"Uncle Emperor, of course I can see you. But I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Can you forgive me?" Yu Yuanzheng asked a little embarrassedly.

It depends on how the emperor responds to this matter, in public.

In fact, the crime of deceiving the emperor also depends on the circumstances. If the emperor wants to make a fuss about it, it is a serious crime; if he doesn't make a fuss about it, nothing will happen.

"That depends on what you are deceiving me."

"I only deceived this face, nothing else."

"Then I won't look at it today. Three days later, I will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the triumphant return of the soldiers. You can then follow your adoptive father into the palace. It won't be too late for me to look at it then." The emperor thought for a moment and said.

He thought of a possibility. What if Dr. Zeng's face was disfigured? If his scars were exposed in public, how would he face people in the future?

Isn’t it said that doctors don’t treat themselves?

Even if he has some skills, he is not omnipotent. It is too serious and it is not easy to cure.

The eldest prince's face remains the same as before, and the scar is still there, which shows that he may not be able to be cured.

Xiangling's face was only burned, not deeply, only on the surface.

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

After the emperor calmed down, he looked at the spirited soldiers.

"Today, the army returns victorious. I have personally left the city walls to welcome your loyal and brave troops. The sight of the dust and wind fills my heart with joy, the sight of the banners and flags fills my spirit with excitement. You, the soldiers, have fought through hundreds of battles, slain generals and captured flags, and vanquished bandits and barbarians with outstanding achievements. I am deeply gratified.

In the past, warriors marched out to battle, leaving with the tragic grandeur of never returning. Today, you return with the glory of a triumphant hero, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring. You sacrifice your flesh and blood to secure our borders and protect the well-being of our people. You are truly the pillars of our nation and the pride of our people.

I will host a banquet in the palace in three days and bestow upon you further honors, increasing your rank and salary to honor your bravery and to inspire you for the future. I hope my officers and men will not forget their original aspirations, bear their mission firmly in mind, continue to forge ahead, defend our country, and achieve new feats.

I and the people celebrate this occasion together. May our Great Wei prosper forever, with peace and tranquility reigning."

"Thank you, our emperor. Long live the emperor. Long, long live the emperor." The soldiers were so excited that their blood boiled and they shouted in unison.

This caused the people watching nearby to kneel down and shout.

"Follow me into the city. The people are waiting to see your heroic displays."

The emperor also rode a horse today, leading his soldiers into the city.

The north city gate is wide open.

The soldiers marched into the city in neat rows.

There was a soldier standing at intervals on both sides of the road, and behind them were people lining the streets to welcome them.

As soon as I saw the soldiers coming in.

Various cheers were heard everywhere.

"Welcome back heroes!"

"The general is mighty!"

"Defend your country, be a hero!"

......

There was also the deafening sound of gongs and drums.

It’s not lively.

This was probably the most lively welcome for a triumphant general in a hundred years.

Hua Xiangling rarely saw such a lively scene. She pulled Yu Yuanzheng out of the carriage and sat him in front of the door, waving to the people on both sides.

She is the only woman in the entire army.

Many people saw a girl in the middle of the team, but she didn't attract much attention.

Instead, Yu Yuanzheng, wearing a mask, attracted the attention of the people.

The people in the capital were well-informed. They all knew that the army that defeated the enemy this time was tricked by the Canglan Kingdom and was infected with smallpox. It was only with the help of the genius doctor Zeng that the epidemic was brought under control.

Some people who recognized Yu Yuanzheng started shouting.

"Miraculous Doctor Zeng!"

"Miraculous Doctor Zeng!"

The team keeps moving forward.

The emperor also smiled as he looked at the happy and enthusiastic people.

I feel deeply moved.

The Great Wei was saved.

The people can now live and work in peace and contentment.

The heart that he had been worried about for more than a year finally settled down.

Prince Rong and Prince Jing were on both sides.

"Brother Prince Jing, what do you think is the most appropriate reward for Divine Doctor Zeng?"

"This matter requires the Emperor's decision, and I cannot offer any opinion. Perhaps Brother Rong's suggestion would be more appropriate."

Prince Jing was very worried that the emperor would be so angry that he would die as soon as he saw his adopted daughter's face.

It’s better not to say anything now and pass the ball to Prince Rong.

