Qi Yixuan looked up at the bride, but didn't find anything unusual.

The two men walked to the front of the hall, knelt down, and prepared to salute.

"Bow to heaven and earth."

"Bow to your parents."

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

The ceremony is over——

Qi Yixuan's mind was now completely focused on entering the bridal chamber, and he didn't even notice the matchmaker taking the red silk out of his hand.

At this time, another person came in from the door. He was also a man in wedding clothes. The steps were the same as before, even the auspicious words said by the matchmaker were exactly the same.

Qi Yixuan looked at the man's figure and felt that he was very familiar with him. However, his face was completely unfamiliar to him. His already confused mind became even more confused.

The man was Cheng Jiao, but Qi Yixuan couldn't recognize him at all.

"I wish you three, your spouse and your spouse, will give birth to a baby soon, and stay together forever." The matchmaker's words sounded extremely awkward, but still no one else spoke.

Qi Yixuan stood there stupidly, watching the two men kneel where he had just knelt and salute again.

"Bow to heaven and earth."

"Two bows..."

Suddenly, Cheng Jiao stood up and interrupted the singing.

The matchmaker's face changed color, and he hurried forward and said, "Groom, don't waste time, and pay your respects quickly."

Cheng Jiao turned his head and glanced at the other person. "Salute?" He sneered, "With a dead person?"

Qi Yixuan was waiting anxiously on the side and squeezed over to try to hold the bride's hand.

Cheng Jiao was unable to stop him. Seeing Qi Yixuan getting deeper and deeper into the trap, he suddenly pulled off the bride's veil. The veil fell to the ground, and the candlelight illuminated a mutilated face with distorted features.

"Qi Yixuan, look carefully, she is not a human at all!" Cheng Jiao shouted loudly.

But Qi Yixuan stared at the bride's face with an infatuated look, not only refusing to let go, but holding on even tighter.

"My husband, he is here to cause trouble. I am so scared. Please take me away quickly." Seeing that Cheng Jiao had woken up, Hongying quickly seized the opportunity and was determined to keep Qi Yixuan.

"Your husband will take you away right now!" Qi Yixuan pushed Cheng Jiao away, put his arm around Hongying's shoulders and walked towards the door.

Cheng Jiao gnashed his teeth in anger and cursed him as a waste.

Just as Qi Yixuan was about to step out of the door, he suddenly heard a loud roar from behind. The sound was like that of a tiger and a bull. It immediately gave him a splitting headache, and then he lost consciousness.

“Your Highness…”

"Please wake up, Your Highness..."

Qi Yixuan felt like he was a lone boat in the vast ocean, his body swaying constantly and sounds coming from his ears from time to time.

Suddenly, a bone-chilling chill pierced his head, and Qi Yixuan shuddered and woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a tearful face. It was Wen Wangshu's.

"Your Highness, you are finally awake." Although Wen Wangshu asked in a low voice, it was obvious that she was very excited.

"Um, what happened?"

Qi Yixuan felt as if he had slept for a very long time. His head was dizzy and his limbs were weak, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

"We were tricked."

When Qi Yixuan heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked to the side, "Cheng Jiao, you came out?"

"I went to invite Master Cheng." Wen Wangshu wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and said, "Your Highness has a high fever and is unconscious. The imperial physician has been treating him for a day but to no avail. I was really worried, so I went to invite Master Cheng to come."

Wen Wangshu begged in front of the palace for a whole day and night before she finally got Cheng Jiao to come out, but she was a smart woman and would never say such things out loud to increase the rift between them.

Qi Yixuan gently patted the back of Wen Wangshu's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wangshu." After saying that, he struggled to sit up, but he had no strength. Wen Wangshu supported his back and helped him sit up.

"Cheng Jiao, what do you mean by what you just said?" Qi Yixuan only felt that he had a very long dream. The specific content of the dream was now vague. When he woke up, he felt like he had a serious illness.

"Could it be the assassin from that night?" Qi Yixuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and leaned forward excitedly, "Could it be that he poisoned me?"

Cheng Jiao glanced at him indifferently, "It's not poisoning, but something more troublesome than poisoning."

Half an hour later, a roar came from Qi Yixuan's bedroom -

Gu, Ling, Ze!

A-choo, A-choo.

Gu Lingze rubbed his nose. He sneezed twice when he woke up. Could someone be scolding him?

Xie Luocheng and Han Xiaoran came early this morning.

After breakfast, Gu Lingze took Han Xiaoran's pulse and told the couple that both adults and children were fine. They were both very happy.

"Lingze, I'm here today to bring you good news." Han Xiaoran said.

When Gu Lingze heard that it was good news, he immediately became interested, "What good news is that, uncle?"

"You asked me to find out about restaurants for you before." Xie Luocheng tapped the table with the handle of his fan and said, "There is a suitable one now. It depends on whether you are willing."

"Since the conditions are right, why are you unwilling?" Gu Lingze was a little confused.

"This restaurant is the former Jinyulou."

Gu Lingze was a little surprised, "Jinyu Tower?"

Xie Luocheng nodded, "That's right. Ever since Yuan Changyun died, no one has been taking care of Jinyu Tower anymore. It didn't take long for the whole place to fall apart."

"Yuan Lun is sending someone to deal with the Jinyulou business right now. If you want to open a restaurant, this is a good opportunity."

Gu Lingze thought about it and asked Zhao Chengmo to help call Xu Mingyan over so that they could discuss it together.

After hearing what happened, Xu Mingyan nodded and said, "When we came to the capital that day, we also took a general look at the layout and location of Jinyu Tower. They are both excellent choices."

"But..." Xu Mingyan frowned hesitantly.

"Just what? Brother Xu." Gu Lingze asked.

"If Yuan Lun knew that the buyer was us, he would definitely not agree."

The death of Yuan Mingjun and the incident in Dali Temple prison, old hatred and new grudges, it would be strange if Yuan Lun was willing.

Xie Luocheng smiled and said, "If this is what you are worried about, then you don't have to worry about it."

"I have traveled extensively over the years and have quite a few connections. I will buy the restaurant in the name of a wealthy businessman from another place and then transfer it to you."

The final problem was solved, so Gu Lingze and Xu Mingyan had nothing to hesitate about and immediately decided to buy Jinyu Tower.

But there is one more thing that we have to consider.

"Uncle Xie, what is the price Yuan Lun offered?" Xu Mingyan asked.

Gu Lingze then realized that money was a big problem.

This is the capital city, not a small place like the county seat. The Jinyu Tower is in a good location and has a large area. With the financial resources of their two families, they probably cannot afford it.

"I'll have someone help you negotiate a suitable price. Right now, the price of Jinyulou is too high, and many people are waiting and watching."
