Chapter 153 Marriage

Xu and Su Rui were both shocked.

They all thought that based on the original owner's personality, she would definitely not be willing to marry a dying person.

But that person is Zhao Zhuoxi.

How could Jiang Jiu not be willing?

Xu's motherly heart was instantly aroused, her eyes were filled with pity and reluctance, and her eyes turned red.

"Xiaojiu...I'm sorry for wronging you..."

Jiang Jiu smiled calmly: "Mother, I am going to be a princess, how can I feel wronged..."

Indeed, given the original owner's identity as a fake daughter, it was not easy for her to find a good husband's family as she was neither high nor low.

Being able to marry a prince is still extremely wealthy.

Su Rui also stared at Jiang Jiu hesitantly, fiddling with the handkerchief in her hand.

"If... Xiaojiu doesn't want to go, I'm willing to go for her..."

Before Su Rui could finish her words, she was suddenly pulled by the maid behind her.

"Young lady, be careful with your words..."

Xu's motherly heart was frozen, and she called out, "Rui'er..."

Indeed, she was reluctant to be close to her daughter.

But this cry of surprise ultimately made his heart lean towards his own daughter.

However, she quickly realized what was happening, and with great embarrassment, she smiled dryly and said, "Prince Qi is seriously ill, and a surprise is urgently needed. Although we have little time to prepare, don't worry, you will get what you deserve, and there will be no mistakes."

Xu kept on nagging and giving Jiang Jiu many instructions, and Jiang Jiu agreed obediently.

Princess Zhaoyang nodded with satisfaction: "Starting tomorrow, you will follow the governess to learn the rules. Learn well. No matter what, remember your future identity, the Princess of Qi... Duke Dingguo's Mansion will always be your mother's home..."

Her future identity is Princess of Qi. Even if she was a fake daughter or a country girl in the past, she will be a noble princess in the future.

And Princess Zhaoyang was also willing to support her.

That’s enough. Jiang Jiu didn’t want anything else. She was extremely anxious and just wanted to see Zhao Zhuoxi as soon as possible to find out what was going on.

How could he be unconscious to the point where even Doctor Yu was helpless? Even Chu Yu was helpless?

*******

The marriage has been decided, and everyone in Duke Dingguo's mansion is busy.

Although it was just a wedding celebration, Zhao Zhuoxi was a noble prince after all, so all the necessary wedding arrangements had to be carried out.

So the three matchmakers and six engagements were completed in three days.

The entire Su Mansion was extremely busy, and only Jiang Jiu's room was deserted and cold, with not a single maid willing to stay.

Even the wet nurse, Aunt Zhang, was hesitant.

Jiang Jiu decided to let her serve Princess Zhaoyang.

However, Prince Qi's Mansion gave Jiang Jiu a surprise; the nanny they sent was actually Nanny Qian.

After Jiang Jiu was captured in the palace, Nanny Qian and others who were originally in charge of the empress were sent away by the empress under various pretexts.

In addition, Jiang Jiu was missing, and they were all anxious, and no one thought about returning to the Queen's bedroom.

Later, the bedroom was bombed. Nanny Qian was in Zhao Zhuoxi's bedroom. When she arrived, the bedroom had been blown to pieces and turned into ruins.

Although Nanny Qian disagreed with this marriage, ever since she met Jiang Jiu, although she didn't recognize him, she always had a familiar feeling about him.

Nanny Qian is cold to everyone except Jiang Jiu, whom she treats like her own daughter.

Now, Nanny Qian, as a member of Prince Qi's mansion, came to keep an eye on Prince Qi. When she saw Jiang Jiu, she was full of resentment.

But Jiang Jiu knew how to control Nanny Qian. In less than a day, Nanny Qian changed her opinion of Jiang Jiu.

I think this girl is gentle and obedient, which is good.

Soon, everything was ready and Jiang Jiu was about to get married.

Early in the morning, Jiang Jiu was woken up by the maid and the matchmaker, took a bath, combed her hair, and changed into a bright red wedding dress. By the time everything was ready, it was already noon.