"I think it wouldn't be too much to reward her with the title of Marquis of Zhenguo." Prince Rong's suggestion was simply an exorbitant request.

Marquis of Zhenguo!

That would be a huge achievement.

The title of Marquis of Zhenguo is a noble title that can be passed down for a hundred years and passed down through three generations.

Prince Jing almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

Brother Prince Rong is really humorous. He knows that she is his daughter-in-law, a woman, so how can he make her a marquis?

He must have done it on purpose.

It would be more appropriate to confer the title of Princess Zhenguo on her.

"Royal brother, it's not too late to say anything after you see her true face." Prince Jing was afraid that the emperor would glare at him, so he immediately tried to smooth things over.

The emperor glanced at both of them, said nothing, and continued on his way, enjoying this once-in-a-century excitement.

Countless heads popped out of the windows of teahouses and restaurants on both sides to look at the passing soldiers, and various screams and shouts were also heard.

Some girls were even bolder and threw things at the soldiers.

She threw away the cakes on the table, the sachet around her waist, the handkerchief in her hand, and even the valuable jewelry.

On the second floor of a teahouse, the people in two rooms were waiting most anxiously.

One of them is of course the Yu brothers and sisters.

Their eldest brother-in-law was the commander-in-chief. Not only did he repel the enemy, but he also captured several cities of the enemy country. They were proud to have such a brother-in-law.

Yu Qingsheng was envied by many of his classmates in the Imperial College.

Many people wanted to befriend him and treat him to meals and drinks, but he always prioritized his studies and turned them down later.

Today, in order to welcome the triumphant soldiers, the chief academician of the Imperial College wrote a notice of leave with a stroke of his pen.

All the students were extremely happy and were extremely grateful to the chief academician.

Similarly, Yu Yueyin was also very popular among the young ladies in Beijing because she had such a brother-in-law.

She would be invited to various gatherings, and since she was also the eighth princess's study partner, she was an object of envy.

They knew their sister had gone to the border, but they didn't know why.

I thought I would definitely come back with my brother-in-law today.

The two of them stuck their heads out of the window and looked into the distance, waiting for the team to pass by their building so that they could wave to their brother-in-law.

And there were a few people next door who also stuck their heads out of the window and looked into the distance.

Then both sides saw each other.

They were none other than Prince Jing's siblings, Zhao Jinyu's siblings, and of course, the other one was Liu Yunshu who came to Beijing with them.

"Greetings to Prince Jing and the Princess." Yu Qingsheng bowed.

"Mr. Yu, the great talent." Cao Jinyu greeted them with a smile when he saw that it was the brother and sister next door.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Yu Qingsheng's cheeks flushed when he was called "Yu the Great Talent" and he quickly waved his hands humbly.

Last year, Yu Qingsheng won the first place in the provincial examination and was awarded the title of Jieyuan.

From then on, he became famous in Beijing and was respected by everyone as "Yu the Great Talent", and some gossipers even jokingly called him "Yu Jieyuan Gong".

Whenever this matter was mentioned, he always humbly declined, but the pride and joy in his heart could not be concealed.

At the same time, he has always been grateful for the kindness of his eldest sister. It was because of the opportunities that his eldest sister fought for their second wife that he was able to achieve what he has today.

Today, Yu Qingsheng is eighteen years old. He has a tall figure, a handsome face, and a natural scholarly temperament.

He was dressed in a plain blue robe and wore a soft jade pendant around his waist, which added a touch of elegance to his demeanor.

Just when their necks were about to ache, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and then the triumphant team slowly approached.

The cheers also grew louder.

Liu Yunshu opened her eyes wide. She didn't look at those mighty soldiers. She was only looking for the person she wanted to find.

When the carriage carrying Yu Yuanzheng and Hua Xiangling came over, Liu Yunshu saw from afar that the man was still wearing a mask.

It looks so familiar, it must be him.

"Dr. Zeng, Dr. Zeng." Liu Yunshu shouted, without any woman's modesty. She leaned most of her body out and was about to fall out. Cao Jinyu had to pull her up.

"Just stand still." Cao Jinyu scolded unhappily.

But Liu Yunshu ignored him and leaned forward again to attract Yu Yuanzheng's attention.
