The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 568 One Foot Steps into the Palace of Hell
After the horses entered the suburbs of Beijing, they could no longer gallop as fast as before. Horse-drawn carriages would pass by on the official roads in the suburbs of Beijing from time to time, and it was not allowed to drive horses fast.
Liang Chongyue was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. She went to a farm she owned outside Beijing and rested for a while. After dark, she took Jing Suiyang to the camp outside Beijing.
Inside the tent, her uncle, who had secretly returned to Beijing, was already waiting there. When he saw her coming, he had already prepared milk tea for her.
"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness, the Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Liang Chongyue quickly stepped forward to help his eldest uncle up. His second uncle happened to walk in from outside at this time, holding a freshly baked pastry in his hand.
"Your Highness, you've had a hard time on this journey. Please have some cakes to fill your stomach."
Liang Chongyue turned around upon hearing this and saw her second uncle smiling broadly at her. She was stunned for a moment before taking the cake from her second uncle.
"Didn't Second Uncle say in the letter that he had to stay in the northern border and couldn't return to the capital?"
The soft, sweet and delicious pastries melted in the mouth and tasted very good. Guan Zhong didn't like such sweet pastries as she hadn't eaten them for a long time.
"The situation in the capital is so unpredictable right now. I'm always worried if I don't come back. But don't worry, Your Highness. Everything has been arranged in the northern border, and they will definitely not hinder Your Highness."
"I am always most confident in the work of my two uncles. Father's health is getting worse. I think he will die in the next day or two."
After finishing the sweet and soft pastries, Liang Chongyue sat down and took a sip of milk tea. He had learned from his uncle that they had only secretly returned to the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago and did not know much about the situation in the capital.
"Now, countless eyes are staring at the Marquis' Mansion. Even if Father knew we were back, he wouldn't send anyone to tell us. There's a plague in the capital, and the city gates haven't been open for a long time."
Liang Chongyue had originally intended to use this plague to strike down his good brothers, but he never expected that this group of idiots not only failed to control the spread of the plague, but also their rare unity allowed the plague, which was not serious at first, to spread to such a level.
It is true that I am not afraid of smart people being bad, but I am afraid of stupid people being too hardworking.
"I have a solution for the plague, but it will take a long time, and I can't wait for my father to come."
As he spoke, Liang Chongyue took out the imperial edict that he had the system forge from his arms and placed it in front of his two uncles.
Xiang Huating picked up one end of it respectfully. The handwriting was indeed His Majesty's, though a little messy. Perhaps it was written while he was sick. But if His Majesty was willing to let Your Highness return to the capital, how could he not reveal any news at all?
"This couldn't have been written by Your Majesty himself."
Although there is His Majesty's personal seal on it, it seems something is wrong no matter how you look at it.
The second uncle saw the problem at a glance. Liang Chongyue didn't say much, but just pointed at the private seal on the imperial edict:
"My father is seriously ill in bed and has lost some of his memory. This chapter proves it's true."
Anyway, what is written here does not involve military power or the throne, so no one will question the authenticity of this imperial edict.
Xiang Huayan nodded silently in agreement. The capital was in chaos right now, and the people were praying at home every day for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to return to the capital as soon as possible. Who would question such a popular wish?
"When will His Highness show up?"
His Majesty was seriously ill, and the imperial physicians took turns standing guard outside the Yangxin Palace. They dared not leave, not even the palace gate, for fear that they would be infected with the plague outside and bring it back to the palace, which would be a capital crime punishable by the death penalty for all nine generations of their clan.
"Of course, we have to wait until Father takes his last breath."
Liang Chongyue didn't want to appear in front of everyone too early and waste time by making a scene with those idiots.
Although the scumbag father is unreliable now, she is also the only heir to the throne that the scumbag father has announced to the world. As long as she is around, the good brothers will always be brothers in this life.
Xiang Huayan and Xiang Huating looked at each other. They thought they would obey the decision of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Her Royal Highness must have her own intentions in making such arrangements.
"The capital city has been surrounded by the Xiang family army. With just one order from Your Highness, we can enter the city and capture the traitors."
Liang Chongyue understood who the traitors his uncle was talking about were, but the capital was currently experiencing a major plague outbreak, and the lives of the Xiang family army were also at stake.
Although she has a way to solve this plague, if it really becomes too big to be controlled, death is inevitable.
Life-saving medicines are limited. If one less person is infected with the plague, there will be fewer problems afterwards.
