Lin Jiaoyun's wedding sedan chair has already arrived at the Qin family home. She's about to have her wedding ceremony with Young Master Qin and then be led to the bridal chamber. It's all coming to an end, but where is Zhou Chengren? Where is he?
Emperor Yan felt a buzzing in his head, and the panic that had been forcibly suppressed reappeared.
This time, he could no longer ignore it!
He turned his head with a cold expression, swept his gaze across the assembled ministers, and roared with imposing authority, "This is impossible! Zhou Chengdu has already arrived near the capital, how could he not have come to the capital yet!"
"The Lin family's daughter is about to undergo the wedding ceremony. Once the ceremony is completed, she will be recognized by Heaven and Earth and will be the Qin family's wife! I don't believe Zhou Cheng can sit still."
"Damn it! Where is he?!"
"Could it be that he has already infiltrated the wedding procession? I will go to the wedding ceremony in person! Zhou Cheng will definitely come, he will definitely come!!"
Emperor Yan began to panic.
He felt like he was overlooking something, but because he was so certain that Zhou Cheng would come to save them, he couldn't recall that overlooked detail no matter how hard he tried.
He could only place all his hopes on the fact that Zhou Cheng had already infiltrated the capital through other means...
With a flick of his sleeve, Emperor Yan led his ministers and guards down the city wall in a grand procession toward the brightly decorated Qin family residence.
The eldest princess stood gracefully at the corner, taking in the suppressed and uneasy expression on Emperor Yan's face. She glanced at the endless official road outside the city, which was deserted.
No one was walking.
Zhou Cheng was nowhere to be seen.
It's almost noon.
"As soon as the time comes, Lin Jiaoyun will marry the Qin family's young master."
"Zhou Cheng, will you come?"
Will you come to the capital to rescue Lin Jiaoyun?
"In order to capture you alive, Father Emperor mobilized more than 100,000 elite troops to the capital and even forged an inch of shield and armor, just waiting for you to come and steal the bride. You arrived near the capital several days ago."
"They must be here for Lin Jiaoyun, right? Is that possible?"
The eldest princess gazed at the empty, deserted official road and murmured to herself.
She wasn't sure what she was thinking; she seemed to want Zhou Cheng to come to the capital, but at the same time, she didn't really want him to.
It seemed that he wanted his father to capture Zhou Cheng alive, but he was also worried that Zhou Cheng would fall into his father's hands.
In short!
The eldest princess was deeply conflicted; she didn't even know what she was hoping for. Lately, she'd been constantly distracted, replaying scenes she shouldn't have. Had she lost her mind...?
"Da da da—"
"Da da da—"
Sudden!
The clear sound of horses' hooves echoed outside the city.
The princess's heart suddenly leaped into her throat. With her heart pounding, she immediately ran to the city wall and looked out.
Reflected in her pupils was a cavalryman, his face filled with anxiety as he spurred his horse, clutching a sealed letter, galloping toward the city gate at top speed.
"Thump thump thump..." The princess's heart raced. She stared intently at the secret letter, and for some reason, she suddenly became nervous.
Zhou Cheng had only met her once!
After that meeting, the two never saw each other again!
But why is she so concerned about Zhou Cheng's affairs?
"Shouldn't this be news from Zhou Cheng at this time?"
"Is he on his way to the capital with his troops to abduct the bride?"
"I'm just curious, curious if all men in this world are the same. I have no other thoughts about Zhou Cheng, yes, none!"
The princess took a deep breath and immediately ordered the imperial guards to open the city gates.
The city gates opened!
The cavalryman who rushed over with the urgent message immediately raised the secret letter in his hand and shouted loudly: "Report!! Zhou Cheng launched a night attack on Wangcheng last night! The granaries, treasuries and armories of Wangcheng were all looted overnight!"
