Chapter 238: Wedding (Part 3)
She looked at Shi Yu, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know that the bracelet was poisonous, but I know that the Queen Mother did want to kill you.
Not only that, but the Queen Mother also wanted to kill the Emperor because she felt that he was putting the world before her.
She wanted an emperor who would listen to her in everything, so that she could hold all the power in the world.
But the Second Prince's plan failed, and she felt that it was the Prince who saved His Majesty in time, ruining her good plan. Perhaps for this reason, she had the intention of poisoning him today."
"Mother, is what she said true? Do you really want to kill us brothers?"
The emperor looked grief-stricken. "Didn't you say you were bewitched by the Second Prince? Didn't you say you only wanted to see your brother Yu get married today? Why did you poison him? I need an explanation from you. You can't just keep silent every time."
He seemed very angry, so he leaned slightly closer to the Queen Mother, waiting for her reply.
"Royal brother, please don't waste your energy. Every time Mother does something and doesn't want to admit it, she always behaves like this."
The Queen Mother understood everything at this point. Her plan had long been seen through by them. Even her own son, the Emperor, helped Shi Yu, that bastard, to plot against her.
She was burning with rage and wanted to wake the emperor up and tell him that he had been bewitched by Shi Yu.
Her body moved according to her heart, and her hand slapped the emperor's face just as quickly.
“Bang!”
The whole room was shocked, and then there was deathly silence.
The Queen Mother herself was also confused. Her hands were unable to move, so how could she lift them up again? Soon, she understood that it was Lan Shu. It must be Lan Shu who did it.
Let her beat the emperor in public!
The emperor was her son and even more so the Son of Heaven. She beat the Son of Heaven in front of everyone.
The empress dowager was even more furious. She was angry that the emperor had plotted against her to this extent.
Previously, a nanny accused her of plotting to murder the emperor, and today she beat the emperor in public. How will the people look at her? How will the civil and military officials look at her? She will never have a good life again.
But Shi Yu said, "Mother, you have poisoned me more than once or twice. I was given my life by you, and now you want to take it away. I have nothing to say.
But you can't treat my brother like this. He has done his best for you. You can't be so vicious just for your own ambition."
As soon as Shi Yu finished speaking, an imperial censor came out to impeach the empress dowager, saying that she had the delusion of trying to crow the rooster at dawn and bullying the emperor with filial piety, and that she was not worthy of the position of empress dowager.
There was also the Royal Clan Director who first rebuked the Empress Dowager for her arrogance and malicious intentions, and then earnestly advised the Emperor not to lose his royal dignity for the sake of filial piety.
At this point, everyone understood that the previous rumors were true. The Queen Mother not only poisoned Prince Rong, but also attempted to murder the Emperor and support the Second Prince to ascend to the throne.
The ambition is obvious.
It is unknown who took the lead, but they demanded that the Queen Mother be demoted to a commoner.
One person calls, and a hundred people respond.
The Queen Mother was so angry that a sound came out of her throat, which sounded like a disdainful sneer to everyone.
If she could make a sound, she could open her mouth. If she could open her mouth, everyone would see that her tongue had been pulled out, and the emperor and Shi Yu's tricks would be exposed.
The Queen Mother realized this and tried to open her mouth, but her back hurt again and she couldn't open her mouth.
Lan Shu, you bitch, you are all bitches, the Queen Mother cursed viciously in her heart.
Lan Shu glanced at the sky and threw the last peanut in her hand. The Queen Mother fainted gorgeously. She sneered, "Pretending to faint again when something happens."
This sentence explained to everyone why the Queen Mother fainted.
The emperor understood what she meant. This farce should end and should not disrupt his daughter's wedding.
He followed the wishes of his ministers, deposed the Queen Mother, and imprisoned her in the harem. Then, with a look of deep sorrow on his face, he took the Queen Mother out of Prince Rong's Mansion and returned to the palace.
No one expected that Prince Rong's wedding would be on the day the Queen Mother was deposed. Some people thought it was unlucky, but Wei Qingyan didn't care.
On the contrary, they thought it was something worth being happy about. No one, including the Xie family, would make a fuss about the deposed empress dowager's life in the harem.
For a woman who has enjoyed all the glory and splendor, losing her honor, power, and health and even taking her life is painful.
She will spend the rest of her life paying for the evil she has done.
Thinking of this, she moved her fingers slightly and hooked out the fingers under the sleeves of the person next to her.
Gong Jin was just thinking that his master's wedding was going to be a great occasion, but the Queen Mother's actions had ruined the atmosphere. Noticing Wei Qingyan's little gesture, he hurriedly said, "Master, hold Master's hand."
"You kid..." Wei Shiran slapped her son on the back of the head and said, "At least consider your aunt's face."
But he also had a happy smile on his face. This was the benefit of not knowing his sister yet. He had just become a relative of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, and now he could bring his family members to become relatives of the Rong Prince Mansion and participate in his sister's marriage throughout the whole process.
Xiaoxiao and Donggua were Gong Jin's loyal followers. Upon hearing this, they also shouted, "Hold hands..."
Wei Wanyi's two children had become familiar with Xiaoxiao these days, and upon hearing her words, they also shouted, "Hold hands..."