"After tonight, we can arrange for the replacement of the guards patrolling the palace. Also, prepare to eliminate these families who are causing such trouble."
She was not in the capital this year, and her scumbag father distributed her things to many people. The booklet Liang Chongyue took out from her sleeve contained the names of her brothers who had caused the most trouble during this period.
Her mother's family was quite powerful and had divided up a lot of the things she had worked hard for from her scumbag father. With a lot of people praising her, she gradually became arrogant.
After allowing them to use her people and power to stir up trouble for so long, it's time to take it back.
After Xiang Huayan arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, he never left the camp there, but he had heard about the actions of several princes written in His Highness's list when he arrived.
"You will finally understand."
Xiang Huayan folded the booklet and put it into his sleeve. Liang Chongyue chatted with his two uncles in the tent for a long time until the sky turned pale. Only then did Liang Chongyue explain everything to them.
This move was a bit risky for her, but it was all forced by her scumbag father. Now that life is getting better, her scumbag father wants to kick her out, so don't blame her for being rude.
While it was still light outside, Liang Chongyue returned to the tent prepared for her to rest.
With two uncles living in the suburbs of Beijing and her grandfather in the capital, the anxiety that had been hanging in the air for her along the way gradually settled down.
After traveling day and night for a month and a half, Liang Chongyue fell asleep as soon as he lay down. When he woke up, the prompt sound on the panel in his head kept ringing.
Liang Chongyue sat up directly and opened the panel. After reading the content above, Liang Chongyue counted on his fingers what day it was. It was really a coincidence.
"Host, your scumbag father is about to die. You can clean up and make a shining debut."
She rushed back all the way, fearing that she would not be able to catch up with her scumbag father until he died. However, as soon as she got back, her scumbag father was about to die.
Liang Chongyue glanced at the time of the system message. An hour had passed. He wondered if his scumbag father was dead by now.
Just as I was thinking about it, the system connection popped up.
"Host, that Imperial Physician has some medical skills. My scumbag father had one foot in the underworld, but he didn't die. The Imperial Physician saved him."
The system's voice didn't sound happy, but it seemed that the scumbag father was now at the end of his strength. He could be saved once, but not a second time.
"That's fine. Living a long life has its advantages."
The things she arranged yesterday should not have been fully implemented yet. Now that her scumbag father is still alive, she can buy some more time to get out.
Liang Chongyue looked at his father's physical data again, calculated the time, and after getting a clear idea, he closed the panel and said to the system:
"My scumbag father is in poor health, and I think these people can't wait any longer. You should pay more attention to those who have recently entered Guanzhong and protect Yunling's safety."
She was in control of everything happening in the capital. It was originally a game of chess with an endgame, and her scumbag father made the wrong move first, so naturally, she would swallow it all up.
"Host, don't worry. I will definitely protect Sister Yunling."
After hearing the system's assurance, Liang Chongyue turned off the connection, got up and tidied up. Jing Suiyang heard the noise and brought up breakfast.
"Your Highness, His Majesty was seriously ill last night and almost died."
Jing Suiyang's voice was not loud, only loud enough for the two of them to hear. Liang Chongyue said nothing when he heard it. He silently picked up a piece of meat, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
At this time in the Yangxin Palace, Qi Deyuan was extremely anxious and wished he could lie on the bed and be killed by the King of Hell in His Majesty's place, and die in His Majesty's place.
As soon as the Imperial Physician finished checking His Majesty's pulse, Qi Deyuan grabbed his arm:
"How is your Majesty?"
The imperial physician had not slept all night, constantly checking on the emperor's condition. Suddenly, someone grabbed his arm, causing him to lose his balance and almost fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Qi Deyuan was quick-witted and grabbed the imperial physician when he was about to fall.
The imperial physician took several breaths before he finally recovered. He held onto Eunuch Qi's hands, slowly stood firm, looked at Eunuch Qi, and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Qi Deyuan lost his balance and almost fell to the ground with the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Qi Deyuan's voice was trembling uncontrollably. He pushed the imperial physician away and stumbled towards the inner hall, muttering "Your Majesty" all the way.
When he arrived at the bedside of His Majesty, he saw that His Majesty had become haggard and ashen-faced in less than half a year. Qi Deyuan could no longer stand and knelt down in front of the bed.
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to summon Her Highness the Crown Princess back to the palace. If Her Highness knew what you have done, she would surely be heartbroken."
