Chapter 5 Decree to Grant Marriage



Zhou Yiyi dressed neatly, walked out of the bedroom, and went straight to his father and brother.

Ye Xichen was standing at the door of the bedroom, and had been staring at Zhou Yiyi since she came out. Unfortunately, Zhou Yiyi didn't even give him a glance.

The Zhou family father and son stepped forward and protected Zhou Yi behind them.

Quickly leave the Palace of King Qi.

When I reached the door, Ye Xichen's voice came faintly.

"Miss Zhou, you left your things behind."

Zhou Yi stopped and looked back, and saw Ye Xichen holding a piece of white cloth in his hand. There was a scarlet spot on the cloth, which was the fallen petals from the daytime.

Zhou's father and son also saw it.

Zhou Bingkun almost broke his teeth.

Zhou Yijiang and Zhou Yihe could hardly control their temper. They clenched their fists and took a stance.

Zhou Yiyi raised his hand to stop his father and brother. Through the dim moonlight, he looked at the crazy Ye Xichen and cursed his mother inwardly.

[Damn it, you're taking advantage of me and still acting like a good kid.]

Without stopping, she turned around and walked away, saying, "This girl will give it to you."

The Zhou family father and son glared fiercely at Ye Xichen who was laughing wildly because of that sentence, turned around and followed Zhou Yiyi out of the Qi Palace.

Outside the palace.

The Zhou family's carriage had been waiting there for a long time.

Mrs. Zhou was standing outside the carriage, wandering anxiously. When she saw her daughter coming out, she hurriedly went to meet her and hugged her in her arms.

Zhou Bingkun urged in a low voice: "Hurry up and get in the car. Let's go back now. That madman will recover in a while. Who knows what kind of trouble he will cause."

Just now, in order to save Zhou Yiyi, Zhou and his son risked their lives. Now that they have rescued him, they are all scared and broke out in cold sweats.

That was Ye Xichen. Killing people was easier than blinking an eye. He could kill nine generations of a person's clan and dig up people's ancestral graves. It would be strange if he didn't do this for a day.

Everyone hurried home. When they got home, Zhou Bingkun told his two sons to be alert to any movement outside the house at all times.

Then he asked his wife to take Zhou Yiyi back to her boudoir and comfort her.

After entering the house, Mrs. Zhou, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help it anymore and tears fell down her face.

She hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.

Zhou Yiyi, in turn, comforted Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, I'm fine. Just think of it as a dog bite. Don't worry. It's late. Go back and rest."

Zhou Yiyi was really tired. Although she had taken recovery pills, only some parts of her body recovered as before. She still felt tired. She wished she could just fall into bed and fall asleep.

Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears, but was afraid that Zhou Yiyi would be upset, so she insisted on staying with her.

Zhou Yiyi simply didn't insist and just stayed with her. After going to bed, he fell asleep quickly without any hesitation.

Mrs. Zhou sat on the couch beside the bed, looking at her sleeping daughter, tears streaming down her face.

The night was unexpectedly calm.

Only when it was bright did Zhou's father and son breathe a sigh of relief and go to rest one after another.

The servants, who had been vigilant all night, had just fallen asleep when they heard someone knocking at the door outside the general's mansion.

The doorman saw groups of people standing outside, and the person calling the door was a eunuch.

He was so scared that even the sleepyhead ran away. He fell to the ground for a long time before he recovered and staggered in to report.

Zhou Bingkun had just fallen asleep.

When he was woken up, he heard that a eunuch had come to deliver the imperial edict, and he immediately prepared for the worst.

After returning yesterday, he thought a lot, but he did not regret saving people at all. He believed that if he could not even protect his daughter, he would not be worthy of being a father!

Zhou Bingkun asked his servants to help him dress neatly, cheered himself up, and went out to receive the order.

All the people in the Zhou family got up and gathered in the front yard, waiting for Zhou Bingkun.

Even Mrs. Zhou had a hard time calling Zhou Yiyi up.

Everyone looked at Zhou Bingkun with serious expressions.

Only Zhou Yiyi still looked sleepy.

But before Zhou Bingkun could speak, a sinister voice came from outside the door.

"General Zhou, you are so powerful that I have to wait outside the palace."

Following the sound, Ye Xichen walked in leisurely from outside, followed by a young eunuch holding the imperial edict in his hand.

Zhou Yiyi, who had just been woken up from her warm bed, was in a bad mood. When she saw that Ye Xichen had disturbed her sweet dream, she snorted loudly.

The sound was neither loud nor soft, and was heard by everyone present, even Ye Xichen who had just entered the room.

He saw Zhou Yiyi's big, hazy eyes and pouting mouth at a glance, looking at him impatiently.

He grinned and gave Zhou Yi a bright smile.

Zhou Yiyi was very disrespectful and rolled his eyes at him.

The eunuch holding the imperial edict saw this and immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "How dare you! You refused to kneel before the Regent.

She even defied the Regent's authority. Someone, come and capture that woman."

Zhou Yiyi didn't expect that this eunuch was taking advantage of the power of others and wanted to have her captured. Her eyes widened instantly.

Her angry expression looked particularly cute in Ye Chenxi's eyes.

He raised his foot and kicked the eunuch on the butt, and the eunuch immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

"I asked you to come here to read the imperial edict, not to scare my princess."

"Yes, yes, I'll announce it right away. I'll announce it right away."

The young eunuch wiped his cold sweat, stood up tremblingly, and opened the imperial edict. "Receive it on Monday."

He looked up at Zhou Yiyi and saw that she was unmoved. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and stared at Ye Xichen.

He quickly stole a glance at Ye Xichen and saw that he was not angry but rather amused, with a delighted smile on his lips. The young eunuch did not wait for Zhou Yi to kneel down and continued reading.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Miss Zhou Yiyi of the Zhou family, of exquisite beauty and gracious character, is betrothed to the Prince of Qi.

So ordered! "
