Yichang said, " Hai cang and ye zhu take care of remaining things. After you have finished go back to the palace and wait for me." He rides his horse and left. He saw a deserted house and stopped in front of it. It is the same house which he used to stay, but now it is lifeless.
He opened the door and went inside by seeing a pillar he remembered how his mother chased after him to feed food to him during his childhood. He has an ambivalent expression on his face. He recollected when his father gave him a sword.
After spending some time there, he left to the palace. When he saw a letter from yizhen saying, " Brother, How are you? Did you enter Ye city?" Yichang replied to her, " I have defeated Qi kingdom. I am good."
It would be better if I do not raise a topic about the emperor, as he is father of yizhen. I do not want her to dwell on her past and get upset. Later he sent a letter to the palace in Chen kingdom saying that, " Qi kingdom is defeated, emperor was killed, and the empress had escaped." Yichang took a rest in the palace.
Chen kingdom:
Emperor read the letter and he showed his contentment on his face. Emperor called a servant and ordered him, " Decorate the palace with red lanterns."
Yizhen felt relieved after reading yichang's letter. She checked inn's accounts. She got her amount back which she has invested. As the business is profitable, she increased the salaries of the staff. She took Yan and jingyi to purchase another inn, trained those new chefs, and started a new inn with a name "snow inn"
After one and a half month yichang returned to the Chen kingdom. He sent the military seal with ye zhu and he rides his horse and reached home. Yizhen rushed and held yichang's elbow he shouted " Ahhh.." Yizhen felt panic and asked, " brother, what happened to you?"
He replied, " Nothing there is a cut on my hand." Yizhen pulled his hand and took him to his courtyard. Yizhen started scolding his brother with a perturbed expression, " Didn't I tell you to take care of yourself, and how can you be so careless."
He grinned and said, " You are behaving like my mother." Yizhen said, " Oh really... Big brother and you always take care of me but why I shouldn't take care of you."
Yizhen told him to remove his robe, she bought medicine from the medicine box, and when she turned back she has surprised look on her face by seeing her brother's body is with scars and his stomach is wrapped with a cloth. Yizhen said, " Brother you got hurt on your stomach too." He said, "Hmm."
She told him to sit on his bed, she removed the cloth and saw the cut on his stomach. She thought thank god, it is not too deep. Then she sprinkled the medicine on his elbow and stomach and wrapped it with a cloth. Yizhen said, "Brother, do not wet your wounds. I will prepare soup so that you will recover quickly." She went to the kitchen.
She prepared chicken soup, chow mein, tofu and eggs, stir fried vegetables as side dishes, placed rice in the bowls, and asked mingyue to call Yan, yichang, jingyi, and jingtian. They all gathered and yichang said, " Is it a feast for us."
Yizhen said, " Brother you need to eat more protein to recover quickly. So, I have prepared these dishes" She placed a few dishes in jingtian's rice bowl and feeds her. Jingtian said, " Brother, it's tasty." Yizhen prayed and had food with them.
At night, yizhen went to bamboo courtyard, " Brother let me change your dressing. She helped him and they went to the backyard and sat in chairs. Yizhen asked him, " how is your journey to ye city?"
Yichang told her, " how he schemed and ended the war quickly." Yizhen asked him, " did you kill the emperor and empress?" He sighed how I should tell her and he said in a low tone, " I have killed only the emperor and by the time we reached empress has already escaped."
Yichang rubbed yizhen's hair and said, " little Zhen, it's late. You go to sleep.Don't think about this mess anymore.Everything is in the past now." She left. He thought I will protect you little zhen, you are the only family left to me.
Yichang went to the ancestral hall and lit incense and kowtow thrice. Then he went to his courtyard. After yichang left, a person who was waiting on bamboo trees used his martial arts and went into the peach courtyard.
Yuxuan saw yizhen was sleeping, he sat beside her, and he thought it has been a long time since I have seen you last time. He brushed her hair with his hand. He moved slowly and placed a kiss on her forehead.Then he left from her room.
Next day yichang went to the imperial palace, he knelt down and bowed his head and paid respects to the emperor. Emperor said, " You have done your job well. I will bestow you with land and fix your marriage in a couple of days."
Yichang said, " Your majesty, I am grateful to you.Without your support I won't be able to defeat Qi kingdom" Emperor said to all the ministers in the court, " Tomorrow evening I am arranging a banquet for celebrating our victory." He ordered the servant to give them the banquet invitation.
Yichang went home and said to yizhen, " There is a banquet tomorrow, you need to come with me." Yichang took yizhen out for shopping they selected dresses for banquet.
" Mingyue, don't get astonished by what you hear?" Yizhen told her in a soft tone.
" I am a girl"
" What did I hear, young master?"
" Yes...I am a girl. I have cross dressed myself" Yizhen said with her lips curved up.
Mingyue thought I never thought my young master is actually a girl. She rolled her eyes due to shock.
" Today, I am going to the banquet so, you decide on a hairstyle and tie my hair." Mingyue said, " yes, miss." when Yizhen was in the modern era, she wore a simple hairstyle. She was comfortable with this era's male attire.
Once she is in women's attire she need to be dignified and walk elegantly. She wore a white dress and her waist tied with sky blue belt. On top of it, she wore sky blue color robe with flowers embroidered on it. She placed two floral hairpins with tassels and wore her small bells tassel to her belt. She looked as if a fairy just landed from the heaven. She wore a veil to cover her face.
