Chapter 559 They Are Almost There

This made the girls and aunts in the room laugh.

The thing was originally kept by the bride. They also saw Xiao Yu's impatient look. The prince really loved the bride.

After all, who can not love such a beautiful bride?

Except Shen Qingluan. She was almost swallowed up by jealousy when she saw half of it. She walked out unbearably.

What she couldn't tolerate was not only Gu Fei's beauty, but also the tenderness in Xiao Yu's eyes.

It hurt her eyes and her heart.

Shen Qingluan's nails dug into her flesh. When she walked outside, she ignored the female guests who greeted her and returned to her yard with a gloomy face.

Xiao Yu started to chase people away, "Qing'er, the banquet has started outside, come and join the aunts for the banquet."

After saying this, the aunts laughed again, "Why, does the prince think we are disturbing you two?"

"Even if we go, won't you go out to toast us?"

Xiao Yu bowed to the aunts, "Aunts, please let my nephew go."

The aunts laughed so hard that they left the new house.

Lian'er, Yan'er, Gu Fei and Xiao Yu were left in the room.

The phoenix crown on Gu Fei's head was very heavy. When she saw that everyone had left, she quickly called Lian'er and Yan'er to take it off for her.

The two took off the phoenix crown. Gu Fei saw Xiao Yu staring at her in the mirror. She pushed him awkwardly, "Are you really not going out? You have to have dinner."

Xiao Yu said, "I'm not going out. I'll have someone bring in a table of food and wine for the two of us to eat."

He stood up and walked to the door and told Huaping to order food and wine, and explained Gu Fei's taste in detail.

Just as he was about to turn around, a little girl came over, "My Lord, Master Shitou is at the second gate. He said he has something urgent to do with my Lord."

Xiao Yu walked quickly to the second gate. Shitou was anxious. Seeing Xiao Yu coming out, he whispered, "My Lord, the eunuch Zhao who came to deliver the imperial edict is not far from Ping'an City. What should I do?"

Eunuch Zhao was delayed for a day because of diarrhea. He was afraid of missing his job, so he got a carriage and traveled day and night for several days. He was almost broken.

He had to travel during the day and rest at night.

After rushing and hurrying, it was already the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, and he was finally not far from Ping'an City.

Xiao Yu frowned after hearing what Shitou said, "What should I do? You still need to ask me. No matter what, he can't enter the city tonight."

Shitou said bitterly, "Master, this is really difficult to deal with. We can't kill him, can we?"

"We can't steal his imperial edict either. Anyone can see that it must be done by the prince. I'm afraid the emperor will be furious."

Xiao Yu was very annoyed. Who knew that Eunuch Zhao would not stop even when he had diarrhea? He couldn't take action frequently, which was indeed too conspicuous.

But now, he and Xiao Fei will have their wedding night soon, and he doesn't want anyone to disturb them!

He frowned, "How far are they?"

Shitou said, "We are almost at the official post station, only more than 30 miles away."

30 miles, if the carriage really runs, it will arrive in less than half an hour.

Xiao Yu said coldly, "I can't care about so much. After about ten miles past the official post station, set up some obstacles on the road to make sure their horses can't run."

If Eunuch Zhao doesn't have a carriage, he can only walk. It will take more than two hours to walk twenty miles.

By then, it will probably be four or five o'clock in the morning. He doesn't believe that Eunuch Zhao will come to announce the decree in the middle of the night.

For now, he can only postpone it.

Shitou had no choice but to take Xiao Yu's order and take people out.

Xiao Yu turned back.

The food in the kitchen was ready and had been delivered to the house.

Gu Fei was wearing a bright red wedding dress, sitting under the candlelight, waiting for him.
