The guards nearby silently admired the young princess.
Liang Siqi calmly said, "Er Ge, I'm fine."
Liang Yan reassured her, "That's good to hear."
Immediately after, Liang Yan sent someone to assess the injuries and walked straight toward Garrison.
The captain leading Garrison saw the people from Liang Kingdom approaching and quickly dismounted to greet them.
Liang Yan slightly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for arriving with your troops in time to assist us. Otherwise, we would have faced dire consequences today."
The Captain of the Guard bowed in return, "You flatter us, Liang Envoy. Protecting the peace of this region is our duty."
However, it was unclear where these assassins came from, daring to act so recklessly.
Liang Yan's expression grew serious. "These individuals are all death warriors; they silenced themselves before we could interrogate them."
After pondering for a moment, the captain replied, "Liang Envoy, although this area does have bandit troubles, these black-clad individuals are well-trained and cannot be compared to ordinary bandits. In my humble opinion, there must be a deeper motive behind this incident."
Liang Yan nodded in agreement. "I believe so as well. We still do not know their intentions. I wonder if the general could provide us with an escort."
The captain patted his chest in assurance. "Rest assured, your humble general will escort you safely to the capital of Liang Kingdom."
"Thank you very much, General."
At that moment, a soldier returned from assessing the injuries and reported to Liang Yan, who furrowed his brow upon hearing the news.
Taking a deep breath, he gazed into the distance. There could be no more rest today; they had to remain vigilant against potential assassins at night.
In Wu City, for the past few days, Lin Feng had been rising early each morning to attend court at the palace.
Finally, on this day in the court, Wu Emperor Lin Zhen solemnly issued an edict announcing the official restoration of Lin Feng's status as prince.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ji did not show any signs of dissatisfaction.
During the announcement, Wu Emperor Lin Zhen also glanced at Xia Ji.
In truth, Xia Ji felt that this matter had long passed; even if Lin Feng's status was restored, it was of little consequence. Moreover, after returning from the palace three years ago and undergoing thorough inquiries, she learned that her beloved daughter had indeed suffered substantial harm.
So he didn't cause any more trouble afterward. Otherwise, given Xia Ji's personality, he would have made a fuss without end. That's just how he was. However, despite this, the thought that the turmoil his daughter experienced might tarnish her reputation left him feeling deeply unsettled. After all, she was his only daughter. Now, because of that incident from the past, she still hadn't married. This only added to Xia Ji's worries.
Now that Xia Qingyu had turned seventeen, if she couldn't find a suitable husband soon, she would likely be seen as an old maid by everyone. After returning home from court, Xia Ji discussed the events of the day with his wife, including the news of Lin Feng's return and his restoration as a prince.
As fate would have it, while the couple was conversing, their discussion was overheard by Xia Qingyu, who was hiding nearby. In truth, the exceptionally clever Xia Qingyu had already known about Lin Feng's transgressions towards her on that day long ago. Both she and her father understood that once the emperor issued his decree, the matter was settled and could not be changed.
Madam Xia expressed her concerns: "With the Fourth Prince regaining his status, do you think old matters will resurface and affect our daughter's reputation?"
Xia Ji sighed and replied, "I don't think so. The Fourth Prince doesn't seem like a narrow-minded person."
Madam Xia listened intently, her mind racing with thoughts. She considered that perhaps this could be an opportunity to clarify what had happened years ago. "In that case," she suggested, "shouldn't we take this chance to clear things up and restore our daughter's reputation?"
Xia Ji frowned and said, "Let me think about it."
Madam Xia continued, "Since the Fourth Prince has returned, we might as well take the initiative to explain what happened back then so everyone knows our daughter is innocent."
After pondering for a moment, Xia Ji slowly replied, "No, that incident was too strange; it shouldn't be brought up again."
