On the other side, inside the bridal chamber.
Ever since she was brought into the bridal chamber, Han Yuxi had been quietly waiting for death. The last journey of her life without her loved ones was undoubtedly extremely painful for her. She only hoped that the poison would take effect as soon as possible and let her die. She should end this suffering as soon as possible!
But the actual situation often backfires. A quarter of an hour has passed, half an hour has passed, and even an hour has passed. Li Jingchu still feels no discomfort in her body. After more than an hour of mental torture, she is now completely exhausted physically and mentally. ! She couldn't help but begin to wonder, was there any poison in the two glasses of wine given by Princess Tong'an
After all, even if it is a chronic poison, it should take effect within an hour!
But if Princess Tongan had not poisoned her, what was the purpose of those words she just said when she visited the court? Is it just to scare her
In the midst of such exhausting torture, Li Jingchu gradually fell asleep!
"Squeak~!"
I don't know how long it took, but with a "squeak" sound, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Wang Renbiao walked in quickly from the outside.
Upon entering the house, Wang Renbiao saw Li Jingchu lying on her side on the bed, her eyes closed, her face haggard, and she didn't even take off her shoes. Instantly, Wang Renbiao thought of what he had said to Princess An when he entered the backyard:
"Cousin, you have married a good wife. Oh, you can tell her later that she should stop worrying. No one in this house will kill her!"
Wang Ren's expression suddenly changed. He walked quickly to the bed, picked up Li Jingchu with his eyes closed, and called out urgently: "Jingchu, Jingchu, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Wake up... ah !”
But when Wang Renbiao was shaking Li Jingchu, Li Jingchu suddenly opened his eyes. This surprised Wang Renbiao, who thought something had happened to Li Jingchu. He stared with a stunned expression on his face. Li Jingchu saw it and couldn't help it. The resident said: "Renbiao, what's wrong with you?"
As she spoke, she had broken free from Wang Renbiao's arms and sat up.
"Um... I just saw you looking haggard and thought you were sick, so I couldn't help but feel a little worried... "
Wang Renbiao was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know where to put his hands. He hesitated for a moment, made up a reason, and said.
"Oh! I was tired of waiting just now, so I accidentally fell asleep. Don't worry!"
It was rare to hear such "silly" words from Wang Renbiao. Li Jingchu didn't make fun of her, but couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. This is what it feels like to be cared for by a loved one!
"Sorry for keeping you waiting! I should have come earlier!"
Wang Renbiao took Li Jingchu's hand, looked at the delicate and slightly haggard face, and said softly.
"without!"
Li Jingchu shook her head and said: "There are so many guests in the house today, and you should have been with them in the front yard. According to the etiquette, doesn't every bride have to wait for the bride in the bridal chamber for several hours?"
"In my eyes, there are no etiquette or rules, as long as you don't suffer!"
Wang Renbiao squeezed Li Jingchu's hand and said seriously.
Suddenly, he remembered what Princess Tongan had just said to him, so he said seriously: "Jingchu, do you really feel no discomfort at all?"
"No...no? Renbiao, why do you ask so suddenly?"
Hearing Wang Renbiao mention this again, Li Jingchu's heart moved and she secretly thought that Wang Renbiao knew something, right? But she still said so.
Although she has not confirmed whether Princess Tong'an was poisoned in the wine, or what kind of poison she had, but no matter what, she did not intend to tell Wang Renbiao the inside story. Even if the wine was poisonous, she just wanted to be quiet. She didn't want Wang Renbiao and Princess Tong'an to turn against each other because of this, because without the support of the Wang family, Wang Renbiao's life would not be easy!
"I... I just met my mother outside the hospital. What she said was very strange. She told me that you were a good girl, and she also said that you should not worry about others. No one in this house will harm your life!"
Wang Renbiao hesitated for a moment before telling Li Jingchu the truth.
When Li Jingchu heard this, she was startled. She was originally a smart person. If she still couldn't understand after hearing Wang Renbiao's words, then she was no longer Li Jingchu!
Obviously, Princess Tong'an did not hide any poison in her wine. The reason why she said that when she visited the court was entirely to test whether Li Jingchu was sincere to Wang Renbiao and whether she was willing to die for Wang Renbiao in a critical moment!
Princess Tong'an's sentence "No one in this house will harm your life" is a double entendre. First, it means that she had no intention of harming Li Jingchu's life. This was just a test; second, it means that now If the test is passed, no one in the Wang family will hurt Li Jingchu again!
"That's it~!"
After figuring out all the details, Li Jingchu couldn't help but feel relieved. Although this test made her suffer physically and mentally, she didn't resent Princess Tong'an very much, because she understood that she could finally get together with Wang Renbiao. Princess Tong'an has made a big concession. After all, the Wang family is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. It is an unattainable and wealthy family in the eyes of ordinary people. As a mother, it is always right to wish her son well!
