Shen Nanxing cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Fu Jiuli supported her and said, "Let's look forward. Maybe there are still survivors."
Shen Nanxing looked dazed as she let Fu Jiuli help her onto the carriage. She didn't move or speak, just leaned quietly against the wall of the carriage.
Fu Jiuli ordered the female doctor in the Phoenix Guard to take personal care of her, and ordered some of the Phoenix Guard to stay behind to carefully collect the body of the man in black, and then continued to move forward quickly with the remaining Phoenix Guard.
They galloped all the way for about another hour before they met the black-armored guards who had already started their return journey.
All the centurions of Mingwei's cavalry were killed in battle.
There were only a few hundred Black Armor Guards left at this moment, and they were immediately surrounded by the pursuing Phoenix Guards.
The deputy general stood at the front, sighed deeply, and nodded to Fu Jiuli on horseback. "The Black Armor Guards have been defeated. You can kill them or chop them up as the Nine Thousand Year Old Man will do."
Fu Jiuli was silent for a moment, then said, "You are just following orders, so go now."
As soon as Fu Jiuli raised his hand, the Phoenix Guards immediately moved aside, clearing a path.
After being stunned for a moment, the deputy general lowered his head and walked away dejectedly with the remaining black-armored guards.
Fu Jiuli looked at the departing black-armored guards and suddenly asked, "Where's Leng Feng? Where is Leng Yue's body?"
Leng Ye lowered his eyes: "Master, Leng Yue has been buried, and Leng Feng... committed suicide."
"Let's bury them both together. If it weren't for this incident, we would have arranged a wedding for them."
"Yes."
......
It took half a month to complete the burial of the fallen secret guards Fengwei and the Mingwei Iron Cavalry's hundred-man team.
Fu Jiuli and his wife, as well as Shen Ming, bowed three times respectfully in front of the huge tombstone of a thousand people.
Then, Shen Ming looked at Fu Jiuli: "What are your plans next?"
Fu Jiuli's eyes were deep: "...Take back what belongs to me."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Leng Ye came running over to report: "Master, someone has come from the palace and said they want to take the Second Prince back to the palace."
Fu Jiuli nodded, raised his hand and touched his wife's head, his eyes tender and affectionate: "Madam, wait for me."
Then he strode away.
Xining Imperial Palace.
In a pavilion standing at the highest point of the imperial palace, when Fu Jiuli was led there by the eunuch, he saw an old man with a hunched figure and gray hair standing with his back to him.
"Your Majesty, the second prince is here." The eunuch leaned over to report and immediately withdrew on his own initiative.
Hearing the voice, the old man turned around, and his eyes immediately became moist when he saw the person coming: "You...you are Li'er, right?"
Fu Jiuli said in a cold voice: "I am Fu Jiuli."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's been more than ten years now, and you've grown up so much. You look like your mother..."
"It's all father's fault. I haven't found you for all these years, and you've suffered a lot..." Emperor Xining slowly approached him and raised his hand to touch his face.
But because of the height difference, he couldn't touch it.
But Fu Jiuli showed no intention of leaning over to cooperate with him, so Emperor Xining could only put his hand on Fu Jiuli's shoulder.
"I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back. Sit down!"
The two sat down and talked.
Emperor Xining sighed deeply: "Li'er, I know that you are still blaming me because of your mother's affairs, but that is all because..."
"Why?" Fu Jiuli looked coldly at the old man whom he should call father.
Emperor Xining was silent for a long while before he slowly spoke: "Your mother stole the royal secrets back then, and I haven't done anything to her yet. She actually committed suicide out of fear of punishment... When she set the fire, I thought you were also..."
"Fortunately, a loyal servant took you away. Over the years, I have sent people to search for you everywhere, but later I learned that you had drifted to North Vietnam, and there has been no news since then..."
"North Vietnam was suffering from a drought at that time, and I thought you were gone..."
Emperor Xining stared at his son who had been missing for more than ten years without blinking. The little boy back then has grown up now.
He looked relieved: "What happened in the past is over, now that you are back, I plan to..."
Fu Jiuli's eyes were icy as she interrupted him, "Even today, do you still think it was my mother who stole the royal secrets? Do you still think my mother committed suicide out of fear of punishment?"
Emperor Xining frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
Fu Jiuli sneered, "Before my mother married you, she was the empress of Southern Xinjiang. If she wanted to steal secrets, why would she do it herself? Why would she marry you?"
Emperor Xining was stunned, his old eyes filled with disbelief: "What did you say? Your mother is... the Queen of Southern Xinjiang? She is obviously an ordinary woman..."
"If you don't believe me, go ahead and check it out," Fu Jiuli said coldly. "Once you've verified this, you'll know that this is just a false accusation, and committing suicide out of fear of punishment is even more ridiculous!"
"My mother has waited all these years for you to avenge her, so I will avenge her from now on!"
After saying these two sentences, Fu Jiuli stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Emperor Xining called out to him.
"I will investigate your mother's affairs. Now, let me tell you about your affairs."
Fu Jiuli sat down again: "You go ahead."
Emperor Xining closed his eyes, suppressing the turmoil in his heart caused by the mention of his first wife, and said, "You are the son of the late queen. I have not appointed another queen in these years, so you are my only legitimate son."
"Now that you've returned, I intend to pass the throne to you. However, I've been weak and inattentive to state affairs these past few years, so they're basically handled by your Third Imperial Uncle. Over the years, your Third Imperial Uncle has worked hard and made great contributions, and his foundation in the court is very deep..."
"So, I want you to make your third uncle's legitimate daughter your queen, and hold the succession ceremony and the queen coronation ceremony together. This way, with the help of your third uncle, you will be able to gain a firm foothold even though you have just returned..."
Fu Jiuli: "I already have a wife, it's impossible for me to marry another woman."
"I know you're married, but you'll be the emperor in the future, so having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal. You can make your original wife a noble concubine, a position second only to the empress..."
Fu Jiuli stood up and said, "My wife, I will not let her be inferior to anyone else."
Emperor Xining frowned. "Then let your Third Uncle's daughter be the Imperial Concubine? I'm afraid your Third Uncle won't agree... Well, I'll help you test his opinion first."
Fu Jiuli's expression was extremely cold. "Maybe I didn't express myself clearly just now. What I meant was that I will only have one woman in this life, and that is my wife, Shen Nanxing."
