The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

After Liang Chongyue asked the question, she met her grandfather's admiring eyes. It seemed that she guessed right.

"The ancestor had long anticipated this day. Chongyue, do you know who the Xiang family's military emblem was chosen by the ancestor?"

The Xiang family's military emblem was decided by the Xiang family's ancestor and the first emperor of Daxia. Everyone in Daxia knew about this. Liang Chongyue nodded silently, waiting for his grandfather's next words.

Xiang Jinsong wiped the blood off his hands with the handkerchief on the tea table, stood up and walked to the cabinet beside him, took out a brocade box from it, and placed it in front of Liang Chongyue.

"open to take a look."

Liang Chongyue did as he was told. When he opened the brocade box, he saw a somewhat faded Xiang family military emblem lying inside.

Liang Chongyue reached out and took back the military badge he had handed to his grandfather and compared it carefully. There was basically no difference. Liang Chongyue observed it carefully again, but still couldn't find any difference.

“Grandfather, Chongyue doesn’t understand.”

Liang Chongyue looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out the clues, so he had to ask his grandfather for help.

"Only the emperors of all generations and the head of the Xiang family know this matter. It's normal that you can't see it, so today, grandfather will tell you the secret in advance."

Liang Chongyue sat obediently opposite his grandfather, watching him take out a bottle of potion from his sleeve like a magic trick and drop a drop on the two military badges.

Liang Chongyue stared at the two military badges in front of him without blinking. The one that his grandfather took out changed color as soon as the potion was dropped on it, and the original red line on it turned black.

But the one she brought with her didn't change at all after the potion was dripped on it.

Liang Chongyue looked at his grandfather in surprise, wanting to hear his grandfather explain the secret.

"This is the secret of the Xiang family's military emblem. The thread used on the emblem was soaked in phoenix tail flowers. Just a drop of juice squeezed from the corrosive grass will turn it black. After soaking it in water, it will turn back to red."

After saying that, Xiang Jinsong picked up the military badge he had just taken out and put it into the tea Chongyue had just poured for him.

Liang Chongyue saw with his own eyes that the military emblem slowly turned back to its original red color, and the color of the tea did not change.

"Then how did Grandfather tell the real from the fake with his naked eyes?"

When her grandfather took out the military badge, she did not smell the fragrance of the phoenix flower. If it wasn't the smell, what else could it be?

Xiang Jinsong used a clean towel to wipe the watermark on the military emblem while explaining to Chongyue:

"Because the sap of the corrosive grass is similar to human blood, human blood can also stain the military emblem black."

After hearing what his grandfather said, Liang Chongyue hurriedly lowered his head to observe the two military emblems. At first glance, the lines on them looked black because the blood had dried, but if you gently scratched them with your fingernail, you can find that the inside of the lines is still red.

"I see. Now Chongyue is relieved."

With this back-up plan, Liang Chongyue thought of Liang Chongan's usual friendly face towards everyone. She wondered if he would still be able to remain friendly if the truth was exposed and his dream was shattered one day.

After Liang Chongyue poured out the cup of tea that his grandfather had just brewed with the military emblem, he changed the cup for his grandfather, scalded it, and poured tea into it again.

Xiang Jinsong placed the now dry military emblem on a shelf nearby, waiting for it to dry out. He then took a sip of the tea Chongyue handed him and said,

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and the princes can't wait any longer. They are making such a big move, isn't Your Majesty aware of it?"

Liang Chongyue put down the teacup she had just picked up. The question her grandfather asked was also what had puzzled her for some time.

"Maybe he knows, but Chongyue doesn't."

The Xiang family has always followed the rules set by the ancestors, only following the emperors of Daxia and never taking sides among the princes. However, he has witnessed two changes of the throne of Daxia.

When His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he had already won the favor of the late Emperor.

Your Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince, and the only one he has carefully taught over the years is Chongyue.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are unpredictable. Grandfather will investigate this matter. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your illness."

Liang Chongyue understood her grandfather's concerns, and agreed with a smile. She then chatted with her grandfather about many things. Most of the things that had troubled her these days were solved by her grandfather. When Liang Chongyue left her grandfather's study, she felt a lot more relaxed.

The sky was still dark. Liang Chongyue jumped over the backyard wall. Although everything remained the same on the way back, she felt much more relaxed than when she came.

Thinking of the words her grandfather said to her, which were more direct than what her mother said and more blunt than what her scumbag father said, she benefited a lot from them.

When Liang Chongyue arrived at the princess's mansion, she was not in a hurry to return to Changshengtian. She still had prisoners to try. She had been studying for most of the day and wanted to find some fun to entertain herself by interacting with others.

Liang Chongyue returned to his house, pulled off his collar and revealed his face.

When they reached the upper part of the secret cell, Liang Chongyue didn't need to open the mechanism himself, as he happened to run into Jing Suiyang who came to change shifts.

"Your Highness, I will come down."

Someone went to activate the mechanism, and Liang Chongyue saved herself the trouble. When the door of the secret cell appeared, Liang Chongyue walked in front, and Jing Suiyang followed behind her.

As soon as he entered the dark cell, Liang Chongyue smelled a foul fishy odor and heard endless screams.

With the help of the night light, Liang Chongyue quickly arrived at the bottom of the dark cell. What he saw was seven or eight people nailed to the cross.

There were only five crosses in the secret cell, and not a single one was wasted.

Among these people, a figure with scars all over his body and snow-white skin exposed immediately attracted Liang Chongyue's attention.

"Is he beaten to death or disabled?"

Chi Rong was preparing a new potion when he heard a very familiar voice behind him.

"Subordinate, please see your master."

Liang Chongyue looked at Chi Rong who saluted her, and remembered that this seemed to be the first time Chi Rong entered the secret prison in her princess mansion, and no one explained the rules to him.

"From now on, once you enter the dungeon, you don't have to bow. Just go about your business."

"Yes, I obey."

Liang Chongyue took a few steps to the man who was nailed in the middle of the five crosses. When she came in just now, the man moved twice. Liang Chongyue thought he was going to say something, but when she raised her eyes, she heard the man's silent roar.

"Tongue cut?"

Liang Chongyue turned to look at Chi Rong and saw Chi Rong walking towards him with a piece of paper covered with writing. The light in the dark cell was not enough, so Jing Sui Yang lit a few more lamps and placed them next to His Highness to avoid hurting His Highness's eyes.

"I've confessed everything. There's no use keeping this tongue."

Liang Chongyue didn't say anything in response to Chi Rong's answer, but focused on the paper he handed over.

After reading it carefully, I found that all the records above are indeed complete, but it is hard to say whether they have explained everything.

"Whatever. Even if my tongue is cut off, I can still write with my hands. So I'll just cut it off."
