Chapter 57: Wishes Fulfilled (The Finale)
"Your Majesty, good news! Good news has arrived from the north!"
Suddenly, outside the outer room, the personal attendant father-in-law became extremely excited and loudly reported.
!!
Upon hearing this, Tianyao's eyes, still brimming with tears, instantly brightened. She even forgot about Qin Ge in front of her, and hurriedly stood up, turned around, and walked quickly outside.
"Where are the documents?"
Tianyao saw her personal eunuch and asked.
"The messenger is outside the palace now, and he has the documents in his hands. I will summon him in immediately."
"My father-in-law said hurriedly."
"Go quickly!"
Tianyao urged impatiently.
At this moment, Qin Ge and Xie Mingyuan both moved to the side behind Tian Yao.
The two had similar expressions, both showing surprise and a hint of jealousy.
Huo Tianheng, as expected of someone who has been the ruler of a country, is exceptionally talented. He is not only skilled in governing the country, but also adept at leading troops into battle.
Huo Tianheng is the epitome of a polymath.
Soon, her personal eunuch led the messenger to stand in front of Tianyao.
The messenger knelt on one knee, took out a document from his chest, held it high above his head, and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Great Wei has won a great victory! General Huo has written down the details in the document, please check it."
Just as the personal eunuch was about to step forward to take the document, Tianyao beat him to it, walked up to the messenger, took the document, gently patted the messenger's shoulder, and said softly.
"You've worked hard, go and get some rest."
"Xie Mingyuan, go and arrange for him to rest, and reward him with a house in the capital, with an area of more than 100 square meters."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand from the messenger's shoulder, turned to Xie Mingyuan, and gave a soft command.
"yes!"
Xie Mingyuan immediately accepted the order.
His Majesty seems quite pleased, as he casually bestowed such a generous reward.
The messenger was overjoyed, beaming with delight. This mission had been well worth it.
Although he exhausted several horses and now feels like he'd fall asleep if he closed his eyes, it was still all worth it.
Your Majesty is so generous, so magnanimous, and most importantly, absolutely gorgeous.
General Huo is right, His Majesty is an absolutely stunning beauty.
As the messenger pondered this, he got up and happily followed Xie Mingyuan out of the Jingxin Hall.
At this moment, Tianyao was reading the document word by word with great concentration.
The document is short and contains the following:
Yao Yao, I led the northern soldiers to victory and defeated the Jin army. Aren't you awesome?
I bet you think I'm really amazing.
In your eyes, apart from the fact that I like you, everything else about me pleases you, right?
Please forgive me for taking the liberty of making you the emperor.
Because I wouldn't feel comfortable letting anyone else ascend the throne besides you.
I will be returning to the capital soon, and I hope you can come to welcome me in person.
Signed: Selfish Huo Tianheng.
Time: Autumn of the 82nd year of the Great Wei calendar.
Tianyao stared blankly at the word 'selfish' in the signature.
These two are too heavy.
Tianheng really doesn't need to think that way.
He knew early on that he and she were not biological siblings. In order to survive in the cannibalistic palace, she was extremely caring and obedient to him, always by his side, supporting him, giving him a lot of advice, showcasing her strengths, and displaying her beauty.
It's perfectly understandable and reasonable that he fell in love with her.
After all, she is beautiful enough, outstanding enough, and good enough.
After all, it's impossible to control when your heart is moved.
Tianyao was a modern person in her previous life, so she believed that actions should be judged by deeds, not intentions. Just like with illegal and criminal acts, even if a person has thought about exterminating all of humanity countless times in their heart, as long as they do not take action, they will not be punished by law.
But as long as he takes action, even if it's just the slightest act that disrupts social order, he will be punished by law.
Therefore, Tianheng's mistake was never that he fell in love with her or liked her, but rather... he kissed her.
His overstepping of boundaries led to many things, the most impactful of which was that he forced her into marriage.
Do you hate it?
To be honest, I hated it when I was forced by the late emperor to choose someone to marry.
But now, three years have passed, and she has ignored and treated Tianheng coldly for three whole years.
He even gave up the throne to be with her.
Therefore, she no longer harbored any hatred.
Now, she doesn't care about the past, she only thinks about the present and the future. Now she hopes that he can return safely from the north, and in the future, she wants to live with him and be together day and night.
...
Ten days later, Tianheng returned to the capital. Tianyao, Xie Mingyuan, Qin Ge, Ming Shendu, Yan Qingyan, and Xiao Yelan welcomed Tianheng back to the capital.
Huo Tianheng dismounted, covered in dust, and saw Tianyao standing not far away, dressed in a bright yellow dress and wearing a crown. His tired eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly walked towards Tianyao.
Tianyao smiled as she watched Tianheng approach. Just as Tianheng was about to reach her, she suddenly turned to look at her personal eunuch beside her, her rosy lips parted slightly, and said, "Announce the imperial decree."
? ? ?
Upon hearing this, Qin Ge, Xie Mingyuan, Ming Shendu, Yan Qingyan, and Xiao Yelan all turned to look at their personal eunuch, their faces full of doubt.
Tianheng raised an eyebrow. It seemed that apart from Yaoyao, no one else knew what was about to be announced. What could it be?
He was already extremely happy that Yao Yao came to pick him up.
"Huo Tianheng, receive the imperial decree."
The voice of her personal father-in-law rang out, very solemnly.
Tianheng looked at Tianyao, met her gaze, and saw her nod slightly. The slight doubt in his heart vanished instantly.
Since it was Yao Yao who arranged it, he would accept whatever Yao Yao asked him to do.
Huo Tianhang bent his knees, knelt on one knee, lowered his head slightly, and said loudly.
"Your subject receives the imperial decree."
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Huo Tianheng, through his own efforts, reversed the tide of the war in the north, achieved a great victory over the Jin army, and protected the Wei Kingdom. His merits are immeasurable. In recognition of his achievements, I wish to grant him one wish. This wish, within my power, is hereby granted."
"Furthermore, Huo Tianheng will be granted the former fiefdom of Prince Jin in the northern frontier, and a Huo General's Mansion within the inner city of the capital, along with 100,000 taels of gold. This is the imperial decree."
The breathing of the surrounding people instantly became heavy, their eyes reddened, filled with envy and jealousy!
The surrounding people all knew that Huo Tianheng was not of royal blood, but a commoner like them. And now, in just a short period of time, he had risen to a position second only to the emperor.
Huo Tianheng froze when he heard the last words of the first sentence.
He didn't hear the second sentence at all.
All he knew was that he had been given an opportunity, a tremendous opportunity that he had dreamed of for years.
He knew that if he spoke up today, in front of the many people and ministers, Tianyao would definitely agree.
His adaptation to the situation, his seizing the opportunity to reveal his identity, and his stepping down from the throne were all for that one purpose.
How could he hesitate or waver?
Since he wanted it, and since he had gone to great lengths and schemes to finally get this opportunity, how could he possibly miss it, how could he possibly let it go?
He suddenly raised his head, his gaze more dazzling than the sun in the sky, shining brightly.
"My wish is to become Your Majesty's consort."
Tianyao smiled gently, her eyes as warm and serene as moonlight.
Brother Heng, he really hasn't changed at all; he's truly faithful to the end.
She... really, really liked that.
"allow!"
Tianyao opened her lips, and her rosy lips uttered words that made Tianheng's heart pound with excitement.
