Chapter 624: Men don't shed tears easily, the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber
Xiao Jinyu asked: "What will happen?"
Feng Wuyou said: "People can't live without blood."
Concubine Zhaohan is in this condition now. Her blood deficiency is getting worse and worse. Even if she takes medicine every day, it will be too late.
Xiao Jinyu was extremely anxious, "How could this happen? Ah Yan has always been in good health, how could he be suffering from blood deficiency?"
Feng Wuyou said: "The most important thing now is to find out the cause of the blood deficiency. But if it is not a physical reason, then it must be an external factor. You can check the people in the palace to see if anyone is doing anything bad to Concubine Han."
Although Feng Wuyou was a salted fish in the past, she still knew something about the palace infighting, which was either due to physical reasons or external reasons.
Xiao Jinyu immediately understood and lost her usual cynicism. "Sister-in-law, I understand. Someone actually dared to harm Ah Yan."
Feng Wuyou then instructed: "Keep taking the medicine."
Xiao Jinyu nodded, "I'll take note of it."
As soon as Feng Wuyou left, Xiao Jinyu called his subordinates, "Keep an eye on the people in the mansion, and arrest anyone suspicious immediately."
"As you command." Yang Wu took the order and went to do it immediately.
Xiao Jinyu came out, he walked over slowly, squatted in front of the imperial concubine's chair, and looked at Concubine Han in the sunlight. She was sleeping soundly at the moment, and her bloodless cheeks looked so white in the sunlight that they were almost transparent.
In the past, Ah Yan was just a little colder and quieter. Why did he become so sickly and lifeless every day like now?
Xiao Jinyu felt distressed and sad. He suddenly remembered that after returning from the battlefield, Ah Yan was not as energetic as before and was always sleepy.
Although Ah Yan was quiet before, he was not lazy and waited for him to come back every day.
Could it be that someone took advantage of his absence and attacked Ah Yan?
Xiao Jinyu's eyes suddenly darkened. Who on earth hated Ah Yan so much that he wanted to kill her?
After sunbathing enough, Xiao Jinyu carried A Yan to her own bedroom, and after making all the arrangements, she came out of the bedroom.
As soon as he came out, he saw Wan Xin standing at the door. At this moment, he was in an irritable and angry mood, and his tone was naturally not very good.
"Why are you here?"
Wan Xin bowed, raised her delicate face and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "Your Highness, I personally cooked some food today, and I want to have lunch with you."
Xiao Jinyu refused without thinking: "I am busy."
Wanxin was a meticulous person and she immediately noticed that Xiao Jinyu was in a bad mood at the moment.
"Does Your Majesty have anything important to deal with?"
Xiao Jinyu said with a worried look on his face: "Princess Han is not feeling well, and the cause has not been found. I am worried about this matter."
Wanxin took a step forward, took Xiao Jinyu's arm, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Prince. Concubine Han has always been in good health and will definitely recover soon."
Xiao Jinyu found that Wanxin was holding her arm, frowned, and directly pulled her arm out, "Wanxin, there is a difference between men and women."
Wanxin's hand froze in mid-air, her face looking a little unhappy. She had already married Xiao Jinyu, and he said there were differences between men and women?
"My Lord, I have already married you. I am your person in life and your ghost in death. How can there be any difference between men and women?"
Xiao Jinyu said seriously, "Wanxin, I told you that I only want to marry Ah Yan. I married you because of the Empress Dowager. You are still innocent now. In two days, I will make it clear with my father. You can return to the Empress Dowager and continue to serve her. You can also marry someone else in the future."
Wan Xin was struck by lightning when she heard this. Her legs went weak and she took two steps back involuntarily. She was married into the family and then sent back, what did they treat her as?
"My Lord, I have already married you, and now you want to send me back. How can I live my life in the future? How can I hold my head up in the palace?"
Wan Xin started to cry as she spoke, "I am just a weak woman. Your Majesty, you can just say no to me? Have I violated any of the seven grounds for divorce? Your Majesty, do you want to treat me like this?"
Anyone who saw her pitiful appearance would feel sorry for her.
Xiao Jinyu was no exception. He knew how important a woman's reputation was. If Wan Xin was sent back, he was afraid that people would gossip about her.
"It would be a waste of time for you to stay in Qiancheng Palace. It would be better for you to return to the Empress Dowager. She will make the decision and even help you find a good marriage."
"My lord, if I marry you, I will be your woman. If you don't want me, then I would rather die than marry anyone else." Wan Xin said as she looked at Xiao Jinyu with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Xiao Jinyu didn't want to waste Wanxin's time, and spending it in Qiancheng Palace would be tantamount to being a widow for the rest of her life.
Seeing Wan Xin like this, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
After Wanxin said this, Xiao Jinyu's plan to send her away was put on hold.
