Chapter 903 Cause and Effect
Many people tossed and turned that night.
As soon as the sun rose, the sound of music could be heard heading towards the Lu family.
King Dong Ling sat high on his horse, and his attendants, who were full of joy, carried box after box and walked straight through the capital.
"What is this for? Someone's wedding?"
"Oh, that's Dong Ling's... His Majesty, right?"
"What is this for? It looks like a wedding with all the music and dance." The people watching on both sides were curious. The palace servants serving King Dong Ling were smiling and throwing handfuls of candy.
The people were so happy that they rushed forward to grab the wedding candy.
"Our Majesty is willing to cede ten cities, marry the adopted daughter of the Northern Zhaorong family, treat her as a queen, and grant her the title of the Dual Queen."
"Your Majesty is sincere and has come to ask for marriage in person."
"Your Majesty is also willing to sign an edict never to cross the border of Northern Zhao, and only wish to have a lasting friendship with Northern Zhao."
When everyone heard this, surprise appeared in their eyes.
Dong Ling and Bei Zhao have been fighting for generations, and no commoner likes war. When they heard what Dong Ling's eunuch said, they even laughed and said, "Your Majesty Dong Ling has come to ask for marriage in person, and he is sincere. I believe he will definitely win the beauty."
"From now on, Dong Ling and Bei Zhao will be married, which is a blessing for the adopted daughter of the Rong family."
Some people even said sourly: "Tsk tsk, how can she be so lucky?"
"It's not enough to be adopted by Madam Xu as her adopted daughter, but the King of Dongling also asked for my hand in marriage. I will have endless blessings in the future."
"I heard that Madam Xu mistook her for her own daughter. Of course, I don't know whether this is true or not."
Several women murmured quietly.
Behind him, the woman wearing a veil had a resentful look in her eyes.
They knocked and banged all the way to the Lu family's door.
When the three brothers Lu Yanshu heard the news, they naturally couldn't help but had a fierce fight with King Dong Ling's guards.
Everything at the scene was overturned and countless treasures were trampled.
Xuan Jichuan didn't even step into the door.
"Let me kill him!" Lu Zhengyue could not hide his anger.
"No, all countries have formed an alliance, Xuan Jichuan cannot die in our hands!" Lu Yuanxiao almost bit his teeth off. If Emperor Dongling died in Beizhao, Beizhao would not be able to win the support of the people. How could they unite and fight against it?
Xuan Jichuan deliberately caused trouble at this critical moment.
Xuan Jichuan didn't seem to care that his so-called betrothal gift was destroyed. Instead, he looked at the red blood scattered all over the ground, raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned and left with a smile.
But the fact that King Dongling offered ten cities as a betrothal gift in order to marry the adopted daughter of the Rong family was known to the world.
It was not until the afternoon that we heard that King Dongling and his entourage had left the city.
When leaving the city, he was stopped by a woman wearing a veiled hat.
The woman's body swayed, and she knelt on the ground weakly, stopping the Dongling soldiers: "Your Majesty Dongling, I have something important to report."
King Dong Ling looked down at her condescendingly, leaned back in his chair casually, raised his finger slightly, and the guards let her go forward.
"Your Majesty, you have been deceived by the Rong family."
"That bastard from the Rong family was a liar from the beginning to the end!"
"What I said is true. I have evidence."
"That woman was General Lu's daughter who found her from outside to entertain Old Madam Xu. It is said that she was taught the habits of Princess Chaoyang overnight so that she could imitate the princess and replace her. It is not worth your Majesty's trouble for this."
Xuan Jichuan tapped his fingers: "Oh, how did you know?"
The woman raised her head, revealing half of her face, which looked very much like Lu Chaochao when she was a child.
However, the other half was smashed to pieces by a slap from a servant.
Xuan Jichuan's face turned slightly cold.
"I have sent people to inquire about that woman. She is a young lady." The woman still had a hint of fear in her eyes.
"That woman appeared out of nowhere, as if she appeared out of thin air. No one knows where she came from. She was kidnapped..."
“And that village was ultimately punished by God.”
"That bitch is very evil. Your Majesty, please think twice." She showed half of her smooth face just right, showing her charm.
Xuan Jichuan suddenly laughed.
He laughed so happily that his voice could be heard from far away.
The woman thought she was favored, and a hint of joy appeared on her brows. But before he could even stand up, he heard the emperor, who was looking down at him, say, "I heard that beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Scrape out her bones for me, so I can see if she is really that beautiful."
After saying this, he leaned back in his chair, raised his hand slightly, and the army continued to return.
The woman's eyes widened in horror: "Your Majesty, you can't do this to me, Your Majesty, I...mmmm..." Her mouth was covered and she was quickly dragged away.
"Who do you think you are, to be like her?" he said coldly.
Bai Hehua, sitting in the sedan chair, had cold hands and feet, and she covered her cheeks with her hands.
Drops of tears flowed through the fingers.
Spring is the season for sowing.
But the sun hasn’t been seen for a long time, the sky looks gloomy, and people’s hearts can’t help but become heavy.
Shanshan has been away from home for half a month and still hasn't been found.
"How long have I been home?" Lu Chaochao asked the man behind him.
The man whispered, "It's been seventy-nine days since you came home."
Lu Chaochao nodded, then went to the small kitchen and personally prepared breakfast for everyone in the Xu family, which surprised and distressed everyone.
"Brother, how is Dong Ling?" Lu Chaochao put down the bowl and looked at Lu Yanshu.
Lu Yanshu paused slightly. Dong Ling put pressure on Bei Zhao. If the Rong family refused to marry their daughter, he would mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to fight Bei Zhao to the death.
Now voices have begun to emerge among the people, who are asking Your Majesty to grant them marriages.
There have been several wars on the border, and Dongling is gradually touching Beizhao's bottom line.
"Don't worry, no one can take you away from me. Sister..." Lu Yanshu stood up and hugged his sister gently without even touching her skin.
He hasn't hugged his sister for a long time since she grew up.
After Lu Yanshu left, Lu Chaochao suddenly called out.
"Brother."
Lu Yanshu stood at the door and turned around to look back.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Lu Chaochao narrowed her eyes, smiled at him and shook her head gently: "Nothing, big brother, go early and come back early, take good care of yourself."
Lu Yanshu smiled and left home briskly.
At night, Lu Chaochao brought a basin of water and personally wrung out a towel for Xu Shiyun to wipe her face.
"Why do you have to do this kind of thing... I can do it myself."
Lu Chaochao shook her head: "My daughter has never served her mother, so let me do my filial duty." She squinted her eyes and smiled faintly, revealing her dimples, looking a little naive, just like when she was a child.
The candles were crackling and burning. Xu Shiyun sat quietly at the head of the bed, looking at her daughter with a smile.
She watched her daughter wash her face and hands, and watched her bring hot water to wash her feet.
"Mom, do you know? In fact, I have seen you countless times in the past eight years." She lay on her mother's knees and said softly.
"I was once the wind that touched my mother's hair."
“It is also a butterfly resting on the mother’s shoulder.”
"It is also a fallen leaf that falls into the palm of my mother's hand..."
"Everything my mother saw was me."
"You can embrace me if you open your arms..."
"My daughter never left."
