Exiled to the Frontier, He Became the Empire’s Most Powerful Lord - Chapter 1

Zhou Lingfeng opened his eyes and saw a stunningly beautiful woman before him.

At this moment, she was only wearing a pale yellow bodice and panties, exuding endless allure.

“Where am I? Why is this beautiful woman calling me Crown Prince?”

Zhou Lingfeng immediately felt his blood churning in his abdomen, a sign that he was being poisoned!

What’s going on?

A surge of obsession, intertwined with a deluge of information, suddenly flooded his mind, giving him a splitting headache.

“Damn it, so that’s how it is! I’ve actually become the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the woman in front of me isn’t his concubine, but Chang Ning Shuang, the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

“This isn’t right!”

Zhou Lingfeng felt inexplicably strange.

“The Empress has plotted to assassinate the Emperor and commit treason. By order of His Majesty, she shall be immediately banished to the Cold Palace.”

At that moment, a eunuch’s soft, effeminate voice suddenly came from outside.

“Your Majesty the Empress? Isn’t that the mother of this body of mine?”

Zhou Lingfeng instantly regained his senses.

He was originally a modern person, but unexpectedly, after his consciousness was awakened, his soul was transported to this world!

Although he was resurrected and given a new life, he seemed to be trapped in a dead end.

“Chang Ningshuang, are you trying to harm us?”

Zhou Lingfeng’s memory became increasingly clear.

It turned out that the woman in front of him was Chang Ningshuang, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, who had always been flattering him.

Unfortunately, the Empress believed that the women of the Chang family were wicked and forcibly separated them.

A few days later, she and the Fifth Prince were enjoying romantic moments together, becoming an enviable couple.

At that moment, the woman didn’t hesitate to drug herself and then climb into his bed!

What a grand scheme! Even the daughter of the Left Prime Minister has gotten involved, putting me in a deadly predicament.

“Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhou Lingfeng wore a mocking smile.

“You’re poisoned, yet you still harbor such despicable thoughts!”

“If it weren’t for my status as the Crown Prince, I really would have thought I would have even looked at you!”

Chang Ningshuang’s smile instantly froze on her face.

At that moment, the medication took effect, and she was temporarily unable to exert any strength.

“Since we’re going to die anyway, might as well die a good death!”

Ignoring the other’s resistance, Zhou Lingfeng suddenly pressed down on him.

A battle brimming with springtime beauty has begun.

“one two three……”

Chang Ningshuang never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince, who was always cowardly and afraid of death, would be so presumptuous.

As the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, her pure and flawless body has never been defiled by any man.

An unspeakable shame caused her inner energy to reverse.

She bit her tongue and slapped Zhou Lingfeng away.

“This prince’s health is really too poor…”

Zhou Lingfeng fell to the ground with a painful shudder, and his consciousness instantly slipped into unconsciousness.

He vaguely sensed a soft, white foot stepping on his face, and it even had a faint fragrance.

“Zhou Lingfeng, I will definitely kill you!”

Chang Ningshuang almost gritted her teeth to powder, after all, she had gambled her chastity on this.

But then someone shouted, “No!”

Zhou Lingfeng, who had been poisoned, immediately fell into a coma.

…

In the spring of the thirty-fifth year of Emperor Yuanwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Empress poisoned the Emperor and was banished to the Cold Palace. She later committed suicide.

Later, Crown Prince Zhou Lingfeng, seeing a beautiful woman, became lustful and committed adultery in the palace. Due to his unbearable moral failings, he was stripped of his title as Crown Prince and imprisoned in Xian’an Palace.

The short imperial edict, issued to the world, sparked countless speculations!

However, at this time Emperor Yuanwu was in his prime, and no one dared to disobey his authority, so the news of the former empress and the deposed crown prince was gradually forgotten.

Three years later, Grand Marshal Tie Xuan led 300,000 Northern troops, claiming to be purging the court of corrupt officials, and captured seventeen cities in three days, shocking the entire country.

Tie Xuan was the Empress’s younger brother, and Zhou Lingfeng’s maternal uncle.

Emperor Yuanwu was furious and ordered Huo En, the Marquis of the Great Zhou, to lead an army to attack.

Tie Xuan and Huo En have always been known as the two pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is no definitive conclusion as to who is stronger or weaker.

Fortunately, these two military heroes remained deadlocked from autumn to early winter without causing any major disturbances.

Gradually, the tense nerves of the entire Zhou court and the public relaxed.

The capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Shengjing, remained a scene of bustling song and dance, displaying the most prosperous aspects of its golden age.

At this moment, a door of Xian’an Palace creaked open, and a pretty young palace maid of about fourteen years old pushed out a wheelchair.

A handsome young man sat in a wheelchair, his face pale and his expression indifferent.

“Mo Li, push me into the courtyard!”

Zhou Lingfeng gave the order in a calm tone.

His voice was cold, yet tinged with a hint of desolation.

“Your Highness, it’s so cold and it’s about to snow! Your health is still weak!”

The little palace maid pouted her rosy lips, refusing to listen.

“I stopped being the Crown Prince three years ago! Now I’m just a commoner, the Seventh Prince!”

Zhou Lingfeng said calmly.

“Her Majesty the Empress has been framed! This time, the Imperial Uncle has raised an army to seek justice for Her Majesty!”

Mo Li’s face showed anger.

Who would have thought that the once unknown Tie Xuan, a master strategist, would single-handedly fight against the Turks and be appointed Grand Marshal of the State?

