The woman chuckled softly, reached out and removed the veil from her face, revealing a clear and stunningly beautiful face that bore a striking resemblance to Di Beizun.
This woman was none other than Di Beizun's beloved elder sister, Di Yuanyun. She was the first child of Emperor Di Ye and Empress Bei Chenfeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the noble eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was usually elusive and rarely seen, and the people of the Great Zhou had almost forgotten that the Great Zhou Dynasty actually had such an eldest princess.
"You do have some conscience. I thought you were still on the border of Shu. I didn't expect you to be so quick. You took over Shu in no time. Didn't Father and Mother arrange the time for your coronation? Why did you come here? I specially rushed back from the border, worried that I would miss your coronation ceremony. I didn't expect you to suddenly change your mind."
Di Beizun closed the book in his hand, pondered for a moment, and a hint of irritation appeared in his deep eyes, but his expression remained calm as still water. "Even if it is not the coronation ceremony, you should still go back. Your mother misses you very much."
Yuan Yun chuckled softly, a glint of light in her eyes. "I was just rushing back before your ascension to the throne, but an unexpected accident happened. I was chased by those experts from Luoyan Tower. If I hadn't run into a highly skilled martial artist, I'm afraid I would have been doomed."
"I will avenge you if you die."
After saying this, Di Beizun put down the book in his hand and sat down opposite Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes, glanced at him, and complained, "I'm badly injured, don't you even care? Besides, I went to the Liao Dynasty for you."
"Or would you rather take the entire Zhou dynasty?"
Di Beizun seemed tired of Yuan Yun's complaints, so he replied with this, and Yuan Yun immediately shook her head, "The ancestral foundation was originally passed down to sons, not daughters. You bear the heavy responsibility of leading the people of our Great Zhou to create a glorious and prosperous era, so it is only right for your elder sister to help you. But to be honest, I discovered something very strange on the northwestern border of Dayong this time. Would you like to hear about it?"
As Yuan Yun spoke, she narrowed her eyes enticingly at Di Beizun.
Emperor Beizun remained calm and composed, not even glancing at Yuan Yun, and poured tea.
Seeing this, Yuan Yun chuckled softly and continued, "I discovered that the beautiful girl who saved me is wearing the exact same sword as the Moon Soul that your mother gave to your future crown princess. Isn't that strange?"
The Crown Prince of the Northern Empire's eyes flashed, and a moment of surprise crossed his indifferent and aloof face. His pale lips moved slightly as if he wanted to ask something, but he held back and remained silent for a moment. His expression returned to normal in an instant, and he asked calmly, "There has been no progress in the matter between the Great Liao and the Great Yong on the northwestern border. We can only break through from within the Great Liao. Your men should get to work."
"Don't worry, this kind of divisive tactic is what we're best at. The war between Liao and Yong must not be stopped, otherwise the ambitious Tiansheng will take advantage of the situation, I know that. Hasn't Liao sent troops to be stationed in Tata City again? Moreover, the border between Yong and Hangu Pass is not peaceful right now. Liao and Yong are like oil and water. Once war breaks out, Tiansheng will definitely not stand idly by. Didn't the two dynasties just form a marriage alliance? We just need to watch from the sidelines."
Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Now that the entire Dongzhou has fallen into the hands of our Great Zhou, you should take a rest. However, this drama in the northwest of Dayong was quite spectacular. Everyone says that the Crown Prince of Liao, Xifeng Lie, is highly skilled in martial arts, and I have witnessed it firsthand. There are not many people who can break through layers of encirclement under his chilling palm. However, I did not expect that the currently prominent and fierce general of Dayong, Sikong Jin, is actually a young girl! If this news gets out, the entire Dayong will be in chaos, and the Sikong Mansion and the Dayong royal family will probably... be a great boon to our Great Zhou!"
Upon hearing this, Di Beizun's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists. After a moment, he suddenly stood up, turned around and looked out the window. There was a complex and deep light in his dark eyes. Finally, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "This prince does not need to step on the corpse of a weak woman to achieve his so-called eternal imperial career."
"Hmph, you talk as if you have a conscience and know how to cherish women. You've trampled on quite a few women over the years. Do you really distinguish between men and women in your eyes?"
Yuan Yun sneered, staring intently at Di Beizun's aloof and cold back. A smile of interest played on her lips as she chuckled, "How did she become a woman in your eyes? The things she did on the northwestern border of Dayong are not things a woman could do."
Di Beizun suddenly turned his head, his eyes flickering. After thinking for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask, "How is she now?"
"What do you mean, 'how are you'? Who's doing well?"
Yuan Yun stared meaningfully at Di Beizun and smiled.
Di Beizun's face darkened. He glanced coldly at Yuan Yun, then looked away and gazed at the high sky and flowing clouds outside the window without saying a word.
Seeing this, Yuan Yun put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "When I rescued her, she was seriously injured. After she helped me defeat those experts from Luoyanlou, the cold poison in her body had not been cured. You must have heard about the Tata City-Yisu Fengyuting incident. It must not have been easy for her to escape from such a situation. To this day, her whereabouts are still unknown and her life or death is unknown."
Hearing this, the dark light in Di Beizun's eyes suddenly turned somewhat somber. He lowered his head and leaned against the window frame in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Aren't you known as the 'Heavenly Questioner of the Jianghu'? Can't you even find out her whereabouts?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yun suddenly chuckled softly, "Are you asking me to help you find her? I've never seen you take anyone so seriously before, especially a woman like that. You gave Yue Po to her, didn't you?"
Di Beizun was suddenly startled, his knuckles tapping the window frame stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered, pursed his lips, and did not respond.
"You knew she was a woman all along, didn't you? I also heard about the incident in the capital of Dayong. You ordered General Su to go to the capital of Dayong with a grand procession, looking so imposing, was it all for her sake?"
Yuan Yun said with amusement.
Upon hearing this, Di Beizun's expression changed several times, revealing an indescribable complexity and irritation. After thinking for a while, he replied, "You don't understand the situation at the time, so don't make wild guesses. She... she is not simple."
