"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 179

 Flying up the cliff wall, the hand around Ji Ling Xue's waist gradually loosened, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, carrying someone while using light martial art, it was really difficult in his current condition.

At the top of the cliff, the light from Yuchi Gong Ru and An Ge's swords engaged in battle were like wildfire, Ru Ge flew to the top of the cliff, Yuchi Gong Ru had his back to him about to use a hidden trick at An Ge, An Ge faced several hidden arrows, his body couldn't react quick enough to avoid them.

Ji Ling Xue took out a bag of powder from her chest, smiling coldly at Yuchi Gong Ru: "Yuchi Gong Ru!"

In the middle of a fight and suddenly hearing his name being called, Yuchi Gong Ru instinctively turned around, a white powder covered the sky as it rained down, he instinctively closed his eyes, but it was already too late, the fine powder floated down, his eyes were in extreme pain.

"Ah...damn it, who plotted against this prince!" With his painful scream, the curved sword in his hand was thrown in the direction the voice came from, he needed to strike the person who plotted against him so that their intestines would be a mess.

Yuchi Ru Ge was holding Ji Ling Xue, he flipped up in the air, nimbly avoiding it, on the other side, An Ge flew up, one foot landing on Yuchi Gong Ru's stomach.

Yuchi Gong Ru's attention was on Ji Ling Xue and had no time to defend himself before he went flying, falling towards the edge of the cliff.

Yuchi Gong Ru was in the air when he opened his eyes, all he saw was white, faintly he saw a man holding a woman on the cliff, looking at the figure, it surprisingly looked a lot like Yuchi Ru Ge that lucky man.

That voice just now, could it be Ji Ling Xue, wasn't she at Dongqi's capital, a few days ago he had even heard news that princess Chen had passed away from illness, now that person was standing in front of him alive and plotting against him, it seems he had received fake news.

He fell down the cliff, both hands holding tightly to the rocks on the cliff edge, struggling hard to climb up.

An Ge stood at the edge looking down, he came face to face with Yuchi Gong Ru's angry and not resigned face, An Ge raised a foot stepping on Yuchi Gong Ru's fingers and crushing them.

Ji Ling Xue supported the swaying Ru Ge, seeing his complexion as white as a sheet, she asked out of deep concern, "Ru Ge, are you alright?"

Ru Ge laughed, "Has Yuchi Gong Ru fallen down?"

An Ge replied: "Soon!"

Yuchi Gong Ru took in a cold breath, angrily saying: "Ji Ling Xue...you humiliated me today, this prince will find you to repay your debt with interest!"

Ji Ling Xue smiled as calm as the clouds: "I look forward to you!"

The hatred between them was already as tall as a city wall.

Yuchi Ru Ge said: "If you want to settle a debt, come find me, Yuchi Gong Ru, you've schemed against me over and over again, all for the throne, I'm telling you now, don't even think about it."

Yuchi Gong Ru gritted his teeth: "Yuchi Ru Ge..."

An Ge exerted force onto his foot, Yuchi Gong Ru screamed in pain, in the moment An Ge removed his foot, his body leaned back falling down the cliff...

An Ge said: "Third prince, the miasma at the bottom of the cliff suits you a lot, hope you play around happily!"

Yuchi Gong Ru clutched his stomach, almost throwing out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Ling Xue glanced at the torn clothed covered with blood An Ge, asking: "An Ge, are you alright?"

An Ge turned to bow at Ji Ling Xue, "This subordinate didn't follow mistress's order just now, please punish me."

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, "Quickly help carry him, we should leave here quickly."

If Yuchi Gong Ru's subordinates found them, if ten people came at the three of them, injured soldiers and a woman, they would struggle, if three or four hundred people came, they would be immediately wiped out.

An Ge carried Ru Ge on his back and hurried down the mountain with Ji Ling Xue, the blockade she had imagined didn't appear, at the bottom of the mountain, the horses they had tied to the tree was still there.

Ji Ling Xue leapt onto the horse, Ru Ge had lost consciousness, he was tossed onto the back of the horse by An Ge not gently at all, the two of them rode off quickly.

In the Dongqi capital, white silks hung in the prince's residence fluttering in the wind, they looked particularly cold and solemn, the lanterns at the gates were also changed to white, some people would pass by every now and then, speeding up as they pass.

In the study, Xiao Yi Chen sat upright and still, Chi Feng, Bai Mo sat opposite him, Chi Feng jumped up shaking his head and waving his hands: "Prince, you want to massacre the imperial uncle's residence, you're crazy! Do you know what you're saying? Do you know the outcome of this? No, definitely no, I firmly oppose."

Xiao Yi Chen calmly said: "This prince is very calm and clear-headed, Ji Ling Xue is this prince's beloved wife, this prince must revenge her, relax, this prince has a plan for this, this prince won't let people figure out prince Chen's residence did it, let the horsemen outside the city dress up as mountain bandits, they can come and go quickly, no one will suspect this prince."

Chi Feng said: "Everyone in this world knows the relationship between you and imperial uncle, if something happens to imperial uncle, the first person suspected would be you prince, this is too risky, what's more the emperor has always been afraid of you, undoubtedly this would give the emperor a reason to get rid of your title."

Bai Mo nodded his head in agreement, "Chi Feng is right, I also don't agree."

Xiao Yi Chen spread out his hands, he didn't look angry, "Since this isn't the way forward, then I'll use a different method to seek revenge."

Bai Mo and Chi Feng spoke in unison asking: "What method?"

