Chapter 138: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 138: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Only in this way can he keep what Wen Yang owns in Lingguo.
As for the throne, he could only make plans for it later.
After all, the emperor's suspicion of him is still not lifted, and the guards at the door of his palace have not been withdrawn. The eunuch Rengui beside the emperor still comes to bring him that dish every day and supervises him to finish eating it before leaving.
After eating it for many days, he could now vaguely feel a slight discomfort in his body...
Fortunately, he heard that Song Yizi had never spoken in the Ministry of Justice, so his father had released Song Yizi from the Ministry of Justice.
Although the military power had not been restored, the Song family only had its official military power taken back. The soldiers the Song family secretly raised had not yet been discovered...
A smile appeared on Wen Fengye's lips. As long as Song Yizhi was released, he could have him secretly lead the troops and find an opportunity to kill Wen Yang on the way to the marriage...
When Wen Yang dies, everything he owns will naturally fall into the hands of him, the prince who is most qualified to inherit the throne.
By then, as long as he could dispel his father's suspicions, he didn't believe that his father would bypass him and choose the stupid third prince as the heir!
Thinking of this, Wen Fengye seemed to have succeeded, and the smile on his face unconsciously deepened.
Wen Yang sat in the seat of honor. Just by looking up, he could see everyone at the banquet clearly.
So she casually glanced in Wen Fengye's direction and took in the strange smile on his face.
Wen Yang sneered in disdain in his heart. Wen Fengye's expression at this moment was very clear, and his intentions were even written on his face.
And once, the original owner was actually tricked by such a person.
Wen Yang attributed the reason to the original owner's love-brainedness, which led to him neglecting too many things, giving Wen Fengye the opportunity to succeed in his plan.
This time she wanted to see what other tricks Wen Fengye could come up with.
......
The farewell banquet lasted until late at night and finally ended in a peaceful and blessing atmosphere among everyone.
Since they had to set off in two days, Wen Yang simply stayed overnight in Fengxi Palace behind the mausoleum.
These two days passed quickly.
Early in the morning of the day of departure, Wen Yang began to dress up surrounded by palace maids.
Because she had to pay farewell to the Empress Mausoleum before leaving, Wen Yang had to wear her wedding dress on the day of departure.
So Wen Yang, still half asleep, was pulled behind a screen by the palace maids and put on her wedding dress.
After the palace maids helped Wen Yang change into her wedding dress, Qiuju pushed Wen Yang to sit in front of the dressing table. At this moment, the dressing table was filled with a dazzling array of exquisite jewelry, each piece of which was extremely gorgeous.
Qiuju gently combed Wen Yang's long hair that was like a waterfall, and skillfully tied it into a noble bun. Then she put an exquisite phoenix crown on Wen Yang and pinned many dazzling pearl flowers on Wen Yang's head.
There is a flying phoenix on the phoenix crown, which echoes the golden phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the wedding dress, making Wen Yang look noble and elegant.
Then Qiuju carefully drew Wen Yang's eyebrows with a black brush, applied a layer of peach rouge on her cheeks, and finally applied bright red lipstick on Wen Yang.
After the decoration was completed, due to the tight time, Wen Yang, surrounded by palace maids, immediately went to the hall where the Emperor and Empress of the Mausoleum were.
After the farewell ceremony was completed, it was the auspicious time for departure. Wen Yang was helped by the palace maids and sat on the gorgeous marriage carriage.
The carriage was tied with red satin knots, which looked very festive.
After sitting down, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved goodbye to the crowd for the last time.
With the sound of a horn, the huge marriage team began to move forward slowly, and Wen Yang officially set out on the journey to Jiang State.
At the same time, two teams set out in secret...
After leaving Lingcheng, it took three days for the marriage team to finally reach the first post station.
Qiu Ju cautiously asked Wen Yang, "Your Highness, would you like to stop at the post station to rest?"
It was just the time when the sun was setting, and Wen Yang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
After several days of trekking, the accompanying Iron Eagle Guards still remained vigilant at all times, but upon closer inspection, there was also a hint of fatigue between their brows.
Although the accompanying maids tried their best to maintain their dignity, their slightly hunched backs showed some fatigue from the journey.
