"Move the sedan." Mu Lingjiu didn't want to waste words with Mu Linghuang here. There was no need.
"Mu Lingjiu!" Mu Linghuang's voice became much deeper.
Mu Lingjiu still had no intention of staying, and the uncles looked at each other.
The third uncle, carrying the giant sword, said to the other uncles, "You escort Jiu'er ahead, I'll follow behind."
Mu Linghuang said loudly: "If you want the betrothal gift, I will give it to you." There was no way she could be a concubine today. After weighing the two options, she had no choice but to give up the betrothal gift.
Mu Cheng said with a pained heart: "Huang'er...that's..." so much money!
"Dad! I have my own ideas."
Mu Linghuang interrupted Mu Cheng's next words. Of course, she felt sorry for the betrothal gift, but if she married the second prince as a concubine today, she would definitely be ridiculed in the future and would not be able to appear in public.
Mu Lingjiu's light voice came from the sedan chair, "Okay."
After one word, Mu Lingjiu's sedan chair left.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet suddenly became a lot more relaxed, but the joyful atmosphere of the wedding was gone, and everyone began to talk in low voices.
"Is Mu Lingjiu ill? How dare she cause a scene at the Second Prince's wedding banquet?"
"If this is done, it will be considered as an enmity with the royal family. How can we gain a foothold in the State of Chu in the future?"
"He's really crazy and stupid, unlike Ling Huang, who is really smart and knows how to make choices."
"Although I lost the betrothal gift today, I am still a respectable prince's consort, and I can become the queen in the future..."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Everyone's discussion also made Mu Linghuang look a little better.
The second prince held Mu Linghuang's hands and comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Ling Huang is fine. These are just some personal belongings. I will compensate you well in the future."
Mu Linghuang nodded gently, "Yes."
"Let's continue with the wedding ceremony." The King of Chu had lost face today, and his tone was weak. He had completely lost the joy of marrying a gifted girl.
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
The eunuch's high-pitched voice echoed throughout the Second Prince's residence.
Lu Zhibai stood up and was about to leave. The King of Chu immediately asked, "State Master, what are you going to do..."
Lu Zhibai brushed his sleeves slowly and said, "Now that the show is over, it's time to leave."
The King of Chu was startled and immediately reminded, "Grand Master, you haven't given your blessing to the newlyweds yet?"
"Blessing? Do these two deserve it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhibai turned away without stopping for a moment.
The King of Chu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Lu Zhibai. He could only watch him leave and hurriedly completed the ceremony.
Inside the palace, the Queen laughed until her wrinkles appeared on her face when she heard this. She supported her face with her hands and said:
"Noble Consort Shuxian is usually arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect her to be humiliated on a day like this. It's quite amusing. But that little girl from the Mu family is really bold. I'm afraid she's going to suffer some hardship next."
The maidservant beside her chuckled, "I'm afraid his madness hasn't healed yet. Everyone at the banquet said so."
"What a pity for such a good seedling." The Queen rolled her face gently with the jade wheel and sighed, "If I weren't crazy, I would have wanted to marry her to Bai'er."
"Queen, please don't say that. His Majesty is very angry today. It would not be good if it gets out." The maid reminded in a low voice.
The queen continued to laugh and gossip.
After Emperor Chu and Imperial Noble Consort Shuxian returned to the palace, they went to the bedroom and talked about what had happened today.
Imperial Noble Consort Shuxian was so angry that she covered her chest and cried.
"Your Majesty! You must discipline that little bitch! She has embarrassed you today. The Second Prince is your son, and she dares to provoke him."
"You still say that! If you hadn't said she was dead, why would I let them get married today?" The King of Chu shirked responsibility.
Imperial Noble Consort Shuxian pursed her lips and held Emperor Chu's hand aggrievedly, "I also heard it from Mu Cheng. Who knew they were lying?"
"Forget it, it's come to this." A hint of coldness flashed in the Emperor Chu's eyes. "Since Mu Lingjiu dared to cause trouble, he must be able to bear the consequences!"
The Imperial Concubine's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly asked tentatively, "Then your Majesty, are you planning to kill her?"
"Killing her today will definitely lead to criticism. Isn't there a monster hunt coming up soon? Let her participate."
The Chu State held a monster hunting event every three years. Any cultivator aged between twelve and thirty could participate, and the monsters they hunted would belong to them.
Naturally, the people who participated in this hunting activity were a mixed bunch, and heavy casualties often occurred in the struggle to snatch the monsters.
Even if Mu Lingjiu died in it, no one would suspect anything.
The Imperial Concubine gently rubbed the Emperor Chu's shoulders and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Chu smiled shrewdly, "The matter of Mu Lingjiu is easy to resolve. I'm more concerned about the Imperial Master. I originally thought that the Imperial Master would give Heng'er at least a sixth-grade elixir today, but he didn't give anything. I don't know what has upset him."
"The Imperial Master has always been eccentric and unkind. It's normal for him to do strange things. Let's not try to guess what he's thinking." The Imperial Concubine confirmed the matter of Mu Lingjiu and didn't want to mention anything else. She took the Emperor Chu's arm and went to sleep.
In the bridal chamber, the second prince lifted Mu Linghuang's red veil.
Mu Linghuang was dressed in a red robe and looked at the second prince with tender eyes, tears about to burst out.
The Second Prince was distracted for a moment and grabbed Mu Linghuang's hands, "Huang'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer today."
"I don't blame the Second Prince. I only blame my miserable fate for having a sister like that." She shook her head, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Don't worry, Huang'er. I will never let Mu Lingjiu live for more than seven days." The second prince promised solemnly.
"The Second Prince wants to protect Huang'er, so Huang'er is naturally happy. But, Sister Lingjiu has several uncles to protect her..." Mu Linghuang's expression dimmed a little.
