The pain in her knees and legs nearly made her collapse.

Qin Chengqian quickly supported her and whispered, "There are so many people watching, don't lose your composure, hold on a little longer!"

Jiang Xiru had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere.

At this moment, Jiang Ningwan's gaze fell on Jiang Xiru, "We rushed back to attend the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xiru, but we didn't expect to be a step too late."

"We're really sorry that such a good ceremony was interrupted by us."

Qin Taishi, standing by, was grinning from ear to ear. "You and the King of Chu have returned safely, which is a great joy. Today is a good day, a double blessing! What's wrong with that?"

The emperor also smiled and said, "Yes, double happiness!"

"Quick! Please take a seat!"

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi sat aside and the ceremony continued.

But the queen's expression turned a little ugly.

"The ceremony is over, you two should get up."

This damn King Chu and Jiang Ningwan, they didn’t come earlier or later, but just came at this time, causing Cheng Qian to kneel for such a long time.

Qin Chengqian stood up immediately. Although his knees hurt, he pretended to be fine. As a prince, if he couldn't even endure this little hardship, he would be laughed at and used to be useless.

However, Jiang Xiru next to him couldn't get up for a long time.

"Xiru, get up quickly." The queen reminded again.

Jiang Xiru gritted her teeth. Doesn’t she want to get up?

She can't get up!

She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

Her legs are out of control!

The feeling of fear was as if he had suddenly returned to the time when Jiang Ningwan broke his leg.

Qin Chengqian quickly supported Jiang Xiru and whispered, "It's over. Get up quickly and sit down to rest now."

He helped Jiang Xiru up with all his strength.

Almost all of Jiang Xiru's power is in Qin Chengqian's hands.

But when she stood up, she could only rely on the strength of one leg and couldn't stop shaking.

It was too obvious and everyone around saw it.

"Does the Crown Princess have any hidden illness? Why is she shaking all the time?" Grand Tutor Qin frowned in confusion.

Jiang Ningwan quickly explained, "The ceremony must have lasted too long, and she can't hold on any longer. How about asking the imperial physician to take a look?"

Her eyes swept over Jiang Xiru's waist, where the sachet she made was still hanging.

The medicine must have worked, as the poisonous insect in Jiang Xiru's body is now dead.

Then she became a cripple again.

As long as Jiang Xiru wears the sachet on her body for a long time, no matter how many intermittent Gu she finds, it will be useless.

What's more, this poisonous insect is difficult to find.

The queen frowned in displeasure. She felt that she had become a laughing stock on her wedding day. If she couldn't even handle a wedding ceremony, how would she manage the affairs of the harem when she became queen in the future?

The ceremony of enthroning the queen and offering sacrifices to heaven are much more complicated than this.

"I think you've been kneeling for too long. Xiru is weak, so you need to take good care of yourself from now on. Please sit down first."

As the Queen spoke, she gestured to Qin Chengqian to help Jiang Xiru sit down first.

Originally, no one paid any attention to it, but who knew that Jiang Xiru would stand there and not move.

Qin Chengqian looked at her in confusion and took her hand and walked to the side.

She lowered her voice, feeling very embarrassed, and said, "Your Highness, I can't leave."

"Why? Can't you even hold on for this short distance?" Qin Chengqian pulled her and asked her to continue walking.

Jiang Xiru took a step forward with all her strength.

The next moment, she fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.

Qin Chengqian's face turned pale.

Jiang Xi was lying on the ground like a fallen hair crown, with her hair disheveled and her veil torn off, looking extremely miserable.

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.

It was as if everyone was staring at her and laughing at her.

"This..." The emperor frowned, "The Crown Princess is too weak. Cheng Qian, take her to rest."

"Yes!"

Qin Chengqian looked embarrassed and quickly carried Jiang Xiru on his back and fled from here.

Returned to the bedroom.

Qin Chengqian put Jiang Xiru on the bed angrily. "Don't you know what day it is today? All the civil and military officials are here. Do you really want to embarrass me?"

Jiang Xiru fought back tears, "Your Highness, I told you I can't leave."

"You know my legs..."

Qin Chengqian felt even more headache when he thought about this. This poisonous insect was becoming less and less useful. If it continued like this, wouldn't Jiang Xiru become a cripple again?

The Crown Princess is a cripple.

If this gets out, he will be laughed at by the whole world!

"I still have to go to the banquet. Today is my wedding day, and I can't be absent."

"Also, can you tell me the King of Chu's secret now? The King of Chu has returned to Kyoto!"

Jiang Xiru clutched her sleeves nervously, gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness is very angry right now. How about we talk about it in detail when you come back after dinner?"

"It won't take a few hours."

Now that she has become the Crown Princess, she must hold on to this position.

Now that the King of Chu is back, her bargaining chips are even more useful.

But this requires careful discussion with Qin Chengqian.

The timing is not right right now.

After hearing this, Qin Chengqian became even more annoyed and turned away.

Seeing him rushing out angrily, Jiang Xiru gritted her teeth and decided to let the prince see her role!

In Taiming Hall, the dinner has already begun, with singing and dancing.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi finished their meal quietly.

After the banquet, the two left the palace first.

But on the way out of the palace, he met Yan Yue who was rushing over.

When he met Yan Yue, Yan Yue greeted him politely.

"General Yan, are you here to attend the Crown Prince's wedding? It's a pity you're late, the banquet is already over."

Yan Yue smiled and said, "No, I was ordered to return to the capital."

"I have something important to report to the Emperor, so I won't bother you any more!"

After saying this, Yan Yue hurried to the imperial study.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi looked at each other and understood each other.

Yan Yue should have gone to report to the prince about his private hoarding of gold mines. They originally thought that Yan Yue would arrive in Kyoto before them, but unexpectedly, he was one step later than them.

The prince's wedding has taken place, and Jiang Xiru has become the crown princess. It is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The two left the palace.

Ling Chaowen and others were already waiting outside the palace gate.

"You two actually hid your return from us! You didn't even inform us in advance!"

Jiang Ningwan smiled, "Just in case! Wouldn't it be more of a surprise if he came back unexpectedly?"

"Hurry, hurry, the banquet is ready!" Ling Chaowen called them to get on the carriage.

The two of them had no time to return to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, so they were taken by Ling Chaowen to the Duke of Ling's Mansion.

Jiang Ningwan was startled as she entered the yard.

Everyone is here.

Except Ling Chaowen and Ling Jinlan.

Jiang Zhouye, Pei Xunzhi, Qin Huaizhao and Shen Lanyi are all here.

After sitting down, Ling Chaowen poured the wine and said, "The Third Prince said he would come later, so we won't wait for him!"

Pour the wine.

Everyone raised their glasses.

"Celebrating the safe return of King Chu and Ning Wan to Kyoto! Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future!"

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Ningwan looked at the table full of food and wine and couldn't help asking, "Was this meal ordered by the restaurant?"

Ling Chaowen smiled sheepishly, "You guys came back so suddenly. I only had time to get everyone together and didn't have time to cook, so I went to the restaurant and booked a table!"

"It's better than the palace dinner anyway!"

"Besides, today is the Crown Prince's wedding, so the food will definitely be cold and unpalatable."
