Chapter 320 Nuptial Wine
Chapter 320 Nuptial Wine
In the bridal chamber, red silk ribbons hung down like clouds.
Exquisite embroidery depicts mandarin ducks playing in the water, reflecting the beauty of the woman.
The wine on the table is crystal clear, with a mellow and festive flavor.
Li Cunxu gently closed the door, turned around, and looked at Qiu Ziyue with tender eyes.
He walked slowly towards her, his eyes filled with deep affection:
"Twilight Sparkle, we're finally together today."
Qiu Ziyue lowered her eyes slightly, her heart filled with unbearable sorrow.
Despite her many frustrations with the marriage, the scene before her still brought her a sense of warmth.
Li Cunxu said softly, "Ziyue, let's drink the nuptial wine together."
Qiu Ziyue sat on the edge of the bed and ignored Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu reached out and gently grasped Qiu Ziyue's hand.
Qiu Ziyue shook her off.
Li Cunxu smiled:
"Twilight Sparkle, are you still angry? How about this, let's go all the way and drink this toast together."
"Come"
Li Cunxu pulled Qiu Ziyue to the table, picked up his wine glass, clasped Qiu Ziyue's hands, and raised his glass at the same time.
Qiu Ziyue suddenly put her wine glass on the table.
Then, with lightning speed, she grabbed Li Cunxu's arm and bit him.
"Twilight Sparkle, you...you hate me that much?"
Li Cunxu was greatly surprised.
Pain struck Li Cunxu.
He gritted his teeth, frowned, and then smiled as he watched Twilight Sparkle bite him.
After a long while, Qiu Ziyue had bitten enough and released Li Cunxu's arm.
Li Cunxu parted his sleeve and saw a deep teeth mark, with a few drops of blood seeping out. He laughed:
"My Twilight Sparkle, you've turned into a little wolf, hehe, are you almost over your anger? Let's have a toast together."
Qiu Ziyue then raised her glass again:
"Alright, let's go all the way and I'll drink this glass with you."
May our love be as mellow as this fine wine, never fading.
Li Cunxu said in a low voice.
"puff"
Qiu Ziyue tilted her head and spat out the wine she had just taken a sip of.
"Don't give me that. Who says love doesn't fade?"
Qiu Ziyue rolled her eyes at Li Cunxu.
"My wife, we've already gone through the wedding ceremony, are you still trying to deny it?"
Li Cunxu smiled.
“Changming, go away. Stop pretending. If you release Yuxuan, nothing will happen to us,” Qiu Ziyue said.
"Okay, okay, Twilight Sparkle, I misspoke. Alright, let's drink this glass of wine, and calm down, okay?"
The lively Li Cunxu from before has come back to life.
"it is good"
The two drank the nuptial wine at the same time, and the wine slid down their throats, bringing a warm feeling.
After finishing his drink, Li Cunxu gently put down his glass, took Qiu Ziyue's hand, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Twilight Sparkle, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you and love you."
Qiu Ziyue looked at him:
"Are you telling the truth? I'm so touched. Let's keep each other company for a few more drinks while we're still happy."
Qiu Ziyue and Li Cunxu began to drink together, clinking glasses.
"Lu Yuanchangming, I've realized I'm gradually falling in love with you. Let's have a few more drinks."
Qiu Ziyue said.
"Really? You're not lying to me? No wonder you were willing to save me."
Li Cunxu's eyes gradually became unfocused, and his body collapsed weakly onto the bed.
"Lu Yuanchangming, can you tell me where your basement is? I really want to see it."
"It's in the east wing room on the east side. Why are you asking about that?"
"It's nothing. Aren't I your wife? I just wanted to ask about things at home."
"You still remember you're my wife? You woman, you break my heart."
"Alright, I was ungrateful, okay? Now, can you give me the basement key? I'm your wife, you should listen to me, right?"
Okay, I'll give it to you.
Li Cunxu, drunk, found a key in a hidden compartment in the bridal chamber.
Qiu Ziyue quickly took it and pushed Li Cunxu onto the bed.
She pulled the blanket over Li Cunxu:
"Sleep well, you're drunk."
But to her surprise, Li Cunxu suddenly pulled her down and then flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.
"Twilight Sparkle, I finally have you. Please don't leave me."
