Chapter 168: Not as good as the first time I met that troublemaker
It is rare to see a wedding procession without a groom.
The crowd began to talk.
"Is this the wedding procession of His Royal Highness the War King? Why can't we see the groom?"
"I don't know, what's going on?"
"His Royal Highness the War Prince has been acting strangely. Who knows where he has gone? It looks like just as the rumors say. His Royal Highness the War Prince is not willing to marry the Queen of the Northern Frontier, so even her relatives are unwilling to come and pick her up."
"No, no, His Highness Prince Zhan's words are as good as gold. Since he has accepted the imperial decree, he has agreed to the marriage. He will never humiliate Her Majesty the Queen like this."
"According to what you said, His Royal Highness the War King is seriously ill again?"
"It's hard to say. Last month, His Royal Highness the War King went crazy in the Xun Medical Clinic and almost turned the entire capital upside down. No one knows what happened, but many people saw that day that the guy who was dispensing medicine in the clinic was almost strangled to death by him!"
"Alas, the only person who can make His Highness the Zhan Prince so crazy is the Zhan Prince's Consort. I heard a little news that it seems that the Xunyi Clinic found a letter that the Zhan Prince's Consort sent back last year."
"There is such a thing? So Princess Zhan really didn't die by drowning?"
"Keep your voices down. The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to discuss Princess Zhan. Are you trying to save your life?"
This was the first time that Chu Jian heard the people in the capital city talk about Jing Muyang in the most straightforward way. It seemed that after she got into trouble, Jing Muyang had cleaned up the capital city so badly that even her name could not be mentioned. How much must the emperor be targeting her?
I didn't know how to describe how sad I felt when I first saw her. The emperor had never liked her and had always wanted to depose her. He also had always wanted to force women into Jing Muyang's arms, which was not impossible for him to do.
The sedan chair passed in front of her and she saw Qingshan and Qingye at first sight. There was no doubt that this was Jing Muyang's wedding procession, but where was Jing Muyang?
"Qingshan!" Chu Jian finally couldn't help but shout.
Qingshan seemed to hear a voice, he frowned, the voice was a bit like the princess's voice, he looked back at the crowd, didn't find anything unusual, maybe he had heard it wrong.
The prince did not sleep all night last night, and is still in Xiu Garden now. He has not combed his hair or changed his clothes. The big red wedding characters that he had just put up yesterday have all been torn off, and even his wedding dress has been torn to pieces by him. No one can get close to him.
But the auspicious time could not be missed, so the emperor had to send him and Qingye to pick up the bride.
Chu Jian was covered by Fusang's mouth, and buried his head in his arms, "Chu Yang! Siming is still with the emperor!"
Chu Jian held back her tears, this was the price she had to pay for being able to come out.
Chu Jian returned to the palace without seeing Jing Muyang. The Emperor of Nanbang allowed her to go out and take a look only because he knew that Jing Muyang would not show up at all.
Although Jing Muyang did not show up, the Queen of Beisai in the palace was still taken away. The Emperor of Nanbang and Fuso both went to Prince Zhan's mansion to watch the ceremony, while Chu Jian was forcibly kept in the palace.
The sound of gongs and drums outside faded away, and Chu Jian sat quietly in front of the cradle, rocking it gently without saying a word.
The cradle was empty.
Things are not something she can control. In the face of absolute power, she is just a lamb to be slaughtered and can do nothing.
Cry? She couldn't cry any more. Emperor Lingyin would not save her, Emperor Nanbang would not let her go, she couldn't lose Siming, and she couldn't let the Three Kingdoms fall into chaos.
In the end, Chu Jian took it all.
Just like that, His Royal Highness the King of War of Lingyin Kingdom and Her Majesty the Queen of Beisai got married, at least that’s what the Lingyin royal family announced.
*
After Jing Muyang's wedding, the Emperor of Nanbang refused to leave the capital and did not talk about business. He just spent the whole day playing in the capital.
Emperor Ling Yin was troubled by him. He was also the emperor, and it was far from enough for the Ministry of Rites to step in. Not only could they not drive him away, they also had to send a prince to greet him every day.
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince have already come forward to greet them for several days. This day, the Emperor of Rinanbang suddenly had the urge to take the Emperor of Lingyin to go for a flower boat ride. There are no large rivers passing through the capital of Lingyin Kingdom, but there are small water systems connected to the lakes, so there are still flower boats.
However, if the emperor were to take a boat ride, more guards would be needed. Jing Muyang was pulled out from Prince Zhan's mansion to be mainly responsible for security.
At this moment, he was shuttling between the main ship and the escort ship, reminding his subordinates of some precautions from time to time.
The emperors of the two countries and the Queen of Beisai are all on this main ship. No one knows what the Emperor of Nanbang is thinking. Not only does he dare to come, but he also brings the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess and even their only grandchild. Isn't he afraid of being wiped out in Lingyin Kingdom?
However, Jing Muyang also received news that Nanbang had stationed 150,000 soldiers in Qingshui Town, and they had also made backup plans.
However, there are some incomprehensible aspects of this operation. The Emperor of Nanbang took such a risk with three generations of his family and handed over all political power to Prince Jin. It seems that he has great trust in his younger brother and is willing to entrust the country to him if anything unexpected happens.
This makes people wonder what he is trying to do.
Although Jing Muyang did not go out of the Prince Zhan's Mansion these days, he secretly issued orders and transferred a lot of troops to Nan'an for deployment.
I don't want to fight a war, but I'm not afraid if it breaks out.
"Jingtai, your precious son is so powerful. He didn't go out for four or five days after getting married. Is he anxious to have a baby? Hahaha..." The Emperor of Nanbang joked while looking at Jing Muyang's figure on the next boat.
"Zhu Yuan, do you think everyone is like you? You only have one son and you are not in a hurry at all. Be careful that no one will inherit your throne." Emperor Ling Yin rolled his eyes at him.
"How could that be? My daughter-in-law just gave me a big fat grandson." The Emperor of Nanbang took Siming from the wet nurse and held him in his arms, unable to let go.
"You only have one big fat grandson, but I have many big fat grandsons!" Emperor Ling Yin glanced at his excitement and couldn't understand why he only had one grandchild and there was nothing to be proud of.
"That's different. My big fat grandson was born to the Crown Princess. What about you? Where is your precious crown prince?" The Emperor of Nanbang asked with a smile.
Emperor Ling Yin's face darkened. He really didn't want to argue with him. He didn't know what he was up to. They had been fighting for more than 20 years. Although their relationship had eased in the meantime, this was the first time they sat together like this.
Fuso and Chujian were sitting behind the Emperor of Nanbang. Chujian was wearing a veil and a red gauze skirt of the same color as Fuso. Her plump figure after giving birth was naturally much rounder than before pregnancy, with round hips, waist, chest, and even face. However, she was still thinner than when she gave birth.
Fuso would peel a nut for her or hand her a piece of cake from time to time.
When he first saw it, he lowered his head, looking very nervous. He didn't eat much and just piled it all on the plate in front of him.
Emperor Ling Yin glanced at her, and she was so timid and weak that she said nothing, not daring to raise her head. She even wore a veil in such an occasion, as if she was afraid to see people. How could such a woman be chosen to be the Crown Princess?
Haha, it’s not as good as the first time I met that troublemaker.
