Chapter 193 That Short Moment of Touch (1/2)
Just like the hornet hive being poked on, the alarm in the area of the palace entrance rang, huge troops of red imperial guard rushed forward. Ye Wuchen’s both brows were tightly knitted together, his facial color was terribly cold, regardless of everything he dashed towards the deepest part of the imperial palace, all those who had blocked him ahead, before they approached they were already being killed by Tong Xin’s Heaven Punishment Blade. They must feel glad, that if Tong Xin was still being the Woman Punished by the Heavens before, their dead bodies might not be still intact when left behind.
Those imperial guards rushed forth like some tidal waves, but simply no one could stop him. They could only clamor behind him as they chased after, then immediately they lost track of him.
The Luan Feng Hall was already jam-packed with guests, Feng Lie was smiling ear to ear as he was seated in the head seat, his face without his usual imposing feat, but instead he was happy with a smiling expression. Very quickly, gongs and drums echoed outside of the palace hall, everyone stood up in succession, beaming with happiness they forged ahead.
Ye ShuiYao with her entire body wrapped in a red dress was being supported by the bridesmaid, striding stiff steps as she cross over a fire pan. Marriage was supposed to be the happiest moment in a woman’s life, but for Ye ShuiYao, it will be a sorrowful one. This is an unfamiliar country, in the wedding day not just her parents, even a single familiar person or someone who knew her wasn’t even around, and no one ever sought her opinion as well. She was just like puppet, moving rigidly. But since she had chosen this, she must not regret it, she would rather destroy herself, than to destroy the Ye family, moreover she wouldn’t want to destroy…… Ye Wuchen.
The heaven had given her a painful choice, for the sake of Ye family, for the sake of Ye Wuchen, she used her own future as the price, as she had chosen to do this.
Feng Lie was laughing heartily, today, he had made an exception to be the host of the wedding, and he impatiently made Feng Ling to marry Ye ShuiYao who was the first time being here in the Gale Nation, with her heart and mind still not in the right mood, this was obviously not without a reason.
Crossed over the fire pan, shot a red arrow, Feng Ling and Ye ShuiYao were each being supported by their best man and bridesmaid as they headed inside the center of Luan Feng Hall, beside their ears, were the exclaiming and laughing sounds of the men and women. Feng Ling’s face was wearing a smile, using his meaningful glances to respond to them one by one, today with his adornment and expression, looked uniquely handsome, his temperament was even more elegant, causing people to exclaim in admiration. And the happiness inside his heart was unprecedentedly rich and powerful, he walked ahead high-spirited, his peripheral vision was watching attentively at Ye ShuiYao who was standing beside him. For the first time, he was very much thankful for his own title of Gale Nation Crown Prince, if he wasn’t the crown prince, facing such woman that will be impossible to be reached by ordinary men, perhaps he will just be looking at her from afar all his life…… perhaps he didn’t even have the opportunity to look at her figure from behind.
Lending an arm to support Ye ShuiYao, she walked ahead like a machine, when the bridesmaid halted her steps, grasped firmly on her, she stopped her footsteps. The entire surrounding was in an uproar, she didn’t try to listen to what they were talking about, she stood there for a moment, a dignified man seemed to have said something, she wasn’t able to hear it clearly, the world in her surrounding, was making her muddleheaded, she was inharmonious with them.
Feng Lie used his imposing voice to speak his opening remarks for the wedding, all the eyes were focused on Feng Ling and Ye ShuiYao inside the hall, majority of them at Ye ShuiYao. Based on Gale Nation’s tradition, before doing the ritual kneeling to heaven and earth, the groom had to first raise up the bridal veil in the bride’s head. Among these people, absolute majority of them only heard about the splendid name of Ye ShuiYao, but still haven’t seen her in person, all of them were curious as to how beautiful this woman of Ye family looked like that caused the crown prince to be infatuated and head over heels in love with her.
Feng Ling with his face full of smile, was holding a steelyard beam wrapped in red cloth that was handed over by the best man, he carefully went over to raise up the veil from Ye ShuiYao’s head. During this time, a burst of riot happened outside the palace hall.
Ye Wuchen grabbed a random palace maid and asked, he was able to know where Ye ShuiYao was at this moment, with gritted teeth he dashed ahead using his fastest speed. Due to his and Tong Xin’s quick speed, the speed of the news that a “murderer has intruded” was slower than them, Feng Lie and Feng Ling were basically still unaware of it, this time Feng Lie fiercely knitted his brows, his face was covered densely with dark clouds, as he yelled out: “What happened!”
Before anyone could step ahead and announce it, the two crimson lanterns hanging outside the palace hall simultaneously dropped on the ground, the candle flame inside them quickly burned up the two lanterns. Afterwards, the incredibly fast white figure rushed in from outside the palace hall, due to its speed was too fast, the people thought that it was just a white shadow flashed past before their eyes, he had already brushed through them, with his arm grabbing on to Ye ShuiYao’s slender waist, he quickly took her as they retreated back.
In this short duration of time, large groups of imperial guards rushed inside the Luan Feng Hall, the doorway was completely packed, Ye Wuchen took Ye ShuiYao as they stayed in a corner, a hand pulled off the red veil from her head.
Four eyes looking at each other, looking at Ye ShuiYao who was really really close to him, Ye Wuchen smiled delightfully, that was a happiness and love that came from within the heart, and the affection that was gentle and warm. Ye ShuiYao was similarly staring at him, just like from an ice-cold hell, she suddenly floated high up in the clouds, all of it seemed so unrealistic like a dream.
After a short moment, her tears fell down like rain.
For her, in this world, nothing else was more touching than this very moment.
Ye ShuiYao leaned her body tightly beside him, forgot where she was right now, facing what sort of people. The only voice in her heart right now is him, because of her, he had came to the Gale Nation regardless of everything…… as compared to herself who had tried to escape from this feeling, she was utterly insignificant…...
This was not a dream, because he was right beside her now, tightly hugging her, this sense of touch was realistic, the smell was so familiar.
He came, the scenario that had appeared in her dream last night, now happened before her eyes like a dream.
