A squad of Imperial Guards hurried down Chang’an Avenue.
The vendors and pedestrians on the streets seemed to be used to it, and moved aside slightly. Once the guards passed, the lively atmosphere immediately returned.
“This is the fifth one already, isn’t it?” a vendor asked someone beside him casually.
“That’s right. I’ve been setting up shop here for a few days, and I counted. It’s the fifth one.”
“I wonder who’s the unlucky one this time.” He wasn’t gloating, he was simply curious about the gossip.
“Who else could it be? It’s definitely one of those officials from the crown prince’s faction.”
Speaking of bad luck, who could be as unlucky as the Bulwark Duke Residence?
They were just holding a wedding banquet in their manor, but before they could complete the ceremony, the crown prince and the duke were captured by the Ministry of Justice. It’s a pity that the old duke had been fighting for our Great Xia his whole life.”
He sighed. “Now that you mention it, doesn’t it seem like that new bride is the unluckiest of them all?
The crown prince’s rebellion would definitely implicate the Bulwark Duke’s family, as they were the crown prince’s maternal relatives.
“But this new bride…” Upon saying that, the man clicked his tongue and said seriously, “She was taken away as soon as she entered the manor. She might even be beheaded!”
That didn’t make sense to anyone listening.
Putting aside whether the crown prince was really plotting a rebellion, this bride was really unlucky. No matter what the outcome was, she would be tainted by bad luck…
At the Bulwark Duke Residence.
Ever since the crown prince and the duke were taken away on the day of the wedding banquet.
The Imperial Guards surrounded the residence and did not allow anyone to enter or leave. There was no news from outside.
This caused the people in the residence to panic, thinking that the duke’s residence was probably doomed.
Furthermore, Madam Li, the old duchess, was sick in bed and could not carry out her duties.
The servants were even more careless. The food that they delivered to their masters was often cold.
