Jin Yi Kill - Chapter 98

The biggest event in the capital now is probably that Jin Yiwei is directing Tongzhi Lu Heng’s wedding. Nobles, whether their husbands or their young ladies, get married early, but Lu Heng procrastinated until he was in his twenties, and there was not even a famous woman beside him. Even with the element of filial piety to his father, there were still rumors in the court. Less gossip.

Originally, everyone had assumed that there was something wrong with Lu Heng’s health. Who would have thought that after Lu Heng’s filial piety, he suddenly announced the marriage news, and all the people who could be named in the capital received invitations.

Lu Heng’s move was very abrupt, and all forces were speculating about where his wife came from and what impact it would have on the situation in the future. Everyone was busy speculating about the mysterious prospective Mrs. Lu, and the rumors about Lu Heng not holding up, not liking women, etc., were self-defeating.

Wang Yanqing didn’t know the outside world’s speculation about her, she was concentrating on preparing for the wedding. A woman should marry from her parents’ family. Both Wang Yanqing’s parents died. In order to make the wedding look good, Lu Heng bought a house in the capital in her name. Three days before the wedding, Wang Yanqing moved from Lu’s house to another courtyard. She got married from here on the wedding day, and after the wedding, she could justifiably move into the Lu Mansion.

Because it was a temporary transitional house, Wang Yanqing didn’t care, and everything in the house was completely delegated to Lu Heng’s staff. Although this was a private residence that only lasted for three days, Lu Heng was more devoted to this property than his own mansion.

There is no other reason, but thanks to Fu Tingzhou.

With his eyes closed, Lu Heng could guess what Fu Tingzhou wanted to do. The wedding was imminent, and the Lu residence could not penetrate. The three days that Wang Yanqing moved out temporarily was the best chance to do it. Lu Heng sifted and sifted through the people in the house, using familiar faces to communicate with each other, and not a stranger could come in. There were also many guards outside the house.

Lu Heng protected Wang Yanqing tightly, and under his strict guard, these three days finally passed without any danger. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.

Wang Yanqing was called up shortly after closing her eyes. The maids waited on her to bathe and change her clothes, put on white linings, and then five or six people surrounded her and tossed her with makeup. From outside, Lu Heng invited Quanfu people with living parents, a harmonious husband and wife, and children to comb Wang Yanqing’s hair. Mrs. Quanfu held a rhino horn comb and passed through Wang Yanqing’s waterfall-like long hair, singing softly in her mouth: “One Comb to the end, comb the white hair to the end, comb the white hair to the eyebrows, comb the children and grandchildren all over the ground…”

Wang Yanqing sat upright in front of the mirror. She looked at the woman in the bronze mirror with crooked eyebrows, lacquered star eyes, and flowers like peaches and plums. She felt a strange feeling. The makeup is applied layer by layer, and her eyebrows and eyes are carefully drawn. Although it is more dazzling than before, it also hides her characteristics, like wearing a gorgeous mask, beauty is beautiful. Wang Yanqing always felt unreal when he looked at it.

Including the grand and gorgeous wedding dress not far away, the new house where people come and go, and even herself, who is about to become the bride, all make Wang Yanqing feel unreal. She was played around like a puppet in front of the mirror for a long time, and finally, the maids said, “Okay, help the girl to change.”

Wang Yanqing wore a cumbersome and heavy hair crown on her head, so she didn’t dare to make a big move. She could only spread her arms and let the maids swirl around her, dressing her in bright and cumbersome wedding dresses one by one.

The maids unfolded the woven gold horse-faced skirt, exchanged the laces, wrapped them tightly in circles, and carefully tied the horse-faced skirt around Wang Yanqing’s waist. Then came the red jackets, the maids half-kneeled on the ground, flattened the edges of their clothes, and backed away softly. The two maids filled the vacant seats with long large shirts. The red shirts reached the ground. The chests were fastened with three gold-studded pearl buttons. Up, dignified and solemn. On top of the big-sleeved shirt, there was also a cyan robe, which hung above his knees, and a cluster of pearl tassels adorned the lower end of the robe, swaying gently with the wind.

Several layers of clothes were pressed down inside and out, and the bride had to walk slowly even if she was a lively character. Wang Yanqing clasped his hands in front of him, sat on the wedding bed with the support of the maids, and waited for the welcoming team.

The red dress was as bright as fire, Wang Yanqing was sitting on the bed, the skirt neatly hung down beside his feet, and only a pair of cloud shoe tips adorned with bright pearls were exposed on the feet. Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, and even the rich bridal makeup can’t cover the silence between her brows. She sat quietly like this, like the lightest and most delicate blank space on a thick and colorful picture.

