When Liang Chongyue heard Yun Ling's words, he paused holding the fan, turned around and gently tapped Yun Ling's forehead:

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. We'll know what we should know sooner or later."

Yun Ling saw that His Highness spoke calmly, not at all affected by the strange atmosphere in the palace. Having been with His Highness for many years, she always had a premonition that this matter might be related to His Highness.

However, all matters concerning His Highness are top secret and cannot be criticized.

"Yes, I understand, slave."

When Liang Chongyue brought his people to Yikun Palace, it seemed that the palace was completely unaffected by the outside world. Everyone was doing their job and occasionally talking in a low voice.

To be honest, this is the only pure land in the palace.

"This servant/servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness, the Princess. May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

Liang Chongyue walked straight into the hall with respectful greetings. It was just in time for dinner.

"Come quickly, Chongyue. Today we have your favorite fish. Mother had a premonition last night that you would come today, and sure enough, you have been recuperating in the mansion these past few days. Is your illness healed?"

Hearing the voices of the palace servants outside and knowing that his daughter had arrived, Xiang Huayue immediately stood up from the couch. Before he had taken a few steps, he saw Chongyue lifting the curtain and walking in.

His face was rosy and he didn't look like he had been sick for some days.

"Don't worry, mother. I am now well again. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to the palace to visit you today."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he took his mother's hand and walked to the table.

Before the two of them could chat for a few minutes, Aunt Chunxiang brought the ice cream.

"Just made it in the small kitchen. They said they've made some improvements. Want to try it?"

Liang Chongyue took the ice cream that his mother pushed in front of him and tasted it.

"It tastes sweeter than before, and has a stronger milky flavor. It seems the new chef sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs has good cooking skills. I like it."

A serving of ice cream wasn’t big, and Liang Chongyue finished it in just a few bites.

"If you like her, take her away. The Imperial Household Department will always send a new one. It's rare to find someone you like."

When Xiang Huayue faces Chongyue, she always wants to give her the best things in the world, because her daughter deserves the best.

"Okay, if Mother is willing, Chongyue will naturally agree."

After eating a portion of ice cream, the aftertaste was inevitably sweet. After all, my mother is in her forties and it is not good for her to eat too sweet food.

Liang Chongyue took two sips of tea to suppress the sweetness in his mouth. He glanced around his mother's palace and saw a somewhat unfamiliar face.

After Xiang Huayue came in from Chongyue, her eyes were always on her. When she looked at the palace maid, Chun Chan immediately understood with one glance and took all the palace maids serving her away.

Yunling and Ping'an also retreated.

There was no one in the hall, so Liang Chongyue naturally had the task of pouring tea and water.

Liang Chongyue stood up and poured tea for his mother first, then poured his own.

"The maid named Taozhi who used to serve in the palace, my mother, I saw today sweeping outside. The maid who replaced her seems a little dull. Is your mother still using her well?"

"What's so difficult about sweeping the hall? As long as you are loyal, even a fool can do it."

Listening to the hidden meaning in his mother's words, Liang Chongyue smiled knowingly, thinking that Taozhi must be his father's spy.

But it's a pity that he was sent by his scumbag father, and I can't just find a reason to kill him or drive him out. Otherwise, if one peach branch is missing, I don't know how many more flower branches and tree branches will be added, and I won't be able to check them all by then.

"The Queen Mother is kind and benevolent. Who in the palace wouldn't envy the chance to serve in her palace?"

Liang Chongyue sincerely felt that her mother was much kinder than her and her uncle.

She has half of her scumbag father's genes, so it's normal for her to be bad.

In comparison, my uncle is simply an outlier in the Xiang family bloodline. If this happened to my uncle, Taozhi looks beautiful and charming, like the peach blossoms blooming on the branch, and the largest brothel in the capital will have one more masked prostitute within three days.

In response to this comment, Xiang Huayue just smiled and said nothing more.

She hated traitors the most in her life. If she had a choice, Taozhi would definitely not have ended up like this.

Xiang Huayue seemed to have thought of something, and paused with the fan in her hand. Her gorgeous fox eyes looked at Chongyue tentatively:

"Chongyue, do you know what happened in the palace today?"

Liang Chongyue didn't hesitate for a moment, his brows furrowed in confusion, as if his curiosity had been piqued by his mother's words:

"I don't know, but what big thing happened in the palace?"

Liang Chongyue knew that her mother supported her, but what had happened in the past few days was no small matter. Her scumbag father seemed very angry, so there was no need to let her mother know that it had anything to do with her and worry about her anymore.

Hearing Chongyue's negative answer, Xiang Huayue felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you don't know. This matter has nothing to do with you. Your mother is relieved. Your father is a man of foresight and vision, and you can't compete with him at your young age. Your mother knows that you have ambitions in your heart, so you must not rush into anything. Your father is still in his prime, so everything must be planned slowly and carefully."

In Xiang Huayue's heart, from the moment she guessed Chongyue's thoughts and was willing to use the whole family's strength to support her, she was betting the entire Xiang family on it.

If this can be accomplished, the Xiang family will be able to stand at the top of the invincible in Daxia. As long as Daxia and the Xiang family exist, they will complement each other and be of the same blood.

Liang Chongyue listened to her mother's teachings with an obedient look on her face. It was true that her father was too suspicious. Once she was targeted by him, she could find fault with him even if it was no problem at all.

However, her scumbag father probably has no time to take care of her recently. The envoys from the two countries are still being detained at the post station, and the deposed queen has escaped with the intention of fleeing to Daqian. All these things piled up together, even her scumbag father will be busy for a while.

"Your Majesty Queen's teachings are very correct. I understand."

Looking at Chongyue's well-behaved appearance, Xiang Huayue touched Chongyue's head lovingly.

He took Chongyue into his arms and whispered softly:

"Your third brother's affair has caused a stir in the capital. You should have heard about it. The Dugu family escaped the night before yesterday under the protection of a group of men in black. They are now heading north, probably trying to escape to Daqian. Your father is worried about this matter. This morning, in front of the entire court, he removed your third brother's yellow belt. He has now been escorted to the Dugu family's old house and imprisoned there for life, unable to leave without being summoned."

Liang Chongyue snuggled in her mother's arms. Her mother told her the fate of Liang Chongzhen in a gentle voice as if she was telling a story.

Not hearing Chongyue's response, Xiang Huayue thought she was young and frightened, so he patted her back gently and said soothingly:

"Don't be afraid, Chongyue. Your mother knows that you had a good relationship with him in the past. But in this world, everyone has his own destiny. With such a maternal family and such a mother, your third brother's freedom has only been restricted in this life. Even if he has been cut with a yellow belt, he was still a prince in the past. He will not be treated harshly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. This is already a special favor from your father."
