Chapter 573: The Person I Love Deeply Is Si Mobai
She wanted to express how much she liked Wu Yuan. She wanted to tell Feng Tianlan how good Wu Yuan was. She wanted to tell her how lucky she felt to have a friend like her. There were too many things that she wanted to say, including the littlest of things.
The bridesmaid was urging her at the side, telling her that the bride could not speak when she was getting into the palanquin. There would be a lot of chances for her to speak in the future. She just had to bear it for today and not speak so much, as it would be ominous.
Gu Nansheng didn’t insist. But she was just nervous, therefore she wanted to talk. Since such a rule existed, she must suppress herself in order for her wedding to be auspicious and everything to be smooth for the rest of her life. Besides, she wasn’t too far away from the palanquin. It would be hard for her to embarrass herself along the way.
It was the first time for the people of Beiqi Nation and the Evanesce City to form an alliance through marriage, therefore the wedding was very grand.
When Gu Nansheng reached the staircase of the Zhenghe Palace, the Beiqi Queen Mother, the Beiqi Emperor, Gu Yun and the other ministers were there waiting for her. At the bottom of the staircase, Wu Yuan who was originally dressed in black was wearing a red robe. The only difference was that his face was still stiffened up. There wasn’t any expression on his face.
Wu Qi, on the other hand, was dressed in green and red, like a parrot. He had been staring at Gu Nansheng ever since she walked out.
After a bunch of ceremonies, half an hour had passed.
“I wish eldest sister and brother-in-law a good relationship for the rest of your lives, and to have a baby soon.” It was rare to see Gu Yun dressed in vivid green. She looked at Gu Nansheng whose head was covered with a red veil, then leaned forward and hugged her. She then said in a voice loud enough to be heard by the people around her, “I also wish that eldest sister will maintain a good relationship with Miss Feng, and that the two of you will have the chance to share one husband, since the person that Master Wu likes is Miss Feng.”
After those words, the Beiqi Queen Mother and the Beiqi Emperor stiffened. Their expression changed as they looked at Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan just frowned slightly as she stood up straight and let them look at her uprightly. Her conversations with Wu Yuan were lesser than less. How was it possible for Gu Yun to instigate things?
Gu Nansheng stiffened up as well. However, she returned to normal in a blink of an eye. “I’m far better compared to you. I don’t have to pretend to be someone else and get nothing from it. Gu Yun, no matter who you are, your outcome will be just like Tu Xiupei’s.”
After saying those words, she pushed Gu Yun aside. If not for the fact that it was an important occasion, she would have pushed her away long ago.
“Mother, brother.” Gu Nansheng turned around and looked at them through her veil. She then said in a serious tone, “The luckiest thing that has happened to Sheng’er is having a friend like Feng Tianlan. From now on, no matter what happens, please stand on Tianlan’s side. Believe her and help her. Do not seek revenge after listening to those despicable people.”
The Beiqi Queen Mother and the Beiqi Emperor looked at the upright Feng Tianlan, then looked at Gu Nansheng again. They gave in to her request.
After seeing how her instigation failed, Gu Yun sneered. She wanted to see how long such trust could last!
To avoid suspicion, Feng Tianlan changed into men’s clothing. Wu Qi and her each rode a horse respectively while following behind the palanquin. In front of the palanquin was the bridegroom, Wu Yuan. As it was a long journey, she got onto a decorated cart right after they left the palace.
Wu Qi kept staring at Gu Nansheng, who could be seen when the curtains of the cart shook from time to time.
“Feng Tianlan.”
Feng Tianlan looked at him. “What’s the matter?”
“Let’s hijack this wedding.” Seeing that Feng Tianlan was ignoring him, he went and rode by her side. “You’ll take my brother while I take the princess. This way, it’ll be the perfect ending for everyone…”
Feng Tianlan interrupted him coldly, “I have a fiancé. There’s someone whom I love deeply, and it’s Si Mobai, the Demon King.”
