Chapter 970: The Entire Country Will Belong to This Daddy!
Xuan Hongyu naturally also had to participate in Xuan Xiaotian’s wedding. Even though these two were irreconcilable enemies in private, in front of their old man the emperor, they still had to act like they mutually respected each other as brothers.
The moment Xuan Hongyu left the teahouse, he headed towards the fifth prince’s residence. The residence was very lively, but it was guarded very tightly. This was to prevent any accidents from occurring, but mostly to guard against Xuan Hongyu.
Xuan Hongyu just stood in the corner and watched as the new couple went through the ritual kneeling to heaven and earth. The dark aura around him wasn’t even suppressible. Written on his face were the clear words: As long as I’m here, you guys can give up on having a happy life together! Once I frickin’ kill one of you, I’d like to see how you guys can continue holding each other’s hand into old age!
When the master of ceremonies shouted, ‘Enter the bridal room!’ Xuan Hongyu pressed his lips together and left. Ning Shu was waiting for Xuan Hongyu outside the residence. When she saw that expression as if he wanted to destroy the world on his face, she took a couple steps back. No way she should approach him right now, what if he decided to slap her? She couldn’t dodge, so she’d end up being cannon fodder.
Xuan Hongyu returned to his residence, then locked himself in his room. Ning Shu didn’t know what he was doing.
She just sneered, then headed off to start work. Xuan Xiaotian would probably be ascending to the throne soon, so she had to make preparations ahead of time to save Xuan Hongyu.
She had squatted on a tree branch to feed mosquitoes and written in a journal every day. If after surviving all of that, Xuan Hongyu still ended up dying, she’d probably puke blood and die.
As for Xuan Hongyu who had just had his heart broken, who cared about him? He’d soon be alive and bouncing again, coming up with ways to kill Xuan Xiaotian and Shangguan Qingrou.
Xuan Hongyu was in pain, but Xuan Xiaotian and Shangguan Qingrou were joined at the hip and super lovey-dovey after they got married. All the noblewomen in the capital were jealous.
Every time Xuan Hongyu heard this news, his expression was very indifferent. It was impossible to read what he was feeling.
Ning Shu felt that this person wasn’t silently suppressing anger in preparation to explode, but silently suppressing anger and becoming more twisted.
Xuan Hongyu hadn’t given up on Shangguan Qingrou and had actually become more fixated on her. He spent all his days staring at someone else’s wife.
During this time, a huge incident occurred, which was that the crown prince had happened to see his sister-in-law and his heart stirred. Shangguan Qingrou’s personality was lively and she was also very pretty. Due to having become married, she also had the loveliness of a young married woman, so she was practically top-quality goods.
The crown prince had come up with a way to get Shangguan Qingrou into his hands. Just as he was about to partake though, Shangguan Qingrou was rescued by Xuan Xiaotian. Shangguan Qingrou had nearly been scared to death.
Speaking of which, Shangguan Qingrou was also quite pitiful. She was always attracting wolves like this. There was no helping it though since her charm was seriously too great.
When Xuan Hongyu heard about this, he actually formed a mutual understanding with Xuan Xiaotian and joined hands with him to kill off the crown prince.
Following that, the entire capital was abuzz due to some of the crown prince’s malicious deeds being exposed. However, these weren’t very significant incidents. Although it wasn’t good for the crown prince’s reputation, it couldn’t shake his position. However, it did infuriate him.
The crown prince also knew that this was Xuan Xiaotian’s doing, so he decided to fight Xuan Xiaotian head on. He was thinking that in the future, this entire country would belong to this daddy, so what if this daddy slept with your woman? Just endure it! You actually dare to revolt!?
The two sides fought like cats and dogs. The crown prince was the heir apparent and had already been engaged in court for many years, so his skill couldn’t be underestimated. However, Xuan Xiaotian had Xuan Hongyu helping him, so for the time being, they were evenly matched.
