The gongs and drums were loud and the scene was very lively. After the red veil was put on, Chu Heyi's vision was filled with red, which was very festive.

With the help of Nanny Rui and Baihua, she bid farewell to the elders and all the people who came to the wedding banquet, and then was carried on the back of her fourth brother and walked out of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The little brother Chu Lu, holding a red oil-paper umbrella, saw her out.

Xie Lin met her at the door. She couldn't see Xie Lin's face under the red veil, but only a pair of black brocade boots under his wedding gown.

These are Xie Lin’s feet. He is here to marry her.

The dreams of past and present lives have finally come true at this moment.

Fourth brother carried her to the wedding sedan and sat her down. Xie Lin came forward and held her hand. Chu Heyi found that his fingertips were a little cold, but his palms were a little hot with a slight sweat.

What are the major events in life?

At this moment, the noisy gongs and drums, the bustling voices, all faded away, and in front of him, there was only this person, the girl with whom he wanted to grow old, the one he wanted to take home.

Xie Lin's voice was hoarse, with deep affection coming from the bottom of his heart: "We are going home."

Since when did this scarlet figure become engraved in the depths of his heart, making him unable to let go? Even if he had to sacrifice his own life, he wanted to protect her for the rest of her life.

Was it the tears on her face when we first met?

Or was it because of her repeated and unreserved assistance to him and the Xie family later on?

Or maybe, it was what she said, the attachment from the previous life...

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

Chu Heyi was so nervous and happy that she could hardly breathe. She felt that Xie Lin was the same, otherwise the man who held her hand, who had gone through many battles, reached the pinnacle of power, and became the prime minister, would not have so much sweat on his palms. After he finished speaking, he still held her hand tightly, not knowing when to let go.

So Chu Heyi gently scratched his palm.

A slight itching sensation spread from the palm of his hand to the tip of his heart. A hint of surprise appeared in Xie Lin's eyes. He stared at the girl in red wedding dress in front of him, wanting to see her expression at this moment, but her face was covered by the red veil.

I wonder what expression she had when she scratched her palm.

A faint smile appeared on Xie Lin's lips involuntarily. He laughed "haha" and squeezed her hand hard before letting go and lowering the curtain.

He turned to the Marquis of Zhenbei and others, expressed his gratitude and made promises, then bowed, turned around, mounted his horse, and took his bride to Xie's house amid the noisy sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

Everyone in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, from top to bottom, watched the wedding procession leave. They were happy, but couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. They were reluctant to see Chu Heyi get married.

Almost everyone in Shengjing City was paying attention to this grand wedding, from the moment the dowry was carried to Xie Mansion, to Xie Lin going out to welcome the bride, to Chu Heyi getting on the wedding sedan... there were countless people watching from the sidelines, as if they were observing a grand event.

Among them were many spies from the Cheng Palace, and Dongfang Shuo and his wife were able to know the progress of their wedding at the first sight.

"The sedan chair from the Prime Minister's Mansion has just taken away the Princess of Cheng'an County." Yu Liang came to inform in person.

Runxue stood by the window, looking at the sky, and said, "It seems that we should also prepare to go out and attend the wedding banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Dongfang Shuo nodded slightly: "I have prepared the gift."

As a prince, it is perfectly normal to present a wedding gift to the prime minister and drink a glass of wedding wine from the prime minister.

Therefore, when they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver gifts and attend the wedding banquet, it would not cause too many thoughts from others.

Instead, everyone would think that Princess Cheng is a tolerant and generous person. Even though she had a falling out with Chu Heyi in the past, she still put aside the past and came to send wedding gifts to wish Chu Heyi and Xie Lin a happy marriage.

Of course, the people who paid attention to this wedding were not only King Cheng and his wife, but also many people in the palace.

Crown Prince Dongfang Ye sent Huai Wei out early in the morning to keep an eye on the progress of the wedding. Xie Lin had just taken Chu Heyi away, and the news was immediately delivered to Dongfang Ye.

When Dongfang Ye learned the news, he was in Princess Pingyang's palace. After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year, Princess Pingyang fell seriously ill. She no longer paid attention to external affairs and rarely went out.

Dongfang Ye is very busy and rarely comes to see her. He only came here because today is the wedding day of Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

Seeing Princess Pingyang lying listlessly on the couch, with a thin face and no longer as radiant as before, Dongfang Ye said, "Did you hear that Xie Lin and Chu Heyi are getting married today?"

Princess Pingyang glanced at him lazily and ignored him.

To this day, Dongfang Ye still doesn't know the relationship between Xie Lin and their siblings.

Princess Pingyang was heartbroken and didn't want to talk, while the Queen thought that there was no need for the Prince to know, so she hadn't told him the truth until now.

"That night, it was Xie Lin who plotted against you and Luo Su, and I have always kept this in mind. Don't worry, they are getting married today, and I will not let them have an easy time. As your brother, I will definitely avenge you!" Dongfang Ye vowed.

Princess Pingyang looked at him for a long time before she said listlessly, "Brother, you don't have to go. I don't remember what happened that night."

"You don't have to be so hopeless. If you don't want to marry Luo Su, I will find a way for you. As for Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, I will definitely take revenge on them, otherwise I will not be able to swallow this anger!"

How could he tolerate Xie Lin dealing with his sister and stealing her love?

Chu Heyi is blind. She refuses to marry him, the prince, and insists on choosing Xie Lin. How can he tolerate this?

He had to vent all this anger!

Princess Pingyang grabbed his hand and begged, "Brother, please don't worry about it anymore, okay? In the end, we will lose everything. Just consider it as my plea to you, don't go!"

Dongfang Ye just thought that his daughter was not strong enough and could not stand up after a little setback. In his heart, he still insisted on his own ideas, but he said: "Okay, okay, I promise you, you have a good rest, I will come to see you in a few days, the queen mother called me over, I don't know what's the matter."

After leaving Princess Pingyang's bedroom, Dongfang Ye went to Fengwu Palace to see the Queen. The wedding gift that the Queen had prepared for Chu Heyi was still there, so she asked Dongfang Ye to deliver it to Xie's house.

"Just say that this is my wedding gift to them, wishing them a son soon and a long and happy marriage." The queen's voice was extremely cold.

She thought that with all the court officials present at the wedding, Xie Lin and Chu Heyi would definitely not dare to refuse the Queen's gift.

Accepting her gift is equivalent to accepting the benefit she gives.

The last time the emperor was seriously ill but not dead, she had to make multiple preparations.

Dongfang Ye was planning to go to Xie's house to deliver a "gift". Now that the Queen asked him to go, he didn't need to find an excuse.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely get the job done!" He asked someone to take the gift and prepared to leave the palace.

Huang Gong looked at his back as he turned around. For some reason, she felt very nervous. She suddenly called out, "Ye'er?"

"Mother, do you have any other instructions?" Dongfang Ye stopped and looked at her. His eyes were bright and he looked very well-behaved. He had been like this for more than twenty years.

This is the son she has cherished and loved for many years. He has never let her down, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

"After you finish your work, return to the palace as soon as possible. Don't delay outside. Your mother is waiting for you to come home in the palace." The queen advised.

"Your son obeys your command, mother, don't worry."

Dongfang Ye turned and left. The queen stared at his back, feeling even more flustered.

At this moment, she had not yet realized that this would be the last time she would see Dongfang Ye in her life.
