Liang Chongyue anticipated Yun Ling's words, fanning her face with a fan, revealing only a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes.

"No problem, I will handle this matter myself, you just need to bring the things here."

Yun Ling weighed the danger level of the matter in her mind, and it seemed that compared with His Highness's military power, it was not a big deal.

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

After Yun Ling bowed and left, Liang Chongyue adjusted her lying position, lying flat on the chaise longue, looking up at the ceiling.

Recalling the look on my scumbag dad's face after he was controlled by the Hehuan Powder, he was completely different from his usual calm, self-controlled and strategic self.

The situation at the border is unclear now, and Daqian has joined forces with several small countries to eye Daxia. It is not known whether it is good or bad to use Concubine Lian to control the scumbag father at this time.

Perhaps it was because he had basked in the sun in the backyard for a while after lunch, Liang Chongyue fell asleep while thinking on the couch. When he opened his eyes again, candles were already lit in the hall.

"What time is it?"

Yun Ling was adjusting the spices burning in the furnace for His Highness. Seeing that His Highness had woken up, she immediately put down what she was holding and walked over to serve him.

"Your Highness, it's already 1:15 PM, and it's getting dark outside. It's almost time for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to leave the palace."

Liang Chongyue stood up with Yun Ling's help, stretched his body lightly, and quickly woke himself up from his sleepy state.

"Change clothes for this princess. Third brother has had a very unfortunate life. If I don't see him off today, I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Having said that, there was no trace of reluctance in Liang Chongyue's eyes. All this was part of her plan.

Creators always love to revisit old places and appreciate how their works have developed.

Liang Chongyue changed her dress, put on a nightgown underneath, and then put on a loose and exquisite coat on the outside.

"Let's go. We can just send Third Brother off and still make it back in time to have dinner with Mother."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Yun Ling tied the belt around His Highness's waist, she took out the note sent from Prince Shu's Mansion from her sleeve and handed it to His Highness.

Liang Chongyue had gotten up late tonight, and changing clothes took some time. Anyway, while she was in the palace, someone was reporting the situation to her scumbag father and mother all the time, so she did not go to say goodbye to her mother, but left with Yunling.

In the main hall of Yikun Palace, Xiang Huayue was reading a book. The door of the hall was opened from the outside, and Li Jin walked in with his body hunched:

"Your Highness, the princess has gone out. Judging from the direction she's heading, she should be heading to Zhaoyang Palace."

Hearing this, Xiang Huayue didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to flip through the book in his hand:

"I'm going to see Liang Chongzhen off. I know Chongyue is a loyal and righteous child. If I withdraw everyone from the princess's side and send someone to keep an eye on her, she won't be happy. Your Majesty, there's no need to keep a close eye on her. Just be aware of everything."

"Yes, I understand. I will tell them to withdraw now."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he turned and left the hall.

Ever since the Taozhi incident, Xiang Huayue has reduced the number of palace maids serving in the palace, and Chunchan and Chunxiang are often by her side.

Apart from the two of them, there was also Li Jin. In this palace, she no longer dared to trust anyone, even if it was her father who came in.

Xiang Huayue lowered her head to read, but she couldn't concentrate. Helplessly, she didn't want to force herself, so she closed the book, put it aside, and pinched her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Chunxiang quickly walked to the Empress and gave her a massage to relieve her fatigue. Chunchan changed the tea for the Empress.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Her Highness knows how to handle things properly. Once this is over, Your Majesty can rest easy."

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't you know the Princess's abilities? She is truly a one-of-a-kind gifted person. Please rest assured, Her Highness can handle everything."

Xiang Huayue closed her eyes, leaned back on the couch and dozed off, letting Chunxiang massage her to relax her.

Listening to what they said, the annoyance in my heart dissipated a lot.

"If I could choose, I would rather Chongyue live a safe and smooth life, even if it means a life of mediocrity, than have her be involved in this."

After Xiang Huayue said this, she completely shut up and said no more.

The atmosphere in the hall fell into a stagnation. Chunchan and Chunxiang looked at each other, and there was heartache in their eyes.

They have been with the Empress for many years and are elderly people now, so they have a clear understanding of the changes in the situation in the palace.

The Empress and His Highness trusted them, and this also made them understand the dangers lurking in the court.

The kindness between the previous emperor and the Xiang family had long been exhausted between generations of throne changes. The royal family no longer remembered the Xiang family. Daxia had been peaceful for too long, and the people no longer needed the Xiang family.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the Xiang family held a large number of troops, and each of them was brave and good at fighting. If one wanted to establish authority, the Xiang family was the best choice. Not only could it resolve the major worry, but it could also take back the military power and intimidate others.

But there is no such thing as a woman in power in this world. The Queen and His Highness have been calculating and scheming all along, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything. They have no choice.

When the times are peaceful and the world is at peace, the victory won by the Xiang family with their blood and lives is their strongest backing. When the storm is about to come and crises are everywhere, it is time for them to repay the Xiang family.

If we win this time, the Xiang family will be your maternal family from now on, and we will no longer have to worry about being feared by the emperor and being in danger of losing our position at any time.

Losing would only bring the Xiang family's demise forward. The Xiang family had never retreated without a fight. Even if there was only one person left, facing this unclear battlefield, they would choose to fight to the death.

When Liang Chongyue arrived at Zhaoyang Palace in a sedan chair, an inconspicuous carriage had already stopped outside the gate.

"Your Highness, Princess, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

Liang Chongyue's gaze followed the voice and looked at the guards guarding the carriage. All of them had expressionless faces. Even when they saluted her, they only moved their lips. The muscles on their faces seemed to be welded together, and no other expression could be seen.

"Wake up! This princess is here to see you off today. When are you leaving?"

As Liang Chongyue finished speaking, a tall and straight man walked towards her from the front of the carriage:

"In reply to Your Highness, the Princess, His Majesty did not directly request the Third Prince to leave the palace at a specific time. He will leave only after he has packed his things, and no later than midnight tonight."

There is still a last bit of sunset glow in the sky, and the light is not yet so bright that people cannot be seen clearly.

Liang Chongyue's eyes swept over the guard. He was tall and handsome. She had never seen this man in the palace before.

There are also these expressionless guards. When working in the palace, the first thing they have to do is learn to be flexible.

She looked carefully at this team of cold-eyed and sullen guards, but she had never seen a single one of them before.

Liang Chongyue's gaze fell on the guard's wrist. The obvious calluses showed that he had practiced martial arts for many years. He must be a master hidden beside his scumbag father.

So many people were sent to escort Liang Chongzhen. Were they afraid that he would run away and die, or were they afraid that he would not run away and would not die?
