The brightest young general in Yunzhou City, the only son of Prince Guangling - He Yanting. Liang Chongyue had heard of his name before. A few years ago, during the border melee, Prince Guangling stayed behind to guard Yunzhou City. He led 20,000 soldiers to support and beheaded the enemy leader on his horse, making him famous in one battle.

Liang Chongyue calculated the days and found that his scumbag father's birthday was in two days. He thought that he could see him in the palace today because he had come with Prince Guangling and his wife to celebrate his scumbag father's birthday.

"Princess of the Nation—Liang Chongyue."

Liang Chongyue spoke calmly and directly, taking back the jade hairpin in her hand.

She had used a little too much force when she attacked just now, and she had not expected that the skin of the Prince of Guangling, who had fought bravely on the battlefield, was so delicate. The hairpin she had casually pulled out was not a special weapon, but it could actually pierce his neck and make him bleed.

Pure red blood flowed slowly down his white neck, not so fast that it was hard to pretend not to see it.

"I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess Zhenguo. May Her Royal Highness be well and safe."

Sitting on a tree branch, He Yanting could not salute, so he could only raise his hand and clasp his fists as a sign of greeting. When he said the last two words, He Yanting suddenly looked up at Liang Chongyue. The sunlight happened to shine through the layers of leaves onto his face, and his tall nose bridge appeared more three-dimensional in the light and shadow, as if it was carefully carved by a skilled craftsman.

Fine fragments of light and shadow danced on his straight nose, one side was bright, the other side was dim, outlining a charming boundary between light and dark. Liang Chongyue could smell the faint scent of soap on him when he was so close.

Liang Chongyue could see her own figure clearly in his deep eyes. Although they had met several times when they were young, that was after all when they were children. She didn't know where the deep affection in He Yanting's eyes came from.

He Yanting followed the prince's gaze and touched his neck. He felt the warm and familiar touch and immediately understood.

The two of them were still sitting very close to each other on the tree branch. He Yanting didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him, so he wiped the blood that was slowly leaving on his neck. The hairpin that His Highness had pierced was a bit too deep, and there was no hemostatic powder, so the bleeding could not be stopped for a while.

Liang Chongyue took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to He Yanting. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a sharp voice.

It was also the first time that Liang Chongyue knew that Qi Deyuan's duck voice could make such a loud sound. The originally quiet birds in Jingyang Palace were startled and made a lot of noise.

Liang Chongyue came here today just to watch the fun. Even though her scumbag father left, it didn't affect her original intention of watching the fun.

She had already figured out the look in her father's eyes just now. With his superb martial arts skills, he must have noticed her when he looked over. Since his father didn't care, it meant he was indulging her, so she deliberately looked at him more openly.

Liang Chongyue glanced at He Yanting and saw that he looked indifferent and didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all. It was too late to drive him away now, so Liang Chongyue decided to maintain his scumbag father's dignity for the last time.

She stuffed the handkerchief in her hand into He Yanting's hand, and seeing the eunuch dragging someone out of Concubine Lian's Palace, Liang Chongyue directly covered He Yanting's eyes with her hands.

"I advise the prince not to watch what happens next. After all, it's a private matter within the palace. If you watch too much and it gets out, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have ten mouths."

He Yanting's vision was completely blocked by the princess's raised sleeves. The screams were heard continuously, but he could only see the green brocade in front of him.

"Your Highness has covered it so tightly that I cannot see it even if I want to."

Liang Chongyue ignored He Yanting's words. The eunuch who followed Qi Deyuan in dragged out a man covered in blood.

When the execution was being carried out in the Ministry of Punishment, she ordered people to protect Wu Qiang's heart meridians to ensure that he would not die too quickly and that he could still walk around after coming out of the cannibalistic place of the Ministry of Punishment.

However, the fact that Wu Qiang knew martial arts was just a random fabrication between her and her mother. Dai Viet was an absolutely patriarchal country, and princesses had no human rights. She had never expected that Wu Qiang, the son of a duke, knew no martial arts at all.

If Li Jin had not reported it early, Wu Qiang would have almost died in the Ministry of Punishment.

"You bastard, not only did you run away, you even dared to break into the palace of Concubine Lian. Someone, call the guards. We want to kill this bastard ourselves."

Hearing Qi Deyuan's words, Liang Chongyue's eyes turned cold. Qi Deyuan was a person who preferred to mind his own business. When Concubine Lian was dying, he must not be willing to tell his scumbag father about the matter between Concubine Lian and Wu Qiang, so as not to make his scumbag father unhappy on the eve of his birthday.

He is a servant in front of the emperor, and the ones who will be unlucky will definitely be these eunuchs.

Liang Chongyue had completely forgotten that there was a living person beside him, and the expression on his face was revealed without any concealment.

"Who has upset Your Highness? Would you like me to bring him here so that Your Highness can vent his anger?"

The clear voice beside him sounded at an inopportune time. Liang Chongyue turned around and gave He Yanting a perfunctory smile, then turned her eyes and looked at Qi Deyuan again.

She doesn't care what the people around her think. She is now hesitating about how to resolve this situation.

Her scumbag father's birthday is approaching, and if she is honest with herself, she will find that her scumbag father's favoritism towards her has reached a point that is enough to make her brothers and sisters jealous and angry.

Liang Chongyue sat silently on the tree branch, hesitating. It was not that she didn't want her scumbag father to have a good birthday. She had even been looking for a gift for her scumbag father's birthday this year a year ago.

Now that her scumbag father did not visit Concubine Lian in person, her original plan was disrupted. If Qi Deyuan was afraid of her scumbag father's anger and did not tell her the truth, the things she had planned later would have to be put on hold or adjusted altogether.

"When I first met Your Highness, you were always by His Majesty's side, and you were always decisive and efficient. What's become of you now? You've become so indecisive, and you don't have the courage you once had."

He Yanting had been nagging beside her all the time, but his words really expressed her current predicament. She wanted to seize power, but she also cared about blood ties. She grew up in love in this life. She couldn't bear to leave her mother, but was afraid of bringing trouble to the Xiang family. She couldn't harden her heart, so she couldn't do the things she wanted to do.

It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. She used to think that the royal family was so heartless, but now she understands that family affection and power can only complement each other, not be taken into account at the same time.

If she is not the one who sits on the throne, the first target of the new emperor will be the Xiang family. At that time, the court will be in turmoil, and one of the two forces will inevitably suffer losses in the fight. She does not want to gamble, she just wants to win.

As long as she wins, the Xiang family will become the emperor's mother family, and thus they will be able to stand firm in the court. This plan will only make the scumbag father feel sorry for her. She was raised by her scumbag father. "Strategies of the Warring States" and "Book of War"...

She had been learning the art of being an emperor since she was a child. Her scumbag father had never mentioned to her what a woman should do. As long as she wanted to learn, her scumbag father could find her all the capable people in Daxia.

The beauty of her childhood flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern. She once rode on her scumbag father's shoulders to pick flowers, and the sound of joy could be heard throughout the entire Yikun Palace...

The emperor, who was so arrogant outside, always acted easy to talk to in front of her. If she really wanted Tianshangyue, her scumbag father might find a way to get it for her.

Liang Chongyue's eyes were filled with uncontrollable nostalgia and yearning, but a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Although it was fleeting, He Yanting still saw it.
