After a few days of rest, Cheng huaijin and general Shi mu were able to move freely, but they couldn't use force for the time being.
Other than bestowing a marriage upon Lu Yang, the Emperor had also asked Cheng huaijin a question after he was free to move around. He asked if he wanted the reward from the martial arts competition right now.
Of course, Cheng huaijin wanted it now. He said that he wanted to ask Gu yingxue for help.
It just so happened that Gu yingxue was 15 years old this year. She was already of marriageable age and could get married. The Emperor waved his hand and bestowed another marriage to the two of them.
At the same time, he also betrothed another princess and prince of the western lands to the Prince and Princess of the great Zhou Dynasty.
A few happy events added together diluted the somewhat tense atmosphere in some courier stations in various countries.
