Chapter 458 After being sent to the bridal chamber,
Wei Ruo's reaction was dull, not even a hint of anger, nor the sad and angry expression that Wei Qingwan expected to see.
Wei Ruo curled up his lips and replied: "Thank you for your blessing, but it's a pity that I can't congratulate you like this when you get married." Wei Qingwan is not the
royal wife, it is Prince Yu's wife who will grow old with Prince Yu. Not to her.
"That's not certain. You can't say what will happen in the future." Wei Qingwan said.
"I'll tell you the same thing again. I can't say for sure what will happen in the future." Wei Ruodao.
"Then I'll wait and see how happy my sister will be in the future." Wei Qingwan said.
Both of them had smiles on their faces and the conversation sounded like sisters at first glance, but in reality every word was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
When the time was almost up, Yun took the hijab from the tray held by Cuiping beside her and put it on Wei Ruo's head.
The moment the hijab fell, Yun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: her biological daughter would belong to someone else's family from now on.
Wei Yilin sniffed his sore nose and muttered again: "Sister..."
Then, surrounded by everyone, Wei Ruo walked out of the main hall and walked through the atrium, supported by Xiumei and Aunt Zhang.
The middle of the atrium was covered with red cloth, and both sides were lined with people from the Wei family and guests who came to congratulate them.
Bai had a smile on her face but there was sarcasm in her eyes.
Mo's expression was indifferent, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Most of the faces of Wei Ruo's cousins were filled with joy. They had no feelings for Wei Ruo. They just thought it was a good thing for Wei Ruo to marry into the palace and it would bring honor to their Wei family.
Among them, Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng, who had had a holiday with Wei Ruo, were not in a good mood, but they had to look very happy in front of the guests.
Xu Fengyuan was among the guests. He did not drink today and hid in the crowd watching Wei Ruo go out.
Lu Yuhong also came and stood next to Xu Fengyuan.
Wei Ruo was a person who was kind to him no matter what. He couldn't do anything else when she got married, but he wanted to come here to see her off after all.
Xie Jue and Xie Ying didn't have much joy on their faces. They both stared at Wei Ruo and watched her walk towards the door.
Outside the door, the wedding team from Prince Rui's Mansion has arrived.
Wearing a red hijab, Wei Ruo couldn't see His Royal Highness Prince Rui, who came to welcome his bride. He could only lower his head and see the road under his feet.
With the support of Nanny Zhang and Xiumei, Wei Ruo got on the sedan chair.
The dowry maid Wei Ruo only wanted Xiumei, the dowry maid asked Nanny Zhang, and the rest of the attendants Wei Ruo didn't want any of them, but the mansion still arranged a few, mainly for the sake of the face of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion.
Wei Ruo was sitting in the eight-carriage sedan. After feeling that the sedan was moving smoothly, he lifted the hijab on his head.
The inside of the sedan was a festive bright red, and there were soft cushions to sit on. There was a small table beside him with some dried fruits on it.
Outside, there were sounds of firecrackers, gongs and drums, carriages and horses, and crowd noises.
Although Wei Ruo was very calm when talking to Xie Ying just now, in fact, Wei Ruo himself was still a little uneasy.
Whether he was getting married or marrying a stranger he had never met before, even Wei Ruo had never experienced such a thing.
I don't know how to spend my wedding night. If Prince Rui is really seriously ill and recovers, I'm afraid that if his health is still good, he will still want to perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong with her on the wedding night.
It was absolutely impossible for Wei Ruo to do that kind of thing with someone who was completely unfamiliar to her, and she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
So if His Highness Prince Rui really wanted to do something to her, she would definitely use Zhao'er to hide away. She had thought of the method well, and used drugs to confuse Prince Rui so that he could not do anything.
Wei Ruo's drug is colorless and odorless, so as long as it is administered skillfully, ordinary people cannot detect it. Prince Rui himself had physical problems. I heard that he had fainted in public several times before.
So as long as she administered the drug secretly, she should be able to successfully fool the wedding night.
It's just that this drug can be used for a while but not for a lifetime. If King Rui is still alive for a long time, she will have to think of other ways. Half an hour later, the wedding team arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion.
After the sedan stopped, Wei Ruo heard footsteps approaching the sedan, so he put down his red hijab again.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and Wei Ruo saw a slender hand reaching out to him from below.
After Wei Ruo hesitated for a moment, he handed over his hand.
Then Wei Ruo's hand was held by the other party. The other party didn't use much force, just enough to hold her hand to prevent her hand from slipping.
Wei Ruo felt conflicted when a stranger grabbed his hand.
But in this situation, Wei Ruo also knew that he couldn't act recklessly.
If the other party is Marquis Xuanping, it might be possible for her to do whatever she wants, but with Prince Rui it is almost impossible. The royal family cannot afford to lose this person and will never let her off lightly.
Wei Ruo could only put his attention down to his feet first, and slowly followed the man's steps and walked in step by step.
I wonder if the man is in poor health and walks very slowly.
Prince Rui's Mansion was very large, and Wei Ruo didn't know how long he had walked before he reached the place where Prince Rui worshiped.
Wei Ruo couldn't see what was going on around him, but he could only hear that there were a lot of people there, so it must be very lively.
"First bow to heaven and earth——"
"Second worship to the high hall——"
"Husband and wife bow to each other——"
Wei Ruo mechanically completed the ceremony.
Then Wei Ruo saw that hand reaching out to him again.
Wei Ruo had no choice but to put his hand up again, and was once again held in the palm of that big hand with a broad palm and slender fingers.
Wei Ruo followed the man's footsteps and left the main hall where he had just worshiped.
After leaving the main hall, the surroundings became much quieter, and the footsteps of the two people could be heard clearly.
After walking for who knows how long, Wei Ruo finally reached the bedroom.
Wei Ruo was brought to the bed and sat down, and then heard the matchmaker saying auspicious words in his ears, and then someone was playing with something next to him.
After some busy work, these people all retreated from the room.
In the end, she and Prince Rui were the only ones left in the bedroom.
The firelight of the red candle danced in the bedroom. Wei Ruo lowered her head and looked in front of her, and a pair of black boots appeared in front of her.
The man didn't move for a while, just standing in front of Wei Ruo, thinking about something.
Wei Ruo clenched his fists nervously.
Wei Ruo's hand inside his sleeve has tightened the drug package, ready to spill it at any time.
Of course, it's best not to be so direct, otherwise it will be difficult to end the relationship when the man wakes up the next day.
As long as the man didn't mess around directly, she still planned to put the drug in the glass of wine and escape tonight without anyone noticing.
Wei Ruo was just thinking when he saw the man making a move.
A weighing beam reached under the hijab, picked up Wei Ruo's red hijab, and slowly opened it...
