Chapter 583: The Day of Gu Nansheng’s Wedding

Si Mobai felt her smile stab into his heart like a knife, evoking great pain . He reached out and pulled her into his chest while saying, “Lan’er, I’m here . ”

If she was going to be like this, she might as well cry it out!

It was evident that her body was spent . In the past, summoning the Fire Phoenix would knock her out cold for at least two to three days . This time around, she woke up in only six hours .

Azurite came up to them in soft steps . Upon seeing that Feng Tianlan had awakened, she reminded gently, “Miss, Young Master Wu sent me to tell you that they’ll be setting off soon . They’re worried about missing the chosen hour for the wedding . ”

Feng Tianlan’s eyes widened immediately upon hearing those words . With hope-filled eyes, she turned to Azurite saying, “Nansheng…” is still alive, right?

Azurite dared not look into Feng Tianlan’s hopeful eyes . She lowered her head and answered, “Young Master Wu said that the princess will always be the wife he would marry, no matter what happened to her . She would be his wife for life . ”

Feng Tianlan gripped harder as the hope in her eyes slowly diminished . Two drops of tears finally rolled down from the corner of her eyes . So it wasn’t a dream . Everything was real .

“As for that dowry maid, she’s currently locked up and awaiting interrogation . ” Si Mobai gently brushed Feng Tianlan’s back . He could not ease her deep pain of losing a close friend, so the only thing he could do was direct that pain to somewhere else .

Feng Tianlan stiffened, and balled her fists even tighter .

“As for those self-combustors who attacked yesterday, their Spiritual Forces were forcibly boosted through the use of restricted drugs . They set this up to be a guaranteed kill to wipe out everyone within a hundred-mile radius . ”

Si Mobai’s voice was icy, and it seeped into Feng Tianlan’s heart . It numbed the pain while fanning her hatred .

Meaning that, if not for Feng Tianlan’s sudden outburst of spiritual strength that stopped those self-combustors, not just Gu Nansheng — but even Feng Tianlan herself, this town that they were in, and the sparse satellite villages surrounding them — everything would be reduced to ashes .

“I’ll go see Nansheng . ” Feng Tianlan sat up straight . The hatred churning in her had made her calmer, so calm that it was almost inhuman .

Si Mobai took a long look at her and sighed in his heart . He helped her up and dressed her, then accompanied her to Gu Nansheng’s room .

This room was where Gu Nansheng’s wedding ceremony was supposed to start, so red stickers with the wedding character of ‘Xi’, meaning double happiness, had been put up everywhere . Even the windows were decorated with paper cuttings designed in pairs . It was supposed to be a joyous and lively affair, but now, the inside was filled with somberness .

The moment Feng Tianlan appeared, Wu Qi’s gaze filled with hatred shot over at once . However, he could only snap his head indignantly the other way when he saw Si Mobai . He had lost his cool the night before and tried to kill Feng Tianlan, but Si Mobai had managed to beat him up till he could not stand without lifting a finger .

When he got back his senses, he knew that he should not have blamed Feng Tianlan . However, he could not stop the hatred spilling forth . Those people were obviously here to kill Feng Tianlan, but in the end, she dragged the princess into her mess .

Wu Yuan simply raised his eyes and took a mild glance at her . Then, he turned to Gu Nansheng, who lay on the bed as though she was just asleep .

Feng Tianlan walked to the side of her bed and looked at Gu Nansheng . She was dressed in an entirely red wedding dress, and her hair had been combed and styled to perfection while her makeup was thickly laid on . For the sake of auspiciousness, they had applied some rouge on her cheeks, making her look flushed . Her eyes were shut tight, like she was still in deep slumber .

Feng Tianlan remembered the scene in the palace where Gu Nansheng, in her bright red wedding dress, asked if she looked good .

“Of course you look good, you’re the most beautiful bride in the world . ” Feng Tianlan broke into a smile as she said to Wu Yuan, “We should almost be at the auspicious hour . Let me carry her into the bridal sedan . Back then…”

Back then, when they were in the palace, Nansheng said that she was nervous and wished for Feng Tianlan to stay . She had wanted to talk with her, but Feng Tianlan turned her down, citing inappropriateness . If only…