When Mrs. Quanfu and Xi Niang met, they secretly praised the beauty of this woman, which they have only seen in their lives. It’s no wonder that as a civilian woman, Lord Lu is attracted to her. Such a face is worth tens of thousands of family wealth.

In addition to the emotion, everyone saw that the woman who was about to be promoted to Mrs. Lu was neither impatient nor impatient in such a grand occasion, and her face was neither proud nor timid, so they couldn’t help but give her a high look. However, in fact, Wang Yanqing didn’t have any extra expressions, she was just too hungry to have the strength.

The wedding ceremony takes a whole day. In order to prevent the bride from wanting to change in the middle of the ceremony, the bride is often not allowed to eat the night before. Wang Yanqing had only drank a few sips of water since waking up, and after being tossed about by them for a long time, she had to wear a heavy hair crown and Xia Pi, how could she still have the strength to think about things.

Wang Yanqing has no relatives in the capital, and Xi Niang sees that there are no sisters from her parents’ family to add makeup, so she keeps talking flattering things around her, for fear of being cold. In fact, Wang Yanqing didn’t care. No one was going to marry her, so she saved the effort of socializing.

She waited for a while, and gradually the auspicious time came. She vaguely heard the sound of blowing and beating from outside, the maid came to cover her head, Xi Niang raised her hand and tossed it while saying auspicious words.

The hijab blocked his vision, and he could only see his slender white fingertips clasped on his knees, his sleeves symmetrically stacked on his side, and a solemn and luxurious blue knee covering in the middle. The sound of joy was getting louder and louder, Wang Yanqing seemed to just shake her head, and Xi Niang’s happy shouts rang in her ears. At the same time, the maid supported her arm and walked out of the house with her.

The embroidered shoes fell on the hard and cold floor tiles outside, and Wang Yanqing was shocked by the cold wind, finally giving birth to a sense of reality. She is getting married, and her second brother is not far away. What she had been looking forward to for many years was finally fulfilled today.

However, why did she not relax at all, but was scared instead?

Wang Yanqing walked out of the new house surrounded by the crowd and went to the main hall to say goodbye to the high hall. Wang Yanqing’s parents and grandparents have all passed away, and today she bid farewell to the tablets of Wang Cong and Shen Lan. The tablet was brought back by Lu Heng from Datong Mansion, and since then it has been enshrined in this house, which is regarded as Wang Yanqing’s family.

Wang Yanqing was stunned again, all this was arranged by Lu Heng. Although it was their wedding in name, Wang Yanqing didn’t worry about anything other than trying on the wedding dress, and Lu Heng arranged it all before she knew it. Wang Yanqing felt a little more at ease. This is the brother who has been considerate and caring to her for many years. He is really good to her. If his parents and grandparents knew about it, they would also approve of this marriage.

Wang Yanqing moved the lotus step lightly, but the hem of the skirt did not move, as she walked towards the main hall. Lu Heng was waiting in front of the hall in red clothes. He usually wears red clothes, and the flying fish clothes are extremely luxurious and arrogant, but today’s clothes make him feel extra grand.

The red cloud brocade is embroidered with dark patterns, and the rhinoceros belt ties up the crimson clothes high, outlining a neat and slender waistline. He stood under the eaves of the corridor, the outside wind was howling, and the broken Qiong was flying, and she covered the red hijab and walked towards him step by step in the crowd.

The heart that Lu Heng had mentioned for half a year finally fell, the things he was guarding against did not happen, and everything was the best. She waited obediently where she was, looking forward to waiting eagerly for him to marry her. Now that he has successfully received the marriage, there will be no more twists and turns along the way.

Wang Yanqing’s eyes were flushed, and he couldn’t see where he had gone. Xi Niang motioned for her to salute, and Wang Yanqing walked upright.

The hand covering the back of her hand was slender and strong, with tiny thin calluses on the pulp of her fingers and palm, and Wang Yanqing immediately realized who it was. Wang Yanqing was a little puzzled. When she heard Xi Niang talk about the process yesterday, she didn’t remember the new couple holding hands. Did she forget?

Wang Yanqing saw that there was no objection around him, so he thought he had made a mistake. In fact, it wasn’t that she remembered it wrong, but that Lu Heng changed the process at her own discretion.

Xi Niang’s eyes widened with anxiety. Before Li Cheng, the husband and wife could not contact each other. Master Lu’s move was not in line with the ceremony! But Xi Niang looked at Lu Heng’s calm, far-reaching, bottomless eyes, she didn’t dare to talk nonsense, she could only pretend she was blind and let Lu Heng go.

