"I am Ji Shaocheng, a junior general from Beilu. I have come to greet Princess Changle."
Ji Shaocheng looked at Feng Qian and saw that Princess Feng Qian had a bright and dazzling light around her, which was much more elegant than that of Feng Yao. Her every move was graceful and generous, and her eyes were upright and selfless.
"So it's General Ji, a pleasure to meet you."
Feng Qian returned the greeting with a light fist salute, but she took a second look at Ji Shaocheng. He looked like an upright and promising young man.
Having said that, Ji Shaocheng felt reassured. His earlier worry about Alang's departure was now gone. Princess Chang Le must be Ling'er's friend, which was why she let Feng Qian leave in the first place. Now that Feng Qian had appeared, capturing Alang would be a piece of cake.
"I wonder if Ji Shaocheng could request Princess Chang Le to meet someone?"
Who is it?
Feng Qian raised an eyebrow, her beautiful black eyes unfathomable as she stared at Ji Shaocheng with curiosity.
Ji Shaocheng made no attempt to hide anything: "My Empress of Northern Lu is still a friend of Princess Chang Le, and the princess will certainly want to meet her."
"My friend."
Feng Qian's brow twitched, her heart slowly sinking. Then she looked at Feng Yao behind her, recalling what Ji Shaocheng had said earlier, and a look of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
"Very well, General Ji, lead the way. Since you are my friend, I must meet you."
After Feng Qian finished speaking, the woman in red led her people over and respectfully said, "Miss Feng, please be careful, lest there be a trap."
Sese was sent out of Yunjiang on the orders of her lord to protect Miss Feng. If anything were to happen to her, her lord would not forgive her.
This Miss Feng is the apple of their Yunjiang clan leader's eye. She was only allowed to leave Yunjiang to travel because she was too bored staying there. They should have found out about Alang long ago, but as soon as they left Yunjiang, they received news that Miss Feng's brother had been murdered. So they went back to the Great Zhou Dynasty together, but unfortunately they didn't see anyone and wasted some time. Miss Feng was in a bad mood the whole way until recently.
Feng Qian only wanted to see Hai Ling, so she ignored Sese's words and smiled as she spoke.
"Serse, you're being too cautious. Aren't you all here for us?"
Others might not know, but she did. Sese and her gang were poisonous, and ordinary people couldn't afford to mess with them. If you offended them, you were doomed.
Moreover, she has been in Yunjiang for nearly a year and has done a lot of research on Yunjiang's poisons. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to hurt her. She has quite a few poisons on her.
"Princess Chang Le, please."
Ji Shaocheng and the others respectfully invited Princess Chang Le, Feng Qian, to go to Liuyue Palace.
The group marched towards Liuyue Palace. After taking a few steps, Princess Changle remembered her younger sister Fengyao, stopped, and looked at Ji Shaocheng: "Please give Fengyao a proper burial."
"yes,."
Ji Shaocheng nodded and ordered the guards to immediately prepare a body for Princess Feng Yao of Zhaoyang. The guards then left to carry out the order.
Inside the bedchamber of Liuyue Palace, Hailing and Xiliang chatted for almost half the night. As dawn approached, they finally dozed off and closed their eyes.
No sooner had she woken up than she heard a eunuch outside screaming, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! General Ji requests an audience!"
The eunuch's voice trembled like a broken basket, broken into several pieces. It's no wonder, considering that there were many poisonous snakes and spiders crawling or hanging everywhere outside the palace. Which eunuch or palace maid wasn't afraid? They didn't dare to go near and could only shout from afar.
Inside the palace, the few people who were already sleeping soundly immediately opened their eyes, sat up, and their faces flashed with excitement. Could it be that Ji Shaocheng had captured Alang?
Hai Ling smiled and commanded in a deep voice, "Alright, take him into the main hall."
Inside the palace, Hai Ling used the Seven Star Glazed Bracelet to capture the poisonous snakes and spiders. Shi Mei, Shi Lan, and others came to help the people on the bed get up. After they were tidied up, they left the palace together and headed towards the main hall of Liuyue Palace.
In the main hall, three people were sitting: Ji Shaocheng, Shen Ruoxuan, and Princess Chang Le, Feng Qian.
Under the lamplight, Feng Qian's eyebrows and eyes became even more beautiful, with a bold and heroic air about them. Her eyes were deep and shimmering as she stared intently at one side of the hall, clearly very excited.
Sese and the others stood guard, not daring to be careless, and vigilantly watched the movements inside and outside Liuyue Palace.
At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps rang out from one side of the main hall. Soon, a group of people emerged amidst a profusion of flowers. The woman at the head of the group was stunningly beautiful, with an elegant demeanor that was unparalleled in every gesture. Surrounded by several equally outstanding women, they appeared in the main hall of Liuyue Palace like stars surrounding the moon.
Feng Qian couldn't help but squint and scrutinize the woman in the very center, the Empress of Bei Lu.
She had previously returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty and heard about Empress Hailing and her brother, knowing that her brother had deposed her and then she disappeared.
The woman in my memory, though lovely, was plump. The woman before me, however, was not only not fat, but also stunningly beautiful. Moreover, she had a cold and aloof expression that made her intimidating.
Is she sea lily?
As Feng Qian hesitated, Hai Ling led Xi Liang, Nalan Mingzhu, and others to the head of the main hall. The group looked down at the hall and immediately saw Ji Shaocheng and the others, as well as Princess Chang Le, Feng Qian.
Xi Liang was confused, but Nalan Mingzhu recognized Princess Feng Qian at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Princess Chang Le?"
Nalan Mingzhu's shout brought Hailing back to her senses, and she immediately ran down from the main hall with great joy, making Shimei and the others anxiously call after her.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Hai Ling had already run up to Feng Qian, her face beaming with a smile, like a radiant and beautiful flower.
"Feng Qian, it's you! I never expected to see you. How are you? Are you alright? Where have you been for the past year?"
A barrage of questions left Feng Qian unsure where to begin her response, but she learned that the woman was none other than Jiang Hailing, the daughter of the Jiang family whom her elder brother had married. The only questions that remained were: why was she in Bei Lu, and why had she become the Empress of Bei Lu? Feng Qian's mind raced with these questions, but she simply reached out and hugged Hailing, laughing excitedly.
"Hailin, is that you? I never imagined you would become the Queen of Beilu."
As she said this, a surge of sadness welled up in her heart, and she hugged Hailin and cried.
Upon hearing her cry, Hai Ling knew that Feng Qian must have learned about Feng Zixiao and her mother's affair, which was why it stirred up her deep sorrow.
"Don't cry, it's all in the past."