Li Cunxu, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, began to kiss Qiu Ziyue passionately, with such deep affection and intoxication.
Qiu Ziyue felt dizzy. She tried to push Li Cunxu away, but couldn't. In desperation, she knocked Li Cunxu unconscious with a single palm strike.
Qiu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took off her wedding dress, and changed into a night outfit that she had prepared in advance.
She quietly opened the window, leaped out, and disappeared into the night.
However, shortly after Qiu Ziyue flew out of the window, Li Cunxu suddenly sat up in bed.
A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Twilight Sparkle, you will come back."
He muttered to himself, as if he had already foreseen something.
It turned out that he had already guessed that Qiu Ziyue had put sleeping pills in his wine glass, and he had already taken the antidote.
A gentle night breeze blew, and moonlight shone on his face, making him appear exceptionally stern.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ziyue ran through the night sky, trying to rescue Qi Yuxuan and the others before leaving.
She quickly crossed the courtyard of the Prince of Jin's mansion and arrived at the east wing.
In the corner, she found a hidden mechanism, turned it gently, and the door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the basement.
Qiu Ziyue took out the key, gently inserted it into the lock, and with a "click," the door opened.
She stepped into the basement and looked around, only to find it empty.
I had hoped to find some clues here, but all I found was silence.
"Oh no, I've been tricked by that little fox again."
She muttered to herself, a sense of helplessness and frustration welling up inside her.
However, she frowned when she saw the luxurious decorations in the basement.
It is resplendent in gold and green, much like a modern city that never sleeps, and it also has ancient decorative features, making it even more unique, grand and luxurious.
“Lu Yuanchangming, you still can’t change your old habits. You’re extravagant and wasteful, a spendthrift.”
She couldn't help but blurt out a comment.
Nevertheless, she knew this was not the time to dwell on these things; she had to get back to the bridal chamber as soon as possible.
She knew that now was not the time to leave.
Qiu Ziyue turned around angrily and left the basement, flying towards the bridal chamber.
Just as she reached the vicinity of the bridal chamber, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting.
Her heart tightened, and she quickened her pace, instantly appearing outside the bridal chamber.
Through the window, she saw the interplay of light and shadow in the room, as if someone was engaged in a fierce battle.
Qiu Ziyue pushed open the door to the bridal chamber, and the scene before her eyes terrified her.
Li Cunxu and several guards were seen fighting an unseen enemy.
Li Cunxu's abdomen and arms were covered with wounds, and blood was flowing continuously.
The guards also suffered heavy casualties; some lay on the ground, while others continued to fight desperately.
"Oh no, it's an invisibility spell!"
Qiu Ziyue immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted loudly,
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
She quickly pulled out a handful of Sujin Ruangu powder from her bosom and sprinkled it into the air.
However, the powder spread through the air but had no effect.
The invisible man seemed to have anticipated this move, and said with a cold laugh:
"Haha, your little tricks won't work on me."
Qiu Ziyue felt a chill run down her spine. This opponent was clearly not an ordinary assassin, but a master of advanced stealth techniques.
"Don't even think about being smug."
After Qiu Ziyue finished speaking, she took out a talisman from her bosom, and then took out a bottle of developing powder that Master Qiu had given her.
"Who are you? Reveal yourself!"
As the developing powder dispersed, the invisible man instantly revealed himself, standing in the center of the room with a cold smile on his face.
"who are you?"
Qiu Ziyue asked warily.
The man was dressed in all black, wearing a mask that revealed only a pair of cold eyes.
"Who are you, and how could you break my invisibility spell?"
"I am Qiu Ziyue, and who are you? Why did you hurt my...that...Prince Jin?"
"Twilight Sparkle, are you talking about me? Haha, yes, I'm your husband."
Li Cunxu covered his wound and laughed.
"Stop being so mushy, you two. Don't you even respect me? I'm right here. You can talk after you've beaten me."
"That's what the assassin said."
“Brother, I just asked you who you are, but you didn’t answer. How can you blame me for not taking you seriously?” Qiu Ziyue said.
"Qiu Ziyue, I've long admired your name and have been eager to experience the mystical arts of the Tao family."
The assassin continued:
"I am Su Er, the renowned top assassin of the Crippled Blood Alliance, also known as 'Ghostly'."
He said slowly, "Come on, let me see just how good you really are."
