Chapter 498 Wedding
Darkness...
Endless darkness in front of her.
The light from the cracks in the stone fell on Su Yanran's face, and her body was already unconscious.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and what she saw was a dead face that had turned blue and gray, and even the head was half smashed.
There were still rotten meat and sticky blood on the chest of her clothes.
She wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound.
Pain came from her numb lower body. She lowered her head and saw that her legs were crushed by the big stone and her knees were shattered and broken.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
Only then did she vaguely see from the clothes that the rotten meat stuck on the board was Helian Chi.
“Help…Help…”
There was no one in the Empty Valley, and her cry for help was like an embroidery needle falling to the ground, and no sound was heard at all.
“Boom boom boom…”
It was the sound of thousands of horse hooves trampling overhead!
The Great Yan Army…
The Great Yan Army was going to cross the Empty Valley and attack the Kingdom of Jin!
Su Yanran’s eyes revealed a look of fear, because she and Heiyun were hypnotized and brought a devastating disaster to the Kingdom of Jin.
She also wanted to use the Kingdom of Jin to avenge herself and the Su family. She also wanted to face Jiang Xinyue, trample her under her feet, and make her confess her sins.
As a result… As a result, not only did she fail to compete with Jiang Xinyue, but she also caused the destruction of the Kingdom of Jin just by a face-to-face encounter?
The hope in her eyes was extinguished little by little. The vultures looking for food in the pile of dead bodies swooped down, covering the little light above her head.
Her life had come to an end.
In the eighteenth year of Xuanwu in Dayan, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, Fusang was destroyed, Goguryeo was destroyed...
The emperors of the remaining small countries wrote to the Heavenly Dynasty Dayan, asking to be demoted to vassal kings and submit to Dayan.
In the winter of that year, Jiang Xinyan finally waited for Yan Sanlang to come back.
This time, the General's Mansion and the Jiang family did not dare to delay any longer, and set the wedding date in the early spring of the following year, which was less than two months away.
It turned out that Helian Ying's arrow had hit the Yan family's heirloom, the golden soft hedgehog armor, and Yan Sanlang had not lost a single hair, just to confuse the soldiers of the three armies and make them mistakenly think that the Jin people shot and killed their military advisor.
While spreading the news everywhere, it also made all the soldiers in his camp muster up their strength to seek revenge on the Jin Kingdom.
Until Dayan began to clean up those surrounding small countries, the Jin people, from the emperor to the people, were scolded.
If they hadn't provoked them first, how could Dayan have started a war and cleaned up all these small countries that were trying to survive in the cracks?
Therefore, those Jin people who were destroyed and fell into various places were disliked, excluded, targeted, and expelled by everyone...
Those Jin people tried their best to learn the official language of Dayan, hiding their hometown accents, and became the group of people who survived.
"Crackle, crackle..."
The deafening sound of firecrackers was heard incessantly, from the residence of the General of the Cavalry to the residence of the Grand Scholar Jiang, all you could see were bright red lanterns and red silk.
All the surrounding shops stopped business, and on the closed doors were double happiness characters of various shapes.
Today is the wedding of the third son of the General's residence and the third daughter of the Grand Scholar Jiang's residence.
The carriages and horses for the wedding were lined up from one end of the street to the other, in an orderly manner without any disorder. Wherever they passed, the trees on the roadside were tied with red ribbons. When the breeze blew, the red color of the trees fluttered in the green leaves, adding a bit of beauty to the festive atmosphere.
The streets were full of people who came to watch this grand wedding. The streets were really empty and the crowds were bustling.
Fortunately, the emperor appreciated the merits of the general and loved the Jiang family, so he ordered the government to send many guards to maintain law and order to avoid any stampede or the crowd rushing out and crashing into the wedding procession.
The bride, wearing a bridal tiara and a gorgeous robe, sat on the wedding sedan chair covered in bright powder and gold. She secretly lifted the red veil, revealing a face that made everything pale in comparison.
When the maidservant beside her saw this, she quickly pulled it down in disapproval: "Miss, the veil has to be lifted by the aunt."
Jiang Xinyan blushed. How could she not know that the veil had to be lifted by the aunt?
She just... just...
listened to the noisy noise outside and felt that it was a little unreal.
When Madam Zhou was still alive, she thought that it would be nice to marry an ordinary family as a concubine. She didn't necessarily have to be rich or favored, but she could live a stable life and end the rest of her life in peace.
Later, when Ajie entered the palace and was favored, she thought again, then she would ask a poor scholar to marry her as his wife, so that he could pass the imperial examination and become Ajie's helper. Even if the scholar wanted to take a concubine, he had to get her consent.
Later, as Ajie became more and more favored to the point of being the most favored in the harem, she dared not think about it anymore, but she still hoped in her heart that she could meet a loving partner for life in the future.
Now, she seems to have met him.
This man accepts her cowardice, understands her lack of confidence, sees through her skin and sees all her shortcomings, but he still resolutely rejected better ones and chose her.
Although Sanlang always said that he just did what a normal man should do, it was not something worth showing off.
But in this world, there are many people who are unfeeling and ungrateful, and there are very few people who are honest and kind. What normal men can do, most people can't do.
The general's mansion originally had a family rule that a wife can only take a concubine if she is still childless at the age of 40. The generals, including the eldest son of the Yan family, don't have concubines. Besides his wife, he doesn't even have a servant to warm his bed.
She doesn't know if Sanlang is sincere in his promise to only have her in his life?
Or... how long can this sincerity last?
But at least, she is willing to believe in Sanlang wholeheartedly now.
The spring breeze brought warmth to the capital. Jiang Xinyan was led down from the wedding sedan by someone. When the matchmaker was about to carry her on her back, the groom, who was in wedding clothes, patted her from behind and said, "I'll do it."
"This... this is against the rules."
"She doesn't have to follow the rules with me."
Yan Sanlang smiled mischievously and squatted down: "Yan'er, get up."
It was enough for his wife to be happy, cheerful and healthy in this life. She didn't need to follow so many unnecessary rules.
Jiang Xinyan smiled sweetly, and slowly lay on his back, feeling each other's body temperature, their ears were all red.
In the crowd, Jiang Xinyue held the emperor's hand, and they dressed like ordinary people, grabbing the wedding candies that the servants sprinkled from the roof together, and they were as happy as two ordinary couples.
But their looks and temperaments were both superior, which destined them to be extraordinary.
"Ah!"
The emperor heard the girl's coquettish cry, and before the emperor's brain could react, his body had quickly raised his arms to catch the girl who fell from behind.
But he didn't stretch out his hand, but used his elbow to press against the girl's neck.
"Cough cough cough cough... Young... Young man, you pinched me... pinched my neck."
