Behind him knelt people from Prince Duan's mansion, including Tang Yiming, Gou Gui, who was picking willows and bamboos, and Mei Gu. They all wore plain clothes and knelt in the Buddhist hall with sorrowful looks on their faces.

"Young Marquis, the princess was most concerned about you before she left. You must take good care of yourself and not let her efforts go to waste."

Zheliu burst into tears and choked up, "Even if I have to die, it should be me who goes. The princess is alone in the underground, I will go to accompany her now!"

As she was about to hit the pillar, Tang Yiming quickly pulled her back, "That's enough, can you bring the princess back by trying to commit suicide?"

"If the princess knew that you were trying to commit suicide for her, she would never rest in peace in her grave."

Tang Yiming said with red eyes: "When the war in Yongcheng is over, the prince will carry the coffin back to the capital. Don't you want to see the princess again?"

These words touched their hearts. Zhe Liu calmed down and took a deep breath, "Yes, I want to see the princess off for the last time."

She knelt up straight, picked up the paper money and continued to burn it.

Wanzhu could no longer cry out, her voice was hoarse, and she could only numbly throw paper money into the basin, watching the flames jump up, and muttered, "I will burn more, so that the princess can live better down there."

“Sister—wuwuwuwu—”

Rong Qiao was young after all, and he still had so much energy after howling for such a long time. He stood up, drank some water, then knelt down and continued crying.

The Buddhist hall was filled with his voice.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by loud shouts coming from far away, "Great joy, great joy!"

Rong Qiao was immediately furious, "Great joy? How can there be any such thing as great joy when my sister is dead? Whoever is talking nonsense outside, arrest him! I must teach him a lesson!"

Gou Gui quickly stood up to see what was going on, and saw the doorman crawling in, holding a letter in his hand: "Yes, there is news! King, King, Princess——"

"What's wrong? Who the hell asked Stutter to do that? Can a Stutterer guard the door?"

Rong Qiao came out quickly, and the doorman immediately said: "Princess - live, live, live -"

"What do you mean by life or death? Are you crazy?" He snatched the letter from the doorman. The doorman was so anxious that his face turned red, and he finally uttered the last two words.

"Alive!"

"what?!"

The whole room was in uproar. Everyone stood up and gathered around. Zheliu wiped her tears and asked with walnut eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Really!" The doorman was so anxious that he scratched his head. "It was rushed to the palace in an emergency of eight, eight, eight hundred miles!"

Rong Qiao's face changed drastically when he heard that. He tore open the envelope, took out the letter and looked at it. His hands were shaking like he had a stroke, and his lips were trembling, but he didn't say a word.

The others were extremely anxious. Mei Gu frowned and said, "Lord, take it easy. Don't get too excited. Don't overdo it—"

Before he could utter the word "go", Rong Qiao closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell straight down.

"Hey? Hey?! Lord!"

"Master Hou——"

"Hurry up and help the Marquis back to his room! Doctor Mei, please take a look at him, what's wrong with him?"

The courtyard was suddenly in chaos.

Rong Qiao was hurriedly carried into the bedroom. Mei Gu stretched out his hand to feel her pulse and shook his head, "It's okay. I'm too happy. Too happy."

Gou Gui was suspicious, "What did the letter say?"

He took it and took a look. He immediately gasped, his eyes widened in disbelief and he said, "The princess is alive?"

……

"Really alive?!" The emperor stood up suddenly and looked at the messenger kneeling in the middle of the hall in disbelief.

"Yes, news came from Yongcheng that Prince Duan's true love moved heaven and earth, and Princess Duan's merits were fulfilled, so the fairy music played, the fairy cranes cleared the way, and the auspicious clouds formed a ladder to send the princess back. The princess just sat up from the ice coffin, and everyone present at the time saw it clearly."

The emperor read the letter again in a daze, feeling surprised, happy, and absurd, "Is there really a God?"

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but he didn't show them.

After all, he was an emperor, and his emotions were not revealed on his face. He quickly adjusted his mood, sat back and asked, "What's the situation in Yongcheng?"

"Your Majesty, we won a great victory in Yongcheng. Prince Duan led his army to capture two cities in a row and killed the nine tribes in pieces. They all wrote to ask for peace and are willing to pay tribute every year in order to live in peace!"

The emperor took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He felt relieved but also a little complicated. After all, it was the ninth brother who took up the important responsibility.

He was silent for a moment, then said in a loud voice: "Pass on my decree. For the meritorious service of repelling the enemy, Prince Duan and his wife will be granted a red-lettered iron certificate, so that their descendants can enjoy prosperity. The rest of the people will be rewarded at the celebration banquet after the return of the army!"

"Yes!"

……

When the imperial edict reached Yongcheng, Qin Yunxian had already dealt with everything and was preparing to return to Yundu, with An Shicheng accompanying him.

Before leaving, the people of Yongcheng lined the streets to see him off, reluctant to see him go.

Rong Heqing came out of the carriage and waved at them, "Everyone, stop kneeling and go back. You have worked hard during this period."

The people became excited when they saw her.

Some gave eggs, some gave embroidery, they were extremely enthusiastic.

Rong and Qing were all confiscated, and everyone was allowed to take them back and live a good life.

After a long period of appeasement, the people stood up and watched them leave.

Rong Heqing returned to the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief, "You are so enthusiastic. I am a little embarrassed."

"you deserved."

Qin Yunxian placed the teacup in front of her: "Try it, this is the flower tea I just brewed with honey."

"Yeah." Rong Heqing took it and drank two sips, leaning back on his shoulder, "We can finally go home."

They chased Jingwei all the way to Yongcheng. The leaves were lush green when they came, but had turned yellow when they returned.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year has passed.

"Ah Xian, what do you think our father will do to us when we return this time? Will he think that our achievements are greater than ours?"

She really had no confidence in the emperor; he was too suspicious and too sensitive.

Qin Yunxian shook his head. Seeing that her hair was a little messy, he patted his thigh and said, "Lie down. I'll help you comb your hair."

Rong Heqing then lay on his lap.

Qin Yunxian untied her hairband, picked up the jade comb and combed her hair from the roots, saying as he combed: "No matter what he thinks, I plan to ask for the fiefdom."

"Hmm?" Rong Heqing was startled. "Ask yourself to go to the fiefdom?"

Qin Yunxian lowered his eyes to look into her eyes, and thought she looked cute in such a silly way. He couldn't help but lower his head to steal a kiss, and said softly: "My leg has healed, and I have made such a great military achievement. I will definitely be envied. After going through the life-and-death crisis, I am also tired of the days of fighting and struggling. It's lonely at the top, so I might as well live in seclusion in the mountains and rivers."

"We will live in our own fiefdom by then, and you can do whatever you want. We don't have to worry about those conspiracies and plots. We can eat whatever you want to eat, play whatever you want to play, and take Xiao Chu and the others with us if we want to go out. We will be free and unrestrained. Isn't it wonderful?"
