Chapter 242 The imperial edict has arrived!
The bright red blood flowed into the courtyard, melting the white snow. The snow mixed with the blood dyed a large area of the ground red. The rioting people looked at this scene and were also stunned.
There was a hint of surprise in Shu He's eyes. She really didn't expect that Ziying would be so courageous that he would actually commit suicide by hitting his head against the wall!
She is really loyal to Zhu Zifeng.
It's a pity. If such a person could follow the right master, he would probably have a relatively happy life.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Suddenly, the rumbling of horse hooves echoed outside the courtyard. People on both sides of the road made way, their eyes following the galloping horses. Behind them were two extremely luxurious, large, square-topped black carriages.
Rong Xia, who was hiding in the crowd, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Imperial edict, how come it arrived early?
"King of Dongli, Baili Moqing, accepts the order!"
When the messenger entered the courtyard, people knelt on the ground inside and outside the courtyard.
Seeing the imperial edict was like seeing the emperor, and a loud cheer immediately rang out in the courtyard.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
However, looking at the person who came, Baili Moqing sat in a wheelchair with calm eyes, as if everything was within his expectations.
His expression was calm, and his tone was devoid of any emotion. He said, "Baili Moqing, accept the order!"
The man glanced at Baili Moqing, who did not kneel down, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he did not dwell on it too much and just quickly read out the imperial edict.
Shu He listened for a moment, and the general meaning was that during the Northern Di attack on Beisha City, Baili Moqing wisely utilized his talents and orchestrated his troops effectively, defeating the majority with a tiny minority, recreating the divine power of Tianqi! Therefore, Baili Moqing's title of King of Dongli is hereby restored, and he is granted the title of First-Class Prince, bestowing upon him the title of Prince of Dongli!
At this point, the part about Baili Moqing was finished. After Baili Moqing accepted the order and expressed his gratitude, the messenger continued to speak. This time, the part was about Shu He.
"Prince Li's daughter, He Shu, displayed unparalleled wit and bravery during the Northern Di siege. With only 5,000 defenders, she defeated the Northern Di army of 50,000. Her contribution to the defense of Beisha City was immense, demonstrating the bravery of a woman of Tianqi! I am deeply pleased and am bestowing upon her a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a three-story mansion on Zhengping Street in Kyoto as a reward!"
"Appreciate this!"
Shu He was a little stunned after hearing this.
How come the emperor knew about her defending the city?
Didn't Liu Xi say that it was Nangong Xin, Zhang Zhiyi, and the others who reported the Princess to the capital? How come not only did Baili Moqing get the credit, but she also got such a big advantage?!
Baili Moqing saw that she was in a daze and patted her gently.
"Doctor He Shu, are you accepting my order?"
Shu He came back to his senses and immediately shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
The imperial edict was received by Baili Moqing. Shu He just shouted it out, which was equivalent to receiving the edict. Who asked them to write it on the same imperial edict?
After Baili Moqing received the imperial edict, the people also shouted "Long live the emperor".
"Congratulations, Prince Li! I still have to go to the garrison camp to convey the emperor's commendation. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now!"
Baili Moqing nodded and asked Nanqi to send the person out.
The people looked at him with excitement and joy in their eyes. He could see that they were genuinely happy for him.
"Great! The prince has finally regained his title! He no longer has to bear the scorn and humiliation of being an 'exile'!"
"God has eyes!"
Many people even cried with joy.
However, many people's eyes remained on Shu He in excitement.
They heard the imperial edict just now very clearly.
"That day on the city wall, the woman who bravely defeated the Northern Di siege army with her peerless beauty, was that the doctor's wife?"
"No wonder she looked familiar to me. It turns out the woman who bravely killed the enemy on the city wall that night was the doctor!"
"I heard that General Nan's strategy of using rice, flour, grain, and oil to repel the enemy was proposed by a woman. Could it be her too?"
Li Ziwei couldn't believe it, but the facts forced him to believe it.
