Chapter 126: A Warding-off Wedding The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“What is it?” Old Consort Jing hurriedly followed the source of the sound and saw a maidservant wearing a green waistcoat. She was called Lv’er, 15 or 16 years old, a second grade maidservant of the main courtyard.
She straightened up and then saluted, “My Lady, I heard someone has ever said that a Warding-off Wedding could cure any disease.”
“A Warding-off Wedding?!” Old Consort Jing’s eyes were shining: Right! A Warding-off Wedding could ward off all evil things and also bring someone who was dying back to life with a healthy body! She had ever seen someone who was dying of a serious old disease had recovered using this method!
If Yichen could hold a Warding-off Wedding, maybe her husband would soon recover…
Old Consort Jing turned to Ye Yichen then, while he was looking at Imperial Doctor Sun, “Doctor Sun, do you think it can save my father’s life?”
“Urgh…” Imperial Doctor Sun frowned, “It doesn’t belong to any medical skills. So I am not sure whether it really works. But I do hear someone has recovered using it…” Of course someone also died right after the wedding. So leave it to god to decide.
Ye Yichen nodded, lowered his eyes, saying nothing for quite a while.
Old Consort Jing became impatient, “Yichen, your father is still young. As long as there is a slice of hope, we should have a try, right?”
“I know you are the prince and deserve a grand and solemn wedding. It’d be hasty to make arranges in only a few days. And it won’t go with your status. But as your mother, I will spare all my effort to throw you a perfect wedding, which you won’t regret for…”
With his mother nagging by his ears, Ye Yichen knitted his eyebrows. He then looked up to Old Consort Jing, “But who do you think I should hold a Warding-off Wedding with?”
It should be the first wife of a Warding-off Wedding. But he hadn’t decided who his first wife would be…
She thought he didn’t want a Warding-off Wedding, but it turned out he was thinking whom to marry.
This made Old Consort Jing feel much relieved. She then smiled, “Of course it’s Yuyan!”
She already felt sorry for her son, of course she must select the one her son liked most.
On hearing her words, instead of feeling happy, he frowned instead, “Yuyan is a prince from Mo Bei. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate…”
Consort Jing was stunned. Suddenly she recalled that a Warding-off Wedding would do no harm to the man, but was really harsh to the woman. If the diseased one could recover, then people would say “this woman is a blessing’ or something like that as compliments…But if the diseased died right after the Warding-off Wedding, people would take the woman as a hoodoo, who would live a shameful life for all her life!
Qing Yuyan was Yichen’s beloved, so Yichen didn’t want her to take the risk…
“I am willing!” suddenly a soft woman’s voice was heard. Ye Yichen followed the sound and saw that Qin Yuyuan was sitting on a bamboo cling chair carried by the guards, moving slowly towards them.
She was wearing a loose light cyan long dress, covering those white strips of cloth bandaged around her body, with a glaze hairpin tying up her thick and black hair. Her complexionless face made her even more delicate and pitiful!
“You are badly injured. The doctor specially tipped you not to move. You should stay in your room. What are you doing here?” Ye Yichen walked towards her with a gloomy face.
Qin Yuyan knew he blamed her because he worried about her, so she still wore an unnoticeable smile and said, “Old Prince Jing’s illness is so serious. How can I not come?”
She raised her head and took a look at Old Prince Jing, saying, “I heard your talk. I’m willing to hold the Warding-off Wedding with you, to do something for your father…”
Wearing a complicated expression, Ye Yichen asked her, “Have you made up your mind? If we fail…”
