A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 264 The Eve of the Wedding

These words warmed his heart. "Then Yan'er has agreed that after the wedding tomorrow, she will return to her parents' home three days later and live with Xuan Yuan in the General's Mansion, with her brother and sister-in-law. She is not allowed to run around or leave her brother's side."

Xin Moyan nodded vigorously, vowing, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would stay by your side. You're so good to me, I don't want to leave you!"

Xin Moling's mood improved a bit. "Yan'er, your aunt sent over many congratulatory gifts. She said that after you two get married, you and Xuanyuan should go to Yongning Palace to pay your respects to her!"

“Well, then we’ll go the day after tomorrow. Xuan Yuan originally planned to take me to see my aunt today, but yesterday he said that Consort Ning suddenly fell ill and my aunt was busy at Ninglu Palace, so we gave up on that plan.”

He nodded. "If it weren't for the strict palace rules and the Empress Dowager's grand processions, my aunt would have liked to come to the Prince's residence tomorrow to witness your wedding!"

“Brother, our aunt, the Empress Dowager, is very kind to us. I will be filial to her in the future.”

“My father and mother passed away early, and it was my aunt who raised us with great care and attention. I have long regarded her as my mother.”

"I like my aunt very much too..."

As she spoke, Xin Moyan covered her mouth and lazily yawned.

Seeing this, Xin Moling quickly stood up. "Yan'er, you must be tired today. You should rest early. The wedding attendant will come to your room first thing tomorrow morning to help you with your makeup and dressing. Make sure you get plenty of rest."

Her eyes crinkled into crescents, and she smiled playfully and adorably. "Yes, brother, you should go to sleep early too. I'm going to serve you tea tomorrow!"

The older brother pursed his lips, a hint of helplessness appearing on his handsome features. "You! Do you really like that guy that much?"

"Hehe~ I like my brother too!"

Xin Moling walked to the door, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked again, "Will Hua Buyu come tomorrow?"

She nodded. "Xuanyuan said Buyu will come early tomorrow morning."

"And what about Yun Zhaoyao?"

He knew in his heart that Yun Zhaoyao had met His Majesty and Consort Yun this morning and then set off back to the country with her accompanying guards.

"Zhaoyao...Zhaoyao has returned to Qiyun."

Xin Moyan pouted, her tone sounding somewhat frustrated and annoyed. She had wanted to invite Zhaoyao over, as he loved to join in the fun. It was only one day short, couldn't they go back tomorrow?

Moreover, what will happen to Buyu if Zhaoyao suddenly returns to the country? She just agreed with Zhaoyao last time to create more opportunities for them to be alone, and also to help Zhaoyao test Buyu's feelings!

Seeing his sister's distress, and recalling the information he had Qingque gather in Qiyun, Xin Moling lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Yes, he and Hua Buyu have a close relationship. I suppose they will meet again someday."

After speaking, he walked out, saying, "Yan'er, get some rest."

"Okay, goodnight, brother!"

Goodnight, Yan'er!

Xin Moyan closed the door, shrugged, and thought that now she could only wait for the future to meet Zhao Yao again if fate allowed...

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

Apart from a candlestick by the bedside, she blew out all the other lights in the room. Originally, Cailian should have been in the outer room to serve her while she slept, but she was not used to it, so she was told to go to the side room next door to rest early.

Lying in bed, Xin Moyan felt less sleepy. She took out the jade pendant from her bosom and admired it carefully by the dim candlelight.

In an instant, that peerless face appeared before her eyes. Her fingertips gently caressed the character "Yuan" on it. Thinking of Xuan Yuan and the time they had spent together, her heart pounded. Xin Moyan grinned and chuckled to herself in bed.

She's only been here for a few months, but it feels like ages. Not only does she have a super awesome older brother, but she also met Buyu, then started dating Yuanyuan, and now... no, tomorrow, she's getting married!

Uncle Xie said that she and Xuan Yuan were destined to be together, but even if Uncle Xie didn't say that, she would still like Xuan Yuan very much, and Xuan Yuan would like her very much too.

Thinking of Xie Cangming, her eyes instantly darkened. Uncle Xie was so supportive of her marriage to Xuan Yuan, so why wasn't he coming tomorrow? He even said he was going into seclusion to cultivate, and her brother had personally gone to the Feiying Hall to invite him to officiate the wedding, only to be turned away...

Xin Moyan was lost in her daydreams and momentarily forgot about the muscle soreness caused by overexertion.

"Bang bang bang~"

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the door, neither too loud nor too soft.

"Who?"

"Yan'er, it's me, your brother. Please open the door."

Xin Moling's voice rang out, and she felt particularly strange. Hadn't her brother just gone back? And when would her brother have asked her out?

Or has something major happened?

Thinking of this, Xin Moyan suddenly had a bad feeling. She quickly threw off the covers and ran to open the door.

"Squeak~"

As the wooden door opened, Xin Moyan, without thinking, called out, "Brother, what are you doing..."

When Xin Moyan saw the person in front of her clearly, her pupils dilated several times in an instant. Before she could finish speaking, the person slashed her neck hard...

The next day, everything was shrouded in a gray haze, with only a white light flashing across the distant horizon. Hua Buyu swaggered over with a large group of people and knocked on the door of the General's Mansion.

Xin Moling stood in the hall with a dark face. "Hua Buyu, what's wrong with you again? Yan'er left at 9:00 AM, and it's only 1:15 AM now. I won't allow you to wake Yan'er up."

Hua Buyu put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at him. "Xin Moling, what do you know? Who gets married with the timing perfect? ​​The details of the wedding dress and makeup are so intricate, of course we have to get up an hour earlier!"

"We'll just leave a little later. Yan'er was tired from riding yesterday, so let her get some more sleep."

"Hey~ Xin Moling, this isn't the way you show affection to your sister. They say it's an auspicious day, and being late is unlucky. Besides, do you know what? Xuan Yuan was so excited last night that he didn't sleep a wink. He got up early this morning to get ready, and he's almost here."

Xin Moling glared at her, her face full of disdain. "It's his business if he can't sleep. I'll just let Yan'er get enough sleep first. Besides, the wedding isn't until 9 AM, why is he here so early?"

The two argued louder and louder, and Shuiyi heard it from afar. She walked over in small steps, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"No words."

She stepped forward and took Shuiyi's arm as if she were tattled, "Shuiyi, look at this guy. It's better to get dressed up earlier than to be late. He won't let Yan Yan get up. Can't you see that all the wedding maids and servants are waiting in the courtyard?"

"Ah Ling, Bu Yu is right. Let Cai Lian go and wake Yan'er up!"

He nodded, about to say something, when Cailian came running up from behind in a panic.

"Son!"

"Young master, something terrible has happened! Miss has disappeared..."
