Chapter 3: Concubine Zhan is dying?
In front of the hall, surrounded by guests, Shangguan Ruoning, dressed in a fiery red wedding dress, stood there quietly, waiting for the King of War to come out and worship her.
Under the hijab, Shangguan Ruoning's fair face was now full of smiles, and there was a bit of contentment in that smile.
However, when the noise from outside the mansion came in, the smile on Shangguan Ruoning's face disappeared in an instant. She couldn't help but tighten her hand on the handkerchief, and a ruthless look flashed in her eyes.
Su Liyue!
Why isn’t she dead yet?
…
At this time, in the study room of Liyuan, the main courtyard of Prince Zhan's Mansion.
A man wearing a black python robe and a pure black mask, with only his eyes, chin and mouth exposed, stood upright in front of the window, looking very imposing.
This person is none other than War King Ye Cangming.
As everyone knows, War King Ye Cangming has been wearing a mask since he was disfigured at the age of six. It has been seventeen years now.
However, at this time, Ye Cangming not only did not show any sign of a 'relapse of old illness', but he also did not have the slightest bit of joy that a groom should have.
On the contrary, at this moment, Ye Cangming's whole body exuded a biting cold aura, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.
At this moment, he was holding a long-dried blood book in his hand, with the names of some medicinal materials clearly written on it.
And without this prescription, the "relapse of the old disease" three days ago might come true, and it is even very likely that he would die directly.
Can--
Three days!
Three whole days have passed, but he has not found any news about her. It seems as if she has never come back at all, or she has come back, but disappeared like she did five years ago.
Thinking of the past five years, Ye Cangming's eyes turned red, and there was a mixture of love and hate in his eyes.
"Damn woman!" Ye Cangming gritted his teeth, his voice full of patience, like a trapped animal.
In anger, Ye Cangming's aura became colder and colder, and his hands tightened slightly. If he had just a little more strength, the bloody book in his hand could be turned into powder.
But in the end, Ye Cangming relaxed his strength.
Without this blood letter, the only evidence that she had come back and still existed in this world would be gone.
When he thought of this, Ye Canangming's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, filled with anger and hatred.
"Damn it!"
Ye Cangming punched the side table, and the table shattered instantly, leaving a mess on the ground.
It was at this moment that there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in!" Ye Cangming's voice was cold, without any warmth, and his movements of stuffing the blood book into his arms were quick and cautious.
The person who came in was Linchuan, one of Ye Cangming's personal guards.
As soon as Linchuan came in, he felt the oppressive atmosphere in the study, and his eyes even touched the mess on the floor. He suddenly felt his scalp numb and stressed.
After swallowing and calming down his emotions, Linchuan looked at his master, who was dressed in black as usual, slightly dazed, and couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone in the world thought that Miss Shangguan was the master's sweetheart, and she finally got her wish today, but who could know the pain in the master's heart?
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Linchuan was motionless and looked pitiful, Ye Cangming's voice became colder. The cold air on his body was radiating out as if it were free, and his cold eyes revealed a murderous aura.
Linchuan shivered and immediately came to his senses. He straightened his body and loudly reported: "Master, the auspicious time is almost over..."
Before he finished speaking, Linchuan almost bit his tongue, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Just - that's not what he wanted to say - why is he so bald?
If the master cares about this auspicious time, why did he have to "relapse" in public three days ago?
It’s just to escape the marriage granted by the Queen Mother...
Sure enough, the next moment Linchuan felt the cold gaze falling on him, his back was numb and he was sweating profusely.
"roll--"
Ye Cangming uttered one word coldly.
Linchuan: "...I'm going to get out now——"
As he said that, he stepped back to go out.
It's just that his face is full of confusion.
When he was about to close the door to the study room, Linchuan couldn't help but said, "Master, I still have something to say..."
…
The lobby of Zhanwang Mansion.
After Su Liyue was invited in, the atmosphere in the hall was strange and quiet.
But at this moment, Su Liyue, who was attracting much attention and was dressed in sea blue, was not affected at all. She sat calmly in the seat that belonged to the princess in front of her. Her posture was calm and elegant, and somehow she also showed a neatness and chicness.
Such a Su Liyue really makes people can't help but look at her more.
After all, everyone knows that Princess Zhan grew up in the countryside. Although she has a stunning face, she is vulgar and cannot be elegant. Moreover, on her wedding night five years ago, she did two things that made people and gods angry.
But what we see now is really inconsistent with the rumors...
When everyone looked at Su Liyue with confusion, there was a sound at the door - the War King was here.
Su Liyue subconsciously raised her head and her eyes fell on the tall and majestic figure at the door.
I saw the King of War wearing a black python robe, a black mask, and black jade hair... In short, he was dressed in black. Although he had the aura of a king, he was incompatible with the red in the room.
And that dark, deep and cold gaze made Su Liyue's heart tighten even more.
When the two people's eyes met, Su Liyue felt a numbness in her scalp, and there was an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
However, before Su Liyue could remember where that sense of familiarity came from, she saw a look of disgust flashing through Ye Cangming's cold eyes.
Su Liyue: "..."
His mind immediately thought of the scene when the original owner met Ye Cangming for the first time on their wedding night five years ago.
At that time, Ye Cangming smelled of alcohol and was full of cold eyes. She looked at herself with disgust and hatred, and even ordered someone to whip her, and then she was sent to a nunnery.
The original owner has memory loss and she doesn't know what happened five years ago.
However, the man in front of me was not easy to mess with.
Realizing this, Su Liyue cheered up and looked at Ye Cang Ming with fearless eyes.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are very happy today. As the princess of the Zhan Palace, I came here specially to accept tea from the newlyweds." Su Liyue showed a slight smile on her face, "After all, if I don't drink this cup of tea, what will happen to this Shangguan?"
I’m afraid the girl’s position as concubine won’t be able to be taken down, right?”
When Su Liyue said this, she deliberately emphasized the word 'concubine' a little harder, and from the corner of her eye, she looked at Shangguan Ruoning, who was standing in front of the hall, still covered with a hijab, looking a little lonely and embarrassed.
Sure enough, Su Liyue saw Shangguan Ruoning's hand holding the red handkerchief tighten slightly, and the corners of her lips rose a little wider.
After all, when the Queen Mother conferred the marriage this time, she only said "get married", but did not mention the principal concubine and the side concubine.
And Shangguan Ruoning wanted to kill her, didn't he just take advantage of this loophole and want to be the 'right'?
After all, if she dies, her position as Shangguan Ruoning's concubine will be considered stable.
However, since she was reborn, the position of the concubine will never be that of Shangguan Ruoning.
As for the side concubine, to put it bluntly, she was just a concubine. She had to remind Shangguan Ruoning of her identity well, lest Shangguan Ruoning forget her identity.
As soon as Su Liyue said these slightly provocative words, the whole place fell into a deadly silence. Everyone held their breath, and a pindrop could be heard.
I just think that Princess Zhan is too brave, right? How dare she challenge the King of War in public?
