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

While protecting her belly, Concubine Qin looked towards the door from time to time, as if she was ready to rush out of Yikun Palace at any time.

Seeing that Concubine Qin's voice was getting louder and louder, Liang Chongyue sneered and raised his sword, and with a few strokes, he cut off Concubine Qin's trachea.

The dodder flower, which was so delicate and charming just now, turned into a dead rabbit in just a few breaths.

"Noble Concubine Qin's outrageous remarks deserve death."

Liang Chongyue's voice was light, as if he was narrating a trivial matter.

Everyone in the hall was shocked by the princess's action. The blood spurting out from Concubine Qin's neck was three feet high.

Liang Chongyue stood in the front, and after Concubine Qin died, when Liang Chongyue looked back, there was not a drop of blood on his mother's body.

Xiang Huayue frowned and looked at Chongyue, trying to see what was wrong on her face, but over the years, His Majesty had personally taught Chongyue, and Chongyue had become more and more like His Majesty.

She had just passed the age of 15, but she had already developed the ability to hide her emotions, and she couldn't see any clues at all.

Just as Xiang Huayue was about to say something, Li Jin walked in, with a chill and unmelted snowflakes on his body. After noticing the bloodstains on the ground, he glanced at the Empress and the Princess, lowered his head and said:

"Her Majesty the Empress, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine De, and Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Qin have passed away."

Liang Chongyue threw the sword in her hand to Yun Ling. Without her saying anything, a palace maid immediately came forward to clean up the bloodstains on the ground and the still warm body of Concubine Qin.

"Send these two bodies back to where they came from. If Father asks, just say that I executed them."

Liang Chongyue's cold gaze swept across Concubine Qin's body, and when he turned to his mother, his eyes were instantly filled with tenderness.

"It's dirty here. It's been four months since we last met. Mother, please follow me to the side hall to reminisce about the past."

Xiang Huayue has been feeling uneasy ever since Concubine De was dragged out. She has a premonition that something must have happened between His Majesty and Chongyue, otherwise Chongyue, who has always been a very cautious person, would not act so impulsively.

After Liang Chongyue washed the blood off his hands, he wiped the blood off his face with a handkerchief and supported his mother as they walked towards the side hall.

When just walking out of the main hall gate, Liang Chongyue deliberately blocked his mother's sight. The palace servants in Yiku Palace were quick and efficient, and it would surely not take long for them to clean up the bloodstains in the courtyard and his mother's hall.

Liang Chongyue had just helped her mother to the side hall, and before she had time to sit down, she felt her mother's slender and soft hand holding her hand, and took her all the way to the Arhat bed and pressed her onto the couch.

"Chongyue, tell the truth to your mother, but did your father give you a hard time?"

Liang Chongyue felt the strength coming from his mother's hands on his shoulders, and lovingly put his own hands on them. He gently took his mother's hands off his shoulders, placed them on his forehead, and slowly leaned his forehead against them.

The floral scent from her mother's hands lingered in her nose for a moment, and this familiar feeling made her feel relaxed and comfortable.

After Liang Chongyue calmed down, he raised his head and looked at his mother:

"Please sit down first, mother. I will explain this matter to you in detail."

Xiang Huayue had no choice but to sit on the couch beside her, her eyes never leaving Chongyue.

Seeing that his mother was worried, Liang Chongyue took out the imperial edict that had been kept in his sleeve and placed it on the low table.

When Xiang Huayue saw the bright yellow imperial edict, countless guesses suddenly appeared in his mind. He stopped asking questions and took the imperial edict to read it.

After Yun Ling served a pot of hot tea to the Empress and Her Royal Highness the Princess, she retreated. The Empress and Her Royal Highness the Princess were the only two people left in the side hall.

The Queen Mother was still reading the imperial edict written to her by her scumbag father. No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the palace was a little depressing for a moment. Liang Chongyue didn't notice anything. After pouring tea for his mother, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After the Queen Mother read the contents of the imperial edict several times, Liang Chongyue finished his cup of tea. Seeing that the hot tea in the Queen Mother's cup had lost its heat, Liang Chongyue poured out the hot tea and refilled it for the Queen Mother.

Looking at Chongyue's actions, Xiang Huayue no longer had the slightest desire to drink tea. She had married into the royal family for love in the first half of her life. After seeing the true nature of His Majesty, she relied on her father's high position and most of the time only cared about her own happiness.

After having Chongyue, she finally had hope for the rest of her life. No one could bully her Chongyue, not even His Majesty.

Liang Chongyue's gaze towards his mother became increasingly cold, seemingly seven points colder than the weather outside.

"Chongyue, your father is a man of unfathomable depth. This imperial edict is of no use."

Xiang Huayue has been with His Majesty for many years, and she knows very well what kind of person His Majesty is.

What is written in this imperial edict is nothing more than taking advantage of Chongyue's young age and inexperience in the world, and trying to use Chongyue to unite with the Xiang family to fight for His Majesty and Daxia.

Regardless of whether the northern border is conquered or not, it will be difficult for Chongyue and the Xiang family to return to the past.

Xiang Huayue could almost imagine that Chongyue and the Xiang family were being used by His Majesty, squeezed dry of their last value, and then discarded at will. The former favor and grace seemed like a passing cloud, and only when he thought of them again would he tease them a few more times.

Just like with her, how much of the favor in the eyes of outsiders is real is only known to those involved.

"Chongyue, you have been so cautious for so many years, how could you trust your father's casual words at this moment? Do you know that if you agree, not only you, but also the Xiang family, will lose everything if you make a wrong move, and there will be no recovery."

Seeing that his mother was very emotional, Liang Chongyue put down the half-drunk hot tea in his hand, took the imperial edict from his mother's hand, spread it on the low table, and slowly said to her:

"I understand your mother's concerns, but the current situation requires us to give it a try. Regardless of whether what your father says is true or not, I have a backup plan and can turn defeat into victory."

Liang Chongyue said it with certainty. At this point, regardless of whether there was a golden finger like the system, the game between her and her scumbag father had already begun. If she didn't give it a try, she would die in the struggle for imperial power, and the same would happen to the Xiang family.

Liang Chongyue comforted her mother for a long time, analyzing the pros and cons of the matter to her mother one by one, and she was also trying to guess what her scumbag father was thinking.

The northern border is not Dai Viet and Langwa, nor is it on the border. It is the old enemy of Daxia, so there is no need to be too particular about the use of troops. As long as there is a good result, she cannot lose.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely be the one who wins in the end."

Xiang Huayue had a faint smile on her face, as if she had been coaxed by Chongyue, but the wrinkles between her eyebrows revealed her worries during this period.

"When will the army set out?"

"Half of the troops at the border should be withdrawn after the New Year. I estimate that they will march north after the New Year."

Chongyue said it lightly, but when Xiang Huayue heard it, she knew that after the New Year, Chongyue would leave her again. She didn't know when he would return, and she didn't know if they would see each other again in this life.

Xiang Huayue suppressed the sour feeling in her heart, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile and pulled Chongyue's hand into her arms, and discussed the recent interesting things in the palace with Chongyue as they did in the past.

As for the two people who had just died, Liang Chongyue and his mother didn't take them to heart.
