Section 6 Consonance
The joy was noisy, and the red candle was like blood. A big red veil covered the bride's entire vision. Looking at the dark corridor under her feet and the pair of red embroidered shoes, Lu Youyou was struggling with difficulty, and every step seemed to have to use all her strength.
Apart from the noisy joy, the only thing Lu Youyou could hear was her heavy breathing, and then she could feel the corridor under her feet that could never end no matter how hard she walked.
"Li Qi... Li Qi, where are you? I... I can't walk anymore..." Under the heavy pressure, Lu Youyou called out loudly.
However, no matter how loud her shouts were, the voice seemed to be ruthlessly swallowed by the dark corridor in front of her. It was not until someone suddenly helped her that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly grabbed the man's arm and said anxiously: "Li Qi... Qilang? Is it you? I finally found you, here... where is this, you... where have you just gone?"
Her inquiry was soon responded, but it was a sarcastic voice of a woman. She sneered a few times, then said slowly: "Li Qi? Qilang? Who is that? You are the bride of King Ning, and you should go with him, haha..."
"Lu...Lu Jingzhi..."
Lu Youyou was shocked, and at this time, she was suddenly pushed hard and fell to the ground. The red scarf fell to the ground. There was no sound of joy. She raised her head but found that she was pushed into a cold room, and what she saw was pale curtains and black coffins.
"Ah!" Lu Youyou was so scared that she was about to get up from the ground and escape from here, when suddenly the footsteps sounded, and the two figures walked past her in each other, standing next to the coffin, recognizing who these two were, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Lu...Lu Jingzhi..." She looked at the woman, and then looked at the man beside her, "Li Qi! You... how could you..."
"Youyou..." At this moment, Li Qi spoke with a sad face, "Why didn't you tell me that you are the bride of King Ning?"
"I...I..." Lu Youyou didn't know how to answer.
"So, I can't marry you anymore, I can only let her be my bride!" Before Lu Youyou could answer, Li Qi looked at Lu Jingzhi on the side with affectionate expression, "That's right, she... is my bride..."
"No...no...you can't, I...I...I was forced..." Lu Youyou shouted loudly, and was about to pounce, but she tripped by something under her feet and fell forward one after another, just to the edge of the coffin. When she lowered her head, she saw the face of a man with no blood.
Lu Youyou felt that the blood in her body had frozen suddenly, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Li Qi!"
...
He suddenly sat up from the bed, and Lu Youyou felt a chill on his back, and sweat soaked his inner clothes.
She gasped desperately, trying to struggle from the horror scene just now, but it took a long time to calm her spirit down. As it was, she still couldn't help but feel a burst of fear.
On the way back to Chang'an from Jiangnan, she thought about it all the way and was also confused all the way, but she just didn't know how to confess to Li Qi about her relationship with King Ning. It seemed that she felt strange no matter how she spoke.
Moreover, since he got on the boat, Li Qi seemed very busy. He asked Jinxian to accompany her, but he locked himself in the cabin every day. From time to time, there were people who looked like secret guards and secret guards in and out. It was difficult for her to say something to him.
So, the more she was, her guess about his identity became more and more certain, making her less afraid to mention her to King Ning to him. Now, she will be in Chang'an tomorrow, and she seems to be unable to mention it again.
Just as I was thinking about it, the deck suddenly shook and seemed to slow down. Looking out the window, I saw several fast ships sailing towards their big ship.
As soon as he got on the boat, Li Qi said that their boat would go straight to Chang'an from Jiangnan and would not stop at any pier in the middle of the way. So Lu Youyou guessed that it should be a ship that came to deliver supplies, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong, because yesterday evening, a boat just sent supplies, so how could it be delivered again in the morning?
Did something happen?
Thinking of this, Lu Youyou felt a little nervous and wanted to go out and take a look.
However, she had just stopped to get out when she was about to go out. With a burst of rapid footsteps, the hatch door was knocked from outside, and then the Jinxian's voice sounded: "Youyou, are you awake?"
Lu Youyou hurriedly opened the door. Jin Xian rushed in from outside the door with an excited look on his face, and then greeted behind him, "Hurry, carry them in, carry them in!"
With her greeting, several strong maids and wives immediately carried several large boxes into the cabin door, put them down, and then lowered their heads and retreated. Then Jinxian opened the big boxes one by one with his own hands, looking at Lu Youyou happily: "These are the latest styles of clothes and jewelry in Chang'an City this season. Qilang sent someone to send a letter back early and bought them from Chang'an to deliver them on the boat. We will get off the boat tomorrow. Although we have only left for less than two months, we cannot let the women in Chang'an City watch the fun. Try it quickly. These are all customized according to your size!"
"What, these are all bought for me!" Looking at the two boxes of clothes and a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry, Lu Youyou's mouth couldn't close for a long time...
...
Two hours later, looking at the noble girl of aristocratic family in the mirror, Lu Youyou seemed to be looking at another person, while Jinxian couldn't help but praise: "A clever smile, beautiful eyes, and always think it's gorgeous... Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"Get off the boat tomorrow and walk beside Li Qi?" Lu Youyou was shocked and stared at Jinxian with wide eyes, "You mean I will get off the boat with him!"
Jinxian laughed: "Or why should I spend so much effort? This is the task assigned to me by Qilang! He said, I will take you home with honor!"
"God-right... take me home!" Lu Youyou's surprise was even more extraordinary, "I'll go home with him, let me... let me see his... his family?"
If she guessed correctly, his family would probably not be able to see him so easily!
Sure enough, when Jinxian heard Lu Youyou's words, his eyes flashed a little: "That... the family's words are indeed later... that, his parents are very busy, but sooner or later there will be time!"
Thinking of Li Qi's words before leaving Jiangnan, he said he would go to her house to propose marriage to her parents in person, Lu Youyou was confused and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, Princess, I know that Li Qi's identity is extraordinary, but, he... who he is? Although Li Qi has never concealed it from me, I have never asked him, but in this situation now..."
It seems to be at the point where I have to confess!
"Can't you guess who he is?" Seeing her appearance, Jinxian smiled and teased, "But you really have a good understanding."
"I have a clear understanding of my heart? What does this mean?" Lu Youyou was stunned.
"Qilang said, I want to tell you my identity in person, and I don't allow me to tell you secretly, so let him give you this surprise personally! But there is one thing you don't want Qilang to be wronged no matter what!" After Jinxian said that, he blinked at Lu Youyou and left with a smile.
Looking at Jin Xian's back as he left happily, Lu Youyou couldn't help but complain in her heart: Surprise? Hope it's not just scared!
Alas, she must tell Li Qi about her relationship with King Ning, and she will go back to Chang'an tomorrow!
