Blood spurted out.
The headless corpse knelt there for a few breaths before falling to the ground.
On the wedding day, human heads are offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors.
The old minister who guards the tomb of the former emperor can be killed at will!
All the royal family members and ministers were terrified when they saw this scene.
Some young members of the royal family were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs became weak, and they could hardly stand.
"If anyone talks nonsense again, I will kill him without mercy!"
Nangong Huoyue said this coldly and walked into the imperial mausoleum with dignity.
Hundreds of silver-armored cavalrymen behind him all said in unison: "Yes!"
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and followed in silence.
Everyone in the Qin family and most of the ministers were left outside the imperial mausoleum and were not allowed to enter.
Apart from royal family members, only some meritorious old ministers were able to enter the imperial mausoleum to worship; no one else was qualified.
The imperial mausoleum is very large.
The royal family members surrounded Nangong Huoyue and Luo Qingzhou and walked for a long time before arriving in front of the mausoleum.
Along the way, everything was silent and no one dared to speak.
When we arrived in front of the mausoleum, still no one spoke.
Nangong Huoyue frowned, turned her head and looked at Prince Duan and said, "Uncle Prince Duan, you are the etiquette officer today, why don't you speak?"
Nangong Ke was frightened and quickly stepped forward, shouting, "Light the incense!"
The eunuch, who had already bathed and changed his clothes and had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and lit incense.
After all the incense sticks were burning and smoke was emitted, Nangong Ke immediately said, "Play music!"
At this moment, the sound of music immediately sounded.
Nangong Huoyue couldn't help but look at him and said, "Uncle Duan, you can say a few more words. I will pardon you."
Nangong Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pointed at the royal relatives behind her, and ordered majestically: "Everyone line up in order, stand in your positions, and prepare to kneel. Xiaoxin, you go to the back and stand behind your eldest brother. Changle, you stand in front and stand behind His Majesty... Thirteenth brother, you go to the front and let your daughter Meijiao stand here too..."
At this time, the sun had risen to the sky.
By the time all the tedious procedures were completed, the sun had already set in the west and it was almost evening.
When Nangong Huoyue knelt down to worship the late emperor, she suddenly changed from a majestic and powerful empress to a poor and wronged little girl.
Facing the tomb of the late emperor, with tears in her eyes, she whispered many words, but only Luo Qingzhou beside her heard it.
She apologized and explained to the late emperor, and expressed her grievances and longing for him.
"My daughter has always wanted to help him... Even at the end, my daughter never thought of killing him..."
"Father, this is not what my daughter meant..."
"My daughter has always been trying to prevent the suffering of the people of Da Yan, and has always been giving in..."
"But they are still pressing forward..."
By the end of the conversation, she was choking with sobs and could hardly speak.
Luo Qingzhou knelt with her, lowered his head, and listened quietly, feeling quite sad.
Being in an imperial family, you have no control over your own affairs.
Of course, her current situation was also caused by him.
At that moment, Luo Qingzhou's emotions were quite complicated. He knelt in front of the late emperor's tomb, thinking about killing his son and marrying his most beloved daughter today. He always felt that it was a bit cruel to this old man lying in the tomb.
Of course, he had no choice.
Therefore, he could only face the mausoleum and secretly say in his heart: I'm sorry, I killed your son, maybe it's a good thing for Da Yan. Emperor, you don't want your ancestral foundation to be ruined by your son, right? As for your most beloved daughter, Qingzhou... Feiyang promised that he would treat her well, even if she was just a concubine... Rest in peace.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but when he finished speaking in his heart, the cigarette in front of him was suddenly caught by a whirlwind and hit his face, as if the late emperor had spat at his face in anger.
Luo Qingzhou quickly added in his heart: Your Majesty, please calm down. I will definitely help you protect the Princess and Dayan.
After saying this, there was nothing unusual in front of him.
In the evening, the worship ended.
The crowd surrounded the empress and her groom, walked out of the imperial mausoleum and headed towards the Weiyang Palace.
The wedding took place in the Weiyang Palace, where there were many guests.
Nangong Huoyue’s bedroom is still in Yaohua Palace.
As for Nangong Yang's Yongyan Palace, it had long since turned into ruins. After the ruins were cleaned up, the site was turned into a garden. It is likely that no more palaces will be built there.
"Get going!"
Nangong Huoyue and Luo Qingzhou sat in the luxuriously decorated sedan chair.
The joyous music sounded again.
Nangong Huoyue's eyes were still red. She was dazed for a while, then suddenly turned her head and looked at him coldly, "Why aren't you crying? Don't you feel the same way I feel wronged?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said respectfully: "I do feel the same way, but men don't cry easily. I have actually cried in my heart."
"fraud!"
The resentment suddenly rose in Nangong Huoyue's eyes again, and she glared at him hatefully.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, looking at his feet, without looking away.
Nangong Huoyue stared at him for a while and said, "Do you think I am wronged?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I feel wronged."
Nangong Huoyue asked again: "Am I wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No."
Nangong Huoyue stared at him and said, "Then is it wrong for me to kill so many people?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "No."
After a pause, he continued, "Some people have to be killed. Otherwise, he alone may affect many people."
