Chapter 788: Picking Up the Bride



"I understand." Xie Wanyi put the box away and glanced at Zi Yu.

Zi Yu understood and quickly took Shaoyao and Baizhi to the yard.

"To the masters of each courtyard in the mansion, the young ladies and their servants, please have Mother send someone to secretly monitor their every move, especially to see what they did and who they met with in the past three days..."

"Are you hiding something from mother?" Yunniang's uneasy heart rose again.

"I can't talk about this for now, I can't make it public, so as not to alert the enemy. I'll tell my mother in detail when I return home."

Seeing Xie Wanyi's serious face, Yunniang thought that the matter was very serious and that it was also the reason why she couldn't sleep well.

She couldn't let the big thing get ruined, so she didn't ask any further questions. "Wanyi, secretly spying on people and finding out their whereabouts is my mother's specialty. I won't let anyone with ulterior motives find out. Just rest assured and wait for your marriage! Go back to sleep first. When you wake up, I'll arrange for someone to come and give you a face!"

After that, no matter whether Xie Wanyi took a nap or a nap, she still looked unwell.

As usual, Zi Yu boiled the medicine packet containing the abortion drug in front of everyone, and then replaced it with a new one when no one was paying attention.

As usual, the dark shadow floated into the kitchen to check the soup and medicine residue.

"Your Majesty, Xie Wanyi has already drunk four packets of infertility-inducing decoctions in a row. Even a Daluo Immortal wouldn't be able to make her conceive the eldest prince's child."

Cui Wan hadn't slept well these past few days because of the little prince's annoyance. The little prince was still making a fuss just now.

After listening to Perrin's report, I felt much better.

"Are you really sure it's foolproof? Then doesn't Mr. Lu have to go to Madam Anguo for acupuncture every day? Why didn't he check Xie Wanyi's pulse?"

"The spies planted in the Anguo Mansion reported that Mr. Lu would finish acupuncture on the Anguo Lady before noon every day, and Xie Wanyi would personally cook for him. The meals were varied every day. Mr. Lu would return to the First Prince's Mansion after dinner. Even on the second day after Xie Wanyi took the contraceptive drug, her maid went to the kitchen and brought two extra dishes for Mr. Lu, but found nothing unusual! The dregs of the soup cooked every night were checked, and they contained contraceptive ingredients. Xie Wanyi's behavior was a sign that the contraceptive drug had harmed her body."

Pei Lan thought for a moment and continued, "The Crown Prince's wife saw that Xie Wanyi was unwell and went to inquire about it. If Xie Wanyi found that there was something wrong with the medicine, she would definitely tell the Crown Prince's wife. The Crown Prince's wife was reluctant to let Xie Wanyi marry into the First Prince's Mansion. If she found out, she would definitely disobey the imperial decree and not let Xie Wanyi marry. She also secretly planned to break off the engagement. It was only when spies accidentally discovered that she sent someone to Huangjue Temple to ask the master to replace the person for the wedding, but was stopped by Duke Xie."

Cui Wan scoffed, "Now that Feng Jinyu is seriously ill, he can't handle state affairs, nor can he be the crown prince. The Xie family is naturally unwilling to let Xie Wanyi marry him. Who told them to bring Elder Lu with them to gain credit in front of the emperor? In the end, they lost their own daughter."

Cui Wan glanced at the night outside. "Xie Wanyi will be up and putting on makeup in an hour or two. Is everything ready?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I guarantee they'll have a smooth wedding night tomorrow night."

Cui Wan lowered her eyes. Don’t blame him for being cruel. She has to plan for her youngest son. Feng Jinyu must die!

More than two hours later, Xie Wanyi was pulled up to take a shower and put on makeup...

Feng Jinyu had regained some strength and wanted to go pick him up himself, but Elder Lu wanted him to save his strength for the night. He gave him a few injections, leaving him too weak to stand.

Feng Jinyu had no choice but to give up and let the third prince go to pick up the bride on his behalf.

"Forget about not going to pick her up. My father and mother are coming today. Elder Lu, you must find a way to get me to stand up and marry Miss Xie. You can't let my mother find out that I'm sick!"

The ceremony wouldn't consume much energy, so it wouldn't affect the wedding night. "I'll massage the prince carefully now. Once the Third Prince brings her back, the prince will have the energy to marry Miss Xie!"

Li Yuanliang and Xu Mo looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. They were thinking of skipping the wedding ceremony and going straight to the bridal chamber!

However, the sick queen must not be allowed to see the sick prince.

If the Queen sees the sick prince, his condition may worsen, and Cui Wan will succeed!

If he becomes the queen, won't the second prince make a comeback?

"Your Highness!" The butler came in hurriedly. "The Emperor and the Empress have arrived. They've already gone to the front hall and are sitting on the high table waiting."

Then he turned his head and said to Elder Lu, "The Emperor asked you to think of a way to make sure that the prince appears before the Empress without showing any sign of illness and can get married!"

Half an incense stick later, Feng Jinyu put on her wedding dress and was helped by Xu Mo and Li Yuanliang to sit in a wheelchair. Then Mother Zhang brought in four maids, Zhuyue, Qinglian, Ahu and Chunjiao, to comb Feng Jinyu's hair and put on makeup.

Half an incense stick later, Feng Jinyu looked at herself in the bronze mirror with red lips, white teeth and a rosy face, and couldn't help but sigh!

Women's rouge and powder are truly magical.

Li Yuanliang and others looked at Feng Jinyu after she put on makeup and opened their mouths in shock.

If the prince had not been a little thin, one would have thought that he had never been sick.

"Mother Zhang, my cheeks are a little sunken and not fuller. Try applying more powder!"

"Your Highness, applying more powder won't work. If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can stuff soft dough into your mouth."

"Then bring it here and try it."

When Feng Jinyu personally took the soft dough and stuffed it into his mouth and stuck it on his cheeks, his sunken cheeks were filled up and he looked plump.

"Well, not bad!" Feng Jinyu opened his mouth and found that his voice had changed a little.

Xu Mo hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there's no need to speak during the wedding ceremony. If the Queen asks, just say you caught a cold and your voice has changed."

Feng Jinyu nodded and looked at the time. The wedding procession was about to return, so he signaled Xu Mo and others to push her out of the mansion gate.

Xu Mo quickly mobilized a row of guards to surround Feng Jinyu tightly, blocking the officials who came to the banquet.

Before reaching the gate of the mansion, I heard a burst of firecrackers.

The wedding procession has arrived!

Just as the Third Prince was about to kick the wedding sedan, he saw Feng Jinyu coming out in a wheelchair. He was stunned by his handsome face!

He just went to pick up his bride. Did the eldest prince take some magic pill?

"Big brother, your sister-in-law has been brought back to you."

Xie Wanyi, who was in the bridal sedan chair, was delighted that the prince had come in person.

Soon, the sedan door was gently pushed open, and a pair of large hands with distinct joints stretched out.

Xie Wanyi recognized it as Feng Jinyu's hand at a glance. She had looked at it carefully when they met that day.

Xie Wanyi knew that Feng Jinyu was forcing himself to stay strong, so she quickly extended her hand.

Holding Feng Jinyu's hand, she didn't dare to use force to get out of the bridal sedan.

"Here they come, the eldest prince is here to bring the bride in."

Li Haiying shouted, and all the civil and military officials looked back.

The eldest prince is sick?

This doesn't look like it!
