On the first day of the first lunar month of the 16th year of the Divine Book, the whole country celebrated.
Because the Nanling Palace is simple, the wedding banquet between Chitang and Gui Jixiang was held in the Ningling Palace. Almost the entire court came to attend their wedding, including Emperor Gui. It can be seen how great the Nanling Wangchitang is.
Emperor Gui and his princesses and concubines were the first to enter, followed by the two princes, the three princes, and the four princes.
After them, there are also the major officials, wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Yongcheng...
Chi Chaan also came to congratulate him. He followed the wealthy businessmen, while King Ningling and Chi Tang stayed until the officials of the third rank and above went in, and the people behind them entered on their own. Therefore, they didn't know that Chi Chao was coming.
Chi Chaan walked to the ceremony room where the hand was handed over, took off the gentleman's sword from his waist and handed it over. "Come Yufangzhai, Chidun."
"Ah...it's you!" Mr. Lifang paused with the brush in his hand, and the ink stained the gift list on the table.
"What? Aren't you welcome? Then do you, my uncle, still want the gift I sent you?" Chi Chaan said casually.
Gentleman's Sword! Mr. Lifang rolled his eyes. He was immediately greeted with a smile. "Welcome. Please tell me soon. Master Yufangzhai Chichao is here to congratulate you. I will give you a gentleman's sword as a gift!"
"Master Chi Chao of Yufangzhai has come to congratulate you and present you with a gentleman's sword! Hand! Hand!" the boy reported loudly to the courtyard.
Prince Ningling and Chi Tang, who were toasting the guests, suddenly stopped. The guests all looked at the main entrance of the courtyard.
"Why are everyone looking at me? Today's groom is the Prince of Nanling. Let's continue drinking." Chi Chaan, wearing a white silk gown, walked into the courtyard and sat down casually.
"Come here, show Mr. Chi the way. Join us at the family and friends table." Chi Tang said with a smile.
"Xian son-in-law, I'm afraid..." King Ningling didn't want to see Chi Chaan.
"He brought a gentleman's sword as a gift to me. If he is qualified to hold that position, and His Majesty is here, what else can he do, and what can he dare to do."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chi Chaan followed the young man to the family and friends table.
The chairman of the relatives and friends table is Gui Huang. Then the two princes' mansions were the auxiliary ones, followed by the three princes' mansions, and then they were arranged in sequence.
Chi Chaan's seat was at the table next to Gui Huang's. By coincidence, the people at his table were An Shi and An Ruoran.
There were only four people at Gui Huang's table - Gui Huang, the queen, the eldest princess and the princess. The prince and the third prince did not come today. Perhaps Emperor Gui did not want to reveal which son he valued in front of the officials.
When Gui Dongdong saw Chi Chuan attending the wedding banquet, he felt joyful in his heart, as if lovers living in two places suddenly had a chance to meet each other. She wanted to run over and talk to him immediately, but her father, the Queen, and the Queen were by her side, and she did not dare to show any emotion towards Chi Chaan. This will only harm Chi Chao.
Chi Chao was arranged to sit next to An Shi, which was what he wanted. Next to An Xiang sat An Ruoran again, but she was extremely haggard, and her pale face could not be concealed by heavy makeup. Later, after Chitang and Gui Jixiang paid homage to each other, she had to hand over concubine tea to Gui Jixiang. How destructive this was.
"An Xiang, you're fine!" Chi Chaan looked at An Xiang with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Humph!" An Xiang turned his head and ignored Chi Chaan.
"I heard that Miss An gave birth to a baby boy last month, but unfortunately he died. Miss An should express your condolences and take care of yourself. The good years are still there, and you can never imagine the life that will follow." Chi Chaan deliberately Tian Ruoran’s sore spot.
"Are you done?" An Ruoran said coldly.
"There is one last sentence left. You can still live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own!"
An Ruoran's hands were tightly clenched under the table, while An Ruoran's expression on the table did not change at all.
"Don't hold on, it's not good for your liver if you don't let your anger out."
"What do you want? I have never harmed you." An Ruoran's eyes were obviously foggy.
"Harm me? An Xiang, did you hear what your daughter said? Your daughter said that she has never harmed me. What about you, haha, An Xianggui is the prime minister of Gui State, do you know that you paid to kill Gui Guojian? What are the consequences for the Fourth Gentleman of the Tower? Will Gui Gui be ashamed of him? Ashamed of his family?" Chi Chaan started talking.
"You are the Four Gentlemen of the Sword Tower! One of those two Nine Heavens Divine Lights was caused by you!"
An Ruoran said in horror.
"That's right. Liao Chun is Chi Chao, and Chi Chao is Liao Chun. Many people don't know this, except for some interested people who specifically inquire about me and deduce that I am the Four Gentlemen. Assassinating the Four Gentlemen of Gui Kingdom, perhaps That man has already collaborated with the enemy and treason. An Xiang, right?" Chi Chao looked at An Xiang.
"Nonsense!" An Xiang shouted, "How can you be the Four Gentlemen of the Gui Kingdom Sword Tower! It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter anymore. I have killed all the people who assassinated me. But after a lot of effort, I found out from the leader's mouth that they were appointed by Duke Changlin's Mansion. . I am a person who always takes revenge, and I must kill the one who ordered him with my own hands."
"Have you ever thought that if you kill that person, you will indirectly cause the death of the people in that government? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" An Xiang was begging to compromise at this time.
"That's not something I should consider. If that person is self-aware, he shouldn't mess with me." Chi Chuan drank the wine in his glass.
"Mr. Chi, can you talk to me in the backyard?" An Shi stood up and looked at Chi Chao.
"If you want, go ahead." Chi Chao stood up.
"Father, I'm going too."
"No, you stay." An Shi ordered.
-backyard-
"An Xiang, it's time to call out your guards." Chi Chaan, who was walking behind An Shi, stopped.
Unexpectedly, An Shi turned around and knelt directly in front of Chi Chaan.
"Kill me. It's just you and me here."
"Oh, does the Prime Minister seem willing to die?"
"Yes, I just ask you not to expose this matter and leave me with Anjia's last face."
"You've already pretended to be the son to seize the legitimate son, so what's the point of losing face!" Chi Chaan said jokingly, "To tell you the truth, I actually knew that An Ruolan was pregnant on the day of Hunqi."
"It turns out that you knew this a long time ago, so you gave me the choice of getting married that month or next year, and asked His Majesty to agree. You have such a deep calculation!"
"It's nothing, I'm just treating others the same way they are treated."
"Alas! I lost, you go ahead and do it." An Shiwan was despairing.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you really think I'll be fooled? If I kill you right here, I won't be able to get rid of my suspicion. What's more, killing something worse than a dog is simply dirtying my hands."
"Haha!" An Xiang said with a silly smile, "Indeed, my prime minister is worse than a dog."
"You commit suicide. This is the greatest gift I can give you." Chi Chao said.
"I can die, but you have to protect the little girl. You have a responsibility. The baby is innocent, and you killed him and his father."
"Oh, so what do you mean?" Chi Chao asked.
"Chitang wants Ruoran to kill the child's father, cut off his head and give him his head. He also wants to drown his own son in front of him! You can think of this!"
Hearing this, Chi Chaan's heart was still shaken.
"Okay, if she doesn't want to stay in the palace, she can come to Yufangzhai at any time. Don't think too much, I won't let her do that kind of thing."
"I hope you will keep your word." An Xiang pulled out the dagger from his waist and walked towards the front yard.
After a while, there was a roar from the front yard.
"No, An Xiang committed suicide!"
Happy New Year!
