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

The next day, Liang Chongyue woke up from his mother's bed, reached out to lift the black hair off his mother's face, and got out of bed quietly.

After washing up, Liang Chongyue came back and looked at his mother again before leaving the Yiku Palace and walking towards the Meridian Gate.

As soon as Liang Chongyue left, the beauty lying on the bed opened her eyes and looked reluctantly in the direction Chongyue left.

"Your Highness, the princess signed a military order in the Yangxin Palace last night. If we fail to conquer the northern border... we will die in apology."

When Chun Chan saw Her Royal Highness the Princess leave, he immediately came in to inform the Queen of the news he had just received.

Even though Xiang Huayue had seen many monsters in the palace, he did not expect that Chongyue was in a low mood last night because of signing the military order.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a case where a royal son had to sign a military order before leading troops to war. Your Majesty does not trust Chongyue, or does he not want Chongyue to come back alive.

Xiang Huayue sat leaning on the bed, her face terribly gloomy. She would never allow anyone to hurt Chongyue, even if it meant risking the wrath of the world. Whoever dared to hurt her Chongyue would be killed by her.

"Let Haruka come to see me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chun Chan had been with the Empress for many years and understood that the Empress was taking action. Over the years, royal heirs were born one after another in the harem, and the Empress had never cared about it.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is going to the Northern Expedition and it is unknown when she will return. There is no need for any new royal heirs to be born in this palace, and those who have already grown up must not block Her Royal Highness's future path.

Liang Chongyue had just walked out of the Meridian Gate and got on the carriage of the Princess's Mansion. Instead of rushing back home, he changed his route and went to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Yunling, go back and tell Ping'an to go get a monk and keep it secret."

Liang Chongyue leaned back in the carriage, his mind full of ways to deal with the Northern Territory. There was a poison expert in the Northern Territory who could use poison to cure Yan Yang remotely. If this person was not dealt with, he would definitely become the biggest obstacle to the Northern Expedition of the army.

Liang Chongyue was thinking about this last night. The person he had raised for so long was finally useful.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

The Princess's Mansion and the Marquis's Mansion were both on the Qu'an official road. After dropping Yunling off at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, the carriage continued to move towards the Marquis's Mansion.

Liang Chongyue took out the topographic map of the northern border from her backpack. She had improved it and it was now the one that best suited the terrain of the northern border.

There are also the manufacturing drawings of the bed crossbow. The small one she made herself is still in the palace. Her scumbag father will definitely send people to secretly research and manufacture it, but without the drawings, they will have to dismantle it and reassemble it.

To replicate a large-scale bed crossbow, one needs repeated experiments and failures, only then can one gain experience and successfully achieve the effect that the scumbag father wants.

It will take several years of research to complete the work involved.

When Liang Chongyue arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the servant guarding the gate saw that it was a carriage from the Princess' Mansion and opened the door to let it pass.

After the carriage entered the mansion, Liang Chongyue got off and went straight to his grandfather's study. It was almost the end of the year, so his third uncle and younger uncle must have returned.

When Liang Chongyue rushed to the study, he saw his grandfather finishing his morning exercise and sitting in the yard polishing his knife.

When Xiang Jinsong saw Chongyue coming, he put the half-cleaned knife back on the shelf and stood up to greet him.

"Why did Chongyue come here so early?"

"Grandfather, Chongyue wants to see you about something."

When Liang Chongyue walked to his grandfather's side, he saw his grandfather waved away the servants waiting everywhere, and even the secret guards in the dark retreated far away.

"Come on, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Liang Chongyue followed his grandfather into the study, and without hiding anything, he took out the prepared topographic map and the manufacturing drawings of the bed crossbow.

"The Emperor has already set the date for the expedition, which is a month away. I imagine Grandfather will soon receive the order to assemble his troops."

Liang Chongyue spread out the two drawings and explained them to his grandfather one by one:

"This is the latest topographic map of the North. There's a poison master in the North, and I'm already looking for someone and a way to counteract him. My third uncle has traveled extensively over the years and has seen a lot. I wonder if he knows anyone who can detoxify me."

Xiang Jinsong had fought against the Northern Territory five years ago, so he knew very little about the poison that Chongyue mentioned. However, the person who could make Chongyue so afraid must really exist.

"Your third uncle is at home. Wait until breakfast time and ask him directly. Even if he doesn't have any, it's not impossible for your grandfather to write a letter and ask the old master of Medicine King Valley to come out and join the army."

Liang Chongyue remembered that her grandfather had told her that the old master of Yaowang Valley's grandson was cured by her detoxification pill, but favors always run out. It would be great if her third uncle knew someone who could perform detoxification.

Putting aside the matter of removing the poison for the time being, Liang Chongyue unfolded the two-meter-long drawing and placed it in front of his grandfather.

"This is the crossbow I've been researching for a long time. I've already made a prototype, but my father gave me the hunting grounds and told me to build fifty of these crossbows in one month and train soldiers to use them."

Liang Chongyue roughly explained to her grandfather how to use the bed crossbow and its actual combat power, but without the real thing, her explanation was still too vague.

"The northern border is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This crossbow is used for sieges. Grandfather, please find me some trustworthy craftsmen to make the crossbow. As for training the soldiers, I'll have to trouble you, Grandfather. I don't have the ability to do that."

Xiang Jinsong knew that Chongyue was being modest, but one month was too short a timeframe and Chongyue might not have the time to spend on the hunting grounds studying these things every day.

Leading the troops into battle, as the head coach, Chongyue will have a lot of things to do in the next month.

"Don't worry, Grandfather will take care of all these things. Once the crossbow is ready, you can show Grandfather how to use it. Grandfather will definitely train a group of soldiers proficient in this weapon for you within a month."

With her grandfather around, Liang Chongyue doesn't have to worry about these things at all. The Xiang family is her strongest support and a harbor where she can rely on when she is tired.

Liang Chongyue studied the topographic map of the northern border with his grandfather in the study. As for the military order, Liang Chongyue did not mention it.

If she had the courage to sign the military order, she should have the ability to do what she said.

Liang Chongyue kept discussing with his grandfather until he felt hungry, and then he remembered that it was past breakfast time.

"It's Grandfather's fault. I forgot Chongyue hasn't had her meal yet. Come on, Grandfather will take you to breakfast. Your two uncles should be up by now."

Liang Chongyue and his grandfather put away the two drawings together. As soon as he put on his cloak, Liang Chongyue remembered something he had forgotten to say.

"The Emperor said he would mobilize 800,000 troops to accompany me on the expedition. I wonder if they are all Xiang's troops."
