Chapter 419 Getting angry
The Prime Minister also knew about this. Seeing that Cheng Kun was still sleeping with him despite so many people surrounding him, he got so angry that he slapped him twice.
Today's wedding is no ordinary one. This is an imperial decree issued by the emperor himself. If there is any mistake, wouldn't it be a disguised form of disobeying the emperor's order?
“Go and invite all the famous doctors in the capital. They must wake the young master up as soon as possible. We must not miss the auspicious time.” The prime minister flicked his sleeves in anger and strode away.
The power of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still very great. Soon, the room where Cheng Kun lived was filled with doctors, who were whispering to each other and discussing whether there was any good solution.
First he was given sobering soup, then sobering tea, and the doctor suggested acupuncture. All the methods that could sober him up were tried, but Cheng Kun still didn't wake up, and he didn't even show any sign of wanting to wake up.
This made everyone in the Prime Minister's Office very worried. Why did such a situation happen at the critical moment?
Li Xiaoxiao was pulled out of bed early in the morning. Today was her wedding day, and according to the rules, she had to dress up.
Sun came with panda eyes. She hadn't slept all night and was anxious and angry.
Li Xiaoxiao in the mirror was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown, with delicate makeup on her face. She looked even more radiant and beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairies in the sky.
Knowing that the Prime Minister's Mansion had ill intentions, her daughter still decided to jump into the fire pit. Sun's heart ached. If they had not come to the capital, it would have been great. Xiaoxiao would definitely be able to marry someone she loved.
It was too late to say anything now. Sun felt a sudden bitterness in her heart, thinking that it was all because of her own uselessness that her daughter suffered.
"Mom, everything was fine, why are you crying again?" Li Xiaoxiao sat in front of the dressing mirror. Through the reflection of the bronze mirror, she saw Sun secretly wiping away tears.
"No, I didn't cry." Sun refused to admit it, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a forced arc, which was uglier than crying.
"You said you didn't cry, but I saw it all." Li Xiaoxiao stood up from her seat and waved to the maids who were doing her makeup, signaling them to go out.
Soon, mother and daughter were the only ones left in the room. She knew that Sun was worried about her. She had been afraid that if they knew about it, it would cause other troubles. Now that it was time, it didn't hurt to tell her.
"Mom, Cheng Kun will not come to marry me today, don't worry." Li Xiaoxiao raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Sun's eyes, her heart deeply moved.
"Are you serious? How do you know?" Sun grasped the key point of Li Xiaoxiao's words and asked anxiously.
"I told you a long time ago that you would not marry Cheng Kun, but you just didn't believe it." Li Xiaoxiao pressed Sun's shoulders and asked her to sit on the stool.
"Why doesn't he come? He went to the emperor to ask for an imperial decree." Hearing her say this, Sun was secretly happy but also very puzzled.
"Because of him?" Li Xiaoxiao said in a relaxed tone, and after a slight pause, she continued, "He went to the brothel last night and is still unconscious. He won't wake up for several hours."
"How do you know so much? Did you..." Sun was shocked, but she couldn't say the rest.
"Mom, look at what you are thinking. It wasn't me. It was Si Yi who gave Cheng Kun some drugs to make him sleep more." Li Xiaoxiao refused to admit that she did it.
"That's why you said Cheng Kun would not come to marry you." Sun's eyes brightened up as she spoke. The clouds of worry that had been hanging over her for many days finally cleared up and she saw the light of day.
"Yes, now you can rest assured." Li Xiaoxiao nodded. The reason why she cooperated so well was that she was waiting for Cheng Kun. This was the emperor's decree. If he didn't come to marry her today, it would be disobeying the emperor's order.
At that time, hmph, let’s see how you end up. I kindly advised him to cancel the engagement, but he refused. He deserves it for what he got!
"Will the Prime Minister's Office let someone else take over?" Sun thought of this possibility again.
"That's possible, but the man I married is Cheng Kun. If he can't come and lets someone else come on his behalf, I will file a complaint with the emperor and accuse him of deceiving the emperor." Li Xiaoxiao had already thought of a countermeasure.
Cheng Kun was in the capital, but he didn't come to marry her. Instead, he sent someone else to replace her. Then she had every reason to refuse to be Hua Jiao. Not only that, she also wanted to go to the imperial city to file a complaint.
It would be best if the whole city knew about it. Then everyone would know that the reason Cheng Kun couldn't marry her was because he went to a brothel the night before and was so exhausted that he lay in bed and couldn't get out.
Whenever Li Xiaoxiao thought of this scene, she wanted to laugh. Even if someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion came out to explain, what would it matter? This kind of thing would only make things worse.
Li Xiaoxiao was relaxed and happy, and no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion dared to breathe. The reason was simple: the auspicious time had arrived, and all methods had been tried, but Cheng Kun was still sleeping soundly.
The Prime Minister was furious and dragged Cheng Kun's two followers out and gave each of them fifty lashes. As you can imagine, that was a disguised way of asking for their lives.
The room was filled with big red wedding characters, and the prime minister wanted to tear them all down.
Even the Prime Minister's wife stayed away, fearing that she would be affected. However, the more she tried to avoid trouble, the more trouble came to her.
The prime minister glanced at her, his face clouded with gloom, and walked a few steps to her, raised his hand and slapped her in the face without hesitation.
The force was so great that she fell to the ground. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth. The prime minister's wife covered her beaten face and was too timid to say a word.
"It's all your fault. You spoiled my good son and turned him into this person."
"I'm sorry, sir. It's all my fault. I will correct it in the future." In front of so many people, the Prime Minister's wife felt ashamed, but she didn't dare to resist.
On weekdays, she is the dignified and elegant prime minister's wife, respected by others, and she is extremely affectionate with the prime minister, but in reality, this is not the case.
The prime minister had a bad temper and would hit her whenever he was not satisfied with something. In the past, he would hit her in private, but today, perhaps he was so angry that he hit her in public.
He was the most powerful person in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. In this situation, anyone who dared to persuade him would take a step back, lower their heads and dare not say a word, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, pretending not to see anything.
Just then, Cheng Yun'er heard the news and rushed over. As soon as she entered the house, she saw this scene. When she saw her mother lying on the ground, she hurried forward to help her up.
He glanced at the people in the room and said calmly, "All of you go down."
Everyone was as if they had been pardoned, and they all quickly withdrew, leaving only the prime minister, the prime minister's wife, Cheng Yun'er, oh, and Cheng Kun who was lying down.