In ancient times, people got married around dusk. After noon, the groom would ride a horse to pick up the newlyweds. Then, he would go around the capital and return to the mansion just in time for the wedding.

Princess Zhaoyang was genuinely nice to the original owner. Even though she knew she was a fake daughter, she still gave her enough face and prepared ten li of red makeup for her.

I heard that the dowry almost covered half of the capital.

The closer he got to Prince Qi's Palace, the faster Jiang Jiu's heart beat.

Prince Zhao Zhuoxi of Qi was in a coma, and the only person who came to pick him up was his horse.

As for whether the King of Qi can be awakened after the marriage.

Everything depends on God's will.

Zhao Zhuoxi was not awake, so all the ceremonies were cancelled.

Jiang Jiu entered Prince Qi's mansion. The mansion was quiet and all the musical instruments had stopped. Only a string of firecrackers were set off.

The housekeeper arranged for the people who carried the dowry to go to another courtyard.

Nanny Qian and Auntie Xi held Jiang Jiu's hands and walked inside.

Jiang Jiu had been to Prince Qi's Mansion and lived there before, so he was familiar with everything here.

So Jiang Jiu walked smoothly, but just when she was about to turn into Zhao Zhuoxi's main courtyard, suddenly, she was led forward by Nanny Qian.

Jiang Jiu wanted to ask, but the words fell back on his lips.

It was not until Jiang Jiu arrived at the yard where she lived that he suddenly realized.

Zhao Zhuoxi saw her burn to ashes with his own eyes, and he could not accept this fact at all, so he simply lived in Jiang Jiu's yard, missing her like a tide...

"Princess, we're here."

With a creaky sound, matchmaker pushed open the door.

A strong smell of medicine hit my face.

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath and walked in.

Mrs. Matchmaker helped Jiang Jiu sit on the bed and left.

There were only two people left in the room: Nanny Qian and Jiang Jiu.

Through the veil, she saw a pair of men's boots placed beside the bed. She took a quick look and saw that Zhao Zhuoxi was also wearing a groom's suit, but he was lying on the bed motionless.

Aunt Qian quickly gave her instructions.

"Princess, our prince needs to be fed medicine every two hours and given an acupuncture every day. There are doctors and maids in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about these."

"This is not the prince's main room. We will move it tomorrow morning. Don't worry, princess. Whether the prince is awake or not, we will not make things difficult for you."

They are still as kind as ever.

Nanny Qian made it clear that this was not Zhao Zhuoxi's principal room, so this was not the princess's residence either, and she would have to move out tomorrow.

However, on the wedding night today, according to the rules, Jiang Jiu still has to live in the same room with Zhao Zhuoxi.

We will talk about this later.

Jiang Jiu felt that Nanny Qian was too nagging and she wanted to know Zhao Zhuoxi's current situation as soon as possible.

Finally, Aunt Qian left and the whole room became quiet.

Jiang Jiu sat there in a daze for a while before realizing that no one had lifted the red veil on her head yet.

She lifted her own veil, and the room was brightly lit with two red candles as thick as arms. The room was furnished with familiar furnishings, and no one had touched it.

Then look at Zhao Zhuoxi who is lying there as if he is asleep.

Jiang Jiu leaned over to his ear and whispered softly, "Zhao Zhuoxi, I'm not dead. I'm back."

"Do you remember what I told you? You have to live a good life no matter what. How can you torture yourself into a living dead?"

"Zhao Zhuoxi, are you cold?"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Jiu's face was already covered with tears.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't really die, he just didn't want to wake up.

Witnessing Jiang Jiu's death with his own eyes was simply unbearable for him.

After taking revenge on Zhou Xiang's cronies, he was completely exhausted.

He knew that no matter how many people he killed, his Jiang Jiu would never come back.

So, he didn't even want the throne anymore, and stayed in Jiang Jiu's room, living a life of drunkenness and sleeplessness.

But this time, he fell asleep while drinking.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't wake up.
