Rong Heqing picked up the box and handed it to him, "Hold it for me."

Qin Yunxian didn't understand why, but he still took it obediently.

Then he saw Rong Heqing take out a small hairpin from the jewelry box and insert it into the keyhole of the box. He turned it gently and heard a slight "click" sound.

The small lock was opened just like that. Rong Heqing took off the lock and opened the box. Inside lay a neatly folded square piece of paper.

Qin Yunxian suddenly reacted, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "That agreement?"

Rong Heqing nodded and said, "I tore up the agreement when I promised you to come back. Now it's time to fulfill your promise."

She took out the paper and unfolded it. Looking at the words and handprints on it, they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

At that time, they actually already had feelings for each other and were attracted to each other without realizing it, or they vaguely knew it but it was not yet time to bring it up, so they both signed the agreement with their own thoughts.

Time has passed, and now when I look back on it I find it funny, yet at the same time I am moved by the fate and bond that exists between us.

Rong Heqing held both sides of the prenuptial agreement and applied gentle force. With a "swish", the paper was split in two from the middle. This was not enough. She folded the papers together and tore them several times. Finally, she put the fragments into the lampshade and set them on fire. The prenuptial agreement quickly turned into a handful of ashes.

The end of one period also marks the beginning of a new life.

Rong Heqing turned around and asked Qin Yunxian, "Where is your agreement?"

Qin Yun smiled and took out his purse, then pulled out a piece of paper.

Rong Heqing was surprised, "Do you always carry it with you?"

He nodded, his expression frank and his eyes clear, "When I signed the agreement, I was looking forward to the day when this agreement would become invalid, so I always carry it with me."

Rong Heqing's heartstrings moved slightly, watching Qin Yunxian tear up the agreement and throw it into the lamp, then he raised his hands to wrap around his waist and whispered in his ear: "Since the agreement has been torn up, shouldn't we also make up for our wedding night?"

Qin Yunxian's Adam's apple rolled up and down quickly, and his breathing paused slightly.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Rong Heqing. Rong Heqing's eyes were gentle but firm, and he was not joking.

Realizing this, his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He tightened his grip on Rong Heqing and asked in a low voice, "Have you thought it through?"

"What's there to think about? We are husband and wife. What kind of husband and wife are we if we only love each other but don't consummate the marriage?"

Qin Yunxian's face became a little red due to her frankness, but he began to think seriously about the bridal chamber.

The wedding night only happens once in a lifetime and is of great significance. It must not be taken lightly.

He pulled Rong and Qing to sit down beside the couch and said, "Let's talk about it after everything is settled."

Rong Heqing was not really in a hurry, he just expressed his attitude to him. After hearing what he said, he nodded and agreed.

They were going to attend a banquet in the palace in the evening. After returning, they took a bath first, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then began to change clothes and put on makeup and entered the palace early.

Many things were not clearly written in the 800-mile express message, so they had to explain them to the emperor in person.

The emperor also guessed that they would come and was waiting in the imperial study early in the morning.

Rong Heqing and Qin Yunxian, dressed in their best attire, came side by side and saluted without being servile or overbearing. "Your Highness greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

The emperor had been looking at them since they entered the room. He felt that something had changed about them, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He just felt that they were very pleasing to the eye.

He waved his hand amiably and said, "Get up. You have worked hard in this battle. You have won beautifully. I am very pleased."

The emperor looked at Qin Yunxian's handsome and deep eyes and said with emotion: "Old Nine has grown up so fast and can take charge of things on his own. I really should admit that I am old."

"Father is still in his prime, why should you belittle yourself?"

Qin Yunxian bowed his head and said, "I know that your father must have many doubts in his heart, so I brought the princess to the palace to help your father resolve his doubts. Regarding the matter of my tenth brother, please take a look at this memorial."

The emperor frowned and gave Du Man a look.

Du Man immediately stepped forward, took the letter, and presented it to him with both hands.

The emperor did not look at it immediately, but asked: "It is a foregone conclusion that he has committed treason and deceit. What else do you have to say?"

"it's not true."

Rong Heqing stepped forward and said, "The Tenth Prince has suffered a great injustice. If he had not sacrificed himself for justice, we would not have won so easily. Father, please read the letter patiently and you will know the whole story."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and opened the letter in doubt.

This memorial was written by Rong Heqing herself. She was an insider and knew more than anyone else, so it would be more convincing if she wrote it.

The emperor didn't take it seriously at first, but after he finished reading the memorial, he fell into a state of confusion and helplessness.

His hands were shaking as he held the memorial. He asked Rong Heqing, "Is what is said in this memorial true?"

Rong Heqing said, "I dare not lie to you, father. Everything in the memorial is true. I was able to come back to life because I saw the legendary immortal. The immortal said that I had completed my merits and virtues and was not destined to die, so he sent me back and told me about my tenth brother."

"She said that my tenth brother had a kind character and that it was pitiful that he had suffered such an injustice. She could not bear to see him be infamous for eternity, so she asked her son to explain the whole story to our father and give him justice and innocence."

The emperor was speechless for a long time after hearing this. No one knew what he was thinking, nor did anyone know whether he believed it or not.

After a long while, the emperor asked Qin Yunxian in a deep voice, "Is your mother's story true too?"

So many years have passed and the past events can no longer be verified.

Qin Yun looked at the emperor calmly and asked, "Father, you already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

The emperor was silent again.

Yes, how could he not know what his most beloved woman looks like?

After Concubine Hui was banished to the cold palace, he had already regretted it, but there is no medicine for regret in this world. He didn't want to slap himself in the face. If he took someone out right after banishing her to the cold palace, where would his dignity as an emperor be?

He thought of leaving her alone for a while, but who knew that this would be their last farewell.

Later, he did not dare to face his mistakes and did not dare to admit that it was his suspicion that killed Concubine Hui, so he did not allow others to mention it for so many years and ignored Qin Yunxian.

It was not until Qin Yunxian returned after making military achievements that he began to be used.

Now I think back on how ridiculous I have been these years.

He leaned back in his chair and pondered for a long time, then slowly exhaled.

Qin Yunxian said: "Father, my tenth brother was wrongly accused. I ask for your permission to clear his name and allow him to return to his ancestral home."

The emperor waved his hand tiredly and said, "I understand. I will handle this matter myself. You can go down first. I want to be alone for a while."

Qin Yunxianrong and Qing decided to stop when they saw that things were going well and didn't say anything else.

……

At the welcoming banquet that evening, the emperor rewarded his men according to their merits and promoted a large number of generals. He also announced the injustice of the tenth prince, rehabilitated him, restored his prince status, buried him in the imperial mausoleum with princely rites, and restored his status as imperial concubine.

When the imperial concubine knew that the tenth prince had already become a puppet, she knelt before the Buddha.

Even the queen and the prince were released.

At the end, he mentioned the deceased Consort Hui, Yuan, posthumously named her Empress Huixian, and promoted several of Yuan's descendants.
