Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Shangguan Ling was filled with dread: "What kind of people are those in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, each one more ruthless than the last. But with this, I'm afraid this wedding feast won't end well. Shall we still go to the Jin Prince Mansion to join the excitement?"

Tan'er leaned forward: "Is there good food?"

Meng Qianqian affectionately touched her head: "What do you want to eat?"

Tan'er tilted her head: "Braised pork!"

Meng Qianqian smiled and said: "This dish should be at the banquet."

Tan'er excitedly waved her arms and ran forward: "Let's go eat—"

Meng Qianqian chuckled, stepping to follow.

Shangguan Ling glanced at the three big men fighting ferociously, then looked at the Young Madam heading towards the banquet with Tan'er: "Wait, the bride is gone, and you're still going to eat?"

Meng Qianqian curved her lips: "Perhaps there's more drama to unfold."

Swish!

Yu Zichuan on the rooftop had already run out of sight.

Shangguan Ling's mouth twitched violently: You're never this eager when driving!

In the mountain forest on the other side of the cliff, Gongsun Liuying was dressed in a phoenix crown and red wedding outfit, sitting quietly under a big tree, waiting for her mother to send someone to pick her up.

After Yan Xiaojiu was sent off in the bridal sedan, she disguised herself and left Thousand Mechanism Pavilion through the back door, then was escorted here by the masters arranged by her mother.

To avoid arousing suspicion, they left quickly after delivering her.

Judging by the time, Yan Xiaojiu should have already fallen off the cliff.

But why hadn't her mother's people arrived yet?

Was there trouble along the way?

Did Yan Xiaojiu wake up halfway?

Is that damned girl so hard to kill?

Being able to draw the Green Simurgh Sword, she was naturally no ordinary person.

But to say she could escape unscathed, she didn't believe it.

The whole plan was flawless, even Grandfather's subordinates had arrived, she didn't believe Yan Xiaojiu could survive?

"Yan Xiaojiu, oh Yan Xiaojiu, you should have agreed when I offered you a reward. Originally, it would have been enough just to leave the Imperial Grandson, but now it costs you your life."

"It's all your own doing, blame no one else, don't come looking for me as a wandering ghost in the afterlife, be good and reborn, don't be foolish again in your next life."

She murmured coldly to herself, suddenly hearing a slow, heavy footstep.

Someone was coming!

Because she was wearing the bridal veil, she couldn't see the person's features, but judging by the footsteps, it was probably a man.

The person stopped ten steps away from her.

She didn't speak.

The person also remained silent.

She asked curiously: "You are——"

The person walked closer to her, stopping in front of her.

She pressed her lips together.

If not for waiting for the Imperial Grandson to unveil her, she would have——

Swish!

Her veil was unexpectedly lifted by the person.

She raised her head in shock.

At the moment she saw the familiar face, she was stunned.

Lu Qi looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes cold: "Miss Gongsun seems very surprised."

Gongsun Liuying's blood ran cold, her mind frozen as if in a daze before she finally recovered.

"I..."

She said, "The Commandery Prince finding me so quickly, Liuying is certainly surprised."

Lu Qi asked: "Are you surprised I arrived so fast, or that the person who came is me?"

Gongsun Liuying saw the brief shadow passing through Lu Qi's eyes, her heart trembled, but she replied as usual: "What does the Commandery Prince mean by that?"

Lu Qi smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Gongsun Liuying shifted her gaze from his, looking him up and down, noticing for the first time he was holding a heavy bundle.

Her expression changed.

The person supposed to be lured here was the Imperial Grandson...

But it turned out to be Lu Qi...

Who can tell him what exactly happened...

It couldn't be... he couldn't have killed the Imperial Grandson...

Could it be that the bundle contained the Imperial Grandson's head?!

Lu Qi dropped the bundle in front of her.

Gongsun Liuying instinctively closed her eyes.

"Put it on."

Lu Qi said.

Gongsun Liuying opened her eyes.

The bundle unraveled, revealing a dazzling wedding dress scattered on the ground.

This was her wedding dress!

She had hidden it in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, planning to wear it when marrying the Imperial Grandson—

Lu Qi bent down with a noble air, his commanding and domineering presence enveloping her.

He emphasized each word as he said: "I, the Commandery Prince, say it again—put on the wedding dress you were supposed to wear to marry me."

After speaking, he sealed her inner strength with acupoint.

Gongsun Liuying was taken aback, never expecting him to treat her this way.

Was this the Prince Jian she knew?

Lu Qi let out a cold laugh: "You wouldn't be intending to wear it to marry another man, would you?"

Gongsun Liuying's eyelashes fluttered.

His sharp gaze seemed to pierce through all her thoughts.

Moreover, within his dangerous eyes, she saw a glimpse of unknown madness.

She looked at him incredulously.

Lu Qi said: "In that case, I, as the Commandery Prince, will have to kill you."

Gongsun Liuying shivered with fear, her blood freezing once more.

Thinking she could easily manipulate him, yet in the end, she was the one being threatened.

Lu Qi turned around, saying coldly: "I'll give you ten breaths."

-

Jin Prince Mansion.

As the bride was delayed, the guests started to gossip.

Not sure who first leaked the news, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Prince Mansion knew the eldest daughter of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion had been kidnapped.

Prince Jin furrowed his brow angrily: "A bunch of useless fools! I repeatedly urged caution to ensure no mishaps at the grand banquet!"

The Personal Guard Leader who returned to the mansion knelt on one knee: "This subordinate acknowledges the fault! Please Your Highness punish us!"

Prince Jin clenched his fist: "Where is the Crown Prince?"

"In the garden playing pitch-pot."

"He really has time to spare!"

Prince Jin stormed off to the garden.

The Crown Prince saw him and grinned: "Big brother, congratulations."

Prince Jin coldly asked: "Was it your doing?"

The Crown Prince innocently replied: "Oh, it's me, sorry, I got too carried away and broke big brother's table, I'll replace it for you!"

Prince Jin glanced at the stone table split in two, not bothering to ponder where the Crown Prince got the strength: "It truly wasn't you?"

"Well, besides the stone table, I also broke big brother's—"
