Not long after, Hua Mancheng arrived at the Jing Prince's Mansion. He searched the study and Feiyu Courtyard extensively but couldn't find a single person. Finally, he found Mu Beichen lying on the bed in Fuxi Courtyard, his face pale and ashen.
Startled, he paused at the doorway and hurriedly ran over to ask Lingzhi, "Achen... what's wrong with him?"
Thinking of Feng Jin's previous fall to his death, Ling Zhi still had tears on her face. She hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, "The prince was poisoned by the regent while trying to save the princess, and now he is probably not long for this world."
Hua Mancheng took out a crystal-clear pill from his person and personally fed it into Mu Beichen's mouth. His face was solemn as he sighed, "This is the Hundred Refined Fragrance Pill left by my master. It is said to be able to cure all poisons. Although it is not yet certain whether it can cure this poison, it can at least temporarily control the spread of the poison."
Soon after, Mu Beichen woke up and immediately noticed Hua Mancheng's presence. He quickly sat up straight and exclaimed, "Hua Mancheng? Where have you been lately?"
"I..." Thinking of certain things, Hua Mancheng hesitated, his expression complicated. Then, he quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that now. I have good news for you. Actually, the Princess Consort is not dead. She is currently in Jianglan Kingdom..."
Mu Beichen jumped out of bed with a start, suddenly interrupting Hua Mancheng's words. His expression began to change unpredictably, and his disordered mind and out-of-control emotions caused his voice to tremble strongly as he spoke next.
You mean...she's still alive?
Is this true?
“I just received definite news. It is said that the princess is in Jianglan Kingdom and will soon become the crown princess…” Before Hua Mancheng could finish speaking, he noticed Mu Beichen’s unusual expression. He patted his chest and promised with great enthusiasm, “Achen, you should rest up tonight. I will accompany you to Jianglan Kingdom to rescue the princess first thing tomorrow morning.”
Mu Beichen nodded knowingly, which was his way of responding to his words.
The next day arrived, the day of Su Yu and Feng Jin's wedding. It caused a stir among the royal families and the general public of the Five Continents, and many princes and noblemen came to Jiang Lan Kingdom to watch the excitement.
The entire imperial city was filled with onlookers. Before the wedding even began, some people were trampled to death by the surging crowd. The wedding caused unprecedented chaos, and even the imperial guards had to come out to maintain order and prevent any harm to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
The next morning, as dawn broke, a time when one should be sleeping in, Feng Jin was greeted by the Emperor's men and brought to the palace early in the morning.
The magnificent palace of Jianglan Kingdom was glittering with towering and majestic buildings. Feng Jin was led by the emperor's men as she walked through it. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and sigh inwardly at the wealth and grandeur of Jianglan Kingdom.
Upon entering the Golden Palace, she saw a middle-aged man in the distance, wearing a crown and a dragon robe, sitting proudly on a high seat. Because of the beaded curtain covering his face, Feng Jin could not see his features clearly.
Even though she hadn't seen the emperor's face, she felt an invisible pressure in her heart, and she became nervous and at a loss. Since waking up in this very unfamiliar place, this was the first time she had felt the exclusive majesty of an emperor.
She stood there for a while, then slightly raised her eyelashes and met the gazes of the civil and military officials. She was even more nervous and shocked. She bit her lower lip and was about to turn and run away when she unexpectedly felt her wrist being tightly grasped by a warm and strong hand.
Startled, she turned around and saw Su Yu's handsome face full of smiles. Her wildly beating heart immediately calmed down. Under the sleeves that others could not see, he and she held hands and slowly entered the palace.
Feng Jin held a colorful feather fan in her other hand and strode forward with Su Yu by her arm.
At this moment, Su Yu was dressed in a red robe and his hair was tied up with an exquisite crown. He looked at her with deep affection. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a jade beaded curtain covering her face. She was also dressed in a red brocade robe. Her beautiful curves moved gently with her steady steps.
For a fleeting moment, Su Yu suddenly saw a smile in the eyes of the woman walking beside him. That smile was like thousands of stars falling from the sky to all things in the world, bright as the moon, shining alone.
Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials standing on both sides of the hall, he and she knelt down, looking at the emperor who stood high above them, and said in unison, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty..."
