After the imperial physician diagnosed Tian Yu, he was relieved to find that she had only been given a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs and was otherwise unharmed. However, Tian Yu slept for a long time without waking up. Zhao Moyan couldn't wait any longer and took Tian Yu back to the palace. He then asked Li Xingyun to check on her, and the answer was the same. So Zhao Moyan stayed by her bedside and waited for Tian Yu to wake up.
Seeing that it was getting dark but Tian Yu was still fast asleep, Zhao Moyan became anxious and asked Li Xingyun to check on her again, but the result was the same, and he was told to wait patiently.
When Tian Yu woke up again in the middle of the night, she found herself in a different place. The familiar room in front of her confirmed that she was in Zhao Moyan's room. She moved her hands and feet and bumped into Zhao Moyan, who was lying on the bed in front of her. Zhao Moyan immediately reacted and looked at Tian Yu, saying, "You're awake!? Are you feeling unwell anywhere!?"
Looking at the haggard man by the bedside, Tian Yu propped herself up, touched his white hair, and shed tears. Zhao Moyan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and hugged Tian Yu, saying, "Don't cry! It's alright!"
Tian Yu cried for a while until her stomach started growling. Embarrassed, she pushed Zhao Moyan away and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"
Zhao Moyan froze. The address "Mr. Zhao" made him feel dazed. He looked at the woman in front of him and asked excitedly, "Tian Yu, you..."
Tian Yu simply nodded, and Zhao Moyan was overjoyed, but also troubled. He wanted to say something more, but Tian Yu had no energy left to reminisce with him. She then said, "I'm so hungry!"
Zhao Moyan didn't care about anything else. He poured water for Tian Yu and quickly ordered the servants to prepare food. He would talk about other things later.
When Tian Yu woke up again the next day, it was already noon. Zhao Moyan was not there, but Tangyuan and Maorong were guarding the bedside. Tian Yu hugged her and felt extremely emotional, as if she had been gone for a very long time.
"Mommy! What's wrong?" Tangyuan looked puzzled.
"It's nothing, Mother just hasn't seen Tangyuan in so long, she misses Tangyuan so much!"
"Tangyuan misses her mother very much."
"Woof! Woof!"
Tian Yu and Tang Yuan both smiled. Did Mao Rong miss them too?
When Zhao Moyan returned, it was almost noon. Seeing that Tian Yu was unharmed, he said, "Rong'er has committed suicide. The palace has also been searched but there are no clues."
"How could this be?!" Tian Yu exclaimed in surprise. She didn't know why Rong'er would treat her like this, but after regaining her memories, she was certain that the palace maid who forced the medicine into her body was Rong'er.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to lure out the person behind this,” Zhao Moyan said.
Half a month later, Zhao Moyan finally agreed to marry Tian Yu after being coaxed and pleaded with her. Tian Yu's requirement was that the wedding must be a grand affair, so grand that the entire Wu Kingdom and even neighboring countries would know that the Prince of Zhenbei was marrying the Tian Yu of yesteryear. All the vassal kings of the Wu Kingdom would also attend, and the emperor would personally preside over the ceremony. Although she was still a five-year-old child, the wedding was scheduled for a month later.
Time was a bit rushed, but Zhao Moyan had put a lot of thought into this wedding. From the wedding dress to the betrothal gifts, everything was of the best quality. The betrothal gifts alone amounted to dozens of boxes. In addition to Tian Yu's dowry, Tian Yu had thought she wouldn't have much of a dowry, since she hadn't earned much money in a long time. However, the dowry sent by brothels, boudoirs, and restaurants from all over the country left Tian Yu completely dumbfounded. It was no exaggeration to say that the dowry stretched for miles. She had thought there wouldn't be many people, since she was an orphan and only had a few servants by her side and the Li family. But she never expected that the wedding day would be so crowded with people. The wedding procession stretched from one end of the capital to the other.
Tian Yu meant to make a big fuss, but not to cause a sensation throughout the entire Wu Kingdom! Out of desperation, fearing that something unexpected might happen, Zhao Moyan temporarily mobilized troops into the city to maintain order.
Amidst cheers and joy, Tian Yu was escorted from the Li residence by her parents. Looking at her parents, though not her biological parents, they were very kind to her. Li Xingyun's eyes even reddened; this was the first time his sister was marrying off, but he said, "Don't ever come back! Be a good princess consort to the Prince of Zhenbei!"
“You brat! Tian Yu, don’t listen to her. Come back whenever you want. Your mother will welcome you back anytime,” Li Shi said, her eyes red.
"Don't be foolish! You need to protect yourself!" Li Yun said.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I will take good care of myself."
With Zhao Moyan's help, Tian Yu put on her veil and got into the bridal sedan chair. The wedding procession set off in a grand manner towards the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
The Prince of Zhenbei was also quite lively at this time, with the Emperor personally presiding, flanked by Prince Wu, the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, and Li Yong.
The Tang family, Fang Jue, and all the civil and military officials of the court were present, as were the Li family father and son.
The wedding procession arrived at the Prince's mansion with much fanfare. Zhao Moyan dismounted and carried Tian Yu directly into the hall, while the matchmaker shouted from behind, "No! No!"
Tian Yu whispered in Zhao Moyan's ear, "This is against the rules here, put me down!"
"The bride has to walk in herself!" the matchmaker continued, advising from behind.
"I will carry my queen into the palace; she doesn't need to walk on her own!" Zhao Moyan declared loudly. After speaking, he went straight into the hall and put Tian Yu down. The two held hands and prepared to perform the wedding ceremony. Because of Zhao Moyan's action, the marriage customs in Wu Kingdom changed. The greatest respect for the woman was to carry her to the door, rather than letting her walk quickly across the fire pit to the door.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth"
"Bowing to the parents twice"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"...
In the bridal chamber, Tian Yu sat alone on the bed, feeling as if she had been sitting there for a long time. She wondered why Zhao Moyan hadn't come yet, and she was also very hungry. Should she lift the veil? But then she thought better of it. It was her first wedding, so she should leave the veil to Zhao Moyan to lift!
Fortunately, Zhao Moyan returned drunk not long after. Reeking of alcohol, he staggered to Tian Yu's side, reached out and lifted Tian Yu's veil. Tian Yu looked up at him and said, "You've had too much to drink!"
"I'm not drunk!" Zhao Moyan walked to the table, poured two glasses of wine, and sat down next to Tian Yu, saying, "I agree to marry you, but we agreed that you'll listen to me on everything else."
"Mmm!" Tian Yu took the wine glass he handed her.
The two looked at each other for a while, then crossed their arms and drank their wine...
"Time was short, and there wasn't enough time to prepare much. I'm sorry to have to put up with this!" Zhao Moyan said.
"I'm not upset! I'll do anything to marry you," Tian Yu said, blushing as he looked at her.
Zhao Moyan embraced Tian Yu and whispered, "After tonight, we'll go back to Old Zhao Village and live our own lives."
"You're a prince now, you can't just leave like that!"
"Then I won't be a prince anymore, how about I farm with you!"
"Oh no! Everyone will blame me for this, saying that I abducted their prince. Prince Wu and the Emperor will also blame me."
"Let them think what they want, as long as you're willing, I'm willing too!"
Tian Yu looked up at Zhao Moyan and smiled...
Outside, the atmosphere was even more festive, with everyone drinking freely. The little emperor was sitting in the seat of honor, having a great time playing with Tangyuan, while Maorong was happily gnawing on a big bone.
Meanwhile, a group of shadowy figures wielding swords and knives were slowly approaching from all around the Prince's mansion, and danger was imminent.
