Imperial Capital 43. The most unlucky wedding in history (Part 2)
In the garden of Prince Li's mansion, Hua Tianxiang was walking and talking with Ye Li when suddenly a tall figure appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
"Your Highness Prince Li, what can I do for you?" Hua Tianxiang stood in front of Ye Li and raised her beautiful face to ask. Ever since the incident at Chuxiang Pavilion, Hua Tianxiang's favorable impression of His Highness Prince Li has been declining sharply, and is now close to negative. Seeing Mo Jingli appear in front of the two of them with a bad look, she just thought that he wanted to cause trouble for Ye Li. Mo Jingli frowned unhappily, "I'm not looking for you." Hua Tianxiang said bluntly, "Shouldn't Your Highness be greeting guests now? This garden is mostly filled with female relatives from various mansions. It may be inconvenient for Your Highness to go in and out. Even if Your Highness doesn't care about his reputation, at least he should be more considerate of others."
"I have something to say to Ye Li, please move aside." Mo Jingli said impatiently.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Li'er can hear you." Hua Tianxiang said.
Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes dangerously, "I said get out of the way!"
Hua Tianxiang wanted to say something, but Ye Li stopped her, "Tianxiang, go check if Murong and the others have arrived. I'll be there in a minute."
"But..." Hua Tianxiang glanced at Mo Jingli worriedly. Ye Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiu Yao will come to me after he finishes talking to Madam Hua." Hearing this, Hua Tianxiang playfully blinked at Ye Li and said teasingly, "Xiu... Yao... Okay, I'll go find Murong. You... be careful." After that, she gave Mo Jingli a warning look before waving at Ye Li and turning away. Seeing Hua Tianxiang's rare childish behavior, Ye Li was amused and moved. Hua Tianxiang is a lady from a well-off family who really knows the big picture. If it weren't for herself, she would never take the initiative to provoke Mo Jingli. Looking at Hua Tianxiang's leaving back, Mo Jingli's originally gloomy face seemed to be dripping with ink.
When Hua Tianxiang disappeared in the garden, Ye Li put away the smile on her face and turned to look at Mo Jingli, "What do you want to say, Lord?"
"Ye Li, you're great!" Mo Jingli gritted his teeth.
Ye Li looked Mo Jingli up and down, still speaking in a gentle and carefree manner, "I don't understand what the prince is talking about."
"Humph! Do you think I will just let go of what happened last night?" Mo Jingli stared at her and sneered.
"I thought... it's not your turn to say this." He had someone kidnap her to commit adultery, but now it seemed as if she had done something to let him down? What was wrong with this world? Ye Li couldn't help but wonder.
"Do you want to take revenge on me?" Mo Jingli sneered disdainfully.
That's not necessary. If it's not a big deal, I'll take revenge on the spot. "If the prince has nothing to do, Ye Li will take her leave."
"Stop!" Mo Jingli shouted angrily, grabbing Ye Li and pushing her behind the rockery. Ye Li looked down at the hand holding her wrist, and then her face darkened, "Your Highness Prince Li, please respect yourself!"
"Self-respect?" Mo Jingli sneered disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? You are nothing more than a woman that this king doesn't want. Do you think that just marrying Mo Xiuyao will do you any good? Tell me...if someone comes and sees you now, would you still have the face to marry Mo Xiuyao? Or would even that rubbish Mo Xiuyao dislike you?"
Ye Li's half-lidded eyes flashed with a hint of danger, "Your Highness Prince Li, please let me go."
"What can I do if I don't let you go?" Mo Jingli sneered, looking at the delicate woman in front of him as if he was looking at a bird trapped in a cage. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the woman in front of him, who seemed delicate and graceful, was actually a falcon that could devour people. Ye Li raised the corners of her lips slightly, "How about it? Like this!" The other free hand quickly and powerfully grabbed Mo Jingli's arm, and a little force caused a burst of piercing pain. Before Mo Jingli could react, he was thrown to the ground sideways. What was even more unfortunate was that because the two of them were standing under the rockery, the back of Mo Jingli's head hit the rockery and he fainted on the spot. Ye Li had not expected such a situation to happen, so she immediately withdrew her attack from behind, leaned over to check on Mo Jingli's condition and found that he was not seriously injured, then stood up and kicked him a few times to relieve her anger. Her previous career made her more familiar with the human body structure than most people, so she naturally knew better how to make a person more painful without leaving scars.
After calming down the anger in her heart, Ye Li couldn't help but frown. It was not a good thing to knock Prince Li unconscious in Prince Li's mansion, especially on the day of Prince Li's wedding. But it was not an unexplainable trouble. After taking a look at the unconscious person on the ground, Ye Li calmly stepped over the obstacle and walked out calmly.
After leaving the rockery and passing through two bends, I saw Hua Tianxiang and Murong Ting waiting there with worried faces. Seeing Ye Li coming over, I hurriedly went to greet her, "A Li, are you okay? Did King Li do anything to you?" Murong Ting anxiously grabbed Ye Li and asked.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Look, I'm fine, right? What can he do to me in broad daylight?"
Murong Ting smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was wrong, but you'd better stay away from Prince Li."
Hua Tianxiang nodded in agreement and asked curiously, "How come you finished so quickly?"
Ye Li spread her hands and said, "There's nothing to say in the first place."
"Let's not talk about these spoilsport people, let's go sit down and have some tea. I really envy Zheng'er. Lord Qin never forces Zheng'er to attend a banquet she doesn't like."
Ye Li nodded, and joined hands with the two of them to go to the crowded area in front.
The wedding was held as scheduled, which made the slightly awkward wedding due to missing the auspicious time for the bride finally have a happy ending, if one could ignore the face of His Royal Highness Prince Li, who looked more like he was attending a funeral. Ye Li sat next to Hua Tianxiang and saw Mo Xiuyao looking at her with a smile in his eyes. Then his eyes turned to Mo Jingli, who was walking side by side with Hongyi and Ye Ying, and the smile in his eyes deepened. Almost immediately, Ye Li knew that Mo Xiuyao must have known what happened to Mo Jingli in the afternoon. But looking at Mo Xiuyao's eyes, Ye Li felt that things might not be over yet.
So, when the ceremony was halfway through, the MC shouted "couple bowing" and then the groom fell to the ground with a thud, Ye Li was not surprised at all. Instead, she felt that it was as expected. At this moment, Ye Li absolutely believed that Mo Jingli probably didn't want to hold a wedding again in this life. Anyone who fainted three times within less than twelve hours before and after the wedding would have a certain shadow on the wedding.
"How...how could this happen?" Murong Ting was so surprised that she almost couldn't close her mouth.
Hua Tianxiang was equally stunned. "This..." She didn't know what to say. In fact, she began to feel a little sympathetic towards Ye Ying. The wedding was held at the wrong time, and the groom fainted during the wedding...
"Huh...Ari, King Li is in such poor health. Fortunately..."
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. It was Concubine Xian Zhao who reacted quickly and had the bride and groom sent back to their rooms, while asking for the imperial physician. The groom fainted, but the wedding banquet had to continue, but the guests had lost their appetite. The ladies speculated on the real reason why Prince Li fainted, while thinking about the latest gossip that would appear in the capital tomorrow. Ye Li mentally deduced the consequences of making Mo Jingli faint in the afternoon, and felt that there was no big problem, so she enjoyed the delicious food with Hua Tianxiang and Murong Ting at ease. When she saw a man in an inconspicuous corner who was smiling smugly and toasting her, she nodded slightly in return. This wedding... is really interesting.
