Chapter 47: Straightforward Military General x Eccentric Prince 18

Chapter 47 Straightforward Military General x Eccentric Prince 18

Early June.

Geese, which should have migrated north, were flying south abnormally, often circling over the Lu residence.

Sitting in the courtyard, Lu Yunqi watched a goose land in front of him. He took the letter from its leg and carefully scanned it.

[The day is near. I hope to reunite with you.]

These short lines made the burly man grin. He carefully held the letter from the goose.

“Changli is finally coming back.”

“It’s good as long as he’s safe, as long as he’s safe!”

At that moment, Madam Lu, who had brought her son to the residence in the east of the city to see her nephew, stared in surprise at Lu Yunqi, who was happily spinning around. Her mouth twitched slightly, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Lu Yunxiang, only 11 years old, tilted his head and looked at his eccentric cousin with confusion.

“Mother, what’s wrong with cousin?”

Madam Lu suppressed the shock in her heart, raised her hand to touch her son’s head, and then stepped forward to grab Lu Yunqi’s ear, roaring through gritted teeth.

“Lu Yunqi, what madness are you spouting?!”

Ever since Gu Changli suddenly disappeared three months ago, her eldest nephew had started to act lovesick, staying at home every day and refusing to see anyone.

She originally thought that Lu Yunqi had bullied the child, but after asking, she learned that Gu Changli had gone home, but he refused to say where Gu Changli had gone.

It made her anger surge!

When Lu Yunqi brought the young man home, he said that he was an orphan and he had taken him in as an adopted brother to raise. She agreed because she saw that the young man’s background was pitiful.

But before long, her eldest nephew fell for him. Fortunately, Gu Changli also liked him, so they, as a couple, took the initiative to arrange a wedding for the two children.

But less than two months after they got married, Gu Changli suddenly disappeared, and Lu Yunqi said that the young man had gone home to take care of some matters and would be back soon.

Although they were surprised, they didn’t say anything.

After all, Gu Changli’s appearance and bearing were indeed extraordinary, and he might have an unusual background. Calling himself an orphan and not telling them might be due to some hidden reason.

However, Gu Changli had been gone for three months, and her nephew was waiting at home every day with anticipation, which really made her inexplicable anger keep rising.

“If you can’t bear to be without Gu Changli, go find him! We’re not stopping you, so why are you acting lovesick at home every day!”

“Since you have feelings for each other, what do you have to fear?!”

Lu Yunqi was stunned by her roar, and his excited mood calmed down for a moment. “Aunt, Changli is coming back to see me today.”

Madam Lu continued to release her death glare.

–Keep making things up, keep making things up for me! You’re definitely having a lovesick episode and going crazy again!

Lu Yunxiang stood beside him, blinking his big eyes.

He suddenly heard a burst of hooves outside the courtyard, and it seemed there were also soldiers running.

“Mother, cousin, it seems like someone is coming outside.”

Hearing this, Madam Lu released Lu Yunqi’s ear and quickly walked to the courtyard gate to check the situation.

Lu Yunqi rubbed his ear and followed closely behind.

The precocious Lu Yunxiang ran to catch up with them, craning his neck to look at the elite troops outside the courtyard and the carriage protected in the center by black-armored cavalry.

He tugged at Madam Lu’s sleeve and asked, “Mother, where did these people come from?”

Madam Lu’s expression was grave. “These are the Jinghuai City guards. Why would they come to Wuzhou?”

And why did they have to come to her nephew’s courtyard?

Lu Yunqi stared straight at the luxurious carriage protected in the center by the black-armored cavalry, his fiery gaze fixed on the hand that lifted the curtain.

…It’s Changli, Changli is back!

The person who stepped out of the carriage was none other than Changli, who was also Lu Yunqi’s newlywed husband.

Unlike Lu Yunqi’s surprise and expectation, Madam Lu and Lu Yunxiang, mother and son, gaped and stared blankly at the familiar face.

“Changli…”

“Brother Changli…”

Gu Changli slowly walked down the imperial carriage, looking straight at the man standing at the gate of the residence.

“Lu Yunqi, I’m back as promised.”

Hearing these words, Lu Yunqi could no longer control the longing surging from the depths of his heart, and strode towards the young man he had been thinking about day and night.

