Chapter 2070 - 2071: Young in Age, Big in Ambition

"Even if we take a step back, if you really need someone to serve, isn’t there still me? I will serve, and you can continue on your own path. I know it’s not easy for you to have everything you have now."

As a woman, in this cutthroat world of officialdom, and without relying on him one bit, it’s truly not easy for her to have come this far today.

Whenever he thinks of the hardships she’s endured over the years, his heart aches unbearably.

Thinking of this, An Yizhi couldn’t help but tighten his embrace around Lu Moran.

Lu Moran wasn’t quite used to being embraced by An Yizhi, so she struggled a couple of times, but seeing that she couldn’t break free, she let An Yizhi continue holding her.

Her gaze remained on the political affairs, but she spoke lightly, "To avoid any unpleasantness after marriage, it’s very necessary to make things clear now."

An Yizhi asked with a smile, "And now?"

Finally, Lu Moran was willing to look at him, and she asked, "When do you want to get married?"

An Yizhi joyfully replied immediately, "My fifth brother and sixth brother plan to get married on June 6th, saying it’s a good day. Why don’t we also do it on that day? It would be perfect to bring my parents triple happiness."

"Okay." Lu Moran had no objections.

...

On June 6th, An Yiqi and Qi Jiaoqiao, An Yilin and Qi Linglong, An Yizhi and Lu Moran, three couples celebrate their grand weddings.

Taking advantage of this joyous occasion, Su Chengyu also announced a one-year tax reduction for the common people. Upon hearing this, the people of Xiyun were overjoyed, and united, Xiyun became more and more prosperous, incomparable to other countries.

An Yiqi’s wedding was also held in the Imperial City, and An Jing and Xiao Changyi had planned all along to leave the Imperial City only on June 20th and return to their secluded residence.

But on the eve of their departure back to their secluded residence, they received news that Emperor Feng Tianji of Wufeng Kingdom had suddenly died, and the Empress of Wufeng, in her grief, had taken her own life to join Feng Tianji.

Feng Tianji was Feng Feiyan’s father, and when Feng Feiyan learned that both her father and mother had passed away, she was immediately overwhelmed with grief.

The next morning, Su Yi Jing, along with some others, accompanied Feng Feiyan to Wufeng Kingdom to mourn.

An Jing and the others stayed an extra day before returning to their secluded residence.

...

Wufeng Kingdom.

The Emperor and Empress were buried in the same coffin, and it stayed there for forty-nine days before being transported to the imperial mausoleum. When Feng Feiyan and Su Yi Jing arrived at the capital of Wufeng Kingdom, it was precisely the day the coffin was sent to the imperial mausoleum.

The coffin had been sealed with nails, and Feng Feiyan was unable to see her father and mother for one last time, breaking down into uncontrollable tears on their coffin.

The country could not be leaderless for a single day. Feng Feiming, Feng Feiyan’s younger brother, had ascended to the throne of Wufeng the day after Feng Tianji’s sudden death.

Feng Feiming, though only twelve and a half, was not close to Feng Feiyan despite being her biological brother since they hadn’t seen each other much.

But Feng Feiyan is the Princess of Xiyun, and Su Yi Jing, the future King of Xiyun, had come too, so Feng Feiming had to put on a good show, as Wufeng was still no match for Xiyun at the moment. Once Wufeng could rival Xiyun in the future, he wouldn’t have to worry about Su Yi Jing as his brother-in-law.

It was clear that, despite Feng Feiming’s young age, he harbored great ambition.

Feng Feiming first insincerely consoled Feng Feiyan for a while, telling her not to cry, and then turned to Su Yi Jing in sorrow, saying, "Brother-in-law, you’ve traveled all the way from thousands of miles away with my sister, which would surely bring great comfort to my father and mother watching from above."

Having lost his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Su Yi Jing also felt sorrowful, so he just patted Feng Feiming’s shoulder and sighed heavily.
