"Prince Shu has been visiting early for the past three days, bringing numerous gifts and supplements. He's been saying things the concierge couldn't understand, but according to the rules set by His Highness, he wasn't allowed in. Prince Shu wasn't annoyed, and continued to come early every day, his gifts becoming more generous each time."

Liang Chongyue lay on the bed, listening to Yunling imitating Liang Chongjing's tone and repeating to her what she had learned from the doorman.

Liang Chongyue only heard once and knew what Liang Chongjing was up to. It seemed that he was certain that she had been bullied and couldn't wait to start hinting at her.

"I've also looked at those supplements. Most of them are for women to replenish their qi and blood. There are many valuable medicinal herbs in them. I'm afraid Prince Shu will not give up until he sees His Highness."

Yun Ling spoke with some concern, but Liang Chongyue just laughed sarcastically:

"Nothing's wrong. He will feel more at ease if he can't see me."

Liang Chongyue could already imagine that Liang Chongjing, encouraged by Liang Chongan and the people around him, must have felt that she was physically and mentally dead after being bullied. He changed his previous personality and started to stay indoors. Being sick was just an excuse to refuse to see visitors.

The more she was unwilling to see people, the more certain these people were that their evil plan had already been accomplished, and it was only hinted at in words.

When she still doesn't respond and they can't wait any longer, that's when the window paper will be broken.

Yun Ling didn't understand what His Highness meant, and just continued to narrate what had happened during the few days His Highness was in a coma.

"Sometimes, word spread in the capital that Prince Li had been married for years but had no children because he was a homosexual and that countless of his staff were his mistresses. This story spread like wildfire, and Prince Li, to avoid suspicion, has stayed home for the past few days."

Liang Chongyue asked Ping'an to do this in order to delay Liang Chong'an first. He was busy resolving the rumors in the capital and finding the person behind the scenes, so that she would have time to deal with more things.

"Aside from Doctor Fang who comes every day, Grand Tutor Li came once, and since then, only Lord Dingguo has sent someone to invite Your Highness to meet in the study at midnight tonight."

"Tonight at midnight?"

Yun Ling nodded silently. Liang Chongyue didn't expect that he woke up at the right time.

"Alright, you've all been working hard these past few days. I'm giving you a day off to rest up. Let Iris and the others serve you today, and have the kitchen prepare lunch for this princess."

After Yun Ling retreated, Liang Chongyue's gaze fell on the system, which was still sobbing softly.

"What's there to cry about? Isn't this princess still alive?"

Liang Chongyue got up from the bed and someone had already prepared hot water for her to wash.

Liang Chongyue simply washed up and slept for three days in a row. During these three days, he must have had a high fever and felt sticky all over.

While waiting for Iris and the others to come up, Liang Chongyue poured himself a cup of milk tea and sat comfortably on the terrace, enjoying the breeze and drinking tea.

The weather today is just average, there is no sunshine at all, not too sunny and not too hot.

"Host, I almost thought I would never see you again in this life."

The system came over with a twitch, and Liang Chongyue blocked it directly.

"Next time you say something unlucky like that, I'll reward you with a meal of stir-fried pork and bamboo shoots."

Liang Chongyue drank a cup of milk tea and felt a little better in her stomach. She curled up lazily on the recliner and looked into the distance quietly.

"Host, your values in all aspects seem to have increased."

Liang Chongyue nodded lightly in response, and the next second, the system retrieved her information and placed it in front of her.

"Host, look at these. They are growing at an extremely fast rate, faster than you have grown in the past ten years."

In fact, Liang Chongyue could feel it without any systematic explanation, because this body was her own after all.

Liang Chongyue took a casual look at it, and the system also thoughtfully made a line graph for her convenience. Sure enough, her growth in the past three days was an astonishing upward curve, which was almost vertical compared to previous years.

"Haste makes waste. You don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse."

Liang Chongyue sighed. The towering tree that grew overnight only looked strong on the outside. When the day came that the building was about to collapse, people would find that apart from the outer layer of skin, the inside was just a rotten and moldy shell.

"Host, think positively. That Fire Jade shouldn't be such a bad thing. Since you absorbed it, except for the fever you experience when you sleep at night, you have made great progress in other aspects."

Liang Chongyue directly pinched the system's mouth and gave it a cold look.

What do you mean besides getting hot at night when sleeping, she sounds like a solar heating device.

She just didn't want to talk about her nightmare, it didn't mean it didn't exist.

"I asked you to investigate the Fire Jade matter. How's it going?"

Hearing the system's humming sound, Liang Chongyue finally let go of the dog's mouth.

"That fire jade seemed to appear out of thin air. Apart from finding out that it is indeed a family heirloom passed down by the He family, there is no information about it."

It appeared out of nowhere, could change her body functions, and even make her fall into nightmares every time she slept. Liang Chongyue didn't think it was a good thing at all.

The system was a little frustrated because it didn't find anything. It lay on the ground, staying beside the host without saying a word. When Liang Chongyue looked over again, he saw that the system had fallen asleep with its eyes closed, and there was suspicious saliva flowing from the corner of its mouth.

Liang Chongyue shook his head helplessly, got up and went back into the house, casually put on a coat and went downstairs. Ping'an, who had been guarding outside the prince's door, saw the prince come out and immediately went to greet him.

"Your Highness."

After Liang Chongyue came out, she realized that the wind was unusually strong today, blowing her hair wildly.

"Go get some hot water. This princess needs to bathe and change her clothes."

Ping An took the order and left. Liang Chongyue stood there and caught a glimpse of Jing Sui Yang who was looking at her sideways.

"If you have anything to say, come and tell me. If you keep looking at me, can you ever get your eyes back?"

Liang Chongyue had been lying in bed for a long time, her body felt weak, and she wanted to go out for a walk.

He took Jing Sui Yang to the backyard of her house, where the flowers blooming were the same as those in his mother's backyard.

It is now the end of summer, and the flowers are blooming again in the last wave of heat. Liang Chongyue walked to the swing in the backyard and sat down, while Jing Suiyang slowly pushed it behind her.

As the fragrance filled the air, Liang Chongyue seemed to have returned to the past. When she was little, her mother also built a swing like this in the backyard specifically for her to play on.

"Your Highness, someone in the dark cell can't hold on any longer."

Liang Chongyue closed his eyes and felt the fragrance brought by the sea of flowers. After a while, he responded:

"Go on."