He can't take care of Wanxin now because A-Yan's problem has not been resolved yet.
She will be fine.
"I know you are a good girl. For your own lifelong happiness, you should think carefully about whether you want to stay in Qiancheng Palace as a widow for the rest of your life, or return to the Empress Dowager and choose a good man."
After saying this, Xiao Jinyu strode away.
Wanxin stood in the corridor, watching Xiao Jinyu walking away with broad steps, holding a plain handkerchief tightly in her hand, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Xiao Jinyu made it very clear that even if she married into his family, he would not touch her.
But she has already married into the family. If we let her go back, wouldn't she be drowned in spit?
She would not put herself in that situation.
As long as Concubine Han was gone, she didn't believe that Xiao Jinyu would have no feelings for her at all.
Xiao Jinyu spent a whole day but couldn't find the reason for Ah Yan's blood deficiency. Ah Yan's diet has always been taken care of by special people, all of whom are old people in Qiancheng Hall.
Ah Yan is usually a quiet person and is not too harsh towards his servants, so he won't make any enemies.
This makes investigation even more difficult.
At dinner, Concubine Han only ate half a bowl and stopped eating. Xiao Jinyu wanted to coax her to eat more, but seeing that she was in low spirits, he couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he gave up.
"Ayan, I'll carry you to take a bath."
Concubine Han nodded, "Okay."
Although Han Cefei has a slender figure, she feels very soft when held in his arms, as if she has no bones.
However, Xiao Jinyu felt very distressed. During this period, she lost a lot of weight and had no fat on her waist and abdomen.
"Ayan, you've lost weight." There was unspeakable heartache in his words.
Concubine Han raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "Are you giving up?"
Xiao Jinyu said: "How could I abandon you? I am heartbroken. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well. When we got married, I vowed to keep you safe for the rest of your life."
Concubine Han didn't expect him to put the blame on her, "It's not your fault either."
"Ayan, don't worry. I'm here and won't let anything happen to you." Xiao Jinyu paused here, stared at her for a long time, and said, "When you're well, I'll send Wanxin away and make you a permanent employee. This time, even the king of heaven can't stop me."
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether you are the main wife or the concubine. What matters is that your heart is with me. That's enough."
After spending these years with Xiao Jinyu, she still knows him well and knows that his heart is with her.
Although Xiao Jinyu married Wanxin, he never consummated his marriage with her, which was already a rare and precious thing.
"That won't do either. How can the person I like always be my concubine?" Xiao Jinyu held her in his arms. She used to be thin, but now he could clearly feel that her bones were a little prickly.
"Just rest and recover. I will take care of these things. After I'm done with these things, I'll take you out to live. You'll be the mistress and you'll be in charge of the whole house. Okay?"
As Xiao Jinyu spoke, tears fell from the corners of his eyes unconsciously, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe them away.
Concubine Han laughed softly: "Do you want to tire me to death?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "How can I bear to do that? I will help you manage it, is that okay?"
Concubine Han Ce hummed.
Xiao Jinyu bathed her while feeling distressed.
During the break, Xiao Jinyu also hugged her tightly, but he was not sleepy at all.
Today is the wedding day of Qin Xiao and Chunxi, and Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou will officiate the wedding.
Chunxi was helped by her nanny to take a bath early in the morning and put on her bright red wedding dress.
Feng Wuyou held the auspicious dragon and phoenix veil and watched Chunxi put on her wedding dress. His eyes were full of joy. It was the first time he was so excited not because of the banquet.
After Chunxi put on her wedding dress, she slowly walked to Feng Wuyou. Suddenly, her nose felt sore and she burst into tears, "Master."
Feng Wuyou was about to put a red veil on Chunxi's head when he saw her crying. He was a little surprised, "Today is a happy day, why are you crying? Are you regretting it? What about Qin Xiao?"
Chunxi was crying one second, and she was laughing the next. She said coquettishly, "Master, how could I regret it? I just can't bear to leave you."
Feng Wuyou smiled and said, "Aren't they all in the East Palace? We can still see them every day."
Chunxi said shyly, "That's different."
Outside the door, there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.
Qin Xiao, wearing wedding clothes, led the wedding procession to the door of Hehuan Hall in an orderly manner.
The maid stepped forward and reminded, "It's the auspicious time. It's time for the bride to get on the sedan chair."
Feng Wuyou knew the groom was coming when he heard the sound of firecrackers, and joked: "If Qin Xiao saw you like this now, he would definitely be fascinated by you."
Chunxi blushed in embarrassment when he heard this, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Feng Wuyou.
Feng Wuyouqiao put the red veil on Chunxi's head, covering her shy face at the same time.
