Chapter 349 Now, You Are My Wife



Chapter 349 Now, You Are My Wife

"Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Bow to your parents!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

This was a special wedding, with no laughter, no witnesses, and even no bride.

Only Xiao Jinxuan held the tablet and performed all the rituals seriously and persistently.

"The ceremony is over!"

With the last shout, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and stroked the name on the ranking with a gentle expression.

"Aning, now you are my wife."

This wedding soon caused an uproar throughout the capital.

Zhuang Qingyi fainted on the spot, but no one cared. In the end, the Empress Dowager sent someone to take her back and have the imperial physician treat her.

But she seemed to have been too shocked. Even when she woke up later, her eyes were dull and she looked as if she had lost all hope in life.

The most angry person was undoubtedly Emperor Zhaowen.

He even ordered his men to leave the palace and go directly to Prince Xuan's mansion to question him.

After what Xiao Jinxuan did, how could Xie Ting return to Beijing when he knew that his daughter was dead?

But when he arrived at Prince Xuan's Palace, Emperor Zhaowen was dumbfounded.

As soon as I entered the room, a strong smell of alcohol hit me in the face, and the empty wine jars all over the floor made it impossible to even find a place to step.

Xiao Jinxuan just sat paralyzed on the ground, holding the tablet in one hand and a jar of wine in the other, pouring it into his mouth.

Emperor Zhaowen frowned in anger, "You, you, you... you are a prince of a country, how can you die like this?"

"How disgraceful?" Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyes drunkenly, as if he didn't even recognize who was in front of him.

He smiled bitterly, his voice full of sadness, "My wife is dead...what kind of dignity do I have left..."

"A good person just disappeared without a trace. I can't even catch the murderer. What's the point of living?"

"I might as well go with her..."

After hearing these words, Emperor Zhaowen's anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He felt somewhat guilty about Xie Zhuoning's death.

He also knew that Xiao Jinxuan was resentful, so he turned a blind eye to Xiao Jinxuan's attempts to cause trouble for the Yin and Sima families, and just wanted Xiao Jinxuan to vent his anger.

At least Xiao Jinxuan is willing to cooperate and continue the wedding, which shows that he is still loyal.

But no one expected that he was so deeply in love with Xie Zhuoning that he agreed to the wedding just to marry Xie Zhuoning's tablet!

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Zhaowen felt pity for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit, but he also felt relieved in his heart.

At least, there is no need to suspect that he has any rebellious intentions.

Emperor Zhaowen left quickly, and before leaving he ordered:

On the grounds that King Xuan is too sad and needs to rest, we will close the door to visitors from now on!

Once this order was issued, it was equivalent to placing Xiao Jinxuan under house arrest in disguise, cutting off all contact between him and court officials.

Xiao Bicheng, who heard all this, was teasing the little grandson in the East Palace.

He stroked the little grandson's chin and said with a smile, "In this case, I, the seventeenth uncle, will become a useless man. Not to mention the old immortal Prince Yong, who is said to be half dead now. After all, I am the orthodox one. What belongs to me is mine. Don't you agree, son?"

Although the little grandson of the emperor didn't understand, he still danced and babbled.

Xiao Bicheng laughed even more happily, "Xue'er, look, even our son said so!"

At this moment, in Prince Yong's Mansion.

Prince Yong pursed his lips, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, then stood up and walked out. "Is the news true?"

Yi Ziyan nodded, "It's true. Prince Xuan was drunk and unconscious. Even His Majesty left disappointed when he saw him. It seems that the death of the eldest daughter of the Xie family has dealt a great blow to him."

After all, in order to marry the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Prince Xuan even gave up his position as a prince, which shows how deeply he loved her.

Prince Yong sneered, "Being like that for a woman is really a waste of your ambition. By the way, have you found out the origin of Hongyue, your subordinate?"

"Not yet." Speaking of this, Yi Ziyan's expression immediately changed.

Yan Hongyue has worked under him for many years and can almost be said to be his right-hand man.

