Qi Wei, raised since childhood by her aunt to serve her elder sister, discovers on her deathbed that she is the true legitimate daughter.
Reborn on the eve of being sent to her brother-in-law...
Chapter 281 My dear wife, I miss you so much
The envoys of both sides had a very pleasant conversation and soon set the date for the marriage of the princesses of both sides on the first day of September.
The first day of September is Gu Huan’s birthday.
It is also the full moon day for the twins, a boy and a girl.
On the last day of August, the princess's procession arrived. The long convoy of dowry was truly a stretch of ten miles.
Zhao Luoxuan did not wear the wedding dress brought from the palace. Instead, she wore the wedding dress that she and Gu Huan had embroidered themselves in the clothing shop they opened in Juzhou, and waited obediently for her marriage in the mansion of Duke Yong.
On the first day of September, three good things come.
Every household in the city was hung with red lanterns and the pillars were wrapped with red curtains. It was even more lively than a festival.
Duan Yu was wearing a red robe and riding on a tall horse. Behind him was a gorgeous carriage surrounded by red embroidered phoenix curtains, and inside was the Dali princess in her gorgeous dress.
The bride was also sitting in Princess Shuhe's exclusive wedding carriage.
After the ritual departments of both sides finished the ceremony, the two princesses were helped out of the carriage, both of them covered with bright red veils.
Duan Yu was reaching out to Zhao Luoxuan...
Suddenly, a loud shout came: "She is fake!"
Duan Yu turned around and saw Gu Huan coming over with a group of people. The maids were also surrounding a woman with a veil.
Duan Yu retracted his hand.
"What? This princess is fake?"
Gu Huan said coldly: "Yes, someone wants to assassinate the princess and then pretend to be the princess to marry!"
Duan Yu suddenly looked at the bride in front of him.
The bride suddenly pulled off her veil and looked at Gu Huan and Wang Heng with a ferocious expression. She held a dagger in her hand and rushed towards Gu Huan like a madman.
"Bitch, you ruined me! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
Gu Huan stood still, staring at Jiang Ruoxi who was like a trapped beast.
Before she could take two steps, seven or eight swords pierced her body at the same time.
In the chest, Duan Yu's sword pierced deeply into her chest.
The guards' swords stabbed into his back.
She screamed miserably and slowly fell to the ground.
But his eyes were fixed on Gu Huan, his eyes were bloodshot, blood was spitting out of his mouth, and he was mumbling and squirming.
Until her death, she didn't want to know why Zhao Luoxuan, whom she had poisoned to death, came back to life, nor did she know why Gu Huan knew her plan.
She didn't know until her death that Wang Heng was the culprit who betrayed her.
Gu Huan bowed to Duan Yu and said, "Lord Duan, I'm sorry for causing you and Princess Shuhe to bleed on your wedding day."
Duan Yu gazed at her gently and said, "It's alright. Today we are just picking up the bride. Tomorrow is the auspicious day for the wedding. Madam, please go and watch the ceremony then."
Gu Huan nodded: "I will definitely go and congratulate you."
Duan Yu walked towards Zhao Luoxuan, who was covered with a red veil, and held her hand: "Princess, you are frightened."
Zhao Luoxuan's hand froze, and she subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but she quickly held back and said softly, "It's okay, Sister Huan has already made arrangements, and I won't be hurt."
Duan Yu took her hand and walked to Gu Huan together: "Duan Yu thanks Madam Mu for letting me marry such a good princess."
Gu Huan's eyes were slightly red. "Please treat Sister Xuanxuan well, Prince Duan. If you let her down, we will not agree."
Duan Yu smiled and said, "Of course. Xuanxuan is from my mother's hometown and is also Madam Mu's good sister. How dare I neglect her?"
Gu Huan watched Zhao Luoxuan get on the Dali Kingdom's wedding carriage and couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhao Luoxuan finally assumed the obligations of a princess and became a princess married to a foreign country.
Fortunately, Qi Jun's spirit tablet was with her.
The princess of Dali was also put on the princess' ceremonial carriage in Daliang and set off for Beijing on the same day.
In order to celebrate the triple happiness, not only was a long buffet banquet set up in the mansion of Duke Yong, but Xuanhualou also set up a long buffet banquet on the busiest street in the city.
You can eat for free from morning till night.
