Chapter 222: Wedding in Three Days
Ji Weiming made a shocking request, and the scene fell into complete silence.
The emperor's face turned from white to green, from green to red, and from red to black. After going through all the colors, he let out a long breath.
"I, it's approved."
Silver teeth shattered.
Giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork is better than giving birth to these two rebellious sons!
Ji Wenyi couldn't accept it, so he swung his sleeves and strode forward, "Father!"
The military officers in the palace thought he was planning to assassinate them and blocked his way.
The emperor waved his hand wearily, "Take the deposed crown prince away."
Ji Wenyi was forced to leave.
"Ji Weiming, I won't allow it! She's alone!"
There was a lot of noise outside, and Ji Wenyi's voice was getting farther and farther away.
Ye Xiaoman bit her fingers anxiously. What should she do?
She doesn't want to get married at all!
She was so anxious that she tried to jump over the wall, but she couldn't think of a good solution.
The emperor is already discussing the marriage with Ji Weiming.
The divine realm strictly abides by the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. It is not allowed by law for a son to marry his stepmother.
The emperor chewed handfuls of the quick-acting heart-saving pills to keep his emotions stable.
"First, find a replacement for Gong Zhaoyi. The replacement will take her identity and return to Ximing Kingdom."
Ji Weiming thought of Ye Xiaoman's apprentice, the real Princess Gong Xier of Ximing Kingdom. He nodded and said, "I already have a candidate."
The emperor didn't have the energy to care anymore, "You arrange it."
He said, "Give Gong Zhaoyi a new identity."
Ji Weiming quickly said, "The surname Ye is the best."
One of the ministers stepped forward and said, "This old official happens to be named Ye. My young daughter went astray while practicing qigong yesterday and unfortunately passed away. We haven't issued an obituary yet."
The emperor said, "Okay, Gong Zhaoyi will be your biological daughter from now on. I now decree the marriage, and Prince Rui will marry your daughter from the Ye family as his principal wife."
He looked at Ji Weiming, who couldn't wait to say, "The wedding will be tomorrow."
Ye Xiaoman let out a scream, and everyone thought she was cheering in surprise.
"Nonsense," the emperor disagreed. "How can we rush the prince's wedding? It will take at least three days to prepare all the wedding supplies."
"It happens to be the day before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods," the emperor agreed to Ji Weiming's wish. "Let's arrange it this way."
Ji Weiming was overjoyed, "Thank you, father."
Ye Xiaoman was in tears.
Only one thought swirled in my head: Huh? I'm getting married now? Huh?
The emperor was deeply shocked by his own scandal and stood up from the throne in a daze.
I am going back to the Yangxin Palace to recuperate now.
"Father," Prince Teng stopped him and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about, "So what about the current position of Crown Prince..."
The emperor pointed at him casually and said: "You will be the crown prince from now on."
Dismissal of court.
Because this royal scandal was too scandalous, the emperor was very concerned about his reputation and ordered everyone present, except Ji Weiming and Ye Xiaoman, to swear a blood oath before leaving and not to leak out what happened today.
The head of the Imperial Observatory originally wanted to report today's events to Jiaying, but had to give up.
Why was the crown prince deposed? Because he attempted to usurp the throne through a military coup.
Prince Rui was granted a marriage, and his spouse was Lord Ye's daughter.
This is all the "truth" that people outside can know.
Ye Xiaoman stroked her hair and was crying when she suddenly became happy.
This means that Xiao Chujing didn't know that she was getting married, and Jiaying didn't know either.
She is so lucky.
Can this continue to walk the tightrope?
Prince Teng walked out of the palace and stared blankly at the sky, his round face full of confusion.
He becomes the crown prince now?
I don't understand how he got his position...
Ye Xiaoman returned to her palace with a confused expression.
Ji Weiming excitedly returned to the palace to prepare for the wedding, completely disregarding his brother's life or death.
In accordance with the emperor's request, Ye Xiaoman had to leave the palace immediately today and exchange her identity with Gong Xier. Gong Xier returned to her hometown without stopping. She returned to Lord Ye's house and waited for Ji Weiming to come and marry her.
Ye Xiaoman looked up to the sky and sighed.
Take it one step at a time, otherwise you might as well die halfway.
In the palace, the maids and guards brought by Ye Xiaoman stared at the imperial edict in a daze, not understanding why they were sent back to their homeland.
Ye Xiaoman told them: "Your eldest princess is freed."
"Let's go, pack up your things and prepare to leave the palace."
Concubine Shu sent several messages to thank Ye Xiaoman.
[Sister, you are my God! ]
[I didn't expect you to actually succeed! Thank you on behalf of my son!]
"Don't worry, from now on, as long as we have something to eat, we won't let you down! Just wait for prosperity and wealth!"
Ye Xiaoman asked quietly: [Sister, can you help me escape from marriage? ]
Concubine Shu never replied again.
Ye Xiaoman packed her things in a daze, and of course she did not forget to put the nine dragons in her pocket.
Xiao Chujing took a break from fishing and ran to see her.
Her fellow disciples who were undercover in the palace also came to work in her palace.
Seeing the luggage scattered all over the floor, Xiao Chujing asked, "What happened?"
On the way here, the eldest sister met several low-ranking concubines packing their luggage, and she told them the information she had found out.
"The old emperor suddenly showed mercy and released a group of young concubines from the palace."
"Gong Xier, played by Junior Sister, is also on the list."
Ye Xiaoman lowered her head to pack her luggage, very obediently.
Xiao Chujing walked over to help her. "I've searched the palace under the guise of a guard, and there's nothing suspicious. This is good, as it saves Junior Sister from faking her own death."
The eldest brother said, "We will each cancel our status as palace servants and prepare to return to the sect tomorrow."
"Don't—" Ye Xiaoman and the eldest senior sister said at the same time.
Ye Xiaoman was unable to leave the divine realm because she was being watched by Ji Weiming's men.
The eldest sister has not yet gone to the nightclub she had made an appointment with.
The senior sister suggested playing in the divine realm for a few more days.
"The God Worship Ceremony is an annual grand ceremony of the Great Dynasty. It is very lively."
"Everyone has finally come on this long journey, and you've worked hard on the mission. Let's see the world before we go back."
The eldest brother readily agreed.
"Then we will wait until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods is over before setting off."
Ye Xiaoman approached the senior sister and whispered, "We..."
The eldest sister winked at her and said, "Let's go play tomorrow night."
Ye Xiaoman was moved. Even if she died in three days, she wanted to be happy first.
The palace gates opened.
The group followed the imperial concubines' convoy that was being sent out of the palace and left the palace.
First go back to the temporary base rented by the eldest brother.
"Can I go back now?" Gong Xier asked in surprise.
Ye Xiaoman pulled her into the hut and told her about how her real owner had become a substitute.
"It's okay, as long as I can go back. The old emperor said that he will no longer care about my affairs. I have no worries."
Gong Xier happily pulled Ye Xiaoman and kept talking, "Thank you so much, I originally thought..."
Her eyes were red. "I will never have the chance to return to my hometown in this lifetime."
She wanted to bow three times to Ye Xiaoman to express her gratitude, but Ye Xiaoman quickly stopped her.
Ye Xiaoman was worried now, thinking that Gong Xier was paying homage to the spirit tablet.
"I will definitely do my best when I go back," she patted Ye Xiaoman's shoulder and promised proudly, "When I become successful, I will bring you here to enjoy the good life."
Ye Xiaoman tearfully said, "Let's hope I can survive until the end of the month."
