The body was salvaged and placed in front of Liang Chongyue. The already swollen body was wrapped in some gorgeous clothes.

The fabric of the clothes and the fashionable gold and silver dragon and cloud patterns on the cuffs revealed that the corpse in front of him must have come from a good family.

Liang Chongyue stood up, ignored the pungent stench, and slowly walked forward to observe the corpse.

"It looks like it has been soaking in water for a long time."

Fei He stood half a step in front of His Majesty, squatted down and carefully examined the soaked body. He took off the jade pendant that could prove the identity and handed it to the people from Sifangtai to check who this person was.

"Your Majesty, this body was not soaked in the North Sea to become like this."

Liang Chongyue's gaze had moved away from the corpse and was staring at the ice surface that had cracked in the middle of the word "Fu".

"I know, this person has been dead for a long time."

The temperature of the North Sea is too low to make it look like this. This person was moved to the North Sea after having soaked somewhere else.

Liang Chongyue still hasn't figured out why. Perhaps once he knows this person's identity, he will know the reason why the person behind this did this.

"I have already sent someone to investigate. We will know the result tonight at the latest. Your Majesty, please return to the palace and leave this matter to me."

When the soaked body floated up from under the ice, its body was still hard. There was a charcoal fire on the viewing platform, and the temperature was much higher than outside. The ice on the body gradually melted, and the stench became more and more obvious.

"Alright, let's deal with those who need to be dealt with together. If you are still unsure, come back and ask me for instructions."

Liang Chongyue was really curious about who was so desperate to play tricks in front of her.

"Yes, I understand."

Before Liang Chongyue turned around and left, he lowered his head and took one last look at the corpse. After writing down all the general details about the corpse, he left the viewing platform.

However, he did not leave the North Sea by the same route. Instead, he walked around the coast of the North Sea and witnessed the ice surface, which was cracking just now, slowly returning to calm. Half of the cracked ice layer floated on the surface, and half sank under the ice. Halfway through the walk, Liang Chongyue suddenly stopped, and Jing Suiyang, who was following behind him, also stopped.

Following His Majesty's gaze, there was an ice hole the size of a man on the ice floe closest to His Majesty. It seemed that the man was frozen in this piece of ice.

"Send someone to drag this piece of ice up to me so I can examine it thoroughly."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

After the last person beside him left, Liang Chongyue released his inner strength to check around the North Sea.

Because she was going to take Minglang and her mother out of the palace to watch the ice skating today, there were too many masters around Beihai, plus there were still crowds of people who had not dispersed.

There were too many complicated factors, and Liang Chongyue did not find anything wrong.

"Never mind. In this era, no one can be flawless. I will find out sooner or later."

After leaving Beihai Garden, the carriages gathered outside had not yet completely left. Liang Chongyue glanced at the carriages stuck there, turned back to Beihai Garden, picked a horse from the stable, and drove away without even putting on a saddle.

After returning to the palace, Liang Chongyue went directly to the Cining Palace. When she arrived, Minglang was telling a story to his mother.

"Mother Queen."

"Your son pays his respects to your majesty. I have failed in my duty today and have disturbed your majesty's mood."

Liang Chongyue strode up to his mother and knelt down to apologize.

"Get up quickly. It's not your fault that the ice cracked."

Xiang Huayue got down from the Arhat bed, helped Chongyue up, and gave a look to Chunxiang who was waiting on the side.

"Your Highness, the ginger soup is ready. I will take you to drink the ginger soup before coming back."

Liang Minglang helped the Queen Mother up with one hand. When he heard what Aunt Chunxiang said, his eyes moved between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. After looking around, he obediently followed Aunt Chunxiang away.

"Mother, is Minglang frightened?"

Liang Chongyue hurried back on horseback, worried about Minglang.

This was her second time out of the palace, and she witnessed this dangerous scene, which inevitably left an impact on her young mind.

"Don't worry, when you stuffed her into my arms, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Bing Lie. This child is quite courageous."

When Xiang Huayue recalled the past, there was a helpless smile in her eyes. After all, she was still ignorant and didn't know fear.

"I will stay with Minglang tonight, otherwise I will be worried."

Liang Chongyue took the tea handed to him by his mother and drank it all in one gulp, his tone full of worry for Minglang.

"As you wish. Then have the kitchen cook a few more dishes and call Yu'an over. If Minglang keeps talking about Beihai, have Yu'an teach her a lesson and distract her."

Liang Chongyue had just put down the teacup when he heard his mother's words. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. It was a good idea.

Minglang loves reading. Maybe if Li Yu'an gives her a lesson, she can sleep better at night.

"Send someone to invite you back."

Ping'an responded and retreated. Seeing this, Yunling put down her tea and followed suit.

"Tell me, is there someone causing trouble in the North Sea today?"

Liang Chongyue knew that he could not hide anything from his mother, so he told her everything that had happened.

Xiang Huayue was thinking in her mind while listening to Chongyue.

"Who does Chongyue think is responsible?"

There is still no result from the system and Fei He. Liang Chongyue thought about it, but couldn't think of anyone in the capital who would be so bold as to cause trouble at the North Sea Ice Skating. He could only shake his head at his mother.

"Don't worry about this, mother. I've already sent someone to investigate. You just need to take care of yourself and Minglang."

Liang Chongyue didn't take this matter to heart. Her thundering methods had been well-known in the capital a few years ago. Those who dared to seek trouble under her nose would be doomed once they were found out. There was no need to take it too seriously.

"You are the ruler of a country. This little thing doesn't mean anything to you. Don't forget to control public opinion."

Xiang Huayue has been in the palace for so many years and has already thoroughly understood human nature. The means used in this incident were not particularly sophisticated, but the time and place chosen by the person behind the scenes were very clever.

Officials of the fifth rank and above and their families in the capital were all watching the Beihai Ice Skating. If she saw correctly, the ice happened to crack right in the middle of the Chinese character "Fu". It was New Year and all nations were coming to pay tribute, so this was extremely unlucky.

If the people behind the scenes use this to make a big fuss, even if no one dares to disrespect Your Majesty openly, it will be difficult to stop the people from talking nonsense.

"I know, don't worry, mother."

Emperor Liang Chongyue is no pushover. She has climbed to this position through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. These people think too little of her as an emperor.

It's hard to appease everyone, so she won't. She also wants to see how far these people can go. It would be best if they have the ability to turn the capital upside down so that she can catch them all in one fell swoop.
