"That's right, the news of this marriage has spread! The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a family of iron-willed military men, and the young general is young and promising!"

"I heard that the young lady was personally rewarded with many things by the Queen. She is so glorious!"

Everyone's discussions spread into the carriage, but Su Jinyue sat quietly, holding the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal veil on her knees with both hands. She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was tense as a string.

She knew that this wedding was not just a union of two people, but also a chess game of power struggle between the court and the harem.

And she happens to be the key piece on the chessboard.

When we arrived at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, it was already decorated with lights and the room was full of guests.

The Duke of Zhenguo personally stood at the door to greet them. When he saw Su Jinyue's sedan chair slowly stop, he smiled and called out repeatedly, "Welcome the bride!"

Xiao Duo was dressed in wedding clothes and looked extraordinarily handsome. He stood in the hall, gazing at Su Jinyue through the veil, his eyes full of tenderness.

The MC sang loudly: "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Su Jinyue and Xiao Duo slowly turned around and saluted towards the heaven and earth.

There were whispers among the crowd.

"This young general from the Duke's Mansion and the eldest daughter from the Marquis' Mansion are truly a match made in heaven!"

"I heard that the young general has been in love with Miss Su for a long time, and now he finally got what he wanted."

"Two bows to the parents!"

Xiao Duo supported Su Jinyue and walked step by step to the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife, and they both bowed together.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo held Su Jinyue's hand with a loving look on her face, "Good child, from now on, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is your home."

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Jinyue lowered her head slightly and saluted towards Xiao Duo, and Xiao Duo returned the salute with a wider bow.

The sky was flying outside, and Su Jinyue could see a little of Xiao Duo's eyebrows. At this moment, her heart suddenly began to beat fast.

After the ceremony, Su Jinyue was sent to the bridal chamber.

As the door closed, the room became quiet and the flickering red candles filled the room with a layer of warmth.

A moment later, Xiao Duo pushed the door open and opened the veil holding a red silk scarf.

Su Jinyue looked up at him in surprise, "Why are you the only one coming in? Shouldn't there be other people watching over the handkerchief selection?"

Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue, his eyes full of tenderness, "I know you don't like crowds, and I don't want to ask them to come in and bother you, so I came here by myself."

He looked at Su Jinyue and said in a gentle voice: "Jinyue, from today on, you are my wife. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked at him, and said softly: "If you and I walk together, we will definitely overcome all obstacles."

Xiao Duo nodded and handed her a cup of wine, and they both drank it.

When the atmosphere was warm and cozy, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

"Major General, something bad has happened!" A personal soldier reported outside the door, "Someone has come from the palace and wants to see you immediately!"

Xiao Duo's face changed slightly, he looked at Su Jinyue, and whispered: "Your Majesty knows that I am getting married today. If there is nothing important, he will definitely not come to look for me."

Su Jinyue said softly: "You go and deal with it, I will wait for news in the new house."

Xiao Duo nodded, straightened his clothes, turned around and walked out of the bridal chamber.

The main hall of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

A commander of the Imperial Guards wearing a flying fish uniform bowed and said, "General Xiao, the Emperor has ordered you to come to the palace to see him immediately."

Xiao Duo frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Today is the day of my wedding. What happened in the palace that requires such an urgent summons?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards replied in a low voice: "I don't know either, I only know that it was an urgent summons from His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo also stepped forward and patted Xiao Duo on the shoulder: "Duo'er, since the emperor has summoned you, you must enter the palace immediately. I will arrange for someone to take care of Jin Yue."

Xiao Duo knew that this matter was of great importance, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, father."

When he turned around and was about to leave, he saw Su Jinyue slowly walking towards him. She was wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal gown and was looking at Xiao Duo.

"I know you have to go, but no matter what happens, I will wait for you to come back."

Xiao Duo looked at her deeply and said solemnly: "Jin Yue, I will be back as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked away quickly.

Su Jinyue stood in front of the door, watching his back disappear, but a feeling of uneasiness welled up in her heart.

At the same time, in the palace.

In the imperial study, several important ministers were discussing in low voices, while the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, Xiao Duo walked into the hall and bowed, "Your Highness, I am Xiao Duo, here to see you."

The emperor waved his hand, motioning him to excuse himself, and looked at him with a headache, "Xiao Duo, I summoned you to the palace today because I just received a secret report that the prince was seriously injured in Western Xinjiang!"

Xiao Duo was shocked and his expression changed slightly, but he tried to remain calm and asked, "Does the emperor have any detailed information? How is the injury of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The emperor sighed, "The secret report said that the situation is critical, but the specific details have not yet been ascertained. I know that today is your wedding day, but this matter is of no small importance. I need you to set off immediately to the Western Frontier to investigate the true situation and escort the prince back to the capital safely."

The important officials in the hall also echoed: "General, you are young and promising, this mission is best for you."

"Yes, General Xiao is highly skilled in martial arts and is familiar with the customs of Western Frontier. I think he will be able to fulfill his mission."

Xiao Duo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he firmly cupped his hands and replied: "I accept your order. I will live up to your trust and do my best to escort the prince back."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "I trust you. This operation must be kept secret. Do not alert the enemy."

"Yes, I understand."

When he left the imperial study, it was already late at night. He could not help but quicken his pace and return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as soon as possible.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Jinyue was still waiting anxiously in the bridal chamber. When she heard footsteps outside, she immediately went out to greet them.

Seeing Xiao Duo coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and held Xiao Duo's arm, "Is there anything important in the palace?"

Xiao Duo gently held her hand and sighed, "The Emperor ordered me to rush to Western Xinjiang immediately to deal with the injury of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Jinyue's expression changed slightly, "The Crown Prince is injured? Does the Queen know about this? What has she done?"

"The Queen probably doesn't know about this yet, but she will know after some time.

Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue worriedly and said, "After I leave the capital, you will be the only one left in the capital."

"I'm worried that the Queen will attack you at this time."

Su Jinyue's eyes darkened. "If she was smart, she wouldn't have taken action at this time."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Duo went forward and opened the door. It was someone from the mansion who brought the news, and he gave Xiao Duo a letter.

After closing the door, Xiao Duo unfolded the letter and read it, his eyes becoming darker and darker.

Xiao Duo frowned and said to Su Jinyue, "It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought. I have to leave now."

He glanced at the moonlight outside the window, and then looked at Su Jinyue. Although he was reluctant, he still said, "I should go now. I'll leave the capital to you. Miss Ruan and Qin Qiong will take care of you."

Su Jinyue nodded, "The owner of Xiaoyao Tower is here. He won't just sit there and watch me get into trouble. After all, I still have a trump card in my hand."
