Chapter 66 After Marriage

The young woman's slender figure stepped through the palace gate, her beautiful cheongsam skirt swaying gently, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

The security guard bowed slightly, and only after the girl's back disappeared from sight did he stand up and tiptoe into the side room.

The room was filled with swirling light and floating dust, and the air was filled with tranquility.

The man held a folded document in his hand, seemingly no different from before.

The security guard stood quietly in the corner, a whisk in his hand.

Yet, a faint, almost imperceptible sense of relaxation lingered in the small side room.

The security guard shifted his foot slightly, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

........

Jialu left the palace almost without pausing.

The lively hustle and bustle instantly wafted through the carriage, bringing with it the long-lost warmth of everyday life.

The high walls of the palace are like a huge curtain, separating the palace from the people, completely enveloping the Forbidden City in a vacuum, hanging steadily above the people's heads, coldly accepting their worship.

The Borjigits' palace in the capital was not particularly large in scale, but it did not appear small either.

If the Empress is coming, an angel should inform the host family in advance.

But Jialuo came in a hurry, and since she didn't want her mother to know, she quietly entered through the side gate.

Abu had received the news in advance and was sitting in the courtyard in front of his study. On the round table were a bowl of milk wine, a plate of beef, and some side dishes.

Upon seeing his beloved Abu, Jialuo quickened his pace, rushed to Abu's side, looked up at the white-haired man, and choked out, "Abu."

Wu Keshan raised his large hand and patted his daughter's head, his expression much better than when they met a few days ago.

He is the wolf king of the grasslands and the eagle soaring through the sky.

For him, death was more like returning to the grass and water, or flying into the boundless sky.

He smiled and said to Jialuo, "Come on, knowing you were coming, Abu personally went to the kitchen to cut some cooked beef. I'm sure you'll like it."

Jialuo wiped her eyes, looked at the beef on the table, and felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

"Abu loves his daughter the most."

Most importantly, Abu's good spirits put Gallo at ease.

"tasty!"

The beef slices were tender and flavorful, with no trace of gamey taste. A sip of mare's milk wine warmed my stomach considerably.

Before long, Jialuo felt as if someone had pressed down on her shoulders, and she slowly landed on solid ground.

Wu Keshan looked at his daughter's face and saw that it had become more lively before he spoke up: "You have been well-behaved and thoughtful since you were little, but no matter what you are thinking, you should eat your meals properly every day."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of beef for Jialuo and put it in Jialuo's bowl.

"Yes, I understand."

The atmosphere in the courtyard was just right. After finishing his meal, Wu Keshan was about to speak when a servant who was serving outside the door rushed in, hurriedly bowed, and reported, "Your Highness, the Emperor has arrived."

Jialuo was taken aback. The Emperor was actually coming?

When we met just now, the Emperor showed absolutely no intention of coming.

But she clearly didn't have time to think about it, as footsteps were already coming from outside the door.

As Jialuo got up with Abu, they had only taken two steps when the door was opened from the outside.

Jialuo immediately felt the man's gaze, as if he were looking her up and down.

That look in his eyes seemed to express his concern that she had been wronged here.

"minister...."

"Guozhang, get up quickly. We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Fu Lin quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wu Keshan's arm, and gently pulled him so that he didn't have to bow.

Wu Keshan did not stand on ceremony. He stood up, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty has shown great favor to the Borjigit clan, but I have failed to live up to Your Majesty's kindness."

Listening to Abu's words, Jialuo felt as if a small knife had been used to cut a wound in her heart, causing her great distress.

The pain of losing a child is like being cut to the skin.

The only people who are most heartbroken are Abu and Eji.

Galo was filled with worry for Abu, but she didn't notice the look in Fu Lin's eyes that fell on her.

"Why bother with such matters of state? You sent your daughter to the palace, and now that all this has happened, if anyone is to blame, it should be me."

After he finished speaking, everyone was taken aback.

Wu Keshan was about to kneel down and pay his respects again when Jialuo came to her senses and finally looked up at the man.

She then realized that the man had changed his clothes.

Unlike the indigo robe he wore in the palace earlier, the man was now wearing a dark robe with a subtle bamboo pattern embroidered on it.

He had a handsome face, yet he exuded a chilling aura.

How could Fulin allow Wu Keshan to bow again? He stopped him, saying, "This matter is over. I am here today because of Jialuo."
