The suona horn plays, and the bridal sedan chair rises.

Amidst the resounding drums and gongs, the ceremonial procession gradually disappeared into the distance.

At this moment, Shen Fu should be in the main hall waiting to watch the ceremony.

But she was worried and followed at a distance.

Luo Luo saw this and felt sorry for her.

Since entering the palace yesterday, the young lady has been overseeing the wedding process, attending to every detail, and has hardly had a break.

She's pregnant now, how can she work so hard?

"Miss, you have made excellent arrangements. The Eighth Princess has already boarded the bridal sedan chair, so everything will be fine."

Shen Fu shook her head: "No, I can't rest easy until I see her complete her wedding with my own eyes."

"But your body..."

"I'm fine!"

If you're talking about hard work, she didn't actually do anything special; she just had to put in a little more effort!

This matter concerns Anning's lifelong happiness, and she cannot let her guard down!

According to the wedding customs, the bridal sedan chair procession should circle the imperial city once before finally arriving at the imperial palace to begin the wedding ceremony.

Sitting in the sedan chair behind, Shen Fu looked at the scenery along the way and listened to the joyful sounds, and suddenly felt a unique charm.

When they reached the vicinity of the Imperial Lake, an unexpected event occurred.

A palace horse trainer led two fiery red horses past.

One of the spirited horses, perhaps startled by the joyous music, suddenly raised its head and neighed, breaking free of its reins and charging straight towards the bridal procession.

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

In an instant, the once orderly queue was torn to pieces.

In his haste to avoid the maddened horse, the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair fell into the lake.

The two bridal sedan chairs were also forced to collide...

A hint of triumph flashed in Murong Xiao's eyes. Instead of intervening, he let things develop as they would.

This scene was also witnessed by Shen Fu, who was standing behind.

Luo Luo couldn't help but exclaim, "Something's wrong! Quickly call someone to help!"

Shen Fu said calmly, "Let's go!"

"ha?"

Luo Luo almost thought she had misheard.

They followed him all the way because they were worried that something might happen along the way.

Now that something has happened, they just left without a care. Isn't something wrong?

Luo Luo stood there stunned for a long time. By the time she came to her senses, Shen Fu's sedan chair had already gone far away.

She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed.

Soon, news of the accident involving the bridal sedan chair procession reached the imperial court.

Upon learning of this, Emperor Yong immediately pressed for an answer in a deep voice: "Were any people injured? How are the two princesses?"

"Only six eunuchs and palace maids fell into the water and have been rescued. The two princesses are safe and sound, and the bridal procession has rested briefly and is on its way."

"That's good!"

Emperor Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment ago, his right eyelid twitched twice, and a bad feeling inexplicably arose within him.

I never expected something like this to actually happen, but thankfully it turned out alright!

Not long after, a report rang out from outside the hall, piercing through the solemn court.

"Newcomer arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two couples walked hand in hand into the main hall.

Today, not only Emperor Yong, imperial concubines, princes and princesses, and all the civil and military officials, but also envoys from the Northern Dynasty are present.

It was incredibly solemn and grand!

The master of ceremonies immediately stepped forward and began to preside over the wedding ceremony.

"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Bowing to the Emperor twice!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"The ceremony is complete!"

As the resounding voice faded, Emperor Yong felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

This dramatic and tumultuous marriage alliance has finally come to an end.

After the grand weddings concluded successfully, the two newlywed couples expressed their gratitude and left the palace to return to their respective residences.

Emperor Yong has ordered the southern palace to be renovated and converted into a princess's residence for the emperor's peace and the prince consort to live in.

As the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty, Murong Xiao's main purpose in coming to the Yong Dynasty was to welcome his bride. He also needed to discuss diplomatic relations between the two countries and was temporarily staying at the post station in the north of the city.

Therefore, the bridal chamber was also set up in the post station.

After the two bridal sedan chair processions left the palace gates, one headed south and the other north.

They went their separate ways and drifted further and further apart.

Upon arriving at the post station in the north of the city, Murong Xiao dismounted.

Without waiting for the matchmaker's help, he scooped the bride out of the sedan chair and hurried towards the bridal chamber.

He kicked open the door, placed the woman in his arms on the bright red wedding bed, and couldn't wait to consummate their marriage.

Behind him, the matchmaker and maids followed closely in. Seeing this, they quickly advised, "Your Highness, the wedding ceremony has not yet been completed, and the nuptial wine has not been drunk. This is against the rules!"

"roll!"

A single, cold word carries a chilling and intimidating aura of malevolence.

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not say another word and could only retreat in fear.

A short while later, an intimate sound came from the bridal chamber.

The story is so passionate and intense that it makes listeners blush.

The servants outside the door, feeling embarrassed, couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Why is this eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty acting as if he's never seen a woman before? Why is he so impatient?"

"That's exactly what I mean. You've already married her, why rush things?"

"They're consummating their marriage so early; looks like today's going to be quite eventful!"

The sounds from the bridal chamber only ceased as dusk fell.

Looking at the woman who had collapsed from exhaustion, Murong Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery and disdain.

Even if they schemed and plotted, what good would it do? The most noble princess of the Yong Dynasty still fell into his hands.

There's no woman Murong Xiao can't have if he wants her!

Jun Anning is already in hand, and there's another one next...

It was Shen Fu!

That day, she almost became his woman.

Unexpectedly, the return of the Xuan King ruined his plans!

Even his plan to seize the Yong Dynasty's throne was ruined!

He has already discussed it with Jun Qiyuan, and they will eliminate this thorn in their side at any cost!

With the help of the fourth prince of the Yong Dynasty, we believe we will soon achieve our goal.

That night, Murong Xiao slept soundly and contentedly.

He even had a dream in which he personally killed the Xuan King and watched him kneel at his feet, begging for mercy!

When he awoke, a guard was outside to inform him.

"Your Highness, the Emperor of Yongchao summons you to the palace immediately!"

Murong Xiao's heart sank, and he subconsciously turned around to look.

The woman in the tent was still fast asleep, with tear stains still clinging to the corners of her eyes. Her exposed skin bore the marks of abuse, making her look disheveled and pitiful!

He clearly "tortured" her badly last night!

If he weren't so eager to enter the palace to watch the show, he would have been tempted to unleash his wolfish nature and do it again.

……

As soon as Murong Xiao entered the imperial study, he felt a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

Ignoring Emperor Yong's unpleasant expression, he walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Why has Your Majesty summoned me so urgently?"

Emperor Yong spoke in a deep voice: "It concerns yesterday's wedding."

"Oh? Wasn't the wedding successfully completed? I originally intended to bring my bride to express my gratitude, but the imperial decree arrived too hastily, and my bride hadn't even had time to dress up. So, I had to come myself!"
