Emperor Liang Cheng nodded repeatedly and beckoned to a spot in the Imperial Study. A person dressed in black robes floated down and said to him, "Arrange for ten people, each with ten more people, to go to Yun'an County from different directions. Once there, find Jia San and follow his instructions."
With a slight bow to Emperor Liang Cheng, the man drifted away. Marquis Yongning was amazed by the man's skill, but he didn't show it on his face. He knew that every emperor had a group of secret guards around him, and many of them were hidden in the streets. A seemingly inconspicuous vegetable vendor on the street might be a palace secret guard with superb martial arts skills.
Emperor Liang Cheng said to Marquis Yongning, "Now that the news has been spread, I dreamt of the Eldest Princess last night and wish to visit the Grand Madam at her residence. Please ask Marquis Yongning to go back and make preparations. I will pay my respects to her first thing tomorrow morning."
Marquis Yongning quickly accepted the decree. As for whether Emperor Liang Cheng would make a grand entrance or travel incognito, that was none of his concern. After taking his leave, he hurried home to prepare for the reception the next day.
The old lady naturally went to inform him first. When she heard that the current emperor was coming tomorrow, she asked with some curiosity, "What is he going to do? How can an emperor leave the palace so easily?"
Marquis Yongning explained, "His Majesty said that he dreamed of the Eldest Princess, so he came to see you."
After pondering for a long time, the old lady said to Marquis Yongning, "The Emperor was not even born yet, and the eldest princess passed away. What could he possibly dream about? Tell me the truth, has something happened?"
Marquis Yongning originally didn't want to say it, fearing that if he did, the old lady would get anxious and upset. She was old and not in good health, so she couldn't handle extreme emotions. But if he didn't say it, she would keep it on her mind, which wouldn't be good for her either. This time, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards Emperor Liang Cheng. Why did he have to choose such a lame excuse?
