The carriage was well soundproofed. Liang Chongyue picked up a bunch of grapes and put them into his mouth, quietly admiring Yun Ling's reaction after seeing the note.

The note was not big and contained little content. After reading it, Yun Ling was silent for a few seconds.

"Your Highness, are you unfamiliar with His Highness Prince Shu? Isn't it unnecessary to use such a crude deception on you?"

Yun Ling was a little hesitant when she said this, but when she thought of the contents on the note, she still spoke hesitantly.

Liang Chongyue leaned on the couch, smiled and let out a long sigh, took the note from Yun Ling's hand, and rolled it back to its original shape.

"When the secret guards caught the carrier pigeon last night, did anyone else see it?"

"The carrier pigeon flew into the mansion and was discovered by the secret guards, so no outsiders saw it."

Although Yun Ling didn't know what His Highness wanted, she still replied to His Highness according to the facts.

"That's it. The pigeon wasn't trained well. Since it can fly into this princess's house, it can naturally fly into the palace, or even fly to my second brother's house. They are all on the same street. It's just an animal. No one can say anything about it."

When Liang Chongyue thought about what was written on the note, she realized that her elder brother actually dared to use the marriage to incite her. Instead of collaborating with her in private and trying to borrow the power of the Xiang family behind her, he had a simple mind and she didn't need to do anything.

Liang Chongyue casually put the note into the secret compartment in the carriage. She would go to the palace to see her mother soon, so she decided to leave this dirty thing here.

Liang Chongyue sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, playing with the jade beads in her hands.

Her princess residence was close to the imperial palace, and soon the carriage stopped at the Meridian Gate.

As soon as Liang Chongyue got off the carriage, he ran into Qi Deyuan who was in a hurry to go out.

Qi Deyuan lowered his head and walked quickly, as if a ghost was chasing him from behind. The group of young eunuchs following him also followed his example. Those who didn't know what was going on thought that something extremely urgent had happened.

"Eunuch Qi."

Liang Chongyue shouted while standing in the carriage. Qi Deyuan was concentrating on his journey when he suddenly heard a clear female voice, a little hoarse, as if calling him. It was such a familiar voice.

Qi Deyuan stopped and looked up to see Her Royal Highness the Princess standing on the carriage.

"My goodness, why did Her Highness the Princess come to the palace at this time? What a coincidence."

Qi Deyuan didn't think twice and blurted out everything that was on his mind.

Liang Chongyue was not far from him, so she naturally heard what he said. However, looking at Qi Deyuan's regretful expression, Liang Chongyue was kind-hearted and pretended not to hear what he said, so that he wouldn't have to find something to make amends.

Qi Deyuan realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Fortunately, His Highness did not hear it, otherwise how would he explain this to His Highness.

Looking at his poor acting skills and exaggerated expression, Liang Chongyue was silent for a moment and decided to pretend that he didn't hear what he said.

Since Her Royal Highness the Princess was here, Qi Deyuan had to put aside even the most important things, adjust his facial expression, and trot to Her Royal Highness's carriage.

He took Yun Ling's place and reached out to help His Highness down.

"What's wrong with Eunuch Qi? Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

Qi Deyuan was hesitant. His Highness was intelligent and not easy to fool. If he made up some lies to deceive His Highness and let His Highness know, He would definitely hold a grudge against him.

Seeing Qi Deyuan's hesitant expression, Liang Chongyue guessed what had happened in the palace.

Qi Deyuan was out of the palace now. She calculated that he was either going to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to invite his uncle, or going to the outskirts of the capital to take his scumbag father's oral order to mobilize his personal soldiers to capture the deposed queen.

But no matter which one it is, if they set out from the capital now and arrive at the Fuyang Palace, the deposed queen would probably have already run away.

Liang Chongyue has always been reluctant to embarrass others:

"If Eunuch Qi is embarrassed, then forget it. Go and take care of your business first. This princess returned to the palace today only to visit the Queen Mother. So, we'll say goodbye now."

Qi Deyuan wiped the cold sweat from his head. Fortunately, he was lucky today. He met Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness has always been reasonable and never makes things difficult for others.

Qi Deyuan looked back and saw that the young eunuchs following behind him were five meters away from them and were sensible enough not to come over.

Qi Deyuan took a half step towards His Highness and reminded him in a low voice:

"His Majesty has been in a bad mood these past few days. Your Highness, if you go to visit His Majesty, you must be careful about everything."

Qi Deyuan almost said that if His Majesty started to curse, His Highness should bear with it. After all, he had become accustomed to hearing His Majesty curse these days.

The words mixed in the memorials of the civil officials and censors are not as shocking as a few curse words from Your Majesty.

Now, it would have been fine if the deposed queen had just escaped, but she actually headed all the way north, trying to escape to Daqian. If she succeeded in this, it would have been a shame for the entire Daxia.

Even if you dig up the Dugu family's ancestral tomb, drag out the corpse and whip it for a hundred years, it would not be enough to appease Your Majesty.

Liang Chongyue looked puzzled, but still gave Qi Deyuan a reassuring look. Then, he took Yun Ling and Ping An all the way to Yiku Palace.

Qi Deyuan looked at the princess's back as she left. Just from the noble look of her back, she looked seven points similar to the queen.

Both are Empresses, both are legitimate children of the royal family. Thinking about the fact that the Third Prince was ordered by His Majesty this morning to cut off his yellow belt, become a commoner, be included in the Dugu family tree, and be confined to the Dugu family's old house forever, and cannot leave unless summoned in this life.

The third prince has not yet been crowned king, nor has he married or had children. It seems that this is how his life will be.

From now on, Daxia will have one less third prince, and the deposed Queen Dugu has also been removed from the jade disc. Your Majesty, there will probably only be two queens in this life.

Qi Deyuan looked at the prince's back and sighed deeply. Things in this world are unpredictable, and there are still cruel mothers like the deposed queen. The third princess is still unmarried, and no one knows who she will marry in this life.

"Master, let's go. It will be too late if we are any later."

Little Li, who was raised by Qi Deyuan, saw that it was getting late and was afraid of delaying the emperor's decree, so he came up to remind Qi Deyuan.

Qi Deyuan rolled his eyes at him unhappily. It was already too late. The army stationed in Fuyang had already gone to catch up. They left the palace today only because His Majesty was angry and sent people to take Dugu's life.

Qi Deyuan waved the whisk in his hand, turned around and continued walking out of the Meridian Gate. The carriage was already waiting there.

As soon as Liang Chongyue turned into the palace from the Meridian Gate, he noticed that the atmosphere in the palace today was a little strange. The palace servants walking around did not even dare to talk and laugh as usual, and just kept walking with their heads down. It turned out that the huge imperial palace would one day fall into such silence.

It seems that the gifts she gave to her scumbag father these days have had a significant effect.

"Your Highness, the atmosphere in the palace is not right. What did Eunuch Qi mean by that just now?"

Yunling and Ping'an entered the palace at a very young age. Although His Majesty and the Empress were extremely strict in their rule, the palace had never been so quiet before. Just looking at it made people feel uneasy.
