Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Li Tuquan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, knowing that this had touched upon Emperor Wenzong's taboo.

"Of course not. Our Dongling Kingdom not only has strong soldiers and horses, but also many brave and skilled generals."

"Old Five has been praised by the people as the God of War. If Southern Xinjiang can only rely on him, I am afraid I will have to give him even this position."

Emperor Wenzong's expression became fierce. He knew how powerful Chu Xuanchi was, which made him even more wary and suspicious.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. You are a wise ruler, respected by all the people, and Your Highness is a loyal and patriotic person."

Li Tuquan was very cautious. He understood better than anyone the saying "serving the emperor is like serving a tiger", especially when facing a suspicious emperor.

Emperor Wenzong was suspicious by nature. He didn't trust anyone, whether it was his partner or his own son. The only person he trusted was himself.

"I hope I am just worrying too much. If Old Five really has such inappropriate thoughts, I can only...hiss..."

Emperor Wenzong felt a sharp pain in his head, as if someone was hitting him hard in the head, and he gasped in pain.

His complexion was not good to begin with, and now all the blood color faded away, with fine beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

Li Tuquan couldn't see his expression from behind, but he had seen it too many times before and could imagine it without even looking.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call the imperial physician to take a look at you? You can't keep holding on like this. Your dragon body won't be able to bear it."

Emperor Wenzong's forehead was bulging with veins from the pain, his hands were clenched into fists, and he clenched his teeth to prevent himself from crying out in pain.

After the severe pain passed, his back teeth were almost broken, and he quietly let go of his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he cursed, "Those quack doctors, they didn't make me drink less medicine, but there was no effect at all, what's the use of them?"

Li Tuquan sighed, "It's a pity that we still can't invite the miracle doctor from Liuxian Island. Many people who have gone there over the years have died or been injured."

Legend has it that Liuxian Island is located in Wuwang Sea. On the island lives a miracle doctor who can cure any disease. Emperor Wenzong sent people to invite him in his early years.

Emperor Wenzong became even more angry when he mentioned this matter. "They are all useless. Not to mention inviting a miracle doctor, they can't even find a place."

Li Tuquan didn't know how to comfort him. Liuxian Island was just a legend, and whether it was true or not had not been determined yet.

Wanxiangju.

Mo Zhaohua came to accompany Rong Qing for dinner.

She is getting married soon, and there won't be many opportunities like this in the future.

After the meal, the mother and daughter went into the inner room to talk privately and mentioned the matter of the betrayal.

On the day of a girl's wedding, she must be carried on her brother's back to the bridal sedan, which is called "back-bride".

Mo Zhaohua curled his lips reluctantly, "Mother, Zhao Zhao doesn't want Mo Shenghua to carry her on her back when she gets married."

There is also an order for carrying a wife on one's back. If there is a legitimate brother, he will carry the wife. If there is no legitimate brother, the half brother will carry the wife, and the next one will be the cousin.

Rong Qing didn't want to embarrass her, "But he is your half-brother. If you don't let him marry you, you will be criticized."

Mo Zhaohua frowned, "Zhao Zhao feels sick when he thinks about Zhao Zhao lying on his back. Mother, Zhao Zhao doesn't want to do that."

In her previous life, it was Mo Shenghua who carried her in the bridal sedan chair when she got married, and this half-brother later became Mo Yun's most capable helper.

Rong Qing was helpless, "Not to mention that this cannot be changed, even if it can be changed, who does Zhao Zhao want to carry you into the bridal sedan?"

Mo Zhaohua answered without thinking, "Of course it's my cousin. Mother, can you let my cousin carry Zhao Zhao on his back when she gets married?"

Rong Qing rejected it repeatedly, "That won't work. Even if Mo Shenghua can't carry him, we should choose someone from our uncle's cousins."

Mo Zhaohua complained dissatisfiedly, "We are all brothers, why should only people from my father's side be the ones to carry the marriage?"

