The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

The Imperial Medical Bureau said that the emperor had been suffering from frequent headaches in recent days and had difficulty sleeping. The Imperial Medical Bureau was unable to determine the cause and could only use some pain-relieving prescriptions to alleviate the symptoms. In order to avoid discussion in the court, the emperor had not allowed the matter to be spread outside.

The Empress and Concubine An were extremely worried and immediately arranged for the concubines in the six palaces to take care of the patient. The Empress Dowager also reprimanded the Imperial Medical Bureau and urged them to speed up the investigation of the cause of the illness.

The next day, the emperor woke up, but was so sick that he could hardly get up.

When this disease occurred, rumors spread in the palace that it was all due to the emperor's cruelty and too many sins of killing that caused him to suffer from the strange disease.

On the day that Concubine Ge's murder of the crown prince was exposed, all the palace maids in Cuiwei Palace were tortured and interrogated. Finally, the truth of the matter was uncovered from several elderly people who had followed Concubine Ge for many years, and her guilt was confirmed.

As Ge Yuanhui was canonized as a noble lady, Ge Guipin was also banished to the cold palace. It can be said that the Ge family was treated with both kindness and severity. However, that night, Ge hanged herself in the cold palace. As to whether it was "suicide" or not, there are different opinions.

Not only that, the family of Yongping Marquis was hastily executed and beheaded as soon as they were convicted.

All in all, perhaps it was because these people were too resentful that the emperor fell ill.

Before we knew it, it was the tenth day of the emperor's illness and his condition was getting worse.

The Empress Dowager decreed that the wedding date of Lin'an Marquis and Jiang Wan be brought forward in order to bring good luck and pray for the Emperor, and the date was set on an auspicious day seven days later.

When Xue Zhiyi learned about this, he was not too surprised. He was just afraid that the Queen Mother meant that the prayer was fake and that things should be done as soon as possible to avoid more trouble and unexpected events.

When Huo Wuyou's betrothal gifts weighing a hundred pallets were carried into the Jiang residence, there was almost no space left in the small house.

The Ministry of Rites has already planned the wedding process. Xue Zhiyi will get married from Jianzhang Palace, and the wedding dress will be delivered in the afternoon of that day.

As things were done in a hurry, Xue Zhiyi thought that in such a rush, the wedding dress would probably be ready-made. However, when she tried it on, she found that the dress was exactly her size.

When trying on clothes, Huo Zhiyu and Chai Yue were also there. Huo Zhiyu held her chin with her hand, looking forward to it. But when she saw Xue Zhiyi changed her clothes, she also showed surprise on her face: "Second sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

It was rare that this time when she called Xue Zhiyi "sister-in-law", no one hit her head with peanuts. She just felt that she was very smart with her words, and Sister Zhiyi was really being called sister-in-law.

But the little princess herself didn't know that if she hadn't spoken without restraint that time, Xue Zhiyi would never have thought of the bad idea of ​​teasing Huo Wuyou to win him over.

All in all, in the end, Xue Zhiyi's self-righteous attempt to win people's hearts ultimately ruined her life.

In the bronze mirror, Xue Zhiyi looked at the red wedding dress that perfectly outlined her figure. She said, "The wedding dress prepared by the Ministry of Rites is very suitable for me."

Huo Zhiyu, who knew the inside story, shook his head: "No, this is something my second brother had prepared."

"Huo Wuyou?"

Huo Zhiyu cleared his throat and said, "Of course not. My second brother personally found a tailor to make the dress carefully, and then asked the Ministry of Rites to hand it over. Not only that, he also had the crown made by him. If it wasn't prepared in advance, how could it be ready in just a few days?"

After saying this, Huo Zhiyu was secretly proud of herself: by conveying this matter to sister-in-law on behalf of her second brother, she must make her second brother owe her a favor.

Xue Zhiyi understood that both the crown and the wedding dress were extremely complicated. Compared with the common wedding attire, they were really too gaudy... It was in line with the taste of Huo Wuyou, who liked to string beads on her hair, and it was as gorgeous and fancy as possible.

Fortunately, he had good taste, otherwise with such fancy dressing, he would have looked as good as Fu Jiamin if he was not careful.

