This time, with the Great Wu Iron Cavalry escorting them, their killing intent was chilling, and no one dared to stop them along the way. However, after entering the palace, they were finally able to pay their respects to the newly enthroned young emperor, the Greedy Wolf Star, and were then sent to the emperor's bedroom, the Longyang Palace.
This is also their bridal chamber, but only for the first three days. Tomorrow she must return to the Phoenix Palace where the Empress resides.
After getting rid of the troublesome palace maids and nannies, Xia Yixin breathed a sigh of relief. Ancient weddings were incredibly complicated. Before, she was covered with a red veil and couldn't see the legendary, handsome Qi Yu, the Star of Greed. She had to step over a fire basin and kowtow.
Although she couldn't see what that pathetic man, who was just another nobody like her, looked like, she didn't have a good impression of him.
Although the hand holding the red silk cloth had distinct knuckles, was flawless white jade, and was so slender and beautiful that it would drive hand fetishists crazy, it was gripped tightly.
He almost pulled her down several times, which shows that he was also unwilling to accept this marriage.
It really does prove the saying: devoted women often fall for heartless men.
The old emperor was fond of extravagance and debauchery. Behind the Longyang Palace was a hot spring pool with an inexhaustible water source. It was early spring, and the water temperature was just right. Moreover, for some unknown reason, the old emperor had placed a bronze mirror taller than a person next to the pool.
She took off her sticky empress's wedding dress, wearing only a white undergarment, and stood in front of the bronze mirror looking at the girl inside.
She looked to be about 1.5 meters tall, but weighed over 200 pounds, making her look like a ball. However, if she lost weight, her figure would probably be quite good. Moreover, the original owner's features were indeed quite delicate. Although not stunning, she was a pretty girl.
I just don't know how she got so fat. Life in Beiwu shouldn't be that good.
After taking her own pulse, Xia Yixin finally understood that she had been poisoned.
It's not actually a serious poison; it just causes qi deficiency, blood stasis, and excessive liver fire. In addition, the original owner was lazy and gluttonous, and had been overweight since childhood.
On the grasslands, being fat is considered "strong," and since the original owner's father was a doting father, no one dared to say anything.
She tried it and found that she could still take out the items in the storage ring. Although she had long since used up the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she still had other pills to regulate her body. After taking one, she went into the hot spring pool and took a good bath.
Haste makes waste. The original owner had been poisoned for over ten years and needed to be treated slowly, along with exercise. As for the person who poisoned him, there was really nothing to be found in the original owner's memories. This original owner was willful and reckless, and also had a violent temper. He would whip people to kill them at the drop of a hat, and didn't even have a caring maid.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. She only needs to give Xia Jingfeng a reasonable reason for his personality change.
Perhaps we could take advantage of the original owner's unrequited love, coupled with the poisoning incident...
However, the most important thing is still the main storyline.
Although the Northern Martial Cavalry is very strong, it is still an isolated force deep in enemy territory, too far from its homeland. The powerful families in the court and the feudal lords outside are forced to submit to it due to the threat of execution, and it will rebel sooner or later.
If they stay here, they will undoubtedly be trapping themselves, so leaving the capital and returning to Beiwu is the best option.
Moreover, the main storyline cannot be altered. The Shen family might take action once they find the royal grandson, so they must find an ally.
alliance……
A person came to mind.
Qi Yu.
This pitiful cannon fodder, who was pushed off after serving for three years, is the most suitable candidate for the current owner of the body, even though he is cold and ruthless towards the original owner. Although he has no real power now, he is still the emperor and her husband.
He might be their greatest guarantee and biggest shield for leaving the capital safely.
Just as Xia Yixin was forming a general plan in her mind, a young man's angry roar came from inside the hall behind a screen.
Even if you kill me today, I will not go there!
Qi Yu drank a lot of wine today, and his emotions, which he had suppressed for many years, finally erupted after the old eunuch said something.
Cao De knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Even if you don't care about the world, you should think about the Empress Dowager. The court is in turmoil right now. I beg you..."
Even though Qi Yu was mature beyond his years, he was still only a fifteen-year-old boy. At this moment, his face was flushed red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.
He grabbed the jade pillow beside him and threw it to the ground. With a crisp crack, the priceless jade pillow was immediately broken in two.
Cao De knelt even deeper, "Your Majesty!"
Qi Yu was completely unmoved and said through gritted teeth, "I don't need you to tell me how to do it."
Just as Qi Yu was about to overturn the table of dishes, Cao De quickly stopped him. At that moment, a melodious female voice rang out from behind the screen.
"Eunuch Cao, you may leave. I need to speak with His Majesty."
Cao De had long heard about the commotion caused by this empress from Beiwu on Zhengwu Avenue. Rumor had it that the empress's voice was as melodious as heavenly music, but her appearance was...
However, at this moment, her words relieved the immediate crisis. Cao De bowed and then led the completely terrified maids and servants out.
The usual rituals were skipped, since neither of these two masters seemed to follow the usual path.
Qi Yu had lived in the cold palace since childhood. Although he was a man of great ambition, he was like a caged beast. Before Xia Jingfeng arrived, he had already planned his escape route and prepared to take his mother away from the palace in the chaos. However, he was intercepted halfway.
Now, being forced to take the position he despised most, and marrying the daughter of that traitor who caused chaos in the court, was a great humiliation for Qi Yu. Moreover, Xia Jingfeng had imprisoned many of his people and even threatened him with his mother's life.
This made it impossible for Qi Yu to develop feelings for Xia Yixin.
