Ninety years after the founding of the Dan Kingdom, the colors between heaven and earth suddenly changed that day. The wind and clouds surged, and the sky was overcast and chaotic.
Amid the whistling wind, people in the Dan Kingdom emptied the streets and alleys. They swarmed towards the He Lan Prince's Mansion.
"What are you all in such a hurry for? Are you rushing to be reincarnated?!"
"Spit, spit, spit! Don't talk nonsense! If we're late, we'll miss the fun!"
"What fun?"
"The sickly hostage from the Yuan Kingdom is going to marry the dying legitimate daughter of our current prime minister!"
"Really? With one sick and the other dying, what kind of wedding is this? They might not even be able to handle the funeral..."
"What do you know? This is for warding off evil with a happy event!"
At the He Lan Prince's Mansion.
The front of the mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons. Two huge red lanterns were swaying lonely in the wind.
Inside the mansion, although it was filled with red decorations, the gloomy sky gave it an extra sense of weirdness.
The on - looking commoners crowded in front of the mansion, craning their necks to look inside.
In the main hall, He Lan Yanting, dressed in a big red wedding robe, stood there with a somewhat pale complexion. Although his figure was tall, it was a bit thin. The wedding robe fluttered in the wind, making him look weak and frail.
His slender fingers held a wedding knot, and the other end of the knot was his bride, Feng Yunshu, the legitimate daughter of the Feng Mansion.
Feng Yunshu was dressed in gorgeous phoenix coronets and embroidered robes. Her figure was even more frail, almost on the verge of collapse. Her face covered by the veil was not clearly visible. One could vaguely see her extremely thin chin.
Sitting upright in front of the hall was a middle - aged couple. Prime Minister Feng got married early and was now in his prime. He was tall and imposing, sitting upright.
The woman sitting next to him was wearing fine silk and embroidered outerwear, adorned with jewels and pearls. Her makeup was delicate and dignified. This woman was Prime Minister Feng's second wife, Lady Mu, Feng Yunshu's stepmother.
At this moment, Lady Mu was looking at the new couple in front of her, with a faint smile always on her face.
"Newlyweds, bow to your parents!"
"Father - in - law, Mother - in - law, your son - in - law is here—"
He Lan Yanting slowly spoke, his voice obviously lacking in vigor. He was about to lead Feng Yunshu to bow to the parents.
But at this moment, Feng Yunshu beside him trembled all over. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, her body swayed and she fell backwards.
He Lan Yanting immediately stepped forward to catch her. The others in the hall were greatly shocked. Only Prime Minister Feng and Lady Mu gasped after a moment's pause, "Yunshu!"
However, Feng Yunshu had already lost her breath the moment she fell.
This legitimate daughter of the Feng Mansion died suddenly on her wedding day. A good wedding instantly turned into a funeral. The on - looking commoners sighed. However, this wedding was not over yet.
It seemed that the Feng Mansion had long planned this. In a short period of time, they had someone carry out a red coffin and methodically placed the dead Feng Yunshu into the coffin, wiping the blood from the corner of her lips.
At the same time, at Prime Minister Feng's signal, the butler, with a complex expression, brought a cup of wine and placed it on the table.
"Prince He Lan, this prime minister believes that you are a loyal and filial man with deep affection. My daughter is really not blessed enough..."
"But this prime minister really can't bear to see her lonely in the underworld. If Your Highness is willing to fulfill this, the Yuan Kingdom and the Dan Kingdom will surely be on good terms forever without war. The common people of both countries will be grateful to Your Highness!"
He Lan Yanting's gaze fell on the cup of wine on the table, his expression gloomy and unclear.
After a long while, He Lan Yanting slowly said, "Father - in - law, you're overestimating me. Yanting will not abandon his wife and live alone in the world. I must be worthy of heaven and earth and my conscience."
"Good, good boy!"
Prime Minister Feng sighed with emotion. Lady Mu beside him froze her smile slightly, but her eyes and eyebrows were full of pride. There was not a trace of grief.
