As the words fell silent, a moment of quiet descended over the Council Hall. The Emperor's smile faded slightly as he remarked, "Wasn't Yang Cheng's daughter reported to have died of illness this morning?" Though he was merely stating a fact, it still pricked at You Xuanyao's heart.
You Xuanyao clasped his hands tightly and said, "I will not marry anyone else in this lifetime. Your Majesty, please grant me marriage. I... only ask for a marriage certificate."
Seeing his determined expression, the Emperor sighed helplessly. "Granting you a marriage certificate is not difficult for me, but Xuanyao..." The Emperor walked to his side and patted his shoulder. "The departed has passed. It's best for you not to hold onto the past too deeply."
At this moment, he was not speaking as a monarch to his subject. Instead, he was speaking as a brother who had lived and died together with his younger brother, advising a lost junior as an elder. You Xuanyao replied hoarsely, "I understand."
The emperor waved his hand, "You may go."
As he left the palace, the sun was already high.
You Xuanyao rode away and upon returning to the mansion, he saw several house servants taking down the red curtains hanging in the residence.
His eyes darkened: "Who allowed you to dismantle it?!"
House servant trembled and dared not speak.
Originally, these were prepared for Yang Qingge's birthday. Now that he's gone, they were afraid You Xuanyao would be upset if he saw them, so they discussed taking them down. How did it end up angering him instead?
House servant In his heart, he was hesitating how to speak, but then he heard You Xuanyao say, "Hang them back up and arrange the 'double happiness' candles that were bought before."
House servant didn't understand: "General, those... are all used for weddings."
You Xuanyao brushed past him indifferently: "I'm getting married tonight."
After speaking, he walked straight into the room. The house servant stood still for a long time, then suddenly widened his eyes. General... is going to marry the late Miss Yang?!
The general has gone mad! He walked into the room, oblivious to the thoughts of the house servant, and sat by the bed, quietly watching Yang Qingge. He had visited her many times while she was seriously ill and in a coma.
She is just like this now, with her eyes closed and a pale face.
But also different, because from time to time she would furrow her brows, not knowing what bad scenes she had dreamt of.
At that moment, he couldn't help but reach out to smooth her tightly furrowed brow.
He can't bear to see her frown.
But many times, her frown is because of him.
You Xuanyao held Yang Qingge's stiff fingers with both hands and said, " A ge, this time, you are really my wife."
House servant all think You Xuanyao is crazy, but no one dares not to obey his orders.
For half an afternoon, the entire You mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, creating a festive atmosphere for miles around.
Everyone in Chang'an City knows that You Xuanyao is getting married, but they are all curious about who he is marrying.
In the evening, the emperor's decree arrived. You Xuanyao knelt in front of the mansion in a grand red wedding attire. "By the grace of heaven, the emperor decrees: It has been heard that Chancellor's daughter Yang Qingge is graceful and virtuous, gentle and kind, which greatly pleases us. At the time of General You Xuanyao's marriage, a virtuous woman should be chosen as his match. As Yang Qingge is outstanding among the women, and with General You, they are a match made in heaven, creating the beauty of a perfect couple. Therefore, Yang Qingge is to be betrothed to You Xuanyao. This is a royal decree—"
After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch handed it to You Xuanyao. The surrounding people fell silent for a moment, then the discussions began. Everyone said that You Xuanyao had gone mad to marry a woman who was already dead.
He turned a deaf ear to You Xuanyao. Today was the joyous day for him and A ge, and he thought she must not want to see blood. However, at that moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the end of the long street.
The commoners scattered like startled birds, creating a clear space in front of the You mansion gate. The newcomer was Gu Su's father, Minister Gu, who arrived with a large group of soldiers and pointed a long sword directly at You Xuanyao.
" You Xuanyao, you severed my son's arm and took his life. If the emperor won't seek justice for me, then today I will seek justice for my son!"
