Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 790 Tears (First Update)
Ye Chutang remained calm and asked in a flat voice, "How can this news be confirmed as true? Where is Ah Feng's body now?"

The area in front of the hall was deathly silent.

No one expected Ye Chutang to react this way upon hearing the news. For a moment, everyone thought she was too heartbroken to accept it.

Chen Songshi sighed deeply, "Ye Yunfeng and his soldiers fought desperately to defend the city. Outnumbered, they held out for so long thanks to him. Feng Cheng of Xiacheng later led troops to reinforce, but by the time they arrived, it was already too late… Both sides suffered countless casualties in this battle. Feng Cheng searched for Ye Yunfeng for a long time before finally finding him, but… but…"

He looked away reluctantly, seemingly unsure how to continue.

Ye Chutang stared intently at Shen Yanchuan, "So, Ah Feng's body is still in Duzhou?"

Shen Yanchuan pursed his thin lips slightly.
"Four days ago, Feng Cheng had already ordered that people be sent to escort A Feng back to the capital. Judging by the days, he should arrive in about half a month."

This is to escort the coffin back to the capital.

Ye Chutang then asked, "Did the military report mention anything else?"

Shen Yanchuan was slightly taken aback, "You mean..."

“When Ah Feng left, I gave him a personal amulet, which may be his only keepsake,” Ye Chutang said. “If I have the chance, I would like to know if that amulet is still around.”

Shen Yanchuan looked at her, his dark eyes clear yet sharp.

He had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "The letter said that because the fighting on the battlefield was extremely fierce, many soldiers' corpses were actually indistinguishable, and Ah Feng was no exception."

"Yanchuan!"

Chen Songshi couldn't help but call out to him again.

Why tell her such bloody and cruel things in such detail?
Isn't this just like stabbing her in the heart again?

Ye Chutang nodded, "I understand, thank you, Your Highness."

She bowed again toward the door of the Imperial Study.

"Chu Tang entered the palace today in a moment of impulsiveness and abruptness. I hope Your Majesty and the officials will forgive her."

A palace maid hurried out of the hall and approached Ye Chutang, saying cautiously, "Second Miss Ye, His Majesty said that you were also deeply concerned about your younger brother and had done nothing wrong. General Ye also bravely sacrificed himself to defend the city, truly loyal and courageous! You... please accept my deepest condolences!"

Ye Chutang nodded and then took her leave.

Shen Yanchuan looked down at her, wondering how to start the conversation, when he heard a deep, unfamiliar voice behind him. "Achuan, go see her off."

Ye Chutang looked past the crowd and saw a tall figure standing in the Imperial Study.

Marquis of Dingbei, Shen Youyan.

Ye Chutang recognized his identity almost immediately.

He was dressed in black armor and had a sword at his waist. Even from a distance, one could still feel the chilling aura emanating from him.

He looks to be around forty years old, but you can still tell how handsome and dashing he must have been in his youth.

His gaze fell on Ye Chutang.

Ye Chutang never expected that her first meeting with Shen Youyan would be like this.

The murderous aura emanating from Shen Youyan seemed to have faded considerably, and he nodded slightly to Ye Chutang.

Knowing son Moruo father.

He had long been curious about Ye Chutang, and seeing her today answered all his previous thoughts and doubts.

Such a woman is naturally different from others.

No wonder A-Chuan is so enamored with him.

Shen Yanchuan nodded. "I'll see you off."

Xiao Wu finally came to his senses.

She raised her face blankly, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

What were they talking about just now?
She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

Ye Chutang lowered his eyes and gently took her hand.

"Xiao Wu, let's go home."

Xiao Wu's tears suddenly welled up.
