Chapter 610: 308: Wedding ceremony, collapse! Gui Qinshao breaks up!_2

Suddenly, Gui Qinshao’s heart trembled.

Ling Ao’s behavior was abnormal. He had dreamt of marrying her and now that his dream had come true, he should be utterly overjoyed and blissful.

But from his eyes, she couldn’t see any joy, only a deep uneasiness.

Gui Qinshao felt an icy chill throughout her body, her heart trembling, almost instinctively wanting to confront Ling Ao, asking if he had betrayed her to Zhi Li.

But she was not foolish enough to ask such a question in public.

The mysterious woman who had come to tell her had said the wedding cup would contain a drug that would cloud her senses, and after drinking it, she would not be able to distinguish whether it was Zhi Li or Ling Ao in the bridal chamber, thus being defiled in her confusion.

Then the pill given to her must be the antidote to the drug.

It would be simple to find out if her father and Ling Ao had really sold her to Zhi Li, just drink the wedding cup and see if she became unconscious.

Thereafter, Gui Qinshao’s heart was constantly on edge, her mind fixated on the wedding cup.

If she truly lost consciousness after drinking, then... then it would be as if the sky had fallen and the world had collapsed.

For Gui Qinshao, it would mean losing everything.

...

Zhi Li’s wedding oration had ended.

The next step was the wedding ceremony.

Gui Qinshao could only remember the upcoming wedding cup, waiting to uncover the final answer.

Thus, during the entire ceremony, she simply followed the maid of honor’s instructions, bowing to the sun, the moon, the earth, and her parents with Ling Ao, finally bowing to each other as husband and wife.

As for the wedding cup!

Some drink it during the ceremony, while others in the bridal chamber.

Today, after Ling Ao and Gui Qinshao bowed to each other, people immediately began to tease, urging the couple to affectionately drink the wedding cup.

At this moment, beneath her wedding veil, Gui Qinshao’s gaze was fixed tightly on Ling Ao.

She noticed that not even a strained smile remained on his face, his teeth clenched, his expression taut.

When the maid brought over two cups of wine, Ling Ao stared intensely at the one meant for Gui Qinshao, and then his face began to twitch.

At this point, Ling Ao could still save his dignity and love by simply pouring away Gui Qinshao’s cup of wine.

However, after his face twitched for a while, he picked up his own cup of wine.

Gui Qinshao was entirely chilled to the bone, but still clung to a final hope as she lifted her own cup.

The golden cup was exquisite beyond compare. The wine within was as red as blood, its intoxicating scent overwhelming.

It weighed only a few taels, but in Gui Qinshao’s hand, it felt as heavy as a thousand catties, her hand slightly trembling.

"Cross-cupped wine, cross-cupped wine..."

The crowd shouted loudly.

And Turing Duo, sitting in the wheelchair, also began to clap and cheer along.

Behind her, Tuli Yang leaned in and whispered softly, "There are so many people here, do you feel stifled? Would you like me to take you out for some fresh air?"

Since their marriage, Tuli Yang had always been this tender, showering her with endless love and care.

Moreover, he wished he could spend twenty-four hours a day with his wife Turing Duo, becoming anxious to the point of madness if he didn’t see her for half a day.

Turing Duo couldn’t imagine a man could be so tender, so good to a woman.

Such affection almost made Turing Duo feel guilty, but... she still had to harden her heart.

First, she had to kill Count Tuli Ming and then frame the Suo family of Tian Shui City for it.

Second, after she and Zhi Li had a child, she would kill Tuli Yang.

With that, Luan Yang City would be entirely in her grasp.

Now, Tuli Yang wanting to take her out was not about getting fresh air, but because he was worried that Turing Duo would feel inferior and self-pitying upon seeing the current scene, for Gui Qinshao, the bride, stood there proudly and beautifully like a peacock. Turing Duo, on the other hand, sat paralyzed in a wheelchair, and he feared his wife would be heartbroken.

But how could Turing Duo bear to leave? Because what might unfold next could be an extraordinarily good show!

Being extremely intimate with Zhi Li and even ready to conceive a child with him, Turing Duo obviously knew his thoughts well, even the idea to drug the wedding cup and let Zhi Li take Ling Ao’s place was hers.

And the maid who had taken the opportunity to inform Gui Qinshao earlier was also sent by Turing Duo.

Following Suo Lun’s death, the power struggle between Zhi Li and Zhi Yan had been settled, and Zhi Li’s ascension to the throne was a certainty.

Both Turing Duo and her father felt that the Gui family clan had reaped too many benefits, not only acquiring three hundred miles of territory from Tian Shui City but Ling Ao was also going to be the kingdom’s marshal in the future.

Furthermore, once Zhi Li had a taste of Gui Qinshao, he would surely not be willing to let go.

Thus, in the future, Gui Qinshao would be Ling Ao’s wife in name, but in reality, she was bound to become Zhi Li’s lover.

All men in the world were shallow, and Gui Qinshao was so beautiful, with such a voluptuous figure that, although her mind was not as brilliant as that of Turing Duo, one thing was certain: Zhi Li would favor Gui Qinshao more.

In turn, this would put Turing Duo and the Turing family at a greater disadvantage.

Therefore, it was necessary to sow discord between the Gui Clan and Zhi Li. While Gui Qinshao’s indignation was still fresh, disrupt the affair between her and Zhi Li, even causing an irreparable rift between Zhi Li and Gui Xingfu.

After all, now that Zhi Li’s rise to kingship was assured, Gui Xingfu had outlived his usefulness.

...

Listening to all the guests clapping and cheering, Gui Qinshao’s heart felt cold, yet she still held on to the last hope, her voice trembling as she said, "Brother Ling Ao, this cup is too much for me to drink."
