Chapter 147: Even the Feast Was Not Peaceful
"If they want to get married, they can go in any time, but they are not allowed to bring Chen Yunniang's dowry in."
The emperor knew that she wanted a divorce and was even willing to commit suicide to get it!
They are about to get divorced, so why would she care about Lu Ziqian remarrying?
She is not the kind of person who makes trouble. She must have her reasons for causing such a scene at the wedding.
The emperor frowned: "Why is that?"
"Your Majesty, there are things in her box that are harmful to our Daming Kingdom."
"I suspect this marriage is a conspiracy by the Southern Frontier Kingdom. They intend to use those things to control the entire Daming Kingdom."
Suddenly someone in the crowd screamed, "Could it be a Gu worm?"
"I heard that the Southern Frontier Kingdom is the best at using Gu."
"Oh my god, is the Southern Frontier Kingdom trying to use poisonous insects to turn us all into puppets?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people became agitated.
Su Yujiao glanced at the person who was leading the pace in the crowd. This person was too good at cooperation.
Then she saw Gu Heng behind the man, and Su Yujiao gave him a grateful look.
She was even distracted for a moment. What was Gu Heng's ending in the original book?
He never married in his life. In order to avenge her, he became the biggest villain, rescued her from Chen Yunniang, and dealt a fatal blow to the male and female protagonists. He fought with the male and female protagonists to the end and was eventually executed by slow slicing.
Although this is just a story in the book and it didn't really happen.
But Su Yujiao easily brought herself in and was very grateful to Gu Heng.
Lu Ziqian followed Su Yujiao's gaze and saw Gu Heng's affectionate eyes.
The man's face turned ashen with anger, but the situation didn't allow him to do anything. He could only move his body slightly to block the two people's gaze from meeting.
When the emperor heard that there might be poisonous insects hidden in Chen Yunniang's dowry, he felt sick.
Did Su really discover something?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to make a scene today!
Lu Ziqian suddenly knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please search the palace. This will not only prove the Saint's innocence, but also reassure the people."
Although he didn't know what Jiaojiao was making a fuss about, he had to cooperate unconditionally.
So that she wouldn't think he is not as considerate as Gu Heng!
As for whether the wedding would be ruined or not, he didn't care at all. It would be better if it was ruined.
Not to be outdone, Gu Heng stepped out from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, since this matter concerns the safety of the state, it is better to investigate it thoroughly."
As soon as Gu Heng knelt, the person who had been leading the movement also knelt, and the other people followed suit.
There's nothing wrong with kneeling down, and you can also watch the fun for free.
If the Southern Frontier Kingdom really has a conspiracy that concerns their safety, they will naturally not sit idly by.
Chen Yunniang looked at the scene where everyone was united, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
At this time, Nan Sheng and the wizard also came out, and Chen Yunniang seemed to have found her backbone.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"Although our Southern Frontier Nation is a small country, we will not allow others to bully us like this."
"Today's incident clearly shows someone deliberately sabotaging the marriage between the two countries and throwing dirty water on our Southern Frontier Nation."
"This Crown Prince represents the Southern Frontier Kingdom and acts with integrity. Naturally, I'm not afraid of your search. But if nothing is found in the end, shouldn't you also give the Southern Frontier Kingdom an explanation?"
Nan Sheng looked at Su Yujiao with a vicious look. Lu Ziqian immediately stood in front of Su Yujiao and looked at Nan Sheng with a warning look.
Su Yujiao pushed him away, looked directly at Nan Sheng, and said, "I was the one who started today's incident. I am solely responsible for my actions."
"If you find nothing, I'll give you my life."
"Jiaojiao, stop messing around!" Lu Ziqian roared.
How could she easily trade her life? Even if she was sure of what was in the dowry, wasn't she afraid of accidents?
What would she do if someone took advantage of the search to destroy the stolen goods and the body?
The emperor also frowned, thinking she was too reckless.
A talent who can control the plague is a blessing to their Daming country, so how could he bear to let her die.
The emperor came out to smooth things over: "On such a happy day, how can we shout about fighting and killing? Aren't we afraid of disturbing the newlyweds' fortune?"
"How about this, if nothing is found out in the end, let Su personally kneel down and admit his fault to the Saint."
"Also, grant the Saint Girl as your principal wife, and Su as your concubine."
"What do you think, Saint?"
The emperor asked Chen Yunniang directly because he didn't want Nan Sheng to interfere.
Anything that men get involved in can easily escalate into a war.
Women are different. They are easily soft-hearted and care about their reputation.
She couldn't give the impression of being vicious and murderous in front of everyone.
Chen Yunniang was in a dilemma. If there was no dragon robe in the box, she would naturally agree readily.
She dreamed of suppressing Su Yujiao and making her her concubine, and she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
But now there is a dragon robe hidden in the box. Once it is discovered, she will be doomed.
She didn't dare let the emperor's men search in public, but she couldn't refuse either, otherwise it would appear that she was guilty.
"Okay, then search. This Saint has done nothing wrong, so I'm not afraid of being searched."
"It's just that some people may have to wash their hands and become concubines."
Chen Yunniang spoke sarcastically, but in her heart she hoped that the Third Prince, who was hiding in the dark, could destroy the stolen goods as soon as possible.
The emperor asked again: "Su, do you still insist on searching?"
"If nothing is found, you will be demoted from wife to concubine?"
"Search!"
Su Yujiao couldn't help but sigh, no one can outsmart the emperor!
Even if nothing is found out in a short time, she will become a concubine in public. Once the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang is sent away and the Emperor issues the divorce decree, she will be free.
It was equivalent to no punishment at all, but today she was saved in front of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.
Lu Ziqian and Lu's parents-in-law were a little worried. They didn't want Jiaojiao to be a concubine.
Su Yujiao gave her mother-in-law a reassuring look. Even if the emperor did not show up, she would be fine.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to gamble my life just now!
Su Yujiao stared at the carriage loaded with exotic flowers and plants. Among them was a pot of flowers that was her life-saving flower. Even if she didn't find anything in the end, she could still make a big fuss about that pot of flowers.
As for the dragon robe, it might be destroyed or hidden by the third prince.
That's even better, as long as the dragon robe has nothing to do with the Lu family.
"Let's start investigating."
"Your Majesty, I suggest you send people to surround all the dowry carts to prevent anyone from moving or destroying the stolen goods. This will prevent them from entering the territory of Daming State and causing immeasurable losses."
Seeing her serious look, the emperor agreed.
Next, they searched each car one by one.
Wei Zhong brought chairs for the emperor and empress to sit on, while the commander of the imperial guards led the carriages one by one to the imperial court for inspection.
The tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils were checked quickly, and those that were in good condition were carried directly into the yard.
When checking food and medicine, I am more careful.
When they reached the flowers and plants, the searchers were too lazy to look at them, but were stopped by Su Yujiao.
"and many more."
As she shouted, everyone looked at her curiously, expecting her to discover something.
"Move that pot of flowers here."
She pointed to one of the pots of poppies.
"Doctor Zhou, do you recognize this pot of flowers?"
Doctor Zhou originally came to the banquet, but now he has become a quality inspector.
What a miserable life! I can’t even have a peaceful meal!
