Right in front of the wedding procession stood a young man.
The man was in his early twenties, with his hair neatly tied into a scarf. His face was thin, which made him look more refined and handsome.
This is a man with a scholarly air in every move he makes.
Such a man, although he has outstanding appearance, would not be too eye-catching in a crowd, but at this moment he caught the attention of countless people.
He was wearing a red robe, the color of which was comparable to the wedding dress worn by the Prince of Xiang on the red horse.
But this was not the reason why it attracted everyone's attention. What really stunned countless people was the long flagpole held on a bamboo pole in the man's hand.
The long banner was more than a meter long, with six black characters written on it: Miss Cui is my wife.
Those who saw the contents of the banner clearly forgot to speak for a moment.
Some people who can't read were so anxious that they asked the people around them, "What is it? Why are you all so stupid?"
"Miss Cui is my wife."
"What?"
"Miss Cui is my wife."
"Gou Danzi, you are going to die, how dare you say such a thing?"
The prince's wedding was so lively, and everyone knew that the groom today was Prince Xiang, and the bride was Miss Cui from the General's Mansion.
The man pointed at the long banner, his voice trembling with extreme shock: "That... that's what it says!"
After a brief and strange silence, the crowd that seemed to be busy suddenly became noisy.
Is this a case of kidnapping?
Oh my god, today's excitement is so worth watching!
I have only heard of this kind of thing from elders, but today I actually saw it with my own eyes. What's even more exciting is that the person being kidnapped was a prince!
In a country, the king's words and deeds will affect the people's words and deeds.
Emperor Jingming was a tolerant emperor, so his subjects lived more calmly and were more courageous.
In this situation, what does it matter if he is a prince? The excitement will make it more exciting to watch.
Anyway, we can't arrest them all, and the prison won't be able to accommodate them all.
The King of Xiang was almost dumbfounded by the big red horse.
Zhu Ziyu's eyes flashed with coldness. He raised the long banner in his hand higher and shouted loudly: "I, Zhu Ziyu, and Mingyue are in love with each other. Why does the King of Xiang want to separate us——"
The noisy crowd became more and more agitated.
"What? So it was the Prince of Xiang who swung his sword to snatch my love?"
"Tsk tsk, I heard earlier that Zhu Ziyu murdered his wife for his lover, and that lover was Miss Cui from the General's Mansion. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true!"
The frightened Ma Jiangsi of Baiyun Temple reported the matter to the authorities without hesitation, and later the Dongping Marquis's Mansion and the Zhu family severed their ties. Zhu Ziyu's name had become known to everyone, including children.
Anyone who has not heard of the treacherous man Zhu Ziyu is ignorant.
Finally, someone in the wedding procession reacted.
"Get this lunatic out of here!"
It was a fine day, and although there were guards from the royal palace in the wedding procession, they did not bring weapons.
Several people immediately rushed over to drag Zhu Ziyu away.
This is the prince's wedding, so it's not as simple as just driving him away. Instead, they should be moved somewhere else first and the settlement will be made later.
Zhu Ziyu struggled desperately, crying out in agony: "Mingyue, Mingyue, have you forgotten our vows? You said you would be my wife, how could you marry the King of Xiang? Were you forced to do this?"
The discussion became louder.
"It seems that Zhu Ziyu is deeply in love with Miss Cui. Maybe Miss Cui feels the same way..."
"Hiss - then didn't the King of Xiang slash his sword to snatch my love?"
The dumbfounded King Xiang:? ?
In the bridal sedan, Cui Mingyue tore off the wedding veil embroidered with twin lotus flowers, and her face looked frighteningly ugly.
Zhu Ziyu——
Isn't he crazy? Why is he here?
No, it's because he's crazy that he can do such a crazy thing.
He is determined to destroy her even at the cost of his own life!
"Mingyue, Mingyue, come out——"
The shouts outside the sedan were like a death warrant, tormenting every nerve of Cui Mingyue.
She raised her hands and tried several times to lift the curtain and look outside, but she didn't have the courage.
There were huge crowds of people outside, countless of them were watching this joke, and they were probably all staring at her.
What would the King of Xiang think of Zhu Ziyu's disturbance? What would the Queen Mother and even the Emperor think if they heard about it?
Sitting in the flower sedan, Cui Mingyue felt panic and confusion for the first time, as if she was in a cage on an isolated island and the tide was spreading towards the island.
What should she do?
Cui Mingyue suddenly felt a palpitation and had difficulty breathing, holding on to the wall of the carriage.
The carriage was quiet, with only the sound of her heavy breathing; outside the carriage also seemed to be quiet, without the suffocating shouts.
Zhu Ziyu was taken away?
Cui Mingyue couldn't look outside and could only guess in panic.
Zhu Ziyu was indeed dragged away, and only the long banner that fell from his hand during the struggle lay on the ground.
People who were close could still see the big words on the long banner: Miss Cui is my wife.
Countless eyes fell on Prince Xiang.
Everyone was curious about what the King of Xiang would do after Zhu Ziyu's incident.
To be honest, the King of Xiang was quite unlucky. Such a good happy event encountered such a bad luck.
However, many people also sighed quietly: There is no way, who allowed the Prince of Xiang to take advantage of the situation to snatch the love.
King of Xiang:? ?
In the wedding procession, everyone looked at each other, and finally no one dared to take the lead, and everyone looked at the bridesmaid.
The bridesmaid was sent by the palace. Although she was used to big scenes, this was the first time she had seen a scene like this. She only just came to her senses.
No matter what, the marriage must go on.
Under the urging of everyone, Xiniang gritted her teeth and came before the King of Xiang.
"My Lord——"
Prince Xiang sat on his horse, staring at the red flower pinned on the bride's hair, and found it particularly dazzling.
He glanced coldly at the carriage, shook the reins, and rode away on his horse, leaving behind only a trail of dust, the confused wedding procession, and the people watching the excitement.
The crowd suddenly became silent, with only the scream of the bridesmaid: "My Lord, you can't run away——"
Jiang Si leaned on his chin and looked out from the second-floor window of the teahouse on the street, smiling slightly.
Back then, Princess Rongyang stole her mother's love and destroyed her mother's happiness. Now her daughter was abandoned by the groom on the way to her wedding. This was probably tit for tat.
A family that accumulates good will surely have surplus blessings, and a family that accumulates evil will surely have surplus consequences.
Who says there is no retribution? Sometimes it is God who punishes, but if God doesn't punish, someone else will.
Jiang Si clasped his fingers together and squeezed them hard.
She likes to be the one who enforces justice.
"Asi."
"Um?"
Yu Jin turned his eyes away from his wife's clenched hands and said with a smile, "We should hurry to the Prince of Xiang's Mansion."
Jiang Si stood up and said with a smile, "Okay."
Outside the window, on the street.
Cui Mingyue suddenly lifted the curtain.
Apart from the countless pairs of eyes looking ahead, there was no way to see the groom.
Was she abandoned by the King of Xiang halfway through her wedding?
Although Cui Mingyue was prepared to bear the consequences after hearing Zhu Ziyu's clamor, she still couldn't bear the consequences.
As soon as she loosened her grip, the curtain fell down and she collapsed in the sedan chair.
