Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"They're there!"

The Emperor of Northern Frontier turned his head and saw a pair of handsome men and beautiful women just getting off the carriage.

Even Li Shuai, who was always known for his aloofness, had come over to the two of them at some point, smiling warmly and looking attentively at them.

"What's going on with that kid Li Shuai?"

The Emperor of Northern Frontier was also a gossip lover, and the three of them didn't look like they had just met.

The Third Prince didn't know that Li Shuai and Leng Youran had some karma in their previous lives.

He briefly told the Emperor of Northern Frontier what happened along the way.

Of course, since there were many officials behind him at the city gate, he didn't say anything extra.

He only told the Emperor of Northern Frontier about the care that Li Tianze and Leng Youran had given them along the way.

Although the Emperor of Northern Frontier was in the imperial city, General Li often sent news to the capital.

He knew more or less what the Third Prince had said. Although not in such detail, he knew the general idea.

But he still felt that Li Shuai was hiding something...

But, forget it, everyone has secrets, especially a capable person like Li Shuai.

It's possible that he and the Lord of the Northern City have a mutual understanding.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Frontier..." Li Tianze and Leng Youran had already come close to the Emperor of Northern Frontier.

The two of them just clasped their fists slightly without even bending their bodies.

The Emperor of Northern Frontier had no complaints about this.

Although they are from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, their current identities are extraordinary.

What's more, they took care of the Third Prince all the way.

He can be considered the benefactor of their royal family.

Giving him a slight bow in public is already a sign of respect for him.

The Northern Frontier Emperor imitated their example and bowed to the two of them. "You two have come from afar. I have set up a banquet in the palace. I hope you will do me the honor."

Li Tianze smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."

A group of people once again boarded the imperial carriage prepared by the Emperor of Northern Frontier. The Third Prince and Li Shuai naturally followed the Emperor of Northern Frontier.

In the carriage, Li Shuai recounted everything that had happened along the way.

His narration was particularly thorough, even the matters concerning the Sixth Prince, which the Third Prince had deliberately ignored, were explained clearly by him.

"Oh, Old Six is ​​indeed still harboring evil intentions. Father shouldn't have left him behind back then."

The Northern Frontier Emperor's voice was neither loud nor soft, but just loud enough for the Third Prince and General Li to hear.

Both of them had confused faces.

"Forget it, I'll explain it to you later. City Lord Leng and the others must be taken care of this time. We can discuss the rest later."

The Emperor of Northern Frontier did not show any imperial airs when talking about Leng Youran and Li Tianze.

More like a normal elder.

It’s not that he doesn’t act like an emperor, but the other person is his younger brother’s savior.

And Li Shuai...

If they hadn't taken action, it wouldn't be their people who were caught, but their corpses.

"Xiao Shuai, your mother is also in the palace."

Li Shuai looked at the Emperor of Northern Frontier suspiciously.

"Well, your mother learned that you were coming back, so she sent a letter to the palace, and is now waiting in the Queen's Palace."

Li Shuai is familiar with the situation in the Li Mansion.

Although the Li family has made great contributions to the Northern Frontier, the family has a complex population and has not yet split up. The elders, parents, uncles and second uncles all live together.

Speaking of it, the affairs of the Li Mansion are not much different from those of the imperial harem.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the Queen, for taking care of my mother."

The Northern Frontier Emperor waved his hand. "No need. I watched you grow up. Your mother and the Queen are also close friends. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't guarded Linnan for the Northern Frontier... Forget it, let's not talk about this. When you leave this time, take your mother with you!"

Li Shuai really didn't expect that there would be such a surprise waiting for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

***

The sound of stringed instruments rang out, and dancers came in one after another.

Li Tianze and Leng Youran were arranged to sit below the Emperor of Northern Frontier, with the Third Prince sitting opposite them. Li Shuai was also arranged to sit next to them because of his own merits and the appreciation of the Emperor of Northern Frontier.

Li Shuai was afraid that they would be bored, so he whispered a few words in their ears from time to time.

"That must be the legendary Sixth Prince, right?" Leng Youran's gaze lingered for a moment on a man in his thirties who was sitting diagonally opposite them.

"Well, it's him."

Leng Youran carefully used his mental power to examine the Sixth Prince from head to toe.

Not to mention that he does look somewhat similar to Chu Weian.

Maybe it’s because Qin Zhaohai’s genes are too strong, they both have the same high forehead.

The Sixth Prince is different from the other princes. The other princes have some similarities, some are eyes and some are noses, but the Sixth Prince stands out among them.

"They look so different, haven't you ever doubted it?"

Li Shuai shook his head slightly, his eyes casually glancing at the emperor's location, "We don't know..."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze were so smart that they quickly understood what he meant.

It’s just that they don’t know, but the person sitting in the upper seat may not know.

"Another point, the Sixth Prince looks very similar to his mother. Perhaps this is why he hasn't been exposed!"

The two nodded in understanding.

"Come, Lord of North City, Lady Lord, this glass is for you, Northern Frontier welcomes you..." The Emperor of Northern Frontier, who was at the top, picked up the wine bowl on the table and said to Leng Youran and Li Tianze below.

The sound of stringed instruments also stopped at this time, and the dancers retreated.

All the officials in the hall fell silent and picked up the wine glasses on the table.

Li Shuai was afraid that they didn't understand the emperor's intention, so he secretly gave them a look.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze smiled at each other.

It seems that the emperor deliberately summoned the Lord of Li Tianze City.

The purpose was to prevent those in the court from knowing the true situation in North City.

What's more, for ordinary people, men are indeed more capable than women.

If the Northern Frontier royal family or other officials knew that Beicheng was controlled by a woman, there would probably be many more people with evil intentions!

The two of them gladly accepted his "kindness" and raised their wine glasses and "tea cups" and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality."

"Respectfully, Lord of North City..."

"Respectfully, Lord of North City..."

Following the Northern Frontier Emperor's proactive courtesy, the ministers quickly followed suit.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp, and the Sixth Prince took the opportunity to secretly look at Li Tianze.

He knew who Li Tianze was and that he had been exiled to North City.

But I didn't expect that he was actually the Lord of North City.

It seems that we need to tell him about this matter as soon as possible, as they all know Li Tianze's abilities.

He is now in the northern border, which is a good opportunity...

Thinking of this, a subtle evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at the two of them was filled with a sense of determination.

Leng Youran saw all his expressions and smiled as well.
