Chapter 302: The Great General Surrenders
The Great Emperor Zhenwu pretended to be furious, his aura was so impressive and majestic that the entire General's Mansion was shocked. He shouted angrily, "It turned out that it was your son who openly snatched my bride at my wedding ceremony a few days ago! He made me lose face in front of so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries."
Wang Hua was so frightened when he saw the rage of the Great Emperor Zhenwu that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, trembling as he said, "Duke Zhenguo, calm down! Duke Zhenguo, calm down!"
Seeing how frightened Wang Hua was, Zhenwu Emperor calmed down and said, "Tell me! How can this matter be properly resolved? How can I save my face? Your son is still staying in my house and refuses to leave. He said that the bride I want to marry is the one he deeply loves, and they are in love with each other. He personally took the bride to his bridal sedan, but she was replaced by someone else in the middle of the journey. He insisted that I robbed the bride and that I forcibly separated them. He also said that if he couldn't take her away, he would splatter blood on my house of the general who guards the country."
Wang Hua looked at the Great Emperor Zhenwu in horror, and it took him a long time to come to his senses and said, "This rebellious son actually threatened to die. This is too much!"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu said angrily, "He threatened to kill himself in public, and my wedding was ruined by him, so I had to give up! I was also branded as someone who robbed someone else's bride! Tell me! What should I do now? How can I stop the gossips?"
Wang Hua was so frightened that his head was covered in sweat. He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said tremblingly: "This... this..."
Wang Hua knelt on the ground and said, "Duke Zhenguo, I have a bold suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu said coldly: "Let me hear what you have to say."
Wang Hua hesitated and said, "Could you please...give Miss Luo to me?"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu pretended to be furious, slammed the table and said, "How can you be so absurd! Your son has robbed my bride, and you want me to give up the person I love?"
Wang Hua prostrated himself on the ground, trembling, and said, "Please don't be angry, Duke Zhenguo. Let me analyze it for you in detail."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu pretended to be depressed and said, "Tell me! What do you think?"
Wang Hua bowed with both hands and said, "Now this matter has caused a great uproar in the city and everyone knows about it. It is no longer important who is right or wrong. The key is to calm this matter down and preserve your reputation as the Duke of Zhenguo."
Wang Hua saw that the Emperor Zhenwu's expression had relaxed a little, and continued, "We should unify our statements to the public: The Duke of Zhenguo was touched by Mr. Wang's infatuation with Miss Luo, and decided to help them achieve their goal by recognizing Miss Luo as his adopted sister, and letting Miss Luo marry into our Wang family as the adopted sister of the general who defends the country! This is the only way to end this matter properly, and everyone will think that the Duke of Zhenguo is sensible and reasonable."
After listening to this, the Great Emperor Zhenwu turned to Luo Ying and asked, "What do you think? It's up to you now. If you don't want to go with Prince Wang, I will execute him for treason to settle the matter. If you are willing to go with Prince Wang, then it's not impossible to follow Minister Wang's method."
Before Luo Ying could answer, Wang Hua said to her anxiously, "Miss Luo, please save him because of his deep love for you!"
Luo Ying looked at Wang Hua, then at the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and nodded in agreement, pretending to be embarrassed. The Great Emperor Zhenwu called his attendant and ordered, "Bring Prince Wang up."
After a while, Wang Shouren was brought to the main hall. When he saw Wang Hua, his heart tightened and he blurted out, "Father, why are you here?"
Wang Hua frowned and said angrily, "How dare you ask! You even dare to snatch the bride of the Duke of Zhenguo! Fortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo and Miss Luo are both very understanding and have fulfilled your love. The Duke of Zhenguo recognized Miss Luo as his adopted sister and allowed Miss Luo to marry into our Wang family as the adopted sister of the general who defends the country!"
Wang Shouren looked at Luo Ying excitedly and asked, "Really? Are you really determined to marry me and go back with me?"
Luo Ying nodded.
Wang Shouren stepped forward and hugged Luo Ying tightly, choking with sobs and saying, "Don't regret it this time and try the trick of replacing the prince with a cat again." Luo Ying nodded.
Wang Hua stroked his beard happily, clasped his hands together and bowed to the Great Emperor Zhenwu, saying, "Thank you, Duke Zhenguo, for your help!"
Emperor Zhenwu looked at the father and son and said, "Then you can all go back first! Pick an auspicious day to marry my sister!"
Wang Hua and Wang Shouren hurriedly joined their hands and bowed to bid farewell to the Great Emperor Zhenwu.
Emperor Zhenwu suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait a minute! You are not allowed to bully my sister when she marries you. If you bully her and make her suffer, I will take her back immediately, and you will never be able to take her back again."
