(For the parallel world extra, just substitute Su Yu and Zhao Ce in the main text.)
——If Zhao Ce is reborn into the original plot——
The headache after the hangover made Zhao Ce frown unconsciously. He sat up on the bed. He pinched his brows and remembered that he drank a lot yesterday.
Today is the first day of his marriage to Su Yu.
However, the bed beside him was cold, with no trace of the second person's presence.
"Someone's coming."
The servant came in carrying washing things: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ce pinched his eyebrows to relieve his headache and asked casually: "Where is the princess?"
The servant was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
What princess? Where did the princess come from?
Zhao Ce frowned and said impatiently: "Are you mute?"
The servant's heart skipped a beat and he knelt down quickly: "My lord, I forgive you, but..." He raised his head carefully and said, "May I ask your lord, who is the princess?"
The air was quiet for a moment.
Zhao Ce frowned fiercely, as if he heard some incredible question.
After a cup of tea, he managed to understand the situation and asked with difficulty: "You mean, I'm not married yet?"
The servant nodded cautiously.
If he hadn't been sure that he had memories of Su Yu in his mind, Zhao Ce would have almost suspected that everything he had experienced before was just a dream, or was he dreaming now?
"You go down first, I want to be quiet for a while."
The servant quickly got up and left. Before going out, he suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Miss Su has something to talk to Your Majesty about. She is waiting in the front hall now."
These three words of Miss Su made Zhao Ce's nerves tremble.
"I understand, I will go there now."
Zhao Ce's mind is very confused. He has never been so confused. Is Miss Su Su Yu?
He remembered that they were obviously married, but they were still lying on the wedding bed last night. Su Yu said uncomfortably that the wedding bed was too cold. When she opened the quilt, she saw that a lotus seed that had slipped through the net pressed a small hole in her back. nest.
After washing up as quickly as possible, Zhao Ce rushed to the front hall without stopping.
Hearing the noise, the people inside looked up.
"Why is it you?!" Zhao Ce was stunned.
How could it be Su Lingyu?
Su Lingyu was stunned and looked at him strangely, not understanding why he asked this.
"Who does the prince think he is?"
None of the serving servants expressed the slightest surprise at Su Lingyu's appearance. It seemed that she was supposed to be here.
After Zhao Ce's initial gaffe, he immediately returned to normal and said calmly: "Nothing? What do you want from me?"
Su Lingyu didn't go into details and simply told her about Prince An asking her to steal the seal.
The more Zhao Ce listened, the stranger his expression became. These things had clearly happened before.
"The king knows."
Su Lingyu nodded, seeing that he didn't care, thinking that this incident would not have any impact on him.
After sitting for a while, Su Lingyu said goodbye. She still needed to keep an eye on Wuweizhai.
"Wait a minute." Zhao Ce stopped her, remembering that she was also from Sujia Village, and asked, "Do you know a woman named Su Yu?"
Su Lingyu paused, and a very beautiful face came to mind. Was it the Su Yu she thought of?
"Why does the prince ask this?"
Zhao Ce said succinctly: "Looking for someone."
Su Lingyu thought about it for a moment and said, "There was one in the village I stayed in before, but...she has never been to the capital."
The implication may not be the same person he is looking for.
Su Lingyu remembered that before she came to the capital, there was a rumor in the village that Su Yu's parents wanted to marry her to the town's moneyman as a second marriage. Counting the time, she would be getting married in a few days.
In ancient times, there were too many women who couldn't help themselves.
Su Lingyu sighed, feeling sad for Su Yu's experience and confused about her future.
Zhao Ce's hand holding the teacup suddenly became tense, and his veins popped out. He suppressed his emotions forcefully and continued to ask, "Is her father's name Su Dayou?"
Su Lingyu was stunned: "How does the prince know?"
Zhao Ce did not answer, and waved her away, "I know, please go down first."
