Chapter 209: There's No Way I Can Just Watch You Two Sh

s" Two palace maids entered in response."Get ready for me, immediately! I need to be dressed!" Ji Yan'er gritted her teeth."Yes, My Lady." The two maidservants didn't suspect anything and skillfully h...After a brief moment of shock, an overwhelming rage surged forth. Shangguan Jinghong narrowed his eyes dangerously, his inner fury raging like a ferocious beast, his voice chillingly cold, "So the woman Xuanyuan Rongfei is to marry is actually you"

The sound truly startled Zhao Tianyu, causing him to jump. He silently wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded nervously.

"Come on, brother, let's go out for a—cut—a— spar." Teng Di suddenly stood up, Shangguan Jinghong grinned sinisterly, baring a row of pearly white teeth at him.

“No, can I refuse” Zhao Tianyu smiled more sadly than crying. He always felt like when he said the word "spar," a chill ran down his crotch, as if what he meant by sparring was to cut off his manhood.

"What do you have to say for yourself!" Shangguan Jinghong gritted his teeth, his black eyes blazing with a terrifying fire. "I treated you as a brother, and you dare to steal my woman!"

Being falsely accused, Zhao Tianyu felt like crying. "It's a misunderstanding! I've been with you all this time, where could I have the time to get involved with anyone else! This is all my father's doing, I have nothing to do with it! Besides, I already have someone I like."

"Oh Who is it" Su Qingying was quite curious about this, and immediately leaned her face closer.

He accidentally let it slip, and Zhao Tianyu's usually stoic face flushed a rare shade of red. He coughed once, cleared his throat, and shifted the conversation with a straight face, "Ahem, we can discuss that later. Let's talk about something important first. Last night, I secretly went back to the palace and asked my father for the antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu..."

"Really, there's an antidote for the Golden Cicada Gu!" Su Qingying was startled, her phoenix eyes instantly blossoming with dazzling light.

"Well, but the antidote for the Golden Cicada Gu is only known to my father. He wants me..." He hesitated, cautiously glancing at Shangguan Jinghong who was eyeing him hungrily, then continued under immense pressure, "to marry Xuanyuan Rongfei, only then will he give me the antidote, otherwise, forget about it."

"You can try!" With that, a sharp blade was instantly lodged between his legs, about an inch apart. Shangguan Jinghong's cold gaze pierced through him, staring intently at him.

““……” With veins throbbing on his hand, Zhao Tianyu gritted his teeth with a sneer. Anger surged up within him as he abruptly stood up and roared, “Damn it! Can you please not attack without even talking If you cut off my manhood, you’ll be responsible! My younger brother is so scared that he's shaking!”

The air was thick with the smell of burning, and a fierce battle seemed imminent. Su Qingying put down her chopsticks and walked between the two, gently separating them as their swords were drawn and their bows taut. She smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why not fulfill the wishes of the Southern Border Emperor and marry Rong Fei"

"Girl!"

"Light!"

Their sharp eyes both focused on her.

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet." Su Qingying's lips curled into a sly arc. Her phoenix eyes flickered with a calculating gleam as she looked at the two of them. She nodded in satisfaction, "Well, it's good that both of you are roughly the same height and build. If Shangguan Saobao disguises himself as Tianyu, he should be able to pass."

A subtle flutter passed through her heart, and the two of them exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering. "Are you trying to substitute the prince with a fox"

"Well, anyway, the Southern Border King can't possibly be sitting in his bridal chamber watching your performance live, can he" Su Qingying blinked and smiled innocently, but the two of them didn't miss the sly gleam that flashed in her eyes.

"……”Shangguan Jinghong twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing how to reply to her words. He just felt speechless.

"Get lost, you idiot! My father wouldn't be so pathetic." Zhao Tianyu glared at her with a dark face.

"Well, now we just wait for Rong Fei to arrive in Nanjiang. Come on, take us to your prince's residence for a stroll. Since we've decided to put on a show, we have to see it through to the end."

Because Xuanyuan Rongfei and the others traveled by water, their journey was more than twice as fast. Besides, they started directly from the border of Dongyue Kingdom, so in just five days, the grand procession accompanying Xi Ming arrived in Nanjiang.

Zhao Jin of Nanjiang Nation had expected that his unfilial son, Zhao Tianyu, would at least put up some resistance and cause a stir about the marriage. However, to his surprise, in these past few days, Zhao Tianyu had been behaving quite differently. Not only did he remain obediently in his own mansion, but he also made a grand spectacle of the entire wedding affair, making it the talk of the town. There was no sign whatsoever of the previous resistance.

Seeing him so well-behaved, Zhao Jin felt a strange sensation in his heart. For a while, he even suspected that his son had been stimulated by something, otherwise how could he change his personality so quickly

The next day, drums pounded and trumpets blared, a mighty wedding procession surged towards Zhao Tianyu's mansion. The wide main street and the inns were packed to capacity, bustling with people.

Shangguan Jinghong, disguised by Su Qingying using a special method to resemble Zhao Tianyu, wore a crimson robe and stood at the entrance of the manor, his appearance strikingly handsome. He eagerly awaited the arrival of Xi Ming and the personal guard unit.

After waiting for a while, Ximing and his close associates finally arrived at the prince's residence.

Xuan Yuan Che sat high on his fiery red steed, gracefully charging towards Shang Jing with a courteous greeting.

During the "Luo Jiao" ceremony, according to custom, Shangguan Jinghong is required to kick the sedan chair. This represents the groom's authority and the hope that his wife will be obedient in the future.

However, Shangguan Jinghong walked up to the sedan chair and instead of kicking it, he gently lifted the fiery red curtain. With utmost gentlemanly conduct, he extended a hand under Xuen Yuan Rongfei's crimson veil.

His action deeply moved Xuan Yuan Che, causing his impression of him to soar several levels at once.

Gazing at the hand extended before her, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei hesitated for a moment before gently placing her own small hand into it. She allowed him to lead her out of the palanquin.

Holding her hand tightly, as soon as they approached the hall, a sharp voice from the chief eunuch came from behind, "The Emperor has arrived!"

"Whoa! No way, how did this old geezer end up here" Zhao Tianyu, hiding on the roof, nearly jumped off his perch at the sound. He glanced at Su Qingying who was sitting calmly beside him and whispered, "Qingying, are you alright My father is extremely shrewd, don't let him notice anything."

Taking a look at his spineless, cowardly appearance, Su Qingying gave him a withering glance without any courtesy. “Just relax, as long as Shangguan is silent, nobody will recognize him.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyu's heart calmed slightly.

"Today, I am merely a common father attending my son's wedding. There is no need for excessive formality, please rise." Looking at the vast number of people kneeling before him, Zhao Jin waved his hand casually, signaling them to stand up.

Although it was said this way, no one dared to be too presumptuous. They all responded with flattery and then stood aside somewhat stiffly.

Looking at the newlyweds in the hall, Zhao Jin finally broke into a rare smile. He walked to Shangguan Jinghong's side and patted his shoulder gently, comforting him: "Yu'er, my father's greatest wish in his life was to see you marry and start a family with his own eyes. Today, seeing you get married, my father's wish is finally fulfilled. One day, you will understand my father's good intentions."id you cross over" Su Qingying smiled with crescent eyes, like stars falling into them, bright and extraordinary.After the pain in his lower abdomen subsided, Zhao Tianyu straightened his waist slight...