Lu Heng led Wang Yanqing into the main hall. The tablets of Wang Cong and Shen Lan have been placed directly above the hall, and Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing bowed to the spiritual tablets in turn.

Marriage is a major event, I dare not be self-reliant, tell my ancestors, and keep it for a hundred years.

Lu Heng silently apologized to Wang Cong and his wife who had never met. In the future, he is willing to take over from his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, accompany her and protect her with his whole life.

After saying goodbye to the high hall, Xi Le began to play again. Lu Heng led the team on horseback, while Wang Yanqing, supported by Xi Niang, boarded the sedan chair and headed to her residence for the rest of her life, Lu Mansion.

After Wang Yanqing got into the sedan chair, he breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t get a drop of water, and the clothes were very heavy. She bowed and stood up all the way, and gradually felt powerless and dizzy. Wang Yanqing secretly told herself to endure a little longer, and she would be able to go back to the new house to rest after the Lu Mansion went to the church.

Wang Yanqing clasped her hands, even if no one was watching, she was sitting upright in the sedan chair. Wang Yanqing was recovering his strength when he suddenly felt movement below.

Wang Yanqing was startled, she quickly lifted her hijab and looked down. In the blink of an eye, Wang Yanqing quickly thought, she didn’t bring a self-defense dagger for today’s wedding. Could it be that someone calculated this and set up an ambush in the sedan chair?

However, this is a welcoming party. Lu Heng is not far in front of him, and there is only a curtain of entourage guards. What is the use of the assassin hiding here?

Everything happened in an instant, Wang Yanqing looked down, and the other party also climbed out of the dark compartment under the seat. Seeing Wang Yanqing, she winked at Wang Yanqing pleadingly, ignoring that half of her body was still in the dark.

Wang Yanqing could see that this woman was afraid that she would shout out. Wang Yanqing had never seen this woman, but there was an inexplicable familiarity in her heart. There seemed to be a voice in her heart reminding her that she didn’t have to be nervous, this woman would not hurt her.

Wang Yanqing couldn’t figure out where the sound came from, but she felt that a woman hiding under the sedan chair should have other difficulties. Wang Yanqing didn’t make a sound, but moved away silently, letting the woman climb out from under the seat first.

After Jade was able to move freely, she immediately knelt down to Wang Yanqing and said in a low voice, “Girl, my servant has finally found you.”

The top commander of Jin Yiwei got married, and the sedan chair was of course very imposing, and it was not a problem to accommodate two or three people at the same time. And the weight of the woman is light, and the two of them are probably not as heavy as the sedan chair, so there is one more person hidden in the sedan chair, and the sedan chair driver does not feel wrong.

Wang Yanqing looked at the person kneeling beside her leg and had a very absurd feeling: “Who are you?”

“The slave is Jade.” Jade lowered her head and wiped away her tears. The welcoming team was whistling and beating. The high-pitched suona sound overwhelmed everything. Jade deliberately lowered her voice, but it was not heard by outsiders, “Girl, the slave has served you for ten years. Don’t you remember?”

The Lu mansion is like an iron barrel, and the house where Wang Yanqing lives temporarily is also guarded by Lu Heng, so Fu Tingzhou can only use the sedan chair to greet his relatives. The welcoming team had to circle the city for a week, and this was a rare time for Wang Yanqing to be alone, but it was an excellent opportunity to do it.

Wang Yanqing stared at Jade’s face and fell silent. Seeing Wang Yanqing’s indifference, Feicui’s eyes were calm as if she was looking at a stranger. Fei Cui was both sad and distressed, holding back her tears, she brought the events of these years together.

Jade is three years older than Wang Yanqing. When Wang Yanqing first entered the mansion, Jade was transferred to Wang Yanqing to serve. At first, Feicui was a second-class maid, but she was promoted because of her proper work, and finally became Wang Yanqing’s personal maid.

Wang Yanqing looks glamorous on the surface, but she is actually an orphan girl who is under the fence of others. She and Jade are dependent on each other. They are called master and servant, but they are actually like sisters.

Feicui knew all the habits that Fu Tingzhou didn’t know. What Wang Yanqing likes and hates, what he has experienced and what injuries he has suffered over the years, no one in the world is more familiar than Jade. Jadeite does not need to pay attention to words at all, truth is the most powerful evidence.

Wang Yanqing kept staring at Jade’s face. This woman sneaked into the sedan chair on the way to her marriage, and said that the man who was leading the way and was about to become her husband was a fake, and that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was Wang Yanqing’s real home. Such behavior must be deliberate. They must have some conspiracy.

