She never imagined Shen Yue would be so lucky.
No matter what I do, I can't kill it.
Upon hearing this, Yunnan Sheng immediately said, "Then don't worry, no matter where they go, your father will catch them and bring them back for you to deal with personally."
"Ah."
"Not in a hurry."
There's no news yet, but she's sure Shen Yue will come back.
He might be the spy among the rebels in Qizhou.
But she was wrong this time.
The spy is not Shen Yue.
More than a month later, there was new news from Qizhou City: the lost city had been recaptured, and the rebels had been captured.
They were all suppressed within half a month of entering.
The greatest contributor was Shen Yue.
"What's wrong with him?"
Granny Cao said, "The information has been confirmed; it is him. He also saved the Emperor's life. The spy is Young Master Zeng... and the rebel leader is Prince Han himself."
The Cold King did not die.
When the Empress Dowager sent people to dig up the coffin, they found no remains and concluded that Prince Han was not dead.
Because the Empress Dowager still understands Prince Han.
“Zeng Xiao was a spy. He almost injured the Emperor in order to save his own life. It was Shen Yue who intervened in time to save the Emperor. He also helped suppress the rebels and captured Prince Han.”
Yun Xiyue's face was very ugly. "What kind of incredible luck did he have? Or did someone help him?"
"This... I don't know either. All I know is that Shen Yue might be coming back again."
He saved the emperor in full view of everyone.
They also captured the rebel leader Han Wang. Such a great achievement deserves a reward.
"Your Majesty, Young Madam Zeng requests an audience."
Upon learning the news, Pei Xuan immediately went to the palace, not to see the Empress Dowager, but to see Yun Xiyue.
"Sister-in-law, I beg you, please save my husband."
She knelt down as soon as she came in.
Pei Xuan was also pregnant, and Zeng Xiao stayed home for several days, spending all his time with her. He was especially passionate during those days.
She didn't realize there was a problem, little did she know that Zeng Xiao knew he was on a path of no return and wanted to leave her with a child.
She's two months pregnant now, and he's been gone for two months too.
"Get up first. You need to take care of yourself while you're pregnant. Don't get too excited."
"The news hasn't come back yet, and the Emperor hasn't said how to deal with Zeng Xiao, so don't be too nervous," Yun Xiyue reassured her.
Pei Xuan's eyes were swollen from crying. "Why did he do this? He gave up his promising future and even risked his life for Zeng Rou."
"What's so great about Zeng Rou? I'm ashamed for her having a sister like her!"
Zeng Rou deserved what she got.
“My cousin did nothing wrong by executing her. Why can’t he understand that? Why does he have to go against my cousin?”
Yun Xiyue couldn't understand why Zeng Xiao did this. What benefit could he possibly gain from taking revenge on Murong Yu like this?
"Sister-in-law, no matter what, he is my husband, the father of my child... The child isn't even born yet, I'm so scared..."
Yun Xiyue was somewhat embarrassed. "Why don't you go to your father? He is now the head of all officials, and there's also the Empress Dowager. They can both step in to protect Zeng Xiao."
“No…” Pei Xuan shook her head. She had long been disappointed in her father. For the sake of power, he had drugged his own daughter and sent her to Zeng Xiao’s bed.
This forced her to marry Zeng Xiao.
She didn't even dare to hope that a father like that would save people.
The Empress Dowager was the same kind of person as her father.
“Your cousin dotes on you the most. If you can persuade him, he might forgive Zeng Xiao. As for others... there’s no hope at all.”
Yun Xiyue said, "The Emperor has not yet confirmed when he will return. I heard that the rebels have damaged many towns. The Emperor should at least offer his condolences."
"It will take about half a month to get back from Qizhou City."
Pei Xuan wiped away her tears and took her hand. "I know, when my cousin comes back, can you help me?"
