A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 74: The Prince's Wedding

The Xuan Yao and his party incident came to an end with the suicide of Prince Xuan Yao. The Magistrate of Mucheng County, Situ Ting, secretly dealt with the rest of the party on the orders of Prince Zong and never announced Hui Feng's true identity to the public.

In the military camp outside the city, Yan Zong dealt with military affairs and handed the army over to Mr. Fan for temporary management. Several generals headed by Da Xixian and Wei Zhun congratulated Prince Zong on his wedding.

"Your Highness, Mr. Sanxiu and Mr. Xiuming are here to ask for a meeting." At this time, Yu Cheng came in to report to Yan Zong.

"Let them in." Yan Zong's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this. He said to Yu Cheng in a deep voice and then looked at Wei Zhun.

Receiving the eye signal from Prince Zong, Wei Zhun led several other generals out of the tent. When Master Sanxiu and his apprentice came in, only Yan Zong and Mr. Fan were in the tent.

"Mr. Sanxiu..."

"Didn't Mr. Sanxiu just say on New Year's Eve that we would never see each other again in the underworld?"

Mr. Fan greeted with a smile, hoping to use today's meeting to ease the relationship between the two sides. However, he was interrupted by the prince's cold voice just as he opened his mouth. The sarcasm instantly made the atmosphere in the tent tense again.

Mr. Fan's mouth twitched slightly and he sighed secretly.

Sanxiu suppressed his anger and knelt in front of Yan Zong with his disciple Xiuming:

"I came here today to beg the prince to return the body of my disciple Hui Feng to Sanxiu Medicine Store."

Mr. Sanxiu, who had always been aloof, put aside his self-esteem and knelt down to beg for mercy for his apprentice, which was beyond the expectations of Yan Zong and Mr. Fan.

"Please be magnanimous, Your Majesty, and forgive Master for the sake of Concubine Leng..." Xiu Ming saw Yan Zong remained silent, so he also raised his head and bowed, saying sincerely, but he was interrupted before he could finish his words:

"Mr. Xiuming, there is no need to bring up my mother just for a rebel who wants to kill me." Yan Zong's face was clearly displeased.

"But he is dead. Can't all the grudges in his life disappear with his death?" Sanxiu also raised his head and looked at Yan Zong, tears welling up in his eyes.

Yan Zong looked at the white-haired old man whose eyes were no longer filled with resentment but only with sadness. He was very different from Mr. Sanxiu who used to be so arrogant in front of him. After all, he was his mother's mentor and an elder who had protected him for many years. His heart was not made of stone.

"Help Mr. Sanxiu up." There was silence in the tent for a moment, and Yan Zong said lightly to Mr. Fan beside him.

"I won't get up unless the prince agrees." But Mr. Sanxiu pushed away Mr. Fan who was trying to help him up and said angrily.

"Mr. Sanxiu, are you here to ask for help or to threaten someone?" Yan Zong narrowed his eyes, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart rose up again.

"Of course I have to ask for help first." Sanxiu didn't look at Yan Zong again, still speaking angrily.

"I have to hurry on my way, so I'll leave this matter to you, sir." Yan Zong was so angry that he had nothing to say. After giving the order, he strode out of the tent.

"Oh this..." Sanxiu was a little at a loss when she saw Yan Zong suddenly leave.

"Please stand up quickly!" Mr. Fan smiled helplessly and helped the two people who were kneeling on the ground.

Prince Zong handed the matter over to Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan had always been on good terms with Sanxiu, so his implication was obvious. Sanxiu had no point in kneeling any longer, so he slowly stood up with the help of Xiuming and Mr. Fan.

Sanxiu and Xiuming took Huifeng's body back to Sanxiu Pharmacy and buried it in the plum garden on the back mountain. They announced to the public that Huifeng died of illness due to overwork. People inside and outside the city, especially those who had been treated by Huifeng, were heartbroken when they heard the news. Some even went to Sanxiu Pharmacy to pay their respects, but were rejected one by one by the pharmacy.

Seven days later, the capital of Xiyue Kingdom, Shangjing, was decorated with lights and colors, and a grand and solemn wedding was held in time for the New Year. The palace was filled with joy and the sound of drums and music.

Yan Zong looked even more noble and dignified in his black and purple wedding suit. He rode a tall black horse from the Prince Zong's Mansion to the Embassy to welcome Princess Nanrong Liangling of the Gu Yun Kingdom. Following closely behind him were Yu Cheng, Arnold and a dozen other personal guards, and behind them was a huge wedding procession of nearly a thousand people.

There were huge crowds of people along the way, and the onlookers were shoulder to shoulder. The officers and soldiers in the capital were maintaining order on both sides. Although Yan Zong, who was wearing a wedding dress, still had a cold face, everyone from the daughters of marquisates to the poor girls were moved, and they were all secretly jealous of the future Princess Zong.

The wedding was held in the palace in the evening. All officials gathered in the temple. The emperor Yan, who was sitting on a high seat, had his lips tightly closed, but his eagle-like eyes rarely showed a soft look. On either side of him sat the queen and the crown prince Yan Qiao, both of whom were also happy. Behind the queen sat several favored concubines, and next to the crown prince Yan Qiao was the crown princess Rong, and behind him was the second prince Yan Han. The emperor Yan was very satisfied with the festive harmony in the temple, but when he glanced at his second son, who was drinking alone in a bohemian posture, his face fell again. It was okay for him to be unruly on weekdays, but today was such an important day that he didn't know how to restrain himself.

"Newcomers enter the palace!"

With the loud shout of the emcee outside and the sound of drums and music, everyone in the temple quieted down and looked outside. Yan Zong and Nan Rong Liangling, who was also wearing a black and purple wedding dress, slowly walked up to the platform and walked towards the temple.

When he saw his son in wedding clothes from afar, Emperor Yan's eyes became moist unconsciously. In his joy, he seemed to see his beloved Ying'er walking towards him.

"Kneel down and worship the Emperor!"

As the host at the door shouted again, Emperor Yan finally woke up from his hallucination. His face returned to its cold and majestic state as he accepted the greetings from his son and daughter-in-law.

The long wedding finally ended as night fell. Yan Zong brought Nan Rong Liang Ling back to the Zongwang Mansion. After a whole day of dealing with things, he was already exhausted physically and mentally. In comparison, going to the battlefield was much easier. It was obviously his wedding, but he was not happy at all. The time for the bridal chamber had arrived. The master of ceremonies was about to urge him, but was frightened by the Zongwang's terrifying eyes and had to quietly retreat.

Yan Zong locked himself in the study room under the pretext of sobering up, hoping to find some peace and quiet. However, less than half an incense stick of silence passed before the voice of his nurse E Li rang out from outside the room:

"Your Highness, you must not neglect the princess on the wedding night."

"understood."

Seeing that there was still no movement despite the response from the inner room, Eli did not say anything else. She just sighed and walked away.

"What happened?" When Yan Zong walked out of the study and arrived at the outer courtyard, he saw Yu Cheng and Arnold with unusual expressions.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, the princess you married might not be mentally ill..." Arnold hesitated for a moment before saying angrily.

"Arnold, stop talking nonsense." Arnold's words scared Yu Cheng. This kid is really bold.

After hearing this, Yan Zong ignored the two of them and continued to walk towards the bridal chamber. He was curious about what Nan Rong Liang Ling had done to make Arnold so angry.

At this time, Nan Rong Liangling in the bridal chamber had already secretly changed out of her wedding dress and put on a sexy dance costume from the Western Regions. Seeing the prince appear, two maids beside her beat drums and music, and Nan Rong Liangling actually danced the Hu Xuan dance to the rhythm.