Liang Zhan already knew that he didn't have much time left, but he was drowsy at the moment and had no strength left in his body. He couldn't even open his eyelids. It was the loud noise made by Qi Deyuan kneeling down at the head of his bed that woke him up.
When Liang Zhan heard the word "Daughter", a trace of guilt flashed through his heart. His fingers, as thin as bones, trembled slightly, but the movement was too small and Qi Deyuan didn't notice it at all.
It was not until a silent tear fell that Qi Deyuan realized that His Majesty was no longer drowsy and was responding.
Through eyes blurred by tears, I vaguely saw the corners of His Majesty's mouth twitching slightly.
Qi Deyuan wiped the tears from his face and quickly moved closer to His Majesty's mouth, just wanting to hear what His Majesty was going to say next.
"Edict, edict... book, keep it."
Qi Deyuan lay at the head of the emperor's bed and listened for a long time, but he only heard this one sentence clearly, telling him to put the imperial edict away.
Qi Deyuan's eyes instantly looked at the plaque "Zhengda Guangming" blocked by the screen. His Majesty had left many imperial edicts behind it over the years, most of which were related to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. He really couldn't understand why His Majesty had to transfer Her Royal Highness away from the capital.
If His Highness were still in the capital at this time, none of this would have happened. No matter what plague it was, His Highness would have completely eliminated it as soon as he discovered it, and there would not have been so many problems.
"Which letter are you referring to, Your Majesty?"
Liang Zhan thought Qi Deyuan's voice was really noisy, but he didn't have the strength to kick him away at this moment. He could only raise his hand and use the last bit of strength in his body to point at the desk not far away.
"The Dragon Case, the Dragon Case?"
Qi Deyuan's voice was filled with uncertainty, but at this time His Majesty had already lost his strength, his hands drooping weakly and falling on the quilt like a withered leaf.
Qi Deyuan immediately began to take the emperor's pulse and confirmed that the emperor had just fallen asleep again. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look in the direction the emperor had just pointed.
A tightly wrapped scroll was found in the interlayer of the dragon table. Qi Deyuan opened it with great effort. Inside was the imperial edict of succession that he had read in front of all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that day.
When he got it, Qi Deyuan's face was already covered with tears. He had been with His Majesty for many years and really couldn't understand why His Majesty suddenly insisted on transferring Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess out of the capital.
If His Highness had not left, there wouldn't be so many things happening now.
Qi Deyuan stumbled to the head of His Majesty's bed, holding the scroll containing the imperial edict, and stuffed the imperial edict into His Majesty's hands:
"Your Majesty, I have found her. Your Majesty, please issue an order for Her Highness to return to the capital."
Qi Deyuan was crying with tears and snot, and his voice could be heard outside. The place outside the Yangxin Palace, which was supposed to be heavily guarded, was now empty. Only Little Li Zi stood with his back straight, his indifferent eyes looking into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone.
His Majesty is seriously ill and bedridden, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is not in the capital. The morning court session has been suspended for some time. The news that His Majesty was seriously ill last night and almost passed away spread from the palace. The next morning, countless officials knelt outside the Meridian Gate in official uniforms, begging His Majesty to issue an edict.
If Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is not welcomed back, then we will depose her and reinstate her. I only ask Your Majesty to make a decision.
Liang Chongyue saw the grand scene outside the Meridian Gate on the panel while he was having breakfast. Many of the people kneeling in the front were familiar faces.
We are old acquaintances, so I think she should be happy to see her come back.
"Your Highness, there's a letter from the military advisor."
Liang Chongyue was watching the excitement when Jing Suiyang walked in with a letter from her second uncle. Liang Chongyue frowned slightly. She and her second uncle were together now. If there was any news, she could just come and tell him. Why did she have to send a letter?
Liang Chongyue didn't understand what was going on, so she waited for Jing Suiyang to open the letter and confirm that it was correct before she opened it herself.
The handwriting inside is from my grandfather, no wonder it was sent in the name of my second uncle.
Liang Chongyue closed the panel and quickly browsed through it. The content inside was more satisfactory than she thought.
She had just asked her uncle to make the arrangements yesterday, and today all these people were infected with the plague. It was a pity for the innocent people in the capital.
When the emperors engage in games of chance, the casualties are often the people at the bottom of society.
But she had no choice. No one could take away the empire she had built with her own hands.
