Chapter 525: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Seventy-Five)
After the Ji State was conquered, Liang Sheng also followed the army to the former imperial palace of the Ji State. In order to stabilize the former courtiers and people of the Ji State, Liang Sheng stayed in the Ji State for two months before leaving. The journey back was not peaceful either, and he would encounter various ambushes every few days.
"Remnants of the Wu Clan? After you broke away from the Ji Kingdom's royal family, why are you still acting under the banner of the deposed emperor? Take them away."
Liang Sheng threw the human skin mask in his hand onto the table and no longer looked at the woman who had killed the maid and infiltrated the team.
"Your Majesty, she took the poison in advance and died from it. Wu Lan's whereabouts have not been discovered."
"No hurry, she just wants to kill me. I'll wait for her to come."
Liang Sheng opened the window and looked at the mountains in the distance. Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist, it seemed like a good place.
"Two hundred miles to the northwest, that's the Northern Frontier, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Change the route and go to the Northern Frontier secretly."
Liang Sheng had a hunch that what he wanted was in the northern border.
Over the years, he'd been so disappointed that he'd grown up with so many things. What could Xuan Yunian, his childhood friend, be hiding from him? People's hearts were fickle, and Liang Sheng had always been a man of few words. But now, he had a suspicion.
"Your Majesty, may you be well and safe. Now the whole world belongs to you. Congratulations on achieving your wish. I never expected that your Majesty would come to the Northern Frontier in person at this time. Yunian's preparations were hasty, and I'm afraid I may have neglected your Majesty."
"It's okay. I just left Southern Xinjiang. I haven't been to Northern Xinjiang for many years, so I came to see you."
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Your Majesty, you can revisit your hometown and experience the customs and people of Northern Frontier." Liang Sheng observed the Northern Frontier Palace as he walked. The carved railings and jade bricks, the pavilions and terraces were all exquisite, but the layout had the spaciousness of the north, and the atmosphere was soft.
The king and his minister exchanged pleasantries for a while. When Liang Sheng learned that the Princess of Northern Frontier and the Crown Prince had gone out of town for some business and were temporarily away from the Northern Frontier Palace, he looked natural and seemed to have no other intentions.
"Is the young princess at home?"
Xuan Yunian smiled and shook his head, saying, "This girl is the most attached to her brother. When she heard that her mother and brother were going out, she kept clamoring to go with them. Shi Er softened her heart and agreed to her request."
"I've never met your wife and children. I heard that the Princess of Northern Frontier is a skilled doctor who has uncovered many conspiracies; the Crown Prince is intelligent and polite, beloved by the people of Northern Frontier; and the young Princess is eccentric, enjoys martial arts, and has even taken a martial arts master as her teacher. I've long wanted to meet them, but unfortunately, I arrived at the wrong time."
"Your Majesty, there will always be a chance in the future."
"That's right." At this time, the servant came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince, the gentlemen have arrived."
The emperor personally came to the Northern Frontier. He kept a low profile all the way and only revealed his identity when he arrived at the Northern Frontier Palace. Naturally, these officials rushed to pay homage to the emperor without stopping.
At night, after washing up, Xuan Yunian asked, "Madam, is she still in Zeshui City?"
"In reply to your Highness, there are water ghosts in Zeshui City, and a river god has appeared, fooling the people and parading through the streets. Madam just wrote to say that it was done by an evil cultivator who has been practicing for two years. He relies on a few minor magic tricks to pretend to be a ghost and harm the people. She has seen through his tricks and will soon be able to deal with him. Then she will return with the Crown Prince and Princess. Don't worry."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Madam. In ten days, won't there be a three-day boat race and flower viewing event in Zeshui City? Let Madam take the children to play and come back after that."
"Yes, I'll pass the message to Madam right away." "Forget it, I'll write the letter myself."
After writing the letter, Xuan Yunian handed it to his subordinate. After reading a booklet under the light, he turned off the light and went to bed.
Liang Sheng stayed in the Northern Frontier Palace for ten days, and also went to nearby prefectures and counties for inspection during the day.
Ten days later, Xuan Yunian finally breathed a sigh of relief after Liang Sheng left. Fortunately, Li'er was not in the palace, otherwise she would have revealed her flaws when meeting Liang Sheng, which might have caused trouble.
But he was happy too early...
