Expectations after Chapter 303
What happened next?
Shi Nuanyu woke up two days later. Due to her arm injury and the continuous beating of the war drum, her hands were temporarily unable to move.
Judging from Fusheng's words, she needs to rest for half a month, and during this time, she must have someone by her side to take care of her.
Arao removed the gauze and helped her change the dressing.
"Later, General Hua and Zhenbao went to the enemy camp. It is said that when they arrived, the camp was full of corpses. The three young masters were still fighting. Their bodies were soaked in blood and their original appearances were no longer visible."
It's impossible to tell what it originally looked like.
Three against fifty thousand—she couldn't even imagine their courage.
How many people died in this battle, and how many families were forced to separate?
Shi Nuanyu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, "Where are they?"
After changing the medicine, A'Rao picked up a bowl of porridge and fed her.
"Young Master Tao's injuries have relapsed and he is currently recuperating. The other three young masters will begin handling the aftermath of the battlefield after a night's rest. The number of dead and wounded has exceeded half and has not yet been tallied. Treasure is helping with that."
Hearing this, even the most delicious porridge becomes hard to swallow.
Countless lives were lost; their victory was achieved with the lives of their soldiers.
Shi Nuanyu held her breath and finished the porridge. "Inform the prefect that the pension should be doubled, the families of the martyrs should be comforted, and a plaque should be awarded to them. We cannot let them die on the battlefield and have their families forgotten."
This was the only thing she could do.
"The slaves obey."
Ara put down her chopsticks, deeply moved.
She firmly believed that as long as the Crown Princess was alive, Nan Yue would be safe.
After the great war, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. After the battlefield was cleaned up, disinfection began. The plague that followed the battle was the most terrible thing.
After staying in Yuecheng for seven days, I received a letter from the National Preceptor of Nanyue.
Shi Nuanyu read the letter and understood its general meaning: Zhuang Wenrui had been captured, and he had occupied Dongchen, expecting the monarch to enter the city.
She was shocked. Qinghe had quietly taken over Dongchen without her knowledge. How did he manage to overcome all the obstacles in Dongchen's thirteen states?
After discussion, Tao Huiyan, being seriously injured and unable to exert himself, and Fusheng, concerned about the wounded soldiers, decided to stay and defend Yuecheng.
Shi Nuanyu, along with Ashi, Aling, Arao, and Zhenbao, headed towards Dongchen. As she embarked on the journey to Dongchen once again, she felt a pang of melancholy.
She has been through a lot and lost important people.
The scenery outside the carriage flashed by, and Shi Nuanyu looked out the window, her heart stirred.
"Treasure, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Zhenbao remained silent, bowing her head and intertwining her fingers. She no longer blurted out, as before, that she would stay by the princess's side and accompany her forever.
"Treasure longs to study, and wants to take Fule to fight evil and see the most beautiful scenery in the world."
She buried her head even lower in guilt, not daring to look at the princess's expression.
“That’s right,” Shi Nuanyu joked with a smile, “When you’re punishing evil and enjoying beautiful scenery, you should also bring my share.”
Treasure has grown up and become more mature.
They all knew why, but no one wanted to say that word anymore.
"Arao, what do you want to do in the future?"
A'Rao smiled somewhat shyly, "This servant wants to open a martial arts school to teach women martial arts."
"Why don't you ask me?" Wei Wei, who hadn't yet tried riding his horse, leaned out of the carriage window. "I want to make the Martial Alliance great and become the number one martial arts alliance leader in the world."
His goal wasn't just Nan Yue; of course, it would be even better if he could also secure some nights to serve the emperor.
Shi Nuanyu listened with great delight, leaning against the car window.
"Ah Ling, what do you want to do?"
Hua Lingyan blinked and slowly uttered a few words.
"To be the head of the guards."
Otherwise, some people might succeed in their plans, become the leader of the Feathered Dragon Guard, and ruthlessly control them.
Shi Nuanyu chuckled, "A-Ling is the head of the guards now, so what about you? What do you want to do?"
The tense atmosphere dissipated, and the soldiers accompanying him laughed and joked loudly. "This humble general wants to defend our country and become a great general."
"I want to go back to my village and farm."
"I want to go home and be with my wife."
"I want to become an official and become the Crown Princess's right-hand man."
"I want to become the best embroiderer in the capital."
"I...I want to start a business."
……
Each person shared their hopes for the future, dreaming of their most beautiful wishes.
Shi Nuanyu smiled as she looked at the soldiers. They were men and women, with dreams and lives. This was her greatest wish.
What is her dream?
Her dream is slowly coming true, but her regret is wanting to see that person again.
It took them half a month to reach the Eastern Capital. Everyone they encountered along the way was very polite to them, so they must have received orders.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial city. Shi Nuanyu got off the carriage with curiosity and looked at the imperial city that had lasted for hundreds of years. She thought that this place would become more prosperous in the future.
Several people behind her dismounted and stood behind her, all gazing at the city gate.
After years of ups and downs, I finally have a home.
When the woman with her soldiers appeared at the city gate, the people all turned their heads and wondered which family's young lady she was.
A large number of soldiers ran out of the city and stood in neat rows. They did not drive away the onlookers, but instead formed a human wall to set up a cordon.
The flag of Dongchen on the city wall was replaced by Nanyue. The officials in charge of hanging the flags carefully carried them to a high place, where they fluttered in the breeze.
The officials, led by Qinghe, marched out in a grand procession. All the officials, dressed in the official robes of Nanyue, bowed respectfully in unison.
"Your subjects pay their respects to the new emperor."
The resounding chants of worship echoed through the sky. Wei Weishi, Hua Lingyan, and the others exchanged glances and knelt down in overjoyment to offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations to the new emperor on taking the throne of Dongchen."
The surrounding people were astonished and knelt down to pay their respects.
"This humble subject pays respects to the new emperor."
This was their future new emperor. They secretly and curiously observed him. The new emperor was not wearing a magnificent dragon robe, but dressed in plain clothes with simple hair ornaments, completely different from the emperor they had imagined.
Shi Nuanyu stood still, accepting their worship with equanimity, her eyes filled with their beautiful aspirations for life.
There was a time when she tried to escape and distance herself from this era.
From confusion, fear, resentment, and empathy to acceptance and cherishing.
If you ask her if she's nervous...
Nervous.
She will be responsible for millions of people from now on, and everything from clothing and shelter to life and death will fall within her responsibilities.
Fortunately, she is not alone on her journey, and she is also lucky that when she gets lost again, someone will remind her, and when she faces setbacks, she will have a reliable support.
All of this stems from her family.
Shi Nuanyu spoke in a calm and powerful tone, and the strips of cloth wrapped around her arm did not diminish her dignity in the slightest.
"Flat body."
"Now that I have taken over Dongchen, I am determined to fulfill my duties and live up to the expectations of the people and the world." He then changed his tone and became sharp, "Anyone who dares to commit crimes, plot against the court, or harm the people will be killed without mercy."
The officials were shocked. They had thought the new emperor was a woman who would be easy to manipulate, but they did not expect her to be so ruthless.
"This humble official listens to the new emperor's teachings."
From now on, they will be cautious in their words and deeds in the court, and will not dare to do anything to deceive their superiors.
With a smile in his gentle eyes, Qinghe walked step by step toward the new emperor, stopping three steps away from her.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully request that the new Emperor enter the city."
He used to dream of sitting on the supreme throne, but now he realizes that someone is more suitable than him.
With her around, the world will not be in chaos.
