Chapter 497 His petty schemes were in vain
"A-Li's master?" Consort Yu frowned; she didn't understand what she meant.
“I mean, the legendary Lady Xi,” Huo Qing said.
"Lady Xi is Ali's master? Is that true?" Consort Yu grabbed Huo Qing's wrist and asked urgently, "Really?"
She didn't know that yet.
However, the whereabouts of Madam Xi and her family were always unpredictable. If Chu Yueli hadn't told her herself, Huo Qing wouldn't have known either.
Huo Qing nodded and said, "That's right. Lady Xi is Ali's master. She not only taught Ali medicine, but also passed on her battlefield tactics and governance skills to Ali. Moreover, her husband, the once famous war god Xuan Wangye in Nanling, is also Ali's master and taught Ali martial arts."
"No wonder, no wonder!" Consort Yu suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh: "Back then, even Mo'er was forced to go to the Northern Frontier. I was wondering who in Prince Jin's army was so powerful."
"Back then, I heard it was a little girl, but no one believed it. They just thought Mo'er had made a mistake. I never expected that Ali would have such powerful masters."
Yu Fei thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "No, I have to go find Ali and ask where Lady Xi is now. Xue'er can't wait any longer. I'm afraid only Lady Xi can cure Xue'er in the whole world."
"Then you'll probably have made a wasted trip."
"Why?" Consort Yu asked uneasily. "Could it be that Lady Xi has already..."
"No, Senior Sister, don't panic. I just heard Ali say that their masters only return to Southern Xinjiang on New Year's Eve each year to reunite with Ali's maternal grandparents. Before that, they have no fixed abode, so even if you go to Southern Xinjiang, you won't be able to find them."
"Lunar New Year's eve……"
Consort Yu lowered her eyes.
There are less than two months left until Chinese New Year's Eve. According to their walking pace, it would take them half a month to get to southern Xinjiang from here.
However, Qin Muxue's body cannot withstand such exertion. If they want to travel comfortably with Muxue, it will take about a month.
So she should be leaving next month.
However, although I used to be constantly traveling around, I would at least make it back to spend New Year's Eve with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. If I couldn't even be there for New Year's Eve...
"Although the Emperor has allowed me to do many things, his people have been watching me all along. If I go to the Southern Frontier, I'm afraid the Emperor will have some thoughts about it."
Huo Qing didn't understand these words: "Why is the Emperor keeping an eye on you, Senior Sister? Does he still suspect your maternal clan?"
Earlier, Huo Qing knew that her senior sister's younger brother had been involved in the Thunderbolt Rebellion, but at that time she did not know that Yu Fei was her senior sister.
Consort Yu shook her head: "The bigger reason is that Mo'er has become the King of the Northern Frontier."
Huo Qing remained silent, while Consort Yu smiled and said, "The Southern and Northern Frontiers are not far apart. What if I use the excuse of going to the Southern Frontier but actually go to the Northern Frontier, and Mo'er also retreats to the Northern Frontier..."
Huo Qing's brow twitched: "Senior Sister, are you afraid that the Emperor will think that you are establishing your own power in the Northern Frontier?"
Consort Yu simply smiled and didn't say much this time.
Two years ago, Yunfei wanted to go to the northern frontier to help his fourth brother, but the emperor wouldn't allow it.
To the Emperor, she and Yunfei were two pawns to restrain Prince Mo. With them in the capital, at least Prince Mo would have some reservations after becoming the King of the Northern Frontier.
Although she didn't answer, Huo Qing understood this point.
Huo Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid even the Emperor didn't expect that not only did Prince Mo not rebel, but he also returned with only three thousand personal guards, so cleanly and efficiently! It's such a waste of his petty heart towards his own son!"
