On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Murong Yan took in Lin Zhen's reaction and smiled even more broadly: "Chu Xiling said that this Ice Heart Snow Lotus is actually the Arctic Poppy. As long as we can find this thing as a medicine, Wan'er's illness will be cured."

Lin Zhen frowned, his eyes full of entanglement and confusion.

"Arctic poppies... I've heard of them, but how can we get to the Arctic these days? The ships we build can barely sail out to sea. If we try to go any further, we'll be dead. Besides, Arctic poppies grow in Norway, and the Bering Strait might not be passable right now. If we want to get there, we'd have to go around the Cape of Good Hope and sail across the Atlantic. How can we possibly find them?"

Ling'er, Ling'er, you made a mistake this time.

It is safer to travel by land than by sea.

Murong Yan heard him talking incomprehensibly and asked, "What's the Bering Strait? What's the Cape of Good Hope? What are these things?"

"The place name is far away from us."

"On the other side of the sky?"

"No, on the other side of life."

"The other side of life? What does that mean?"

Lin Zhen sat upright on a pearwood carved chair, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with deep worry.

After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"These places I'm talking about are all hopeless places. If you're not careful, you'll die. So to reach the place where the Arctic poppies grow, you have to be determined to die."

Murong Yan sat upright on the phoenix chair beside her. The black and gold colors of her phoenix robe shimmered in the light and shadow, making her look even more graceful and elegant.

Hearing what Lin Zhen said, she opened her red lips slightly, her voice firm and powerful.

"I see... Well, so what? As long as you and I, my husband, work together and give our all, there's nothing in this world we can't accomplish. A mere Arctic poppy is no big deal!"

Lin Zhen pondered, "Ling'er suddenly said she could draw sea charts. I guess she has a way to build a new type of ironclad ship. If this thing can really be built, let alone a bunch of Arctic poppies, even using it to conquer the world would be no problem."

Back then, the great powers used iron ships and cannons to blast open our country's door. Now Lin Zhen also plans to use iron ships and cannons to conquer the world.

That’s right, Lin Zhen’s goal is the sea of ​​stars, not just China.

Murong Yanyu placed her hands lightly on the armrest, exerted a little force, and stood up.

In an instant, the gorgeous black phoenix robe attracted all eyes.

The phoenix robe swayed gently with her movements, and the fifty-meter-long train was like a river flowing with the night and the stars, winding on the ground.

The golden phoenix, flowers and cloud patterns embroidered on the train sparkled with golden and silver light under the candlelight and moonlight, like a dream.

And when she turned lightly, her wide phoenix sleeves were like two black wings, flying freely in the air.

On the phoenix sleeves, the phoenix feathers embroidered with gold thread are clearly visible, and they dance with the wind from the sleeves, as if they want to break free and soar into the sky; at the cuffs, a circle of tiny pearls and rubies complement each other, emitting a dazzling brilliance in the interweaving of light and shadow, like the most dazzling star cluster in the night sky.

Murong Yan moved lightly, each step carrying innate dignity and elegance, and came straight to Lin Zhen.

She turned around gently and sat lightly on Lin Zhen's legs, her movements natural and smooth.

Lin Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He put his left hand around her waist. The soft touch under his palm through the clothes made his heart move slightly. His right hand gently stroked her thigh, and his fingers subconsciously wandered on the delicate fabric, feeling Murong Yan's warmth.

Murong Yan raised her head slightly, gazing at Lin Zhen with tenderness and a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "My dear husband, I have summoned the Minister of Rites today to arrange your wedding. Everything will proceed as usual."

Lin Zhen was stunned when he heard this, his face full of confusion, and blurted out: "Ah? But Wan'er has already decided not to get married."

Murong Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw him like this.

The laughter was as clear as a bell, echoing in the bedroom.

She put her arms around Lin Zhen's neck, gently playing with his hair with her fingers, and then, while he wasn't paying attention, she kissed him on the mouth.

How could Lin Zhen agree? He quickly held her head down and kissed her fiercely.

Their lips touched, their red tongues entwined. After a minute, Murong Yan finally pushed Lin Zhen away and said coquettishly, "Silly boy, the wedding I mentioned naturally means I'm going to marry you. What's wrong? Don't you want to? Or am I not worthy of you, the prince of the palace?"

"Uh...that's not the case..." Lin Zhen touched his nose.

There is definitely no problem in marrying Yan'er, but she is the emperor. If this happens, big news will come out in the Kingdom of Qian again, just like when King Dong imposed tariffs, and all countries are laughing at him.

But if you think about it carefully, Qian Kingdom is now the most powerful country, so naturally it has things that are different from traditional countries.

But doing so would be a bit unfair to Wan'er.

The other person had just fallen ill, and he married another woman, making Lin Zhen look like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.

Murong Yan seemed to see his worry and said, "Don't worry, my husband. This time, we will follow the standards of an emperor's wedding. Whether it's a man or a woman, husband or wife, they are all the masters of Daqian. Our alliance will surely silence many villains and further stabilize the court. Besides, you always know what others are thinking."

As she spoke, Murong Yan leaned her chest against Lin Zhen's face and drew circles on his neck with her other hand.

To be honest, a woman like Murong Yan, even if she is not the emperor, is a top-notch woman that all men are vying for. Lin Zhen feels that he has the ability and blessing to do so.

Furthermore, even if he wanted to marry Shangguan Wan'er, Murong Yan would still have the final say in this huge harem.

Murong Yan was already immersed in her wedding fantasy.

The phoenix eyes sparkled with longing and expectation, as if she had already seen the lively, prosperous and festive scene of the wedding day.

"This palace has been deserted for decades. This time it must be bustling with activity. Gather all the sisters and we will celebrate together and share in the joy of this great age."

When Lin Zhen heard this, his heart trembled violently, and he was both surprised and happy.

He stared at Murong Yan, his eyes filled with emotion and affection: "Yan'er, aren't you wronged?"

Murong Yan gently patted his cheek and said with a smile, "You and I are already husband and wife. It's too late to complain now, isn't it? Ever since we've known each other and stayed together, you've shared my worries and solved my problems. How could I not know your feelings? Now let's take this opportunity to let the whole world know our love, and let this dull palace be revitalized."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, his eyes full of determination: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I hope Wan'er can attend, but I don't know if she... Alas." At this point, Lin Zhen sighed again.

Murong Yan nodded slightly and gently patted the back of Lin Zhen's hand.

"Don't worry, I will persuade Wan'er. I hope she can attend as your wife or concubine and not be so stubborn."

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Although I don't know much about her, I do know a little after such a long time. She's too stubborn and traditional. I had hoped to give her some guidance after we got married, but who knew something like this would happen."

Lin Zhen said dejectedly, "Well, whatever. Everyone has their own destiny. I'll go back and help Ling'er draw up a sea chart and a route map so we can bring back the Arctic poppy as soon as possible."

"Ok!"
