Chapter 291: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 34
After a few days, news came from outside that public opinion had changed slightly, and Yu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Royal study room.
When Xuanyuan Zan heard about the change in public opinion, his expression looked a little strange.
His intuition told him that someone was behind this.
He doesn't care who did it, anyway, he is quite satisfied with the current calls.
He is the emperor of Jingguo, so why are the people shouting "Long live the King of Qin"?
'The King of Qin is mighty, long live the Emperor' is the correct answer.
The Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace was also relieved when she heard about the change in public opinion.
The one hanging in the air is considered to be put into the stomach.
The royal court of the Western Regions.
The strong wind, carrying sand and gravel, was howling outside the window.
This palace, which once symbolized the authority of the Western Regions, now appears somewhat dilapidated due to the ravages of war.
The murals on the walls were mottled and peeling, and many of the bricks and stones on the ground were broken.
Xuanyuan Cheng sat on the main seat in the hall. He was wearing armor and had not yet recovered from the fatigue of the battle.
In his hand he held a secret letter from the capital.
When he saw the letter mentioning that the people were shouting "Long live the King of Qin", his face became serious, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was solemn.
What does my royal brother think about the voices coming from the people?
I'm afraid she's already afraid of him in her heart.
He held the secret letter and continued reading.
When he learned that public opinion had changed to 'Mighty Qin King, long live the Emperor', his expression softened again, his tense muscles gradually relaxed, and his brows relaxed.
He burned the secret letter in his hand and frowned in thought.
No one knows who is helping him behind the scenes to guide public opinion.
Suddenly, Yu Yao's face flashed through his mind, "Could it be her?"
She has always been smart, but Dongfeng doesn't have that kind of brains.
The staff employed by the Prince of Qin also followed him to fight in the Western Regions and were not in the capital.
Apart from her, Xuanyuan Cheng couldn't think of anyone else to blame.
Of course, it is also possible that the Queen Mother took action.
He wasn't sure.
At this time, Nan Feng hurriedly walked into the palace, clasped his fists and saluted, and said anxiously: "Master, although the aftermath is progressing smoothly, there are still some difficult problems that need to be solved urgently."
Xuanyuan Cheng stopped to think, looked at Nanfeng, and said calmly: "Tell me in detail."
Nan Feng responded respectfully: "There is a shortage of medicines to treat the wounded, and some people have not yet been properly housed."
Xuanyuan Cheng frowned slightly, stroking his chin and thinking. After a moment, he said, "Immediately send people to the surrounding cities to collect medicinal materials. As for the people's housing, allocate tents from the army for emergency use. We must ensure that the basic living needs of the people are met."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xifeng walked in quickly, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly: "Master, Ha Wuer has been captured and beheaded on the spot."
Xuanyuan Cheng heard this and raised the corner of his mouth, "Very good, this is done beautifully."
He pondered for a moment, and then instructed the two: "Handle the affairs of the Western Regions as soon as possible. I will select suitable generals to garrison the Western Regions, and the rest of you will follow me back to the court."
"Yes, master."
South Wind and West Wind bowed their heads respectfully.
Half a month later, the Qin army returned to the capital.
Xuanyuan Cheng was riding on a tall horse, handsome and heroic, with eyes as deep as stars. The wind blew up his cloak, adding a bit of elegance and majesty.
He suddenly remembered the contents of the secret letter, so he summoned Nanfeng and whispered a few words in his ear.
Nanfeng nodded slightly and quickly retreated.
Then, the entire Qin army burst into deafening cheers.
"The King of Qin is mighty, long live the Emperor!"
"The King of Qin is mighty, long live the Emperor!"
"The King of Qin is mighty, long live the Emperor!"
……
The military flags fluttered in the wind and the shouts shook the sky, and they continued like this all the way from the Western Regions to the capital.
When the people passing by heard it, they also shouted.
At the same time, you also know that Jingguo actually has an emperor?
Xuanyuan City’s prestige is too high, and the people of the entire Jing Kingdom basically only know the King of Qin, not the Emperor.
When they heard the Qin army shouting "Long live the emperor", they also followed suit.
The news was quickly delivered to the imperial palace in the capital.
In the imperial study room.
Xuanyuan Zan, who was handling memorials, relaxed and looked happy after hearing the news.
"Haha...that's right, I am the emperor of Jingguo." How can it be that the people only know the King of Qin but not the Emperor?
Xuanyuan Zan put down the red brush in his hand, stood up, and paced back and forth in the imperial study.
Li An, the chief eunuch who had been serving beside him, carefully observed Xuanyuan Zan's expression and said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, the great victory of the King of Qin is a blessing for our dynasty. In my opinion, the King of Qin's loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all."