After Su Lingyu left, Zhao Ce called the housekeeper and revealed Su Lingyu's identity in a few words. She was actually brought to the capital by him as his savior.
Hearing this, Zhao Ce felt ridiculous, how could it be her?
No, it was supposed to be her.
But what about Su Yu? Why didn't she show up, and why didn't she admit that she was the wrong savior?
Zhao Ce couldn't tell which one was real.
"By the way." Zhao Ce suddenly thought of someone, "Where is Chunmei?"
It was impossible for the housekeeper to remember every servant's name, but he did have some impression of Chunmei.
I don't know why the prince wants to ask her, and the housekeeper doesn't dare to ask, so he can only answer honestly: "She is waiting in Miss Su's yard."
At this time, Chunmei was racking her brains to think about how she could be transferred to Su Lingyu to serve her closely, hold her on Miss Su's lap, and become a powerful maid in the future.
…
Sujia Village.
Su Yu was getting married in three days. She burst into tears when she thought of Qian Yuanwai's age and fat belly that could not be restrained by his belt.
"Dad, I don't want to get married."
Su Dayou glared at her: "Be obedient, dad is doing this for your own good. Mr. Qian's wife's family is the richest in the town. After you get married, you won't have to worry about food and drink. You will have maids to take care of you, and you can also help the family. How great."
Su Yu wanted to say something more: "But..."
Su Dayou became impatient: "Go, go, go and talk to your mother if you have nothing to do. I have something else to do."
Su Dayou's so-called occupation was squatting in front of the betrothal gift box and touching the valuables inside one by one.
Su Yu: "...Oh."
As soon as she walked out of the yard, a head suddenly appeared on the wall next door and called her softly: "Sister Ayu."
The two quietly came to a hidden place.
The man opposite is Su Yu's neighbor brother, also surnamed Su. He has already been admitted as a scholar and admires Su Yu wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, his family is poor and he has no ability himself. He took the exam several times but failed. Su Dayou was unwilling. Marry your daughter to him.
"Sister Ayu, let's run away. If you don't want to get married, I'll take you away. Let's go to a place where no one knows. It's just the two of us. No one will force you to do something you don't want to do. I will take good care of you. of."
Su Yu looked at him with a tangled face.
Although she is indeed unwilling to marry Qian Yuanwai, it does not mean that she is willing to marry Su Xiucai.
"Sister Ayu, this is your last chance."
Su Yu was shaken by Su Xiucai's persuasion, and then...
Didn't run away.
Under the moonlight, Su Xiucai's leg was almost broken by Su Dayou. His luggage was scattered all over the floor, including clothes, books, useless gadgets, and a pitiful amount of broken silver.
"If you dare to elope with my daughter with so little money, I'll beat you to death! You poor scholar, you're the one who cheated on me! I'll beat you to death!"
Su Yu was as helpless as a 200-pound child huddled in her mother's arms. She weakly grabbed Su Dayou's clothes and said, "Dad, please stop fighting. I will get married obediently."
Su Xiucai looked touched: "Ayu, don't worry, I know your thoughts and I will never give up."
Su Dayou beat him harder.
Su Yu: "..." Brother, if you say anything else, you will really be beaten to death.
The news of Su Yu's escape from marriage was originally known only to her family and Su Xiucai's family, but Su Xiucai was beaten so hard that his mother couldn't bear it anymore and made the matter worse, which reached the ears of the town clerk.
Officer Qian was furious and immediately sent people to guard Su Yu's house to ensure that he could successfully marry the little beauty.
Three days flew by.
Su Yu was tied up and stuffed into a sedan chair because she had a criminal record. Su Dayou and Qian Yuanwai did not believe that she would really marry well.
The soft red silk cloth tightly tied Su Yu's hands behind her back. Under the red hijab, her mouth was also gagged and she couldn't make a sound. Su Yu tried to struggle but her wrists were scratched by the silk cloth. The pain made her cry. Wangwang didn't struggle to get away.
The sedan chair fell down, and the bride was pushed out of the sedan chair by Po Xi.
