Chapter 593 Ningning Is Gone?

Early next morning.

As soon as it got dark, thousands of firecrackers were set off in Xiangyun Village.

Although according to the procedure, Shen Ningning had to wait until Geng Tie passed the royal ancestral hall before the engagement could be officially made by the Ministry of Rites.

However, everyone knows that Shen Ningning is already the confirmed crown princess.

These days, many people from outside come to the vicinity of Xiangyun Village, and some people dig some soil from Xiangyun Village and take them back.

Everyone believed that Xiangyun Village and Langshan, a place where phoenixes could fly, must be treasured places for outstanding people.

Since it is a treasure land, every plant and tree here, even a handful of soil, is blessed!

The Black Wolf King was invited by Xie Suzhi to live in the Xie Mansion last night.

Because today is a special day, relatives and friends can send Shen Ningning to the palace. Except that they cannot enter the ancestral hall, they can watch her and Mo Lingwei enter hand in hand.

Xie Suzhi asked the Black Wolf King to follow him because today's grand occasion must be unprecedented.

As Shen Ningning's wolf father, the Black Wolf King could not be absent, for fear that he would be blocked by the sea of ​​people and would not be able to come.

You know, the people even want to take away the soil of Xiangyun Village. When they see the Black Wolf King, the legendary wolf king who raised Shen Ningning, why don't everyone endure their fear and step forward to touch it?

So Xie Suzhi asked the Black Wolf King to follow him.

Shen Ningning will enter the palace from the imperial army.

Everyone happily gathered at the foot of Langshan Mountain, and nearby villagers and people also came to watch the excitement.

Several rows of forbidden soldiers, wearing golden armor, were lined up tightly, standing in the early morning light, waiting for Shen Ningning to come down the mountain.

The eighteen-carriage sedan placed between them was hollowed out on all sides and made of gold wire and white ivory. It was hung with fluttering purple gauze and was blown by the breeze. It looked particularly elegant and dignified.

At this moment, in the palace.

Mo Lingwei was already dressed neatly, with a jade crown tying up his hair. The purple dragon robe that symbolized the prince's brilliance and dignity was unparalleled.

He paced back and forth in Zichen Palace and waited. It would be an auspicious time after Shen Ningning arrived. According to the procedure, he could not go to the ancestral hall until then.

But just the waiting time made him a little anxious.

Chen Shaobei stood in the hall, watching Mo Lingwei sit there for a while, then stood up impatiently, and ran to the window to look at the bright sky.

"Your Highness, can't you just sit there for a while? Even if the imperial army has already gone to pick up the princess, it will take at least half an hour to get here."

Langshan was not close to the palace, not to mention that the streets were already crowded with people.

Along the way, there were people waiting for Funing to pass by, hoping to get a piece of her blessing.

Mo Lingwei had known it for a long time, but he still couldn't bear the excitement in his heart.

He pursed his lips and said, "Say, Shen Ningning won't regret it, right?"

Chen Shaobei smiled: "What do you regret? Do you regret marrying His Highness? As far as I know, Miss Shen has a character that she will never regret once she makes a decision."

Mo Lingwei walked around the hall.

"You have confirmed all the procedures, is it okay?"

"I've checked everything, and there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, there are six officials from the Ministry of Rites helping to supervise. Everything is ready."

Mo Lingwei thought about what other hidden dangers he might have missed.

Suddenly, he remembered: "How is Father today? Is the dragon in good health?"

Chen Shaobei raised his eyebrows, a little confused.

"Your Highness means..."

"Father, please don't faint and pass out today."

"I think as long as His Majesty doesn't anger His Majesty, this situation shouldn't happen."

The two of them were talking when the emperor's pretending to be angry voice came from the door: "What? Are you afraid that I will die today and your wedding will not go smoothly? Humph, you gave me two days' worth of medicine yesterday. I don’t even want to faint, I’m so energetic that I couldn’t even sleep last night!”

Chen Shaobei laughed helplessly and stepped aside.

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips: "That's why my father is in particularly good spirits today."

