Chapter 491: Imperial Decree of Marriage
"I am Zhang Zhiyi, the commander-in-chief of the Beisha City garrison!"
A silver token was held up, emitting silver light in full view of everyone.
This is proof of his identity.
"I can testify that the Miss Shu He of the Shu family you just mentioned, the future Princess Li, is indeed as the imperial edict says. She is a benevolent doctor and a heroine who defeated the enemy Beidi!"
"While you were enjoying yourself in restaurants and drinking, chatting and laughing, Beisha City was besieged by the Northern Di people and no reinforcements were arriving. It was Miss Shu and General Nan who held the city walls and saved Beisha City!"
"If it weren't for her, Beisha City would have been conquered by Shen Chuan of Beidi long ago!"
"It was she who burned the city walls and bravely defended the gates of Beisha City! It was she who, with her cunning strategy, defeated the enemy and buried the Beidi army in a sea of fire! It was also she who, after the great battle, without a moment's rest, went to the army to treat the surviving but seriously injured soldiers!"
"It was even she who discovered a crop called potatoes, planted them on a large scale in Beisha City, and traded them with surrounding towns in advance, thus providing a glimmer of hope for the famine-stricken people of Beisha City!"
"You only know that Kyoto is prosperous and Apocalypse is flourishing, but you don't know how many people on the border have paid countless blood and sweat for this, and how many soldiers have lost their lives for this!"
"A hero who has brought glory to our country will not be allowed to be blasphemed or insulted by anyone!"
"If I hear you insult the future Princess Li again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
As soon as Li Se finished speaking, he swung his sword, and the table of the people who had just mocked and ridiculed Shu He was instantly chopped off by the cold light.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly dodged away, and only came to their senses after Zhang Zhiyi's angry figure left.
The restaurant owner looked at the small piece of silver left on the counter with admiration in his eyes.
"It's General Zhang!"
"He's the hero who, along with the Southern and Northern Generals, defeated Shen Chuan's 100,000-man army of the Northern Di!"
"Even he testified for Miss Shu, so it can't be false, right?"
"Could it be that what the imperial edict said is all true?"
"But, how is this possible?"
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Zhiyi went directly to Prince Li's mansion.
Zhang Zhirou also heard the news, and the two siblings arrived almost at the same time.
"Brother? What are you doing here?"
Zhang Zhiyi's face didn't look very good. "If I don't come, are you planning to never go home?"
Zhang Zhirou curled her lips and said, "It's such a wonderful day today, could you please not be so disappointing?"
Zhang Zhiyi glanced at her coldly, then asked the guard to report.
“Sister! Sister!!”
The voice arrives before the person does, and this is what Zhang Zhirou is talking about.
Uncle Zhang and Madam Wang both came out, their faces filled with excitement and joy.
"It's Miss Zhang! Long time no see!"
"Uncle Zhang! Madam Wang!!"
Zhang Zhirou was so excited to see the two of them that tears welled up in her eyes. "You guys are in Kyoto too! That's great!"
"Sister Arou!" Yier heard Zhang Zhirou's voice and ran over from the garden in the front yard.
When Uncle Zhang and Madam Wang saw her coming back from playing, they quickly took out hawthorn hibiscus cake and osmanthus cake from the kitchen and gave them to her.
"Yier, come on, your favorite cakes are freshly made!"
Madam Wang also gave two pieces to Zhang Zhirou and Zhang Zhiyi.
Zhang Zhiyi felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Uncle Zhang persuaded him repeatedly and finally he let him take two bites.
Madam Wang gave the remaining plate to Zhang Zhirou. "Miss Zhang, you're going to look for Madam He... Oh, no, our princess. Please take her there!"
Mrs. Zhang's round face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had deepened a lot.
Zhang Zhirou laughed heartily and teased, "Madam Wang, the prince hasn't even gotten married yet, why are you changing your mind so quickly? I see you're even more anxious than the prince!"
Madam Wang patted her shoulder lightly and scolded her, "You girl, you really are...!!" You have no respect for the elderly at all!
Uncle Zhang laughed and said, "It's only a matter of time! The imperial decree has been issued, so there's nothing wrong with changing your mind now!"
"The prince and princess have finally achieved their goal. This is truly a great blessing!"
Uncle Zhang suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to Zhang Zhirou and her brother, "Stay for dinner today! We have to celebrate!"
Zhang Zhirou nodded repeatedly, "Great, great! It's been a while since I've had the crystal sweet lotus root made by Madam Wang. Today, I'm going to have my fill!"
Madam Wang happily responded, "Okay, okay, I'll get ready right away!"
Uncle Zhang called a servant over and said, "Quickly take General Zhang and Miss Zhang to Hong'an Pavilion. The prince and his men are in the study."
The servant nodded in agreement and led the two men to the back.
Yi'er didn't go, but packed some of the imperial cakes sent from the palace.
Seeing how seriously she was working, Lady Wang asked in confusion, "Little Princess, what are you doing?"
Now Yi'er is a princess, so you can't call her by her name anymore, otherwise people will look down on her!
Yi'er turned to look at her and said with a smile, "I want to share these delicious foods that Grandpa gave me with Sister Arou, Sister Yazhi, Brother Ali, and Grandma Zhang!"
"It's a pity that Yaoyao is not here, and Shanwai Valley is too far away. Otherwise, Yaoyao and the others would definitely like these cakes very much!"
Madam Wang was filled with relief. Yi'er had become a little princess, but she was still the same kind and innocent as before, always thinking about others.
As soon as she came back, she gave some pastries to her and Uncle Zhang. She even kept two pieces to study and see if she could make the same pastries in the future.
In the study of Hong'an Pavilion, Shu He's face was not looking very good.
Baili Moqing tried to console him, "Are you worried about the words in the imperial edict?"
"Don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements for the Zheng family. Not to mention that the Zheng family has no evidence, even if Zheng Zihe connected your identity through the words in the imperial edict, he can't do anything."
"Besides, with the Emperor's uncle as a witness, no one can possibly link you to 'Liu Ruxin'!"
Shu He leaned against the window, drinking the Tianshan Snow Bud tea he had brewed, and the worry between his brows disappeared.
"I'm not worried about the Zheng family." She placed the empty teacup on the windowsill, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him. "I'm just curious. When the emperor learned about what I did in Beisha City, he didn't find it strange at all?"
"Logically speaking, given my past reputation, no one would have thought that I was someone who could perform both medical and martial arts, right?"
"In just four years, I was about to give birth, lost my mind again, and regained my sanity not long ago. In such a short period of time, I have mastered both medical skills and martial arts. He doesn't doubt it at all?"
Not only did he not doubt it, he also issued an imperial decree granting the marriage at the speed of light...
This doesn't seem like the style of this Apocalyptic Emperor!
Baili Moqing looked at her, his eyes moved slightly, and he walked forward, put his arm around her waist, let her close to him, and asked in a low voice, "I'm also curious about this!"
"Why don't you explain it to me first?"
His face and hers were so close, and the warm breath made their gazes gradually warmer.
"Sister He!!"
A figure as nimble as a rabbit suddenly rushed into the study.
When Shu He saw the person coming, she subconsciously pushed Baili Moqing away, but she didn't expect him to pull her back forcefully, and their bodies got closer.
