Volume 1 Chapter 239 The Emperor Returns to Beijing

One day, Jiang Fei was playing with a child. After a while, he felt a little tired. He stood up, holding his waist, and was stunned, standing still.

Jiang Fei even suspected that he was dazzled, or that it was just his thoughts, otherwise why would he see His Majesty who had been captured by his master?

Xiang Yun stood twenty meters away with Shen Tu Jian, looking at him quietly. Xiang Yun frowned slightly with a complicated expression. Seeing Jiang Fei's appearance, he felt very uncomfortable.

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Fei's real age seemed to be younger than him, but now he looked no different from an old man.

Xiang Yun still remembered that day when Jiang Fei fought with Ying Feng with all his might, and finally his Taixu state was lifted, and he turned into such an old appearance. He was very shocked and blamed himself at that time, but when he saw Jiang Fei again after so many days, he still felt uncomfortable.

After taking a deep breath, Xiang Yun strode towards Jiang Fei. Twenty meters was not a long distance, but Xiang Yun walked slowly. But after just a few steps, Jiang Fei suddenly turned around and walked away. He was so fast that he disappeared from Xiang Yun's sight in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Yun's body froze, his fists clenched tightly, and he thought to himself: "Those sects that want my life, just wait, the cavalry of the Great Sun Dynasty will flatten your hilltops one by one!"

"Return to the palace!"

Xiang Yun returned to the palace with a gloomy face. Xiao Guazi rushed over immediately and knelt in front of Xiang Yun, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"

Because of Jiang Fei's matter, Xiang Yun didn't have any mood to talk more with Xiao Guazi, so he asked him to take good care of Shen Tu Jian, and he strode towards the direction of Kunning Palace.

On the way, Zhu Jinxiao and his imperial guards hurried over and bowed to Xiang Yun: "I pay my respects to your majesty. May your majesty be blessed with good health!"

Xiang Yun called out to him to stand up. Zhu Jinxiao's first words after he stood up were, "It is great that your Majesty can return to the capital safely. I am incompetent and did not protect your Majesty well that day. I really deserve to die."

Xiang Yun waved his hand to signal him to shut up, and then seeing that his face was dark and bloodless, he asked, "Has the injury you suffered that day not healed yet?"

Zhu Jinxiao paused when he heard this, and said with gratitude and shame: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. In the past few days, my injuries have been mostly healed, but there are still many hidden injuries in my body that are difficult to recover. I need time to recuperate and let it recover on its own. But Your Majesty, please rest assured that this hidden injury is not serious and will not affect my job."

No matter if it was Jiang Yue, Jiang Fei, Xuanyuan Dabing, or Zhu Jinxiao in front of him, as long as they had taken the initiative to stand up on that day, Xiang Yun would always remember their kindness in his heart. So from the day he was able to come back alive, Xiang Yun swore in his heart that he would treat them as well as possible with his sufficient ability.

Although Zhu Jinxiao's abilities and talents were not that good, Xiang Yun was able to ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

After thinking carefully, Xiang Yun took out three rejuvenation pills from the Xumi Ring, personally placed them in Zhu Jinxiao's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This won't work. These three pills are very effective in treating hidden injuries. From today on, I will give you three days off. Go back and have a good rest for three days. Take one of the three pills every day. I guarantee that your hidden injuries will be healed in three days, and you can return to work with a healthy body. Do you understand!"

Although Xiang Yun said a lot, he did not show any intention of negotiating. Zhu Jinxiao could not help but be stunned, with his mouth open for a long time without uttering a word. Then he tightly grasped the three pills and bowed to Xiang Yun again.

"Go ahead!"

After sending Zhu Jinxiao away, Xiang Yun was not far from Kunning Palace. The news that the emperor had escaped danger and returned to the palace spread quickly. At the same time, people in all palaces and courtyards also knew about it. They were all very excited. The emperor was back, and the backbone of the Great Sun Dynasty was back!

Only Zhen Rou didn't know the news yet, because Xiang Yun came to Kunning Palace to find her as soon as possible. The palace maids and eunuchs who informed her were all following Xiang Yun, and their speed was nowhere near as fast as Xiang Yun.

Ever since Jiang Fei brought back the news that Xiang Yun was captured alive to the capital, Zhen Rou has been in tears all day long and has been depressed. She eats very light meals every day and sometimes only eats one meal a day. She has no appetite for any other reason.

Xiang Yun was Zhen Rou's sky. Without Xiang Yun, Zhen Rou's sky collapsed. There was no hope or meaning in her life. If Xiang Yun's life or death was not uncertain, Zhen Rou would have followed Xiang Yun and died for love.

From yesterday to today, Zhen Rou has not eaten for three meals. Her already thin body has become even thinner, and her eyes are red, swollen and bloodshot, and it seems that she has cried a lot.

She was still sitting in the chair in a daze today, thinking about every little detail of her past with Xiang Yun. Suddenly, a lot of screams were heard outside the room.

"Ah~ Your Majesty!"

"May your majesty be blessed with good health!"

