Chapter 1 Killed on the Wedding Night
"Kill her."
"Gu Lintan, this princess orders you to kill her!"
The woman was wearing a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, and her petite face was cold and beautiful even under her heavy makeup. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were wide open, her white teeth were biting her slightly trembling lips, and she was giving cold orders to the man and woman kneeling on the ground.
Jiang Xue, the princess of the dynasty, the eldest daughter of the emperor and empress, the glory of the dynasty, the pride of heaven, has been regarded as the jewel in the palm of her hand since she was a child. And the consort carefully selected by the emperor and empress, the newly crowned number one scholar of the dynasty, the ideal husband in the eyes of everyone, turned out to be——
He actually already has a wife!
The dragon and phoenix candles in the house were fluttering and swaying, and suddenly there was a crackling sound.
When candle flowers burst, good things are coming.
But the explosions at this moment seemed to be a mockery of Jiang Xue. Look, even if you are born into a wealthy family, even if you are blessed by countless people, you still ended up marrying a heartless man.
You, Jiang Xue, are ultimately unworthy of finding a good match.
The woman on the ground was trembling with tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, she crawled to her feet, tugged at her skirt and begged desperately.
"Princess, calm down! Princess, my husband and I have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep affection for each other. Please forgive me, Princess. I am willing to be your slave or concubine. I only ask that you fulfill our wish. I will never dare to fight with you in the future!"
Jiang Xue stared at the woman at her feet. This was her husband's original wife. She had a delicate face, and her tearful eyes made her look even more charming.
Wow, what a deep feeling.
Then what is Jiang Xue? A wicked woman who steals someone's husband and destroys someone's marriage?
Did he want her to follow the hierarchy of the court and follow the order of first come first served, so that she could wash her hands and become his concubine? Would he want her to lose face in the imperial family and turn a dignified princess into a laughing stock?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xue became even more angry. She stretched out her white arm and casually pulled out the long sword from the sword stand. The sword pointed at the silent man on the ground.
"Gu Lintan, I want to ask you, are you going to kill this woman or not?"
Gu Lintan closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists, and didn't dare to look at her, as if he couldn't bear it.
With Jiang Xue's personality, she would never tolerate two female colleagues with one husband, nor would she tolerate betrayal and deception.
But right now, none of this matters. The most important thing is the princess's reputation and the royal family's reputation.
If this matter were to become known, it would be a disgrace to the royal family.
Jiang Xue originally thought that if Gu Lintan killed this woman today and buried this matter forever, she could save her reputation as a princess and also keep his Gu family rich.
As for the future, she has her own ways to slowly deal with these bastards who deceive the emperor and are greedy for wealth and fame.
However, looking at him, he seemed reluctant.
"Okay," Jiang Xue suddenly chuckled, then turned and stared at Gu Lintan fiercely, anger and hatred pouring out like blood.
"Alright! Then let me report to my father tomorrow that you, Gu Lintan, are already married and do not know the crime of deceiving the emperor. Your Gu family..." She lowered the tip of the sword slightly and placed it against his chin.
"I wonder how many people in your Gu family are there, and how many lives they have, that can withstand the wrath of the emperor?"
Gu Lintan just woke up from his dream at this moment. He opened his eyes with cloudy eyes and slowly looked up at Jiang Xue.
He then stood up, took the hilt of the sword from Jiang Xue's hand, and looked at his pitiful wife lying on the ground with a complicated expression.
The woman trembled, screamed and roared, tugging at his sleeves, begging desperately, "Husband, husband, no! Husband! Chuan'er, Chuan'er is only three years old, he can't be without his mother, husband!"
Chuan'er, three years old.
Jiang Xue seemed to be struck by thunder, and there was a moment of silence. Who was Chuan'er?
Could it be that her son-in-law already has a three-year-old child?
He was stunned for just a moment, but saw the man in front of him turn the sword and cut his own arm.
Jiang Xue didn't have time to be surprised. The sword turned again and pierced her chest and abdomen in an instant. She only felt a sharp pain. The figure in front of her eyes gradually blurred, and Gu Lintan's voice came to her ears:
"I know you, Princess. Even if I do as you wish today, you will never let me go in the future, considering your stubborn character."
"In that case, please go on your way, Princess. Tonight, there was a rebellion on the long street, they broke into the Gu Mansion and killed Her Royal Highness the Princess by mistake. I was also seriously injured while protecting the Princess."
"Someone come, there is an assassin, protect the princess..."
Gu Lintan's screams were in her ears, and she couldn't bear the severe pain. She couldn't breathe, and her body slowly slid down. The voices in her ears were getting farther and farther away, and the figure was getting more and more blurred.
Her beautiful eyes slowly closed, and her consciousness seemed to fall to the bottom of the sea.
“Boom—”
A sharp thunderclap sounded, and Jiang Xue suddenly opened her eyes, with some tear marks in the corners of her eyes.
What catches the eye are the twin candles of dragon and phoenix, the bright lights, and the room covered in red and colorful decorations.
She was sitting alone on the wedding bed in the room. The groom had not returned to the room yet. The surroundings were quiet, with occasional small popping sounds from the lights.
She wiped away her tears and closed her eyes in deep thought.
Is this a dream?
But why was this dream so real, so real that it frightened her.
She raised her hands to cover her chest. The long sword in the dream had pierced this place coldly. Now the pain seemed to come again. She covered her chest tightly and frowned.
Gu Lintan pushed the door open and saw the beautiful woman holding her heart, seeming to be in extreme pain.
He quickly stepped forward and gently held Jiang Xue's arm.
Jiang Xue was like a frightened bird. She immediately moved her arm away and looked into Gu Lintan's eyes warily.
Gu Lintan was a little confused. What happened to Jiang Xue? Did she find out... Impossible, absolutely impossible.
He asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to invite a doctor to take a look?"
Jiang Xue thought of the long sword, the cold blade, and the cold light in Gu Lintan's eyes when he stabbed her...
If it was a dream, why was it so real, causing her to feel pain and shock again and again?
Even if it wasn't a dream, Gu Lintan was still the handsome young man who was the top scholar in the imperial examination. His concern didn't seem fake. Was she going to suspect her new husband just because of a dream?
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Gu Lintan was puzzled and reached out to hold Jiang Xue's arm again, calling her softly.
Jiang Xue came back to her senses, calmed her thoughts, smiled gently, and said, "Prince Consort, maybe I didn't get enough rest in the past few days, so I was a little depressed just now. I feel better now, so there is no need to call the doctor."
The princess of the current dynasty had an unparalleled beauty, and there had always been rumors about her. But when he saw her smile, Gu Lintan couldn't help but stare at her in amazement.
The lotus is not as beautiful as the beauty's makeup, the wind blows through the water palace and the pearls and jade are fragrant. Such a beauty deserves to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Your Highness has been exhausted from the wedding recently. I will have a doctor come to your house tomorrow to take your pulse and treat your condition."
Gu Lintan held her hand and thought to himself that she was indeed a beauty with a skin as white as ice and a body as beautiful as jade.
He took her up and walked to the dragon and phoenix wedding candles. There were two cups and fine wine on the round table in the room. He poured the wine into the cups and handed one to Jiang Xue. He said in a gentle voice, "We will drink the cups together and be together forever. How about your highness drink it all with me?"
Jiang Xue did not reach out to take it, but suddenly sat down and stared straight into Gu Lintan's eyes.
"Prince Consort, are you really devoted to me? For the rest of your life, I am the only one for you?"
