Chapter 146 There is something terrible in the box
"Madam, wake up."
"Wake up quickly."
Su Yujiao opened her eyes with difficulty amidst the shaking, and saw many images of Wei Yingzi gradually overlapping.
Seeing that she was still not fully conscious, Wei Yingzi suddenly covered her mouth and nose to prevent her from breathing.
Almost in an instant, her instinct for survival made her wake up instantly and she was no longer sleepy at all.
"I had to take the necessary action in an emergency. I deserve to die." Wei Yingzi immediately knelt down and apologized.
Su Yujiao regained consciousness and reached out to help her up: "Has the bridal sedan arrived?"
"What time is it?"
"How did you get in?"
Wei Yingzi said succinctly, "When I arrived, the wedding procession had already reached the entrance of the alley. I'm afraid they've already reached the gate by now."
"I saw someone guarding your door, and Xiaotao said you might be in danger, so I climbed in through the window."
"Hu Zi, Shi Tou and the others are all at the back door, ready to take orders from Madam at any time."
"You did very well."
"Go and guard the study door. If anyone goes in to hide anything, catch them immediately."
"Yes."
As the two were talking, the festive sounds of firecrackers and suona were heard at the gate.
"Go quickly."
There is no time to deploy. The situation is urgent and we can only improvise.
It was impossible for a weak woman like her to stop the wedding procession. Not to mention Lu Ziqian, any maid with a little strength could drag her away.
She was too weak, so she had to find something intimidating to keep everyone away.
Su Yujiao climbed out of the window and went to a deserted yard in the backyard, where she tinkered with gunpowder and various elixirs.
She remembered that there was still some black powder left from the previous preparation, which would surely shock everyone.
After Su Yujiao found the thing, she laid some wires and made some arrangements, then went to the back door to call Hu Zi and Shi Tou.
"Huzi, you stay here and guard."
"Shi Tou, go to the front door and listen to my orders."
"When I say blow it up, you come over and tell Hu Zi to blow up that dilapidated woodshed so that the people outside can see the power of gunpowder."
"Yes."
Just as Su Yujiao finished her instructions, the matchmaker's loud and clear voice rang out from the gate: "Welcome the newlyweds in."
Su Yujiao immediately took a gunpowder bag and a fire starter and went to the front door, blocking Lu Ziqian and Chen Yunniang: "Don't come in!"
Lu Ziqian looked at what was in Su Yujiao's hand and his pupils shrank in fear. This was gunpowder. How could Jiaojiao hold such a dangerous thing?
"Jiaojiao, stop messing around, get out of the way."
"The emperor and the empress are here today. This is not the time for you to act recklessly and willfully." Lu Ziqian scolded anxiously.
Su Yujiao said to Lu Ziqian, "I'm saving you, idiot."
"Be careful not to let anyone shoot me in the back."
Su Yujiao was also afraid, afraid that a cold arrow would shoot at her and her life and the lives of these cannon fodder would be over.
When Lu Ziqian heard this, he immediately became alert, and Mo Shu and Mo Hua in the dark also looked around warily.
The emperor and empress sat at the top of the hall, Zhou and Lu Jingming sat at the bottom, and opposite them sat the crown prince of Southern Xinjiang and the wizard.
Several people were "joyfully" waiting for the bride and groom to come in and get married, but after waiting for a while, no one came in. Instead, housekeeper Wang came hurriedly and whispered a few words in Lu Jingming's ear.
Lu Jingming's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there was a small accident at the door. I will be back soon."
Zhou didn't hear what Butler Wang said, but seeing her husband's anxious look, she also apologized and left.
The queen felt inexplicably uneasy when she saw her brother and sister-in-law's panicked expressions.
She whispered to Aunt Yu, "Go and take a look."
The emperor was also curious, so he winked at Wei Zhong.
Nan Sheng naturally wanted to join in the fun.
Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, Su Yujiao said, "You two can go in and get married, but her dowry is not allowed to enter."
"Nonsense!"
"Su, today is not the day for you to act recklessly!" Lu Jingming shouted.
"Put your things down quickly."
Zhou was almost crying: "Jiaojiao, put the things down quickly, it's dangerous!"
"The Emperor and Empress are here today. If you continue to act recklessly, no one will be able to save you."
"Father and Mother, I don't want to stop this marriage. I won't stop them from going in, but the people and belongings behind them are not allowed to be carried into the General's Mansion."
Zhou was puzzled: "Why is this?"
"Her trousseau chest contained horrible things."
Chen Yunniang's face changed. Fortunately, she was covered with a veil, otherwise she would definitely be exposed.
Lu Jingming became more alert: "What's so scary?"
"You'll find out if you search."
"How dare you!" Chen Yunniang suddenly lifted up her red veil, her face turning ashen with anger.
"Su Yujiao, today is my wedding day, and you have to humiliate me like this?"
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but this is no excuse for you to act recklessly."
"You can search my dowry whenever you want and stop me whenever you want?"
"Even if you don't take me seriously, you should take the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom seriously."
"I am now the Saint of the Southern Frontier Kingdom. Is this how you, the Daming Kingdom, treat guests?"
Chen Yunniang spoke in a menacing and condescending manner.
"Are you feeling guilty?"
"If there's nothing in there that you can't reveal, why don't you dare let me search it?"
Chen Yunniang sneered: "If you ask me to search, I will search. Who do you think you are?"
"It's not your turn to give orders to this Saint."
"Today we're searching for dowries, and tomorrow we're setting the rules. Do you think this Saint is going to be led around by the nose by you?"
"If the Lu family doesn't like this Saint Girl, then this marriage won't happen."
"This saint will never be humiliated." Chen Yunniang turned and left.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Zhou was extremely anxious. Lu Jingming directly ordered Su Yujiao to be arrested and not allowed to make trouble again.
"Whoever dares to come here, I don't mind dying with you."
"Don't move, I'm holding gunpowder, be careful or I'll blow you to pieces."
"Stone, let them see the power of explosives."
"Yes."
The onlookers didn't know who the stone was, nor what gunpowder was. They only heard a response from the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar was heard from the Lu family's backyard, scaring everyone so much that they ran away with their heads in their hands and screaming.
After the explosion, the guards and security guards who were about to rush forward to grab the explosives silently took a few steps back, staring at her vigilantly, and no one dared to approach.
"What happened?"
The emperor's majestic voice sounded behind Su Yujiao.
Everyone quickly knelt down, and the onlookers, seeing the man in bright yellow, also knelt down and shouted "Long live the king" three times.
Su Yujiao habitually wanted to kneel down, but she didn't dare to do so. She was afraid that if she moved, the guards would take the opportunity to catch her.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to pay my respects to you."
"I didn't mean to cause a scene at the wedding, nor was I jealous. You should know that I no longer care."