Wen Yang lowered the curtain and said to Qiu Ju, who was standing beside him, "Tell them that they should rest at the post station today and have a good rest."
"Yes." Qiuju took the order and immediately got off the carriage to convey Wen Yang's words.
So the marriage team stopped moving forward and slowly drove into the post station under orderly guidance.
After entering the post station, Wen Yang slowly got off the carriage with the help of Qiu Ju.
The people at the post station immediately came forward, bowed respectfully, and then immediately arranged a place for Wen Yang and his companions to rest.
After the Iron Eagle Guard confirmed the house where Wen Yang lived, they went up to the second floor of the inn and checked the house carefully in advance. Only after ensuring that it was safe did they let Wen Yang enter.
After entering the house, Wen Yang looked around and found that although the layout here could not match the luxury of the princess's mansion, it was clean and tidy.
After the bumpy ride these past few days, she was indeed a little tired. Moreover, she was accompanied by the envoys sent by her father and officials from the Ministry of Rites. She had to try her best to maintain her princess's dignity on the road. It was not until she entered the house that Wen Yang was able to truly escape from the heavy ceremony and the gazes of the crowd.
Wen Yang immediately closed the door, heaved a long sigh, and impatiently took off the golden phoenix crown on his head and placed it on the table. He called to Qiu Ju as if for help, "Quick, quick, get the post station staff to bring a bucket of water. I need to take a bath and change my clothes!"
After hearing what Wen Yang said, Qiuju half-jokingly said, "Your Highness hasn't mentioned this matter in the past few days. I thought you were going to wear this wedding dress to Jiang State." As she spoke, she squatted down and picked out a light dress from the box. It was exactly the style that Wen Yang liked to wear.
The other young palace maids immediately stepped forward to help Wen Yang take off her red wedding dress and carefully put it into the box.
After Wen Yang took off her wedding gown, she dared to raise her arms with a swagger. She rubbed her neck, which was sore from the pressure of the phoenix crown, and said helplessly, "I didn't think about the difficulty of the journey before leaving. Now I realize that this is torture."
Watching Wen Yang take off his dignified mask and return to his familiar appearance, Qiu Ju smiled and said, "Your Highness has suffered. I will quickly order the post station to bring a bucket of water so that Your Highness can take a bath and relax."
Wen Yang nodded.
So Qiuju went out of the house to look for someone from the post station.
Since it was the princess's order, the water came quickly. After Wen Yang took a bath, Qiu Ju changed her into that light dress and re-combed her hair into a simple and elegant bun.
In the evening, the accompanying chef borrowed the kitchen of the post station to make some simple meals and sent them to Wen Yang's house. Only then did Wen Yang feel like he was gradually coming back to life.
Since the entire team was exhausted from the journey, Wen Yang said to Qiu Ju and the other palace maids, "Everyone is tired today. You don't need to wait on me tonight. Go down and have a good rest."
When the other palace maids heard this, they all smiled with joy.
Qiu Ju panicked, "Your Highness, how can this be possible? What if something unexpected happens in the middle of the night?"
"It's okay. There are Iron Eagle Guards taking turns guarding this area, so don't worry. If you don't recover and make any mistakes while serving me later, I will punish you." Wen Yang pretended to be angry.
"This..." Qiuju was still a little hesitant.
But Wen Yang didn't give her a chance to hesitate. She stood up and gently pushed Qiuju out, saying with a smile, "Stop this, go and get some rest. The next time you come across the post station, it may be a few days later."
Qiuju knew that His Highness was kind-hearted, so she did not refuse. She bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will take my leave first." After that, she respectfully led the palace maids out of Wen Yang's room.
After everyone left, Wen Yang looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he blew out the candles in the room and lay down on the bed.
At this moment, night fell, and within a radius of ten miles, only the lights in front of the post station were flickering faintly.
It was quiet all around, with only the occasional rustling of footsteps from patrolling guards.
However, in a dense forest not far from the post station, a group of people in night clothes were lurking in the shadows of the woods, their sharp eyes fixed on the movements of the post station.
The leader had a gloomy face. It was Song Yizi, who had been detained in the Ministry of Justice for a long time.
