Chapter 374: Letter
Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui then went into the mansion, followed by Qiu Yuanbo and the imperial guards.
Because Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui rushed to Yan Junwang’s Mansion, rumors spread in the imperial capital city. It is said that the eldest lady of Xie Guogong’s Mansion passed away, and Emperor Yong’an visited her for the last time in Yan Junwang’s Mansion.
Many people went to Yan Junwang’s Mansion after hearing the rumors to offer their condolences, but they were all rejected by Xuan Ruiquan, which made them more convinced that the rumors were true.
A few days later, after the morning court in Junshi Xianhe Hall, Chi Junheng gave Xuan Ruiquan a letter. Looking at the name signed on the letter, Xuan Ruiquan asked, "Uncle Chi, when will Xiyou come back?"
Chi Junheng walked beside him as they walked down the long stairs and replied, "Dalang has left the eastern border after receiving the news about Xin Xin. He should be on his way back now."
Xuan Ruiquan listened to Chi Junheng’s answer and nodded. The two of them walked in silence for a while, and Chi Junheng asked, "How are you and Xin Xin’s wedding preparations going?"
Xuan Ruiquan smiled and answered, "Everything is ready. I just wait for Xin’er to agree, then we can get married."
When Chi Junheng heard this, he raised his brows with a hint of surprise in his voice, "Have you not gotten her answer yet?"
Xuan Ruiquan shook his head, and Chi Junheng chuckled. Chi Junheng sighed and said, "I thought you would marry her as soon as she woke up. Didn’t you two already get His Majesty’s imperial edict five years ago?"
