After Gu Yun got off the car, his eyes turned to the frightened horses.
At the same time, a small hand as slender as jade slowly stretched out from the bead curtain behind him.
Just as the jade hand was about to rest on Gu Yun's shoulder, Gu Yun, whether intentionally or unintentionally, turned around neatly, without even looking at the people in the carriage, and ran straight towards the horse.
He could only withdraw his hand awkwardly and walk down with the help of the palace maid.
The woman had a petite figure, fair skin, almond eyes, cherry lips, and a face the size of a palm. She had the standard appearance of a woman from Fengwu Country, and was very delicate and lovely.
The sunlight shines on her intricate golden crown, reflecting its sharp edge. There is a haughty look between her brows, with a nobleness that looks down on everything.
The moment she appeared, all the people around her knelt down and shouted, "Long live Her Majesty!"
Xie Ling and Gu Wei also knelt down.
The Queen nodded: "No need to be polite."
Gu Wei used ice spikes and controlled the strength very accurately.
The horses were only frightened but not injured.
The weather was hot and the ice spikes had long since turned into a pool of water, leaving no trace.
Gu Yun took a look and his eyes were indifferent, as if he was casually scanning the people around him.
A dark light flashed across his eyes, and he stood up and said calmly: "Perhaps the weather is too hot and the horses were frightened. Let the guards get horses from Yanshi first, and walk out of the city for the time being."
The empress heard this and her eyebrows were raised. She was furious. "This is my wedding day. How can the horse-feeding officials do their job? I will kill them all when I get back!"
A hint of slight disapproval flashed across Gu Yun's brows.
However, his expression remained calm. "The hot weather has nothing to do with the horse breeders. Your Majesty, please do not say such unlucky words on such a happy day."
"Okay." The queen agreed very quickly. Her expression changed instantly. She moved closer to Gu Yun, put her arms around his, and leaned against him like a little bird. "Whatever the emperor says is what it is."
Gu Yun lowered his eyes, looked at the woman's golden hair, and gently brushed away her hand that was leaning against him. "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."
The Queen snorted coquettishly, "Ah Zhan, why are you exactly like those old-fashioned tutors? They just want to stick to you."
Gu Yun stood tall and straight like a pine tree, remaining silent.
The queen finally compromised, stood beside him, took the palace maid's fan to cover her face, and walked towards the city gate step by step.
The ceremonial music continued to play and colorful flowers floated in the sky.
But this time, the people did not dare to make loud noises. They all watched the Queen's team go away quietly.
Because the emperor's temperament was too cold, his eyebrows were sharp, and his lips were pursed. He didn't look like he was getting married, but rather like he was going to the battlefield.
The Queen, on the other hand, smiled with her eyebrows curved and her oval face filled with happiness and sweetness.
The two people standing together formed a sharp contrast.
Although the people dared not speak out, they were all thinking, can the empress be happy? The emperor's husband seemed reluctant...
Gu Wei and Xie Ling followed all the way.
Gu Wei’s expression became more and more solemn.
"Brother cares about the family and cherishes his sister-in-law. It is impossible for him to waste three years away from home and marry someone else. He must have been coerced."
Xie Ling frowned, "Is it possible that he has lost his memory?"
Gu Wei groaned, "It's possible. But given my brother's personality, even if he loses his memory, he won't marry anyone casually.
Ah Ling, there must be something hidden in this. I want to stay for a few days to investigate this matter and bring my brother home. "
Xie Ling nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, hugged Xie Ling into his arms, and rubbed the top of her head.
"A Ling is so nice. I'll run back and tell Master first. You follow the Queen's procession out. I'll come find you later."
Xie Ling: “Okay”
The two of them parted for a while.
Soon, the large group arrived at the city gate.
The people of Yanshi reluctantly bid farewell to the empress.
Xie Ling followed from a distance behind and left the city.
After a while, Gu Wei caught up.
Xie Ling: "What should we do now? Do you have any special way to contact your brother?"
Gu Wei shook his head, "No, let's follow and see first."
After leaving Yanshi, the carriage drove straight into the main road and drove on the wide official road.
The land area of Fengwu Kingdom is small. It only takes three days to travel from Yanshi to the capital Fufeng, including rest.
Most of the palace maids and musicians got into the carriages.
Only the guards and soldiers, still holding swords, guarded the Queen's carriage.
When the mayor of Yanshi heard that the queen's horse was frightened, he immediately dispatched eight horses from the palace and prepared an exquisite and spacious carriage.
At this moment, the queen took off the heavy golden crown on her head and combed her hair into a delicate and noble bun. The golden phoenix behind her head looked lively and the tassels fell on her pretty cheeks, making her look very graceful.
She held her little face in her hands, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with happiness and joy, "When we return to Fufeng, our wedding will be complete. Ah Zhan, you are finally marrying me. I have waited for this day for too long."
The young man in red opposite her was well-mannered and sat straight as a pine tree. Hearing what she said, he opened his cold eyes and glanced at her, then responded, "Yeah."
Endless joy instantly burst out from the Queen's eyes, with some disbelief, and even a little bit at a loss, "Ah Zhan, you, you are happy too?"
After the Queen finished speaking, she raised her voice and repeated, "Are you happy about our wedding?"
Gu Yun lowered his eyes and stared at his right arm, as if he was trying to see something else through the brocade fabric.
He suddenly looked up, and glared at her with a pair of cold, ink-stained eyes. Then his eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes curved slightly, as if the sun broke through the endless ice, and the corners of his lips also showed some genuine happiness.
"Of course I am...happy.
The queen was overwhelmed with happiness.
So he didn't notice the man's low and gloomy tone, and the murderous smile in his eyes.
She covered her face and burst into a scream, like a butterfly, and rushed into Gu Yun's arms, "Ah Zhan! I, I——"
Before she could finish her words, Gu Yun gently blocked her forehead, three inches away from her chest.
The Queen's almond eyes flashed with confusion, "Ah Zhan, you?"
Gu Yun said calmly: "Your Majesty is very beautiful today. If you lean on me, your hair will be messed up."
Hearing Gu Yun praising her beauty, the empress blushed and quickly touched her hair. "Does it look good? I'll ask the palace maid to continue to do this for me tomorrow."
Gu Yun did not reply. He lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the green hills and trees passing by outside the carriage. His cold eyes suddenly narrowed. "Your Majesty, I am a little tired. Let me take a rest."
"good."
After the Queen lifted the curtain and spoke to the soldiers outside, the guards immediately stopped and looked for a suitable place nearby.
Then they cut the grass, spread a thick fluffy blanket, set up the tent, and welcomed the queen to get off the car.
