Chapter 74
Who doesn’t want to capture Lu Ping and bring him back to Beijing as soon as possible?
But the tightly closed city gate is too high to be easy to break into, and it would require the sacrifice of human lives.
Lu Ziyan could not be so eager for quick success and disregard the lives of soldiers for his own credit.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow, impatiently saying, "Everyone get out."
The argument stopped immediately, and several generals looked at each other, bowed and retreated.
The tent became quiet.
Lu Ziyan closed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and looked unhappy.
Recently, he always had a dream. After waking up, he could not remember the scene in the dream clearly. Only the feeling of pain and despair remained and could not dissipate for a long time.
Even though I can't remember what caused it, the pain seems to have penetrated deep into my bones and is inseparable from me.
It was hard for him to describe the feeling.
My chest feels empty, as if a cold wind is constantly pouring in, whistling away all the warmth, leaving only a dead silence and emptiness.
The most serious injury Lu Ziyan suffered was when he was investigating a case in Youzhou a year ago. He was ambushed by a local bureaucrat and his back was slashed from the left shoulder to the lower back by the enemy. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
Even an injury like that didn't make him feel this bad.
A dream whose content he couldn't even remember, but it made him so painful that he couldn't sleep at night.
...Lu Ziyan vaguely understood that it was the pain of loss.
Because he had felt this when he agreed to cancel the engagement.
But even though he broke off the engagement with that girl, he was not so desperate as to become dead silent.
The me in the dream must have lost something that made me so miserable.
His heart inexplicably tightened, Lu Ziyan took a deep breath, spread out the rice paper, and picked up the brush again.
This time, the words written on the top of the head were "Your Majesty".
Even though Mingjian wrote to say that everything was fine in the capital, he was still worried.
Perhaps the dream was telling him something...
He won't be completely at ease unless he keeps the person under his watch.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to fight in the war here, Lu Ziyan would have rushed back to the capital at full speed and kidnapped the girl who made him worried and yearning for her to join the army.
But since he can't leave, I can only ask Your Majesty to look after him.
In the capital city, the emperor that Lu Ziyan was thinking of was looking at his elder sister with a frown.
"Changqing has taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Marquis Xuanping?" The emperor thought for a few breaths and asked, "Is it the eldest daughter of the Xie family that Tong Runzhi was engaged to?"
"It's her," Princess Duanyang nodded and said, "But her engagement with the Lu family has been cancelled, and all the marriage letters have been returned. Nowadays, men and women marrying each other is irrelevant. My husband and I are not pedantic people. It doesn't matter if the engagement has been cancelled. As long as Changqing is willing to marry her, it's fine."
Not to mention breaking off an engagement, even if the woman was getting divorced, as long as her son liked her, she wouldn't even shake her head.
Over the years, Princess Duanyang has been so eager to find a daughter-in-law that she has become completely unselective.
Seeing how anxious his elder sister was, the emperor also thought of his own nephew who was still alone at his age. Now he finally had a girl he liked. His originally hesitant heart settled down instantly, and he smiled and said, "In this case, I will issue an order to help this couple get married."
…Since the engagement has been cancelled, there probably isn’t much affection left.
The imperial decree granting marriage arrived at the Marquis Xuanping’s residence on the same day.
Zheng received the order, calculated the wedding date in her mind, and told Madam Li beside her, "Go to the farm and bring the girl back."
The wedding date is just around the corner, how can I still live in the villa?
No matter what, you still have to do the sewing on the wedding dress yourself for good luck.
…………
When Xie Wan Ning heard that the wedding was only ten days away, she was also surprised. She turned around and looked at the man sitting next to the piano and asked, "So soon?" She planned to get married within March, but it was not even March yet.
"This is the best day that the senior monk of Zhenguo Temple found based on our horoscopes." Pei Yuqing said, "If you miss this day, the next auspicious day will be in half a year."
Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning had no more objections.
The sooner the better. She had been planning to get married early.
But... she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Princess Duanyang was indeed powerful.
After a month of hard work, not only were all things settled, but the wedding date was also decided by imperial decree.
She was given enough respect and honor.
She put down the jade flute in her hand and said, "I'm going back to Beijing."
Over the past month, they have been together almost day and night, except for the fact that they did not sleep in the same bed at night.
One of them was already deeply in love, and the other also had a great liking for the other, so their relationship quickly heated up.
We are all a little reluctant to part now that we have to.
Especially Pei Yuqing, he paused for a long time after resting his knuckles on the strings, and then hummed softly, "I'll go back with you."
It was still the same carriage, and they were still sitting opposite each other.
Xie Wan Ning felt complicated when she thought that she would be marrying the man opposite her in ten days.
There is joy, there is anxiety, and a hint of panic.
Seeing this, Pei Yuqing ignored his reluctance and held her hand: "But the wedding date is approaching, are you a little nervous?"
Xie Wan Ning did not hide it, nodded slowly, and asked him again: "Aren't you nervous?"
"...Nervous." Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes and looked at her, saying, "I am nervous every day."
His eyes were affectionate and extremely gentle.
Being stared at in such a manner, Xie Wan Ning's panic in her heart suddenly calmed down.
Yes, there is nothing to be nervous about. This is not like the time when I married Lu Ziyan in the dream, when I had no confidence at all and put on the wedding dress relying only on my courage.
The man in front of her loved her so much. Apart from her closest relatives, the deepest love she had felt in the past ten years came from him.
His love is neither passionate nor reckless, but gentle and subtle.
As we spend time together day after day, it reveals itself unconsciously.
No one would dislike the feeling of being loved so tenderly, and Xie Wan Ning is no exception.
She patted the spot beside her and said, "Come and hug me."
Her tone was calm, but with a hint of arrogance, as if she was acting like a spoiled child.
She is indeed acting like a spoiled child.
After spending some time together, the little girl became more and more squeamish and would not stop until she had made him suffer enough.
Pei Yuqing held her hand tightly and sat beside her as she said. He then hugged her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. He asked, "Will you miss me if we don't see each other for ten days?"
Xie Wan Ning grabbed his collar, buried her face in his arms and sniffed gently, saying, "I don't know."
She had experienced this once before when the wedding date was approaching. She was so busy that she had no time to think about him.
Pei Yuqing sighed softly, tightened his arms, and hugged the heartless girl in his arms.
He didn't say anything, but Xie Wan Ning felt itchy in her heart. She raised her head from his arms, put her lips close to him, and kissed his jaw heavily.
The 'baji' sound is very loud.
Pei Yuqing was stunned by the kiss, and then he heard the little girl in his arms say with a smile: "Who said we won't see each other for ten days? If you want to see me, you can come find me."