"She's skilled in medicine and can kill enemies at the same time. Isn't that incredible? Let alone Tianqi, even if you look across the entire world, you can't find a woman with such unparalleled wisdom and courage, right?"
At this time, in the eyes of the people of Beisha City, Shu He had become another god-like figure in the Apocalypse Kingdom.
The people's discussions filled Zhu Zifeng's face with resentment.
It turned out to be the city she was guarding!
This woman was clearly not mentioned in the eldest princess's memorial reporting her achievements, so why did the emperor know about this?
She was completely defeated, but that woman became the most heroic woman in Apocalypse!
Why does this happen?
A woman from the underworld, what right does she have? !
Oh my God, are you blind?
Nanqi had just sent the messenger out when he frowned. Why did this little ancestor come?
"The Eleventh Princess has arrived, and Prince Xiaoyang has arrived!"
As the voice fell, a pink and lively figure ran in, carrying a thick skirt.
“Seventh Brother!!”
Baili Moqing was slightly stunned, with surprise in his eyes.
Little Eleven? Why is she here?
The girl rushed in at a trot, and when she saw Baili Moqing sitting in a wheelchair, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Seventh Brother, how did you become like this? Your legs..."
Could it be that the news Father had received was true? Was Seventh Brother really going to die soon?
Baili Moqing pushed her hand away somewhat unnaturally, his face darkening, "Xiao Shiyi, stand still!"
What does it look like to be pulling and tugging in front of so many people?
Princess Eleven's tearful face was filled with stubbornness. "I won't! You're going to die. If Eleven doesn't come, I'll never see you again!"
Baili Moqing was about to speak when he saw another middle-aged man walk in from outside.
He possessed a noble demeanor, clad in an indigo-blue brocade robe. Its wide sleeves and hem were embroidered with exaggerated silver peony flowers. The cuffs and collar were trimmed with red and gold auspicious clouds. A wide, cyan belt adorned his waist, accentuating his paunch.
With a distressed smile on his face, he walked straight towards Baili Moqing, "Xiao Qi, the emperor's uncle missed you so much!"
Baili Moqing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he subconsciously moved his wheelchair back.
Why is he here?
What on earth did Xizhu do? Why hasn't there been any news?
Baili Qingren, the King of Xiaoyang, is the ninth brother of the current emperor and was once a great general who fought on the battlefield.
However, in a later battle against the Northern Di, Baili Qingren was severely injured and lost all his power. Since then, he withdrew from the front lines and became an idle prince in Kyoto.
"Hey, Xiaojiu is here too?" Baili Qingren asked, a little puzzled when he saw Baili Moyan. "Isn't your honor guard still in Yuancheng? How come they got here before me?"
Baili Moyan smiled faintly and explained, "Nephew, I missed my seventh brother so much that I came here quietly. Ninth Uncle, you must not tell Father about this!"
"Hahaha, fine, fine, the Imperial Uncle will definitely not tell! However, since I've kept it a secret for you, shouldn't you also show some respect to the Imperial Uncle and find him some of the best local food?"
Baili Moyan quickly said, "Of course!"
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Baili Qingren looked around the yard.
"Why are there so many people here? What happened?"
When his eyes fell on the blood-soaked ground, his originally smiling face instantly revealed a murderous look, "Someone dared to cause trouble in Biluoyuan?"
At this time, the eleventh princess Baili Rushu noticed Zhu Zifeng, whose clothes were disheveled and hair was messy.
She deliberately covered her face so that people couldn't see what she looked like, but Princess Eleven still felt that the person looked familiar.
"You," she pointed at Zhu Zifeng and shouted, "Stand up!"
Lu Qiao stood in front of Zhu Zifeng, her face full of panic and anxiety.
The young lady and the Eleventh Princess have never gotten along. If the Eleventh Princess sees her like this, the young lady's reputation will be ruined for life!
Zhu Zifeng clenched his fists, as if a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on his head, and he didn't dare to lift them.
She couldn't let Princess Eleven see her current appearance!
No!
