Chapter 13 Who will pity me when my beauty fades and my fragrance disappears
Xiwen was startled, stumbled, and fell limply into the arms of the man who came the next moment. Her pale face was full of miserable tears. She raised her head through her tearful eyes, and when she saw Tinglan, she could no longer hold back her uncomfortable emotions. She pouted and sobbed, "Tinglan... I want to go back to the carriage, I want to go back to the palace..."
Tinglan was so distressed that her eyes were filled with tears. She had never seen the princess so sad. It seemed as if she would collapse at the next moment. She patted Xiwen's back desperately and coaxed her with sobs, "Okay, okay, I'll help the princess back to the carriage right away." As she spoke, Tinglan helped Xiwen walk out the door, not forgetting to turn her hand behind her back and gesture to Xie Fei who was standing in the corner.
Xie Fei watched Xiwen leave the garden with a gloomy face. She leaned timidly on Tinglan with her frail body, and her steps staggered as if she was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xie Fei felt angry for the first time in his life. He brought Xiwen here. She was his and he was the one who protected her. However, he failed to protect her and she suffered a heavy blow.
Liang Shao, Chen Bing'er.
Very good, you are very good.
Xie Feiqing's cold eyes stared at the two people in the pavilion without blinking. Puffs of black smoke lingered around him. The aura around him was instantly terrifying. His voice was so cold that it made people shudder: "Liang Shao."
Lu Qi followed Xie Fei and was frightened by this aura to the point that his scalp went numb. Even in the hottest day, cold sweat broke out on his back and went straight into his limbs and bones. He couldn't help but shiver all over. He swallowed hard and said, "Prince... Do you want it?" As he spoke, Lu Qi made a gesture of cutting his neck with his hand and asked cautiously.
Xie Fei did not answer him. His cold eyes swept across the pavilion and looked straight at the fiery red bridal chamber not far away. He remembered that when he took Lu Qi and Ting Lan out to look for Xi Wen because she had not returned for a long time, he was worried. He accidentally ran into the maid who was preparing the wedding wine. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and slowly revealed a cold smile: "Killing him is really a bargain for him."
Lu Qi was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, my lord?"
Xie Fei turned his eyes and glanced at Lu Qi until Lu Qi's hands and feet became numb. Then he said with a half-smile, "Doesn't he want to carry on the family line?"
"This prince will make sure that he has no descendants!"
Lu Qi understood what the prince meant instantly. He lowered his eyes and replied respectfully: "Yes, I understand. I'll do it right away." After that, Lu Qi disappeared in a flash.
When Lu Qi finished his work and returned to Xie Fei, a group of rough men from the barracks who were familiar with Liang Shao were surrounding him as he entered the bridal chamber. Tang You and the others saw that it was getting dark, and they were just nodding acquaintances with Liang Shao, so they were about to say goodbye and leave, but they saw Xie Fei get up and follow him to the bridal chamber, so they followed him too.
"Liang Shao, quickly lift up the bride's veil and let us see how pretty she is. She is so charming that you even gave up drinking wine."
"Yes, yes, Liang Shao, you really value women over friends. We brothers finally got together to drink, but you only thought about the beauty. You should be punished!"
"Three cups of wine as punishment, three cups of wedding wine, the bride will be punished as well."
Amid the noise, Liang Shao lifted Chen Bing'er's veil. When Chen Bing'er timidly opened her eyes, Liang Shao and the brothers behind him were all stunned.
Chen Bing'er had a pretty face and was already good-looking. Today she put on exquisite makeup and wore an intricate pearl hairpin on her head. Such a delicate beauty with spring waves in her eyes excited this group of rough people who had been suffering from drought for a long time, and their eyes turned red and they swallowed their saliva secretly.
At this time, the matchmaker next to them came over with a smile and a maid. She fed Chen Bing'er a bite of the raw dumplings and asked with a smile, "Are you going to give birth?"
Chen Bing'er lowered her eyes shyly and said timidly, "Give birth."
This sweet voice made Liang Shao's heart suddenly ripple with joy. He immediately saw several people behind him staring at his wife with obsessed eyes.
Seeing these men being so fascinated by his wife, Liang Shao felt both proud and unhappy. He was proud that these men's performances satisfied his vanity to a great extent, but he was unhappy that his wife was seen by other men. Under the contradiction, reason finally defeated desire. Liang Shao slightly turned sideways to block the wolf-like gazes of those men, and said unhappily: "Okay, okay, the bride has also seen it, why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me to drive you away?"
One of them came to his senses first. He reached out and pulled the others, grinning and saying, "Liang Shao, don't even think about escaping. Let's drink three cups of wedding wine and leave immediately!"
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Chen Bing'er's rosy red lips out of the corner of his eye. Beautiful women were most charming when they were drinking, but he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight because of his fascination with her.
