After returning to the capital, the Emperor summoned Yi Tianlin and Murong Ning.

The emperor indicated to Murong Ning who was kneeling on the ground to raise his head, "Let us see you when you raise your head."

Murong Ning obeyed and raised his head. The emperor looked at the woman up and down.

The Emperor looked at Murong Ning and said, "I was still wondering what kind of woman could make the usually unapproachable General Mo want to fight with her and bring her away. Now that I've met her, she's truly a beauty.

Yi Tianlin knelt on the ground and did not say a word.

The emperor swept a glance at the two and had someone take a brush, ink, and imperial edict. With a wave of his hand, he bestowed the two of them a marriage ?

"Since you like this girl so much, I shall give you a marriage so that you don't have to hurt the relationship between you and King Mo because of the same woman."

Murong Ning thought that the general would refuse the decree, but he never thought that Yi Tianlin would accept the decree.

There seemed to be a hint of joy in her eyes.

She had never thought of marrying the general in her life. She had never dared to think of that.

They didn't walk far from the imperial study before the empress sent for them.

The empress had originally invited only Murong Ning, but with the excuse of not being able to ease Murong Ning's worries, Yi Tianlin also followed.

Arriving at the empress's chamber, the empress dismissed the servants and Yi Tianlin made her stand guard outside before entering the house.

Murong Ning guarded the outside of the house. Hearing the woman's pouting and grievances, and the man's gentle and exquisite coaxing, his heart, which had originally been filled with joy from the wedding ceremony, once again cooled down.

She thought that the general was treating her well, or at least she was different from the other women who came knocking on his door. It was only today that she realized that she was the same as those women, she did not have any status in the general's heart.

What was really different was that the woman in the room at that moment, the general, would patiently coax her and make her laugh, a tenderness she had never shown anyone before.

It was also a gentleness that she would never be able to obtain.

When the emperor arrived, Yi Tianlin was waiting for Murong Ning to come out from the pavilion outside, while the empress and Murong Ning were chatting happily.

Hearing that the Emperor had arrived, the two of them walked out of the room with a smile, looking harmonious.

The emperor looked at the two women who were talking to each other about Sheng Huan's unwillingness to be separated. In front of the empress, he smiled and said to Yi Tianlin: "Looks like the general is truly moved this time.

Yi Tianlin replied with a smile, "Many thanks, Your Majesty."

"It's getting late, we'll be taking our leave." After Yi Tianlin finished speaking, he walked forward, held Murong Ning's hand and pulled her away while she was still in shock.

This was the first time Yi Tianlin held her hands, and his heart was thumping non-stop.

The empress's body swayed, almost falling down. The emperor quickly helped her sit down.

Murong Ning could feel the tightening of her grip on Yi Tianlin's hand.

She gazed at the empress in the emperor's arms, her expression somewhat absent-minded.

A man like the general should like a woman as beautiful and delicate as a flower, not as rough as a man.

On the day of the wedding, the general's manor was packed with people.

"The general is indeed capable. If I knew that woman was the general's lover, I would not have accepted her." When Prince Mo and Yi Tianlin were drinking, he asked with raised eyebrows.

Yi Tianlin laughed and clinked his cup with Prince Mo, drinking all the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Your highness, if you want to like women, wait for your highness to help me accomplish my greatest goals. All women in the world are chosen by you."

Prince Mo laughed and drank all the wine in his cup, "That is naturally good."

Yi Tianlin poured another cup of wine and toasted the Duke, "Then your highness will do my best to help this general. After all, this is a good thing for both you and I."

"Of course."
