Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Dinner Invitation
Zhang Zongyi heard Wan Sifan’s question and replied, “It’s a small village near the border of Liang Province.”

After hearing Zhang Zongyi’s answer, Wan Sifan fell into deep thought. A few seconds later, Zhang Zongyi asked, “Master, do you think she will really go to Liang Province?”

Wan Sifan came back from his thoughts and replied, “Judging from the traces she left, she is indeed going to Liang Province. But– why is she going there?”

He frowned and ordered, “Go and investigate her motives for going to Liang Province. Once the preparations here are complete, I will go there myself.”

Zhang Zongyi clasped his fists and said, “This subordinate accepts the orders.”

After Zhang Zongyi left, Wan Sifan looked at the clear sky after the rain. He stared at the blue sky for a moment and sighed softly, “Elder Brother, I will leave to pursue my own life. We may not meet again in this life, but I hope you can live as happily as before.”

He sat for a while in the pavilion, then stood up and picked up his sword. When the housekeeper saw him coming, he said, “Wangye, the preparations are ready. We can leave anytime.”

Wan Sifan nodded, “All right. Let’s leave after we finish taking care of things here.”

A few hours later, while the soldiers were busy arranging the prisoners and making preparations, Wan Sifan and his party had already left the imperial capital city and were on their way to Liang Province.

At the same time, Xuan Ruiquan received an invitation from Emperor Yong’an for dinner after meeting Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings in the teahouse. The four of them returned to Yan Junwang’s Mansion to change clothes and rest for a while before heading to the imperial palace.

After last night’s rebellion and today’s execution, the imperial palace has become even more deserted.

Emperor Yong’an not only cleaned the imperial court but also cleaned the back palace. All discovered spies were thrown into Dali Si’s underground prison for interrogation, while those who were corrupt were exiled along with the prisoners.

As soon as Xuan Ruiquan, Duan Yixin, and the Chi siblings arrived, they found that the number of palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial guards was no longer as large as last night. Seeing the curiosity of Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings, Qiu Yuanbo kindly explained to them what happened after the rebellion failed last night.

When they arrived at the flower garden pavilion an hour later, Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings already knew everything.

Qiu Yuanbo smiled at the four of them and said, “Wangye, please wait here while Nucai informs His Majesty about your arrival.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded to him, and Qiu Yuanbo walked away. Half an hour later, he came back and said, “Wangye, His Majesty invites you to come to the lake pavilion.”

Xuan Ruiquan and others followed Qiu Yuanbo to the artificial lake in the middle of the imperial palace. When they arrived at the lakeside, Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui were already waiting in the pavilion.

Seeing they had arrived, Emperor Yong’an waved to them and said, “Come on. I have prepared wine and food for us.”

Duan Yixin saw her father there, saluted him, and then saluted Emperor Yong’an together with the Chi siblings.

Seeing how formal they were, Emperor Yong’an waved his hands and said, “There is no need to kneel or salute in front of me in private. We are all a family, and there is no need for these useless formalities.”

Standing on the side, Qiu Yuanbo felt a little helpless at Emperor Yong’an’s casual words. Seeing everyone seated, he ordered the palace maid to bring out the dishes. Chi Xinru drooled when she saw the food on the table.

Emperor Yong’an saw her staring at the food and smiled, “Everyone must be hungry, right? Let’s eat first.”

Chi Xinru waited patiently for Emperor Yong’an to take his first bite before she moved her chopsticks. Seeing that she had taken action, Chi Xiyou also joined the fight. Seeing the Chi siblings eating with gusto, Emperor Yong’an felt hungry and ate more than usual.

Half an hour later, they finished their dinner, and the palace maids cleared the table. Qiu Yuanbo then ordered them to bring dessert and wine. While enjoying dessert and wine, Emperor Yong’an looked at Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings.

He smiled and said, “Shimei, thanks to the evidence you gave me, I can successfully punish Duan Qinwang and Dai Qianyi. I also want to thank Young Master Chi and Miss Chi for providing important information so that we can prepare in advance and stop Ye Tianchi’s rebellion.”

Hearing this, Chi Xinru waved at Emperor Yong’an and said, “No need to thank us. That Ye Tianchi is also our enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is normal to help friends. If you want to thank us, just bring out some good food and wine.”

Emperor Yong’an laughed after hearing Chi Xinru’s straightforward words. He nodded and said, “Since Miss Chi has said so, then I can only follow your wish.”

He looked at Qiu Yuanbo and said, “Yuanbo, take out the tribute wine and let Miss Chi and Young Master Chi taste it.”

Qiu Yuanbo smiled, bowed slightly, and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

After Qiu Yuanbo ordered the palace maids to get tribute wine, Emperor Yong’an looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Shimei, when will you move back to Xie Guogong’s mansion?”

Xuan Ruiquan frowned when he heard his elder cousin’s question. He reached out under the table and held Duan Yixin’s hand but said nothing. Duan Yixin noticed the change in his mood and gently patted the back of Xuan Ruiquan’s hand holding hers.

Seeing that Duan Yixin was silent, Emperor Yong’an added, “I heard from A Quan that you two are planning to get married.”

“If you really want to get married, then you should go home and prepare for the wedding. If you still live in A Quan’s house, it will be very confusing when we go through the ceremonies. Moreover, living with your fiancé before marriage is not good for your reputation.”

After speaking, Emperor Yong’an glanced at his Shifu. Seeing Xie Yanghui drinking wine calmly and saying nothing, he sighed.

He looked at Duan Yixin again and asked, “After so many years of separation, don’t you want to live with your father?”
