Chapter 249 - 101: A Beauty’s Wrath (Part 1)
"Qin Gang wants to marry Lie Rou?" Fa Xiaoyi was somewhat surprised upon receiving the wedding invitation.
It was not a new occurrence that Qin Gang was interested in Lie Rou within Polo City. Despite Lie Rou being a widow, she was beautiful, loyal, and chaste. Plus, being the foster daughter of the current Empress Dowager, her reputation in the nation was much better than that of her daughter Yue Jinghua.
Yet Qin Gang was merely a Martial Artist, albeit a Dark Heavenly Master, but after all, he belonged to the same generation as Lie Rou’s father or even her grandfather. By such reckoning, Lie Rou would be marrying beneath her status.
But, would she agree to her mother remarrying?
Such a thought inadvertently flashed through Fa Xiaoyi’s mind. He even found his sudden speculation to be odd.
The first thing Fa Xiaoyi thought of when Lie Rou was getting married, however, was Yue Jinghua. Did she know about this, and if she did, would she consent?
Yue Jinghua, with her stunning alchemy skills displayed during the Imperial Alchemist’s assessment, was thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
As she was escorted down, her white clothes fluttering past Fa Xiaoyi, a serene smile graced her face, which seemed to allude to her transcending beyond the dust of the world.
In that moment, a vague and indescribable feeling flickered through Fa Xiaoyi’s heart.
"Truly a blessing for our Prince, spies in the palace have reported that Princess Sha Fei bled this morning," the guard by his side brought the wedding invitation, also delivering good news.
With Princess Sha Fei’s miscarriage, Shang Kingdom is left without a successor. Should anything happen to Fa Xiaoyun, a mere three-day or two-day mishap, the Shang Kingdom would be his for the taking.
"The invitation mentioned that in three days, General Qin has invited the Empress Dowager and the Monarch to oversee the wedding affair. They also request the presence of our Prince and guests of honor from within the city. My Lord, this truly is a rare opportunity, shall we...?" whispered the guard beside him.
