Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1448: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (27)

When Xiao Chuhua arrived, there were corpses all over the ground and Dai Ke lying on the ground covered in blood.

Zhao Zijin ordered: "Hurry up and deal with the body on the ground."

When Xiao Chuhua saw Dai Ke, her heart skipped a beat, but when she heard Zhao Zijin's calm instructions, she instantly came to her senses.

"and many more!"

The servants who were carrying the stretchers to deal with the corpses approached Dai Ke first and ignored the other corpses.

Xiao Chuhua took two steps towards Dai Ke, but was stopped by Zhao Zijin. "Your Majesty, it is very likely that Fang Zhishan is holding a grudge and has hired someone to kill Dai Ke for revenge. There may be hidden weapons on the body, so you'd better not get close."

Xiao Chuhua looked at Zhao Zijin, his face was very calm.

If it was anyone else today, there would be nothing wrong with his expression.

But if Dai Ke died and he still had this emotionless face, then there would be a big problem.

Zhao Zijin thought that Xiao Chuhua didn't realize that he liked Dai Ke because of the information gap between them.

Xiao Chuhua played along: "I like your mother very much. Since she is dead, why not leave her body to me as a memorial."

Hearing this, Zhao Zijin knelt in front of Xiao Chuhua and blocked her way.

"Your Majesty, the dead are the greatest. Please let my mother rest in peace!"

Xiao Chuhua walked to Dai Ke's side persistently: "I won't." She bent down and picked up Dai Ke: "Go back to the palace."

Zhao Zijin followed Xiao Chuhua, glancing at Dai Ke from time to time, fearing that he would reveal any flaws.

Along the way, he kept advising: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules. Moreover, if the people knew what happened tonight, I am afraid it would affect your reputation."

"Why not leave mother to me?"

Xiao Chuhua pretended not to hear and got on the carriage directly: "Go back to the palace."

Fengkang Palace.

Xiao Chuhua sat at the table, holding a wine glass in his hand.

After drinking the strong liquor, she looked at Dai Ke lying quietly on the bed and asked, "How long are you going to pretend?"

Dai Ke, who was originally dead, sat up from the bed and walked to the table with her bloodstained dress.

"Your Majesty has good eyesight." Xiao Chuhua narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You are using me."

Dai Ke pretended not to understand and poured himself a glass of wine: "Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

"You knew clearly that I could see that Zhao Zijin liked you, but you didn't remind Zhao Zijin to play the whole game. You deliberately let me see your fake death plan. Are you using me, or are you reluctant to give up the honor of being the queen?"

Zhao Zijin didn't know that Xiao Chuhua could see through their relationship, so it was understandable that he was emotionally negligent.

But Dai Ke clearly knew that Xiao Chuhua knew about Zhao Zijin's feelings for her, but she did not remind Zhao Zijin to act grief-stricken, which was discovered by Xiao Chuhua. This was obviously intentional.

Dai Ke still pretended not to understand: "Maybe I forgot to remind you."

Dai Ke originally had no intention of entering the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the identity of queen could help her a lot.

It would be more satisfying to crush the Dai family with money than to crush them with status and power. Xiao Chuhua did not continue to expose her: "Since you chose to fake your death, you can save the step of divorcing Zhao Wei. I will directly give you a new identity and let you enter the palace as the queen as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty."

The discussion here was harmonious, but the other side seemed to be in a state of panic.

Xiao Chuhua brought Dai Ke into Fengkang Palace. It would be extremely difficult for him to take Dai Ke away from Xiao Chuhua.

Taking advantage of the midnight, Zhao Zijin wanted to sneak into Fengkang Palace to bring Dai Ke out, but was forced back by the guards who were on high alert.

This scene also made him speculate.

Perhaps Xiao Chuhua had already figured out that Dai Ke was faking his death.

Zhao Zijin stayed in the outer courtyard until dawn.

Seeing Xiao Chuhua dressed in a dragon robe preparing to go to court, Zhao Zijin went to meet him and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, my mother..."

Xiao Chuhua didn't intend to make a fuss about it, but the premise was that Zhao Zijin had to be sensible. "Your mother has been buried, don't ask about this matter anymore."

Xiao Chuhua's strong tone also confirmed Zhao Zijin's guess.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

-

Zhao Zijin was not summoned to the imperial court for three consecutive days.

It was not until the news came out that the emperor was going to marry the daughter of the Grand Tutor as his queen that Xiao Chuhua summoned him.

"I see your Majesty!"

Perhaps it was because people were in high spirits when something good happened, Xiao Chuhua exuded a spirit of energy.

She happily informed Zhao Zijin: "The wedding of the Grand Tutor's daughter and the ceremony of crowning the queen will be held on the same day. We must be on high alert. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes, I will make careful arrangements." "I can't wait to marry my queen. The date is set for seven days from now. The Ministry of Rites will speed up the wedding arrangements, so you should hurry up with your arrangements as well."

"Yes...I obey your command."

After leaving the imperial study, Zhao Zijin felt extremely heavy-hearted.

He didn't even need to ask to know who Xiao Chuhua was going to marry.

But under Xiao Chuhua's nose, he had no choice but to follow her orders.

……

Seven days is just a blink of an eye for everyone.

But for Zhao Zijin, every second felt like a year.

On the day of the empress's coronation ceremony, the whole city was bustling with activity, celebrating for the emperor.

Only in one corner of the scene was there an atmosphere of depression.

Before being crowned queen, Dai Ke would be escorted to the sacrificial site by a group of beautiful ladies in red.

Zhao Zijin gripped the hilt of the knife, seeming to have made up his mind.

In the room, Dai Ke sat in front of the mirror, with a matchmaker behind her helping her with her hair and makeup.

Although the wedding was hasty, Xiao Chuhua adopted the highest royal etiquette standards, with all the steps and objects required.

The wedding dress, which was made by a hundred people in seven days, was exquisite and elaborate, demonstrating the royal family's dedication.

Dai Ke looked at himself in the mirror in a trance.

A figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, and then the matchmaker behind him fainted on the ground.

Her wrist was held and her whole body was pulled into his arms. When she looked up, she saw Zhao Zijin's anxious eyes.

"I'll take you away."

Zhao Zijin wanted to take Dai Ke away from the wedding banquet, but Dai Ke stayed where she was. Zhao Zijin looked back at her and asked in confusion, "Why don't you leave?"

"I can't leave."

"Why? Do you really want to marry Xiao Chuhua?"

"Ajin, His Majesty already knows about your plan to fake your death. If I go with you today, we will be hunted down tomorrow."

"Don't forget, Zhao Wei is not dead yet, and your revenge has not been avenged. Are you willing to leave like this?"

Of course Zhao Zijin wanted to kill Zhao Wei, and he would have the chance to kill Zhao Wei in the future, but if he couldn't take Dai Ke away today, he would never have the chance to take her away in the future.

"None of this matters. What matters is that you must follow me now!"

Dai Ke shook him off and took two steps back: "I can't leave. If I leave, won't your ambitions and ideals be ruined?"

Seeing Dai Ke avoiding him, Zhao Zijin could no longer control his suppressed emotions. He stepped forward, held Dai Ke's face, and kissed her fiercely.

Her bright red lip balm smudged onto Zhao Zijin's thin lips.

"I don't care about ideals, and I don't want to care about hatred now. I just know that I have to take you away!"