"After bowing in the wedding ceremony, drink this nuptial wine and then go on your way. This prime minister will take care of the aftermath."
As Prime Minister Feng's emotionless voice fell, Yan Qi, the servant accompanying He Lan Yanting, panicked and glanced at the poisoned wine. He shouted in alarm, "Your Highness, you mustn't do this!"
He Lan Yanting nodded slightly and glanced at Yan Qi who was being held back. "Yan Qi, don't make a fuss. This king has made up his mind."
"Your Highness!"
Yan Qi wanted to say something else, but was quickly knocked unconscious by another servant and taken away.
The atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn and oppressive.
What was originally a wedding between two living people had instantly turned into an underworld wedding.
Some people who knew the truth couldn't bear to watch anymore and had to lower their heads to avoid the sight. Some simply averted their eyes. It was obvious that Prince He Lan was being forced to commit suicide to accompany his dead wife.
When Feng Yunshu was lying quietly in the coffin, with a red veil on her head, an inch of her slender and porcelain - white neck was exposed.
"Newlyweds, bow to each other!"
The person announcing the wedding ceremony continued to shout. He Lan Yanting calmly turned around and was about to bow to Feng Yunshu in the coffin.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a sudden thunderbolt rolled down from the sky and rushed straight towards Feng Yunshu's vital point.
Everyone present was shocked and stared in disbelief.
He Lan Yanting frowned and turned his head to check the situation. The eyelashes of the woman in the red coffin trembled slightly. The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, holding the edge of the coffin with her slender palms.
"Ah! The corpse is coming back to life!"
Everyone in the hall exclaimed and scattered in all directions like frightened birds. Prime Minister Feng and his wife were also greatly shocked and almost slipped off their chairs.
After all, they were in high positions. Prime Minister Feng quickly calmed down a bit. He said to the butler in a deep voice to go forward and check. "A bunch of useless people. Go forward quickly and see what's going on!"
The butler trembled and didn't dare to step forward rashly for a moment. "My Lord, this..."
He Lan Yanting, who was closest to the coffin, was also a bit surprised, but he was the first to calm down.
Looking at his newlywed wife who had suddenly "come back to life", he slightly lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts. Without any fear, he reached out and held Feng Yunshu's palm, then got up and pulled her out of the coffin.
Throughout the process, He Lan Yanting's tall figure was a bit wobbly. It seemed that just pulling a woman had exhausted all his strength, and his complexion became even paler.
Feng Yunshu was about to sit up on her own, but unexpectedly, her body was completely out of control. The phoenix coronets and embroidered robes on her body were extremely heavy, and this body was not very obedient.
Just then, a broad and warm palm held her hand. The palm was slightly cool, and it seemed that the owner of the palm had used a lot of strength to pull her up.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Just as she was pulled out of the coffin, Feng Yunshu heard the man's weak cough beside her.
She looked up at the man beside her. Her vision was blocked by the veil. Annoyed, she tore off the veil.
The woman's beautiful face was instantly exposed to everyone's sight. Although pale and thin, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a natural goddess. Her features were extremely bright and charming, and her temperament was a bit cold and detached.
Feng Yunshu's neck hurt from the weight of the phoenix coronet. She looked up to size up the man beside her.
He was also wearing a wedding robe. At first glance, he looked like a weak and handsome young man, but he was really good - looking.
Looking down at her own phoenix coronets and embroidered robes, Feng Yunshu suddenly had a splitting headache. Memories of the original Feng Yunshu's short life emerged in her mind.
Although she was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, her mother died during childbirth. The world regarded her as an ill - omened star. After her father remarried, her life became even worse. Everyone insulted her verbally when Prime Minister Feng wasn't around and didn't treat her as the master.
Especially her stepmother and her stepmother's children, they constantly targeted her both openly and secretly. They even made everyone think that she, as the legitimate daughter, was arrogant, unreasonable, and had a strange temper.
Then, her health got worse and worse, and she was forced to marry a strange hostage from another country...
Thinking of this, the just - awakened Feng Yunshu felt a darkness before her eyes and fainted again.
