Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Resurrection_1
Bai Ruozhu’s body trembled involuntarily, shuddering slightly, while Jianqi beside her was unaware that they had once killed Li Yi, and asked with some surprise, "Master, what’s wrong?"
She didn’t answer Jianqi, but just stared intently at Li Yi. For a moment, many thoughts had flashed through her head, wondering if she had seen wrong, or if that man was Li Yi’s twin brother, or perhaps someone who had disguised himself to look like Li Yi. Yet, when she saw Li Yi giving her that wicked smile and mouthing the words "You can’t escape," she knew that the man before her was indeed Li Yi!
Li Yi was a prince of the Turkic Country who had infiltrated the Danliang Country’s Tongzheng Division and had even ascended to the position of Right Tongzheng. At that time, the right side was considered superior, so the Right Tongzheng held a slightly higher rank than Jiang Yichun’s master, Left Tongzheng Wu Yunfeng. But who would have thought he was a spy? This was a slap in the face for the Tongzheng Division, and even more so for the Danliang Emperor.
Therefore, even though they had discovered Li Yi was a Turkic person back then, the matter had been covered up. Only now, he was supposed to represent the Turkic Country in meeting with Tang Yin; one couldn’t help but wonder what Tang Yin would feel upon seeing him.
Of course, if you think the matter is that simple, then you are sorely mistaken!
Initially, when Jiang Yichun uncovered Li Yi’s identity, Li Yi used his authority in the Tongzheng Division to try to capture and kill Jiang Yichun. Bai Ruozhu then went alone to Xuantian Mountain and, under the alias of Divine Doctor Zhuhua, provided free medical treatment for three days, which allowed her to establish contact with Jiang Yichun.
Afterward, Li Yi attempted to capture Bai Ruozhu multiple times, but she managed to escape repeatedly. In the final battle, Bai Ruozhu, Jiang Yichun, and Xu Huilin killed all his men, and when they were about to take his life, he produced a Gold Immunity Token, claiming to be the son of the Former Emperor of Danliang Country. Despite their shock, the three of them showed no mercy and killed him anyway.
That Gold Immunity Token still silently lay in her Space.
Yet, Li Yi had returned, bringing with him vengeance and a marriage proposal. On the surface, he was the prince of the Turkic Country, but in truth, he was also a prince of Danliang. This affair was not going to end well!
While Bai Ruozhu was lost in thought, Li Yi had ridden past on his horse, leaving her with only the view of his retreating figure and causing her to feel waves of chilliness.
"Send someone immediately to inform Achun that Li Yi has been sent by the Turkic Country for the marriage alliance and tell him to hurry back," Bai Ruozhu instructed Jianqi in a low voice.
Jianqi promptly arranged for someone to handle it, and Bai Ruozhu, unable to sit still a moment longer, returned home immediately.
Before long, Jiang Yichun also rushed back and said, "I’ve already found out. The Emperor has decreed a banquet to welcome the Turkic Envoy Group, and I have informed him of Li Yi’s identity. However, he’s not known as Li Yi now but as Prince Saihan."
Bai Ruozhu frowned, "Did the Emperor say what he plans to do with him?"
Jiang Yichun shook his head, "The Emperor said that since the other party is a prince here for marriage, he can’t be dealt with for the time being."
Not just "for the time being"—it’s likely that the Emperor would have to bite his tongue and not act at all. Otherwise, if the marriage alliance with the Turkic fails, the Turkic could soon join forces with Chengshui to attack Danliang from both sides, and the Emperor can’t afford to take that risk.
"Master, Xu Huilin requests an audience," a voice like thunder called from outside the room.
Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu exchanged glances. The three of them were together again, yet it was because of the matter concerning Li Yi.
Soon after, Xu Huilin strode in.
"I thought you hadn’t arrived in the Capital City yet," Jiang Yichun’s voice was somewhat cold, tinged with a mocking tone.
Showcasing a look of embarrassment and with an apologetic smile, Xu Huilin said, "I arrived a few days ago, but my master has tasks for me and instructed me not to disclose my whereabouts. You know that now only I remain by my master’s side, I..."
"Alright, I’m not blaming you. You came rushing over after hearing the news, didn’t you?" Jiang Yichun raised his hand to stop the continuation of Xu Huilin’s words.
"Indeed, how has this man come back to life after a sword pierced his heart?" Xu Huilin asked in distress.
Bai Ruozhu suddenly showed a look of realization and said, "We weren’t cautious enough before, we should have cut off his head. I remember that **** never succumbed to my poison, as if he used some strange method to save himself. Moreover, some people have their hearts on the right side, so stabbing through the heart doesn’t necessarily mean his heart was actually pierced."
Jiang Yichun nodded, "No matter what, he’s not dead. What should we do next, should we tell the Emperor about Li Yi’s identity?" he asked, looking at Bai Ruozhu, "And that amulet that spares the bearer from death, should we hand it over to the Emperor as well?"
"It’s better to talk to the Emperor in private about this matter than to be exposed, after all, we did kill a prince," Xu Huilin felt it was better to be honest.
"I don’t think there’s any rush. Li Yi is vindictive, but no matter how much he wants to retaliate against us now, he’s unlikely to reveal his status as a Danliang prince. Think about it, if he’s a prince of Danliang, would the Turkic king still keep him alive? Then everything he has now would be gone. Even if the Emperor acknowledges him as his elder brother, how would that help? His claim is illegitimate, and at most, he could become a prince without real power, closely watched by the Emperor’s men. Would he want that?" Bai Ruozhu disagreed.
Jiang Yichun took Bai Ruozhu’s hand and said, "I agree with my wife’s view. It’s not that we can’t tell the Emperor now, but the Emperor might harbor some resentment, wondering why we hadn’t reported this to him earlier."
Bai Ruozhu shared this concern and realized that after spending more time with Achun, their thoughts had become aligned, always reaching the same conclusions.
"Then what is the purpose of this ambitious man proposing a marriage alliance? Could it really be that he intends to marry Princess Diao Bin, who is his half-sister?" Xu Huilin said, massaging his temples.
Jiang Yichun patted him on the shoulder, "You’d better not show yourself these days. Hide in the shadows so he doesn’t detect you, in case we need you unexpectedly."
Xu Huilin hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. It was then that he noticed Jiang Yichun still holding Bai Ruozhu’s hand and immediately said discontentedly, "Yo, your kids are already that old, and you’re still being so lovey-dovey. Don’t you consider my feelings as a bachelor?"
Jiang Yichun gave him a look, "Given your current status, do you think you would have trouble marrying a suitable woman of a good family?"
Xu Huilin touched his nose and coughed twice, saying, "No rush, no rush. I want to establish my career before starting a family."
Bai Ruozhu showed no mercy as she said, "Don’t even think about Tu Ying; she has absolutely no feelings for you."
"Hey, Bai Ruozhu, how long have you been married to him that you’ve learned to be as sharp-tongued as he is? I’m his senior, which makes me your senior too. Can’t you save me some face when you speak?" Xu Huilin nearly jumped up.
Bai Ruozhu’s mouth curved into a smirk, "I can’t, I like to speak the truth."
Xu Huilin clutched his chest, staggered back two steps, and pretended to faint. Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun both laughed, and their mood much improved.
At that moment, hurried footsteps came from the door, followed by Chenfeng’s voice, "Master, the Emperor has sent a message..."
