Chapter 289: A Bloody Wedding!

The wedding of the Third Prince marrying Bu Tinghe as his side concubine came as scheduled. Just as Shen Ninghua was dressing up in the room, Qing Que walked in with a long face, her arm stained with blood.

Shen Ninghua’s eyes glinted as she asked, “Qing Que, what happened? Bai Ruo, go get the medicine box.”

Qing Que did not care about her injuries. “Miss, I have something to report.”

Bai Ruo brought the medicine box over. Opening the medicine box, Shen Ninghua frowned and applied the medicine for Qing Que, “What is it?”

Qing Que was a martial arts expert. After knowing that she was from the Biyun Pavilion, Shen Ninghua personally made medicine to heal Qing Que’s hidden injuries. Now that she had recovered her martial arts skills, few people could injure her like this.

The wound in Qing Que’s arm was so deep that the bone could be seen. Her sleeves were soaked in blood, but she didn’t even frown. She said, “I was stabbed by the people of Biyun Pavilion. There are six of them in total, and they are almost the most powerful assassins in Biyun Pavilion. I found that they were all disguised as Bu Tinghe’s maids in the Third Prince Mansion.”

“Disguised as Bu Tinghe’s maids? What does the Empress want to do? Is she going to ruin Third Prince’s wedding?”

“I don’t know either, but one of the assassins accidentally found me, so I killed them all. Please punish me, Miss.”

Shen Ninghua looked at her and shook her head. “I’ve told you long before that you are allowed to make your own decisions when facing emergencies. Since you’ve killed them, just let it be. You not only prevented your identity from being exposed but also weakened Biyun Pavilion’s strength. You just killed two birds with one stone, why should I punish you? You didn’t leave any trace, did you?”

“No, not a single trace was left.” Qing Que hurriedly shook her head. Hearing Shen Ninghua’s comforting words, she seemed to have relaxed a lot.

“Well, that’s good.” Said Shen Ninghua. She frowned and thought, ‘Why did the Empress send people over?’

After thinking for a long time, Shen Ninghua still could not figure out why, which made her feel uneasy. The Empress hadn’t taken any action recently, and the Emperor was also stepping control measures over her and the Zhao Family. The patriarch of the Zhao Family did not dare to speak in the court. The Empress should know that it was best to do nothing at this time and just let the Third Prince be arrogant. However, she sent people to the Third Prince Mansion…

Shen Ninghua’s eyes suddenly lit up. She knew that Biyun Pavilion was the Empress’ force, so she knew it was done by the Empress. But the Emperor and the others did not know. If the Empress dared to cause trouble, she must have found a scapegoat. In any way, the best scapegoat for the Empress was definitely her and Baili Junyi!

“Qing Que, you rest in the mansion. I will let Hong Ling take care of the other things.”

“No, Miss, Biyun Pavilion has a unique way to transmit information. Since those people were killed by me, no information will be sent back. The Empress will soon find something wrong. So, I have to deal with it myself.” Qing Que looked firm as she continued, “Moreover, I’m fine. These injuries are not a big deal.”

Back then, in Biyun Pavilion, Qing Que could complete the task even when her arm was almost chopped off, let alone the minor injuries she now had in her arm. Otherwise, she couldn’t always occupy the first place in Biyun Pavilion.

Seeing that Shen Ninghua was still frowning, Qing Que quickly added, “Miss, if you don’t let me go, I will sneak there as well.”

Shen Ninghua was amused by her words. She asked Bai Ruo to bring her the best medicine and bandaged the wound for Qing Que. After that, she nodded, “You can go now. Remember to keep in touch with Hong Ling in time. No matter what the Empress’s plan is, we have to stop her.”

Although Shen Ninghua also hated Bu Tinghe, she was even more afraid of the Empress. Therefore, she decided to deal with the Empress first. Moreover, this time, Bu Tinghe would definitely not make trouble. After all, Prince An was watching her. He must ensure Bu Tinghe married the Third Prince smoothly.

As Shen Ninghua was making the arrangements, Baili Junyi was also busy. He was in charge of dealing with the people from the Qingtian Pavilion. Things were much easier for Shen Ninghua because she had the help of Qing Que in dealing with Biyun Pillion, but Baili Junyi had to take care of Qingtian Pavilion himself.

After arranging everything, the two of them got into the carriage and headed towards the Third Prince Mansion.

Dressed in a red wedding dress, Bu Tinghe sat in the sedan with the help of the bride nanny. Her face under the veil was cold, without the slightest hint of happiness.

The happy music was playing loud outside the sedan, but she found it so annoying. She gripped the jade ruyi in her hand tightly, and a trace of strong hatred flashed in her eyes. When she came to Da’an with Bu Jinglan from the Great Yue Kingdom, her heart was filled with excitement and joy. She came to Da’an Kingdom because she wanted to help Baili Junyi regain his identity and marry him. Now that she thought about it, it was like a lifetime ago.

She didn’t expect he had only that bitch Shen Ninghua in his heart, and he even hated her because of that bitch! Thinking of the look of disgust in Baili Junyi’s eyes, Bu Tinghe gnashed her teeth in hatred.

Most of the time, Bu Tinghe had an illusion that she had married Baili Junyi. With her help, he became the Emperor and she became the Empress. The two of them loved each other, respected each other, and had many children!

However, why did it become like this now?

“Land the sedan!”

The protocol officer’s voice interrupted her thoughts. With the help of the bride nanny, Bu Tinghe walked out of the sedan. Then, a piece of red silk was stuffed into her hand. She felt the pulling force from the red silk, and she walked forward obediently, but with every step she took, her unwillingness deepened.

