C1 (1/2)
Within the Prince An's Palace, there was a wave of suona shaking the sky, and lanterns were being lit. It was a scene of celebration …
An Lingge was sitting in front of a copper mirror, wearing a fiery red dress as she pursed her lips. The two maidservants behind her helped her to dress up.
Today, she was the most beautiful bride in the capital.
In another half an hour, once the people from Prince Mu’s Palace arrived, she would leave the An clan and become someone's wife. From then on, she would become the Princess Mu and would no longer be the An clan's young miss.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from beyond the curtain. An Lingge had just guessed if it was her concubine who came over, and was about to stand up to welcome her.
”The two of you, go stand guard outside.”
So it was his sister An Lingyi!
An Lingge turned around. Just as she was about to ask his sister how she came to be here, she didn't expect to see An Lingyi wearing a phoenix coronet formal gown, with rosy lips and white teeth, like a bride's attire.
An Lingge could not help but be stunned. Why was Ling Yi also wearing a phoenix coronet and ceremonial gown? She had never heard of Little Sister Ling Yi getting married today?
”Big sister, you haven't eaten anything since you woke up this morning. Father told me to bring you a bowl of porridge mat, quickly drink it when it's hot!”
An Lingyi was still holding onto a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Seeing An Lingge turn around, she paused for a moment before walking forward and placing the porridge in front of him.
”Mm, thank you sister …” An Lingge's heart warmed. She did not think too much and indeed, she was a little hungry. She picked up the congee and started drinking.
”Little sister Ling Yi, you're …?”
”Elder sister is asking about my phoenix coronet dress?” An Lingyi laughed, walked around An Lingge, and then asked: ”How is it, not bad right?”
”Mm …” Very beautiful! But... Why didn't I hear that you were married today, sister? ”Father and aunt never told me either …” For some reason, after An Lingge drank two mouthfuls of the bird's nest porridge, she felt that her head was a little heavy.
”Since big sister thinks that she's beautiful too, then do you think that if I wear this and marry Junhan, he would also be breathtaking?” An Lingge maintained her smile, but An Lingge was stunned.
Junhan? Mu Junhan? Is there a second Mu Junhan in the capital?
”Elder sister doesn't need to think about it. Junhan is Young Master Mu. In another fifteen minutes, Junhan will probably be here. But, I believe elder sister won't be able to see him!”
An Lingyi's expression turned cold, but at this time, An Lingge's head became even heavier, not only that, her stomach started to hurt, and it felt as if something was blocking her throat, making him unable to breathe.
”You … You poisoned me? ” An Lingge looked at the bird's nest porridge in her bowl and was suddenly enlightened. She looked at An Lingyi in disbelief! She really didn't understand why the other party would do this to her.
She did her best to choke down her throat as she tried to spit out the soup. However, it was to no avail. In the end, all she could spit out was a mouthful of shocking blood.
”Elder sister, you don't have to go through so much trouble. This is the Gut Cutting poison from the Southern Wilderness. It can seal one's throat with blood, and it can take a person's life in less than half an hour. There is no cure for this house.”
An Lingge's body could no longer control her body. The pain in her stomach was unbearable, and she fell off the chair, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
”Is... ”What?”
She didn't understand why her younger sister, who was usually very close to her, would poison her at such a time.
”Why? Hehe, An Lingyi sneered, and continued to speak: ”You are the direct descendent of the Prince An's Palace, if you don't die, how can I marry Junhan in your place?”