Just as his achievements overshadowed the emperor, the palace discovered that the empress was plotting against him and that Crown Prince Zhou Lingfeng had drugged his sister-in-law.

Impeachment memorials from court officials poured in, and finally Emperor Yuanwu decreed that Zhou Lingfeng be removed from his position as crown prince and demoted to commoner.

If it weren’t for retaining his status as the Seventh Prince, Zhou Lingfeng would have been expelled from the palace long ago and left to fend for himself.

At this moment, Mo Li could not refuse Zhou Lingfeng’s request and pushed the wheelchair into the yard!

At that moment, a snowflake drifted down from the sky, and Zhou Lingfeng stretched out his hand, the snowflake landing steadily in his palm.

“Three years have already passed!”

Zhou Lingfeng sighed inwardly, marveling at the strangeness of his life.

The deadly poison in his body didn’t kill him immediately, but it stagnated in his knees.

“Everyone else who transmigrates gets a system and a cheat code that makes them invincible! But for me, it was a complete disaster from the start! Luckily, this damned heavens still gave me a different kind of talent!”

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Lingfeng’s lips.

Vague memories of what I saw and heard in my past life are now vivid in my mind.

He has a deep impression of important knowledge from the past five thousand years, especially military strategy and tactics.

On the other hand, he discovered that this body seemed to have quite good martial arts talent, but it had never practiced it.

After enduring three years of hardship, he unexpectedly found a family-inherited health preservation manual among his mother’s belongings.

After cultivating, his body contained extremely powerful true essence.

However, he has never actually fought a match to see just how strong he is!

The deadly poison in his knee had long been gradually neutralized by the true energy within his body.

“Is Xiao Hongzi off hunting down female assassins again?”

Zhou Lingfeng asked with some curiosity.

Only two people left by the Empress remained by his side: the palace maid Mo Li and the eunuch Hong Jiuming.

The rest of them had their entire families executed in the upheaval three years ago.

Over the past three years, various factions have believed that he is licentious and has peculiar fetishes.

Everyone tried their best to place many women there.

In order to lull the outside world into a false sense of security, Zhou Lingfeng never turned away anyone who came.

However, he eventually sent all these women to the eunuch Hong Jiuming.

“Eunuch Hong said he was going out to find out how the battle was going between the Emperor’s brother-in-law and the Marquis of Champion.”

Mo Li said with heartache.

Although Hong Jiuming was a third-rank grandmaster, he could still have a eunuch deal with a house full of women every night.

This really put him in a difficult position.

“Don’t worry, the Emperor’s brother-in-law and the Marquis of Champion won’t actually make a move!”

Zhou Lingfeng smiled.

Tie Xuan and Huo En were both exceptional individuals, and they naturally knew that once the two started fighting, the entire Great Zhou would be dragged into a protracted war!

Now, we’ll see what choice Emperor Yuanwu, who has reigned for thirty-eight years, will make!

Tie Xuan’s request was simple: he only hoped to bring Zhou Lingfeng to the northern frontier so that he could live out his remaining years under the protection of 300,000 northern troops.

But for the incredibly powerful Emperor Yuanwu, being threatened was simply intolerable.

“Damn it! Who does Tie Xuan think he is, daring to threaten His Majesty!”

“Even if he is the deposed crown prince, he cannot go to the northern frontier. Otherwise, if Tie Xuan wants to rebel, he will have a certain legitimacy!”

“Your Majesty, for the sake of the nation’s safety and well-being, I request that the Seventh Prince be permanently imprisoned!”

Inside the imperial study, several high-ranking officials were making veiled remarks.

Emperor Yuanwu, on the other hand, remained calm, as if nothing concerned him.

Emperor Yuanwu is only forty-five years old this year, and he ascended the throne at the age of seven!

Of all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, apart from the founding emperor, Emperor Yuanwu was the one who seemed to have an unfathomable and cunning mind.

“What does the Imperial Advisor think?”

Emperor Yuanwu suddenly turned his head to look at the beautiful woman in palace attire wearing a veil.

Princess Zhaoyang!

The Holy Maiden of the Great Zhou State Religion, and the younger sister personally recognized by Emperor Yuanwu!

She was the only woman in the Great Zhou Kingdom who was allowed to participate in politics!

“Your Majesty, even a tiger won’t eat its cubs! Although Zhou Lingfeng was once reckless and rude, he has already been punished and is now a cripple.”

“If he can persuade Tie Xuan to withdraw his troops and relinquish his position as Grand Marshal, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to let him leave the palace!”

Zhao Yang Ruyue actually pleaded for her.

“Hmm, that might not be a bad idea!”

Emperor Yuanwu fell into deep thought, and the important officials in the imperial study also had their eyes light up.

Without the Northern Army, Tie Xuan is a toothless tiger!

It would be better to just give him any desolate border town and let him fend for himself.

“Very well! Issue a decree summoning the Seventh Prince to the Imperial Study to see me!”

“If he can get Tie Xuan to withdraw his troops, I will make an exception and grant him a fiefdom, a woman, and let him live a carefree life as a prince!”

Emperor Yuanwu made a decision quickly.

However, once this decision was made, Chang Ning Shuang in the Prime Minister’s residence could not remain calm!

Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he intended to use her to control Zhou Lingfeng.

She must talk to Zhou Lingfeng as soon as possible; she’s willing to agree to any conditions!

The act between men and women is usually extremely wonderful, but the thought of being ridden on by that man back then makes me feel nauseous.

Moreover, the crown prince has been demoted, and his chances of ascending to the top are slim!

Now he’s a cripple, worse than a dog.
