Chapter 405: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Fifty-Five)
After the morning court session, Liang Sheng summoned the secret guards guarding Caiwei Palace. When the secret guards recounted what happened in Caiwei Palace, even their tone and voice were exactly the same as those of the original owners.
These conversations made Emperor Liang's expression somewhat solemn.
After a long time, he waved away the secret guards.
"These Ji sisters are not good people. Do they know the future? It's a pity that they died so young. As for Ji Wei, she is a bit weird. It seems that her luck is too good. She is really blessed by heaven."
Liang Sheng's fingers tapped the desk regularly, and he would subconsciously tap the table when he was deep in thought.
Liang Sheng understood that they might have learned some fragments about the future by chance, but was that so-called knowledge of the future really reliable?
Everything is changing all the time, and relying on false memories is always too risky.
But it is not without use. It can predict some natural disasters, such as where earthquakes will occur and where flash floods will occur. This can save many lives and prevent people from being displaced.
But it seems that most of the foresight that Ji Wei has is about the affairs of the palace, and more importantly, about Ji Mingyue. How much does she know about the general situation of the world, natural disasters and man-made disasters?
Liang Sheng was right to think so. The news Ji Wei knew after her death in her previous life was very outdated, and she didn't care about the lives of the people. She knew nothing about earthquakes, floods, droughts, and locust plagues. Even if she heard the young palace maids chatting about them, she wouldn't take it to heart.
As for the general situation of various countries, she knew about it, but in her original memory, the old emperor was still in power in Qi at that time. But in this life, the old emperor had died long ago, and the person who came to power was an unknown little prince. The situation had changed, so how reliable was her memory?
If we prepare according to her prediction, we may miss the big picture.
Thinking of the conversation between Ji Wei and Ji Mingyue, it seems that in their respective lives, each other's descendants ascended the throne and became emperor, with a Queen Mother surnamed Ji directing the country from behind. Wouldn't it be that the foundation of his Liang Kingdom would eventually belong to the Ji family?
More importantly, Liang Sheng was worried that in that world, the successor he chose was a choice made out of helplessness, or it was not a choice he made at all. Since ancient times, there have been many royal family members who killed their fathers and brothers.
Neither he nor Li'er was likely the winner. Perhaps Li'er had already...
And was Li'er's death in that life caused solely by Ji Wei, or was it related to him?
No, he shouldn't dwell on things that haven't happened. He should make the most of the present.
However, Li'er didn't want to stay in the palace. She wanted to stay in the mountains for two years before coming back. She didn't even want to give birth in the palace. He couldn't persuade Li'er who was determined to leave, but he was reluctant to let Li'er leave temporarily.
Finally, Liang Sheng slowly said four words:
"Man can conquer heaven!"
After the rain, the sky cleared up. Liang Sheng pushed open the door and looked at the sun on the palace walls. It was the rising hope, brilliant and splendid. The road ahead was long, and he would swing his sword to cut off the thorns blocking the way and lead the Liang Kingdom to the pinnacle that attracted worldwide attention.
……
Ever since Ji Shilan returned the Phoenix Seal to the Empress Dowager, the main gate of Kunning Palace has often been closed in recent months.
In a remote area to the west of Kunning Palace, there is a newly built small Buddhist temple.
Ji Shilan set it up because she felt the same way as her mother. Her mother went to the temple to accompany the ancient Buddha, and she might never see her mother again.
The rest of her life was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples, so her expression hardly changed.
This morning, Ji Shilan was rarely happy when she learned that Ji Mingyue had died.
"I am now trapped in this small Buddhist temple because of the Ji sisters. It is better for me to die, so as not to help the evil and harm others. The false birthright of the phoenix was my mother's fault, but it was also their greed that made them want to take away her life. What a pity, they are also sisters, so why is that person fine? She deserves to die too! The person who caused me to be unable to have children in this life deserves to die!"
"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. Walls have ears."
The old nanny looked at the queen with pity. How could her daughter end up like this?
