Chaos ensued, and in the pushing and shoving, innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire and were knocked to the ground.
A piercing scream echoed through the street.
Taking advantage of the chaos, a group of assassins appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for the bridal sedan chair; their target was also the bride.
Amidst the chaos, the bridal sedan chair began to shake violently.
Left with no other choice, the coachmen carrying the sedan chair had to temporarily put it down.
An Yuan'er felt a little uncomfortable swaying in the bridal sedan chair, but she quickly calmed down: "Guoguo, don't panic, don't move around now, he won't let anything happen to me."
An Yuan'er unconditionally believed that Yi Chenli would protect her, no matter what.
Guoguo didn't respond; instead, she lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.
Using the beggars' riot as cover, and with the smoke they brought in advance to confuse people's vision, these assassins were already prepared to die. They had no intention of returning alive; they only wanted to complete their mission. They were bloodthirsty.
Countless innocent people suffered as collateral damage. An Yuan'er couldn't see the situation outside, but she could tell from the screams that it was a terrible scene.
What a cruel and vicious person they must be to turn what should have been a joyous wedding into a bloody hell.
An Yuan'er was worried about the situation outside and also afraid that Yi Chenli would be in danger again. Her face turned pale with tension. In the chaos, a cloud of smoke suddenly flashed inside the bridal sedan chair. An Yuan'er couldn't dodge in time and fainted.
Just before she drifted off to sleep, she seemed to feel a familiar, warm embrace, and a man's deep, magnetic voice whispered in her ear: "My most beautiful bride, everything will be alright once you wake up."
......
As the smoke cleared, a sharp-eyed person in the crowd shouted, "The bridal sedan chair is gone! The bridal sedan chair is gone..."
The Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom immediately gave chase with a group of guards, but if you looked closely, you would notice that although the Crown Prince seemed to be in a hurry, there was no panic in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the assassins carried the bridal sedan chair, navigating winding paths until they finally arrived at a temple, where the sedan chair disappeared into the temple.
Inside the bridal sedan chair, the bride's maid, Guoguo, stepped out first. Her eyes changed, and she tore off the human skin mask from her face, kneeling down in front of the man in blue: "Master, the plan has succeeded, and the person has been brought."
This is not Guoguo at all; it is clearly Pearl Girl disguised as Guoguo, who is also Yan Cuizhen from back then.
And her master was Gu Chuzhi.
The real Guoguo was knocked unconscious and left at the An residence when she left home, while Yan Cuizhen disguised herself as Guoguo and mingled in the bridal sedan chair early in the morning.
As Gu Chuzhi walked towards the bridal sedan chair and opened the curtain, his hands trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
Is he finally going to have her?
The curtain was opened, and inside the bridal sedan chair, "An Yuan'er," dressed in a red wedding gown, was fast asleep.
Gu Chuzhi gazed at the girl greedily; she was even more beautiful than he had imagined. One look at her sleeping face captivated him, and he was unwilling to look away.
He picked the girl up in his arms, glanced lazily at Yan Cuizhen beside him, and said, "No one was following you, and no one noticed your disguise, right?"
Yan Cuizhen nodded: "The plan went smoothly. When the Prince of the Southern Kingdom, Nan Xiubai, discovered that the bridal sedan chair was missing, he immediately chased after us. However, we took a side road in advance, and he lost our trail before he could catch up with us. As for my disguise, I drugged An Yuan'er halfway through, and she did not suspect my identity."
Gu Chuzhi smiled and said, "You did a great job."
