81 Fulfillment

The details that he had deliberately ignored in the past were still vivid in his mind now that he thought about them.

There was always a light in her eyes when she saw Kang Wang;

She said that he was like a brother to her;

She told him to let her go;

…

She had also shouted Kang Wang’s name just now. The person she had chosen was Kang Wang, not him!

The person she was protecting had always been Kang Wang, not him!

One by one, it was obvious that he had been turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to everything.

His Rong Rong had never been his. He was not in her heart at all…

Blood was still seeping from the wound, soaking his palm. His dark eyes faded to a desperate gray.

“Tick, tick!”

Blood dripped, forming a pool of dark red blood on the smooth marble floor. The thick smell of blood filled the air…

Even though Madam Gu had been through many storms, she could not help but feel terrified at this moment. Her entire body was weak, as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away, and she could not move at all.

A thought lingered in her mind: It came true. Everything came true!

Everything Gu Yanfei said had come true.

It had also happened in three days, as Gu Yanfei said.

Madam Gu’s heart skipped a beat. All the blood in her body rushed to her head and she felt dizzy.

Time passed slowly in silence and the atmosphere became stiffer and stiffer. Everyone was hesitant, conflicted, and shocked. No one expected Fang Mingfeng to need a doctor.

In the end, the first person to break the silence was Prince Li.

Prince Li slammed his palm on the table. His face was as calm as water, and his beard was almost flying with anger.

“It’s bad luck to see blood today. It’s better to call off this marriage,” Prince Li said bluntly.

Initially, Prince Li did not have many objections to this marriage. As long as the Empress Dowager and Kang Wang were willing, the Emperor would not object. However, after seeing the farce just now, he completely changed his mind.

It was a disaster to marry a promiscuous wife.

When Madam Gu heard this, the dizziness in her head intensified. Her temples throbbed violently and her head throbbed.

She took a deep breath and wanted to persuade him gently, but she heard a cat meow outside the window. “Meow!”

Madam Gu looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her pupils constricted as she instinctively looked over.

Outside the window, a red plum tree swayed crazily. Red petals fell like rain, as if a rain of blood had fallen, but there was no sign of the cat.

Gu Yanfei’s words from that day echoed in Madam Gu’s ears again.

Could it be that Spiritual Master Lingxiao was really some otherworldly expert, and Gu Yanfei was not talking nonsense. Could she really predict things?!

Madam Gu’s eyes were dark and turbulent as her thoughts froze on Gu Yanfei’s last sentence. “I’ll wait for you in Yuheng Garden.”

This girl was waiting for her to beg her!!

Madam Gu’s expression did not look too good, and Chu You’s expression was even darker.

“Imperial Uncle, the marriage can’t be abandoned!” Chu You forcefully stopped Prince Li, who was about to leave. His eagle eyes flickered with a cold and sinister light.

Prince Li frowned tightly, not hiding his displeasure. He felt that Chu You was simply obsessed with a woman.

“Ning Zhi, move aside!” Prince Li’s voice was cold and solemn.

Prince Li addressed Kang Wang as Ning Zhi.

Chu You was naturally unhappy, and his thin lips were pursed tightly, but he did not move. He said word by word, “Uncle, the Empress Dowager has issued an imperial decree. Today is an auspicious day.”

As he spoke, he released a gloomy and fierce aura.

Kang Wang actually used the Empress Dowager to suppress him?! Prince Li was not frightened. He was the royal sect’s decree, and even when the previous Emperor was still alive, he would respect him.

He snatched the big red betrothal letter with the ink on it from the desk and tore it half open.

The sound was infinitely magnified in Gu Yunrong’s ears, like lightning and thunder.

She could have put aside everything in the Gu family and stood higher than Gu Yanfei. No one would dare to point at her and say that she was just the child of a slave anymore. But now, it was as if a pair of hands had forcefully pushed her down from the clouds…

Prince Li threw the torn betrothal letter to the ground in disgust.

“I’ll answer to the Empress Dowager for this.” He ignored Chu You’s pestering and walked around him.

Looking at the betrothal letter that had been torn in half, Chu You’s eyes almost popped out.

He wanted to stop him again, but Prince Li’s personal guard immediately stood up, his scabbard horizontal and his eyebrows raised.

Chu You could only watch helplessly and with raging anger as Prince Li left with a wave of his hand.

All of this was because of Fang Mingfeng!

Chu You really wanted to cut Fang Mingfeng into pieces, but there were priorities. He could not sit back and watch Prince Li spout nonsense in front of the Empress Dowager.

Giving Gu Yunrong a comforting look, Chu You hurriedly chased after Prince Li. “Uncle!”

Gu Jian’s mouth opened and closed, and his face alternated between green and white. At this moment, he finally found his voice and shouted, “Someone, go get a doctor!”

Empress Dowager Yuan had issued a marriage decree. To the Gu family, this was originally a joyous occasion, but now, such a joyous occasion had actually ended in blood.

Gu Jian was furious, but if the British Crown Prince died in their Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it would only make the situation worse.

“No need,” Fang Mingfeng said dejectedly. He covered his wound with one hand and turned around.

When he turned around, he glanced at Gu Yunrong again, his eyes filled with farewell. Gu Yunrong felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

He headed out, his back wobbly and unsteady, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Gu Yunrong wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she did not say a word.

She had to let him know that she was angry because his recklessness had ruined an important day in her life.

“Nephew, let me send you back to the residence.” Gu Jian stood up with his walking stick and gave Madam Wang a look.

No matter what, they had to personally send the injured Fang Mingfeng back to the British Monarchy and give him an explanation.

Gu Yunrong was in a daze and did not notice the passage of time. It was not until she heard Madam Gu call out weakly, “Bai Lu,” that she came back to her senses.

“Go and… invite the Second Lady over,” Madam Gu instructed in a difficult tone. Her turbid eyes flickered as she rubbed her temples with one hand.

Everything that happened today was really ominous!
