This was not the first time she heard a maid say that the son-in-law was worthy of her young lady, but in this situation, Jiang Shi was the new top scholar and the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, and he had a bright future.

As for Yu Tanqi, no one had any impression of her. They only knew that she was a young lady from a noble official family.

Many people think that Yu Tanqi is worthy of Jiang Shi, not Jiang Shi who is worthy of Yu Tanqi.

The bridesmaid looked back at the closed door.

At this moment, the bridesmaid suddenly understood why the bride was treated so gently by the groom.

Because she really deserves it.

…

Jiang Shi came to the banquet hall to toast the guests.

Because it was a long-awaited wedding, Jiang Shi invited civil and military officials and royal nobles who were on good terms with the Wu'an Marquis Mansion to attend the wedding banquet.

Among them are Yunxuan and Chili.

Although he disliked the two of them, Jiang Shi knew that he had to keep them under his nose in order to effectively stop them from doing bad things.

Today is the most important day for him and Yu Tanqi, and he will not allow anything to ruin their good fortune.

Jiang Shi arrived late, and everyone's eyes fell on his slightly swollen red lips, and they all showed ambiguous and understanding smiles.

Some people drank a few sips of wine and dared to make jokes.

"It's so hard to get a beautiful woman. If it weren't for the etiquette, Prince Jiang probably wouldn't want to come out."

"On his wedding night, when his name was on the imperial examination list, Crown Prince Jiang was worthy of being the child of Marquis Wu'an and his wife. True to form, a tiger father will have a dog son. His future is limitless."

"Come, come, Prince Jiang, I offer you a toast. I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage."

Everyone toasted Jiang Shi.

"Thank you very much."

Jiang Shi had a gentle smile on his face, and he seemed calm but quickly toasted everyone.

Yun Xuan watched coldly, picked up the wine glass on the table and rubbed it in his hands, not intending to drink it.

Chi Li drank one glass after another with a bitter taste in his mouth.

He stared at Jiang in a daze, but the image of the girl in red clothes came to his mind.

She must be very beautiful today.

Unfortunately, he could only see her wearing a red wedding dress, covered with a red veil, and getting married with someone else, but he had never seen the girl's face under the red veil.

Chi Li was feeling upset and drank quickly and fiercely. He soon choked himself and started coughing non-stop.

A pair of soft hands quickly patted his back, "Sir, are you okay? Do you want me to help you down and rest?"

Chi Li pushed her away without even looking up, and said in a low voice: "Go away."

"Sir, your face is completely red. Stop drinking. Let me help you to rest."

The girl in red refused to leave and even reached out to stop him from drinking.

"I said go away, don't you understand?"

Chi Li frowned. His vision was already blurred at this moment. When he looked up at the girl, all he saw was her bright red dress that looked like a wedding gown.

His eyes were deeply stung and his head was splitting with pain.

"roll."

He shook her arm off uncontrollably, and the girl fell to the ground. The pain and grievance made her want to cry, so pitiful.

Chi Li held his head with a painful expression.

"it hurts……"

He clenched his teeth tightly and his body trembled slightly.

Seeing this, the girl forgot the pain in her body and quickly stood up to massage his forehead.

Under her massage, Chi Li's pain was relieved a lot. He closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

Seeing this, the girl quickly helped him up.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chi Li being helped away by someone. The corners of Jiang Shi's lips curled up slightly. When he opened his mouth to speak, someone suddenly shouted.

"The Emperor is critically ill. Your Highnesses, please enter the palace immediately!"

The originally joyful banquet suddenly became a scene of panic.

Jin Wang Gao Rui immediately stood up and said to Jiang Shi anxiously, "Zi'an, I'll go into the palace first."

Without waiting for Jiang Shi's reply, he turned around and strode away, not even caring about his wife Bai Yingluo beside him.

The other princes and princesses also quickly stood up and followed.

The word "critically ill" was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heart. The originally bustling banquet hall fell silent for a moment, and then a voice slowly began to rise.

"How could the Emperor suddenly become critically ill? Wasn't he fine a few days ago? He was even able to get up and preside over the palace examination."

"Looking at how worried the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin are, I'm afraid the Emperor's health hasn't fully recovered."

"Why do I have a bad feeling..."

Jiang Shi looked at Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand towards him, slowly poured the wine inside onto the ground, curled his lips into a smile, and looked cold and provocative.

Jiang Shi pursed his lips, knowing that what he was worried about had happened.

After the prince and princess left, the other guests also wanted to leave. However, before they could open their mouths, a burst of crisp and powerful applause suddenly rang out.

"Everyone please be quiet and preferably stay in your seats to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

Everyone looked at the person who was speaking and found that it was King Yun Xuan. They were shocked and confused for a moment.

Yun Xuan stood up, walked slowly to Jiang Shi, and then slowly looked at everyone.

At this moment, everyone was shocked to find that this king of a different surname, who was usually taciturn and seldom interacted with others, although young and handsome, exuded a terrifying aura and an arrogant demeanor, which was not inferior to that of the current prince.

But the way he looked at everyone was cold and calm, like a python standing quietly, spitting out its scarlet tongue nonchalantly, ready to suddenly open its bloody mouth and swallow them all in one gulp.

He said indifferently, "There are guards outside. If anyone wants to escape, they should think about whether their body can withstand a bullet."

Everyone was stunned.

Some people didn't believe it: "Imperial Guards? Aren't they the emperor's army? How can you dispatch them?"

Just then, Hou Lang rushed in with a group of guards and surrounded the banquet hall.

The guards pointed their spears straight at the crowd, which made them terrified.

It turned out to be the Royal Guards!

Yun Xuan sneered, "If you don't believe me, then go and see for yourself. If you manage to survive, remember to come back and tell everyone if there are any Imperial Guards outside."

His words were cold and sinister, and they made people tremble. Those who originally did not believe it were now half-believing and half-doubting, but still puzzled.

Someone angrily asked, "Prince Yun, what do you want to do? Using the Imperial Guards to threaten us, are you planning a rebellion?"

After hearing these words, everyone suddenly understood and looked at Yun Xuan in fear.

Yun Xuan remained calm and composed, even nodding directly, not afraid of their gazes at all.

"Yes, I'm going to rebel, so you'd better be obedient, quiet, and don't make me unhappy, otherwise, there is only one way out, and that is death, understand?"

Someone was about to start cursing angrily, but Hou Lang threw a dagger and stabbed him in the chest.

The man immediately fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest and blood constantly flowing out.

"Master!" The woman beside him was horrified and quickly knelt on the ground, trying to touch him with trembling hands.

Yun Xuan no longer paid attention to these officials. His gaze fell on Jiang Shi, with an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
