    Ni Ruo convinced herself every day that the war was a national matter, and it was normal that it could not be resolved as scheduled. However, as the days passed, she still couldn’t help but think about it, and every day she would ask about the latest battle situation when she opened her eyes.

    In “The Red Door of Lust”, the instructor and the slave girl traveled away together and were happy; in her story, she was the only one who walked away alone, with a bleak future.

    She didn’t know how long she could hold on, and her heart became numb in the endless waiting.

    ——

    After more than half a month, the news spread throughout Rongcheng that the rebellion had been put down, the emperor had passed away, and the new emperor had ascended the throne.

    Xiandi had been suffering from physical illness in recent years, but this time he was betrayed by his most trusted sibling for decades. He was bedridden all the time and returned to the west a few days before the rebellion was assessed.In order to stabilize public sentiment, the DPRK and China waited until the new emperor ascended the throne to announce the news.

    The Fourth Prince’s army was repeatedly forced to retreat to the border, and had to surrender and be captured… After the entire army was wiped out, the Fourth Prince’s head was also chopped off by Xia Houkong himself, who was leading the siege. This ended the rebellion that mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and shocked the country for several months.

    On the same day that Ni Ruoze learned the news, he finally waited for Xia Houkong, who rushed to Rongcheng overnight.

    Xia Houkong was wearing a silver-grey casual robe. He was much thinner and more handsome than he was more than two months ago. His brows looked slightly tired, but he was still as handsome as before.

    When Ni Ruo saw her in the courtyard, he thought he had seen an illusion. He led her in, hugged her into his arms, and the familiar embrace and breath surrounded her. Only then did she dare to believe that all this was true. She felt distressed and punched him several times angrily, and then buried herself in his arms and began to cry.

    She almost thought…he would never come back.

    “It took some time to chase the fourth prince, but he didn’t come back within two months.” Xia Houkong hugged the sweet girl in his arms tightly, caressing her little face full of tears and comforted her softly, “Stop crying, I promise you, you and I will never be separated again.”

    He wholeheartedly hopes that the country will prosper and prosper. He has studied government affairs and military art for many years, but he is interested in revenge and has no interest in the throne. Therefore, he elected the Ninth Prince, the son of the Crown Princess who adopted him, to the throne.

    The Ninth Prince is three years younger than he and was crowned the year before last. However, he has little research and understanding of the affairs of the court, so he will temporarily serve as regent to assist the new emperor in getting familiar with the affairs of the court as soon as possible.

    After the new emperor took office, the Virgin Training Department was abolished at the suggestion of Xia Houkong. Hundreds of female slaves regained their freedom and received some money for travel expenses. Those who returned to their hometowns and those who were homeless had the court responsible for finding errands for them; the former instructors and female officers also dispersed to find a new life.

    Xia Houkong saw that Feng Niang had been working diligently and diligently for many years, so he hid Ni Ruo’s existence from the fourth prince for him, and allowed her to enter the palace and go to Shengchunfang as an errand, studying under Master Yan, and working for her.

    As for Di Xiao, he was dissatisfied with the suppression of the frontier fortress many years ago and wanted to revolt but had no power, so he secretly worked as a smuggler of arms. Cholera was in power, so he liked to see the chaos in the imperial city.

    It was just that this time there was a cooperation agreement with Xia Houkong. During the rebellion, Di Xiao spared no effort to assist Xia Houkong in terms of weapons and manpower. After the overall situation was decided, Xia Houkong followed the agreement and let go of his years of smuggling weapons, and also rewarded him with some preferential treatment for doing business in the capital. However, when he saw the world changing dynasties, he gave up his long-cherished wish and led a large group of tribesmen back to the frontier.

    “From now on, wherever my husband goes, Ni Ruo will follow him!” Ni Ruo pursed her lips, and her tears wet a large area of ​​Xia Houkong’s chest and skirt.

    She really can’t bear this kind of confused life again!

    “Okay~” Xia Houkong chuckled, caressing her head as she cried in his arms, “Even if you don’t say it, my husband will never leave you.”

    A few days later, after returning to the imperial city, Xia Houkong immediately began to prepare for the wedding of he and Ni Ruo.

    PS: Do you still remember the easter egg I wrote about the time when Wenwei was tortured?The catfish asked what was wrong with it, and later a cutie in the reader group gave me an answer that amazed me – probably because it was wrong that it scared Ruoruo.Ah ha ha ha

    PPS: There will be double updates on Saturday or Sunday – the finale, the pre- and post-wedding chapters, and finally a final statement + a small postscript to the later chapters.