He stretched out his arms to embrace his lover, the affection in his eyes seeming to solidify.

“Changli, I’ve finally waited for you to come back.”

He didn’t disobey him and had been obediently waiting for Changli to return to Wuzhou from Jinghuai City. Fortunately, he finally waited for his beloved.

Liang Qin, who dismounted, first looked at the ordinary residence that wasn’t very big, then at the stunned mother and son at the door, and finally at the young man who was hugging the new Emperor.

He remembered that the new Emperor called this man Lu Yunqi.

Judging from his appearance alone, this man who had truly entered the new Emperor’s heart had upright and handsome features, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a height of over eight feet.

It had to be said that he indeed had a manly bearing!

However, when he thought of Lu Yunqi’s identity and experiences, he couldn’t help but sigh a few times.

It was a pity that such a talented person was born at the wrong time.

He had actually heard of Lu Yunqi, but that was nine years ago.

Nine years ago, the Chizhou garrison general swore to protect the northern border, and the brave sacrifice of the border soldiers successfully blocked the nomadic tribes that had invaded the northern border again.

Unfortunately, after these soldiers died, they were falsely accused by petty men, and they went from being national heroes who defended their country to being traitors who were disloyal to the Emperor in the mouths of treacherous officials.

And that Chizhou garrison general was Lu Yunqi’s father. At that time, Lu Yunqi was only seventeen years old and quite famous in martial arts. He had once knocked on the Dengwen Drum to ask the Emperor to retry the case and restore the reputation of his father and the border soldiers.

The person who jointly requested this was also Lu Yunqi’s uncle, who was the current governor of Wuzhou.

However, their request was useless.

His father, the Emperor, didn’t want to care about the border soldiers at all, and even demoted Lu Jingren to Wuzhou.

Now that the Lu family had climbed onto the new Emperor, it was indeed a coincidence.

With his younger brother, the Emperor’s personality, he would definitely not treat the Lu family, who treated him with sincerity, unfairly.

Tsk tsk tsk, the Lu family was really good at investing!

Some of the officials who followed the new Emperor south thought that their colleagues in the court had invested in one prince after another who had fallen, and felt that the Lu family was really lucky.

In the whole world, only the Lu family had bet on the Ninth Prince, whom no one would bet on!

This was what it meant to have God chasing after them to give them food!

Lu Yunqi, who was being sized up by everyone with veiled glances, hugged the young man he had been separated from for three months as if no one else was around, his gaze fixed on the young man’s frost-like face.

“…It’s good that you came back safely.”

Gu Changli slowly released Lu Yunqi, his slender and strong fingers grasping the other’s large hand, his tone unhurried as he told him what he had done.

“Lu Yunqi, I have already issued an imperial decree to restore Lu Governor to his original position and return to Jinghuai City. I think your uncle should have already received the imperial decree by now.”

“The old case of your parents and the border guards nine years ago has also been handed over to the Ministry of Justice for retrial. Shen Yue, the Minister of Justice, will restore the loyal souls to their good name and peace.”

“As for the families of those border soldiers who died in battle, they will also be comforted by the imperial court.”

He hadn’t forgotten what he had promised Lu Yunqi, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The darkness during the late Emperor’s reign would not happen again.

Hearing this, Lu Yunqi’s eyes widened, and the hand he was holding the young man’s trembled slightly.

“I…thank you, Changli!”

Gu Changli glanced at the guards beside him, and the knowledgeable guards immediately turned their backs.

He looked at Lu Yunqi again, his eyes gentle, completely different from his usual indifference and coldness, with strands of tender affection flowing in the depths of his eyes.

“There’s no need to thank me between you and me.”

He met Lu Yunqi’s eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and he earnestly asked, “Lu Yunqi, I married you once. Now, are you willing to marry me?”

“…Are you willing to return to Jinghuai with me and be my Empress? Or my Great General?”

Lu Yunqi nodded heavily, “I am willing!”

“Just like geese flying south and ten thousand rivers returning to the sea, I will always run towards you with determination.”

Gu Changli married him once, and he would marry Gu Changli once.

So, all in all, they had two weddings, one folk and one royal.
