Chapter 135: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 135: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Soon, half a month passed. During these days, the servants in the princess's mansion were busy in an orderly manner for Wen Yang's marriage.
Wen Yang's dowry, the belongings of the accompanying personnel, and the ceremonial items required for the marriage have all been counted. They only need to wait quietly for the appointed day to arrive and then they can set off.
In the evening, Wen Yang habitually walked to the window of the bedroom and looked towards the back courtyard.
Qiuju felt a little complicated when she saw the direction Wen Yang was looking.
His Highness once dismissed all the concubines in the mansion for Ling Han, and she saw the special feelings he had for Ling Han.
But Ling Han unexpectedly disappeared after the autumn hunt...
If Ling Han hadn't disappeared, His Highness wouldn't have been willing to go to Jiang Country to marry...
Thinking of this, Qiuju sighed silently.
She turned around and took out a bright red dress from a box. It was the wedding dress sent from the palace in the afternoon.
The fiery red silk material is embroidered with golden phoenixes, and the three-dimensional gold thread makes every feather of the phoenix come alive.
The cuffs and collar of the wedding dress are inlaid with fine pearls and gems, making it look luxurious and dazzling.
Qiu Ju carefully held the exquisite wedding dress and walked to Wen Yang's side. She said softly, "Your Highness, this is the wedding dress that the palace embroidery workshop sent this afternoon. Would you like to try it on first?"
Hearing this, Wen Yang turned around, took a look, and nodded: "Then try it on. If there is anything that doesn't fit, you can send it back to the palace for alterations."
After receiving a positive answer, Qiuju immediately called in a few maids to help Wen Yang change clothes.
Behind the screen, Qiuju spread out the fiery red wedding dress. The bright red satin, set against the candlelight in the room, had a soft luster and looked extremely noble.
She carefully put the wedding dress on Wen Yang. After putting it on, Wen Yang turned around lightly, and the golden phoenix on the wedding dress danced with it, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high. The fluttering hem of the skirt also quietly opened up, like a gorgeous flower.
Wen Yang came to the bronze mirror by the window, looked at himself in the mirror, and was also amazed by his appearance.
At this moment, she did not tie her hair up, and her ink-black long hair was scattered behind her, forming a sharp contrast with the warm red of her wedding dress. This made her skin look whiter than snow and extremely charming.
Wen Yang lowered his eyes and stroked the golden phoenix on the wedding dress, praising it softly, "It's embroidered so beautifully."
Qiu Ju and the maids also praised: "Your Highness, you are dressed so beautifully!"
Wen Yang couldn't help but chuckle and humbly accepted the maids' praise.
But for some reason, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind: it would be nice if Ling Han could also see her wearing her wedding dress.
However, what Wen Yang didn't know was that when she stood by the window, a black figure could be vaguely seen between the branches of a tall willow tree in the princess's mansion when the cool evening breeze blew past.
The sturdy willow tree in the princess's mansion is quite old, so it is tall enough and its branches are dense enough for Ling Han to stand on it and hide his body.
He spent half a month on the road before returning to Lingguo as a businessman.
After arriving in Ling Kingdom, he didn't rush to the princess's mansion to check on the situation immediately, because he was afraid of seeing the deserted princess's mansion... He was afraid that the person would no longer be there...
So he first sent his men to the people to inquire about the news about Princess Wenyang.
He felt a little relieved until his subordinates reported that there was no news of Princess Wenyang's death among the people.
In the evening, when he arrived near the princess's mansion, he found that the mansion was completely different from the desolate one he had imagined. It could even be said that it was busier than when he was there before.
Servants were constantly coming in and out, busily moving boxes of things, and among them were even many unfamiliar faces that he had never seen when he was in the mansion.
He waited for a long time in an alley on a side street near the princess's mansion, but did not see the figure he had been thinking about. After thinking for a while, he secretly exerted force on his toes, and with a light tap, he jumped over the high wall of the mansion from the back door.
After landing, he lightly jumped onto the tall willow tree in the princess's mansion. Qingsong used to use this tree as a stopover to enter and exit the princess's mansion and had never been discovered.
Ling Han stood on the willow tree, hiding his body among the yellow willow branches, and then glanced sideways in the direction of Wen Yang's bedroom.
His eyes passed through the yellow willow branches and were fixed on the open bedroom window.
Warm yellow candlelight shone through the window, and at the same time, a silver bell-like laughter came from that direction.
Ling Han's body involuntarily tilted slightly, wanting to get closer to confirm who was laughing in the room.
Suddenly, the figure in the room moved, and a fiery red figure appeared in Ling Han's sight from the window.
The moment Ling Han saw clearly who was in the room, his breathing almost stopped.
At this moment, Ling Han even suspected that he was in a dream.
He pinched his thigh and felt the pain, then he confirmed that she was actually still alive!
The figure that had appeared in his dreams countless times was now standing right in front of him!
The fiery red wedding dress was like a burning flame, coupled with the face that he had been thinking about day and night, it looked particularly dazzling in the night, and it was so hot that Ling Han's heart beat faster.
He almost subconsciously wanted to rush out and embrace the person he was thinking about, but his mind told him that now was not the time to do so...
Now that his great cause has not been accomplished, he cannot reveal his identity at this time, otherwise, it is likely to bring trouble to Wen Yang.
Now, as long as he can confirm that she is still alive, he will be satisfied...
Just as he jumped off the willow tree and was about to quietly leave along the route that Qingsong usually took, suddenly, a cold light flashed in the corner of his sight and came straight at his face.
"Who are you, little thief, to dare to trespass into the princess's mansion!" A rough male voice sounded, and a silver spear instantly danced in front of Ling Han.
Ling Han almost instinctively turned sideways and barely avoided the attacking spear.
This commotion also caught the attention of Wen Yang in the bedroom...