But Wang Yanqing tried for a long time, but couldn’t find any sign that Jade was lying. Wang Yanqing began to wonder if this woman had received special training and could perfectly disguise her expression. But Jade’s subconscious movements proved that she had not received any training, and her ability to control her emotions was far inferior to that of Jin Yiwei. She was the most ordinary maid.

What is even more frightening is that the details in Jade’s mouth faintly made Wang Yanqing feel a sense of echo.

No one can make up a lie like this, and many habits that Wang Yanqing hadn’t noticed himself could not happen to happen one after another.

Wang Yanqing seemed to be pushed by someone on the edge of the cliff, and kept falling into the depths of the darkness. The whirring wind around her swallowed her up, and the limbs were numb as if they were not hers.

She didn’t want to believe it, but the inexplicable ominous feeling in her mind told her that it was true.

If Jade’s words are true, who is that person outside the sedan chair?

Halfway through Jade speaking, she found that Wang Yanqing was completely stunned, she could see her pale face through the grand makeup. Fei Cui couldn’t bear it, and swallowed her words silently, and did not continue to stimulate her.

The sound of the suona was loud and loud, the drums were agitated, the gongs and drums were loud, and the people’s cheers were constantly heard along the road. The inside and outside of the sedan chair seem to be two worlds. The outside is so lively, but the inside is like a cold cave.

Wang Yanqing sat motionless for a long time, and Feicui heard the signal sound along the way. This was the code that the Hou Ye agreed in advance. Hearing this sound meant that it was not far from the Lu Mansion. in situ. Fei Cui felt quite uneasy when she thought of the decisive commander outside who killed without blinking an eye, but she couldn’t disturb Wang Yanqing. Just when Emerald didn’t know what to do, Wang Yanqing finally spoke up: “Did the Marquis of Zhenyuan sent you here?”

Emerald’s expression froze, not knowing how to respond. Before she hesitated, Wang Yanqing had understood, Wang Yanqing nodded lightly, his tone was as light as smoke: “I see. You should hide first.”

Feicui felt that the girl’s state was very wrong, but time was running out, and Feicui had no time to talk about it, so she could only endure the worry and hide back at the bottom of the seat. Wang Yanqing sat silently in the sedan chair, the music outside was so joyful and lively, but Wang Yanqing only felt sad when he heard it.

The music became louder and louder, and Xi Niang outside the car beamed to remind her that the Lu residence was approaching, and asked her to sit down quickly. The sedan chair fell, and the three arrows were evenly and stably nailed to the head of the sedan chair. Xi Niang was full of auspicious words as she opened the sedan curtain.

The cold and pale sunlight in winter penetrated into the sedan chair, Wang Yanqing raised his head, just in line with the figure outside. Seeing that Wang Yanqing had actually lifted the hijab, Lu Heng paused slightly, then smiled and bowed, using his figure to block the sight of the outside guests and Xi Niang, and personally came to the sedan chair to help her.

Lu Heng held Wang Yanqing’s hand, and immediately realized that her hand was ice-cold. More details rushed into his eyes, Wang Yanqing lifted her hijab, she sat on the left side of the sedan chair, revealing the space to the right, and the wooden planks under the seat showed signs of movement…

Lu Heng’s eyes narrowed quickly, his face was still, but he still held Wang Yanqing tightly, pulling her to stand up resolutely and forcefully. At the same time, he used his figure to cover, and gently pulled her hijab down.

So the guests saw that Master Lu, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was considered to be the most difficult to deal with in history, helped his new wife out of the sedan chair. The guests laughed, applauded and laughed.

The crowd was noisy, with smiling faces and congratulations everywhere, even his political enemies rarely smiled. There is so much joy in the world, but Lu Heng feels false, including the road under his feet, every step makes him wonder, is he dreaming?

In the false world, only the touch of her fingertips is real. Her fingers were cold, trembling in his palm, and this time, no matter how tight he held it, she couldn’t get any warmer.

Lu Heng didn’t know how to describe his mood at the moment. In the crowd, he saw Fu Tingzhou standing on the side of the road watching the ceremony. Fu Tingzhou held his hands behind his back, without expression or movement, he just looked at him quietly like that.

The eyes of the two met, and in an instant, the sword, light and sword shadow, killing intent radiated in all directions. Lu Heng kept thinking about how confident he would be if he killed Fu Tingzhou now. Fu Tingzhou was probably also thinking that he had to take Wang Yanqing away before the ceremony was completed.

Lu Heng was too focused on the idea of ​​killing people, and for a moment forgot to guard against the external environment. Just as he was slightly distracted, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking air approaching from behind.

Lu Heng’s eyes suddenly became sharp, someone attacked?