Xiao Yi Chen smiled very oddly, "I will directly force an abdication, a new emperor, new officials, when this prince is on the throne, whoever I want to remove, whose head I want to chop off, this emperor will have the final say."

Bai Mo and Chi Feng looked at each other, they actually couldn't say anything to refute, prince you want to find an excuse to seek power right?

At night, horsemen on dark horses entered through the west city gates, surrounding the palace, after three days and two night of intense fighting, the horsemen marched straight in unchallenged, the brave pressing on ahead, trampling over each palace guard forcing into the Yongan palace where the emperor was.

When the time came, Xiao Yi Mo sat on the imperial throne in his dragon robes, there wasn't any guards by his side, the horsemen surrounded the main hall, but didn't rise in revolt.

Xiao Yi Mo raised his head to look outside the palace, the first rays of dawn was coming into the hall, a tall and straight figure entered from outside, wherever he went, the horsemen neatly followed.

Xiao Yi Mo: "Our imperial brother, it really was you."

Xiao Yi Chen stood at the doorway in white, looking straight at Xiao Yi Mo sitting on the imperial throne, he had no intentions of paying his respects, the three nights, two days bloody battle in the palace had dyed the bluestone floors to red, like a red carpet had been laid down, Xiao Yi Chen had walked on that bloody carpet to arrive, it made people feel rather shocked and a bit of respect.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Imperial brother, this prince has no other intention only to avenge my beloved wife."

Xiao Yi Mo sneered, his laugh gradually stiffened, a drop of tear fell from the corner of his eye, "The thing we regret the most is consideration of your young age when we ascended the throne, leaving you to live."

This was like the story of the fisherman and the snake, the fisherman pitied the snake, but the snake was a cold blooded animal, how could it feel grateful?

Xiao Yi Chen repeated the words: "Imperial brother, this prince has no other intention only to avenge my beloved wife."

Xiao Yi Mo rubbed his forehead in pain, he heard the words, did he have to repeat it?

"Ji Yu Qing and Ji Ling Xue died in succession, we can understand the pain of losing your wives, but what has that got to do with you massacring the palace and standing in Yongan palace forcing an abdication? You're seething in anger over beauties, we appreciate it, but you seem to be seeking revenge on the wrong person, what has this got to do with us, you have a number of women in your residence, fighting and scheming against each other, it's hard to avoid casualties, we heard Ji Ling Xue was already no longer princess Chen, only a concubine."

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Imperial brother, is it really unrelated to you? Yi Yun was sent to prince Chen's residence by imperial decree while I was away, Ji Yu Qing was imperial brother's person, the spies you left by this prince's side, imperial uncle also relied on you to throw his weight around and target this prince and Ji Ling Xue, you forced her death..."

Xiao Yi Mo spread out his hands, "We did indeed place spies by you, but Ji Ling Xue committed suicide by poison, we didn't force her...it's useless to say anything now, the country we established can be entrusted to you, we have one request."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, indicating for Xiao Yi Mo to continue.

Xiao Yi Mo said: "We know you hate the imperial uncle to the bone, he is still our wife's younger brother, the empress's only brother, we only wish your grudges won't harm the innocent, give mercy to his offspring."

Xiao Yi Chen didn't expect Xiao Yi Mo didn't ask to protect himself, rather he pleaded on behalf of the imperial uncle.

Xiao Yi Mo said: "We have been in this position for ten years, we are tired, it's not a bad idea to give you this country." As he spoke he reached up to his head taking the crown off and placing it onto the floor, striding out, his clear voice drifted into the hall, "Carved balustrades and marble steps may still be there, but rosy faces change... 

Chi Feng stood beside Xiao Yi Chen watching the horsemen lead Xiao Yi Mo gradually away, the abdication he was fearful of finally drew to a close, he also didn't expect, Xiao Yi Mo didn't resist at all in the end, he directly gave the throne to Xiao Yi Chen, it felt like deep brotherly relation.

Chi Feng asked: "Prince, how do you want to deal with Xiao Yi Mo?"

Xiao Yi Chen looked rather absent-minded, "I still don't know, first lock him up in the imperial prison, also, all of Xiao Yi Mo's henchmen need to removed and dealt with."

Chi Feng cupped his hands, walking out to the palace doorway, he looked back, Xiao Yi Chen was standing beneath the imperial throne his hand raised to his head in thought.

The next day, Xiao Yi Chen ascended the throne as emperor, conferring the title of empress to Ji Ling Xue posthumously, she was buried into the imperial tombs, Chi Feng was the prime minister, Bai Mo was the teacher of the state.

Spring breeze blew far away, the news of a change of emperor spread through Dongqi like the spring breeze.

In a small town at the border, Ji Ling Xue yawned, she was holding a fan in her hand stoking the fire seriously, seeing the medicine furnace covered in white smoke.

A cough came from behind her, Ji Ling Xue turned her head, Ru Ge sat up using his arms, "What is that smell?"

Ji Ling Xue said: "Smell of medicine, the medicine I made, will definitely cure you the moment you take it. You had stayed at the bottom of the cliff for too long, that miasma has intruded into the bottom of your heart, it needs to be treated for some time before it recovers."

Ru Ge nodded, his gaze roamed around Ji Ling Xue's human skin mask, at the bottom of the cliff he had wanted to ask why Ji Ling Xue didn't show her true identity, only he was seriously injured then, beset by hunger and cold, he didn't have time to think of other things.

Ru Ge asked: "Xue Er, why are you wearing a human skin mask? Are you avoiding someone?"

Ji Ling Xue coughed: "That...the medicine is ready, take it first."
