Chapter 12 I will tell you a secret
The crowd made way to both sides, and Emperor Wu Kun, wearing a dragon robe, appeared slowly, his footsteps making rustling sounds.
"Your Highness! Long live His Majesty!"
All in unison.
Emperor Wu Kun nodded and said, "All the nobles, please stand up. I am late for Lord Shen's wedding banquet. Please bring it up."
Just as he finished speaking, two young eunuchs tremblingly carried a stretcher and dropped a heavy wooden box in the middle of the hall with a bang.
When the lid of the box was opened, a golden light flashed.
Full of gold and silver jewelry.
The officials were shocked. They never expected that His Majesty would be so kind to Shen Zhejiang.
Shen Zhejiang's back was sweating, but he patted the back of Xiao Zhinian's hand in his sleeve to comfort him. Without even glancing at the box, he took two steps towards Emperor Wu Kun.
"Your Majesty, I am very lucky to be able to come. How dare I ask for too much? Please take it back. Thank you for your grace."
Emperor Wu Kun smiled rarely and said, "Who said that the person I want to send is you?"
In other words, these were all awarded to Wang Xiuyi.
Shen Zhejiang's heart was hanging in the air, but he remained calm and said, "The rules in my house are very strict. Since Miss Wang has entered my house, she should be diligent and frugal, and not easily accumulate wealth."
"You shouldn't be the one answering me this."
"minister......"
The hem of her dress was gently tugged.
Xiao Zhinian, who was taking over the name of Wang Xiuyi, walked up to him at some point, put his arm around his shoulders, and behaved intimately with Shen Zhejiang, whispering in his ear in front of everyone.
Shen Zhejiang's eyes flickered and he said, "'Miss Wang' asked me to convey my gratitude to Your Majesty, and he followed my wishes."
Hai Sanqing, who was serving Emperor Wu Kun, twitched his white eyebrows and said sternly, "How dare you! Wang Xiuyi, could it be that His Majesty cannot listen to your voice anymore?"
Shen Zhejiang replied calmly, "That's not the case. My wife was practicing martial arts the other day and accidentally injured her throat. Her voice is hoarse and I dare not pollute your majesty's ears."
"you......"
Hai Sanqing wanted to scold him again, but was interrupted by Emperor Wu Kun.
"Mr. Shen is well-versed in classics, and his most amazing skill is his eloquence," Emperor Wu Kun waved his hand. Just when Shen Zhejiang thought he would not ask more about this point, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "This Miss Wang is very similar to the Crown Prince in both figure and manner. Take off your veil and let me see if you are him?"
Shen Zhejiang's heart skipped a beat.
If Emperor Wu Kun knew that it was Xiao Zhinian, not only would Xiao Zhinian be severely punished, but he and the people in the Minister of War's Office would also be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhejiang raised his hand in front of Xiao Zhinian, stopped the eunuch who was about to take the red silk on Xiao Zhinian's head, and said coldly: "Wait a minute."
"What? Shen Zhejiang, do you want to disobey the order?" Emperor Wu Kun had a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, according to the marriage customs of our dynasty, the bride's veil should be lifted by the groom himself, which symbolizes a happy marriage," Shen Zhejiang said with a serious expression, "Let me do it."
Emperor Wu Kun said nothing, which meant he acquiesced.
Shen Zhejiang turned around and faced Xiao Zhinian, feeling both disappointed and angry. This might be the last time they would see each other.
He never expected it to be like this.
The feelings that she had for Xiao Zhinian that she had hidden from the public in the past now filled her heart and overflowed at this moment.
Since there was no chance to meet again, Chen Zhejiang was inevitably moved. The shackles imposed by the secular world were loosened in an instant, and he wanted to say a lot of things.
Thousands of words finally turned into nothing. He pressed his forehead against Xiao Zhinian's forehead, and couldn't help but touch Xiao Zhinian's palm, and slid down, overlapping their fingers to form an interlocking of ten fingers.
