The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

The smile on Liang Chongyue's face became even wider, her small white teeth almost dazzled Xiang Huayang's eyes, and her silver bell-like laughter showed that she was in a good mood at the moment.

Liang Chongyue stretched out her hands and took the pillow thrown by her uncle.

Seeing that his uncle was really angry, he lowered his head and coughed twice, restrained his smile, and sat down next to his uncle obediently.

"Uncle, please tell me quickly. Chongyue is almost dying of curiosity."

Liang Chongyue took the pillow and rearranged it for her uncle, her big eyes shining like stars.

Xiang Huayang could never stand her appearance, which was exactly the same as her mother's when she was a child.

Xiang Huayang rolled his eyes at her unhappily, reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat before continuing.

"Your good second brother had his servants send a big gift to your eldest brother yesterday."

Xiang Huayang deliberately kept the secret a secret. Liang Chongyue pondered for a moment, considering his elder brother's personality.

"woman?"

Liang Chongyue frowned unconsciously, and Xiang Huayang knew what was going on in her mind at a glance.

"No, your eldest brother's princess just died, and now the censors in the Censorate are watching him, waiting for him to make another mistake so that they can find an opportunity to complete their political achievements for this month. How could he have the guts to take a woman into his house now?"

Xiang Huayang spoke of the affairs of the court as if he were chatting casually, as if nothing could escape his eyes.

The windows of the No. 1 elegant room were open. Perhaps because it faced the river and was on a high floor, a breeze blew from time to time, ruffling the moon-shadow veil by the window.

Liang Chongyue looked at her uncle's fluttering clothes, what a beautiful scene it was like a god descending to earth. She really couldn't imagine what else her mediocre elder brother could be interested in besides women.

"Uncle, Chongyue doesn't understand, please explain in detail."

Liang Chongyue's delicate eyebrows met Xiang Huayang's, and the doubt in her eyes grew deeper and deeper.

The second brother has no real power. Compared with the eldest brother, his scumbag father has given him opportunities since he was a child. Born in an imperial family, the second brother is not inferior to the eldest brother in terms of knowledge or opinions.

Occasionally, when the scumbag father asked questions about government affairs, the second brother could also answer with thought-provoking insights.

It’s just that my second brother is too indifferent in front of others, as if nothing can attract him except books.

He didn't care about the political affairs deliberately thrown out by his scumbag father, and after his second brother was crowned king, he lived his own life outside the palace.

He would take leave from time to time to travel, and his carefree nature made him a famous idle prince.

It’s not that Liang Chongyue is short-sighted, but apart from women, she really can’t think of what good things her second brother can give her that will catch the eye of her eldest brother.

"Another copy of the urgent border report that was delivered to the palace a few days ago was secretly delivered to your eldest brother's residence by your second brother."

Border emergency?!

There was a barely perceptible coldness in Liang Chongyue's eyes. She had no idea when her second brother's hand had reached so far.

The borders of Daxia are jointly guarded by the Xiang family army and other armies. Now that my scumbag father has transferred all the generals of the Xiang family to the capital, I don’t know what the situation is at the border now.

"The one guarding the south is General Lu, a trusted confidant of the Emperor. He has always been very strict with his subordinates and often scrutinizes the troops. Uncle, do you think he delivered this urgent report, or did someone else?"

Liang Chongyue asked tentatively. His uncle had worked hard on his own over the years and had his own influence in various parts of the mainland.

There are many people and eyes at the border, making it the easiest place to plant spies, so naturally it is nothing.

Xiang Huayang supported his waist with his right hand and leaned sideways on the couch. His face was no longer confident, but instead had a rare hint of worry.

"I don't know. Judging by the time, these two urgent reports were sent not long apart. However, the border guards rely on trained carrier pigeons to transport these urgent reports to the capital. Nearly a hundred carrier pigeons took off at almost the same time. I wonder if he was lucky and accidentally intercepted them, or if the carrier pigeons were flying towards Prince Li's palace."

As Xiang Huayang finished speaking, the No. 1 private room fell into a long silence.

Xiang Huayang was thinking in his mind which of the two events was more likely to happen. Liang Chongyue slowly got up from the chair and walked to the window. The breeze blew her hair in front of her forehead.

Liang Chongyue's voice was soft, cool as water, clear and pleasant to the ear:

"Of course it was sent to his house on purpose. The person who released the carrier pigeon couldn't have written the contents of the urgent message directly on it. Otherwise, wouldn't anyone who accidentally intercepted the carrier pigeon be able to learn state secrets?"

Liang Chongyue recalled a cage of carrier pigeons he raised when he was a child, with white feathers and gray beaks.

If these smart little guys are well trained, they can find their way home even if they are thousands of miles away.

Now that I think about it, the batch of homing pigeons she raised should have been sent to the border along with the same batch of homing pigeons that were trained and raised.

I just don't know whether I am alive or dead now.

"That makes sense. Your second brother's insider position at the border must be quite high, otherwise he wouldn't have received this urgent report."

Liang Chongyue did not rush to respond to her uncle's words. The situation at the border was worse than she thought.

There is an unknown depth of swamp hidden beneath the calm surface. If you don’t find out in advance, you will be stuck in it once you step on it and won’t be able to get out even if you want to.

"He doesn't necessarily have to be very powerful, nor does he necessarily have to hold a high position. If it weren't for the urgent report released by General Lu, then someone who has been around General Lu for many years could have been involved."

Liang Chongyue's voice is very clear, like the melted snow water from the top of the snow-capped mountains in Tibet, clean and slightly cool.

"My uncle certainly knows General Lu better than I do. Even though I haven't met him, I know of his great deeds. He enjoys the trust of the Emperor and his rank among the military commanders is second only to my grandfather and my eldest uncle. With such a promising future, why would he conspire with my second brother?"

Liang Chongyue carefully calculated the pros and cons, and found that there were only a few disadvantages and no advantages. Unless General Lu had some evidence in his second brother's hands, this would be impossible.

"Even if your second brother has some evidence, from what I know about Lu Ming, he's definitely not the type to be coerced. If your second brother dared to threaten him, I'm afraid the grass on his grave would be taller than the grave itself."

Liang Chongyue raised her eyebrows. She had heard of the name of General Lu, the Jade-faced King of Hell, before, but she had forgotten it after not taking it to heart for a long time.

"Then spread this matter back to the border so that General Lu can also know. While I am far away at the border fighting for my country, someone in the capital is destroying his reputation and even trying to interfere in state affairs. I am really curious whether this General Lu who hates evil and hates evil as his uncle mentioned is really as the rumors say."

The main reason is that Liang Chongyue can't stand seeing someone hiding deeper than her, hiding behind others, wanting to reap the benefits without even considering whether she has the ability to do so.

The hint of sadness between Xiang Huayang's brows disappeared. He looked at Chongyue's thin figure with a look of respect in his eyes that was not what an elder should have. Even when he entered the palace and met His Majesty before, he had never been like this.

It is a blessing for the Xiang family to have Chongyue, and it is a blessing for the royal family to have Chongyue.