This is true, the emperor always gets tired easily.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Today is a great event. I can see you and Ning Ning achieve righteous cultivation. It feels like a big stone has fallen to the ground in my heart. I can finally feel relieved."

After saying that, the emperor turned around and asked the eunuch: "What time is it? Has the princess already set off?"

The eldest eunuch took one look at him and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, according to the time, the princess is already on her way to the palace at this time."

Mo Lingwei immediately straightened his clothes and sat on the chair, covering up his inner excitement with calmness.

However.

Something happened over there at Langshan.

The Imperial Guards arrived early as agreed upon and kept waiting. However, they did not expect that a stick of incense had passed since the time they arrived to pick up Shen Ningning, and Shen Ningning had not yet come down from Langshan.

Everyone also changed from extremely excited expressions to eager doubts.

Someone was chatting -

"Why hasn't the princess come down yet? It's almost the time of two sticks of incense, right?"

"Ah! Could it be that the princess regrets it?"

"No way!"

The people's discussions reached the ears of the leader, Lu Fu.

He sat high on his horse, tilted his head slightly, and glanced behind him with a stern gaze. The people naturally closed their mouths.

Lu Fu looked at the lush green Langshan Mountain bathed in the sun.

He thought for a moment, then immediately got off his horse and handed the whip to Pei Yin.

"You guys wait for me here, I'll go into Langshan alone to see the situation."

"Lord Commander, shall we accompany you?"

"No need," Lu Fu quickly refused: "Langshan is the home of Princess Funing. Without her permission, none of us should rush in. But today is special. I'm afraid something has happened, so I'm going to take a look. You don't need to follow."

After Lu Fu finished speaking, he walked towards the road leading into the mountain.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he saw Grandma Qin riding Lang Si, coming down quickly.

Grandma Qin looked flustered, holding a letter in her hand.

"Ningning is gone, Ningning is gone!"

Lu Fu hurriedly went up and took the letter from Grandma Qin.

He glanced at it roughly, and his face suddenly became serious.

"Return to the palace immediately!" Lu Fu grabbed the letter, hurriedly mounted his horse, and then left with a large group of imperial guards like a gust of wind.

After he left, the villagers of Xiangyun Village who were familiar with Grandma Qin all surrounded him.

"Grandma Qin, what's going on? Ningning is gone, where did she go? Is she not engaged?"

Grandma Qin was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.

She shook her head: "I don't know either. I can't read. The wolf pack told me that Ningning left directly. She left at midnight last night!"

At the gate of the capital, Shen Ningning's good friends prepared a dragon and lion dance team waiting for her.

Lu Shaoyuan spent a lot of money to invite a bunch of opera teams with loud gongs and drums.

"When you see the princess's sedan chair coming, you should play music immediately. You must create momentum so that all living things within a hundred miles can feel our joy."

Ye Shangyi and Qi Xiuwei looked at him and shook their heads silently: "You are really rich and powerful."

Liang Yici waited for a long time and asked indifferently: "It's been so long, is she coming or not?"

Lu Shaoyuan sighed: "Why rush? Today is so important. Ningning must dress up. It takes time for a girl to dress up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shangyi pointed to a place not far away: "Huh? Lu Shaoyuan, that seems to be your eldest brother, Commander Lu."

Lu Shaoyuan waved excitedly and signaled the opera troupe: "Get ready, Ningning is coming!"

Liang Yici can see far away, and now squinted his eyes. After looking for a long time, he suddenly frowned.

"No, there is no one in the sedan chair."

"What?" Everyone was startled and looked at it carefully.

Soon, Lu Fu, with a huge number of imperial guards, carrying an empty sedan chair, had arrived in front of them.

Lu Shaoyuan quickly jumped out to block the way: "Brother! Where is Ningning?"

Lu Fu was in a hurry to return to the palace to report, and had no time to explain to his brother. He pushed him aside with a whip and said: "The princess is gone. I have to inform His Highness of this matter immediately. Don't come to make trouble."

After that, he left.

Ye Shangyi and others were left staring at each other: "What? Ningning is gone?"