Xuanyuan Zan stopped, looked at Li An, and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Li An bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, think about it, the King of Qin fought bravely on the battlefield, never caring about his own safety, all for the sake of protecting this great land for Your Majesty, so that you can sit firmly on the throne. Everything he did was out of loyalty to Your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Zan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking, and said after a moment: "Well, what you said does make some sense."
Li An put on a more flattering smile and continued, "Your Majesty, the loyalty of the King of Qin is known to all. His return from this victorious battle will surely make our dynasty more prosperous. This is all thanks to your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Zan sat back on the dragon chair, rubbing his hands on the armrests: "Brother Cheng is loyal, but I'm afraid the people around him are unwilling to accept it."
When Li An heard Xuanyuan Zan's words, his expression tensed up, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin is wise and powerful, and he will definitely be able to control the people around him and prevent those with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation. Moreover, Your Majesty is wise and insightful, and no disturbance can escape your insight."
Xuanyuan Zan looked deep in his eyes. He reached out and took the memorial from the imperial desk to review it. "I hope so too. Brother Cheng and I have a deep brotherly relationship. I don't want to create any rifts because of someone else's mischief."
Li An quickly responded, "Your Majesty is kind and the King of Qin will surely understand your painstaking efforts. Those who attempt to sow discord will be punished by heaven."
Xuanyuan Zan sighed slightly: "I hope that Brother Cheng can always understand my intentions and not be deceived by villains."
Li An bowed his body, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin's loyalty to you is beyond doubt, and those villains will never succeed."
Xuanyuan Zan said nothing more. He placed the red pen in his hand on the memorial and began to review it carefully.
Qin Palace, Mingxi Courtyard.
Yu Yao also laughed when she heard the news.
It seems that Xuanyuan City has received the news from the capital.
The two of them cooperated well with each other.
If Xuanyuan Zan is still afraid of Xuanyuan City, then this person is not worthy of being the emperor.
A few days later, the Qin army arrived in the capital.
The army was stationed outside the city, with tents connected in a row and military flags flying.
Xuanyuan Cheng rode into the city on horseback with several close generals.
The people had been waiting on both sides of the street for a long time.
When they saw Xuanyuan City, cheers resounded through the sky.
"King Qin! King Qin!"
The people shouted excitedly, their faces filled with admiration and joy.
Children jumped excitedly among the crowd, trying to get a better look.
Xuanyuan Cheng rode on his horse, smiling and waving to the people.
He was dressed in silver armor, had an extremely handsome face, an upright posture, and a gentle gaze.
Wherever he went, flower petals fell, as if paving a road of glory for him.
Someone in the crowd was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted: "The triumphant return of the King of Qin is a blessing for our capital!"
Xuanyuan City listened to the cheers of the people and felt deeply moved.
For him, this support is a responsibility and a mission.
Yu Yao was sitting in the restaurant on the second floor of Huicui Building, holding her belly.
Xiangling and Xiangju were standing behind her.
She stood up and walked to the window, which was open.
She looked at the street outside, her eyes fell on Xuanyuan Cheng, her face full of pride and joy, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her expression happy.
Xiangling also walked to the window, smiling, "Master, the prince's triumphant return is such a great joy. Seeing the prince so majestic, we should be happy too. When the prince returns, this mansion will be so lively."
Xiangju also hurried over, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "Yes, Master. The prince is so heroic and extraordinary, and you are pregnant with the little master, you will definitely be more important in the prince's heart in the future."
Yu Yao raised the corner of her mouth, "You two are the sweetest."
Although he was talking to Xiangling and Xiangju, his eyes never left Xuanyuan Cheng.
Xuanyuan Cheng seemed to sense something. He looked up in the direction of Huicui Building and saw Yu Yao by the window.
He was slightly startled, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his lips became even more intense.
But then he thought that she was pregnant with twins, and his brows furrowed again.
If he calculated correctly, Yao'er has been pregnant for more than seven months, right?
Why is she running out with such a big belly? And in such a crowded place, what if she gets hurt accidentally?
Yu Yao was very happy to see Xuanyuan Cheng at first, but then he looked at her with a slightly reproachful look.
She was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her belly, which was bulging and frighteningly large.
Then I realized why.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head gently at Xuanyuan Cheng, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
Xuanyuan Cheng sighed helplessly, thinking that he would have to talk to her properly when he returned home.
She's running around with such a big belly. What if she hurts herself and the baby?
The team quickly passed the Huicui Building and headed straight towards the imperial palace.
Yu Yao came out today just to watch the fun. Seeing Xuanyuan Cheng left, she did not stay in Huicui Building for long and quickly returned to the palace with Xiangling and Xiangju.
