Clouds and Moon Shadow

Mu Yun Chu kowtowed, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, A Yue is my wife, and I will not let her suffer any injustice..."

Mu Yun Chu didn't say anything grand or impassioned, but she truly moved Gu Qing Yue who was standing next to her.

From her past life to this one, what virtue or ability did she possess to encounter such a man!

He didn't make any grand promises, but he had a sincere heart, and that was enough.

The crowd gathered at the door erupted in uproar when they saw the two of them get up!

Why is His Highness Prince Li so kind to Gu Qingyue?

They even knelt down before the old Duke and his men for her sake!

Before long, the matter spread like wildfire from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to the streets, to teahouses and taverns throughout the capital, and even into the imperial palace.

The old emperor, who was recuperating on his sickbed, did not say anything when he heard the secret report from the Divine Dragon Guard.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of his lips.

It's good that he values ​​that woman! That makes him easier to control, isn't it?

I've heard that Gu Qingyue has some medical skills and also knows a few self-defense techniques. No problem!

Seeing that the old emperor had given no further instructions, the Shenlong Guard spy lowered his head and silently withdrew from the imperial study.

Standing outside the door, I recalled that someone had come to report a quarter of an hour earlier that Prince Jing had made a move against Prince Li and Gu Qingyue, and the old emperor still hadn't said anything. I wonder what he was thinking.

No one knows what the old emperor is thinking, nor does he have time to know.

At this time, the streets around the imperial city of Beijing were packed with people, filled with laughter, exclamations, and the sounds of string and wind instruments.

The long wedding procession, like a winding red dragon, slowly moved forward.

Gu Qingyue sat in the bridal sedan chair carried by sixteen men, feeling utterly bored.

"Jiang Wan, where are we now?"

"Master, we've arrived at Xihua Gate, almost at the Prince's Mansion," Jiang Wan said, covering her mouth and chuckling to herself. Her master had asked this question at least five times already.

Gu Qingyue was genuinely bored and wanted to sleep.

A journey around the imperial city? That's too long!

Suddenly, the line slowed down.

A moment later, the sound of approaching hooves could be heard. The curtain of the bridal sedan chair was lifted a crack, and Mu Yun Chu's voice came through, "A Yue, I'll take you away first."

Gu Qingyue jolted awake!

What?! Take her with you first?!

The next instant, her hand was grabbed, and her body spun around. Before Gu Qingyue could react, she found herself sitting on horseback, her waist tightly embraced by Mu Yun Chu behind her.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyue asked, unable to see what was happening outside.

"There are people blocking our way, let's go first," Mu Yun Chu said casually.

After saying that, he gave Zhang Qingxuan and the others a look, and then spurred his horse to lead Gu Qingyue and Mu Dong into a side road.

Completely ignoring the sudden gasps from the street, everyone saw that the bride and groom had actually ridden off on horseback!

So curious!

"Look, what happened?"

"I don't know! It seems that the Prince of Li took the Queen away!"

"why?"

"I don't know!"

"Did the princess suddenly want to ride a horse?"

······

The sudden change sparked much discussion.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingyue, sitting in front of Mu Yun Chu, was even more bewildered, "Someone is trying to ambush us?"

"Hmm," Mu Yun Chu replied after a moment, "Mu Nan just reported that there are ambushes on the two streets ahead, and they've already started fighting with our people. Let's take another route back to the manor."

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched. Should she take another route back?

She really wants to go see it!

I wonder whose people they are?

Thinking about how inconvenient I am like this, I'll just forget about it.

The two men galloped away on their horses, like a streak of red light, sweeping across the long street!

Like two red clouds, they drifted by in the blink of an eye, before you could even see them clearly.

Now, even more people followed to watch the spectacle!

Who was that man who suddenly rode over like a god? And he was even wearing a wedding robe?

Is that the bride sitting in front? She's wearing a veil.

For a time, people along the road they walked were talking about it, and some even ran over to watch the spectacle.

Unexpectedly, the journey home was still far from peaceful.

No fewer than thirty men in black suddenly rushed out of an alley two streets away from the Prince Li's residence.

Mu Yun Chu's eyes were cold and expressionless as she spurred her horse forward, seemingly about to collide with a group of people.

The men in black each had their faces covered with black cloths, and their long swords were drawn.

Behind her, Jiang Wan suddenly whistled.

Instantly, another group of men in black rushed out from the small courtyard next door.

Leading the group was Wen Qinglan.

It was he who brought the young men from Moon Shadow Pavilion to the capital this time.

He was in the second group to arrive.

There's one last batch on the way, and there are quite a few of them.

As Wen Qinglan led the boys to disperse the men in black and force them back into the alley, the sounds of fighting rose everywhere. Mu Yun Chu sped across the intersection with Gu Qing Yue!

There is no danger!

Amidst the curious and gossipy gazes of the crowd, the two returned to the Prince Li's residence.

As soon as Mu Yun Chu jumped off the horse, he picked up Gu Qing Yue and carried her all the way back to the bridal chamber in the main courtyard.

They completely ignored the saddles, braziers, and other items that had been prepared at the entrance.

Only the astute steward immediately ordered the firecrackers to be lit.

Crackle! Pop! It's so lively!

People immediately gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Where is the bridal sedan chair?

Where's the suona?

Where is the bride?

Where is the wedding procession?

Meanwhile, the Li Prince's residence was in an uproar!

"Wasn't His Highness going to fetch the bride? It looks like he's kidnapped her!"

"However, His Highness seems unhappy!"

"What happened? Isn't the person in your arms Miss Gu the Third?"

The servants inevitably gossiped, but the two ignored them.

Even after Gu Qingyue sat in the bridal chamber with her veil on, she was still wondering which audacious guy had dared to be so suicidal!

Trying to ruin their wedding?

Fortunately, she had Yue Ling and Cui Shuming set up several points along the wedding route in advance, hiding people at each point, just in case something happened!

Since she knew that the Su Shou Alliance was going to harm her, how could she not make any preparations at all?

I wonder whose people these two groups are blocking the road today?

"Master, it seems there's some chaos outside!"

Gu Qingyue nodded, "Of course it's chaotic. The second half of the wedding procession is gone, how could it not be chaotic?"

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue felt a surge of hatred. Her one and only wedding ceremony in her life had been ruined by those who blocked her way!

"Master, would you like to eat something first?"

Jiang Wan asked from beside her.

Mu Yun Chu just galloped back with her, and Jiang Wan snatched a horse and followed behind. Zhu Qing and the servants who came with her dowry are probably still on the street!

"No need, go and find out what happened next, and whose people those were."

Jiang Wan shook her head. "His Highness Prince Li said that I should stay by your side and not leave your side for even a moment."

Mu Yun Chu just brought Gu Qing Yue back, comforted her for a few moments, and then left, saying she was going to take care of something and would be right back.

And so, Gu Qingyue is still waiting, her head covered by a veil.

"Your Highness, Prince Li has returned," Jiang Wan's eyes lit up when she heard footsteps outside.