She should have married Baili Junyi, become the Empress of Da’an Kingdom, and accepted the worship of all the people in the country. Why did she marry Third Prince now?

“Bow!”

Hearing the voice beside her ear, she felt a push on her back and obediently bowed down. She felt like a puppet. Was she really going to accept her fate? No, it was impossible. She had endured the month of inhuman pain. Now, as long as she made a good plan, she would definitely achieve what she wanted.

As long as she had the supreme power in her hand, she could kill anyone with just a slight movement of her lips. She could possess any man as long as she crooked her finger at him. By then…

The corners of Bu Tinghe’s lips lifted, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Because of Bu Tinghe’s unique identity and Prince An’s presence, Baili Qingcang and the Empress also came. They were sitting in the highest position, with the Crown Prince on the left and Prince An on the right, followed by the princes, princesses, and officials.

Shen Ninghua sat next to Baili Junyi and looked at the new couple who were bowing in the hall. She whispered to him, “Such a grand ceremony was held just to marry a side concubine. Who dares to marry his daughter to the Third Prince next time?”

Baili Junyi curled his lips and held Shen Ninghua’s hand in his palm, “High-ranking officials don’t want their daughters to be suppressed by the side concubine. Low-ranking official’s daughters are not qualified. Isn’t that what Prince An wants?”

Shen Ninghua smiled with a hint of craftiness in her eyes, “But the Emperor may grant a marriage for him, won’t he?”

Baili Junyi exchanged a glance with Shen Ninghua, and a hint of smile flashed across their eyes at the same time. Bu Tinghe was now like the sun in midsky, and no one in the Third Prince Mansion dared to go against her. However, what if a woman of the same noble status became the Third Prince’s main wife? The fight between two jealous women would definitely keep the Third Prince busy.

After finishing the ceremony, Bu Tinghe was sent to the wedding room to wait.

A maid came to invite Shen Ninghua, “Princess Yi, the Crown Princess is inviting you over.”

Shen Ninghua felt curious. “The Crown Princess?” The Crown Prince, Baili Jinyi, married, Gu Yazhi, the legitimate daughter of the Gu Clan. However, it was said that she was in poor health after giving birth to a daughter. She spent most of her time in the courtyard recovering and rarely attended banquets. Why did she come today?

Shen Ninghua looked at Baili Junyi and smiled at him. Then she got up and followed the maid out. Baili Junyi picked up his glass and took a sip of wine, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. The Crown Prince also helped. It seemed that the Empress was going all out this time.

When Shen Ninghua got there, she found that not only she was invited, but there were also the Second Prince’s side concubine, Yang Yingxue, and the Sixth Prince’s main wife, Zhao Ruyun. Excluding the Fourth Prince’s main wife who had not yet arrived, each married prince had a representative there.

The Crown Princess Gu Yazhi was not a stunner, and she looked a bit weak. However, she was also very beautiful. She was wearing the official Crown Princess attire. Her eyes were filled with warmth, and a learned and refined aura lingered around her body, which made her look extremely gentle.

“Greetings to Your Highness.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony, dear.” The Crown Princess personally helped Shen Ninghua up, with admiration in her eyes, “I’ve always heard that you’re beautiful, but my body is weak and I’ve never had the chance to meet you. Now that I’ve seen you, you really deserve to be called the number one beauty of Da’an Kingdom.”

Shen Ninghua smiled, “I’m flattered to hear you said so, Your Highness.”

The Crown Princess smiled gently. Born in Duke Wei Mansion, she had an extremely high status. However, the people in her mansion were not sophisticated. Her parents doted on her, and she did not suffer any grievances after marrying the Crown Prince. In addition, she had been recuperating in a country villa later because of her poor health, so she had never seen those nasty fights and competitions between women. Her personality didn’t change much after getting married. If she showed her admiration to a person, she really meant so.

Therefore, after meeting Shen Ninghua for the first time, the Crown Princess liked Shen Ninghua so much that she held her hand all the time. Shen Ninghua was sensitive to people’s mentality, so she could tell whether the Crown Princess was genuine to her or not. Seeing through the Crown Princess’s personality, Shen Ninghua actually quite appreciated her.

After all, few people in the royal family could be so simple-minded.

The Crown Princess held Shen Ninghua’s hand and talked to her with a smile.

“Now that my body is much better, I came to the Third Prince’s wedding to see the bride. It is said that she is as beautiful as you. So, I invited Yingxue and Ruyun as well. I also wanted to invite the Fourth Prince’s wife. Unfortunately, she just had a miscarriage and did not come to the wedding. It is a pity.”

“You are in good health now. There will be many opportunities for you to attend banquets in the future. You don’t have to be in a hurry to see the Fourth Prince’s wife.”

“Well, you are right. Let’s go to the wedding room and have a chat with the bride.”

Yang Yingxue had the lowest status, so she had no right to speak. Zhao Ruyun was afraid of Shen Ninghua, so she didn’t dare to interrupt. Therefore, only the Crown Princess and Shen Ninghua chatted happily.

When they arrived at the door of the wedding room, they found there wasn’t anybody in front of the door, not even a bride nanny. They felt strange.

The Crown Princess frowned, “Where are the servants? They are supposed to stand in front of the door.”

Sensing the smell of blood from behind the door, and Shen Ninghua abruptly stopped, her eyes filled with coldness. “Something has happened”

“Your Highness, I also something is wrong. It is better to let the maid open the door to take a look first.”

The Crown Princess nodded and motioned the maid behind her to knock on the door. The maid went forward and knocked for a long time, but no one answered. “Your Highness, there doesn’t seem to be anyone in the room…”

As she spoke, she casually pushed the door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly popped open, and a strong nauseating smell of blood suddenly pounced out.

“Oh!”