Therefore, she knew a lot about Qianjinlou, and even had a lot of evidence in her hands, enough to bring about the destruction of the remaining half of Qianjinlou!

As a result, they are now extremely cautious and have even kept the fact that Prince Yong has recovered from his injury a secret from outsiders. They are always on guard against the possibility that she might suddenly throw out the evidence.

Prince Yong paused, "Is he the prince's man?"

“Probably not.”

If she was the prince's person, why would she poison the little prince?

"Is it possible that he is Xiao Jinxuan's man?"

“That’s impossible.”

If it was Xiao Jinxuan's man, then last time it was not just a simple loss of a manor, but the entire Qianjin Mansion was wiped out.

Prince Yong's face was cold, "Could it be that there are other forces in this capital city?"

Just when the whole capital was spreading the news that Xiao Jinxuan was too heartbroken, at this moment in Prince Xuan's mansion, Yang Lie, Murong Yan, Xia Ju and others gathered together.

Xiao Jinxuan changed out of his wine-stained clothes and walked in from the door, looking cold and fierce, unstoppable.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan!" Everyone saluted.

Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand, "Everyone, please take a seat."

But before he even sat down, Yang Lie couldn't wait to ask, "Your Highness, is Miss Xie...really dead?"

Until now, he still refused to believe the news.

How could that woman, who had a bright look in her eyes, was so resourceful and determined to create a huge wave in this world that belonged exclusively to men, die so suddenly?

Although Murong Yan didn't ask, he kept clenching his sleeves and looked over nervously, wanting to hear Xiao Jinxuan give a negative answer.

However, the answer is bound to be disappointing.

Xiao Jinxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I let you come because you are the people she trusts the most. So, you should also know everything."

Every time the news of Xie Zhuoning's death was mentioned, it was undoubtedly like stabbing him to pieces again for Xiao Jinxuan.

In his mind, he recalled the scene of her being shattered in front of his eyes, and his heart was trembling.

After hearing this, Yang Lie and Murong Yan fell silent. It took them a lot of effort to finally accept this fact.

Murong Yan endured the pain in his chest, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a determined look, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, I want revenge, tell me how to do it!"

Fearing that he would be left behind, Yang Lie immediately raised his hand, "There's still me!"

If it weren't for the eldest daughter of the Xie family, he would have died long ago, and there would be no way for him to repay her kindness. The only thing he could do was to avenge her.

Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and said with murderous intent, "If you want revenge, you need to defeat them one by one."

He must first fulfill Xie Zhuoning's wish, overthrow Prince Yong and the Crown Prince, and change Daye before he can fight against Ye Wuque.

And to deal with them, we have to deal with them one by one.

When the Qianjin Tower was first seized, the emperor detained the matter as soon as the investigation reached the Minister of War Huo Wei.

But there are still many clues that have been leaked.

Huo Wei has been connected with Duke Zheng's Xichuan Army in recent years. If we follow this line of inquiry, we should be able to find a lot of good stuff.

Now that he was under house arrest, he could hide from the public and investigate the matter secretly.

If they could take this opportunity to overthrow Duke Zheng, Prince Yong would lose his military power and become a toothless tiger, unable to cause any trouble anymore.

"Xichuan is adjacent to Nanyang, and we may need the help of Marquis Changxing at that time."

Yang Lie said without hesitation: "It is my duty!"

Of course, we can't just do nothing in the capital.

Xiao Jinxuan turned to Murong Xu and said, "After the New Year, it will be the Spring Examination. Students from all over the country have arrived in the capital one after another. You stay in the capital and be responsible for making friends with students from all walks of life."

Murong Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. "In fact, the eldest lady has already started planning for this matter a long time ago. Many of the candidates are our people."

Even I had promised her that I would get a good ranking.

Xiao Jinxuan paused, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and turned to look at Xia Ju, "What about you?"

Xia Ju looked at him steadily, "I want to follow you!"

"Why?"

"I don't believe it!"

She didn't believe that the eldest lady was dead, so she wanted to follow him until she found the eldest lady!
