Bei Yutang drank the last medicine. Mo Hua hurried in.
“Miss, Miss, your Prince Regent defeated the Huns, killed their commander, and captured ten cities. The Huns have sent a letter of surrender, and your Prince Regent will return to the capital in the near future.” Mo Hua said excitedly.
Bei Yutang’s lips raised slightly, “Yeah.”
Seeing how calm the Young Lady was, Mo Hua couldn’t help but ask: “Miss, why aren’t you excited?”
“I’m so excited!”
Mo Hua:…
Here we go again! She couldn’t tell at all.
But it didn’t matter, as long as everyone else was as excited as she was.
The entire Daduan Dynasty was excited for Jun Wushang’s triumphant return. Countless literati chanted many poems praising Jun Wushang’s heroic invincibility. Even the children in the streets sang nursery rhymes praising Jun Wushang.
For a time, Jun Wushang’s reputation reached its peak. His wedding to the most beautiful woman of the Daduan Dynasty also became the focus of attention of the people in the entire capital city.

In the pitch-black night, Bei Yutang suddenly sat up in shock and unconsciously covered her chest with her hands.
Just then, she felt a stinging pain in her heart, which woke her up from her dream.
After Bei Yutang woke up, she no longer felt sleepy.
She walked out of bed and saw the red wedding dress on the hanger. Her cold eyes softened.
In three days, she could see him.
Three days had never felt so long to her.
Early the next morning, Xin Lian walked into the study, looked at Bei Yutang behind the desk, put away the strange look in her eyes, and walked up to her, “Miss, the Prince Regent said that he would postpone his return for a few days, as there are still things to deal with at the border.”
Bei Yutang looked at her in surprise.
Xin Lian handed her a letter, “This is the letter from the Prince Regent.”
Bei Yutang took the letter from her, but this time she did not open it immediately like before. Maybe it was her imagination, but the letter suddenly became extremely heavy in her hand. She didn’t dare to open it for a long time.
Xin Lian’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that she hadn’t moved yet.
Did the Young Lady find out?
After a long time, Bei Yutang opened the letter. When she saw the familiar handwriting, her lips did not smile like before.
She put the letter on the table and looked at Xin Lian with a stern look, “What happened to him?”
Xin Lian was startled. There was a flash of uneasiness in his eyes, “The Prince Regent just can’t come back for the time being.”
“What happened to him?” Bei Yutang’s voice suddenly rose.
Under her intimidating gaze, Xin Lian couldn’t bear it anymore. Her eyes turned red, “Your Majesty– He is dying.”
Bei Yutang’s heart ached, “Where is he?”
Her voice was uncontrollably trembling slightly.
“Chishui City.”
As soon as Xin Lian finished speaking, Bei Yutang rushed out of the study. The servants on the road saw a figure passing by in a hurry. Everyone looked at the familiar figure in surprise, wondering why the Young Lady was in such a hurry.
Soon, they all knew it!
A thousand-mile horse galloped past on the official road, rolling up yellow smoke all over the sky.
She stayed awake all day and night. When she hurriedly arrived, the whole sky of Chishui City was covered with white silk. There was no laughter in the streets. It was as quiet as entering a dead city.
There were people standing outside the City Lord’s mansion. All the people spontaneously wore plain white clothes. There were no smiles on their faces, only sadness.
Bei Yutang got off the horse. Her feet went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
She walked into the mansion step by step, and her feet seemed to be filled with a thousand pounds, extremely heavy.
Every step she took seemed to use up all her strength.
