Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 88 Cruel Emperor vs. Fatal Sister (14)
Through a layer of gauze, Zhao Jinyuan saw the bride dressed up inside, and could already imagine how beautiful she was today.
The bride seemed not to notice his arrival, so he quietly lifted the gauze.
"Zhao Jinyuan, in your heart, this country is more important."
The bride's tone was calm, without any accusation. His heart felt like a piece of flesh was cut out, and it hurt, and the pain could not be stopped.
"No... No!"
He wanted to explain himself, but his throat was choked and he couldn't utter a word.
"Why not? You sent me out to marry to protect your country." The bride stood up and approached him step by step, her lips as ghostly as blood.
"You are my sister. How can I bear to let her go."
Zhao Jinyuan's eyes were red.
He didn't know whether he was wronged or sad.
"There are many other ways." The bride gently strangled his neck, and her tone could not hide her disappointment.
"Sister, I never thought of sending you to marry." Zhao Jinyuan held his head high and let her pinch him without struggling.
"Since the country is important, then you should die!" The bride exerted force on her hands.
Zhao Jinyuan closed his eyes peacefully, waiting for death to come.
It would be a blessing to die at the hands of his sister.
Suddenly, he was thrown heavily on the table, and his elbow directly crushed a porcelain cup, bleeding.
The bride provoked him wantonly: "Zhao Jinyuan, you are a coward."
"Zhao Jinyuan, you are a coward... you are a coward... you are a coward..." kept echoing in his ears until he woke up from this dream.
Recalling the scene in the dream, he laughed, self-mocking and self-smirking.
How could his sister bear to hurt him. He actually believed it.
"What's going on in Daying recently?"
Zhao Jinyuan, who had a nightmare for the first time, stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The palace maid took the initiative to help him dress.
"Daying has been busy welcoming the princess recently and has not made any special moves." Eunuch Wu put on his shoes and said worriedly, "It's still early now, Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest?"
"No need." Zhao Jinyuan's expression was cold and he strode away. "My Jin Dynasty actually needs a woman to marry and protect me. How can I have the face to rest?"
Daying, he must be eliminated!
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Eunuch Wu thought he was going to the imperial study, but the direction of his footsteps was clearly not the right one.
"Prepare the horse and leave the palace." Zhao Jinyuan's feet were windy and his steps were firm.
His elder sister could only stay by his side!
"Ah? Where to?" Eunuch Wu was a little slow to react. When he saw the emperor leaving the palace, he hurried out.
At the Princess's Mansion, Nanny Xi was wiping Shi Yi's face.
It was originally a good day, but the bride had a cold face and no festive spirit. Nanny Xi did not dare to breathe except for the movement of her hands, and could not say a word of auspicious words that she should have said. She didn't know what to say.
Usually, weddings are to congratulate the bride for finally meeting her true love, but the whole capital is saying that the king of Daying is a 40-50 year old old man. How can she say congratulations?
Finally, the face-shaving was over, and Nanny Xi took a deep breath beside her.
This famous female general of the Great Jin Dynasty is extraordinary. She has served the families and daughters of countless dignitaries, and this is the first time she feels breathless.
"Cover the bride with a red veil." Nanny Xi was afraid of Shi Yi, so she took the initiative to give this task to the female apprentice who came to follow her.
The master is afraid, how can the apprentice not be afraid? She picked up the red cloth tremblingly and walked towards Shi Yi tremblingly.
"I'll do it myself." Shi Yi felt her fear and didn't want to embarrass her, so he covered his head directly, "Let's go."
"Send the princess to the sedan chair." Nanny Xi shouted in a high voice.
Shi Yi, supported by Nanny Xi and her female apprentice, walked towards the bridal sedan prepared by Daying step by step, with an indifferent and empty look in her eyes.
The city walls were crowded with people inside and outside.
Today was the day of the princess's marriage, and everyone came to watch the excitement. Some of them came to see the princess off sincerely. In their hearts, this woman did much better than others.
"Stop, you are not allowed to leave." Zhao Jinyuan rode a white horse and stopped the mighty marriage team in the street.
"Who is coming?" The leader of the bride's escort was a newly appointed official, who had not yet recognized that it was Lord Jing. It was
a hard job to escort the bride, and you might not be able to come back, so countless ministers were shirking it, and finally let this unknown person get the "cheap deal".
"How dare you, don't even recognize Lord Jing?" Eunuch Wu, who finally caught up with him after hurrying hard, loudly scolded the new official who had no vision.
Although the new official had not seen the emperor in person, he had seen Eunuch Wu from afar in the palace countless times and remembered his unique voice clearly. He immediately jumped off his horse and knelt down to apologize, "It is my ignorance that has offended the emperor. Please forgive me."
Zhao Jinyuan looked at the Daying-style sedan chair with fear and sadness in his eyes.
Almost, almost, he and his elder sister would be separated.
"Sister." He called softly through the curtain of the sedan chair.
Shi Yiduan sat in his own sedan chair, quiet and silent.
Zhao Jinyuan got off his horse, walked towards the sedan chair, and lifted the curtain.
"You shouldn't have come." Shi Yi's tone was full of coldness. "Be obedient and go back quickly before the morning court."
Zhao Jinyuan ignored her words, took her hand, and said in a tired and hoarse voice: "Sister, I'm here to take you home." Shi Yi
looked up at him, then raised her hand and slapped him in the face: "Why do you do this? You disregard the life and death of the Jin Dynasty."
Zhao Jinyuan didn't hide, but hugged her tightly, his eyes red, and he cried, "I don't agree with you going to marry."
"If I don't go to marry, what will you do? What about the people of Dajin?" Shi Yi's eyes were full of tears, "Ayuan, let me go while I can still protect you."
"No! Never! Even if I fight with all the troops of Dajin, I will not let the king of Daying bully you!" Zhao Jinyuan hugged her tightly in his arms, leaving no space,
"Ajie, I like you."
Those secrets that were hidden at night were finally revealed in broad daylight at this moment, in front of everyone.
The onlookers were shocked to know this secret. Eunuch Wu on the side was not surprised at all.
He spent so many days and nights with the young king. During those nights, the words he occasionally heard were enough for him to guess the emperor's thoughts.
Shi Yi shed two lines of tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled.
She had waited so long, and finally heard these words.
She was destined to pay for them her whole life.
