As the sun rises, its light shines through the high red walls and onto the blue bricks inside the palace. The entire palace is bathed in golden light, appearing solemn and dignified.
Inside the main hall, all civil and military officials stood solemnly, their robes neatly arranged, their eyes all fixed on the dragon throne in the center.
The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting upright on the dragon throne, his eyes majestic and deep.
He held the imperial seal in his hand and scanned the entire audience, his expression revealing a hint of joy that was hard to conceal.
Taking advantage of the missing person case in the capital, he also directly summoned Shen Yuhan into the palace.
"We received victory news yesterday. Master Shen and General Jian solved the missing person case in the capital in one fell swoop, saved dozens of innocent people, and eliminated the human traffickers. It was really gratifying."
The emperor's voice echoed in the hall with a majestic power that shocked all the officials present.
The ministers immediately bowed respectfully and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Master Shen and General Jian have been loyal to the country and have made great contributions."
The emperor nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face: "Shen Yuhan, Jian Xianzhi, you two may come to the front of the palace."
Shen Yuhan and Jian Xianzhi stepped forward, both knelt down, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is here."
The emperor gazed at the two of them with a look of admiration in his eyes. "Shen Yuhan, Jian Xianzhi, you two performed exceptionally well in this operation. Not only did you rescue the abducted civilians, but you also uncovered a human trafficking ring colluding with foreign nations. I am deeply pleased and am hosting a banquet to commend your contributions."
Shen Yuhan and Jian Xianzhi both cupped their hands and said in unison, "I dare not take any credit for this. It is all due to the great blessing of Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled slightly and then waved his hand for them to stand up.
"You don't need to be so modest. I have decided to hold a banquet in the Palace of Heavenly Purity tomorrow to reward our meritorious officials. Not only will I reward your achievements, but I will also let the world know that our Daliang's loyal officials and generals are worthy of the people's expectations."
Although Shen Yuhan looked calm, he knew in his heart that although this victory was exciting, the conspiracy behind it had not yet been fully revealed.
The emperor was even more satisfied when he saw the determined expressions of the two men.
As the emperor, he knew the value of loyal ministers in the court, and Shen Yuhan and Jian Xianzhi were undoubtedly his most trusted confidants.
Especially Shen Yuhan, who not only made many military achievements on the battlefield, but was also known for his calmness and wisdom in the court. He was a sharp sword in his eyes.
"Shen Yuhan." The emperor suddenly called.
Shen Yuhan immediately bowed: "I am here."
The emperor smiled slightly, his tone gentle yet profound. "I remember you mentioned earlier that the investigation uncovered traces of foreign influence. This matter is of grave importance and must be thoroughly investigated. I will not tolerate any intrusion upon the peace of Daliang."
Shen Yuhan's heart trembled. The importance of this matter was self-evident. He said solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to find out the truth and will not let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity."
The emperor nodded, a hint of expectation in his eyes: "I believe you."
At this time, Jian Xianzhi also said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight side by side with Master Shen, swearing to eliminate foreign threats and restore peace to the capital."
The emperor looked at these two loyal ministers with satisfaction, and a sense of heroism suddenly arose in his heart.
He waved his hand to dismiss the court, but before leaving, he specifically reminded them: "You must attend tomorrow's palace banquet. I will personally pour wine for you."
Shen Yuhan and Jian Xianzhi saluted again and retreated respectfully.
In the evening, Fang Qingyue sat by the bed, holding a bowl of warm medicine in her hand, her face looking a little pale.
She carefully blew away the hot air on the rim of the bowl, then took a sip of the medicine, frowning slightly.
Although the medicine is bitter, she must persevere for the sake of the baby in her belly.
She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, and a feeling of tenderness surged in her heart.
Just as she was concentrating on the bowl of medicine in her hand, the door of the clinic was pushed open and Shen Yuhan's tall figure appeared at the door.
His steps were steady and powerful, with a faint smile on his face.
Fang Qingyue heard the noise and looked up. A hint of surprise and panic flashed in her eyes, but then she regained her composure and quickly placed the bowl of medicine in her hand on the table beside her.
"Young Master, why are you here?" Fang Qingyue's tone was gentle, but she felt a little nervous in her heart.
Shen Yuhan walked into the room, his eyes swept across the medicine bowl on the table, his brows slightly furrowed, and his tone was filled with concern: "Why are you taking medicine? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fang Qingyue didn't know how to answer for a moment and felt anxious.
She was hesitating about how to explain, but Fang Chiyue came out from the inner room at the right time with a roll of herbs in her hand.
"Master Shen," Fang Chiyue said softly, with a perfect smile on her face, "Sister has been a little tired recently. She saw patients until late last night, so she took some medicine this morning to recuperate. Don't worry, I personally prepared this medicine for Sister, and it will help relieve her fatigue."
After hearing this, Shen Yuhan's expression relaxed a little, but he was still a little worried.
He nodded gently, his tone carrying a hint of gentle reproach: "Qingyue, you must take care of your health. The clinic is busy, but remember to take care of yourself."
Fang Qingyue smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Seeing that she looked normal, Shen Yuhan stopped asking questions.
He pulled out a scroll of imperial edict from his sleeve, unfolded it, and handed it to Fang Qingyue: "This is the imperial edict that the emperor just issued. Tomorrow, the Qianqing Palace will hold a banquet to commend us for solving the missing person case in the capital."
"The Emperor has specifically asked me to come and inform you that you will also be entering the palace tomorrow."
Fang Qingyue took the imperial edict, a hint of surprise on her face: "The emperor still remembers me?"
