Chapter 40 Abandoning the Bride on the Wedding Night
"What's the matter?" Zhao Shizhu looked at Qi Xi.

Qi Xi didn't look at Su Ci, and whispered to Zhao Shizhu, "Another accident happened at the ranch. Not only did more than a dozen horses die, but several grooms also died."

Zhao Shizhu's face darkened: "I will go and see what's going on."

He walked a few steps away, then thought of Su Ci, turned back to her, and quickly completed the hair-tying ceremony.

"Aci, I have to go out for a while," he paused and said hesitantly, "Tonight... you should go to bed early..."

He may not be able to make it back.

Su Ci smiled sweetly: "Your Highness has something to do, of course I can't stop you. But let's be clear, if Your Highness doesn't come back tonight, I will never wait for you again!"

[Something happened at the ranch, does Zhao Shizhu have to go there in person? Today is the day he and Su Ci are getting married, if he abandons Su Ci and runs away, how will the people of Liangzhou view Su Ci? ! ]

[Even a fool can see that Su Ci's daughter is angry! If Zhao Gou really leaves this door, he will never be able to enter Su Ci's bedroom door again, right? ]

【What Zhao Shizhu did was really unkind. Even if he didn't like being close to women, he couldn't be a deserter like this. Su Ci was his wife, and if he abandoned her on the wedding night, people would only poke Su Ci in the back.】

[It is obvious at first glance that he deliberately abandoned the green tea bitch, because Zhao Gou fell in love with Hua'er and did not want to consummate the marriage with the green tea bitch, so he deliberately found an excuse to avoid the wedding night...]

As soon as this barrage came out, the official party reached a collective climax.

"I will come back as soon as possible!" Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci for a while, then left with Qi Xi.

As the Zhao people left one by one, Si Xue subconsciously looked at her own girl: "Your Highness only left because of something, and he will be back soon, don't worry, girl."

"Your Highness is such a grown-up, why would I worry about him?" Su Ci said as he took off the Nine-Di Crown.

The Nine-Di Crown in her hand was both beautiful and luxurious, just like her seemingly happy marriage, which was actually just an empty tomb.

As soon as Zhao Shizhu left, Lu Yi and Nanny Tang came in to serve him.

Su Ci had met Nanny Tang before, and from the scrutinizing look in Nanny Tang's eyes every time she looked at her, she knew that Nanny Tang didn't like her.

But she is used to doing her own thing, so why would she care about the opinion of a nanny?

Nanny Tang had long disliked Su Ci, so how could she miss this great opportunity at this moment: "Since the princess has entered the palace, she is no longer the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion..."

"Madam, what you said is not right. No matter where I am, I am my father's most precious daughter, and I will always be the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion. If you can't speak, don't say it. I don't like to hear it."

Su Ci stood up and shook his arms to stretch his muscles.

Never mind, she'll just make the best of it and live her life according to her own temperament from now on.

Seeing Su Ci's uncivilized look, Nanny Tang's face darkened: "This is the prince's mansion, not the Xuanping Marquis's mansion. The prince's mansion has its own rules--"

"It's so noisy!" Su Ci looked at Sixue, "Sixue, kick out the extra people."

Nanny Tang used to think she was superior to others because she was Zhao Shizhu's close attendant. She wanted to show off her power in front of Su Ci, but Su Ci didn't buy it. It showed that he didn't take His Highness seriously at all.

After receiving the order, Sixue directly attacked Nanny Tang, pushing and pulling her out of the bridal chamber.

Lu Qi saw this scene but didn't say anything, just quietly stepped forward to help Su Ci undress. Su Ci couldn't see what Lu Yi was thinking. In the past, Lu Yi gave her the impression of being very quiet, and she didn't say a word unless necessary. Even when Nanny Tang was driven out of the bridal chamber by Si Xue, Lu Yi didn't seem surprised at all.

"Lüyi, I don't need you here. From now on, you and Nanny Tang don't have to serve me. Go away." Su Ci ordered in a calm voice.

Lu Yi stepped back a few steps and replied politely, "Yes, I'll take my leave."

At this time, Si Xue drove away Nanny Tang and returned to Su Ci to reply: "The old woman has been driven away. I am afraid that when you enter the palace today, you will give the old woman a warning, and the old woman will take revenge on you one day."

"It's okay! I'm Princess Duan now. If Nanny Tang is not obedient, she will be sent out of the palace." Su Ci smiled and pinched Sixue's face.

Sanmei entered the room and said in a muffled voice, "If Your Highness does not return home tonight, all the people in Liangzhou will know tomorrow that the young lady spent her wedding night alone. What should we do?"

Su Ci had expected such an embarrassing situation to happen. She herself didn't care, but she was afraid that the Su father and son would be sad.

Zhao Shizhu wanted to leave the palace directly, but remembering what a big day today was, he went to the wedding banquet on purpose.

"I have to leave the palace for an urgent matter. I would like to thank all the distinguished guests for coming to my wedding." Zhao Shizhu said, looking at Su Fu, "Su Fu, please help me entertain the distinguished guests. I will rush back to the palace as soon as possible. Please!"

Su Lian was very unhappy when he heard that Zhao Shizhu was leaving the palace on such an important day, but Zhao Shizhu said it was an emergency matter and he couldn't stop Zhao Shizhu from leaving.

What he was worried about was that Su Ci would have to stay alone in her room tonight, which would lead to rumors all over the city.

As if knowing his concerns, Zhao Shizhu added: "This trip is related to the war, it is urgent, so I will go ahead."

When everyone heard that it was related to the war, they no longer had any doubts.

In fact, Zhao Shizhu did not lie.

There are many war horses on the ranch. When war breaks out, war horses are the most scarce commodity.

After he and Su Ci made their engagement, something happened at the ranch. Today was his and Su Ci's wedding day, and something happened at the ranch again. How could it be such a coincidence? Someone was plotting against him behind his back.

Prince Duan's mansion is about fifty miles away from the ranch. Even if he goes as fast as he can and everything goes well, he will not be able to get back to the mansion until tomorrow morning.

Qixi also wanted to understand the twists and turns: "Is someone deliberately using this method to alienate the relationship between Prince Duan's Mansion and Marquis Xuanping?"

"Except for that person, who else would go against me at every turn?" Zhao Shizhu's face was gloomy.

"How about letting me go to the ranch and Your Highness stay to accompany the princess?" Qi Xi also knew that the matter was of great importance and made a suggestion.

"No! His Majesty has given an oral order, ordering me to take good care of all the war horses on the ranch. If I fail to do so, all the war horses on the ranch will be in trouble, and His Majesty can make me lose everything with just one imperial decree. That person has planned everything, and I must go to the ranch to see what's going on. Let's go, I have to come back as soon as possible." After Zhao Shizhu said this, he jumped onto the horse's back.

Qixi also knew that time was running out and followed closely.

In the new house, Su Ci was taking a bath when he saw the barrage pop up:
[The person Zhao Shizhu was talking about must be Liu Hu! ]

[Isn't Liu Hu the chief minister of the cabinet? He is the most powerful official of the dynasty. Why does he oppose Zhao Shizhu everywhere? ]

Please don’t wait for the update in the early morning tomorrow. I will update it during the day.