No one had the slightest objection to the bride's hands tied behind her back, and they all happily congratulated Mr. Qian on marrying such a beautiful bride.
With the sound of suona and the blast of firecrackers, the scene was very lively.
"Worship the heaven and the earth——"
Su Yu was held down by Xi Po and bent over.
"Two bows to the high hall——"
There has long been no high hall outside the Qian Yuan, but the memorial tablets of ancestors are placed above.
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
This time something unexpected happened. No matter how hard Xi Po tried, Su Yu was unwilling to bend down, and the scene was still for a few seconds.
Officer Qian couldn't help but wink at Po Xi.
Xipo's eyes widened, she rolled up her sleeves and planned to be cruel, and said roundly: "The bride is shy, don't worry about it, I'll persuade her."
Po Xi's so-called persuasion was to call several maids to hold Su Yu down with her.
The person who was close to the door suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves and the clanking sound of armored soldiers marching. He felt the ground shaking in a daze, and the sound was quickly covered by the sound of the suona. He just thought it was an illusion and continued with relish. Watch the fun.
When Zhao Ce saw the red wedding sedan outside the door of Qian's Mansion, his heart skipped a beat, as if something was clenching tightly, and it hurt to breathe.
"Bride, you're already married. There's no point in struggling anymore. You'd better hurry up and be obedient and go to court with your husband. Otherwise, I'll have to use force. It won't be good if you're injured because you have such delicate skin and tender flesh. It’s also unlucky to see blood on your wedding day, right?”
Xipo's threatening voice came outside the door.
Zhao Ce's face was gloomy, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he came a moment later.
Xipo and several maids forced Su Yu to worship.
Suddenly, a sword passed by the tip of Xipo's nose with a clanking sound. There was a trace of blood on the sword body, and it penetrated straight into the tablet on the table. It penetrated deeply and almost split the tablet in half. The overwhelming residual power trembled slightly.
"Click——"
Under everyone's horrified eyes, the tablet finally couldn't bear it and broke into pieces.
"Let me see who dares!"
Zhao Ce's eyes were cold as he slowly walked into the wedding hall. Everyone present was shocked by his intimidating aura and unconsciously parted to make way for him.
Everyone heard the sound of the jade armor, and the well-trained guards quickly surrounded the Qian Mansion, so that not a single mosquito could fly out.
Xipo covered her nose and howled in pain. Her legs were weak from the fright of the sword, and the little maid next to her also screamed and scattered.
Qian Yuanwai looked at the broken memorial tablet of his ancestor with heartache, and glared at Zhao Ce. As soon as he glared at it, he was frightened by his light but intimidating eyes and his eyes averted.
Steady and powerful footsteps approached slowly.
Zhao Ce unceremoniously stretched out his hand to pull the bride into his arms, and raised his hand to lift her hijab.
Finally, Officer Qian couldn't bear it anymore: "Stop! Who are you? Who allowed you to break in without permission..."
The questioning stopped suddenly because a sword was placed across his neck.
The secret guard exerted a slight force on his wrist, and the cold blade of the sword pressed against his neck. Qian Yuanwai could not control his legs and almost fell to his knees.
In just a few seconds, the red hijab was lifted.
Under the red hijab, the little girl had tearful eyes, her mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth, and she raised her head with red eyes, looking at the man who suddenly broke in with a particularly helpless and pitiful look.
Zhao Ce's heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and it hurt like ants gnawing at him.
He raised his hand to take away the cloth from Su Yu's mouth, cut the red silk binding her wrists, and pulled her into his arms sadly: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Su Yu didn't know why, but when she was pulled into this man's arms, she didn't even think about resisting. She even felt a little aggrieved, and burst into tears.
But she clearly didn't know this man.
Zhao Ce recovered and held Su Yu in his arms. Only at this moment did he feel that the world was real.
He comforted Su Yu softly: "It's my fault."
