Chapter 324 No Fate in This Life
At the same time, Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao walked out of the spiritual jade.
"That's great, Brother Zhao, your charm has finally been lifted!" Wang Xinyao's eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were full of joy.
"Xinyao, thanks to you." Zhao Haoxuan was full of gratitude. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to hug Wang Xinyao in his arms.
However, before his hand touched the corner of Wang Xinyao's clothes, Wang Xinyao seemed to sense something and dodged sideways lightly.
Her movements were natural and smooth, as if she moved casually.
But in Zhao Haoxuan's eyes, it was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.
Zhao Haoxuan's hand froze in mid-air. After a moment, he slowly let it go helplessly and sighed.
It seems that his Xinyao has become estranged from him and there is a gap between them.
He cursed secretly in his heart, this extremely hateful Gou Chunmei, who dared to use her charm on him and hurt Xinyao's heart!
The two walked out of the room side by side. Zhao Haoxuan's heart and eyes were filled with anger. He raised his feet and wanted to go to the side yard to settle the score with Gou Chunmei.
After Wang Xinyao packed up her things, she was determined to find Zhao Yue'er, and the two of them went to find Cui Yingying together.
At this moment, a slightly shrill voice came from afar: "The imperial edict has arrived, Xie Xiaogang and others, please accept it!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Eunuch Xu holding the imperial edict and walking into the Prince's Mansion with an upright posture.
During this period, Chen Jingyuan and General Xiong Yun had moved from the manor to the Prince's Mansion.
At this moment, upon hearing the imperial edict, Chen Jingyuan, Xiong Yun, Xie Xiaogang and Manager Chen reacted quickly, knelt down with a plop, and respectfully received the imperial edict.
Eunuch Xu first bowed respectfully to Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao, and then slowly unfolded the imperial edict.
The effeminate voice rang out clearly in the silent courtyard: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:
Now, the Miao Kingdom’s eldest prince, Chen Yingtao, has dared to kidnap the princess. This is an act of great treason, and it truly makes me deeply saddened.
At this critical moment, Xie Xiaogang, Chen Fu, Wang Yuan and Xiong Yun stepped forward and their loyalty and bravery are commendable.
The four of them worked together, overcame many hardships and dangers, and finally succeeded in rescuing the princess and bringing her back to the court safely.
His outstanding achievements demonstrated his unwavering loyalty to the court, as well as his extraordinary courage and talent.
In recognition of their contributions, the four men were awarded 10,000 taels of silver, 100 acres of fertile land, a mansion in the capital, 100 pieces of silk, and were promoted to generals of the imperial guards.
I hope you will continue to work hard and serve the country to ensure the peace and prosperity of our country and its people. Announce this to the world so that everyone will know it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
The four of them knelt down together to express their gratitude, their voices loud and respectful.
There was unconcealable joy on their faces, and their smiles were full of gratitude for the emperor's grace.
Xie Xiaogang was so excited that his eyes turned red.
As the son of a village chief in the countryside, he never thought that one day he would have his own mansion in the capital.
It was a luxury he never even dared to dream of, but now it has become a reality.
The 10,000 taels of silver awarded by the emperor, piled up like a small mountain, was enough to change the fate of him and his family.
And the vast fertile land meant that he had become one of the wealthy and the owner of the land.
All of this stemmed from his acquaintance with Wang Xinyao.
If it weren't for her, I would probably be trapped in that small village for the rest of my life, struggling to make a living.
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaogang was filled with gratitude towards Wang Xinyao.
If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he really wanted to run to Wang Xinyao immediately, hug her tightly, and express his gratitude.
However, this joy did not last long.
The light in Xie Xiaogang's eyes gradually dimmed, and he couldn't help feeling bitter.
The emperor can give you everything you have ever dreamed of with just a casual reward.
This huge gap made him deeply aware that there was an insurmountable chasm between him and Princess Zhao Yuwei.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to reach the level she was at.
Xie Xiaogang sighed softly, thinking silently in his heart that perhaps he and Zhao Yuwei were not destined to be together after all, and would never meet again in this life.
"Father-in-law, you must have had a hard journey. Please drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Wang Xinyao handed over a cup of steaming hot tea with both hands steadily, with a gentle smile and just the right amount of concern in her eyes.
Eunuch Xu hurriedly reached out to take it, a flattering smile on his face, his tone filled with intimacy and familiarity:
"Miss Wang, our family is really thinking about your sugar-roasted chestnuts this year."
Now, Eunuch Xu and Wang Xinyao are very familiar with each other. They no longer beat around the bush when talking and just say what they want directly.
"Yes, of course!"
Wang Xinyao's smile became even more intense, her eyes curved into crescents, as if hiding the stars in the sky.
She turned around and took out four bags of chestnuts, handed them to Eunuch Xu, and said softly,
"You can keep this bag for yourself. Please help me take these three bags to my father, mother, and the queen mother as a token of my appreciation."
"Thank you, Miss Wang!" Eunuch Xu took it with both hands, his movements full of gratitude.
Zhao Haoxuan, who was standing aside, saw this scene and felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.
He couldn't help but say, "Eunuch, Xinyao is now the Crown Princess. Don't address her so casually from now on."
When Eunuch Xu heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and advised:
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words! It's fine if you know this in your heart, but you must never speak it out loud. The situation is still unclear, so you must proceed with caution."
"Hmph!" Zhao Haoxuan frowned, his face full of impatience. He turned his head away and muttered softly, "Old antique, you only know how to use these rules to restrain people."
Eunuch Xu pretended not to hear, looked around and asked curiously:
"Miss Wang, where is Xiao Xizi? He used to be by your side, why is he nowhere to be seen today?"
Wang Xinyao remained calm and unhurried, replying, "My father-in-law, Xiao Xizi is currently at the manor. He's in a critical period of cultivation and can't get away."
"Critical period?"
Eunuch Xu was slightly startled, and his memory instantly went back to the time when he entrusted Xiao Xizi to Wang Xinyao. At that time, Xiao Xizi was only at the Martial King level.
Wang Xinyao seemed to see his confusion, nodded slightly, and added: "He is now sprinting towards the Venerable Realm with all his strength."
"What, the Venerable Realm?!"
This time, Eunuch Xu could no longer sit still and his voice suddenly rose.
You know, he himself had a hard time breaking through the Venerable Realm, and it was all thanks to the elixir given by Wang Xinyao.
He didn't expect that in such a short time, Xiao Xizi was almost reaching this level. This speed of cultivation really surprised and amazed him.