However, it looked like the production of these two things would take quite a long time, so I guess he prepared them right after the marriage was granted.

Under the gazes of Huo Zhiyu and Chai Yue, Xue Zhiyi actually felt a little embarrassed.

Even though she had lived a lifetime longer than others, it was her first time wearing a wedding dress.

She felt a surge of anxiety, so hasty that it made her feel uneasy, but this uneasiness was quickly overcome by hope.

Huo Zhiyu did not stay long. He said he wanted to prepare wedding gifts for them, and then left in a hurry.

At this moment, only Xue Zhiyi and Chai Yue were left in the room. Chai Yue could no longer suppress her emotions. Her eyes were a little red, and she just looked at Xue Zhiyi's face carefully.

After a long while, she said, "If Dad and Mom saw Awan like this, they would definitely be happy."

Xue Zhiyi just looked at her: "It's a pity that I can't let my sister see me off as a family member."

Chai Yue just smiled and shook her head: "As long as everyone is fine, it doesn't matter."

As she spoke, she took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Xue Zhiyi's wrist: "This is my mother's dowry. I will never get married in this life, so I will give this to you as a dowry, just as a reminder."

The jade bracelet is not an expensive item, but it has been carefully protected and polished over the years, giving it a warm and soft luster.

……

The seven days passed quickly, but the emperor's health became worse and he was awake less and less each day.

Xue Zhiyi secretly asked Chuizhu to pass a message to Huo Wuyou to inquire about this matter. Huo Wuyou only felt that the disease came on violently and was very strange, but he could not find out any reason.

The wedding date has arrived.

Xue Zhiyi's room in Jianzhang Palace was newly decorated with wedding characters pasted everywhere and red silk hung, making it quite lively.

Last night, on the eve of her wedding, Chai Yue talked with her until late at night. Xue Zhiyi did not sleep too long either. As soon as the sky was bright, Xue Zhiyi was woken up and prepared to dress up.

The marriage was arranged by the emperor and was also for the purpose of bringing good fortune, so the palace attached great importance to it. People from the Six Shang Bureau had been preparing for this matter in the past few days, and they had also assigned people from the Shangyi Bureau to help Xue Zhiyi with her hair and makeup.

Xue Zhiyi's long black hair was combed into a woman's style, and he wore an elaborate wedding dress and a hair crown. He looked like a gorgeous gold cup inlaid with gems, and was adorned with pearls and jade.

It can only be said that Huo Wuyou is very good at dressing up. Even though the outfit is so complicated, it does not make people feel messy. Among the flowers and brocade, Xue Zhiyi's fair little face looks like delicately painted white porcelain, generous, dignified and elegant, without being deprived of any brilliance by the outfit.

When the auspicious time arrived, Xue Zhiyi covered his face with a round fan and was supported out of the door.

The intricate pearls and jade on her body jingled with every step she took.

She wanted to go to the main hall of Jianzhang Palace to bid farewell to the empress dowager first, but when she stepped into the main hall, she heard another sound of pearls and jade colliding. The sound brushed through her heart, and Xue Zhiyi felt inexplicably nervous.

She knew that Huo Wuyou was already waiting in the main hall.

Through the veil of the fan, she saw the familiar figure, who was looking at her over the fan. Xue Zhiyi also lowered the fan slightly until he could see the person in front of him clearly with his slightly raised eyes.

Huo Wuyou's clothes were almost as good as hers, and he looked like a peacock with its feathers spread out.

Under the flamboyant attire lies an even more flamboyant face. Between his handsome features is overflowing youthfulness, as well as the complacency of having achieved what he wished for.

Xue Zhiyi's eyebrows moved slightly. She thought that no matter how good-looking Huo Wuyou was, she was already used to it. But at this moment, Huo Wuyou brought her the same surprise as the first time they met on the Jinlu Bridge.

But there were clearly no sparks in front of her eyes, but her eyes suddenly lit up the moment she looked into his.

Huo Wuyou's pupils trembled slightly, and he was stunned for a moment. After a few breaths, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile with smugness spread across his lips.

It was not until Chuizhu handed the red silk to him for the third time that Huo Wuyou came to his senses belatedly. He and Xue Zhiyi each held one end of the red silk and faced the empress dowager.
