Chapter 23

The Guangling army returned to the capital, and the citizens gathered in the streets, cheering to welcome their heroes.

Murong Feng sat atop a tall horse, as majestic as ever. This was his moment of glory.

Luo Huanghun followed behind the procession and secretly slipped back to the Luo family residence.

Her father brought out the family’s disciplinary code to punish Luo Huanghun, but her mother’s tearful pleas eventually stopped him.

Luo Chenhui circled Luo Huanghun with a look of wonder. “Remarkable! Our Luo family has produced a female military doctor.”

Luo Huanghun rolled her eyes at him and hugged her mother, gently comforting her.

Her father sighed. “Ultimately, you have inherited your grandfather’s medical skills. He would be proud.”

Luo Huanghun smiled faintly. Looking at the lively Luo family—her brother alive, her parents not exiled—her eyes welled up.

She had finally changed their fate, her own and that of the Luo family.

Luo Huanghun walked out of the courtyard. The sky was a brilliant blue, and everything felt so beautiful.

She looked in the direction of the imperial palace. Today was not only Murong Feng’s return but also the day of Minister Ren’s trial.

Minister Ren was beyond saving and was sentenced to death, his family to exile. Because Prince Guangling pleaded for leniency, Ren Jingsi’s death sentence was commuted, but he was forbidden from entering the capital or holding office for life.

He met Luo Huanghun one last time before leaving, but Murong Feng held her tightly, not allowing him much time for conversation.

Everything was coming to an end.

The regrets that had taken root in Luo Huanghun’s heart were finally over.

There was still one matter that worried Luo Huanghun slightly. “The war is over, and there are no more rewards to bestow. Will the Emperor…”

Murong Feng smiled slightly. “Just wait and see.”

Luo Huanghun received an imperial edict for marriage at the Luo residence. It was accompanied by a reward for Princess Lin’an.

Murong Feng, having no rewards for himself, bestowed them all upon Luo Huanghun.

The Luo family’s prestige soared.

More importantly, Murong Feng relinquished his military command and requested to leave the capital. He would depart after the wedding, under imperial decree, to inspect various regions.

Luo Huanghun asked Murong Feng, “Isn’t this a bit… unrewarding?”

Murong Feng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the magnificent landscape of Da Yin. “In the first half of my life, I fulfilled my promise to protect Da Yin. In the second half, I want to live for myself.”

Murong Feng extended his hand to Luo Huanghun. “Are you willing to see this beautiful land with me?”

Luo Huanghun smiled faintly and placed her hand in his.

Murong Feng clasped Luo Huanghun’s hand. “Besides, the military officials in the court are all those I trained. The military power is the same wherever it lies.”

Luo Huanghun finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The grand wedding of Prince Guangling, Murong Feng, and Princess Lin’an, Luo Huanghun, was a spectacle of ten miles of red silk and the most distinguished guests in the capital, envied by countless young ladies.

Even though Luo Huanghun was remarrying, no one dared to voice any criticism. Prince Guangling was not to be trifled with, and he protected his wife impeccably.

Those who learned of their story were rarely unmoved.

Not long after, on a mountaintop in Jiangnan, Luo Huanghun and Murong Feng stood hand in hand under the setting sun. Murong Feng suddenly felt inspired. “Shall I read a poem for my wife?”

Luo Huanghun asked curiously, “What poem?”

Murong Feng recited leisurely, “The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, only because it is near dusk!”

They looked at each other and smiled. With their beloved by their side, there was no better scenery.
