An extremely hasty marriage was thus arranged.

There were no red silks all over the sky, no lively celebrations, and even the only people who attended were familiar people like Song Zhi.

The huge Cang Mansion looked deserted, and everyone had a sad look on their face.

Mrs. Cang originally suggested finding a rooster to replace Cang Jing in the wedding ceremony, but Liu Ruoyu refused.

She held the bright red silk by herself, bowed to heaven and earth by herself, and returned to the bridal chamber by herself.

She sat on the bedside and spoke to Cang Qiong through the veil, "Cang Qiong, you can't ask me to lift your veil myself, right? There's also the wedding wine. I want to drink it with you. Can you wake up?"

As she spoke, a tear meandered down her face, sad and graceful.

But the imagined situation of someone lifting her veil did not happen. The whole room was so quiet that she could only hear her own choked breathing.

There was no other way, she could only lift the veil herself.

Cang Jing's face was still pale, and he closed his eyes peacefully, as if he was just asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she sighed, picked up the wedding wine and drank it herself, then leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Cang Jing, wake up quickly. If you don't wake up, I will never live alone."

But there was no response in the quiet room.

In the outer courtyard, Madam Cang looked towards the bridal chamber with a heavy heart after sending the guests away.

"If Jing'er can't make it this time, we'll close the Cang family's business and travel around the world."

"it is good."

Master Cang has always given unconditional support to Madam Cang and has no objection at the moment.

There was a flicker of reluctance in his eyes. "There are still a few days left. Maybe a miracle will happen."

Mrs. Cang no longer held any hope. She shook her head tiredly and returned to her yard.

Song Zhi and Mu Nanqi stood outside the Cang Mansion and did not go far.

Today she did not bring many attendants with her when she left the palace. She only brought Xiaotao with her. They walked in front, and Xiaotao followed closely behind.

Neither of them spoke, and the moonlight stretched their shadows very long.

"A letter from Wei?"

Mu Nanqi suddenly asked.

"Ah."

Song Zhi snorted, "They said I was always playing tricks on them, and that we were the ugly ones who were trying to sow discord. It's so funny. I never said Ruoyu wasn't in Huang Country. It's always them who are eager to challenge Jiang Li."

"So they can do whatever they want."

"They said that either they would be given twenty cities, or Liu Ruoyu would be handed over to them for disposal, and they would give them eight cities."

Mu Nanqi shook his head and said, "Only the Wei Kingdom dares to be so stubborn."

Now that the Huang Kingdom has annexed the Li Kingdom, its strength has greatly increased and it has become a powerful superpower.

Other neighboring countries avoided them, but Wei State still dared to speak out in the limelight. It was truly courageous.

Song Zhi didn't take them to heart. The only thing that gave her a headache now was Cang Jian.

If something really happened to Cang Jian, she didn't know how much of a blow Ruoyu would suffer.

Moreover, Cang Qiong has been in contact with them for such a long time that their friendship is no longer comparable to that of ordinary friends.

It would be great if my mother-in-law were here. She possesses a magical object from outer space and should be able to save Cang Jian.

Song Zhi couldn't help but think that her mother-in-law seemed to have done a good job in her task during this period, and she could pass on a few words to her from time to time.

Sometimes she would send some small things that didn't consume many points. The wine that was given to Doctor Jiang when he went to save Cuihua last time was a gift from her mother-in-law. Now there are still two jars left in Yuebai.

However, she did not intend to take out the good stuff easily, but prepared to use it on the cutting edge in the future.

There is no other way. There are many talented people under my command, and I always have to have something to seduce them.

She had tried to call her mother-in-law frantically in her mind with her consciousness, but she never got a response.

"Ugh."

She let out a long sigh.

Mu Nanqi said: "Life and death are determined by fate, don't think too much."

Song Zhi suddenly became dissatisfied with this statement. "Isn't Cang Jian your brother? How can you say such things so easily? Aren't you worried about his situation?"

"Of course I'm worried about him, but I'm also worried about you."

Mu Nanqi wanted to reach out and touch her head, but she slapped him away. "What could have happened to me? I'm not the one lying in bed waiting to die!"

Song Zhi felt inexplicably irritated, as if a spark could ignite her. "You treat your good brother like this, will you be so indifferent even if I die in the future?"

Mu Nanqi's eyebrows softened, "I won't."

"These three words are too pale and powerless."

Song Zhi's eyes were gloomy. "Cang Jian is not an outsider. He is Ruoyu's husband and your good brother. You are really cold-blooded to do this."

She turned around and got on the carriage back to the palace.

Xiao Tao was very anxious when she heard the two quarreling. She hurriedly followed them and said apologetically as she passed by Mu Nanqi, "Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart. There have been a lot of things going on recently, and it's inevitable that the Empress will be a little impetuous."

She saw clearly that the emperor had been silently working hard to help Young Master Cang find hope of life, and he had never given up.

He only remained calm in front of his master.

Although Xiaotao is not smart, she can guess that Mu Nanqi did this to stabilize everyone's emotions.

Thinking of this, she ran faster. She was the most capable female official beside the Empress and had the obligation to help the Emperor resolve the misunderstanding.

She took a step forward, jumped onto the carriage and sat with the driver.

"Your Excellency, the Empress, you have misunderstood the Imperial Consort. Actually, he..."

"Xiao Tao, if you are my person, don't speak for him."

"okay."

Although she has an obligation to help the Emperor resolve the misunderstanding, her primary responsibility is to make the Empress happy.

It seems that the Empress is in a bad mood recently. She has seen her lose her temper several times.

It wasn't like this before.

It turned out that it was because she, the female official, was not competent enough. If she could share the empress's worries, would the empress be so busy that her temper would be bad?

Xiaotao learned from her mistakes and decided to improve herself more comprehensively in the future.

Song Zhi was also not feeling well sitting in the carriage. She actually didn't know what was wrong with her, but her temper rushed to her head at that moment, and she couldn't help but want to vent.

It is true that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It has only been a short time since she ascended the throne, and she has been forced into this state.

Song Zhi took a deep breath. Was her reaction just now a little too intense?

Everyone is an independent individual and has their own way of expressing sadness and worry. How can she ask Mu Nanqi to be the same as her?

"Turn around!"

She exclaimed with a sigh of relief.

It was the middle of the night and so cold. She must have been possessed by a devil to leave Aqi there alone.

The carriage quickly turned around and headed back, but when it arrived at the place it had just been, Mu Nanqi was nowhere to be seen.

Song Zhi jumped off the carriage and looked ahead in confusion, "Where are the people?"