The nanny came forward and helped Chunxi onto the sedan chair.
Qin Xiao's eyes were fixed on Chunxi who was wearing her new wedding dress. Even though he couldn't see her face, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
A few days before the wedding, the two couldn't see each other, so now that they met, they naturally wanted to see each other more.
Qin Xiao and Chunxi's status was very impressive among the servants, and I don't know how many people envied them behind their backs.
As the masters of the wedding, Feng Wuyou and Xiao Jinyan were already sitting on the high altar, watching the two newlyweds walk in slowly. At the reminder of the master of ceremonies, they bowed first to heaven and earth, then to their parents, and then the couple bowed to each other.
The process was lively and smooth. Amid the excitement, Qin Xiao led Chunxi into the bridal chamber.
After the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, Feng Wuyou began to eat the banquet.
Xiao Jinyan saw this and shook his head helplessly, never forgetting to eat.
Feng Wuyou ate the chicken leg and said to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, I will be able to attend my eldest brother's wedding next month. I am so happy just thinking about it."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes were full of doting, "You, all you know is eating."
Feng Wuyou said, "Your Highness, you don't understand. The fun of a banquet is that you can eat many, many dishes."
Xiao Jinyan did not comment.
Qin Xiao had just sent Chunxi into the bridal chamber and before he could say a few words, he was pulled out by his brothers to drink.
They were brothers who had been through thick and thin together, so Qin Xiao was happy and drank without any scruples.
After a few rounds, Qin Xiao was a little drunk.
Wei Chi saw that his brothers could no longer stand and knew that they had drunk enough. Seeing that they were still toasting him, he shouted at the top of his voice.
"That's enough. Qin Xiao is going to enter the bridal chamber tonight. As the saying goes, a night of love is worth a thousand gold. Brothers, you can't ruin his happiness."
"Brother Wei is right. If he passes out from drinking, how can Brother Qin enter the bridal chamber? Right, brothers?"
"Then Brother Qin will benefit."
Qin Xiao had always wanted to go back to his room early, but his brothers were in high spirits tonight and kept asking him to drink, so he couldn't refuse.
Fortunately, Wei Chi spoke up for him.
Qin Xiao patted his shoulder gratefully and said, "Thank you, brother. Next time you get married, I will help you too."
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to walk into the room.
Wei Chi held a wine glass in his hand. Thinking of Lu Zhaoyan's words, he looked worried instead of smiling just now.
He doesn't have this opportunity.
Wei Chi raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all in one gulp. When he put it down, he saw Lu Zhaoyan at the next table, who was also drinking. The worry he had just felt deepened.
If Lu Zhaoyan had told him earlier, he wouldn't have thought that he was incapable for so long and almost got depressed.
The more Wei Chi thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He glanced at the wine bottle on the table, picked it up and walked over.
"Lord Lu."
Lu Zhaoyan raised his head, saw Wei Chi, and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Wei."
Wei Chi raised the wine jug in his hand and filled Lu Zhaoyan's glass with wine. That posture made Lu Zhaoyan a little scared.
"Brother Wei, what are you doing?"
"Drink." Wei Chi was unhappy and wanted to let Lu Zhaoyan drink to vent his anger.
Lu Zhaoyan thought about Brother Wei’s strange behavior a few days ago. Could it be that he was still angry?
He raised the glass doubtfully and drank it all in one gulp, then turned the glass upside down to show him that he had finished it.
Unexpectedly, Wei Chi poured him another full glass and said, "Keep drinking."
Lu Zhaoyan: “…”Are you here to seek revenge?
Lu Zhaoyan was forced to drink three glasses of wine by Wei Chi. When he saw Wei Chi raising the wine bottle to pour wine for him, he finally couldn't help it and grabbed Wei Chi's hand.
"Brother Wei, if you drink any more you'll get drunk."
"You're drunk. I'll carry you back." Wei Chi was a warrior, and Lu Zhaoyan was a weak scholar. How could he stop him?
There was a full glass of wine. Looking at Wei Chi's attitude, I was afraid he would have to drink it.
Qin Xiao walked all the way to the door of the room, pushed it open impatiently, and saw the beautiful bride sitting on the bed. He walked in with shaky steps, turned around and closed the door tightly, fearing that the gang brothers would come over to make trouble in the bridal chamber.
Chunxi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she heard the door open, and even more shy. She listened to the steady footsteps coming towards her step by step, and her heart was beating like a deer.
Just when Chunxi was nervous and shy, Qin Xiao used a scale to lift the big red veil, allowing her to see Qin Xiao in his wedding dress.
Qin Xiao is a warrior with a tall and straight figure. His skin is neither white nor black, but he looks very handsome.
Just one glance and Chunxi's face turned red, perhaps because she thought about what would happen next.
