Chapter 89: I Entrust My Life to Him from Now On
. At a glance, he saw that the evidence was complete.Zhao Kang slammed his fist on the table: "Such a Liu Youcai! He's so bold! To actually hire assassins to kill someone!""Sir."Zhao Fu貴 hurried forwa..."Your Majesty, in the beginning..."
Zi Yi slowly began to speak.
At the beginning, Ziyi and Qingyi covered Li Yuyao's retreat. They thought they were certain to die, but they still wanted to fight as hard as possible to give Li Yuyao more time.
Because they had gone bloodthirsty, the bandits were so scared that they didn't dare to approach. In the end, they were killed through a bloody path by them.
After breaking out, the two immediately set out to find Li Yuyu.
However, Li Yuyao thought all the guards had died in battle. Even if someone was looking for her, they could only be bandits or rebels.
Therefore, she tried her best to conceal her whereabouts.
Even with a skilled tracker like Ziyi, it took him half a month to find clues through investigation, inquiries, and exploration. He then followed the trail of the refugees all the way to Jianghe County!
After hearing the two people finish speaking, Li Yunyao also had a moment of emotion.
"Your Majesty, look at this!"
Ziyi unfastened the package from her back, slowly opening it to reveal several items inside.
And seeing these things, Li Yuyao was also greatly surprised!
"This...it's still here!"
Li Yuxi reached out and touched the jade seal. It was the size of a fist, milky white all over, with a dragon head carved at the top and the four characters "Emperor's Treasure" engraved at the bottom. She took a deep breath.
Besides the "Imperial Seal", the "Mandate of Heaven Seal" and "Virtue and Mandate Seal" are also complete!
These three imperial seals are the three greatest treasures of the Great Dry Emperor.
Among them, the Imperial Decree's Treasure was used to reward and punish officials, and confer titles.
The Treasures of Destiny are used to bestow titles.
And the Emperor's Seal, being the most commonly used, was employed for issuing edicts, bestowing titles upon empresses, and even for occasions such as the emperor's enthronement, succession, and general amnesty. It could be used for all these purposes by stamping with this Emperor's Seal.
The package also contains the emperor's calligraphy brushes, cinnabar, a precious inkstone, and three blank imperial edicts!
"You've worked hard!"
Li Yuxiang looked gratefully at the two of them.
She never expected to see these again.
These were all left to her by her father emperor. Besides proving she was the most legitimate Emperor of Dayan, they were also a memento from her father.
"Your Majesty, you are the rightful ruler of the Great Qin Dynasty. No matter what outsiders think, Qing Yi and I only recognize you as our Emperor!"
Li Yuxiang snatched it up and caressed the "Imperial Treasure." She stared straight ahead, her eyes gleaming.
"Without you, the Jade Seal wouldn't be recovered; and if you couldn't find me, I couldn't have retrieved it again."
"Now we are all here, the Jade Seal is here, and even Yang Lin sent by Heaven… All of this is Heaven's will! I have made up my mind, to take back everything that belongs to me!!"
Upon hearing His Majesty's bold and powerful words, both Ziyi and Qingyi were moved.
However, when they heard the name Yang Lin, both of them had strange looks in their eyes.
The purple-clad woman spoke, "Your Majesty, this Yang Lin…"
He... he is my husband.
Li Yuxiang lightly bit her red lips, and said with a blushing face.
Both Ziyi and Qingyi were greatly surprised.
Before, they had guessed it was one thing, but now hearing His Majesty say it himself, both girls opened their mouths in surprise.
Because to them, it was simply impossible!
Even before she ascended the throne and became Empress, Princess always possessed an exceptionally proud spirit.
All the young masters and sons of princes, generals, and officials in the capital city are not good enough for her!
Can it be that she is now married to a farmer from the countryside
Her Majesty was their liege, but they also cherished Li Yuyao as a precious treasure. Now that Her Majesty had been defiled and humiliated like this, it made them feel as if their own fertile fields had been trampled by pigs!
Zi Yi trembled with both hands, forcibly suppressing her anger as she asked, "Your Majesty, was Yang Lin coercing you If you don't want to, we can go kill him now!"
"No!"
Li Yuheng hurriedly shook her head.
He... he did not coerce me.
Purple and green were even more surprised.
No coercion
That's even worse!
"Back when I was following the refugees, after arriving in Jianghe County, those corrupt officials and bureaucrats arrested me and sent me to the countryside to be chosen as a wife by someone!!"
Recalling the humiliation of the past, Li Yunyao clenched her fists tightly.
"Fortunately, I concealed my appearance at first and no one saw my true face until I met him..."
Remembering that day, when Yang Lin stood before them and said, “I want it all,” the anger on her face unwittingly gave way to a hint of a smile.
"Of the nine commoners I was with that day, he kept all of them! And at the time, both I and they were still struggling over the 1,400 copper coins we needed from the petty official. Back then, I thought he was just a lustful scoundrel, but I never expected that in just two days, he would have earned the 1,400 copper coins!"
From then on, everything became even more incredible.
He invented tofu, sold magical potions, improved iron smelting, built kilns for burning bricks and cement, and even invented the crossbow. He also built houses and repaired roads for the people...
Among these, we also defeated two bandits. Even though the wealthy families in the county were furious with him, they were powerless to stop him.
"To this day, in just a single month's time, we have amassed over ten thousand taels of silver! Within Mountao Village, his prestige is unrivaled!"
Li Yuxiang became increasingly excited as she spoke.
And when Ziyi and Qingyi heard all this, they were both dumbfounded.
No wonder the village nestled in the mountains is so unique!
It's no wonder the Emperor would fall for him.
I never expected to find such a hidden gem of talent in the wilderness!
“At first, I even considered dying to protect the royal family’s honor! But the result…”
Li Yuyao chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Perhaps it's just my petty thoughts."
"The reason I chose to entrust him with this, is still because of his character!"
"Actually, I am still… still a virgin."
Li Yuyao said somewhat shyly.
Zi Yi and Qing Yi were once again surprised.
His beauty is such that not only men, but even women would be moved upon seeing him.
The noble and aloof aura emanating from Your Majesty would ignite a man's desire for conquest! It makes men want to possess her, to conquer her!
But he didn't dare to move the Emperor
Could it be that Yang Lin's side is not doing well
Ziyi and Qingyi couldn't help but start to daydream.
"Yang Lin is a truly extraordinary person. He would never take advantage of others' misfortunes. When he left all the other women and me behind, it was simply so that we wouldn't end up living in poverty."
"Let's call him a good person, he often uses his tricks to cheat the common people and make a profit."
"You could call him a cunning merchant, but the people truly lived better lives because of him. They saw hope and respected him from the bottom of their hearts."
He respects everyone, except me. He has never touched any other woman and encourages all the women to be sisters to each other. He treats those who are younger like his own sisters, caring for them deeply.
With this description, Li Yiyue's own mouth corners also unconsciously curved upwards.
In sum, this person is brilliant and talented, of noble character, and has shown great kindness to me.
Although my feelings for him are now overshadowed by the gratitude and utility he provides, I have decided to entrust my life to him from this point forward!It is now the middle of the month.The night was deep, a round moon hung high in the sky.Inside the Yang family home, everyone sat together, watching Xiao Jiu calculate.
