Chapter 404: Bloody Plot

Su Xiang leaned his body completely against Zhuo Hua, put his arms around her waist, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, if you have any orders, I will never say no. I am willing to clear all obstacles for Your Majesty and make your path to rule smooth."

Zhuohua was very satisfied with Su Xiang's bold and obedient behavior. He couldn't help but stroke the hair on Su Xiang's forehead. "Your little mouth is as sweet as honey. Don't just talk and don't do anything. If you disappoint me in the future..."

Su Xiang rubbed her chest like a spoiled child: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best and will never let your Majesty down."

"Hahaha!!"

Zhuohua was amused by Su Xiang's appearance and laughed heartily. She said no more and directly took Su Xiang's hand and walked towards her throne.

She slowly sat down on the throne, pulled Su Xiang into her arms, and let him sit on her lap. "From today on, you are my person, and you are not allowed to think about leaving."

Su Xiang nodded obediently and said softly, "I will obey Your Majesty in this life." As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and gently kissed Zhuohua on the cheek.

Su Yang said he couldn't bear to watch it, turned his head away silently, and complained in his heart: "What is this play? Brother, this drama is too much."

Zhuohua seemed to be completely immersed in the intimacy with Su Xiang. "Since you have agreed to become my concubine, you must fulfill your duties. In the future, the affairs of the harem will be left to you to take care of. Don't let me down."

Su Xiang nodded quickly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Zhuohua held Su Xiang in her arms and gently stroked his back. She glanced at Su Yang who was sitting next to her and said, "Don't bother with it. Your brother has agreed. What do you have to object to?"

Su Yang swallowed the snack in his mouth and laughed dryly, "Yes, yes, Her Majesty is right, I will be wherever my brother is."

Zhuohua nodded with satisfaction and turned her gaze back to Su Xiang, "In that case, come with me to see the harem." After that, she stood up, took Su Xiang's hand, and led him out of the bedroom.

Su Yang also stood up immediately, and before leaving, he did not forget to grab a handful of snacks, and followed the two of them eagerly.

The corridors are magnificent on both sides. At the end of the corridor, a wooden door with exquisite patterns slowly opens, revealing a picturesque garden with rockery, flowing water, colorful flowers, a few cranes strolling leisurely, and the air is filled with elegant floral fragrance.

Su Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your Majesty, this place is truly a paradise on earth, making people linger and forget to leave."

Zhuo Hua raised his lips and patted Su Xiang's cheek. "This will be your home from now on. Everything will be open to you."

She looked towards the magnificent palace in the distance, a hint of pride in her eyes, "That is my study, and also where I handle state affairs. If you are interested, you can come and accompany me at any time."

The next day—

The palace was decorated with lights and there was an atmosphere of joy and jubilation.

Su Yang was wearing that cumbersome outfit, his face full of disgust. He didn't wrap himself up like this when he and Buyehou got married.

He moved closer to Su Xiang and complained in a low voice: "Brother, if it really doesn't work, let's run away. This dress is too uncomfortable, layer after layer, I can hardly breathe. What kind of broken rule is this? We have to dress like this."

Su Xiang tilted his head slightly and responded softly: "Brother, since we are here, we should make the best of it. Every illusion has its own specific script. Since the plot has developed to this point, let's continue. Don't forget, the spring fairy grass we are looking for may be in a corner of this palace."

Su Yang curled his lips, looking reluctant, but still endured the discomfort and followed Su Xiangqian.

At the banquet, all the civil and military officials had already taken their seats, all dressed in gorgeous court robes and looking respectful. Zhuohua sat high on the main seat, wearing a crown and a gorgeous dragon robe, exuding an innate majesty that made people intimidated.

As the ceremonial officer loudly announced the start of the ceremony to confer the title of consort, Su Xiang and Su Yang slowly walked forward under the gaze of everyone.

Su Yang walked carefully the whole time, but what he feared came true and he fell flat on his face without paying attention.

"Ouch!"

The maid beside him tried hard to hold back her laughter, bent down and helped him up, "Young master, be careful." Su Yang blushed and got up from the ground. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Zhuohua's eyes were always on Su Xiang. Seeing this, he just raised his hand and signaled the ceremonial officer to continue. The ceremonial officer cleared his throat and said loudly:

"The ceremony of conferring the title of consort begins!"

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, Su Xiang and Su Yang knelt at the two ends of the red carpet respectively and performed the ritual of three kowtows and nine bows facing the empress on the main seat.

Although Su Xiang and Su Yang were given the same position, Zhuo Hua clearly favored Su Xiang more. She personally handed the seal to Su Xiang.

When it was Su Yang's turn, Zhuohua just nodded slightly, and the female official beside him handed the seal to him.

After the ceremony, everyone took their seats and the banquet officially began. There was singing and dancing, and tables were filled with delicious food and wine.

Zhuohua talked to Su Xiang from time to time. Su Xiang responded cleverly and with appropriate words, which made Zhuohua nod frequently and smile constantly.

On Su Yang's side, it seemed a little deserted. But this guy had been shameless since he was a child. Zhuo Hua ignored him, and Su Yang was happy and comfortable, eating heartily.

Night fell quietly, and the laughter at the banquet gradually faded. Su Yang was surrounded by palace maids and walked for a long time before arriving at a side hall.

The palace maids skillfully prepared everything for him, from taking a bath with incense to changing into light pajamas, and every step was carried out meticulously.

After Su Yang had eaten and drunk his fill, he began to mutter again, "What the hell is going on? It's unbearable. Where's my brother?"

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the other side was completely different.

Zhuohua changed out of the majestic dragon robe he wore during the day and put on a gorgeous nightgown, leaning lazily on the couch.

When Su Xiang walked into the hall led by the palace maid, a bright light flashed in Zhuohua's eyes and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

The palace maids quietly retreated and closed the palace door.

Su Xiang was washed white and smelled fragrant all over. From hair to toes, every detail was carefully cleaned, making him look like a piece of art carved from beautiful jade.

Zhuohua didn't say anything, but just stretched out his finger and hooked it, motioning him to come closer.

Su Xiang was completely immersed in the script-killing game. He walked forward slowly, and each step landed on the soft carpet silently.

He stopped in front of Zhuohua, lowered his head, and behaved as obediently as an obedient little animal.

Zhuohua raised her slender hand, gently stroked his cheek, and said in a commanding tone:

"From now on, you are mine. Remember this at all times."

Su Xiang went to do physical work. Su Yang couldn't find his brother and cried anxiously, refusing to go to sleep no matter what.

An older palace maid brought a cup of hot tea and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, young master. You are so beautiful, and the Queen will take good care of you. I think it will be your turn to sleep with her tomorrow."

Su Yang took it and took a big sip, then waved his hand, "Hey, who said that? I was looking for my brother... Wait! What did you just say?"