The twins, a boy and a girl, were cared for like their own babies by a group of people. They no longer had the weakness of premature babies, and their big, bright eyes rolled around curiously.
After the excitement, Gu Huan sat between the two cradles in the room, rocking one gently in each hand.
The pair of little cuties had been surrounded by the crowd for several hours and were now very sleepy and sleeping soundly.
Gu Huan was worried about Mu Junyan.
Chi Yan said that when the princess's procession set out, great changes quietly took place in the capital.
King Ping An secretly mobilized his private soldiers.
Gu Huan knew clearly that Mu Junyan and she were from different places, but they were doing the same thing: forcing Prince Ping'an to rebel.
As long as Jiang Ruoxi's marriage plan fails, it means that the Jiang family has no hope of subduing the Mu family's army.
Prince Ping An knew very well that it would be either him or me, and the Mu family army would definitely settle accounts with him.
What Gu Huan was worried about was whether Mu Junyan could get away.
Judging from what has happened during this period, His Majesty may have wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, he wanted to use Mu Junyan's ability to remove the obstacle of the Jiang family, and on the other hand, he wanted to use King Ping'an to suppress Mu Junyan.
In fact, His Majesty might not want Mu Junyan to leave the palace alive.
For the whole day, Gu Huan forced herself to smile, but she was actually very nervous.
In the dead of night, she looked at her children who were growing more and more beautiful, and felt sad from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't notice that a tall figure quietly appeared at the bedroom door in the moonlight.
He stood there and stared at Gu Huan leaning over and patting the two babies in their cradles.
Mu Junyan suppressed his excitement, smelled the blood and sweat on his body, and did not dare to enter the house for fear of disturbing his baby.
He was also afraid that Gu Huan would be frightened when she saw him covered in blood.
She had been frightened for too long.
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua looked at him, then looked inside the house.
Since their master didn't say anything, the two of them didn't dare to say anything.
"Donghua, Dongqing, ask the wet nurse to take the child away."
Gu Huan finally stood up.
Donghua and Dongqing responded hurriedly. They both glanced at Mu Junyan quickly. Donghua hurried to call the wet nurse, and Dongqing went into the house to help pack the child's things.
Mu Junyan hid behind the rockery. Two wet nurses came into the house and carried the pair of babies away along with the cradle.
Mu Junyan felt that he should take a shower and change clothes, but he was reluctant to leave Gu Huan, and his eyes were fixed on Linglong's figure in the room.
Gu Huan lazily sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair intermittently: "Donghua, is there still no news about Ziyuan?"
Donghua quickly glanced at the dark shadow outside the window and stammered.
Gu Huan was startled and immediately put down the comb and turned to look at Dong Hua: "What's wrong? Is there any bad news?"
Her voice trembled.
Donghua said hurriedly: "No, no. I thought that the master should be back in one or two days."
Gu Huan was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Has there been any news? Is the situation in Bianjing peaceful?"
Donghua had no idea, but she nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Gu Huan heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the comb and continued to comb her hair, muttering to herself in front of the mirror: "That means she will be back soon. He shouldn't be too anxious, or he will be too tired from running. If he comes back, he won't be here tomorrow according to the schedule. Unless he stays up all night for ten days or half a month."
Donghua looked at the dark shadow outside the window again.
After a while, Zhou Zhilan walked in.
"Sister Huan, drink the calming soup. You are too tired today."
Gu Huan was indeed very tired.
In order to foil Jiang Ruoxi's plan, and afraid of hurting Zhao Luoxuan, and also worried about Mu Junyan's safety, her nerves were always tense.
But she couldn't sleep.
She obediently took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"I need to get a good night's sleep. What if Ziyuan comes back tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes, you need to get some sleep."
Zhou Zhilan covered her with the quilt personally, winked at Donghua and Dongqing, and the three of them blew out the candles and walked out.
"My Lord."
The three of them walked up to Mu Junyan and bowed.
"You guys go down."
"yes."
Mu Junyan took off the blood-stained armor and handed it to Zhou Zhilan.
He walked into the bedroom with his arms and legs trembling, smelled the long-lost body fragrance, and heard the even breathing of his beloved woman. His heart quickly burned like a boiling flame.
Gu Huan fell asleep so quickly.
I must be exhausted.
He approached cautiously, sat on the footstool beside the bed, reached under the quilt, and held her small hand.
He murmured, "Huan'er, Huan'er, my beloved wife, I miss you so much."
