Chapter 308: Big Wedding Changes
In a blink of an eye, we spent the New Year happily.
Gu Huan had no time to take care of other things during this period, as everyone in the mansion was busy preparing for the wedding of Zhou Zhilan and Zhou Chunyu.
After the martial arts competition, their relationship suddenly became clear, but Zhou Chunyu and Gu Huan both felt that they had to give Zhou Zhilan the most perfect wedding, so they asked Min Dongsheng to calculate an auspicious date three months later.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunyu's zodiac sign was in conflict with theirs. For the sake of this pair of mandarin ducks who had gone through so much trouble to be together, Gu Huan discussed with them and decided that she would rather wait another year.
The best auspicious day is January 15th.
This day.
The sun sets.
The Yong Palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and there was a constant stream of traffic in front of the gate and guests coming and going happily.
Zhou Chunyu was a young general trained by the old Duke, and later became Mu Junyan's most capable deputy general.
When he was in the Mu family army, his combat record was second only to Mu Junyan.
After Zhou Chunyu's parents passed away, Zhou Zhilan's parents adopted him and loved him like their own son.
She and Zhou Chunyu were childhood sweethearts and had shared hardships together. Their parents arranged a marriage for them. They were indeed a rare pair of lovers who shared hardships.
Gu Huan formally acknowledged Zhou Zhilan as her sworn sister in public, and with Mu Junyan personally taking care of the event, all the prominent people in Southern Xinjiang came to congratulate her.
Generals from the Mu family army who were familiar with Zhou Chunyu also came.
For a time, the originally large Prince Yong's Mansion was packed with people.
Gu Huan bought a three-courtyard house across the street for the young couple to facilitate their daily entry and exit of the palace.
When Zhou Zhilan got married as a daughter of the Mu family, banquets were set up on both sides of the wedding banquet, and all the gifts were taken to Prince Yong's mansion and became the bride's dowry.
At this moment, Zhou Chunyu was trying to break down the door with the ceremonial procession to pick up the bride.
The generals accompanied the groom and solved the women's problems one by one. They coaxed and deceived the group of girls, but the girls had to follow Gu Huan's instructions and could not let the groom in easily.
Seeing the auspicious time, Zhou Chunyu, who had always been mature and steady, jumped up and down anxiously and bowed personally.
"My aunts, please let me in. It would be bad for Zhilan if the auspicious time is too late, right?"
Donghua folded her arms and raised her head: "That's not what it means. The princess has ordered that if the groom can't answer the question, please go back and come back another day to marry."
Zhou Chunyu complained and quickly signaled to his attendants: "Hurry up and give each of the girls a big gift."
The followers laughed and took out heavy purses and handed them over.
Donghua took the cushion and said, "Oh, Manager Zhou is usually very stingy, but you are generous this time?"
Zhou Chunyu smiled apologetically: "Marrying a wife is a must, can you please give me some convenience?"
The young generals around him started to make a fuss.
"Miss Donghua, just let her go. Look how anxious the groom is. A bride is worth a thousand gold coins."
"Miss Donghua, if you do a good deed this time, we won't make things difficult for your groom when you get married. How about that?"
Donghua's face turned red, and she was about to retort when the young officers rushed over.
The girls were shy and the door was broken open.
The young generals rushed into the gate with Zhou Chunyu and suddenly saw the bride standing in the middle of the yard.
Zhou Zhilan did not hold the fan, revealing a delicate face, and smiled as she looked at Zhou Chunyu, who was wearing a red robe and looked a little disheveled.
It was also the first time that Zhou Chunyu saw Zhou Zhilan so exquisite and elegant.
Green skirt, red skirt, white butterfly flying through the flowers, so lifelike.
Gu Huan smiled and signaled the matchmaker to start the ceremony.
Zhou Chunyu stepped forward and stretched out his hands, and Zhou Zhilan placed her hands in his big palms.
Zhou Chunyu moved closer excitedly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I finally married you."
Zhou Zhilan, who was usually cheerful, blushed.
After the bride was taken to the new house, the banquet began.
In order to prevent Zhou Chunyu from drinking too much, Mu Junyan personally brought a group of young generals to protect him and block the alcohol for him.
The people who make trouble at the wedding will not stop until the beginning of the hour of Hai.