Xiao Zhinian couldn't see anything through the red silk, let alone the expression on Shen Zhejiang's face, which showed tenderness, reluctance, attachment, and deep affection, but he could clearly feel Shen Zhejiang's behavior and couldn't help but be surprised -
He never received any response from Shen Zhejiang.
"Xiao Zhinian, I like you, too."
Whispering softly, like the gentle whispers in a dream.
Right beside your ear.
It was so light that Xiao Zhinian almost thought he was hallucinating.
For a moment, Xiao Zhinian was so impulsive that he wanted to throw away the red cloth that was in the way and asked Shen Zhejiang if he had just said such a sentence.
He wanted to confirm.
Shen Zhejiang raised his other hand, pinched a corner of the dangling red veil, and applied a little force.
“Swoosh—Zheng!”
The sound of metal colliding broke the silence.
The sharp arrow flew past Emperor Wu Kun's temple, and the sharp blade cut off several strands of black and white hair, which floated in the air.
Emperor Wu Kun was suddenly stunned, and his eyes, wide open with shock, reflected the two arrow feathers that were deeply embedded in the wall at the same time.
There was a moment of dead silence.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor! Catch the assassin!"
I don't know who screamed first.
Everything was in chaos.
The cowardly court officials fled outside like frightened birds, but the surging guards intercepted them in the opposite direction.
"Zhejiang!"
Han Zitang dodged to the direction where Shen Zhejiang was to block the attack, but was repeatedly pushed away by the endless stream of people, like a chasm. He finally squeezed over there, only to find that someone was faster than him.
In the chaos, Xiao Zhinian protected Shen Zhejiang behind him, dragging him around in twists and turns, running towards the empty backyard where there were few people.
There was no one here, so Xiao Zhinian simply pulled off the red veil and held it in his hand.
The air flowed into the mouth and nose, and the stuffy atmosphere suddenly became refreshing.
The robe was gently blown up by the wind, and the sound of the wind whistling was filled in my ears.
“Your Highness!”
Shen Zhejiang was calling him.
Xiao Zhinian turned around and smiled at Shen Zhejiang. He seemed to be in a very happy mood, and his smile was extremely pure and warm. He asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Shen Zhejiang was running so hard that he almost died. The front hall was in chaos. Seeing Xiao Zhinian still smiling and acting so frivolous, he became even more annoyed.
"Your Highness.....What are you doing..."
Shen Zhe asked while panting by the river.
Xiao Zhinian pulled him into the house and closed the door. Finally, he had some peace and quiet. He then breathed a sigh of relief, slapped his thigh and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! How funny! Those ministers are even more timid than rats. Look at them. I am dying of laughter!"
Shen Zhejiang covered his heaving chest. He had just run too hard, and his face finally flushed. "...What is your highness doing?"
"I am not kidding. Isn't this helping you, sir?"
Xiao Zhinian blinked and looked at Shen Zhejiang. He sounded innocent, which made Shen Zhejiang seem like the aggressive one.
Oh my god!
"You are confusing right and wrong," Shen Zhejiang put on his usual attitude of a strict teacher, intending to interrogate Xiao Zhinian, "Were all the events today planned by Your Highness and Miss Wang?"
"That's right!" Xiao Zhinian admitted openly, "As for Wang Xiuyi, don't even think about it, sir. She already has someone in her heart! This is an agreement between her and me, and it cannot be told to outsiders."
Oh......
Shen Zhejiang sneered in his heart. After provoking other people, he came to provoke him again. He spoke so intimately, what kind of agreement was there? Why not just go and live with Miss Wang!
As he thought about this, his expression turned three degrees colder.
"However," Xiao Zhinian did not notice the change in his expression and said calmly, "Sir, you are my wife, so it doesn't matter if you tell me."
After he finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe and whispered something into Shen Zhejiang's ear. Shen Zhejiang opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"What??"
