Chapter 268 Back to the Starting Point
"It's all over!" Wang Xinyao sighed softly and looked at Zhao Haoxuan with gentle eyes.
She slowly said, "Brother Zhao, there are actually some details about this matter. Do you still remember that Sister Cui's father was Lord Gou's immediate superior?"
And as far as I knew at the time, before the appointment was made, Minister Gou and others seemed to have known that the position of prefect belonged to him.
Therefore, if you want to find out the truth, perhaps starting from this direction will yield some results."
Zhao Haoxuan nodded slightly, agreeing with Wang Xinyao's analysis, with a hint of gratitude on his face:
"Okay, Xinyao, thanks for the clues you provided. It's just that you have suffered so much injustice right now!" After saying that, he looked at Wang Xinyao with an apologetic look on his face.
Wang Xinyao smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and responded with deep affection in her eyes:
"Brother Zhao, I have never felt wronged for being able to go through all these ups and downs with you.
As long as you are by my side, truly loving me and protecting me, I will be willing to face any difficulties and obstacles."
Her voice is as gentle as the spring breeze, which makes people feel warm.
Then, Wang Xinyao seemed to have remembered something important, and her expression became a little anxious. She asked hurriedly:
"By the way, Brother Zhao, how is Sister Cui and Brother Zhou's marriage going? Has His Majesty agreed to grant them marriage?"
Zhao Haoxuan's face immediately showed a happy smile when he heard this:
"Haha, Xinyao, I have good news for you. In a few days, the third imperial edict from father should be delivered to Nanhu County."
"Within half a month, Miss Cui and Mr. Zhou will be able to return to Beijing to hold their wedding and have a happy marriage!" Zhao Haoxuan answered excitedly.
After hearing this exciting news, Wang Xinyao finally felt relieved.
She smiled particularly brightly: "That's great! Brother Zhou has been waiting for you for so many years, and now his hard work has finally paid off.
Sister Cui has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I believe they will live happily ever after, growing old together and becoming the enviable couple that everyone admires!
"Xinyao, we will grow old together!" Zhao Haoxuan looked at Wang Xinyao affectionately.
Wang Xinyao blushed slightly and continued, "Brother Zhao, a few days ago, Lord Yang took me to see the Second Prince's feet. Just as I guessed before, he was poisoned.
Fortunately, I asked Eunuch Xu to bring him some detoxification pills. Now the toxins in his body are almost completely eliminated. In another half a month, the Second Prince's feet will be completely healed!"
Zhao Haoxuan said indignantly. "Poisoning again! They are so cruel and outrageous!
Such despicable means are truly intolerable! Xinyao, this time it is thanks to your help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, and my royal brother would be crippled! "
At the same time, as the third imperial edict arrived in Nanhu County, Zhou Shen and Cui Yingying also began to pack their bags and prepare to embark on the journey back to Beijing.
This imperial edict was like a ray of light, illuminating their way forward.
Luo Qing and Ouyang Ping's wedding day is approaching and has been officially put on the agenda.
On the day of the wedding, the entire capital was immersed in a festive and joyous atmosphere.
The streets were decorated with lights and music was blaring; people flocked to the streets to witness this grand wedding.
Ouyang Ping, the daughter of the prime minister, got married to Luo Qing, the grandson of the emperor's uncle.
Such a marriage between people of equal social status undoubtedly demonstrated the prominent status and power of the dignitaries in the capital.
This wedding not only attracted many dignitaries to come and congratulate, but also became a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.
Dressed in a bright red groom's robe, Luo Qing rode a tall and mighty white horse in a heroic manner, moving slowly forward.
He walked with his head held high and chest puffed out, full of energy and confidence, as if he wanted to announce to the world his happiness and joy at the moment.
Back then, in order to get rid of this marriage, he disobeyed the emperor's order.
At that time, he just wanted to escape from this arranged marriage, as if it was a cage that could not be escaped.
Who could have expected that fate always likes to play tricks on people? After two years, everything seems to have returned to the starting point.
And the woman he was going to marry in the end was still Ouyang Ping, the woman he had tried every means to avoid.
As time passed, his state of mind had changed dramatically.
In the past, he regarded Ouyang Ping as a monster and tried to avoid her as much as possible;
But now, Ouyang Ping has transformed herself into the person he thinks about all the time.
More than one and a half months have passed since I returned to Beijing from Nanhu County.
Since parting with Ouyang Ping, the two of them have never met again.
As time went by, his longing for her continued to surge in his heart and became stronger and stronger.
So, on the way to the wedding, he rode his horse at full speed in a hurry, leaving the wedding party behind far behind.
At this moment, his mind and eyes were filled with only one thought: to get to her as soon as possible and see with his own eyes the person who had been haunting him so much!
However, things are often like this. The more anxious you are, the more likely it is that various unexpected situations will occur.
Because the horse was running at a very fast speed and the wind was howling, the hat that symbolized the groom's identity was blown away by the strong wind.
Seeing this, Luo Qing was shocked and hurriedly pulled the reins hard to stop the horse from moving forward.
But who knew that this sudden action almost caused him to fall down from the high horse's back in a mess.
Fortunately, after a lot of panic, he finally managed to stabilize his body.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Qing jumped off the horse and prepared to pick up the hat that was blown away by the wind.
But just as he landed on the ground, a hilarious scene happened. He accidentally stepped on the groom's suit he was wearing, lost his balance, and fell hard!
This funny scene immediately attracted a burst of laughter from the crowd around. Men, women, young and old were all laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
When Luo Qing struggled to climb back onto the horse and continued to move forward, the bad luck did not seem to be over.
Along the way, various unexpected situations occurred one after another.
First, a scream came from somewhere in the building, and then a silk handkerchief fell from the sky and hit him right on the face, completely blocking his vision.
Before he could tear off the annoying silk handkerchief, the horse was frightened and ran away, suddenly bumping into a wooden barrel that was transporting "filth" on the street.
There was a loud "bang" and the wooden barrel was smashed to pieces. The buckets of manure inside suddenly poured out, soaking Luo Qing from head to toe.
