Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment—
A figure rushed in from outside. As the person was running too quickly, he almost fell head first onto the ground.
Without waiting for the master to ask, he climbed up in a panic, panting. “Old General, my Lady, His Majesty… His Majesty has returned.”
These words were like a heavenly surprise, shocking the master, stunning him to his spot.
After being silent for some time, his old voice spoke.
“Did His Majesty and the empress return together, or…”
“Reporting to the general, His Majesty and the empress came back together with the princess and the prince. They have sent news back in advance. Now, they should already be at the city gates…”
The old general seemed a little odd. He turned his head somewhat stiffly to look at Qin Yi. “His Majesty has returned? He has even brought Qing’er and the prince back? Yi’er, is it because of my old age that there is some problem with my ears and that I am hearing this wrongly?”
He wanted to believe these words, but he was also afraid that everything was all but real. Even his expression was nervous and cautious when he asked that.
Qin Yi was very happy, but when she saw how careful the old general was, she could not help but feel a tinge of sadness in her heart. “Father, it is true. His Majesty and the empress have returned. They have found the prince. Everyone has returned.”
It was as if the old general only dared to believe everything he had heard after hearing Qin Yi’s words. Finally, a smile appeared on his old face, and there was a happiness that could not be described.
“Quick, bring the soldiers of my Nalan family to the city gates to welcome His Majesty and the empress’ return. Hahaha!”
He laughed happily and marched out.
Qin Yi looked at the old general’s departing figure and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
‘It has already been so long…
‘Ever since they found out that the prince was still alive, Father has not been eating or sleeping well. It has been a long time since there was such great news that contributed to his happiness.
‘Good thing…
‘His Majesty and the empress have brought back the prince and princess, and their family could finally be reunited.
‘How great…’
Qin Yi secretly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes as she followed after the old general and left the residence.
The sky in Liu Yun Kingdom was clear and bright, just like her current feelings…

In the imperial study.
Nalan Zhangqian received the report from his guards and immediately stood up, throwing the memorial to the ground fiercely as he gritted his teeth. “Did you just say that Feng Tianyu has returned together with my sister?”
“Yes, Lord General.”
The guard was respectful.
“Hahaha!” Nalan Zhangqian laughed out loud like a madman.
His laughter was tinged with anger.
“Feng Tianyu, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d emperor has finally returned! It has already been a year and a half. n.o.body knows of the days I had to endure during this time! Every day I had to burn the midnight oil to read those memorials and have not been able to spend time with my wife for a long time! Even my Dai’er! I have not hugged her for a long time! All this is because of Feng Tianyu, it is he who made my liver ache! Made me unable to carry out my duties as a husband and as a father! I will definitely not let him off so easily this time!”
The crowd heard Nalan Zhangqian scolding, and the most they did was allow their lips to twitch as they remained calm.
After all, in Liu Yun Kingdom, the only one who would dare to open his mouth and scold the emperor was Nalan Zhangqian alone.
There was no other way. This matter was indeed because His Majesty was unkind and had left without a sound, throwing the whole of Liu Yun Kingdom into Nalan Zhangqian’s hands with a single royal decree.
Just look at Nalan Zhangqian. Eighteen months ago, he was still the agreeable, handsome, easy-going General Nalan.
Eighteen months later, his face had turned pale and his lips were dark. Both of his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair had become so dishevelled.
