Chapter 684 Two Imperial Edicts with Unpredictable Fortune and Misfortune (1)_1
Most people in Liu Yang Village had never laid eyes on a county official, let alone an "Imperial Edict" which they had only heard of in plays or tales passed around the streets. When the peculiar tone of "The Imperial Edict has arrived" was announced, it immediately stunned everyone, who failed to grasp the significance of those three words.
Just then, a pale-faced eunuch with no beard, dressed in a Gemstone Blue Crane Embroidered Robe, wearing a Peacock Cap Inlaid with Green Gemstones, and holding a Bright Yellow Imperial Edict, escorted by seven or eight Little Eunuchs in green, passed through the second gate and came into view of the onlookers.
From the respectful demeanor of the Little Eunuchs, it was evident that the status of this Eunuch with the Duty of Announcing Edicts was not low. However, upon entering the second gate, he did not proceed directly into the Mo Family’s main hall. Instead, he bowed gracefully to Xiao Ruiyuan, who had appeared at the doorway, peerlessly handsome yet with an exceedingly cold demeanor, and respectfully said, "Sir Xiao, please!"
As a Eunuch with the Duty of Announcing Edicts serving close to Emperor Huian, even in front of the eminent Great General Xiao Ruiyuan, he dared not presume too much.
Xiao Ruiyuan nodded slightly, leading Xiao Eleven through the villagers’ astonished gaze. With each slow step, he entered the Mo Family’s main hall, his eyes and heart filled only with the sight of the woman in the center of the room, whose face revealed surprise but whose eyes brimmed with joy.
They had not seen each other for over a month!
The sudden appearance of her beloved right in front of her was such a grand surprise that Mo Yan almost couldn’t control her own legs, nearly throwing herself towards the man silhouetted against the backlight.
