"The noise of fighting attracted the guards who had followed them from the Fuyang Palace. Seeing the situation was dire, I pretended to have taken something important from the deposed empress and hid it in my chest. Then I beheaded her with a single blow. After ensuring her death, I took advantage of the chaos and escaped with the Jade Guards."

"While fleeing, I looked back and saw that all the palace guards had been tragically killed by that army. The deposed queen's body must have also fallen into their hands... My eyesight was too poor to tell whose totems they wore... "

Chi Rong didn't say much about what happened next, as she had guessed it.

"They raise private soldiers in the deep mountains and old forests. Not to mention the markings on their bodies, they won't even let you see anything related to their masters. It's okay, as long as the deposed queen is dead. The dead can't defend themselves.

Over the years, I've asked you to privately train a lot of people in the Jade Guard. Those who are capable should be brought up for use. This journey is difficult and dangerous. After you recover from your injuries, I'll take charge and treat their families well."

Apart from this, Liang Chongyue could not do more. However, as to who the army in the deep mountains and old forests belonged to, she still had to investigate thoroughly. Her people could not die in vain.

"There's still some time until the morning hour, so I need to rest for a while. You can just relax on the recliner for a while and don't worry about the details."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue put down his wine glass, stood up and returned to the inner room.

Although she said she was resting, Liang Chongyue was actually not sleepy at all. She was on guard day and night, secretly sending so many people to be stationed everywhere, but she didn't know that there was an unknown army in Fuyang.

However, the scale should not be large, otherwise no matter how powerful Chi Rong is, he will be outnumbered and will not be able to come back alive.

Liang Chongyue lay on the bed with her eyes wide open, looking at the ceiling, countless faces flashing through her mind.

Liang Chongyue only lay in bed for half an hour before getting up. Chi Rong didn't get on the recliner after all. He found an empty corner and leaned against it to take a nap for a while.

After all, this mission was dangerous. Liang Chongyue was barefoot and he didn't wake up even when he walked up to him.

Liang Chongyue reached out and took his temperature. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever. As long as his injuries healed, he should be fine.

Liang Chongyue got up and left. Chi Rong didn't realize until he was fully awake that the prince he had been thinking about had come to ask about his condition when he was injured and asleep.

After putting on his shoes, Liang Chongyue went downstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the fragrance of grass after the rain. The sun had risen early.

It looks like the rain stopped last night and today will be a nice day.

"Your Highness, would you like to wash up?"

Iris was waiting outside early. It happened that Sister Yunling had been guarding His Highness all night. She had just taken over her shift when she saw His Highness getting up.

"Well, breakfast today will be served after the Third Princess wakes up. There's no need to rush to the kitchen to tell Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang to come see this princess."

"Yes, slave, go and prepare now."

Looking at Iris's receding figure, Liang Chongyue turned around and went back to the hall. Chi Rong was still on the second floor. It was rare to see him sleeping so soundly, so she decided not to go upstairs.

Liang Chongyue came to the desk, picked up a brush at random to tie up her hair, and took out the last book that she had not finished studying from the locked cabinet beside her.

Her progress is still too slow. Everyone has secrets and hidden forces.

In the past, she thought that with such a powerful golden finger of the system, as long as she made a little plan and relied on the power of her grandfather to ascend to the top, it would be difficult but achievable.

I didn't think too much about it. It's true that there is always someone better than you in this world.

The man who raised private soldiers in the mountains around the Fuyang Palace was extremely courageous. This was enough to show that he had extensive influence and was by no means a simple person. He was a formidable opponent.

Liang Chongyue forced himself to calm down and finish learning the last half of the book. When Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang arrived, Iris had helped His Highness wash up by herself.

Liang Chongyue was wearing no makeup, a plain white dress, and was staring intently at the book in her hand:

"Give us a detailed report of what happened last night."

Liang Chongyue didn't even raise his head, multitasking, the brush in his hand flying, the words he wrote were as powerful and majestic as a dragon crossing the river, while he also had to devote some energy to listening to their reports.

"Your Highness, only two of our men were seriously injured. They were sent to the provincial hospital last night. They were told that they had no vital injuries and would be fine after some rest."

Liang Chongyue finished the last stroke before raising his head:

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although my palace is large, it won't hurt to have two guards missing for a short period of time. I'll give them three months' leave, and they'll receive their monthly salary and the rewards I promised them."

After saying this, Liang Chongyue seemed to remember something:

"As for the other injured guards, you can take care of them. They risked their lives for this princess, so they must be treated well, and this also applies to you two."

"Yes, I understand."

Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang spoke at the same time.

Liang Chongyue put away the booklet in his hand, packed it into a box, looked at the sunlight coming in from outside, which was quite warm, and waved his hand to let the two people in front of him leave.

"Iris, go tell the Third Princess to get up and wash up. After breakfast, we'll return to the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go right away."

Liang Chongyue locked the wooden box and leaned back in his chair. Scenes flashed through his mind one after another. There had been so many things happening recently.

She hasn't twirled her hands for a long time, but recently she started doing this again.

"Ping'an, give orders to take good care of Qi Yu. Have the court doctor focus on restoring his health, and then send someone to test his martial arts skills."

If Shentu Jue only regarded Shentu Yu as nourishment to support the old Emperor Daqian, then those so-called shadow princes and rumors about their superb martial arts skills should all be lies spread by Shentu Jue.

It was just to build momentum for Shentu Yu, a man who had been locked up in a tent and lived alone for more than twenty years. Except for his twisted personality, which might be true, everything about him and around him was fake.

After Ping An took his leave, Liang Chongyue was the only one left on the first floor of Changshengtian, lazily leaning on a chair in deep thought.

The jade curling stick in her hand had been polished to a shine, and the two booklets in front of her were her study notes.

Thinking of the words her scumbag father said when he was about to hand over the national treasury to her, they were half true and half false, and hard to understand.

Now that Liang Chongzhen has briefly bid farewell to the road to succession, she has to find out the true strengths of her good brothers and sisters.

It couldn't be that Shentu Jue was right. She was just a woman, busy all her life but ended up preparing wedding dresses for others.

Liang Chongyue picked up a wolf hair brush and wrote down a few names on the blank paper, drawing circles, and finally stopped at a person who was the most low-key in the past.
