709 Heading to the Daliang Kingdom

However, Jiang Ming did not say much. Instead, he looked at Murong Kuan. “Come with us to the Daliang Kingdom.”

Although the female ghost had erased his memory of what he had promised her, it did not mean that he could not fulfill it.

His duty now was to go to the Daliang Kingdom to take a look.

Murong Kuan was dumbfounded. He exclaimed and asked curiously, “Why do we have to go to the Daliang Kingdom?”

He felt uneasy.

Recently, there was a joyous occasion in the Daliang Kingdom. If Jiang Ming went, he would probably turn the joyous occasion into a funeral.

However, what he did not know was that the joyous occasion had already turned into a funeral.

Within the Daliang Kingdom, the prince regent’s residence was filled with joy.

Red lanterns were hung high up, and the place was filled with laughter. They all said that the second princess, Liang Sisi, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, was finally getting married. She and the prince regent were a perfect match. It was the perfect love story.

Liang Sisi had already put on her wedding dress. She looked at her exquisite face in the mirror, but her eyes were cold.

“Princess, the auspicious time is about to arrive.”

The maid hurried over and knelt down to pay her respects.

“I understand.”

When the maid entered, the coldness in Liang Sisi’s eyes disappeared without a trace. She smiled and stood up.

As the regent, Mu Beiqing was weak, the emperor had allowed him to sit in a carriage instead of riding a horse.

Hearing Mu Beiqing’s usual coughing, Liang Sisi got into the carriage.

Laughter lingered around the newlyweds. Behind them, the dowry was carried by a team of servants.

The path was paved with a red carpet, and golden leaves scattered around. The situation was incomparably grand.

As the carriage moved steadily, Liang Sisi came to understand that this wedding was destined to not be as peaceful as this carriage ride.

“Men! Quickly find the imperial physician! The princess is unwell!”

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Liang Sisi spat out black blood, and her body swayed.

The people around them were extremely flustered, and no one actually cared about Liang Sisi.

Liang Sisi smiled.

At this time, there was actually no one beside her to support her. Perhaps she should not have been so obsessed with killing her enemy.

Liang Sisi did not feel the pain from the hard ground as she had expected. Instead, she felt a warm embrace. She was stunned and tried to open her eyes, but she could not.

When her last bit of consciousness was about to disappear completely, a familiar cough sounded in her ears.

Liang Sisi paused.

Who was this?

When she woke up again, Liang Sisi’s face was pale, and her body was weak. She slowly ate some porridge.

The maid, Yue Ya, who had followed Liang Sisi to kill her enemies, had returned. Liang Sisi dismissed the other maids.

Yue Ya kneeled on the floor in surprise. “Congratulations, General! The issue with your heart has finally been resolved.”

“It has been hard on you to train the troops in the frontier fortress these past few days. You can rest well by my side for a few days.”

Liang Sisi was no longer as weak as before. She put the porridge aside. Her eyes were completely cold, as if she had become a different person.

The black blood she spat out was a show for Mu Beiqing and her father.

Although Mu Beiqing was plagued by illness, his talent was outstanding. He was also good at winning over people’s hearts. Almost half of the people in the court were his people. His power had also expanded to the point where he had to be eliminated.

Her father could not wait for the day Mu Beiqing died of his illness, so he made her pretend to be poisoned and frame Mu Beiqing.

Everyone said that Mu Beiqing was a man who was deeply in love with the princess. They could make the public believe that he had become possessive and toxic, which led him to poison the princess.

“Thank you, General.”

Yue Ya was overjoyed beyond measure.

She was happiest when she was with Liang Sisi.

“How is Mu Beiqing now?”

Liang Sisi frowned worriedly.

Mu Beiqing was a cunning old fox. She did not know if he had escaped or not.

“General, please rest assured. I saw Mu Beiqing wearing a prison uniform with his hands and feet bound by shackles. He followed the other slaves on the way to the border and was in an extremely miserable state.”

Yue Ya’s report was thorough. Liang Sisi fell silent, and she inexplicably thought of the coughing sound she had made when she fainted.

Hopefully, it was not Mu Beiqing. They were enemies and had never interacted much.

She consoled herself and waved her hand. “Yue Ya, you’ve exerted yourself for many days. Rest early.”

“Understood.”

Yue Ya left.

With the big problem with her heart resolved, Liang Sisi felt like a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders and she laid down comfortably.

No one would be a stumbling block to her father. The Daliang Kingdom had finally settled down.

She suddenly felt sleepy after being so relaxed. She yawned and fell asleep very quickly.

“Liang Sisi, you vicious woman! I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me?”

Mu Beiqing’s face contorted as he grabbed Liang Sisi’s throat. Liang Sisi felt like she could not breathe.

Liang Sisi opened her eyes and sat up.

Darkness filled the entire palace, but Mu Beiqing was nowhere to be seen.

She heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that it was just a nightmare. Mu Beiqing had been exiled by her father.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Liang Sisi was about to continue lying down to sleep when her hand touched something.

She touched it again. It was extremely smooth, like jade or something.

Liang Sisi woke up in shock and quickly called for someone to light the candles.

How could there be something like jade on her bed?

Liang Sisi saw the object clearly under the light of the candles.

It was a high-quality and flawless jade pendant that was quite expensive. When she turned it over and looked carefully, there was a word on it. It said “Mu.”

Mu Beiqing?

Liang Sisi subconsciously threw the jade pendant away, and her entire body broke out in cold sweat.

Why was Mu Beiqing’s jade pendant on her bed? Did Mu Beiqing escape?

Liang Sisi immediately regained her composure.

If Mu Beiqing had really escaped, he would definitely want to torture her to death. After all, she had schemed against him.

She could not let Mu Beiqing have his way.

“Call Yue Ya over.”

“Alright.”

The servant girl was about to leave when Liang Sisi quickly shouted, “Bring me another towel.”

The servant girl was very fast. A towel was quickly brought in, and a basin of water was thoughtfully added.

Yue Ya stepped forward respectfully. “Princess, may I know what’s the matter?”

Liang Sisi lowered her voice. “It’s time to call Prince Liang back. I wonder how the alliance between Prince Liang and Master Long is going.”

Yue Ya became anxious. “General, don’t worry. I’ll hurry to Prince Liang’s place.”

At the same time, Jiang Ming and his men brought Murong Kuan to his mansion.

Who would have thought that just as they sat down, Yue Ya would arrive immediately after, requesting to visit Prince Liang.

Murong Kuan suddenly became nervous when he heard that Yue Ya was coming. He glanced at Jiang Ming and the others and said hesitantly, “Please leave for a while.”
