Some people ran first, and the rest of the people followed suit and stood up to bow and say goodbye to the Queen. After a while, the fragrance of various flowers in the palace became much weaker as their owners left.

"Chongyue, you've worked hard today. Let's go. It's been a while since your mother and you had a quiet meal together."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Xiang Huayue seemed to be unaffected by the farce in the courtyard just now. She stood up from her seat, walked to Liang Chongyue, took her hand, and walked towards the dining room.

The small kitchen had already served the dishes on the table. There was no need to consider her scumbag father's taste. The table was full of dishes that she and her mother liked.

When Liang Chongyue washed his hands and sat down, all the palace servants waiting in the dining room had left. Liang Chongyue stood up and served the dishes to his mother.

When Liang Chongyue picked up a piece of fish belly, he remembered his idiotic father and paused, crushing the tender fish meat. Liang Chongyue simply put down his chopsticks, resting his hands on his chin and looking at his mother:

"Mother, is the Hehuan Powder really that powerful? Can it even control people's minds?"

"Didn't Chongyue see it all? Your father has been like this for a long time."

Xiang Huayue nonchalantly picked up the fish belly that Chongyue loved to eat and put it into her bowl, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

Liang Chongyue frowned slightly and thought for a moment, but ultimately felt that this didn't make sense:

"Princess Lian has such a useful thing, why didn't she take it out earlier? If she uses it sooner, she might be able to reach a higher level."

Xiang Huayue looked up at her intelligent and beautiful daughter. Her eyes, which were the same as her father's, rarely showed such a puzzled look.

Xiang Huayue put down the chopsticks in her hand, poured a bowl of soup for Chongyue, handed it to her, and motioned her to continue eating.

After seeing Chongyue pick up the chopsticks and eat obediently, Xiang Huayue began to help her answer her questions.

"Empress Lian has never been content. If she wants to use the medicine, she needs the opportunity. Your father is surrounded by many experts. If no one helps her, she will be caught red-handed on the first day of using the medicine. Given your father's temper, he will probably banish her to the cold palace and leave her to fend for herself."

When Liang Chongyue heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his mother with a hint of surprise and admiration.

It turns out that none of the women who can win in the end in the harem are simple.

"Princess Lian is foolish but truly beautiful. She has no family support from her mother and has little foundation in the palace. With the Dai Viet delegation coming to the capital seeking aid recently, she's the perfect choice."

Liang Chongyue sat next to his mother and couldn't help but applaud her. She had such foresight, could endure things, planned calmly, and controlled everything in her own hands. However, in the eyes of outsiders, she was still the victim.

When the scumbag dad woke up and thought about these things, he didn't know how to feel guilty.

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your wisdom. I have learned a lot."

In the Yiku Palace, Liang Chongyue accompanied her mother for dinner. The room was warm and beautiful, with laughter emanating from time to time. Chunchan and Yunling had no idea what was going on. They just thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess had made the Queen happy, and they felt much more at ease.

There are secrets in the Yiku Palace. Although there was a big commotion, the Empress and the Princess didn't care at all. With Aunt Chunchan and Eunuch Li Jin keeping an eye on things, everyone in the palace was doing their job and there was no sign of panic.

However, the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital in Jingyang Palace were coming in and out in a hurry, and for a moment everyone's heart was in suspense.

Liang Chongyue was eating while listening to the real-time report from the system.

"Host, my scumbag father had just placed the person on the sedan chair when he hurried back to the Yangxin Palace because of an urgent report from the border. When Concubine Lian was sent back to Jingyang Palace, she was sweating from the pain. She also had to divide her attention to take care of Liang Junlin and Liang Chongling. When the imperial physician arrived, he didn't know who to see first."

The system's voice sounded somewhat gloating. It was a puppy at home, and its life was boring except for eating, sleeping, playing and making noises. When it had nothing to do, it liked to see what the host was looking at.

Just now, when he saw his scumbag father bringing people to Yiku Palace, he looked like he wanted to force his mother to forgive him, which made him so angry that he broke out in a sweat.

Fortunately, the host was powerful and prevented them from succeeding.

"Yun Ling knows how to act with restraint. Keep watching, and observe what Concubine Lian's childhood sweetheart, the eunuch, is doing when no one else is around."

Liang Chongyue recalled the anxious figure behind Lian Fei when she was taken away by her scumbag father. It looked like there was an unknown story behind her.

She just likes to dig up other people's little stories, and when she is unhappy, she will spread them around so that others will also be unhappy, and she will be happy.

"Host, rest assured. I promise to complete the task."

With the system's guarantee, Liang Chongyue hung up the phone and focused on accompanying his mother for dinner.

As for the urgent report from the border, as long as it was something sent to the palace, she would know it sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.

After the meal, Liang Chongyue accompanied his mother for a walk in the backyard to help digest the food. After helping his mother to sleep, Liang Chongyue got up and left the main hall of Yiku Palace.

Returning to her bedroom, Liang Chongyue took off her outer shirt, lay on the chaise longue, fanning herself lightly with a fan in her hand, still wondering what the content of the urgent border report might be.

Suddenly, she paused fanning herself, and she remembered something interesting.

Liang Chongyue waved at Yun Ling, motioning her to come over.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Liang Chongyue tapped her ear lightly with a fan, signaling her to put her ear close to him and listen.

Yun Ling did as she was told and put her ear close to the prince's instructions. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, as if she had never thought that she could act in this way.

"But Your Highness, this time when you enter the palace, besides An Jiu and An Shi who were previously recorded in the register, you also came with you this time. The guards with the best Qing Gong skills are still staying at the mansion.

This is a dangerous matter. My servant and Ping An's martial arts skills are not enough to guarantee that we will not be discovered by the patrolling guards in the palace. However, if we are exposed, His Highness and the Empress will be in danger."
