"But soon the discussions gradually subsided, and in the end, everyone in the court fell silent. Everyone agreed that no matter what, the Crown Prince would definitely marry Princess Anguo. That was an opportunity for peace that the entire Yi Kingdom had sought, and it was not something that could be blocked by anyone's fiancée. Besides, she was just a country bumpkin, how could she be worthy of the high and mighty Crown Prince?"
Even though the Kingdom of Yi has been on the verge of collapse in recent years, and the Crown Prince could disappear at any moment, that was not something that a simple country bumpkin like her with no connections could possibly imagine.
At this moment, the king made his move, ordering his men to capture Luo Qingyi alive. Luo Qingyi, naturally, wouldn't give up so easily. Relying on her superior martial arts skills, she even took Princess Anguo hostage. Everyone hesitated, fearing the consequences, and dared not do anything to her.
His Highness the Crown Prince watched helplessly as his newlywed wife was taken hostage by another woman, and remained completely indifferent.
Luo Qingyi was enraged, her emotions running high. She berated all the high-ranking officials and nobles who attended the Crown Prince's wedding, listing the sins of everyone in the world. She even questioned the Crown Prince, asking why a dignified heir to the throne would fabricate such a colossal lie against the woman he loved and who had saved his life. He had made her wait four years for nothing.
"How could Your Highness treat a woman like this? It's really going too far."
"That Princess Anguo is a real troublemaker, tearing apart a loving couple for no reason."
Amidst the crowd, women voiced their indignation, all criticizing the Crown Prince's heartlessness. The men felt that for the sake of the nation, personal feelings should naturally be put aside. If someone truly liked another, she could be taken as a concubine in the future; there was no need to make a scene at the wedding, losing face for the Yi Kingdom and angering the An Kingdom. They believed that such a woman was short-sighted and unfit for important positions.
I couldn't listen anymore. I didn't want to see myself being so pathetic, and I didn't want to hear such a boring story anymore.
A group of soldiers burst in from outside and headed straight for the second floor.
It's Mu Bai.
Seeing Mu Bai now, I don't know how to feel. I just feel like I've swallowed a bottle of mixed emotions, and I feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Mu Bai has been ordered to capture a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and he requests the cooperation of his wife, Miss."
Once we got to the second floor, Mu Bai went straight to our table.
Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual. The person who was ordered to send me back to Minchuan before, after just listening to a storyteller, was ordered to arrest me again and inexplicably became a wanted criminal of the court. Could it be related to the story in this storybook? But the storyteller hasn't finished telling the story yet.
"May I ask, sir, what became of that woman named Luo Qingyi, and why did she return to Minchuan?" I didn't want to talk to Mu Bai. With Luo Qingyun around, I wasn't afraid of him. I spoke to the storyteller.
The storyteller, who had been startled, paused for a moment before finally replying to me.
"I don't know which version of the ending you're reading, young lady. Mine is the latest version. The ending is that Heaven, moved by the deep affection of the woman who abducted the groom, bestowed upon her the title of fairy, and she ascended to heaven. The Crown Prince, heartbroken, also committed suicide and became an immortal, becoming a divine couple. Princess Anguo remarried, marrying the Second Prince. There's no plot like what you described." This ending is indeed unexpected. As expected of a bestselling romance novel, no matter what happens in the beginning, it always ends happily. It can't be taken too seriously. It seems I'll have to ask Ji Ruchen myself.