The guests present were temporarily under control, and there were many who had big businesses and were bold. Unfortunately, all the noises were blocked by the well-trained guards in the courtyard.
Zhao Ce glanced coldly at Qian Yuanwai, who was so frightened that his legs were weak, and said in a cold voice: "Forcibly robbing a civilian girl, according to Daqing law, a hundred sticks, and exile to the army, three thousand miles."
Officer Qian wanted to say that he had not raped the girl, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the sword on his neck came closer, as if bleeding.
"Hero, spare... spare, spare, spare... spare my life..."
Seeing how Zhao Ce was so careless and put a sword on the officer's neck, everyone was guessing who Zhao Ce was.
The county magistrate got the news and hurried over slowly. When he saw Zhao Ce, especially the jade pendant that symbolized his royal status, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please see your Majesty."
The county magistrate tremblingly held onto his crooked black gauze hat, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't know that the prince was coming, and I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me."
Prince? ! This man is actually the prince? !
The greatest official most people present have ever seen in their lives is the county magistrate, and they can actually meet the nobles of the capital in their lifetime.
Zhao Ce's mind was focused on Su Yu. He picked her up and walked out, leaving only one sentence: "Do as I just said."
What did he just say?
The words that just came to everyone's ears automatically came to mind: One hundred rods, exile in the army, three thousand miles.
Officer Qian's face turned pale and he collapsed completely, with a pool of yellow liquid flowing out between his legs.
The secret guard avoided him in disgust, and nothing would happen to him next. If the people in the capital knew that the prince came all the way here just to steal a bride, they would be so shocked that their eyes would fall off.
Su Yu looked confused and said timidly: "Where are you taking me?"
"Of course I will follow this king back to the capital."
Su Yu:? ? ?
"do we know each other?"
Zhao Ce lowered his eyes to look at her and said matter-of-factly: "You are my princess, do you know me?"
Su Yu:? ? ? ? ?
"Whether you admit it or not, there is only one choice, which is to go back to the house with me, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, I will arrest your family members and take them to the capital, leaving you with nowhere to go but to return home with me."
Su Yu's face turned pale.
Outside the door, a young man wearing a long gown was wandering not too far away. When he saw Su Yu, his eyes lit up: "Sister Ayu!"
Uh-huh!
A long sword was pressed against him, stopping his approach.
Zhao Cefeng narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a dangerous tone: "Sister Ayu? Who is he?"
Su Yu and Su Xiucai were both too nervous to speak.
Finally, Su Xiucai had the courage to reply: "I am sister Ayu's neighbor. We grew up together and are childhood sweethearts."
"Childhood sweetheart?" Zhao Ce recalled these four words and sneered, "Drag him down and leave a whole body."
Su Xiucai's face turned pale.
Su Yu couldn't help but grab Zhao Ce's clothes: "Don't kill him."
Zhao Ce's eyes were slightly cold, and he felt as if he had drank a jar of vinegar: "Are you distressed? Why didn't you say that you still had a childhood sweetheart when you hugged my neck and kissed me?"
Su Yu was even more confused, her cheeks flushed uncontrollably: "When did I..."
Zhao Ce was worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on: "Why are you still standing there? Drag it down!"
"Don't!" Su Yu's eyes filled with tears, and finally she buried her face in his arms in humiliation, "I will be obedient and return to the capital with you. Don't kill him."
For some reason, Su Yu had an intuition that this strange man who suddenly appeared would not hurt her.
His woman begged him for another man.
Zhao Ce wanted to kill people even more.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ce closed his eyes and said coldly: "Beat him, and then throw him far away."
In the carriage, the little beauty was kissed until her cheeks turned red. Her hair was messy and scattered on Zhao Ce's lap. She was crying with tears in her eyes, begging him to be gentle...
(A dog man is a dog man at all times. Zhao Ce took the script of robbery this time. Hahaha. The next development is similar to the main text. Let’s stop here. See you in the next world.)
