Wedge

  Pitch-black and deserted night, Jiangnan, a quiet small town——

  In ancient alleys.

  The girl, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, was terrified and kept backing away. She was slowly being pushed into a dead end.

  "What do you want to do?!" The girl's dark pupils were filled with terror.

  Several burly men stepped forward with leering grins, a few of them waving the clubs in their hands: "What do you think we want to do?"

  A faint purple light flickered on the girl's wrist, but no one noticed.

  "Boss, it's up to you." One of the thugs said, then retreated.

  "Go away! Don't come near me!" The girl sat down on the ground, her face pale.

  "Hmph!" The leading man snorted in laughter, unimpressed.

  At this time, the midnight bell rang out.

  "Dong——Dong——Dong——"

  The big Han who was about to pounce forward suddenly flashed a white light and was bounced out several meters away.

  The girl gently stroked the loose hair beside her ear, then slowly raised her head. A pair of fiery red eyes shone brightly in the dark night. The purple light from her bracelet was even more intense. The girl curled up a smile: "Do you know why I told you to stay away from me? Because I once promised someone that I wouldn't fight for a year. Did you hear the bell ringing last night? The deadline has arrived, which means... you're all going to die." Around the girl seemed to be a deadly aura floating, like a hellish Rakshasa.

  Hehe......

  Several rascals felt something was amiss and were about to turn around and run away. But then a white light flashed at lightning speed, darting back and forth among the group of people. When the white light stopped, with its back to the crowd, there was a "thud" sound, and one by one, the rascals fell down. The girl slightly turned her head, her bright red eyes scanning around in a circle, and continued walking forward slowly.

  As he walked out of the alley, his eyes had returned to their usual dark color, and the solemn killing intent around him suddenly disappeared.

  Suddenly, a white light cut through the dark night sky and shot straight at the girl.

  The white light was so dazzling. The girl subconsciously closed her eyes. In her heart, she secretly cried out: Oh no, could it be that I was ambushed by someone halfway through my snowy journey? This time, I've lost face in a big way!

  ……

  Night, just at the auspicious hour.

  The prime minister's mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with the sound of people bustling about.

  Today is the day of the grand wedding between Left Chancellor Ying Mo Yu and Right Chancellor Han Tai Dong's youngest daughter, Han Tai Yue. According to rumors, Han Tai Yue was willing to sever her relationship with her father in order to marry Chancellor Ying, but it's unclear whether they actually did. In any case, Right Chancellor Han eventually compromised.

  It's true that these two are a match made in heaven. Not to mention that Miss Dantai Yue is the number one beauty in the capital, but also that Lord Ying Moyu became the Left Prime Minister at such a young age and has gained the emperor's trust. Standing together, they truly make a perfect couple with their talents and looks. There are also rumors that Lord Ying had someone he loved before, but in the end, he still chose Miss Dantai Yue. Indeed, even heroes can't resist beautiful women!

  Bridal chamber

  Red lanterns hang low, candlelight flickers.

  Dantai Yue wore a bright red long gown, with a phoenix crown and pearl curtain on her head, lightly made up, her beautiful face was radiant with happiness. Today, she would become Mo You's wife, and he would become her husband. She had been waiting for this day, she didn't know how long she had waited. Even if it meant paying a painful price, she wouldn't regret it.

  "Madam." A maid from the side quickly walked up: "The master said that entertaining guests may take some time, and ordered me to serve you something to eat first."

  "It's unacceptable." Xiu Mei frowned: "How can the bride be so rude before the groom arrives? There has never been a precedent since ancient times."

  "Madam, this is what the master means. Please don't make it difficult for me." The maid said as she poured a cup of wine and handed it to Tan Tai Yue: "Please, madam."

  "Hmm." Dongtai Yue nodded slightly, took over the wine cup, and gently sipped a little.

  "Madam, I'll take my leave first." "Alright, you may go." The maid bowed her head and backed out. Dongtai Yue got up to put the wine cup back on the table. But a sharp pain suddenly seized her abdomen. "Ah!" She cried out in pain. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Her eyes rolled back, and she slowly fell to the ground.

  At this time, the maid who had just gone out suddenly started running wildly and shouted: "It's bad! It's bad! The lady has poisoned herself!"
