Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!
Chapter 423 - 409: Good News

Chapter 423: Chapter 409: Good News

Although feeling extremely anxious, the summon had to be made to invite the other party into the grand hall,

As soon as the young Emperor summoned, the Messenger Soldier immediately raised the battle letter high and rushed into the grand hall of the Imperial Palace,

Of course, while the young Emperor was filled with anxious emotions, and the numerous officials harbored their own thoughts, suddenly, the Messenger Soldier shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! A great victory at Hangu Pass!"

This sentence, like a heavy hammer, suddenly struck the hearts of everyone present,

Even the heart of the young Emperor thudded.

Of course, following that sound, a surge of ecstatic joy burst forth from his heart,

And at the same time, the expression on his face instantly relaxed.

Of course, what he valued most was not the significance of the victory itself, but that the victory meant Lin Yi was safe, that there was no danger on Lin Yi’s side,

This rascal not only lived well but also won a battle for Your Majesty, how could this not uplift her mood?

You should know that in just that moment, the young Emperor had thought a lot,

He even thought about whether Lin Yi could survive unscathed if they had really been defeated?

He was very regretful now.

And with this victory report, the initial repression in the young Emperor’s heart was instantly and completely released,

Standing not far from her and secretly observing, Ying Yi also breathed a sigh of relief,

And when his gaze returned to the young Emperor, he too noticed the subtle change in her expression,

It was evident from the Emperor’s expression that she truly felt relieved, and that reassurance made Ying Yi also breathe a sigh of relief.

You should know that during the time Lin Yi went off to war, Ying Yi was anxious too, only that the Shadow Guard had not sent any news.

This was not to say that the Shadow Guard was slower than the other soldiers, but because this Messenger Soldier was a member of the Shadow Guard.

After all, this was a matter of national importance, a matter of military significance, therefore this Messenger Soldier did not report directly to Ying Yi, but went directly into the court.

As he held up the petition in his hand and came under the young Emperor’s steps, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, raising the battle letter high.

Again he shouted, "A great victory in the front."

At that moment, the young Emperor initially wanted to stand up and take the battle letter in her hands, to personally read the contents written on it.

But thinking that the Civil and Military Officials were still watching her, the young Emperor suppressed that emotion,

Forcing herself to calm down, she gestured very serenely to the small eunuch serving nearby to fetch the petition,

And the small eunuch hurried down, trembling slightly as he ran up to her after picking it up, carefully placing it in front of the young Emperor.

As for whether there might be Hidden Weapons inside, there was no need to worry.

Although the item wasn’t opened, it had been thoroughly checked, so there was no need to worry about those dangers.

The young Emperor quickly opened it, and her gaze swept across it, instantly absorbing the lines of text.

After reading the text, the young Emperor’s demeanor was momentarily baffled, followed soon by a wave of ecstatic joy,

The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up,

And this scene also made the Civil and Military Officials below tremendously curious,

They too were itching to know the contents written on it,

Ever since the young Emperor opened the decree, the Civil and Military Officials unanimously focused their eyes on what was in the young Emperor’s hands, and seeing the young Emperor’s expression, they grew even more anxious.

On the contrary, there was one person present who was not curious and even showed a relieved smile on his face,

This man was none other than the venerable General Mu.

Upon seeing the young Emperor’s expression and hearing the words of the Messenger Soldier, the corners of General Mu’s mouth curled up involuntarily, while he also couldn’t help but mutter to himself in his heart:

"Heh heh, truly a young man worthy of my admiration.

Truly my sworn brother.

He truly possesses the courage I had in my youth, hahaha, splendidly done, this time you have indeed made Your Majesty proud, made your older brother me proud as well."

These words, however, were only audible to himself,

If Lin Yi were to hear these words at this moment, he would probably blush a deep shade of red,

After all, this sworn brother matter was truly one-sided on the part of the general.

After all, in Lin Yi’s view, this was a mess up of seniority.

Of course, these are digressions, now coming back to the point, after the young Emperor examined the Petition, he passed it to the small eunuch beside him, then with a forced calm tone, he spoke:

"Heh heh, this young Lin has done wonderfully, this time actually overcoming more with less,

and with almost zero casualties, defeated those barbarians,

truly worth my meticulous guidance.

Well done. Splendidly done.

Go and have this Petition read by every dignitary present."

Following the young Emperor’s words, the small eunuch, holding the Petition in both hands, quickly walked up the steps of Jinluan Hall, arriving in the center of the officials.

Of course, the first to review it was directly handed to General Mu.

This wasn’t to say that the general held the highest official post, rather it was because he held the highest seniority,

and adding to that, being an outstanding figure among the Generals, thus he naturally became the first to receive this Petition.

Of course, the most important point is actually that the young Emperor did this intentionally,

The young Emperor wanted to intentionally weaken the influence of the two Princes within the court,

and it is precisely because of this, the old general truly became the foremost figure.

When General Mu saw the content on this Petition, his originally calm emotions suddenly clicked,

Immediately afterward, his aged face couldn’t help but reveal a wide ecstatic smile.

The beard also trembled ceaselessly,

Clearly, General Mu was too excited, his facial smile could no longer be concealed, and at last, he heavily slapped his thigh.

He burst into a loud laughter:

"Hahaha, a joyous occasion for Your Majesty, hahaha, Your Majesty, General Lin’s battle can be said to be a unique move in history.

Truly a rare talent, a God-given genius, congratulations to Your Majesty for gaining such a capable general."

After finishing, he even directly bowed deeply to the young Emperor,

This bow represented more than just a mere congratulations,

It represented the endorsement from the leader of Generals.

This undoubtedly elevated Lin Yi’s status to another level.

Following his action, the two Princes standing by couldn’t help but feel their eyelids twitch.
