You Xuanyao was about to rush into the raging fire, but the next second, several rooms inside You mansion exploded one after another. A huge wave of fire threw You Xuanyao out. He crashed heavily to the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
The fire instantly engulfed the entire You mansion, and the House servants scrambled to escape. But You Xuanyao gritted his teeth and stood up, determined to go back inside. "General! You can't go!"
His deputy Cang Shen held onto him tightly and said, "It's on fire inside, there might even be gunpowder. Going in there is just walking to your death!"
You Xuanyao eyes turned red, "Let go of me! A ge is still inside, I have to go save her!"
Before he finished speaking, another explosion resounded through the void.
You Xuanyao Watching the flames devour everything, he suddenly knelt down in despair. It's too late... He clenched the imperial decree in his hand, tears streaming down his bloodstained and dusty face.
" A ge ——"
This piercing scream made everyone present tremble. The general who had been invincible on the battlefield, with an unblemished record, was now bent over, holding the only remaining marriage certificate connected to Yang Qingge, crying in deep pain.
No one dared to come forward to comfort him. They couldn't bear to look, silent and motionless. The fire burned all night long.
Minister Gu's men confessed everything. From the beginning, Minister Gu had prepared for failure. He knew he couldn't kill You Xuanyao, so he sent someone to sneak into You mansion and plant explosives. If he couldn't kill You Xuanyao, he would destroy the person he cared about most, even if it was just a corpse. After hearing this, You Xuanyao immediately dismembered Minister Gu's body and had it chopped into bloody pulp.
He still felt unsatisfied and wanted someone to bring Gu Su's body to continue torturing. Cang Shen stopped him, using the excuse of accumulating virtue for Yang Qingge to prevent his frenzied retaliation. After the fire was extinguished, apart from a few House servants who couldn't escape, the soldiers carried out a charred and unrecognizable skeleton from the east wing.
The only thing that could prove Yang Qingge's identity on the skeleton was a few strands of red cloth stuck to it— the wedding garment that You Xuanyao had personally dressed Yang Qingge in before receiving the imperial edict. You Xuanyao quietly watched the skeleton lying in the middle of the courtyard, not shedding another tear.
His tears had long dried up.
He knelt on the ground, trembling, reaching out his hand, but stopped halfway, afraid to touch Yang Qingge.
He was afraid that after this touch, she would shatter and disappear completely.
Soldiers and house servants silently cleaned up the wreckage of You mansion, unconsciously avoiding the two people, not disturbing their final time together and farewell. But until night fell again, You Xuanyao did not get up. Cang Shen couldn't help but step forward and comforted in a low voice: "General, bury the lady, let her rest."
You Xuanyao His eyelashes trembled. He knew that he couldn't carry Yang Qingge's body forever, and he would have to part with her sooner or later. But he just didn't want to face this moment.
Seeing him silent, Cang Shen pursed his lips and was about to speak again.
You Xuanyao finally stood up with a stiff body. He gazed deeply at Yang Qingge for the last time, didn't start, and put all his weight on Cang Shen's supporting arm.
"Please... Cang Shen, bury her properly."
He no longer had the courage to watch her being buried.
Cang Shen nodded solemnly, "Yes, General."
You Xuanyao took a deep breath and walked out of You mansion.
Last night, the eunuch who delivered the decree stood in front of the mansion once again.
"General You, please receive the decree."
You Xuanyao knelt down with empty eyes.
The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and announced, "By the grace of heaven, the Emperor decrees: You Xuanyao has committed heinous crimes by killing both the Chancellor and a high-ranking official. However, considering the meritorious service of his late father to the state, You Xuanyao is pardoned from the death penalty and is to be sent to guard the frontier for five years. He is not allowed to return without further decree. Let it be known—"
You Xuanyao slowly bowed.
"I shall obey the decree."
