I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 153 Closing the City Gate

Yunyue brought Lingyao and Yuxiyun into the house and closed the door. With just one look, they both knew what Yunyue meant.

He grabbed her arm and entered the space. Then he took out the bedding that Yun Yue had prepared and made the bed. Then he took Jiang Man out of the space and put her on the bed.

Jiang Yao was allowed in only after everything was cleaned up.

But Jiang Yao didn't dare to approach the bed for a long time. He was afraid to see his sister's appearance.

"Come here." Yun Yue said softly.

Jiang Yao then slowly moved to the bedside and saw his sister's appearance clearly.

Jiang Man was still unconscious with her eyes tightly closed. Her face, which was once beautiful and had some baby fat, was now skinny and bony. Apart from her face, her exposed wrists and neck were covered with scars. One could imagine what happened to her body...

"Sister...sister..." Jiang Yao held Jiang Man's hand. Tears fell.

They are still at home.

But everything is gone, everything has changed...

As the elder brother and the only living man in the Jiang family, he could do nothing. He couldn't save his sister or his family...

"Xiyun, I'll leave this to you. If anything happens, let Xiaoyan come to me." Yunyue looked at the time and said to Yu Xiyun.

"Okay, don't worry." Yu Xiyun nodded.

"Lingyao, remember to have someone bring some charcoal and food later."

Lingyao nodded: "I remember it."

"Then I'll go first. I have a lot to do later."

"Go ahead. Be careful." Yu Xiyun's eyes were full of worry. Although they had taken over the city, there were so many people in the city, and they didn't know what was going on. She couldn't do anything, she could only support them and not let them worry.

When Jiang Yao saw Yunyue was about to leave, he came back to his senses, stood up, knelt at Yunyue's feet and kowtowed to her deeply.

"Mr. Yue, thank you, thank you for saving my sister. I will repay you. I, Jiang Yao, keep my word, my family's treasure..."

"Don't be anxious. Take good care of Jiang Man first. I don't need that money." Yun Yue interrupted him and helped him up.

"Physical illness is easy to cure, but mental illness is difficult to cure. Jiang Man is traumatized now, so you should pay more attention to her."

"Thank you, Mr. Yue, for the reminder. I remember it." Jiang Yao bowed again.

Yunyue didn't stay any longer and left with Lingyao.

"Master, your health has just improved, and you are staying up late, can you handle it?" Lingyao felt distressed when she saw Yunyue's dark circles under her eyes.

"It's okay. Once I'm done with this, I'll get some rest tonight."

"Ah."

"Master." Lingyao called softly.

"Ok?"

"Thank you... Thank you for saving me and us." Lingyao saw Jiang Man's appearance and thought of her past self. Every time she thought of that time, she felt sick and wanted to destroy all the past. Her voice was a little choked.

Yunyue gently held her hand.

"Everything is fine, isn't it?"

"Yes! Everything will be fine! Jiang Man will be fine too!" All women in the world will be fine.

In the early morning, golden sunlight shines through the clouds, like golden arrows shooting towards the misty earth, injecting vitality into the quiet morning, announcing the beginning of a new day.

Yunyue held Lingyao's hand, the two frail women walked forward firmly under the rising sun...

.

At the city gate.

Some people who got up early and wanted to queue up to leave the city were puzzled when they saw that it was already past the time and the city gate was still not open.

Someone brave enough stepped forward and asked the gate guard: "Sir, why haven't you opened the gate yet? What's the matter?"

The guard at the city gate said in a serious voice, "The city gate will be closed for three days. No one is allowed to enter or leave. A notice will be posted soon, and you will know what is happening."

As they were talking, two people came over, one carrying rice milk and the other carrying a thick stack of notices.

The man with the rice paste brushed the wall a few times with a brush and posted the notice on the wall.

The people, who had been extremely anxious for a long time, gathered around, but most of them were illiterate.

"What does it say here? Why won't the city gates be opened within three days?"

"Bang, bang, bang!" The three gong sounds attracted everyone's attention.

"Let me explain to you what this notice says. After you listen, please inform each other." The man cleared his throat.

"Prefect Lin has been here for more than three years. I think many people have heard of what he did, or have suffered greatly from it. A few days ago, he colluded with bandits and harmed many innocent people. Now there are knights from Nirvana Village who have captured Prefect Lin to seek justice for everyone."

"So, everyone who has grievances or grievances can appeal for justice at 3:30 p.m. today at the vacant land where the new government office will be built."

The man finished speaking. The crowd was in an uproar.

"What's going on? Is the city going to change people?"

"Hiss! How dare he arrest the prefect! Isn't he afraid that the imperial court will send troops to arrest him?"

"Is there going to be another war? Will it affect us?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha God has eyes! That bastard Magistrate Lin has gotten his comeuppance!"

"I want to see what happens to Officer Lin! His men broke my leg, but they threatened me that I can't seek justice!"

“Daughter… My daughter!!”

"..."

There were fears and worries among the crowd, but there were more cheers. This showed how many evil things Magistrate Lin had done.

People rushed to tell each other. Many people felt that something serious was going to happen and were worried about the safety of themselves and their families, so they ran home. They couldn't leave the city gate, so they wanted to see if they could hide their families.
