Chapter 548: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Ninety-Nine)

Liang Sheng faced his beloved, his mind racing. He longed to embrace her, to confess his twenty years of yearning. He also wanted to snatch her back, but he couldn't. He knew clearly that time had passed, and he had missed his former lover. She now had a new husband and children, and she didn't want to return, so forcing her was useless.

Liang Sheng had to admit that he was jealous of Xuan Yunian. Thinking back to the time when the two of them were standing on a high platform in Northern Frontier gazing at the mountains and rivers, he felt that he was all alone and wished his good brother would not be like him, separated from his wife and children. Later, he even personally arranged the marriage. However, if he had known the identity of Xuan Yunian's wife earlier, Liang Sheng could not guarantee that he would consider the overall situation and would not charge into Northern Frontier to take back his wife and children.

But time is unforgiving, and now even his and Li'er's son has reached adulthood. Why should he do something that makes everyone uncomfortable? He is not a generous person, but at this point, there is nothing he can do, and broken mirrors cannot be mended.

After Liang Sheng calmed down, he looked at his grown-up son with tenderness on his face. This was the son he had lost and found again. He missed his son's growth, but fortunately the boy was well educated, with a dignified appearance and a noble bearing. When he left Northern Frontier, he asked someone to conduct a thorough investigation of Northern Frontier Prince Xuanshi. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was. Such a boy who was both civil and military and understood the sufferings of the people was his ideal successor.

"Yan'er, come forward and let your father take a good look at you."

Xuan Shi looked at his biological father, whose eyes were filled with tears and whose health was not good, and finally suppressed his awkwardness. He took a few steps forward and let his biological father take a closer look at him.

The father and son were talking in the hall.

Outside the palace, Xuan Yunian asked, "Do you want to go see the Queen Mother? She already knows you are still alive and is looking forward to you seeing her."

"I haven't seen my aunt for so many years. It's my fault as her niece that she's been worried about me for so long. Let's go. I should go see my aunt. I just hope she won't be angry with me all the time."

Qiao Li put on the veil and walked side by side with Xuan Yunian towards the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Cui sat in the hall with a drooping mouth. She had been planning to teach her niece a lesson by letting her fake her death for so many years without reporting the news. She was really rebellious.

But when the beautiful couple walked in and saluted her, Queen Mother Cui was no longer angry. She personally helped her niece up and observed her carefully. She found that her niece had a rosy complexion. Although she was already a mother of two children, her skin was fair and translucent, and her eyes were bright. She still looked like a girl of twenty years old. There was also a very attractive feeling, as if she had the breath of freedom.

"Seeing you like this, Auntie is relieved. You are so heartless. You haven't shown up for so many years, and you've broken my heart. Fortunately, your mother always thought you were alive, otherwise she would have to worry about me."

Qiao Li looked at her aunt guiltily. It was not that she didn't want to contact her, but her aunt was the queen mother of Daliang and Liang Sheng's adoptive mother. Liang Sheng's people were around her. Once she contacted her and exposed her whereabouts, her peaceful life would be in turmoil.

Actually, her mother wasn't completely clueless. Before she left the palace, she had met her mother and told her not to believe anything she heard about her. After settling down in the Northern Frontier, she had secretly contacted her mother through the Northern Frontier caravan. The two of them had some little secrets that only they knew. Based on the token, her mother had guessed a few things, but she kept them to herself, treating her daughter as if she were still in the palace.

Her mother probably won't believe the rumor that the queen in the palace is dead. Her heartbreak will surely arouse suspicion from outsiders.

"Aunt, is your leg injury healed? Is the cold completely gone? Next time you go out, be sure to bring a palace maid with you and don't take any risks."

Queen Mother Cui subconsciously touched her right leg and asked in surprise, "Hey, how did you know that I had caught a cold and had injured my leg?"
