Because of Huang Yixiao's return, all of Mei Shu 'er's lies instantly collapsed. No matter how unwilling she was, she could only leave this place and return to the capital.
After Huang Yixiao followed Jiujiu back to the room, he saw Jiujiu place the sleeping Hu Zi behind the wound and directly hugged Jiujiu from behind.
As Huang Yixiao hugged her, the smell of blood spread around the two. Jiujiu wanted to push Huang Yixiao away, but she was afraid of touching Huang Yixiao's wound. She could only anxiously say: "Your wound has split open. Quickly let me go, I'll help you treat it."
Huang Yixiao lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu's forehead: "It's nothing, I just want to hug you."
When he was seriously injured to save the Emperor, he really thought that he was going to die. At that time, he thought that if he was lucky enough to survive, he would definitely hug Jiujiu properly. Now that he was alive, he naturally wanted to hug Jiujiu properly.
Gently placing his chin on Jiujiu's head, Huang Yixiao softly told her what happened during this period of time. After hearing Huang Yixiao say that he saved the Emperor's life, Jiujiu's eyes instantly turned red.
Although Huang Yixiao played it down, from his staggering steps and the smell of blood all over his body, this matter was definitely not as simple as he made it out to be. His understatement was just to cover up the danger at that time so that she would not be worried.
After the two quietly hugged for a while, Jiujiu pushed Huang Yixiao away and took out gauze and medicine to bandage his wound.
Huang Yixiao's wound was on his chest. It was so deep that the bone could be seen. It had already formed a scab, but because he hugged her just now, it split open again, revealing the pink tender flesh inside. The tender flesh was mixed with traces of blood, it was a ghastly sight.
Jiujiu's distressed tears instantly flowed down. She angrily glared at Huang Yixiao and went outside to get a basin of hot water. After carefully cleaning Huang Yixiao's wound, she carefully sprinkled medicinal powder and wrapped it up again with gauze.
After treating the wound, Jiujiu pushed Huang Yixiao to the bed to rest. She went to have Chen Zhangsheng kill a chicken to make chicken soup for Huang Yixiao to nourish his body.
At night, she gave Hu Zi to Ma Juhua and Chen Zhangsheng. The husband and wife quietly talked on the bed and unknowingly fell asleep.
Huang Yixiao's injury this time was very serious, so the Emperor gave him a very long vacation. He rested for more than two months. Huang Yixiao and his family then hired two carriages and wobbled back to the capital.
He was the top scorer in the imperial examination and had saved the emperor's life. No matter which one it was, his future was boundless. Moreover, because of his talent, the emperor especially valued him. Therefore, the emperor had prepared a residence for the top scorer early on. There were servants and furniture inside, and they were only waiting for Huang Yixiao to return to the capital.
The Emperor's residence had been empty for several months. Finally, it welcomed its new owner.
After two months of recuperation, Huang Yixiao's injury was almost healed. Although he couldn't do strenuous exercise, he didn't have any problem moving around.
After settling the family down, Huang Yixiao went to report on his mission.
Looking at Huang Yixiao, who was refreshed, the Emperor teased: "Beloved subject looks good. It seems that you have cultivated well."
Although the two of them were monarch and minister, they were also friends of life and death. When the Emperor teased him like this, Huang Yixiao directly retorted: "If the Emperor allows this subject a month's vacation, this subject will cultivate better."
Huang Yixiao's implication was that he hadn't cultivated well yet. It would take another month for him to recover.
It was already very generous of the Emperor to allow Huang Yixiao to recuperate for two months. Now that Huang Yixiao wanted another month, it was simply wishful thinking.
The Emperor knew that he couldn't argue with Huang Yixiao, so he directly changed the topic: "Shu 'er said that you bullied her? Is this true? "
Mei Shu 'er was the youngest daughter of the current dynasty's Great General, General Mei. Because General Mei's family had three sons and only had one daughter, Mei Shu' er, she had been pampered since she was young. The Emperor and General Mei had a close personal relationship and watched Mei Shu 'er grow up. He looked at Mei Shu' er like he was looking at his own child.
When Mei Shu 'er fell in love with Huang Yixiao, the Emperor wanted to grant her a marriage. Unfortunately, Huang Yixiao said that he already had a wife at home and refused his decree. However, the problem was that Mei Shu' er's heart fell on Huang Yixiao. A few days ago, she went to Huang Yixiao's village to find him. The Emperor thought that Mei Shu 'er would be able to win Huang Yixiao's heart. Who knew that not only did Huang Yixiao fail, he came back with a bitter face. After he came back, Mei Shu' er complained to the Emperor that Huang Yixiao bullied her.
However, Mei Shu 'er was used to having a child's temperament. Moreover, Huang Yixiao's temperament was steady. He definitely wouldn't do anything to bully Mei Shu' er. Therefore, the Emperor asked this question.
Huang Yixiao knew about the matter between the Emperor and General Mei. In a low voice, he told the Emperor everything that Mei Shu 'er had done in Mountain Yu Village. Huang Yixiao used a narrative tone and did not exaggerate in the slightest. However, what Mei Shu' er had done was too much. Even if the Emperor's heart was biased, when he heard that Mei Shu 'er had stolen Huang Yixiao's private seal and imitated Huang Yixiao's handwriting to force Huang Yixiao's wife to accept the divorce letter, he couldn't say a word.
He watched Mei Shu 'er grow up, but Huang Yixiao was also an official that he valued. Both of them were flesh and blood. If he really had to choose, the one that the Emperor would abandon would definitely not be Huang Yixiao.
Looking at Huang Yixiao's determined expression, the Emperor faintly sighed. When he opened his mouth again, he didn't talk about Mei Shu 'er's matter.
The words "absurd" weren't enough to describe what Mei Shu 'er did. It was simply absurd.
A daughter of a noble family actually did such a thing. If General Mei knew about it, she would definitely break her legs.
After he finished talking with Huang Yixiao, in order to make up for the harm that Mei Shu 'er caused to Huang Yixiao's family, the Emperor rewarded Huang Yixiao with some things. Then, he let Huang Yixiao prepare for the palace banquet that would be held in a few days.
Although it was called a palace banquet, it was actually a chance for the civil and military officials to gather together. The monarch and his officials would enjoy themselves and get closer to each other. The most important thing was that the Emperor wanted to see what Huang Yixiao's wife looked like. She actually made Huang Yixiao worry so much.
Huang Yixiao was now the top scholar. He was a fourth-ranked official and had a residence. Not to mention, in order to thank Huang Yixiao for saving his life, the Emperor gave him those priceless rewards. It was simply a true portrayal of getting rich overnight.
Long before Jiujiu and the others came, Huang Yixiao had his attendants prepare suitable clothes for everyone.
He had promised that when he had the ability, he would let them wear silk and satin. Now that he was the top scholar and had the ability, he would fulfill his promise and let them wear exquisite silk and satin.
On the day of the palace banquet, Jiujiu woke up early in the morning to tidy up.