Everyone was inspired by this and the atmosphere became lively again. Everyone cheered and sent the two into the bridal chamber.
Because of the Queen Mother's poisoning, Shi Yu canceled some of the activities of the bridal chamber disturbance, saying that he was afraid that the Queen Mother might have another trick up her sleeve.
It was a fashion in the Wei Dynasty to have bridal chamber disturbances, with many different ways of doing things, bold behaviors, and even a bit vulgar. Shi Yu was reluctant to let Wei Qingyan suffer, and even more reluctant to let her be teased by others.
Everyone expressed their understanding and said some auspicious words, and then Wei Shiran came in personally carrying dumplings.
The matchmaker hurriedly invited the two newlyweds to eat dumplings. As soon as Wei Qingyan took a bite, the matchmaker asked, "Are you going to have the baby?"
When Wei Qingyan was dressed as a man, he had followed his brothers in the army to have a wedding night, so he naturally understood the reasoning and responded crisply, "Birth."
Everyone started to make a fuss again, and after going through some harmless procedures of asking for good luck, Shi Yu winked at the matchmaker.
The matchmaker looked as if she understood everything and led everyone out of the bridal chamber with a smile.
When there were only two people left in the room, Shi Yu stared at Wei Qingyan in a daze.
Wei Qingyan prided himself on being thick-skinned, but he couldn't stand being looked at like that, "You..."
Don't look at me like that.
Before she could finish her words, Shi Yu held her hand and asked, "Who am I?"
"Shi Yu."
"That was the name we used before. It's time to change it now." Shi Yu continued to stare at her without blinking.
Wei Qingyan thought for a moment, "Prince?"
I'm not used to being called that.
Shi Yu leaned closer, "No, think about it again."
Wei Qingyan's ears suddenly felt hot, and she pursed her lips slightly, "Husband."
These two words seemed to put Shi Yu's heart, which had been hanging for many years, into reality. His heart suddenly felt hot. He raised his hand and gently stroked Wei Qingyan's face, "Call me again."
"Husband...jun"
The last word was entangled between their lips and teeth. Just when Wei Qingyan felt that she was about to suffocate, the man let go of her lips and held her tightly in his long arms.
He rested his chin on her smooth forehead and said, "No one else will be in the room. Do you want to take off the mask?"
Today was their wedding day, and Wei Qingyan also wanted to face him with her true face, so she nodded and said, "The potion is in the makeup box."
She was almost breathless after being kissed by Shi Yu, and her voice was softer and more seductive than usual.
The man who was about to get up to get her the potion was aroused again, and he held the back of her head and kissed her.
This time, Shi Yu just tasted it briefly. He was afraid that if he continued kissing, he would not be able to leave the room.
After releasing the man, he took out the potion and helped Wei Qingyan take off the human skin mask. Only then did he discover that the face under the mask was also made up today.
Especially the scar between his eyebrows, which was covered by a carefully drawn red lotus. Shi Yu felt that Wei Qingyan's real face was much more beautiful and vivid than the mask.
After taking two deep breaths to calm his restlessness, Shi Yu helped Wei Qingyan take off the heavy phoenix crown and bridal robe, changed into comfortable red casual clothes, and prepared to go to the front to greet the guests.
Someone grabbed his sleeve and Wei Qingyan said, "We haven't had the wedding wine yet."
Shi Yu paused and said, "Wait for me to come back and drink. I'll be back soon. I'll ask Wu Qiu to bring you whatever you want to eat."
Wei Qingyan hadn't eaten much today, but perhaps because the wedding was tiring, she had no appetite, so she said, "Just some light porridge will be fine."
How could Shi Yu bear to let his newlywed wife eat porridge, so he went to the kitchen himself and took the porridge with Wu Qiu, as well as the meal that had been prepared in advance by the kitchen.
He said he would be back soon, and he really was. Wei Qingyan had just finished his meal and showered when he came back reeking of alcohol.
As soon as he entered the room, he pulled Wei Qingyan to sit down beside the bed. Just when Wei Qingyan thought he would sit down as well, Shi Yu suddenly knelt on one knee with a pious expression, "Xiao Yan, there is something I want to confess to you.
I guessed that the Queen Mother would tamper with the wedding wine, and I also knew that you were afraid that I would lose the seal of merit and would not consummate the marriage, so I asked my brother to replace the Queen Mother's poisoned wine with wine spiked with aphrodisiac..."
The emperor, who had just followed Lan Shu to the outside of the bridal chamber, was gritting his teeth.
Shi Yu, you bastard!
Fortunately, he was smart and saw that Shi Yu was a coward in front of his daughter, so he confessed to his daughter in advance what he had promised Shi Yu. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been sold out by this bastard Shi Yu?
What a piece of shit! He just married his daughter and now he wants to sell him out. Luckily, he was worried and followed Lan Shu here, otherwise he wouldn't know how shameless Shi Yu is...
As he was secretly complaining in his heart, he caught a glimpse of Lan Shu flicking something towards the crack of the door and asked with a quick glance, "What is that?"
Lan Shu uttered three words lightly, "Hehuanxiang."
