True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets-Chapter 293 - 292: The Grand Wedding!
Yu Nianzhao turned her head and asked, "Where is the Empress Dowager?"
Xie Jiuxiao lowered his voice and said, "She has been imprisoned, constantly watched, so there won’t be any more trouble."
Yu Nianzhao pursed her lips and said, "That means the Chu Family isn’t the ultimate mastermind!"
Xie Jiuxiao furrowed his brow tightly, "Zhaozhao, do you mean there’s someone behind the Chu Family?"
"Yes, that’s what I think."
"The evil spirit on Mr. Xie’s body wasn’t particularly strong, he couldn’t even resist when caught, which suggests that the person who put the spirit on him isn’t that powerful."
Dongfang Hong spoke in a timely manner.
"Let’s keep observing."
Yu Nianzhao calmly said, "If they are targeting Xie Yunzhe, then let’s wait for them to show up next time."
"Okay!"
Xie Jiuxiao dispatched the Dragon Shadow Guards specifically to track and protect Xie Yunzhe.
After Chu Wenjun’s death, the destiny he snatched from Luu Shaochen was returned.
Luu Shaochen and Song Caiwei’s marriage was also scheduled, planned for spring next year.
Before that, Xie Jiuxiao and Yu Nianzhao would also get married.
The ceremony was grand and the guests were numerous!
Yu Nianzhao was married from the residence awarded by the Empress, covered with a red veil, unable to see, but she could hear the laughter of friends and guests.
"Oh, is Yu getting married so quickly? I wanted to learn more from her."
Song Jinglan was also reluctant about Yu Nianzhao. If Yu hadn’t truly disliked him, he would have pursued her bravely.
Of course, it was just a thought!
"Long?"
Dongfang Chenyuan shook his fan flamboyantly and teased, "Our Prince thinks it’s too long. If you dare say this in front of him now, he’d probably skin you."
Yiu Renjian said, "Yes, Mr. Song, the princess is already decided, be careful what you say."
Song Jinglan gave an awkward laugh, "Haha, I know, I’m just saying it casually. I truly wish them happiness."
Accompanied by music, the graceful and handsome Xie Jiuxiao held Yu Nianzhao’s hand and led her to the dais. Seated were the Grand Concubine and the Emperor, and the Empress didn’t want to miss this banquet, so she came with the Crown Prince.
Almost all the Dragon Shadow Guards in Shangjing were deployed, surrounding Prince Su Mansion to protect their safety, ensuring not even a fly could get in.
Ms. Lien watched quietly among the crowd, her gaze both satisfied and bittersweet.
Her daughter was getting married, and she was able to attend the ceremony, which was the best outcome, unlike Pei Yuanzheng who wasn’t even invited.
"The ceremony is complete! Send into the bridal chamber!"
With the usher’s words, there was a chorus of congratulations around.
Yu Nianzhao was sent to the bridal chamber, and Zhixi prepared some snacks for her, saying with concern, "Princess, you’ve been hungry all day, you should eat something first."
Yu Nianzhao naturally wouldn’t starve herself, and just as she took the snacks intending to eat, the room door was pushed open.
Xie Jiuxiao asked Zhixi to leave, and hurriedly lifted the red veil.
"Zhaozhao, you’re truly beautiful."
His dark deep eyes stared at Yu Nianzhao with intense warmth, his voice was even hoarser.
Upon hearing Xie Jiuxiao’s words, Yu Nianzhao blushed for the first time.
"Aren’t you going out to entertain the guests?"
She softly asked.
"No need, my imperial brother is handling it for me. I wanted to come back to be with you."
From outside, they could hear noises of people wanting to play tricks in the bridal chamber but were dutifully blocked by Mu Hongxuan and others.
Xie Jiuxiao blew out the candles, his tall figure stood before Yu Nianzhao, locking his gaze on her, leisurely undressing.
"Xie Jiuxiao!"
Yu Nianzhao was slightly shy, retreating a bit.
"What did you call me?" Xie Jiuxiao’s voice was somewhat alluring.
"Ziyin..."
"Zhaozhao, I’ve finally married you!"
Xie Jiuxiao dominantly locked her wrist, leaned down, and kissed her, swallowing all her whimpers.
The sky darkened, the candles were extinguished and relit, flickering again and again.
Zhixi and Ms Jiang waited by the door, inside, water was called for again and again. Zhixi went from blushing to numbly listening, yawning repeatedly.
Until the early morning, she faintly heard her princess’ angry voice coming from inside.
Bang!
With a thud of something heavy falling, Yu Nianzhao hoarsely shouted, "Enough Xie Jiuxiao, don’t come again. Stay quiet, or you’ll never share a room with me!"
"My dear, I couldn’t help myself... I know, I’ll just hold you and sleep!"
The glory-loving Prince shamelessly hugged her, kissing and embracing, and when Yu Nianzhao couldn’t bear it anymore, he had to obediently hold her as they slept.
The next day, Yu Nianzhao was listless, while Xie Jiuxiao was energetic.
They headed to the palace for a banquet, preparing to leave.
But found that the eunuchs and maids in the palace were standing in the open space, pointing and gazing at the sky.
"What happened?"
Emperor Anqing heard the commotion outside and came out too. When he looked up, his pupils contracted.
"What is this? Is it a celestial phenomenon?"
Only to see the sky was pitch black, although it was broad daylight, dense black clouds gathered, especially in the center of Shangjing, where they formed a vortex. Inside was dark, occasionally mixed with flashes of lightning.
"This doesn’t look like a normal phenomena, it’s... man-made!"
Yu Nianzhao’s expression turned grim, and she said with a cold smile, "No wonder the evil spirits in Shangjing still linger despite the Chu Family’s downfall. It turns out the mastermind was always in Shangjing, and the Chu Family was just their guise!"
"What?"
Emperor Anqing was shocked, "I always thought the Chu Family was the biggest threat, but there are others behind it?"
Xie Jiuxiao said coldly, "I’ll go and see!"
"Alright, be careful!"
Emperor Anqing’s face was tense. After they left, he quickly beckoned, asking Mr. Wang to come over, "Go and invite Jing’an to come and check!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A moment later, Mr. Wang returned unsuccessfully, "Your Majesty, Jing’an is not in the palace. According to his disciple, he went to Tomb Guard City to pray."
Emperor Anqing’s brow was tight, puzzled, "At this time, why suddenly go to Tomb Guard City to pray? It’s strange, now that the evil spirits have reappeared, quickly send guards to invite him back and ensure his safety!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
——
The sky was gloomy, the people of Shangjing were all terrified.
The streets were nearly empty, everyone was hiding indoors, afraid to come out.
Yu Nianzhao and Xie Jiuxiao arrived at the gate of An Nan Royal Mansion, noticing this phenomenon hung right above their house.
Now, An Nan Royal Mansion’s doors were closed tight, and there wasn’t a single person outside.
"The evil aura is dense, certainly wasn’t like this during the last visit!"
Yu Nianzhao furrowed her brows, finding it puzzling.
Mu Hongxuan and Xie Jiuxiao exchanged looks, then quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Bang!
Soon after, Mu Hongxuan was thrown back by an invisible force, landing heavily.
