Chapter 228 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 2

Emperor Tai'an was able to ascend the throne among the sons of the previous emperor thanks to the help of Yingzong. How could he not know how important Yingzong was to the Beili Dynasty?

So, Emperor Tai'an knew that Yingzong was very important, but he still agreed to the marriage. The story behind this is quite interesting.

For the original owner of this body, this marriage was a sign that Emperor Tai'an favored him. But in Yi Bu's view, this marriage meant that Emperor Tai'an tacitly approved of the Shadow Sect stepping into the limelight.

A seemingly simple marriage has become entangled in a power struggle among several parties.

Therefore, no matter what, today's wedding must be completed successfully without any mistakes!

This is why, although Xiao Ruojin did not want to get married, she did not rashly refuse.

Come to think of it, this is the first time he's gotten married since he traveled through time.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A soft cough caught Xiao Ruojin's attention, and he quickly turned his gaze to Xiao Ruofeng.

Ok?

Seeing that Xiao Ruofeng's face was somewhat pale, his occasional coughs revealed a hint of weakness, and he even seemed a little unsteady when standing.

"Little brother, you don't look too well. Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Ruojin asked with concern, beckoning him over.

The brothers Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng always addressed each other as "younger brother" and "older brother," without adding the princely order before their names. This was because in their hearts, only they were siblings born of the same mother and were true brothers.

Hearing his brother's words, Xiao Ruofeng didn't move. He forced a smile and shook his head gently, trying to hide his discomfort: "I'm fine. Today is your big day, brother. You should go and greet your bride."

How could Xiao Ruojin not see his reluctance? She immediately shook her head: "You look terrible right now, how can I possibly be in the mood to greet any bride?"

The worry in his words startled Xiao Ruofeng. He hadn't expected his brother to say such a thing, which warmed his heart.

Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng are brothers born of the same parents. Because their mother died early and they did not have a strong maternal clan to support them, their lives in the palace during their youth were very difficult. They relied on and supported each other to get to where they are today.

It is precisely because of this that the two brothers have a very deep bond.

However, ever since the two began plotting to seize the throne, their relationship gradually began to fade.

Even though he helped his brother in every way, he could still sense a change in his brother's attitude towards him. He hadn't heard such caring words from his brother in a long time.

Like a ray of sunshine, it pierced through the barrier between them, allowing Xiao Ruofeng to feel the long-lost family affection and warmth.

However, he cannot let his brother know about his current injuries, otherwise Ye Dingzhi's matter will be impossible to hide.

So Xiao Ruofeng tried to calm himself down and refused again: "Brother, I'm really fine. I just had a bit of a choke point while practicing. I'll be fine after a while of rest."

Having been rejected twice, Xiao Ruojin grew increasingly curious.

Her temper flared up in an instant.

Seeing that Xiao Ruofeng was determined not to come over, Xiao Ruojin frowned slightly, slowly got up and walked to stand in front of him. With a gentle yet strong gesture, she reached out a hand to control his arm.

At the same time, his other hand naturally rose and pressed on Xiao Ruofeng's wrist to take his pulse.

The movement was fluid and natural, as if it had been practiced hundreds of times.

Xiao Ruofeng was taken aback by his brother's sudden action. By the time he reacted, his brother's fingers were already on his wrist. Thinking of his own injuries, a sense of panic flashed through his mind.

“Brother…” Xiao Ruofeng called softly, his voice tinged with helplessness and struggle. He tried to pull his hand away, but Xiao Ruojin’s strength was just right to control him, making it impossible for him to break free easily.

Xiao Ruojin clicked her tongue impatiently, slapped his arm, and said in the tone of an elder scolding a child, "Be good!"

The two concise yet powerful words convey an unquestionable meaning.

Xiao Ruofeng knew he couldn't hide his injury any longer, so he gave up struggling. He asked with some doubt, "I didn't know that my brother was also skilled in traditional Chinese medicine?"

Who is Xiao Ruojin?

Lying came out of her mouth without batting an eye. Hearing Xiao Ruofeng's probing, she remained completely calm and slowly said, "Ever since you fell seriously ill that year, I've been thinking about learning some medical skills, just in case. Look! This is where they come in handy today."

When Xiao Ruofeng heard him mention things from his childhood, memories of his own childhood couldn't help but surface in his mind.

Xiao Ruofeng is currently the ninth prince of Beili, the Prince of Langya who is favored by the emperor, the disciple of Li Changsheng, the chief minister of Jixia Academy, a junior teacher at the academy, one of the eight young masters of Beili, and the top of the Liangyu List. He seems to be enjoying immense prestige.

However, he had a very difficult childhood. Because he was not valued, he almost lost his life from a severe cold when he was six years old. He was on the verge of death when Xiao Ruojin knelt in the snow and begged for medical help. She knelt for two whole hours and even drew her sword to threaten suicide. Only then did she manage to keep the imperial physician who was about to leave and save his life.

This incident elevated and romanticized Xiao Ruofeng's brotherly affection for Xiao Ruojin, making him a complete brother-obsessed individual.

Xiao Ruofeng was truly devoted to helping Xiao Ruojin, always standing firmly by his side, offering advice, recruiting talent for him, and even personally removing obstacles for him.

For Xiao Ruojin, Xiao Ruofeng was willing to sacrifice everything, including his reputation, status, and even his life.

Xiao Ruojin was so envious of this exceptional younger brother who not only didn't compete with his brother for power but also risked his life to help him. Her affection for Xiao Ruofeng instantly soared.

Knowing this, Xiao Ruojin immediately adjusted their interaction pattern the moment she saw Xiao Ruofeng.

For someone as loyal and devoted as Xiao Ruofeng, sincerity is essential to earn sincerity in return; there can be no falsehood whatsoever.

"You're so badly injured? Who hurt you?"

Xiao Ruojin frowned, her eyes filled with undeniable concern, yet also tinged with coldness and anger.

"I got injured by accident while sparring with a friend. I didn't tell my brother because I didn't want him to worry. But it's just a minor injury, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Xiao Ruofeng naturally wouldn't tell the truth, but instead laughed it off in a relaxed tone, though there was a hint of unnaturalness hidden in his smile.

Xiao Ruojin watched him quietly as he fabricated the story, her sharp gaze seemingly able to penetrate all lies.

The two brothers looked at each other, and in the end, Xiao Ruofeng felt awkward and uncomfortable, and lowered his head first.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruojin sighed helplessly, withdrew her sharp gaze, and waved her hand, saying, "Never mind, since you don't want to say, then I won't ask anymore."

Just then, the bride's sedan chair landed. Upon seeing this, Xiao Ruofeng quickly seized the opportunity to change the subject and urged him to go and greet the bride.

Xiao Ruojin looked at the sedan chair in front of the hall, a hint of hesitation flashing through her mind.

After a long while, he walked to the sedan chair under everyone's gaze. Just as he was about to reach out and lift the curtain, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching sound coming from afar.

"what--"

The voice was sharp and desperate, like a blade slicing through the sky, which shocked everyone present.