Nangong Huoyue's expression eased slightly, and she looked at him and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Should I answer that I am afraid, or should I answer that I am not afraid?"
Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell the truth!"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Afraid."
"snort!"
Nangong Huoyue snorted coldly and said, "You're right to be afraid. I'm the emperor. If you're not afraid, you'll have to ride on me in the future..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped, looked at him coldly and said, "Let me tell you first, don't even think about anything that would insult my royal dignity or my imperial power!"
Luo Qingzhou asked in confusion: "What does your majesty mean?"
Nangong Huoyue snorted coldly, her face icy, and ignored him.
Silence all the way.
When they were almost at Weiyang Palace, Nangong Huoyue lifted the curtain beside her, looked behind her, and said coldly: "Chu Feiyang, let me ask you a question."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please ask."
Nangong Huoyue lowered the curtains, looked at him and asked, "Who do you think is prettier, me or the Qin sisters?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course, Your Majesty is beautiful."
Nangong Huoyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, moved her hands in her sleeves, and asked again: "Then who do you think is prettier, Yueying Yuewu beside me, or the maids of the Qin family?"
Luo Qingzhou paused and said respectfully: "I don't know. I have never taken a serious look at Miss Yueying and Miss Yuewu, nor have I taken a serious look at those people from the Qin family."
Nangong Huoyue showed a hint of sarcasm on her lips and ignored him. She held the message in her sleeve and clicked send.
"Get off the sedan!"
As the sun was about to set, the people who had returned from paying homage to their ancestors finally returned to the Weiyang Palace.
Outside the palace, guests were already waiting.
Yuewu lifted the door curtain.
Luo Qingzhou helped the Queen of Dayan get off the sedan chair, and surrounded by the crowd, walked on the red carpet and entered the Weiyang Palace.
Palace maids on both sides scattered flower petals and musicians played music.
The ministers and guests all bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to His Majesty on your wedding! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long, long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Huoyue looked around majestically, then said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."
"Thank you very much!"
Everyone still bowed their heads, not daring to look up.
Luo Qingzhou, holding Nangong Huoyue's hand, walked slowly and majestically towards the main hall.
The main hall had already been decorated with festive atmosphere.
The palace maids and eunuchs inside were preparing the dinner in an orderly manner.
When the two of them reached the door, Prince Duan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we are about to go in and worship heaven and earth. Do you think you need to put on the red veil?"
Nangong Huoyue turned her head and looked at him, and said dignifiedly: "Can he wear it?"
Nangong Ge: “…”
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "It doesn't matter if your majesty doesn't want to wear it."
Nangong Huoyue hesitated for a moment, feeling the warmth in his palm, and then thought that someone was watching from behind. If she didn't cover her face when she worshipped heaven and earth later, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.
Thinking of this, she said coldly: "Put it on me."
Nangong Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuewu quickly took the red veil presented to her by the palace maid, stood on tiptoe, and carefully put it on her head.
"Your Majesty, be careful with the threshold."
Nangong Ke reminded.
Luo Qingzhou supported Nangong Huoyue, lifted his foot, stepped over the threshold, entered the hall, stepped on the soft red carpet, and walked inside.
After reaching the designated position, Nangong Ke hurriedly said, "Stop!"
Then he turned around and looked at the official from the Imperial Observatory behind him and said, "Master Shi, is it time yet?"
Mr. Shi held an instrument in his hand, observing while looking at the sky outside, and said, "Wait a moment."
Luo Qingzhou looked inside the hall. The Queen Mother Changsun was sitting silently on a chair without any smile on her face. When she saw him looking at her, she also looked at him, still with no expression on her face.
Changsun Wan'er stood beside him and nodded slightly at him.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze and looked at the person next to him.
Nangong Huoyue seemed to know that he was looking at her, and whispered, "Don't look around, it makes you look frivolous."
Luo Qingzhou immediately lowered his head and looked straight ahead.
Another moment passed.
The officials from the Imperial Observatory immediately put away the instruments in their hands and nodded to Prince Duan.
Prince Duan immediately said, "It's time!"
Then, music started.
Prince Duan immediately said, "Bride and groom, bow to heaven and earth!"
As soon as these words came out, one of the guests suddenly stepped out and shouted, "Wait a minute! I am..."
"stop!"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced through his throat!
Then, "Hush, hush, hush!", more sharp arrows flew towards him!
In a blink of an eye, his entire body was shot into a hedgehog, with no intact place on his body.
“Bang!”
He fell to the ground, his eyes open.
The silver-armored cavalrymen around all retracted their bows and arrows in unison with a "swish" sound.
Everyone was shocked.
The muscles on Prince Duan's face twitched a few times, and he quickly shouted again: "Bride and groom, bow to heaven and earth!"
This time, the entire palace was silent.
Luo Qingzhou held the hand of Queen Dayan, faced outside the door, knelt on the ground, and touched his forehead to the ground.
"Bow to your parents!"
Prince Duan immediately shouted again loudly.
Luo Qingzhou helped Queen Da Yan to stand up, turned around, walked slowly inside, stopped in front of the Queen Mother, and knelt down to pay homage.
There was still no expression on the Queen Mother's face. She looked at them coldly without saying anything.
The two men knelt on the ground, foreheads touching the ground, waiting quietly.
