Chapter 126 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
The Wen family mansion in the capital.
Standing beside the lotus pond, Wen Yingchen stroked the jade beads in his hand, his gaze on the pond indifferent.
"Have you found out about Consort Lan's hometown?"
Ever since discovering the scandalous affair between the late Emperor's Consort Lan and Prince Ming, and suspecting that Prince Ming's third son, Xiao Lanyi, was not dead, he has been searching for Xiao Lanyi's whereabouts.
In the past, the Ming king could use the secret passage in the palace to murder the former emperor. So, as his son, he could also use the secret passage to abduct an innocent person.
Wen Yingchen lowered his eyes, and the butler behind him whispered, "We have a general direction; it's a small town called Jinlan in Xuanzhou."
Xuanzhou, Jinlan Town
Looking up at the ancient stone plaque, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Xiao Lanyi's eyes.
He glanced back at Le Yan, who was still unconscious, his expression softened, his heart surging with emotion. He felt that he had finally found his own connection in this world.
With a large hand encircling her soft hand, the carriage curtain was drawn, and the carriage moved slowly, soon stopping in front of a magnificent mansion.
"Qingqing, wake up. We are here."
Xiao Lanyi called out to Le Yan softly, but when she didn't respond, she stopped talking, picked her up, and jumped off the carriage.
He landed lightly, without bumping into Leyan.
However, Leyan still woke up.
Based on the dosage of the sedative, she should have regained consciousness around this time.
Looking around somewhat blankly, Le Yan couldn't help but let out a small yawn. Although she was dizzy, she had indeed had a good sleep, and she was still a little tired.
"Where is this place?"
Her voice was soft and slightly sleepy, making Xiao Lanyi's ears itch.
He coughed lightly, then said reservedly, "This is my mother's hometown. My dear, shall we get married with my mother as our witness?"
Mother?
Le Yan's brain short-circuited for a moment, and after restarting, she tilted her head in confusion. Who was the villain's mother again?
She looked at Xiao Lanyi, and asked with slight confusion, "Lanyi, your mother..."
“My mother is no longer here, but she is watching over us from heaven and will always protect us.”
Xiao Lanyi spoke lightly, but the sadness hidden in her eyes was obvious to everyone.
Le Yan immediately shut up and stopped asking about his mother.
She was still somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, so she could only hug Xiao Lanyi's neck tightly, bury her face in his shoulder, and not say another word.
Xiao Lanyi gently patted her back, said nothing, and quickly entered the mansion.
Upon entering the mansion, one is greeted by lanterns and colorful decorations, with red makeup everywhere.
Xiao Lanyi had already prepared the entire mansion well in advance. If Le Yan was willing, they could even change clothes and hold the wedding ceremony right now.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Xiao Lanyi carefully put Le Yan down before taking her hand and eagerly pushing open the door.
The first thing that catches the eye is a phoenix coronet and wedding gown that has been unfolded and hung up. The wedding dress is as red as fire, as if it is sucking away one's soul, making it hard to look away for a long time.
Xiao Lanyi was very proud. He led Leyan to touch the wedding dress and said in a clear voice, "Qingqing, this is the wedding dress I prepared for you. Do you like it?"
As for his, it was treated differently and casually placed on the table to the side, unlike the carefully arranged phoenix coronet and wedding robes.
Le Yan was completely captivated by the fiery red wedding dress with gold embroidery. It was hard to describe the shock she felt; in all her three lifetimes, she had never seen such an exquisite and beautiful wedding dress.
And that phoenix crown, inlaid with pearls and gemstones, is magnificent and exquisite, a priceless treasure.
This wedding dress shows just how serious and attentive Xiao Lanyi was about her marriage.
Le Yan tried to pull her gaze away from the wedding dress, only to find that Xiao Lanyi was staring intently at her.
His face was filled with secret anticipation, yet he held back from speaking, wanting only to wait for her reaction.
Le Yan paused for a moment, then smiled brightly without any hesitation and said, "Lan Yi, I really like this wedding dress, I especially like it!"
No joke, if she had a personal space, this phoenix coronet and wedding gown would accompany her through countless worlds.
Seeing that she genuinely liked the wedding dress she had prepared, Xiao Lanyi couldn't contain her excitement. A blush rose to her cheeks, and she said with a determined look in her eyes, "Qingqing, shall we get married tomorrow?"
"If you like it, then wear it!"
Le Yan: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Since she had already promised Xiao Lanyi, she wouldn't go back on her word now.
It's just getting married, it's not a big deal.
It’s not the first time anyway.
Le Yan was very open and calm. Having gone through so much, she had learned to have a good mindset.
As the saying goes, a good mindset determines a good life.
She's so calm about it, how could I possibly let her have a bad life?
Le Yan was thinking about all sorts of random things, but Xiao Lanyi was already incredibly excited when he heard her answer. He pulled her to sit down on a chair.
He said, "Qingqing, you should rest well. I'll go and prepare for our wedding."
He went straight out the door, and his retreating figure exuded an undeniable joy.
Le Yan looked at it intently for a moment, then looked away.
He then turned his gaze to the men's robe that she hadn't noticed at first, reached out and touched it, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
Compared to her wedding dress, which was embroidered with countless exquisite patterns in gold thread, Xiao Lanyi's wedding robe was much simpler.
Let alone gold embroidery, even a little bit of embroidery pattern is considered good.
If it weren't for the all-red logo, she would have thought this outfit was just an ordinary everyday garment.
Such a difference is evident.
Putting the matter of the wedding dress out of her mind, Le Yan was about to reconsider the problem she had just overlooked when a rare little blue butterfly fluttered in from outside the window and landed on her knee.
Stiffly looking at it, Le Yan swallowed hard before reaching out and fanning herself from a distance, trying to blow the little butterfly away.
She used to like butterflies quite a bit, but after focusing on learning about what butterflies look like, and stripping away their beautiful appearance, she found it hard to accept these insects.
Not wanting to reach out and touch it, and having no suitable tools around, she could only use her hand as a fan, trying to fan the wind and startle the little butterfly away.
But no matter what she did, even shaking her legs, the little butterfly remained firmly attached to her clothes, completely undisturbed.
This made Leyan very unhappy. She puffed out her cheeks and stared at the little butterfly for a few moments. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She took out a handkerchief from her body, wrapped it around her hand, and tried to grab the little butterfly and throw it away.
She threw it once, and the little butterfly flew back; she threw it again, and the little butterfly flew away again.
After going back and forth like this, Le Yan's expression calmed down, and she tightened her fingers slightly, preparing to kill.
Just as I pinched the butterfly's wings, I heard a soft voice calling out, "Don't hurt it."
Le Yan froze, her face stiff as she looked at the little butterfly in her hand.
No, butterflies can talk?
As soon as the idea came to her mind, she quickly threw the little butterfly away.
The little butterfly hasn't flown back yet.
But Leyan still couldn't relax, because someone appeared in front of her.
a woman.
"who are you?"
"How did you get in?"
"What do you want to do?"
The three questions left Liu Chutang somewhat stunned.
After a pause, she began to ramble on in a serious tone: "It's like this, I am your destined one, I'm here to take you away, do you want to come with me?"
