The Emperor's wedding feast began with a toast, but the wine proved too potent for most officials, causing them to fall unconscious. Meanwhile, the commoners and children of the capital rejoiced with abundant meat and sweets, a stark contrast to the distress of an unknown individual who felt a deep sense of loss amidst the celebrations.

Actually, without thinking about it carefully, one could guess that this person is none other than Leng Yu.

That’s right, at this moment, Leng Yu had returned from Yan Country to this side, but she happened to arrive just in time for today’s royal wedding.

Therefore, she did not rush to see Lin Yi, but chose to silently observe everything on her own. As she watched all this, two drops of tears involuntarily slid from the corners of her eyes.

As for what these tears represented, only she knew, especially when she saw Xiao Zihan in a magnificent red phoenix robe, her heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.

At this moment, she even had an urge to turn back to the lands of Yan Country she came from. Only there could she be oblivious to everything here, and avoid everything that happens here. After all, seeing the person you love get married, while the bride is not you, is truly unbearable for most people.

Although there is no system of monogamy in today’s society, in Leng Yu’s heart, she had already placed herself in that position.

After all, she didn’t believe what Lin Yi had told her before. Leng Yu didn’t believe that Lin Yi already had a wife, and now, this even more proves it.

This woman, who is now the Empress, had just gotten married, hadn’t she? If the two of them were truly together before, then there would be no need to have the wedding now, would there?

It means she hadn’t lost to an imaginary person, but instead, Lin Yi had found a new Empress, which she simply couldn’t accept.

Of course, although her heart ached immensely, she bore no hatred in her heart for it. After all, this was Lin Yi’s own choice, and it had nothing to do with her. If he chose her, it wouldn’t matter, but if he didn’t choose her, it would be the same.

Aside from feeling a bit heartbroken, there would be no other impact. Walking alone on the bustling streets of the Capital City, Leng Yu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, feeling the chilling cold all over her body, and her heart too felt somewhat cold.

She couldn’t muster any interest in anything; it felt as though her world was collapsing. As she walked down the street, someone soon noticed something unusual about her. A patrol of soldiers approached Leng Yu, and instantly drew their swords in front of her.

Of course, since today was the Emperor’s joyous day, naturally, no real blood could be shed.

Thus, you could see the people drawing their swords only to scare the other party a bit.

However, even when they blocked her way—she seemed not to even see them, continuing to walk forward, this scene made several soldiers exchange glances.

These fellows were preparing to forcibly stop Leng Yu, but before they could speak, a soldier came running up beside them, clearly of higher rank from his attire, and he sternly reprimanded them:

"Fools. Open your dog eyes, get out of the way."

After chastising his subordinates, he looked towards Leng Yu, his face showing respect, as he bowed to Leng Yu, loudly exclaiming:

"Subordinate Centurion of the Left Guard, greets Lord Leng. This subordinate was newly transferred and did not know it was you, please forgive the offense."

It was clear that this fellow recognized Leng Yu, and as for the group around, upon hearing this, they were all startled. Though they did not know Leng Yu personally, they had certainly heard of her fame.

In all of Dayou, there was only one Lord with the surname Leng, a person of such stature, calling Leng Yu a Prime Minister would not be an exaggeration.

It could be said, that Lord Leng was a special presence in Dayou. Earlier, everyone thought Leng Yu would become the Empress of Dayou, but they later confirmed that was not going to happen.

Although this person couldn’t become the Empress, it was clear that the Emperor treated Leng Yu like his own sister, making her status unique.

Because of this, once they knew this was indeed Lord Leng Yu, those who had drawn their swords earlier began trembling with fear, wanting to step forward and explain, but lacking the courage.

Fortunately, Leng Yu at that moment did not have the heart to deal with them, even after hearing the Centurion’s words, she simply waved her hand, not giving him a glance, and without stopping, walked slowly forward again.

According to common sense, given Leng Yu’s noble status, after returning, naturally there should be subordinates accompanying her. It shouldn’t have been possible for Leng Yu to walk the streets of Chengjing City all alone.