"That's the rule. As far as I know, there has never been a cousin marrying on his back in Shengjing. Is Zhao Zhao going to be the first one?"

There is no explicit regulation or legal restriction on this matter. It is just a custom and naturally it is not unchangeable.

Hearing this, Mo Zhaohua asked Rong Qing expectantly, "Is it okay?"

"If Zhao Zhao is not afraid of criticism from the world, I have no objection as a mother. I believe your maternal family is the same. As long as Zhao Zhao is happy, that's all that matters."

Not only does Rong Qing dote on Mo Zhaohua, but the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion also loves her. If Rong Shen really wants to marry her, they will surely not refuse.

"Zhao Zhao, go back and think about it again, and weigh the pros and cons." Mo Zhaohua may not care about his reputation, but he has to consider the Fuguo Mansion.

Rong Shen, in particular, has reached the age for marriage. Once the marriage is decided, he can marry the bride after the coming-of-age ceremony.

***

One month before a woman gets married, relatives and friends can come to add to her dowry.

Today, someone from the Fuguo Mansion came to add makeup, and it was Zhongli Xiuya who brought Rong Yue with her.

The Duke of Fuguo's Mansion was very generous and brought over two large full boxes. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was a dowry.

Mo Zhaohua looked at the big red box in the yard and said, "Aunt, Yueyue, isn't this a bit too much?"

Zhongli Xiuya was dignified and spoke in a gentle voice, "Not much, we all hope that you and His Royal Highness the King can live in harmony."

"Cousin, I even brought all the treasures from the bottom of the box. I hope you and your husband will be together forever."

Although Rong Yue didn't have a good first impression of Chu Xuanchi, since she came to add makeup, she naturally had to say some auspicious words.

Mo Zhaohua welcomed the two into the main hall, "Zhao Zhao thanks auntie for her auspicious words, and also thanks Yue Yue for her good wishes."

Zhongli Xiuya smiled and sat down, "You're welcome, we are all family, thanking you again would seem distant."

Rong Yue puffed up her cheeks and pretended to be angry, "That's right, Yueyue only has you as her cousin, and she doesn't want to be estranged."

"Aunt and Yueyue, please stay for lunch. Zhaozhao will ask someone to invite mother. She should have finished her work by now."

Rongqing has to take care of housework in the morning and is usually not free, which is why she didn't come over, but she will be free after that busy period.

Rong Yue responded very quickly, "Okay, okay, I can just chat with my cousin, I have a lot to say."

Zhongli Xiuya's eyes were full of doting, "You, you want to pester your cousin again, you are so annoying, aren't you afraid of causing dislike."

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "It's okay, aunt. Yueyue is willing to accompany Zhaozhao. Zhaozhao likes her very much. How could he dislike her?"

Zhongli Xiuya was delighted to see that the cousins ​​were so close, "Zhao Zhao should just pamper her, she's already been spoiled."

"We should naturally pamper our own girls well." To Mo Zhaohua, Rong Yue and Princess Jiashan are his own people.

They chatted in the main hall for a while, and then Rong Qing came over after finishing her work. Rong Yue greeted her and took Mo Zhaohua to the inner room.

Rong Yue sat down on a stool next to the Duobao Pavilion, "Cousin, did you really spend the Qiqiao Festival with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Mo Zhaohua did not deny it. "It's only been a few days, and even Yueyue knows about this? I wonder if the little girl has any questions?"

Rong Yue lowered her voice and asked, "Did Your Highness take advantage of my cousin?"

"No, but..." Mo Zhaohua deliberately stopped.

Rong Yue was impatient and kept urging, "But what? Cousin, please don't keep me in suspense."

"I took advantage of Your Highness." Mo Zhaohua blushed when she thought of her taking the initiative to kiss Chu Xuanchi.

Rong Yue opened her eyes wide, her cherry lips slightly opened, but she was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word.
