Chapter 543: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Ninety-Four)

In response to his son's question, Qiao Li said calmly, "Don't pay attention to her. She's just a prisoner. She's not a good person. If it weren't for my quick wit, she would have almost died at the hands of the Wu Clan. Now that she's in my hands, I think the Second Princess also wants her to die in the Northern Frontier, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed her to come to the Northern Frontier. As for your question, I'll tell you after we return home."

Wu Lan stared at Qiao Li intently and said, "Everyone says that Empress Cui is the most beautiful woman in Daliang, but who could have imagined that you would come to Northern Frontier in a different guise? Why did Liang Sheng let you go? Why did you become the Princess of Northern Frontier? For so many years, were the Empress and the Crown Prince in the palace fake from beginning to end? Cui Li, did you also deceive Emperor Liang?"

In fact, Qiao Li hadn't heard anyone call her "Cui Li" for a long time. The last time she saw Liang Sheng, she was not panicked. Perhaps she knew that her identity would be revealed one day, so she just met him and there was no need to panic.

However, Qiao Li didn't need to explain Wu Lan's doubts. She spread her hands and smiled, "You have a lot of questions, but why should I answer you?"

"You're a member of the Wu clan, why are you asking so many questions?" Xuan Shi turned to look at his mother, "Mom, I'll have someone tie her up and bring her back to the mansion for interrogation."

Wu Lan noticed that the boy seemed unaware of his identity and sneered, "It's my bad luck that you caught me today. I underestimated you. If it weren't for the fact that Liang Yu was special and I forced her to trade a secret for her freedom, I wouldn't have known I was being deceived. Cui Li, are you going to let your son recognize someone else as his father? Why don't you tell your son his true identity?"

Qiao Li said coldly, "This is a matter between us mother and son, what does it have to do with you?"

Wu Lan shouted, "How can it not be related? Your son has taken the position of Crown Prince! His name is not Xuan Shi, it's clearly Liang Yan. His mother is Empress Cui, the daughter of Duke Cui, and his father is the Emperor of Daliang! He is the legitimate crown prince! His existence is really glaring! Why doesn't he die!"

Qiao Li was not used to her bad temper and said, "If it hurts your eyes, poke them out! If you miss, go ahead and die!"

Wu Lan was so angry at the woman in front of her that her wounds were trembling, and Qiao Li had already had Wu Lan tied up and taken away.

After returning to the Northern Frontier Palace, Qiao Li removed the disguise on his face and restored his pure and elegant face. Xuan Yunian had already learned from Han Tong that Wu Lan came to arrest people. Thinking of Emperor Liang's handwriting, he realized that perhaps Liang Sheng also knew the identities of his wife and son.

Qiao Li nodded and said, "Well, last time in Zeshui City, he showed up to save me. I told him not to disturb our lives, so he compromised. With the current situation in the Liang Palace, maybe he's risking his own life to force Tuan Tuan and me to return to the palace to see him."

Xuan Yunian hugged his wife, gently stroking her soft black hair, and said softly, "He'll be fine. The current situation is the result of his own indulgence. I will lead the troops to the imperial capital. You and Tuan Tuan will wait for me at the Northern Frontier Palace, okay?"

"No, I'll go with you. We should have settled things long ago. As for Tuan Tuan, he's naturally intelligent. He's been traveling with me since he was a child and knows right from wrong. Even if he knew his own life story, it wouldn't alienate the relationship between you and your father. As for the future, it's up to him to decide."

Xuan Yunian sighed and finally agreed.

In the front hall, Xuan Shi saw his father and mother walking together and quickly stood up to greet them.

"Mother, Wu Lan has been imprisoned in the dark prison."

Seeing hesitation in his son's eyes, obviously influenced by what he and Wu Lan had said, Qiao Li explained what happened that year.
