Liang Zhan didn't say much to him. He directly put the note in An Yi's hand. Feeling the touch, An Yi withdrew his hand and unfolded the note. Even though he already had a guess in his mind, when he saw the contents of the note clearly, An Yi was still stunned for a moment:

"The puppy needs to eat eight chickens and nine ducks in one meal. He can't skip seven meals a day. He also needs to add a bowl of hawthorn water at night to help digestion."

An Yi was originally reading it word by word, but the content on the note was so smooth that he could say the last two sentences out loud.

Liang Zhan, wearing a black brocade robe, leaned against the dragon throne with a faint smile on his lips. He looked at the embarrassment on the dark side in front of him with interest, his narrow peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a cunning light.

An Yi felt the smile from His Majesty, touched his nose awkwardly, chuckled twice and said:

"The puppy your highness raises is truly extraordinary. No wonder it's even more ferocious than the military dogs in the barracks."

Liang Zhan chuckled disdainfully when he heard his words, thinking of the fat dog that had always been with Chongyue. It either ate or slept every day, and chased butterflies when it had free time. It was far inferior to the hunting dog he kept in the suburbs of Beijing. His Chongyue was good in every way except for his poor taste in choosing dogs.

"I know you don't understand the hidden meaning here. Well, I won't make it difficult for you. Wrap the note and put it back."

An Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that His Majesty did not insist on him deciphering the mystery hidden in the note.

Just as I was about to accept the order and leave, I heard His Majesty mutter:

"An Yi, what do you think of Li Yu'an? I think he's quite smart. Although not as smart as Chong Yue, he's still considered one of the best men in the capital."

An Yi retracted the step he had taken and pointed out Master Li's shortcomings without hesitation:

"He is not in good health and is not worthy of Your Highness."

Liang Zhan frowned slightly, clicked his tongue, and thought to himself that what Li Qing said made sense. Although Li Qing said that his health had improved a lot, his previous consumptive appearance was really scary.

In the past, I had noticed his extraordinary talent and thought that he would become a future literary giant at such a young age. Although he was in poor health, the imperial physician diagnosed that he was not contagious and only then allowed him to teach Chongyue. Unexpectedly, he was able to recover and even had evil intentions towards Chongyue.

Liang Zhan thought for a moment, opened the booklet that had been placed beside him, found the page with Li Yu'an's name on it, and crossed out his name.

An Yi watched His Majesty's familiar operation. There were already many men whose names were crossed out before Li Yu'an. Some of them were even crossed out because His Majesty was in a bad mood that day, or some scandal had just been exposed in their family. His Majesty used too much force when writing, and his names had been crossed out so badly that it was difficult to see what they had originally written.

Looking at the few names left on the roster that had not been crossed out, An Yi couldn't help but remind them:

"Your Majesty, all the young men in the capital who are close in age to Your Highness are already on this list. If you keep marking it up, the booklet should be complete."

Liang Zhan waved his hand at An Yi indifferently:

"If there is no one in the capital who is worthy of Chongyue, I will send people to search for her in all the continents. I don't believe that I can't find a good man for Chongyue in the whole world."

Liang Zhan closed the booklet and put it back to its original place. He looked up and saw that An Yi had not left yet. As if remembering something, he randomly pulled out a piece of paper from the side, folded it, and handed it to An Yi:

"I just dealt with Huang Wanyi today. I'm afraid Chongyue has become suspicious. Now is not the time yet. Take the secret order I just wrote and send people out to secretly search for Feihe's whereabouts. Withdraw all the people who have been placed around Doctor Qi. Chongyue should have arranged for people to assist."

An Yi stroked the two pieces of paper, one large and one small, in his hands. The two pieces of paper rubbed against each other in his hands, making a very light rustling sound.

Although he didn't understand why His Majesty and His Highness did this, An Yi still bowed respectfully and retreated from the darkness.

Liang Zhan was the only one left in the Yangxin Palace. Facing the memorials that were piled up like a mountain, he was just about to pick up his pen to start reviewing them when a name flashed through his mind.

Liang Zhan carefully calculated the man's age and birthday, and his eyes, which had just dimmed because of the memorial, suddenly sparkled.

Liang Zhan opened the booklet that had just been closed without any hesitation and wrote the man's name on it - He Yanting.

A new name was added to the booklet, and Liang Zhan admired it with satisfaction for a while. He could already imagine the scene of Chongyue having children and his empire having successors.

After a long while, Liang Zhan closed the booklet and put it away. Facing the table full of memorials, his face suddenly darkened and he buried his head in his work.

In the Yiku Palace, Liang Chongyue learned what she wanted to know from her mother and returned to her side hall. Huang Wanyi's sudden change made her a little anxious.

She had always wanted to take it slow, but lately she felt like there was a pair of big hands behind her pushing her forward, not wanting her to rest for a moment, as if they were even more anxious than she was.

"Your Highness, the pigeon has been released. I think it will fly back tonight."

Liang Chongyue nodded silently towards Yun Ling, his mind full of thoughts. He couldn't read a single word of the booklet sent by his scumbag father.

Just as I was about to walk to the window to breathe some fresh air and relieve my inner anxiety, the window opened and a white pigeon was standing on the windowsill.

At just one glance, Liang Chongyue realized that this pigeon was the one she had been raising in Yiku Palace.

"Yun Ling."

Liang Chongyue grabbed the pigeon, closed the window he had just opened, and turned back to the desk.

Yun Ling immediately walked to the prince's side because of the prince's shout. When she saw the pigeon in the prince's hand, her eyes widened.

"Your Highness, I've only released this pigeon for less than two quarters of an hour. This isn't the time you originally planned to release it. Furthermore, the note is still on the pigeon's leg. It must have been caught on the road and then released."

Yun Ling's words made sense. Liang Chongyue frowned and took off the paper tied to the pigeon's leg. At just one glance, she could tell something was wrong.

When she turned to look at Yunling, Yunling pointed out the problem before she could ask.

"Your Highness, when I released the pigeon, I tied a piece of my hair to the pigeon's leg exactly as Your Highness instructed. Your Highness taught me a unique technique. When the pigeon flies, the hair will never fall off."

Now that the hair was gone, Yun Ling's previous words were completely confirmed. The pigeon was caught, the note was opened and read, and then it was tied up again and released again.

But that person didn't know that the way she trained pigeons was different from others. Her pigeons only flew one distance. Once they were caught in the middle of the journey and released again, they would not fly back to the originally set destination, but would only fly back.