Emperor Zhenwu looked at Luo Ying affectionately and said: "She... is the woman I love most..."
Wang Shouren felt uncomfortable when he saw the affectionate look that Zhenwu Emperor gave Luo Ying. Due to his status as a mortal, he had to suppress his emotions and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhenguo. She is also the one I love the most. I will not let her suffer any grievances."
After saying that, he left with Wang Hua.
For several days, Emperor Zhenwu stayed by Luo Ying's side, trying his best to make her happy, and his feelings for her grew stronger as they spent more and more time together.
The night before they parted, the moonlight in the garden was bright and flawless. The lonely figure of Emperor Zhenwu looked particularly lonely under the moonlight. He looked up at the full moon in the sky. The bright moonlight shone on his angular face, making him look unusually handsome.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu sighed deeply and said with great sadness: "Tomorrow, on the night of the full moon, I have to send you to someone else with my own hands. How can I be embarrassed by you!"
Luo Ying had been standing behind him silently, looking at his lonely back, she knew he was reluctant to let her go. Hearing his extremely sad sigh, her eyes instantly moistened, she couldn't help but hug him from behind, choking and saying: "Brother Taixuan, we are together for a short time, and we must say goodbye eventually. I only wish you peace and happiness in your life."
When Emperor Zhenwu heard Luo Ying's words, his defense was instantly broken and he felt an intense pain in his heart, as if he was being cut into pieces by thousands of sharp blades.
Emperor Zhenwu turned around abruptly and hugged her tightly in his arms, resting his head on her hair. He was in great pain. He said sadly, "Without you by my side, how can we be happy together? In the Qin Dynasty, you had Hua Yuchen by your side all the time, and I could only wait for you for 37 years. In this Ming Dynasty, you have Lu Guihuang by your side all the time, and I have waited for you for another 12 years. For nearly 50 years, I could only watch you from afar and guard you silently. I finally got to marry you, but you were robbed in public. Not only did I not get to spend the rest of my life with you, but I have to hand you over to another man tomorrow!"
Emperor Zhen Dawu put one arm around her waist and the other hand lifted her face. He looked at Luo Ying affectionately, tears in his eyes, and choked up as he said, "Do you know how much my heart aches? Why is our fate so short? I am not greedy at all. I just want to stay by your side and watch you silently like these few days. But why is the time I spend with you so short and precious?"
Luo Ying was heartbroken when she heard his words, and she didn't know how to respond to his deep affection. The two of them were silent, looking at each other affectionately, and countless emotions flowed between their eyes. Zhenwu Emperor couldn't suppress his passionate love for her, and couldn't help but move closer to her lips.
In the turmoil of emotions, the Great Emperor Zhenwu could no longer suppress his surging love for her. He gently opened his lips and kissed hers tenderly. The deep and strong love intertwined and flowed between his lips and teeth, as if it could melt all the ice and frost in the world.
At that moment, deep affection surged like the waves of the sea, lingering between their lips and teeth, flowing endlessly. Luo Ying gradually fell in this strong love, her heartbeat accelerated with his kiss, and her emotions surged in her chest. The emotions of the two intertwined and sublimated at this moment, Luo Ying was intoxicated in this passionate love, her heart was completely captured, and she couldn't help but respond to this affectionate kiss.
After a long time, the Great Emperor Zhenwu reluctantly left her lips, gently stroked her lips that were swollen after the passionate kiss, and said to Luo Ying with a bitter smile: "I suddenly wish I were Hua Yuchen, not only could I win your love, but also could own you legitimately. If I were him, I could directly refuse you to marry Lord Cangmo tomorrow."
Luo Ying was about to speak, but the Great Emperor Zhenwu interrupted her and said, "I know that you owe Lord Cangmo ten million years of favor, and he broke the heavenly rules by freezing the North Sea for you and was punished to go through tribulation. You owe Lord Cangmo too much, even if you have to give up Hua Yuchen, you will definitely go to help him go through the tribulation."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu hooked her nose, smiled and asked her jokingly: "You said you owed so many people favors, how can you repay them?"
Luo Ying smiled awkwardly. Zhenwu Emperor gently stroked her hair and said, "Okay! It's too late! I'll take you back to your room to rest. Tomorrow, Lord Cangmo..."
At this point, he suddenly choked up, his heart ached, and the sudden feeling of suffocation made him unable to breathe. He subconsciously covered his chest and continued with a sob: "He... will come to marry you tomorrow morning, you should get some rest early!"
After saying that, he silently took Luo Ying's hand and sent her back to her room.
