet extending out of the inner hall, and his heart couldn't calm down.
The prime minister's two thousand gold wood Yirou was wearing a pink wedding dress, and even the hijab was pink, all of which signaled that she was not a concubine, and she was also waiting on the side.
And the person who is missing is Concubine Mu Wanqing, when she went to pick up the bride, there was no one in the boudoir.
Prime Minister Mu Qizhi frowned, he was very worried, and he had already sent someone to find him, but there was no news for a long time.
Suddenly, a person quickly walked into the inner hall and knelt down: "Report to the prince!" Find a brocade bag in front of the palace! ”
"Bring it in!" Huo Chen waved his hand.
The guard carried the bag in, about half a man tall, and it seemed to contain a man.
Mu Qizhi immediately said: "Open it quickly, it's likely to be Qing'er!" ”
The guards received the order and opened the brocade bag, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
The guests were amazed and whispered for a while. Even the Queen Mother couldn't help but stand up and looked at the brocade bag in shock.
Huo Chen's face was pale, and his dark eyes had already brewed a storm, trying his best to hold back the trembling.
I saw Mu Wanqing's hair spreading, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her whole body trembled and grabbed a red dress to cover the spring light in front of her, and there were still dried blood stains between her legs, which was obvious that she had just done something unscrupulous. She looked around in a panic, felt embarrassed and embarrassed, and when she saw Mu Qizhi, she shouted hoarsely: "Daddy......"
There was a lot of discussion around, and they all looked at Mu Wanqing with disdain.
Mu Wanqing saw that Mu Qizhi ignored herself, and was about to speak again, but someone slapped her hard.
That momentum made her head turn away, her face hurt hotly, her ears roared, she raised her head in shock, only to see that Huo Chen's hand was still in the air, and her tight lips were trembling.
It was her husband, and she was out of line before marriage.
Mu Wanqing felt that her world had collapsed in an instant, and all thoughts were lost.
"You. Woman! Huo Chen roared and waved his sleeves, "Unrelated people don't retreat yet!" ”
The guests looked at Huo Chen's angry appearance, did not dare to linger any longer, and hurriedly withdrew from the inner hall, but soon, everyone in the capital knew that Princess Zhuang was taken captive before marriage, and King Zhuang wore a green hat.
At this time, above the inner hall, Mu Wanqing's mother Lu Xinmei couldn't stand the blow and fainted, and her son Mu Zhixu supported Lu Xinmei, anxious.
"How could it happen...... Queen Mother didn't want to continue, and sat back in her chair, with a splitting headache.
Mu Yirou had already removed the hijab, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she actually had a trace of happiness in her heart.
"Queen Mother, Qing'er doesn't know anything, at that time, Qing'er just finished her makeup, and she was kidnapped, Qing'er really doesn't know anything......" Mu Wanqing sobbed, looking like a pear blossom with rain, which made people can't help but feel pity.
"And who took you captive?" The Queen Mother frowned and said, the princess is not complete, and if it is passed out, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the world.
Mu Wanqing could only keep shaking her head: "Qing'er doesn't know, that person is masked, Qing'er is held down by him and can't see anything." ”
"Grandma Huang." Huo Chen turned around and no longer looked at Mu Wanqing, "Grandson now asks for an order to demote Mu Wanqing to a ninth-class concubine." ”
Her face turned pale as snow for a moment, a ninth-rank concubine? That's like a maid, just a tool to warm the bed!
"Chen'er, what did you say?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but be stunned, their marriage was given by the emperor himself.
"Grandma Huang, this is about the face of the royal family, not to mention that Mu Wanqing has committed seven rules, such a punishment is not exaggerated." Huo Chen calmed down, his voice was cold, since it had happened, he had to turn the tide.
The Queen Mother looked at Huo Chen in embarrassment, and then at Mu Wanqing, it was difficult to make a decision, she had always loved Mu Wanqing, how could she bear to demote Mu Wanqing to a concubine.
"Queen Mother, Qing'er doesn't want to be a concubine, Qing'er doesn't want to!" Mu Wanqing glanced at the cold smile on the corner of Mu Yirou's mouth, she hurriedly moved to Mu Qizhi's side, and grabbed Mu Qizhi's shirt, "Daddy, please intercede for your daughter, my daughter doesn't want to be a concubine......"
Mu Qizhi was very sad in his heart, his most beloved daughter would be so embarrassed, so how would he gain a foothold in the court in the future, he waved away Mu Wanqing's hand and said, "I don't have a daughter like you!" ”
"Daddy!" Mu Gongxu couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that his father would treat his sister like this.
Mu Wanqing cried even harder, and her tears fell to the ground like pearls with broken threads.
"The Queen Mother, my sister is also innocent, the masked person**, my sister must be very sad in her heart, although this matter is about the face of the royal family, but please open the Queen Mother." Mu Yirou knelt down with a sincere expression.
"Shut up! I don't need you to intercede! Mu Wanqing glared at Mu Yirou.
Huo Chen's face was expressionless, and he slapped Mu Wanqing again: "It's you who should shut up." ”
Mu Wanqing's whole body trembled, she didn't expect him to slap herself twice, her heart was empty, it was a taste that was even more uncomfortable than sadness. Looking at her father again, she didn't look at her again, nor did she have any expression of pity, Mu Wanqing was out of breath in pain, as if there was a mirror in her heart, and after being hit hard, after the deafening loud noise, there were countless small cracking sounds, which lasted endlessly.
"Imperial grandmother, Mu Wanqing committed the seven out of the article and was demoted to a ninth-class concubine, and the side room Mu is very good at performing with soft character and woman's virtue, and she is the housewife of the palace, and she also asks the imperial grandmother to give an order." Huo Chen said loudly again.
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, but still said in a deep voice: "Accurate!" ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned, holding the red wedding robe tightly in her hand, it was wet with tears, it had become crimson, the tears on her cheeks had dried up, and she said word by word: "Huo Chen, I originally had a marriage contract with Brother Huan, and you tried your best to get the emperor to give you a marriage, but now you actually treat me like this!" ”
"You're not done, how do you want this king to treat you?" Huo Chen's voice was like ice and snow.
Mu Wanqing glanced around, unwilling to look at her father, the fainting mother, and Mu Yirou's sinister face, she looked up to the sky and laughed, her body trembled violently: "Then I just beg not to meet you again in the next life!" ”
Before the words fell, only a loud bang was heard, and warm blood splashed onto Huo Chen's face.
Everyone present panicked and couldn't help but scream.
Huo Chen only felt that his eyes were red, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already seen Mu Wanqing lying softly on the side of the wall, and the snow-white wall was dyed with bright red dripping, and there were little blood stains.
Suddenly there was silence.
Huo Chen stood there, unable to move for a long time.
It was as if I felt the breath of death.
