After seeing that Jing Xunchè stopped talking, Mù Fēngqié looked up at the newlyweds in front. In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to marry Jing Xunchè. It was just that she felt there was still something missing between them.
So she never brought up the matter. She thought that when she figured it out, they could discuss the marriage.
Watching the two people on the high platform about to pay homage to heaven and earth, Mù Fēngqié quietly tightened her grip on Jing Xunchè's hand.
"Pay homage to each other as husband and wife!"
The King of Wén and the Queen of the Xuělíng Kingdom slowly turned around. Amid the blessings of the people around them, they looked into each other's eyes and bowed in salute.
"Wait a minute!" A sudden voice interrupted their salute.
The Queen of the Xuělíng Kingdom looked around impatiently. Who on earth was this daring enough to cause trouble at her wedding? Didn't they want to live anymore?
When the King of Wén heard this voice, his body stiffened. How did she come here? Hadn't he sent someone to watch over her?
"Wait a minute, Brother Wén. Are you really going to marry this woman?" A delicate woman in a pink and white dress walked over. Although this woman was beautiful, when the wind blew, one could clearly see a scar on her forehead, which obviously had been there for some years.
"How did you get here? This is not the place for you to make trouble. Go back immediately!" the King of Wén scolded. Damn it, who on earth had told her the news?
"I'm not going back!" the pink - dressed woman shouted with tears streaming down her face, "I just want to know if you're really going to marry this woman today?"
The woman's stubbornness left the King of Wén with no choice but to admit, "Yes, she is the Queen of the Xuělíng Kingdom. After we get married, we'll set off for the Xuělíng Kingdom and will never come back."
"What... did you say?" The woman couldn't believe what she was hearing. Clearly, he had promised to marry her. Why had things turned out like this?
"Are you kidding me? Brother Wén, this isn't funny at all." The pink - dressed woman couldn't help but take a step back. Even though the King of Wén had said so, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that all of this was not true.
Unfortunately, all of this was just her fantasy, and her fantasy was directly shattered, and the person who shattered it was none other than the King of Wén, the man she loved the most.
"What you see is the truth. I've already paid homage to the Queen of the Xuělíng Kingdom. From now on, she and I will be true husband and wife." The King of Wén said each word slowly, but no one noticed the trembling hand behind his back.
He couldn't let Ān'ér get involved. This was his own path. Once he succeeded, he would explain everything to her properly. Ān'ér, you must wait for me.
After hearing the King of Wén's words, Ān'ér staggered. She laughed self - deprecatingly. After taking one last look at the King of Wén, she wiped the tears from her face forcefully.
"In that case, I've disturbed you. From now on, I won't appear in front of you again. I wish you two a happy wedding, a harmonious marriage for a hundred years, and many descendants." With each word, Ān'ér's heart ached more. She never thought that the man she trusted so much would betray her.
The King of Wén watched Ān'ér's departing back and wanted to chase after her, but was pulled back by the Queen of the Xuělíng Kingdom. "You should be clear that this is my wedding. If there are any more accidents, I can't guarantee the safety of that woman."
The King of Wén gave the Queen of the Xuělíng Kingdom a cold look and then turned around to continue the unfinished ceremony.
The guests in the courtyard glanced at each other, but tacitly didn't discuss the matter. They all happily congratulated the King of Wén.
Mù Fēngqié looked around, motioned to Jing Xunchè, and then quietly slipped out.
After leaving the Prince Wén's Mansion, Ān'ér walked aimlessly on the street. She had known the King of Wén since childhood, but their social statuses were too different. Originally, she never dared to have such thoughts, as it was unrealistic.
However, this opportunity was given to her by the King of Wén himself. She remembered the happy times they had together. She never minded that the King of Wén had other women. Before, she only hoped to become his concubine.
But it was the King of Wén who promised her the position of the main wife. At that time, she was thirteen. When she came of age, she hinted to the King of Wén to marry her, but he said her health was poor and asked her to take care of herself for a few more years. He would wait for her.
But what was the final result? What had she waited for? He had married another woman, and she was the last one to know. If she hadn't suddenly wanted to go out for a stroll today, she might have been kept in the dark by him forever.
Why? Why did he, the King of Wén, do this? Ān'ér's face gradually turned pale, and her legs became weak. She was in a daze, thinking about her past with the King of Wén. Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore, vomited blood, and fainted.
When Mù Fēngqié caught up, she saw Ān'ér collapse. Without hesitation, she immediately sent someone to take her back to the mansion. This woman's relationship with the King of Wén must be extraordinary.
The King of Wén had clearly been unsettled when he saw her at the wedding.
By the time Mù Fēngqié returned, the wedding was over, and it was time to toast the guests. Mù Fēngqié quietly slipped in while everyone wasn't paying attention.
"How is it?" Jing Xunchè asked.
"She fainted due to extreme anger and excessive grief, but I've already sent someone to take her back to the mansion." Mù Fēngqié took a sip of tea to calm herself down.
"Yeah, this woman's relationship with the King of Wén is not simple. Maybe we can learn something about the King of Wén from her." Jing Xunchè said.
Mù Fēngqié looked at Jing Xunchè and whispered, "Do you have any way to make that woman talk?" Anyway, she hadn't come up with a way yet.
"I haven't thought of one for the moment, but this matter isn't urgent. We can investigate after we return from the Kingdom of Kǎ'ěrshì." Jing Xunchè looked around and whispered in Mù Fēngqié's ear.
Mù Fēngqié nodded to show that she understood. As soon as she looked up, she saw the King of the Grassland staring at them intently from the opposite table, which gave her a fright.
"Does this King of the Grassland have some kind of problem?" Mù Fēngqié patted her chest and said.
Jing Xunchè glanced at the King of the Grassland and said, "If I hadn't seen him today, I would have forgotten about him. After we leave tomorrow, this King of the Grassland won't be easy to deal with. I'm afraid that if he discovers something, it will cause us trouble." Jing Xunchè frowned.
He had actually forgotten about this person.
"Don't forget that the grassland tribes are waiting for him to go back and sort things out. And hasn't Tūlè Hàoqié already taken action against the grassland tribes? If he acts rashly, we'll expose this matter."