Moreover, going through this test also made Li Jingchu face her own heart. It turned out that in her mind, Wang Renbiao was so important to her, so important that she even risked her life to protect him!
"Jingchu, did you and my mother hide something from me?"
Seeing Li Jingchu's face relieved after hearing these words, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but ask.
"No! It's nothing! I'm just grateful to your mother for agreeing to let us be together!"
Li Jingchu shook her head and said with a smile.
After all the mysteries were solved, her previous worries were finally able to disappear! Now she can finally stay with the one she loves forever, and no one can stop them anymore!
"Thank you to my mother?"
Wang Renbiao gave a bitter smile, with some disapproval on his face, and thought to himself, you still don’t know that my mother almost sent someone to arrest you, right
"Jingchu, the reason why we can finally be together, I think we should be more grateful to Xiaoxuan! The reason why my father and my mother changed their attitudes was entirely because of a letter sent by Xiaoxuan!"
Wang Renbiao reached out and took Li Jingchu into his arms, sighing softly.
"Marquis Yong'an? A letter?"
Li Jingchu was startled, suddenly remembering that half a month ago she saw Princess Tong'an obstructing their marriage, and Wang Renbiao became sick with worry and was seriously ill in bed, so she wrote a letter asking Leng Yuyao to ask Leng Yuyao to help the governor Use the government channels to deliver the letter to Li Zexuan!
The letter that Wang Renbiao mentioned that changed Princess Tongan's attitude was probably Li Zexuan's reply after learning about the situation here!
"I also mentioned when I became the adopted sister of the Marquis. I think it was the Marquis who recognized me as his adopted sister in that letter, in order to persuade your father and your mother to agree to our marriage!"
Thinking of today's singing ceremony by Governor Shi, Li Jingchu suddenly realized something, she suddenly said.
"I guess that's how it must be!"
Wang Renbiao nodded thoughtfully and said.
"It's just that I don't understand. Even if Marquis Yong'an recognizes me as his adopted sister, he can't completely change the princess's attitude, right? After all, the Wang family is a thousand-year-old clan!"
Li Jingchu frowned and said doubtfully.
The relationship between an adopted brother and an adopted sister is obviously not as close as that of a biological brother and sister. If she were Li Zexuan's biological sister, Princess Tong'an might agree to their marriage, but she is only Li Zexuan's adopted sister, so I'm afraid it would be very difficult. Got it!
Wang Renbiao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's not completely impossible! Jingchu, first of all, you have underestimated the importance of Xiaoxuan in the eyes of us people from aristocratic families. You must know that the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling and the Zheng family of Xingyang How majestic and majestic were these three aristocratic families? But they were all indirectly destroyed in the hands of Xiaoxuan in the end. Although the aristocratic family has a deep foundation for thousands of years, it cannot compete with the imperial power! Although Xiaoxuan is only a prince now, he is in the eyes of the aristocratic family. The weight is no worse than that of a prince;
Secondly, I guess that Xiaoxuan probably promised some benefits to the Wang family in the letter to help us get married, or maybe he showed enough determination in his heart to facilitate our marriage, so that my father and I could get married. My mother is jealous of him. The family is in turmoil now. My father and my mother are not willing to offend a powerful prince with unlimited potential! Among them, maybe they can't bear to see me at all! That’s why we finally agreed to our marriage! "
Although the second item is just Wang Renbiao's guess, it has to be said that his guess is infinitely close to the truth!
Hearing this, Li Jingchu couldn't help but said: "At the beginning, I just wanted to ask Mr. Hou to help enlighten you and help you resolve your knot, but I didn't expect that Mr. Hou would actually do this for us. I am afraid that this friendship will last a lifetime. I can’t even pay it back!”
Wang Renbiao patted Li Jingchu's shoulder and said softly: "It's okay, I'll pay it back with you! Now that you and I are married, I also have a share of the favor you owe Xiaoxuan! By the way, when I visited the church earlier, Jingchu, you still called me husband, but why don’t you call me husband now?”
Having said this, Wang Renbiao suddenly spoke.
Li Jingchu's face instantly turned red when she heard this. She had learned that Princess Tong'an had poisoned her wine when she paid homage, and she thought she was about to leave Wang Renbiao. Before she died, she naturally had no scruples. Calling Wang Ren my husband, I don’t want to leave any regrets to myself!
But just now after Wang Renbiao came in and told her what Princess Tongan said, she knew that it was just a test. The wine was not poisonous and she would not die. In this case, how could she have the nerve to call her husband again?
"Husband...husband~!"
At this time, Li Jingchu realized that tonight was her and Wang Renbiao's wedding night. She bit her red lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally called out the word "husband."
Wang Renbiao immediately beamed with joy. He looked at Li Jingchu and said affectionately: "My lady~!"
After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly.
The flowers and candles in the bridal chamber are naturally full of tenderness and infinite scenery, and they are not worthy of being treated by outsiders!
