After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 610 - 378: Silver Note (Request for Monthly Pass)

The person Fu Zhen sent out came back shortly, eyes wide with surprise, saying: "We asked several sources, and they all said that He Zhao and his brother were invited into the palace by the guard!"

"What?"

Both Fu Zhen and Yang Yi were taken aback by this, but Yang Yi composed himself more quickly. He exhaled helplessly, said nothing further, and gestured with his hand: "You can go back. When it’s time to depart, send someone to let me know."

Fu Zhen nodded, glanced at him, and then retreated.

Not long after Yang Yi returned to his room, He Zhao came back. The master and servant exchanged silent glances. In the end, just as He Zhao was about to explain what had happened, Yang Yi stopped him.

"Don’t speak of it. Get ready; we’ll leave at any moment."

He Zhao pursed his lips and bowed his head, acknowledged with a "yes," and withdrew.

Yang Yi sat quietly at a distance, staring ahead aimlessly for a while, and then lifted his hand to support his forehead.

...

Once the Emperor issued the decree of consent, Pei Zhan and his men quickly sprang into action. In just the span of two hours, they had organized their personnel and equipped them with weapons, completing all preparations.

In the room, Fu Zhen had prepared armor for Pei Zhan. Watching him busily arranging the entourage, in such a rush, her heart gradually surged with waves of emotion.

Finally, seeing him dispatch all the people and return to the room, she held the armor and approached him:

"Although it’s not a major issue, you have after all, committed to a military mission, and it’ll be dangerous. Don’t overexert yourself; be more cautious."

"Got it." Pei Zhan took the armor and donned it. Then he turned around to look at her, grabbing her hand with one hand and holding her chin with the other, leaning down to softly speak: "What’s the matter?"

Fu Zhen took a deep breath, looked up, and smiled: "Nothing. I’m just wishing for your safety. Now, now you have a wife, consider everything more carefully."

Hearing her breath, Pei Zhan felt a tenderness he had never experienced before, and he pressed her palm against his face: "Have you admitted it? Are you confessing your love to me?"

Fu Zhen’s face turned a little red, then she lightly glanced at him: "When I didn’t agree to separate from you back then, wasn’t that already an admission? Why are you still asking about this now?"

Pei Zhan chuckled, rubbing her palm: "I’m just worried. I’ll be gone for at least a month. I’m really afraid that when I come back, you won’t be here."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Fu Zhen laughed. As she looked at his brows and eyes, she couldn’t help but stroke his face, softly saying: "I won’t leave, I won’t go anywhere. Finish things quickly and come back soon."

Pei Zhan nodded, and his eyes brightened as he said: "Once I return, I want to consummate our marriage!"

With that, he grinned, and before the stunned Fu Zhen could react, he lowered his hand and strode towards the door.

At the threshold, he turned around, smiled broadly, and then took long strides, walking away!

Fu Zhen felt both embarrassed and shy, muttering "Like a fool," and her steps involuntarily followed.

The dusk gradually enveloped the capital city, the sound of hooves clattered across the long streets, echoing as they headed towards the distance.

Fu Zhen leaned on the doorframe, gazing wistfully at the increasingly quiet street, unwilling to return for a long time.

Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Pei accompanied each other to the doorway, exchanging a glance, after which Mrs. Ning softly asked: "Why didn’t Zhen Er go to see him off?"

Fu Zhen turned her head, her eyes red: "He wouldn’t let me send him off."

Looking at Fu Zhen, Mrs. Pei felt heartbroken, pulling her into an embrace: "That brat, really, doesn’t know how to care for others at all!..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

...

Dispatching five thousand troops for the court did not cause much commotion, only the fact that Pei Zhan was leading them, and that they were going after the remnants left by the King of Dayue Kingdom sparked involuntary attention, stirring an uproar both inside and outside the capital city.

The discussions in the city were essentially divided into two groups. One group was apprehensive of the Dayue people’s ambitions, doubting whether this expedition could truly eradicate them. The other group had boundless confidence simply because the Commander was General Pingxi. Both groups started betting in gambling houses, and even several teahouses began offering gambling stakes.

At normal travel speed, the journey from Yanjing to the interior pass would take seven to eight days. For the first few days, those remaining in the capital city were essentially waiting in suspense.

Meanwhile, within the northwestern pass, preparations had been made due to receiving military reports from the court. The checkpoints were so tightly guarded that not even a single sparrow could fly over them.

In addition, a few villages and towns near the northwest camp were stationed with soldiers to prevent Lian Yang from lurking there.