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"

Zhen Rou shuddered when she heard this, and a feeling of disbelief surged in her heart. She wanted to get up and go out to take a look, but because she had maintained the same posture for too long, her legs were numb and she could hardly move.

Just at this moment, Xiang Yun strode in. When he saw Zhen Rou's haggard and emaciated figure, his heart ached. He hurried over and said, "Queen, I'm back!"

Two drops of hot tears fell from Zhen Rou's eyes at this moment. She choked and tried to force herself to get up and throw herself into Xiang Yun's arms, but she couldn't do it. Helplessly, she fell to the ground. Xiang Yun hurriedly supported her, and Zhen Rou finally hugged Xiang Yun as she wished.

She trembled, held Xiang Yun's cheeks with both hands, and kept stroking them, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, you are finally back. After your Majesty's accident, I cried my tears dry, and I was exhausted. I didn't want to eat or drink, and I looked forward to your Majesty's safe return day and night. Now, your expectation has finally come true!"

If it were someone else, such words would sound a bit hypocritical, but when they came out of Zhen Rou's mouth, they were particularly heartbreaking and touching.

It was because Xiang Yun saw it clearly, such a thin and haggard appearance would be impossible if he had not been exhausted from constant heart rate. This matter could not be false.

Xiang Yun also hugged her tightly and comforted her softly, "Stop crying, it hurts me to see you crying."

Zhen Rou nodded frantically upon hearing this, but her crying did not stop. Xiang Yun had no choice but to hold her tightly. As time went on, her crying became quieter and quieter, and finally there was no sound. Xiang Yun smiled in his heart, feeling finally relieved, and quickly let go of Zhen Rou, but was stunned on the spot.

This girl actually fell asleep on him like this!

Zhen Rou's brows were slightly wrinkled even when she was sleeping. Xiang Yun felt extremely distressed seeing her like this. He then quietly picked up Zhen Rou, gently placed her on the bed, covered her with a quilt himself, and then slowly left Kunning Palace.

But as soon as he came out, before Xiang Yun had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Lingzhi, Song Yun, Miao Hanzhi, Fang Rui, Qingdai, and even the pregnant Wang Jiaojiao all ran over hurriedly. When they saw Xiang Yun, they were extremely excited. The girls surrounded Xiang Yun at once, concerned about his safety.

Before Xiang Yun could say anything, Lingzhi threw herself on him and hugged him tightly. Soon her eyes were filled with tears. Xiang Yun was about to say a few words of comfort when Lingzhi bit his shoulder.

He bit very hard, without any mercy. If it were an ordinary person, there would be blood flowing. However, Xiang Yun's current physical strength was not something that ordinary teeth could bite through. Lingzhi used all his strength, but in the end, not even a faint tooth mark was left.

She had no choice but to let go angrily, her teeth aching. After a while, she said coquettishly, "If you dare to leave Lingzhi alone again, Lingzhi will die for you to see, believe it or not."

Xiang Yun had no choice but to comfort her with a few words. Wang Jiaojiao was now seven months pregnant and her belly had already shown an obvious bulge. Xiang Yun did not spend much time with Lingzhi. He immediately went forward and hugged Wang Jiaojiao in his arms. Then he squatted down and rested his head on Wang Jiaojiao's belly, listening carefully, hoping to get some response from the baby in her belly.

Lingzhi, Miao Hanzhi, Fang Rui and Qingdai on the side were all watching with envy. Only Song Yun had a complicated expression. Thinking of what she had done in the past few days, she began to feel uneasy.

Sure enough, until Xiang Yun left, he never even looked at Song Yun directly. Even to Miao Hanzhi and Fang Rui, Xiang Yun said a few more words of comfort to them.

Song Yun returned to Yaohua Palace with a heavy heart. As soon as she arrived, two imperial guards came with the imperial edict and read it out in front of her without mercy: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Within one month, the Black Witch Nation must submit a letter of surrender in my imperial study. Those who violate this will have their nation destroyed!

The marriage is cancelled from now on. Princess Song Yun will be sent back to the Black Witch Kingdom from today. I decree this!"

Song Yun trembled when she heard this. What did these words mean? What did it mean to call it quits? Was she being broken off from the engagement? No, it should be said that she was divorced by the emperor!

Insult. The emperor was severely insulting herself, venting his anger at her for escaping from the palace several times in the past few days. The emperor let her leave the palace, but did so in a humiliating way.

In this situation, her dignity as the eldest princess has been completely trampled underfoot. No matter what, once this imperial decree is issued, she will become a joke in the Great Sun Dynasty and the Black Witch Kingdom, and a joke for whom her engagement will be broken off.

A sense of hostility filled Song Yun's body, but she had nowhere to go. This was not a place where she could act wildly, and even in the Black Witch Kingdom, she could not act wildly.

After the anger, there was endless grievance. The world was so big, and there was endless wandering. At this moment, there was no place for her, Song Yun, in either the Great Sun Dynasty or the Black Witch Kingdom.

Even Xiang Yunzhu's words that the entire Black Witch Kingdom should surrender were completely ignored by Song Yun.

At this moment, the imperial guard who delivered the imperial decree said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, please go ahead and don't embarrass your subordinates."