Gu Huan ordered that no one was allowed to make trouble in the bridal chamber. Zhou Chunyu, still a little drunk, arrived at the door of the bridal chamber nervously.
The maids and servants were also allowed to attend the banquet, but they disappeared for fear of disturbing them.
Zhou Chunyu's heart was pounding and he was extremely nervous.
I put my ear to the crack of the door and listened, but there was no sound from inside.
Could it be that Zhilan was too tired and fell asleep first?
"Zhilan, I'm coming in."
Zhou Chunyu gently pushed the door open and looked around, but there was no one.
But he was sensitive enough to smell the scent of someone else.
Men to be exact!
He suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly walked around the screen into the inner room.
As soon as he walked to the door of the inner room, he saw Zhou Zhilan's maid tied up, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, a bloody hole in her head, and she was dying.
He was so scared that he quickly lifted the bead curtain. The room was in a mess, but Zhou Zhilan was nowhere to be seen.
"Zhilan!"
Zhou Chunyu was shocked and looked everywhere hurriedly, but still no one was there.
After a fight in the house, it must have been that someone tried to abduct Zhilan and she resisted.
He quickly untied the maid while shouting outside.
The people outside heard what happened and rushed in, and were shocked at what they saw.
"Is this an accident?"
Zhou Chunyu was so anxious that he glared with bloodshot eyes: "Hurry up and report to the prince and princess, call the doctor of the Sun Mansion over, and ask the dean of nursing staff to come over!"
For a moment, there was a chaos of people and horses.
Mu Junyan, Gu Huan and the Sun family doctor rushed over.
The injured maid had regained consciousness and started crying when she saw Zhou Chunyu: "Madam, Madam has been kidnapped by the Dali people!"
"From Dali?"
Gu Huan exclaimed, "But why did they want to arrest Zhilan?"
Mu Junyan ordered: "Go and call Chi Yan over."
Zhou Chunyu's hands were shaking, and the knuckles of his hands gripping the table turned white. "Are you sure you are from Dali?"
The doctor of the Sun Mansion was cleaning the wound on her head. The maid frowned in pain and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Indeed, it is. Moreover, he was wearing a short curved sword, and the pattern inlaid on the scabbard is the one used by the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang."
Chi Yan and Chi Yu rushed over together and just heard what the maid said. Seeing Zhou Chunyu who was almost collapsed, their faces darkened.
Chi Yan frowned, "They haven't made any moves recently. Why did they suddenly take action?"
Gu Huan asked in confusion, "But Duan Yu said he would stand with us, why would he do such a thing?"
Mu Junyan's face was gloomy: "Check!"
Chi Yan nodded: "Yes."
He immediately turned around and went out with his men, searching for clues thoroughly while interrogating the servants in the yard.
Gu Huan thought about it, pulled Mu Junyan's sleeve, and the two walked out the door.
"How about asking Xuanxuan to check over there as well?"
"Okay. I'll send a pigeon to deliver the letter."
Zhou Chunyu suddenly stood up and rushed out like crazy.
He was grabbed by Mu Junyan: "Where are you going?"
He struggled hard: "I'll go find someone! Zhilan doesn't know what's going to happen yet!"
Gu Huan was also extremely anxious, thinking back to when she was kidnapped. If she hadn't desperately begged for a way to live, and if Mu Junyan hadn't arrived in time, she might have lost her innocence and wouldn't have wanted to live anymore.
This is why we must find the right direction, otherwise it will delay saving lives.
"Calm down first and see what Chiyan has found. Looking for it aimlessly will only delay things."
Zhou Chunyu looked at Gu Huan and burst into tears: "It's my fault. I delayed Zhilan and hurt her!"
"Let's not talk about this for now." Gu Huan stopped him with red eyes.
Turning back to look at the maid, she said, "Tell me the whole process in detail."
Mu Junyan and his men knew that the enemy had been lurking in secret.
Wang Heng has been active in southern Xinjiang. The palace of Bian Jing is in turmoil, and the Mu family army has been on high alert.
But they never expected that someone would take action at Zhou Chunyu and Zhou Zhilan's wedding.
Besides, what purpose would it serve to arrest Zhou Zhilan?
Gu Huan was puzzled.
