Upon hearing this, Tuolü was deeply moved and immediately knelt down facing the direction of the palace, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Before long, some of the chefs Liu Hong sent arrived at Tuo Lu's home with various ingredients.

When the neighbors learned that Tuo Lu was getting married today, they all came to help.

Former slaves of Tuolü also came to offer their congratulations. Even military officers such as Dong Zhuo, Huang Zhong, and Lü Bu were sent by Liu Hong to support Tuolü.

This quiet courtyard, which had been peaceful for so long, suddenly became lively with the sound of gongs and drums.

Under Chu Qian's guidance, Tuo Lu and his wife completed their wedding ceremony.

The commotion lasted all day before the crowd finally dispersed.

That night, in the bridal chamber, Tuolü and his beloved woman gazed at each other.

After a long silence, Tuolü said, "Zhu'er, I have sworn allegiance to His Majesty and will soon be leaving this place to return to the grasslands!"

Pearl nodded: "I know you are going to help His Majesty rescue our people. You are a hero. Go in peace. I will wait for you to come back."

"Pearl..."

Looking at his understanding wife, Tuolü felt that his life was complete. He then embraced her, and then...

Weiyang Palace.

In just one more day, it will be the New Year, and the palace maids and eunuchs are busy making preparations.

Liu Hong held Song Yue's hand as the two strolled through the palace, enjoying the beautiful night view.

Looking from afar at the two large red lanterns in front of Weiyang Palace, the candlelight flickered like two flames in the darkness.

"Let the flames of this uprising burn fiercely across the grasslands!"
