Chapter 356 - Assassination Caused a Stir on the Weddings (1/2)

The guard team reacted and immediately pounced on the two masters on horses.

The guard of honor was immediately startled. The bridal sedan chair was pushed to the side. The watching pa.s.sers-by even scattered, fl.u.s.tered. They didn’t care about the rules that they could not get in the way of a bridal sedan chair anymore; now, they only cared about their own lives. Some who had acted slowly were already butchered by the sabers and swords of the men in black.

Screams rang shrilly into the bridal sedan chair. Mo Xuetong’s heart shrank and she subconsciously held the apple tighter. The bridal sedan chair shook violently. It seemed that the sedan carriers also started running. Mo Xuetong reached out to grab the padded board under the seat to keep herself steady.

Suddenly, the bridal sedan chair seemed to hit something. It t.i.tled greatly and then, with a “bang”, it was thrown on the ground. The sound of the shake made Mo Xuetong involuntarily gasp. She found it hard to breathe and felt dizzy. She felt like she was suffering suffocation and a thin layer of nervous sweat instantly covered her forehead.

The apple she was holding almost fell onto the ground.

She heard a drone by the ears. After a long while, she finally caught her breath. Recently, she should become weaker and weaker; was it because she didn’t sleep well last night?

Mo Ye’s lowered concerning voice rang by her ears. “Miss, are you alright?”

She gently waved the bell on her wrist. The bell let out a crisp and pleasant sound to indicate that she was fine. Since the bride got into the bridal sedan chair, she couldn’t talk. If she did, she wouldn’t live peacefully for the rest of her life. People in the Qin Kingdom all believed that, therefore, now, Mo Xuetong couldn’t talk.

Outside, it was in chaos. While having people to protect the bridal sedan chair, Feng Yue asked the others to butcher the men in black with him. After the initial chaos, King Chu and King Yan also calmed down at this time. They ordered their men to orderly besiege those men in black. The wedding music had already stopped; now, shouts and clanging sounds rang everywhere.

On the princes’ weddings, something like this happened, which was really a big deal. Who dared not to fight back!

If anything happened, all of them would be buried too! The watching common people had long run off the scene.

Some men in black were already butchered own; the rest were surrounded by the crowd. They judged the situation and exchanged glances. Then, they respectively took out a ball from their inner pockets. They tossed it onto the ground, and it exploded with a bang. White lime soared into the sky with smoke, blurring everyone’s eyes.

When the crowd twisted their heads to avoid it, the men in black had already run off in the middle of the chaos.

King Yan Feng Yulei brushed off the lime on his red dress. His refres.h.i.+ng and handsome face carried anger. Anyone wouldn’t feel happy at their wedding being ruined, plus, they tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the newly-wed.

A trace of fierceness flashed across King Chu Feng Yuxuan’s eyes. He said meaningfully. “They should want to capture us all here.”

Though his face was all smiles, there was not a trace of happiness inside Feng Yulei’s eyes. “I heard King Ning will soon arrive at the capital. I wonder if he arrives yet.” Bringing up King Ning at this moment could really be suggestive.

Feng Yuxuan coldly said with subtext so clear that anyone could understand, “He will tomorrow, if not today. If he’s faster, he should arrive today.”

The matrons of honor popped out of nowhere. They dusted the ash from their heads and faces and squeezed in to interrupt. “Your Highnesses, it’s not a time for talking now. It’s almost the auspicious time. Let’s first rearrange the sedan chairs.”

Because of the chaos at the time, bridal sedan chairs crashed into each other and toppled onto the ground. The sedan carriers scattered out of fear. Now, they couldn’t even recognize their own sedan chair.

Instead, the accompanying maidservants obediently stood in front of their own sedan chair and didn’t look too fl.u.s.tered.

It was already the auspicious time and they shouldn’t delay. Feng Yuxuan and Feng Yuran rearranged their bridal sedan chairs, while Feng Yue also rearranged his team and kept it in order. He waited for the two processions in the front to march first. King Xuan was the youngest among them; therefore, his bridal sedan chair should be the last one to leave.

The sedan carriers walked back to carry the sedan chairs again according to the positions the maidservant stood at. They respectively dusted the white lime on the bridal sedan chairs and then got the sedan chair horizontal. The brides in the sedan chairs couldn’t talk. Luckily, previously, they were more scared than hurt. The accompanying maidservants all brushed off the ash over their hair and then set off following the bridal sedan chairs.

Outside the sedan chair, Mo Ye lowered her voice and again asked in concern. “Miss, are you alright?”

Mo Xuetong’s wrist moved again and a crisp tinkle of the bell rang. Though not aloud, it was enough for Mo Ye outside to hear it clearly. She raised her head to nod at Feng Yue, who was just looking at her. Then, she quietly looked at the other two bridal sedan chairs.

The two sedan chairs were already moving outward in order.

The bridal sedan chair steadily moved on. While the guard of honor was in the front, the bridal sedan chair was in the middle, and the dowries were put at the end of the line. They rearranged the line and carried on.

Arriving at King Xuan’s Manor, the bridal sedan chair was put on the ground. The matron of honor got in to help Mo Xuetong off the sedan chair. The apple was already taken away, and the bridal veil completely blocked her vision. Until when the other end of the red silk cloth in her hand was taken away by someone else, she looked down and saw a wedding robe with red and gold embroidery. It was Feng Yuran. She felt inexplicably sad in her heart.

In her last life, though she hadn’t married Sima Lingyun with a wedding decoration that lasted five kilometers long, she still had beautiful wishes back then. She used to think that she had found her beloved and she would spend the rest of her life in peace. However, she didn’t expect she would end up like that.

By the ears was his gentle voice. “How are you feeling? Have you b.u.mped into anything?” His hand improperly reached over. From under the sleeve, he squeezed her hand and carefully felt her wrist.

The way he gently cared for her, like a warm stream, poured into her sad and bitter heart.

Yes, today was her wedding day with Feng Yuran, not Sima Lingyun. The past nightmare had already pa.s.sed. Now, after her rebirth, she gained another real love. The man really cared for her and was willing to protect her by the side and get rid of the people who wanted to hurt her.

She felt inexplicably touched. She slightly moved her fingers to briefly hold his hand too and then let it go.