Upon hearing this, the other people also echoed the words. When Liang Shao saw this scene, he knew that they would never leave easily without drinking the wedding wine, so he ordered the matchmaker to bring three cups of wine, and he and Chen Bing'er drank it hand in hand.
"Alright?" Liang Shao turned over the wine glass, indicating that there was not a drop of wine left, and then urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, I want to have my wedding night!"
As he said that, Liang Shao pushed with his big hand, and several people were pushed directly to the door. They were about to step out of the room while shouting to go drink wine. At this moment, a strong, cold and terrifying aura suddenly descended outside the door. Liang Shao and his men had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and their perception of danger was stronger than others. Several people shivered involuntarily, stopped their hands almost instantly and looked outside the door.
"If you want a bridal chamber, I'm afraid you'll have to ask this prince whether he agrees first." Xie Fei, wearing a black and red robe with gold silk, walked slowly towards the crowd with his hands behind his back. With each step, the pressure became heavier, as if he was stepping on several people's hearts.
Those people felt something was wrong. Xie Fei's words just now were clearly about Liang Shao. Although they were brothers with Liang Shao, they were not to the extent of offending Xie Fei for him. Besides, looking at Xie Fei's momentum, even if they got together, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Thinking of this, several people hurriedly said respectfully: "Sir, we are waiting..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Fei swung his wide sleeves and rolled the men out of the room and threw them aside. He glanced at the embarrassed men with his cold eyes and said indifferently, "Get lost. This prince does not hit irrelevant people."
Everyone looked at this scene in shock. They never knew that the gentle and handsome Prince Xie could be so strong. Is he still a human being? They couldn't help but ask in their hearts.
The people lying on the ground were extremely shocked. They were not even a match for Master Xie. So when they heard what Xie Fei said, they dared not say a word. They covered their chests, lowered their heads, and hurried away.
The whole courtyard was in complete silence. Liang Shao was also very shocked, but as the host, he had already lost face at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. He could not back down at this moment. He frowned and looked at Xie Fei unhappily, saying, "What does this mean, Master Xie? I feel that I have not offended you, but you ruined my wedding banquet and hurt my guests. Please give me an explanation, Master. Otherwise, even if you are of noble status and have great martial arts skills, I, Liang Shao, will fight you to the death!"
"Explanation? Do I look like a man who can explain?" Xie Fei looked at Liang Shao and said lightly.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Liang Shao pulled out the sword from the guard beside him, held it in his hand, and rushed towards Xie Fei with a loud shout.
After glancing at Liang Shao lightly, Xie Fei took a light step and instantly disappeared from the spot, appearing directly in the new house.
Chen Bing'er had heard the noise outside a long time ago. She was about to get up and go out to take a look, but the next moment she met Xie Fei's cold gaze. Before she could say anything, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Her body seemed not to belong to her, and she flew up so lightly. Chen Bing'er looked at Xie Fei with horror as he took her out the door, exposing her to the public. At the same time, her head suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if needles were piercing her acupoints. She couldn't help but screaming in pain: "Brother Liang...save me, ah, save me...ah...I, Bing'er...I'm in so much pain!"
"Xie Fei! Let Bing'er go. Come to me if you have anything to say. It's no use bullying a weak woman!" Liang Shao heard Chen Bing'er's painful cry and became furious. He was about to pounce on her with the sword in his hand.
However, before he could take a step, Xie Fei snapped his fingers and a stream of true energy instantly hit his knees. Liang Shao bent his knees and fell directly to the ground. His body swayed and he was about to fall flat on his face. At this critical moment, he used his backhand to prop up the sword on the ground, avoiding an even more embarrassing fall.
"You? You're no match for me." Xie Fei slowly walked up to Liang Shao and said slowly.
Liang Shao was stunned when he heard this, and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed. He struggled to speak, but a bloody taste surged up in his throat and sprayed out as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chen Bing'er's wails were still echoing above the silent courtyard. Horrible scenes flashed through her mind: being chopped with knives and axes, being cooked in oil, being tortured to death... She felt as if she had walked through the eighteen levels of hell. Her bright red wedding dress had long been soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat as big as beans dripped onto the ground like rain.
Just when Chen Bing'er was about to be unable to bear it, Xie Fei finally withdrew his hand. He threw her, who was still twitching, onto Liang Shao. Liang Shao hugged her, patted her face and called her in a low voice.
Chen Bing'er stared blankly ahead, the look of fear still on her face, until her cheeks turned red from being hit by Liang Shao, she let out a long breath and came back to her senses. When she looked up and saw Liang Shao, she hugged him tightly and cried bitterly: "Brother Liang... I'm scared..."
Liang Shao patted her back distressedly and coaxed her in a hoarse voice: "Don't be afraid, Bing'er, be good, Brother Liang is here, ah."
