Chapter 485 Wedding Night--
Time passed by minute by minute.
Xie Jingmo became more and more silent.
Finally, when Deputy General Gao spoke to him, he remained silent.
Fu Hai was indeed worried that Xie Jingmo would not be able to hold on, so he returned to the restaurant and brought him some filling snacks.
Everyone thought that Xie Jingmo wouldn't eat it.
But Fu Hai said, "Your Majesty, please use some. This was specially made when the master left. She said that if you come, she will serve this to you. She also said that she will definitely come back on time."
Xie Jingmo lowered his head stiffly and looked at the snacks in front of him.
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Fu Hai raised his hand and handed over a glass of fruit wine.
The fruit wine was mellow and delicious. Fu Hai said, "My master said this is Hehuan wine. She brewed it for you personally. Please try it."
Xie Jingmo finally ate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But some people can't relax.
The kneeling noble ladies frowned, especially Li Wan. The emperor didn't eat a single bite of the food she had just brought over.
Now she had to eat food brought to her by a servant, which made her feel so embarrassed.
But it’s okay!
Li Wan secretly clenched her fists, she has ambition!
As long as time is given, the emperor will definitely forget Yun Zhao.
Time passes by little by little.
When the last moment of the day passed, Xie Jingmo's heart sank heavily.
The fifteenth day has passed.
Yun Zhao did not come back.
Several kneeling noble ladies showed happy smiles in their eyes!
Very good!
Yun Zhao didn’t come back!
Their chance has come!
Everyone turned to look at their families with joy, unable to conceal the happiness in their eyes.
Fu Hai narrowed his eyes and was about to go over to teach her a lesson when he heard a deep voice, almost coming from within her body, "She's not back."
Deputy General Gao and Fu Hai both slowly lowered their heads.
Fu Hai couldn't bear it, "Your Majesty, the journey here is long, maybe she was delayed on the way. Since the master has agreed to your request, she will definitely come back."
"Fu Hai!" the Minister of Revenue roared, "What are your intentions? Since the agreed date hasn't come, the marriage proposal is invalid. The Emperor is exhausted, and you're still here, stirring things up. What are your intentions?"
"That's right, Fu Hai!" The Minister of Rites immediately said, "Today is the day for the wedding. The Emperor needs to choose another marriage partner, not waste time here."
"That's right," the Prime Minister said immediately, "Choosing a queen is a major matter. We can't miss the right time. Your Majesty, please decide on the queen soon."
“…”
Everyone was talking at once.
Xie Jingmo turned his head solemnly and glanced at these people coldly.
Everyone finally shut up.
The night gradually deepened.
There was no sign of anyone returning in the distance.
Everyone firmly believed that Yun Zhao was dead.
Xie Jingmo suddenly started coughing loudly, and Vice Admiral Gao was startled. "You must be too tired and have caught a cold. Jingmo, go back to the palace first. If you continue to endure it, you won't be able to hold on."
Apart from some snacks, Xie Jingmo didn't eat anything. It was already the sixth day and his body had reached its limit.
Deputy General Gao looked at Xie Jingmo's shaky body and was about to help him back.
Li Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and walked to Xie Jingmo's side. After pushing Deputy General Gao aside, she whispered to Xie Jingmo, "Your Majesty, let me serve you."
As soon as these words came out.
The noble ladies on the ground were not willing to be outdone and stood up one after another.
They all stood in front of Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo only felt a strong smell of rouge rushing into his nostrils. He felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Someone is coming!"
"Someone is coming from afar!"
"Look!"
When Xie Jingmo heard this, his body shook violently and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Then he turned his head quickly.
The first gentle light of the morning slowly rises.
Everyone saw a figure suddenly appear on the plain in the distance.
The man was leaning over his horse, with a round object tied to its body, and it was galloping towards them in the early morning light.
Like the first ray of light piercing the darkness.
The light shone on the delicate body, and the person seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, and everyone stared at the man intently.
Getting closer.
Getting closer and closer.
Finally, the horse arrived at the city gate at a rapid speed.
Everyone saw Yun Zhao, who they all thought was dead. There were dried blood stains on her face. She arrived in front of Xie Jingmo but did not get off the horse.
She untied the bag on the horse and handed the things out.
She smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth. She said to Xie Jingmo and everyone at the city gate, "Look, this is the wedding gift I returned to you. See if you like it."
Xie Jingmo didn't even look at the bag in front of him.
He just looked at Yun Zhao, and finally laughed too, with tears in his smile.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Someone was injured on the way, and I treated them. I was delayed, but I hurried as fast as I could, and now I'm here! Why do you look so aggrieved? How could someone bully you?"
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he raised his eyes majestically.
She was sitting on the horse at the moment, and with just a glance, she knew what had happened.
She sneered, stared at the civil officials, and asked, "Are you bullying my husband?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison, "Slave dare not."
After all, she was the empress dowager, so Yun Zhao must understand what these civil officials were thinking.
She glanced at the people present, and her gaze fixed on Li Wan for a moment.
She laughed suavely, "It seems that someone is trying to take my position as queen while I'm away. I'm a stingy person. Someone bullied my husband today, and I will definitely pay them back double in the future." After saying that, Yun Zhao extended her hand to Xie Jingmo, "Let's go home and get married!"
Xie Jingmo smiled, got on Yun Zhao's horse, and the two of them swaggered into the city.
There were only a bunch of noble ladies and ministers left.
Fu Hai pointed at the bundle in Deputy General Gao's hand that Yun Zhao had just handed over, "What is this? It stinks."
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Under everyone's gaze, Deputy General Gao opened the bundle.
“Ugh~”
“Ugh~”
"vomit!!!"
"Human heads?!"
"The head of the frontier leader?!"
"Oh my god, Yun Zhao killed the border leader?!"
"Yun Zhao killed the border leader? Doesn't that mean we'll win the border battle without a fight?!"
"In the coming decades, people in border areas will be able to live and work in peace and contentment!"
Deputy General Gao chuckled, held the frontier leader's head high, knelt down in the direction Yun Zhao had left, and shouted, "The Queen is mighty, may the Queen live a thousand years!"
With a loud crash.
Everyone in the Ministry of War knelt down.
Then came the dissatisfied civil officials and the reluctant noble ladies.
Everyone followed suit and shouted, "The Queen is so majestic! Long live the Queen!"
When the people along the street heard the good news, they also knelt down.
For a moment, the entire Kyoto city was filled with shouts of, "Long live the Queen, long live the Queen!"
Those who were brave enough to look up when the horses passed by would see their mighty emperor with red eyes, whining and acting coquettishly.
Everyone was smiling.
Everyone understood that the Xie family would usher in the hard-earned stability in decades.
That day.
Meiyu Restaurant sent Yun Zhao off to get married with a red wedding dress.
The young king came to the restaurant to marry his noble bride.
The entire road was covered with flowers, and the whole country celebrated for three days and three nights.
That day.
Wedding night.
