Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

into the night.

Qin Chengqian came to the Duke of Jiang's Mansion.

I sat in the pavilion and waited for a long time before Jiang Xiru appeared.

It was Duke Jiang who called her over.

Jiang Xiru stepped forward and sat down. "Your Highness, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Did you receive the message I sent you during the day? Why didn't you come to the appointment?"

If it weren't for Duke Jiang, he might not have seen Jiang Xiru today.

"I... am not feeling well." Jiang Xiru's attitude became a little colder.

The queen's words kept echoing in her mind. The princess was cold to others, which meant she was heartless. Shouldn't she also be colder?

"Is the insect causing trouble again?" Qin Chengqian looked at her legs worriedly.

This leg has been supported by the insect, which is always a problem.

"No." Jiang Xiru said in a cold tone.

"Are you unhappy today? What happened?" Qin Chengqian was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness is worrying too much."

Looking at Jiang Xiru's cold attitude, Qin Chengqian felt a little irritated for no reason.

Seeing that Jiang Xiru could even endure the pain of the poisonous insect entering his body, he thought that Jiang Xiru was a man who could accomplish great things and would not be bothered by trivial matters.

Now she's acting like a spoiled brat.

But he still suppressed his displeasure and opened the food box. "My mother specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare this for you. You left before you had time to eat today, so my mother asked me to bring it to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru glanced at him calmly and said, "I have no appetite."

Qin Chengqian's movements froze for a moment.

Withdrew his hand.

"Then eat it whenever you want."

Qin Chengqian poured himself a glass of wine, feeling annoyed. He then spoke slowly, "By the way, what exactly was that secret you told me you knew about the King of Chu's beheading?"

"The King of Chu is dead, and this secret is no longer important. Can you tell me?"

Jiang Xiru's breath suddenly stopped and she clenched her fingers tightly.

This is what worries her the most.

The King of Chu is dead, can her bargaining chips still be used?

What if Qin Chengqian changes his mind and decides not to marry her?

"The King of Chu is dead, but the Chu Palace is still there, and Jiang Ningwan is still there. Your Highness, don't you want to get rid of Jiang Ningwan?"

Qin Chengqian was slightly startled, "Of course I do!"

"So what secret do you hold?"

Jiang Xiru said in a cold tone: "Didn't we agree that I would tell His Highness after the wedding?"

Before the wedding, everything was not settled and she felt uneasy.

Especially after hearing the conversation between the Queen and the Crown Prince today, they felt that the candidate they were more satisfied with was Princess Dayan.

What if Qin Chengqian gets to know this secret and changes his mind about marrying her?

After being rejected again, Qin Chengqian became more and more depressed.

What happened to Jiang Xiru today? He looked like he was dying.

Wasn't it Jiang Xiru herself who negotiated the deal with him to marry him? Why was she so displeased now?

After finishing the wine in the glass, Qin Chengqian put the glass down heavily.

"Since you are not feeling well, then go to bed early. I will go back first."

After saying this, he stood up and left without waiting for Jiang Xiru to reply.

He walked with his hands behind his back and hurried steps.

"Your Highness..." Jiang Xiru was startled, but before she could finish her words, Qin Chengqian had already walked out of the pavilion.

Never looked back.

It turned out that he came for the secret. Qin Chengqian didn't want to marry her at all. He just wanted to deceive her and then regret it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiru clenched his fist and slammed it on the table in anger.

……

The second day of April.

Prince married.

The huge wedding procession circled the city, with flower petals all over the sky and silver coins scattered from time to time. People along the way scrambled to grab them, and the city was extremely lively.

The prince and Jiang Xiru were sitting in the wedding sedan, holding hands and looking very affectionate.

After the grand and lively city tour, the team slowly returned to the palace.

At this moment, Jiang Xiru's legs were numb from sitting.

The complicated wedding dress and the heavy phoenix crown required her to be dignified in every move. She could not move at all and could only endure the discomfort.

But after entering the palace, the etiquette became even more complicated, and I had to stand for several hours without being able to rest.

The ceremony lasted from day to night.

When it gets dark, the two of them have to go into the palace to pay homage to the emperor and the empress, and the ceremony is considered complete.

Jiang Xiru thought that if she could hold on a little longer it would be almost over.

But when she took a step forward, she found that her legs were stiff and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Qin Chengqian was supported in time, and it was dark so not many people saw it.

Qin Chengqian turned his head to look at her, then led her into the hall.

The two knelt down in front of the emperor and the queen and began to listen to their instructions.

The pain in her legs became increasingly noticeable. Jiang Xiru could no longer hear what the people around her were saying and just knelt stiffly.

Fortunately, the veil can cover her pale face at the moment.

The queen finally finished speaking. Jiang Xiru gritted her teeth and prepared to stand up.

But at this moment, a eunuch came running in with a message: "Your Majesty! The King of Chu and his Consort Chu request an audience!"

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall exclaimed in surprise.

"What? King Chu?"

Even the emperor's expression suddenly changed. "King of Chu? Are you sure?"

Everyone was in disbelief. Wasn't the King of Chu dead? There was no news of his resurrection.

The eunuch pointed excitedly outside the palace, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived outside the palace!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face changed and his fingers trembled slightly.

"Quick pass!"

However, the people outside the palace were already stunned at this moment. They saw with their own eyes that the King of Chu and the Queen of Chu were alive and well!

The next moment, the King of Chu and the Queen of Chu walked into the hall hand in hand.

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

He looked at the two figures in disbelief.

"Sixteen! You actually came back!" The emperor stood up excitedly.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi calmly knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly! Let your brother see that it's really you!" The emperor walked forward excitedly, held Qin Shuangchi's shoulders, looked him up and down, and was extremely happy.

His eyes suddenly turned red with excitement, "I thought you were dead!"

"If you could come back earlier, maybe Mother wouldn't..."

Speaking of this, the emperor could not hide the sadness in his eyes.

Qin Shuangchi lowered his eyes and said, "It's all my fault. I'm in danger and can't pass the news back to Daning."

"I am an unfilial servant. I was unable to see my mother off on her final journey. I will stay at the imperial mausoleum for a month to confess my mistakes and repent."

Hearing this, the emperor patted his shoulder heavily and said, "You have such filial piety, your mother will not blame you."

After saying this, the emperor looked at Jiang Ningwan in confusion again, "I really didn't expect that you actually found the King of Chu."

I thought she was going to die in the North.

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Thanks to the Queen Mother's blessing, I was able to successfully find the King of Chu and rescue him back to Daning!"

The emperor couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Who captured Sixteen?"

Qin Shuangchi shook his head. "I have too many enemies, and I don't know who they are, but I have already asked someone to track them down, and perhaps there will be results."

The emperor's expression grew serious, and he clenched his fist and said angrily, "If anyone finds out, he will be severely punished! He will not be let off!"

Jiang Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be in a trance.

How could this be?

The King of Chu is not dead!
