Chapter 1667 Things Done Wrong
Tonight's events should have been flawless.
Because Luo Qiu had told him that she had a very capable person helping her.
With that person, anything can be accomplished.
But what was promised to be foolproof did indeed fail.
For this, they even lost a rare and precious horse. That horse was truly exceptional and rare; it could understand all commands and was capable of traveling a thousand miles a day at an incredibly fast speed.
Calling it the Moonlight Steed is an exaggeration, but that horse does have one advantage: it can find its way in the dark, and when it gallops out, it is like a streak of light, extremely majestic and extremely beautiful.
For a man, such a BMW is worth as much as a three- or four-courtyard mansion in Beijing.
That horse was acquired by Prime Minister Shen by chance. He kept it in the northwest and cherished it dearly.
But now the horse has sunk into the late autumn lake, and he doesn't even dare to try to pull it out, because it would be useless anyway.
Their original plan was simply to make the horse cause a little commotion and an accident, then Zhou Shiyue would get into some trouble, and Shen Xiangjun would rush forward to take the opportunity to tie their marriage threads together.
Afterwards, the horse would carry Prince Jin and Shen Xiangjun back together. Under the moonlight, its front hooves were raised high, majestic and awe-inspiring, and its body shimmered with silver light. When it arrived in front of the emperor, the horse slowly knelt down, carrying Prince Jin to submit before the emperor.
Let that scene become an indelible memory in the Emperor's heart.
How to control this horse is what the master behind Luo Qiu needs to do.
Previously, Luo Qiu had told him that the expert could use a method similar to the matchmaking thread of the Old Man Under the Moon to forcibly bind Prince Jin and Shen Xiangjun, making Prince Jin marry Shen Xiangjun. Prime Minister Shen was actually half-believing and half-doubting.
But later, late at night, Luo Qiu took him to the street corner and saw the roof beast.
It spat out long, faintly reddish threads from its mouth. Luo Qiu held his hand and raised it up. Prime Minister Shen could also see the red threads tied to their wrists, and only then did he believe it.
Luo Qiu had told him that the master was a hermit in the Xuanmen sect.
Based on his cultivation level, he is even more powerful than the people of the First Profound Sect. He only helps her because he once owed her a favor.
The so-called "marriage line" or similar sayings may just be a concept, a skill within the esoteric arts, which is why Prime Minister Shen felt that the matter was foolproof.
Once the marriage between Prince Jin and Shen Xiangjun is finalized, Luo Qiu will ask the expert behind the scenes to help them support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
After that, the Shen family, along with the Prince of Jin and the Crown Prince, formed a trinity, an inseparable relationship.
By then, Prime Minister Shen will be willing to assist the Crown Prince, properly educate his grandson, and gradually undermine the Emperor's power, making the Shen family incredibly powerful...
Everything was planned perfectly, and so many days had been spent arranging it, yet it all fell apart at the last hurdle.
Now Prime Minister Shen couldn't help but wonder if Prince Jin had a powerful patron behind him.
How did he manage to escape?
Since Shen Xiangjun cannot marry Prince Jin, then Prince Jin is the person Prime Minister Shen wants to get rid of.
Prime Minister Shen also didn't want to assist the Crown Prince; he estimated that a different candidate would be needed. This relationship couldn't be tightly bound together, as it ultimately couldn't be trusted.
"Has the young lady woken up yet?" Prime Minister Shen asked.
"Master, Miss has woken up..." Shen Xiangjun's maid trembled slightly.
Prime Minister Shen stood up and went to see Shen Xiangjun with a cold face.
Shen Xiangjun sat leaning against the bed, looking dazed.
"What's going on between you and Yu Xu?" Prime Minister Shen asked coldly as soon as he entered.
Upon hearing Yu Xu's name, Shen Xiangjun trembled, looked up sharply, and subconsciously said, "Father, I really had no contact with him whatsoever before."
Prime Minister Shen roared, "Then why is he so determined to marry you?! Do you know what he did tonight?"
Shen Xiangjun had already asked the maid beside her when she woke up.
The maid said that Yu Xu had brought her back, and that both of them were wearing wet clothes, and that Yu Xu had carried her off the carriage.
Although Shen Xiangjun has been denying it and saying that she has no relationship with Yu Xu, there is another voice in her heart that keeps saying that she wants to marry Yu Xu.
Shen Xiangjun raised her wrist and held it up in front of Prime Minister Shen, her voice trembling with anxiety and fear as she asked, "Father, what exactly is this thing you made me wear before? You said it was a marriage thread, and that it was a marriage thread between me and Prince Jin, but now it's clearly tied to Yu Xu's hand!"
Prime Minister Shen looked at her wrist. He couldn't see anything now. The red glowing thread he saw that night probably required specific conditions, or perhaps the expert behind Luo Qiu did something.
He couldn't see it now, but after hearing Shen Xiangjun's words, Prime Minister Shen instantly understood. He said, "You mean, Yu Xu is determined to marry you now because this thing has bound you together?"
"Yes!"
Shen Xiangjun said hurriedly, "I have a very strange thought in my mind right now, I want to marry him, but I'm sure there was really nothing between us before. Father, the most important thing now is to get Aunt Luo to help me untie this thing as soon as possible. What if I really marry Yu Xu?"
Yu Xu wasn't even on his father's shortlist of sons-in-law, was he?
Prime Minister Shen's face darkened. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Your concubine Luo has now been imprisoned in the Dali Temple by Lin Rong."
Shen Xiangjun was shocked. "What?"
"And what about the Prince of Jin?"
"The Prince of Jin's marriage has certainly not been affected. You still haven't told me what else happened on the pleasure boat?"
"Lu Zhaoling!"
Shen Xiangjun shouted, "Father, Lu Zhaoling is on the pleasure boat for some reason! I don't know how she got on there. Not only her, but also her master and her junior brother are there!"
“Also, Aunt Luo,” Shen Xiangjun’s expression changed as she remembered, “she didn’t seem to want to protect me either, but instead wanted to push me out! She seems to have a grudge against Lu Zhaoling’s master and is determined to get rid of him!”
"Tell me in detail!" Prime Minister Shen's face was gloomy.
If that's the case, Luo Qiu has been hiding a lot from him!
It will take Prime Minister Shen quite some time to figure out what happened on the pleasure boat.
While they were busy with these things, Lu Zhaoling had already finished her makeup.
The old lady carefully combed her hair.
With each stroke of the comb, a lucky phrase is recited softly.
One comb brings wealth and no worries; two combs bring health and peace of mind.
Three combs and you'll have children and grandchildren everywhere; four combs and you'll have a harmonious and loving marriage.
The red candles shone brightly.
The person in the bronze mirror is bright and beautiful.
Lu Zhaoling was a little dazed.
She's really getting married.
