Soon, Liu Xiu and Ah Li got married.

On the day of his wedding, Liu Xiu set off from the palace and went straight to the residence of the Left Vice Minister.

Lord Su had someone wait outside the door. Once Liu Xiu arrived, he had the matchmaker carry Ah Li out.

Ahri is holding a fan and using it to cover her face.

When Liu Xiu and his wedding procession stopped, the matchmaker carried Ah Li into the bridal sedan chair.

Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of music and the wedding procession left.

Instead of returning to the palace, the two went directly to Liu Xiu's princely residence outside the palace.

Liu Xiu's father was already waiting at Liu Xiu's princely residence. He was very pleased to see Liu Xiu and Ah Li walk in together.

However, the woman's previous identity... The Emperor looked at the crowd of people who had come to watch the ceremony.

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, Xu Yi stood beside Prince Jing, a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist.

When Ah Li entered with Liu Xiu, Xu Yi's expression changed, and he took two steps forward.

Just then, two people appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Xu Yi with expressionless faces.

Just as Prince Jing was about to reprimand them, he noticed that the Emperor was looking at them, as well as the people blocking Xu Yi's way. The waist badges hanging from their waists indicated that they were from the palace.

Prince Jing then reached out and tugged at Xu Yi, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Yi's gaze had been fixed on Ah Li ever since she entered. His mouth was half-open, and after a long while, he finally said, "She's not dead... She's Su Li! She's my..." wife.

"Xu Yi!"

Prince Jing covered Xu Yi's mouth with one hand, preventing him from saying the following words.

Xu Yi's eyes reddened. Su Li, she was still alive, and she even married someone else right in front of him!

What... exactly is going on?

At this moment, Ah Li and Liu Xiu were performing the traditional wedding rites, bowing to heaven and earth and their parents, followed by a mutual bow between husband and wife.

"The ceremony is complete; escort them to the bridal chamber!"

When Ah Li turned around, she saw Xu Yi. Xu Yi's mouth was no longer covered by Prince Jing. He seemed to have too many questions to ask Ah Li, but Prince Jing held him tightly.

Ah Li looked at Xu Yi with a strange expression, then looked away, covered her face with her fan, and was helped back to the bridal chamber by the people next to her.

Xu Yi stared at Ah Li's retreating figure, his heart filled with confusion. Wasn't it her? When she looked at him just now, her eyes were so unfamiliar. She wasn't filled with any emotion in the sea of ​​fire, her heart and eyes were only for him. She just wanted to ask him if he had ever liked her, even just a little bit.

Is it possible for people in this world to have the same name and look exactly alike?

At this moment, the emperor waved to Liu Xiu, signaling that he was returning to the palace.

Liu Xiu quickly stepped forward, "Father."

The Emperor sighed and said, "I've allowed you to marry her, but have you thought about how to deal with those people she had dealings with before?"

Liu Xiu knew that the emperor was referring to Xu Yi, as well as Su Li's former parents, all of whom knew Su Li's true identity.

"Your son..."

Seeing the hesitation in Liu Xiu's eyes, the Emperor said, "Either eliminate the threat completely, or make sure she never leaves the house again."

Liu Xiu looked at the emperor. He didn't want Ah Li to hide forever. He said, "Then let those people leave the capital and never come back."

"You're still too kind-hearted after all."

The emperor fiddled with the jade thumb ring he wore on his thumb; this son was on whom he placed his high hopes.

It's still not quite there yet.

However, a hint of nostalgia flashed in the Emperor's eyes when he thought of Liu Xiu's mother. Well, his temperament was like his mother's; there were some things he would have to learn to face on his own.

The Emperor left, and Prince Jing also left with Xu Yi.

Xu Yi wanted to stay, but Prince Jing said, "If you're going to cause trouble, then you should first prepare for our funeral arrangements."

Xu Yi didn't understand why Prince Jing suddenly said that. He called out to Prince Jing, "Father?"

Prince Jing closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his gaze was sharp. He said to Xu Yi, "The woman you married is dead, burned to death. Have you forgotten?"

"But she really looks like her."

“That’s not her either, Xu Yi. You must remember, your legal wife is dead. This person only looks similar.”

Xu Yi was startled by the sharp look in Prince Jing's eyes. Prince Jing then asked, "Did you remember?"

Xu Yi mumbled, "I've got it."

Prince Jing then pulled Xu Yi away, and after they had gone some distance, Prince Jing looked back again.

There was a group of men in black standing where they had just been, and they were looking at the father and son.

At this moment, the man in black standing at the head of the group made a gesture, indicating that the group should regroup.

Prince Jing thought that if he had let Xu Yi stay, or if he hadn't said those words, something unexpected might have happened to his Prince Jing's mansion tonight.

It's likely that the emperor knew Su Li's identity; if someone wanted to know about her trip to the capital, they wouldn't be able to keep it a secret.

Prince Jing was still thinking about the future of the Prince Jing's Mansion. He wondered if it would be implicated because of this incident. He had been granted the title of Prince Jing through military achievements. Now that the country was at peace and there was no need for war, how long could his Prince Jing's Mansion last?

Xu Yi had also turned around and seen the men in black. He said somewhat flusteredly, "Father, who were those people just now...?"

Prince Jing didn't say anything, but pulled Xu Yi along and continued walking.

At night, Liu Xiu held Ah Li tightly, listening to Ah Li say again and again, "I love you, I adore you."

Not long after, Ahri became pregnant.

Liu Xiu also took on a task and was praised by the emperor several times, but also reprimanded several times.
