Chapter 1651 Iron Book of Alchemy

At this moment, Ye Zifen already understood in her heart that this was undoubtedly the most solid and reliable protection the emperor gave them.

Not long after, everyone saw the eunuch in gorgeous clothes walking slowly towards the retired emperor with steady steps.

He held the red-lettered iron certificate tightly in both hands, as if it were an inestimable and rare treasure, and took every step with extreme caution.

Looking at Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi again, they both had solemn and extremely serious expressions at this moment.

They stood side by side, and then knelt on both knees at the same time, their postures straight, like two standing green pines, quietly waiting for the coming reward.

The whole scene was unusually quiet, with only the slightest sound of the breeze blowing across the corners of clothes.

All I heard was that eunuch suddenly raised his voice, as loud as a bell, and shouted: "Princess, Duke Chong, please accept the imperial decree!"

This shout was like a sudden thunder, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere.

Then, Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi responded almost in unison, "Thank you, Lord!"

These four words were like the sound of a huge bell, echoing endlessly over the entire princess's mansion for a long time.

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch first bowed slightly and then carefully handed forward the red book and iron certificate in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zifen hurriedly stretched out her slender, fair hands, and with gentle yet graceful movements, she respectfully and carefully took the red-lettered certificate from her father-in-law.

The moment her fingers lightly touched the red seal and iron certificate, it seemed as if an invisible force was transmitted through her fingertips, causing her heart to tremble.

Zhang Gaoyi, who was standing aside, also had a solemn look on his face. He stared at the scene happening before him without blinking.

He was fully aware of the profound meaning and heavy responsibility behind this reward.

At this moment, the brilliant sunshine penetrated through the clouds just right and shone down, like a layer of golden veil gently covering the three of them.

The soft light illuminated everyone's face, adding a sense of sacredness to the already solemn scene.

Ye Zifen was seen holding the heavy red seal and iron certificate tightly in both hands, as if she was holding an invaluable treasure.

As the imperial edict was very heavy, she had no hands to help Zhang Gaoyi up who had fallen to the ground.

However, this red-lettered iron certificate is different from the ordinary imperial edicts, and it carries a greater meaning.

At this moment, the father-in-law who was standing nearby saw this scene, and hurriedly walked forward and carefully helped Zhang Gaoyi up from the ground.

The eunuch who had always been by the new emperor's side watched everything happening in front of him quietly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At this moment, the most important thing for Ye Zifen is to find a suitable place to properly enshrine the red book and iron certificate.

Thinking of this, she turned to the two fathers-in-law with a smile and said softly, "You two fathers-in-law have worked hard on the journey. Why don't you go into the house and have a cup of hot tea and take a rest for a while?"

However, the eunuch Huang beside the new emperor waved his hand without hesitation and politely declined, "Thank you Miss Ye for your kindness, but there are important matters waiting for me to report back to the palace! Time is running out, so I have to take my leave and return to the palace now."

Having said that, he turned around and strode away.

Seeing this, the other eunuch hesitated for a moment, but ultimately felt it was inconvenient to stay alone, so he quickly followed Eunuch Huang and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Ye Zifen hurriedly shouted, "Take care, Grandpa. I will come to thank you in person someday!"

Hearing this, Eunuch Huang did not turn around, but casually raised one hand to indicate that he understood. However, his pace did not slow down at all, and in the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared from sight.

Ye Zifen stared at their backs as they walked further and further away until they disappeared. The big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Gaoyi, who was standing aside, could not help but sigh deeply, his face full of emotion. He said with a slightly trembling voice: "It is really not easy to get this Danshu Tiequan! The difficulties and obstacles we have experienced are really hard to describe! This is the result we ultimately want, but the weight of this thing seems not enough at this time, and it even puts us under greater pressure."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her agreement, but her beautiful eyes were still fixed on the direction where her father-in-law left, as if some unknown secret was hidden there.

A breeze blew gently, raising some dust on the ground. The dust swirled in the air and then slowly fell down.

Ye Zifen then came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream. She carefully stretched out her hands, and gently held the red book and iron certificate in her arms as if she were protecting a rare treasure.

Then, she walked slowly towards the house with light and cautious steps.

Zhang Gaoyi did not dare to be negligent at all and followed her closely, fearing that anything might go wrong.

The two figures walked farther and farther away, and finally slowly disappeared into the courtyard.

But at this time, the scene in the court was quite different.

The ministers were having a heated discussion about the issue of awarding the imperial edict and the iron certificate. For a moment, the place was bustling with noise and excitement.

Some ministers expressed their agreement with this matter, and that minister respectfully bowed to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

He said loudly: "This is very appropriate, it should be so! The red book and iron certificate are the most glorious things, it is a blessing to receive this reward!"

However, some ministers disagreed with this and tried to persuade the emperor to change his mind.

One of the ministers looked anxious and excited and shouted loudly: "Absolutely not! This may be inappropriate. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting! Do not make a wrong decision because of the impulse of the moment!"

The court suddenly became noisy, with people expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly.

And the person sitting on the dragon throne at this moment was the emperor who ascended the throne on the first day.

The new emperor sat upright on the magnificent dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed, as if two deep grooves were running across his forehead.

His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, mercilessly scanned the ministers who were arguing fiercely below.

It seems as if one can see through everyone's words and facial expressions and see into everyone's most secret and true thoughts deep in their hearts.

The new emperor thought to himself: "Do I want to reward these so-called red books and iron certificates? He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, so it's better to directly confer a title or something!"
