For a moment, Diana felt the world spinning in front of her eyes, and the portrait almost fell from her hands.
The name of Emperor Wu, Liang Xiao?
After being shocked and disbelieving, Diana nervously rolled up the portrait, her heart already filled with turmoil!
"This painting has been sealed and anti-corrosion treated. It may be more than three hundred years old..."
"These classics are also the latest classics selected by my grandfather and his family before they fled."
"Oh my God, why do you look so much like Marquis Lanling? Does reincarnation really exist in this world? Or maybe he is the descendant of that Lord Wu..."
"However, the imperial power has always been supreme in this land. If the world knew about this, speculation and criticism would be inevitable..."
The more Diana thought about it, the more scared she became. Fortunately, she was the only one who saw the portrait.
If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked...
According to her understanding, the king will not allow anyone's reputation and civil status to be higher than his own.
Then Liang Xiao’s fate will be death...
"This empress is enlightened and loves him. What would she think if she saw this portrait..."
The messy thoughts made Diana burst into tears.
Influenced by her grandfather, she had great respect for Lord Wu.
And he may be the only surviving descendant of Lord Wu, and like his ancestors, he is working hard for this land that can give birth to heroes.
Maybe he couldn't recreate the power of his ancestors, but he could protect the soldiers and people of Zhou Dynasty in another way.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Weiss asked with concern.
Deanna just sobbed quietly.
"Grandpa Weiss, I'm afraid I have to give up my old ideas."
Weiss didn't know why, but seeing Diana's nervous look on her face and feeling that the situation might be a bit serious, she didn't mention it.
After all, Xuanwei is nearby, and these are the ancient books of the previous dynasty.
Diana immediately requested Xuanwei: "Please ensure that these classics are sealed for the time being and notify Marquis Lanling as soon as possible..."
After dozens of miles of journey, Xuanwei rushed to Yanzhou quickly.
Early the next morning, Liang Xiao received the news of the treasure and immediately gave instructions: "According to His Majesty's decree and Princess Diana's opinion, transport all the treasure back to Yanzhou first, and I will talk to her."
Xuanwei left urgently, and Liang Xiao sent additional troops to the treasure site to transport the treasure.
According to Xuanwei, there are millions of taels of gold and silver inside, and they are all large gold bricks.
That hill was once the Wenren family's suburban residence.
As a prominent family in the Wu Dynasty, the Wenren family had their own armed forces that could protect the house.
Later, when all the heroes came together and the situation became urgent, Wen Renshi had no time to melt the gold, so he could only hide it in an underground secret room, along with a large number of important books.
Including mountain and river topographic maps and resource exploration in various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Weiss was left at the treasure cache by Diana.
Diana took the lead and escorted them to Yanzhou in a Xuanwei carriage.
Diana in the carriage held the portrait tightly, feeling like she was returning home for the first time.
Of course, not back to his hometown in the empire, but back to Yanzhou, where he is.
Returning to her own mansion, the maids accompanying her from Yanzhou took care of Diana to take a bath.
In the wooden barrel, the petals were filled with fragrance. The maids behind looked at her white jade-like neck and secretly marveled.
What a perfect exotic beauty!
Only Diana was distracted.
"Should I tell him? What if this causes a rift between him and the king..."
"Hiding this from him makes me feel so tortured and guilty."
Diana couldn't help but blush as she thought about it.
Her grandfather admired that martial lord so much that he almost went crazy.
"If Lord Wu were still alive, how could the world fall apart? How could a mere Beihu dare to cross the Great Wall!"
"If Lord Wu is still alive and still maintains friendship with Rome, how dare Beihu collude with Tianri Kingdom!"
"Diana, after you go to the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you don't have to marry the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will give priority to marrying Lord Wu's descendants!"
…
Every time she heard her grandfather's thoughts, Diana couldn't help but be fascinated by that heroic land.
She knew very well that if her grandfather knew that Liang Xiao was a descendant of Lord Wu... he would definitely be determined to marry her to him, even if it was through coercion and inducement.
Of course, there is no need to intimidate or induce her. She wants to follow her grandfather's advice...
This time, Deanna looked inside herself.
She once had a good impression of Liang Xiao because of her inner utilitarianism. After that, she blamed herself and just respected him and looked up to him like a statue of a god.
But now, it doesn’t matter what kind of statue it is or not!
"I fell in love with him, not the Martial Lord. Otherwise, it would be a blasphemy to him and his ancestors..."
Diana's inner conviction was strong.
After coming to Yanzhou, she already had her own thoughts.
The painting disturbed her thoughts for a time.
She was always worried that when she saw Liang Xiao, she would be reminded of the transcendent former Emperor Wu.
Compared to the theory of reincarnation, she was more willing to believe that Liang Xiao was a descendant of Lord Wu.
When Diana got out of the bath and walked back to the room, she found Liang Xiao already sitting in the yard waiting.
Diana's heart was in a state of confusion, and her cheeks that had recovered had turned crimson again.
"Lan, Marquis Lanling..."
Liang Xiao stood up and smiled: "Congratulations!"
Diana carefully walked to sit opposite Liang Xiao and stared at him silently.
Liang Xiao was confused and asked urgently: "Princess Diana, are those classics well preserved?"
Diana saw that he looked anxious and asked about classics instead of gold and silver. She felt extremely fond of him and nodded: "They are all well preserved! Also, Marquis Lanling, please call me by my name. You don't have to be so reserved. We are friends." ,Is not it?"
Liang Xiao laughed dumbly and nodded.
Diana saw it in her eyes, and the more she liked it, the more she understood what the girl in green was thinking.
"He's so nice~"
"As your Majesty said, I hope that these classics can be returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then your Majesty will send people to review them and select a part suitable for passing on to the world, and my bookshop will be responsible for additional printing." Liang Xiao said in a sincere tone.
Diana said softly: "Marquis Lanling, aren't you going to return to the capital in a few days? I, the treasures, and the classics will also go back to the capital with you..."
Liang Xiao agreed immediately.
Diana was a little uneasy again: "Before that, please be sure to protect those classics. I also hope that Marquis Lanling will grant permission. Only I can read the classics first..."
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "The approval is your Majesty's business. As ministers, we dare not overstep it, and we have no right to spy on Wenren's treasure. You can rest assured."
Diana breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, feeling melancholy in her heart.
Sooner or later, I have to tell him the truth, I can't hide it.
At that time, how should he face his identity as a descendant of Emperor Wu?
When she saw Duan Yunyi working diligently and caring for the people, she naturally couldn't bear the thought of the monarch and his ministers being separated from each other.
"Marquis Lanling..."
