Chapter 62 Wait for me! (1)
This was indeed not a good matter!
What Lin Qing didn’t expect was that Situ Ningan walked to his direction while everyone was looking!
Does this Situ Ningan want to bid goodbye to him? This was not as good as a joke!
Although, he had managed the palace for many years and all the personnel of all palace was taken care by him, but he and Situ Ningan’s relationship was definitely not good to this state. Moreover, from the reaction of the person behind him, it must be that she did something outside of his control that he was unaware about!
Forget it if it was something else. Even if she had offended the officials at court, he could protect her! However, if it was the imperial children…
When Lin Qing thought till here, cold sweat couldn’t help but appear…
At this time, Situ Ningan walked quickly to Lin Qing under the eyes of all court officials, the emperor, the empress and the Xiongnu envoys. Then, she pointed at Zhao Zimu behind him under the eyes of everyone and said, “You…are finally willing to come see me?”
The voice was not too loud but it wasn’t small. All the surrounding officials, eunuchs, court ladies, the emperor, the empress and the princes could hear her!
Not to mention that Lin Qing’s gaze was blank, no matter if it was the officials, court ladies or eunuchs, they were all shocked.
What kind of tone was this?
Sad, sense of loss and despair?
This man and woman; the man wore the uniform of the Prefecture of Arrest, presumably, he is someone from the Prefecture of Arrest. The woman is Great Liang’s princess! Besides, the princess is marrying today!
She used the kind of tone that one would use with a lover to speak to someone she was not about to get married to! Moreover, it was to an unknown guard! Furthermore, it was on the day that the Xiongnu came to fetch her!
This was a farce!
The Xiongnu were standing a bit further away and didn’t know what had happened. They saw that the princess walked in the direction of Great Liang’s emperor and empress. They thought that the princess was too sad to part with her family, was sorrowful and wanted to speak some more with them.
Chachar who was in charge of fetching the bride was very understanding. After all, a country’s princess was marrying to the remote grassland from the beautiful and prosperous Great Liang. Furthermore, she didn’t have family nor friends there. Moreover, it would be inconvenient to come back. Anyone would feel uneasy in their hearts.
Chachar looked at the sun in the sky. The time was about to pass. They couldn’t delay on like this!
Chachar stroked his beard and instructed the entourage next to him to let him go talk with the officer of rites and express their prince’s eagerness to marry the princess!
The entourage quickly ran to the officer of rites and told him about to situation. The officer of rites also didn’t dare to delay and planned to come forward to inquire. After all, he couldn’t afford to take responsibility if something goes wrong.
The officials who were close to Situ Ningan were shocked. Emperor Jinghui and the empress were also speechless, not to mention Zhao Zimu. What could she say? She had only seen Situ Ningan twice. Surely, this Situ Ningan is big trouble!
It was better that she married the soonest as possible!
What Situ Ningan said next made everyone feel like their head had been struck by thunder and their whole mind was blank. Emperor Jinghui’s face was ashen and the empress almost couldn’t stand.
Situ Ningan looked at Zhao Zimu with eyes glistering of teardrops and said, “I always thought about you since that day we last saw each other. You saved me. I want to repay you. I also wanted to see you. But why are you so heartless towards me? I used every way possible to let someone sent you. Why didn’t you come? Now, it’s too late to say anything…”
The moment Lin Qing heard that, a “boom” sound could be heard in his head and he knew that something bad was going to happen. He hurriedly stepped forward, curtsied and said eagerly, “Princess, speak cautiously! Today is your day of great joy!”
The surrounding officials felt that their mind couldn’t keep up. What did princess say on this important day that she would marry?
An affair with a man! This was ridiculous!
They had never seen such a farce and couldn’t help but feel that they couldn’t catch up.
The officer of rites happened to have just arrived and happened to hear this. He was dumbstruck and didn’t know what to do.
Emperor Jinghui’s lips trembled with anger. With a trembling hand he ordered someone to send Situ Ningan into the carriage.
Situ Ningan refused to give up. She struggled, cried and said to emperor Jinghui, “Emperor father, I don’t want to marry! The person I like is him! I beg you to help me!”
The shouting was so heartbreaking. The voice was so loud this time that everyone could hear it. Even the Xiongnu envoys that came to fetch the bride had heard some. Furthermore, Chachar had better ears. His face immediately darkened and there was a faint anger in his eyes!
Their prince was actually going to marry this kind of princess!
Situ Yuanxiao was the one to rush forward first and knocked Situ Ningan out with the handle of a dagger. Then, he let people quickly sent her to the Xiongnu envoys. The officer of rites reacted and immediately ordered the people to help the princess in the direction of the envoys that came to fetch the bride. Then, he faced the gaze of the emperor, the empress and the hundreds of officials that was like a giant mountain. In spite of his complicated official robe, he ran in a sorry state to Chachar. He knew that if he doesn’t handle today’s matter well he could just take off his robe and go home to be a farmer!
After he ran to Chachar, he said in a sorry state, respectfully and apologetic to Chachar, “This general, our princess is presumably very reluctant to part with our emperor and empress. Moreover, she had been preparing these few days, day and night to marry to the Xiongnu. Her body is overwhelmed and she felt unwell. For the relation between our two countries, I ask general to be understanding!”
Chachar expression was gloomy and dark. He knew that the person in front of him was talking nonsense, but he had to accept this excuse. So, he cupped his hands at this officer and said, “Sir is too polite. Since it is like this, how can I not be understanding?”
