That night, Xiang Huayue slept restlessly with Minglang in her arms until dawn when she could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

The system had climbed onto the eaves of the main hall of the Cining Palace at some point. Its white fur shone silver in the moonlight, and its huge size made it look like the wolf king from the snow-capped mountains in the north, patrolling its territory.

When Liang Chongyue arrived at the royal villa on horseback, the panel showed that Fei He had not arrived yet. After galloping for nearly an hour, the horse could hardly bear it anymore. Liang Chongyue tied the horse to the woods outside the villa to graze, and found a high place to sit, waiting for the fool to come.

Liang Chongyue didn't know how long it had been, until his hands and feet were cold, before he heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.

He jumped down from a high place and stood waiting for Feihe on the path she had to pass.

Fei He was so busy getting on with his journey that he only saw the familiar figure when he got close. He was startled and quickly pulled the reins to stop the horse.

"His Majesty."

Fei He dismounted without even caring about the horse, and quickly walked to the front of His Majesty and knelt down.

When they were close, Liang Chongyue could smell the strong smell of blood on him.

"You are not allowed to leave my side without my permission. Where is Commander Fei Zhang going?"

With a slap, Liang Chongyue slapped the mask off Fei He's face. Not satisfied yet, he drew his sword and stabbed him in the lower abdomen.

The magic sword hadn't tasted blood for a long time, so now that it tasted blood, it immediately became obedient. However, there were two magic swords, and Liang Chongyue finally softened his heart and didn't pierce Fei He's four holes with his two swords.

Although all the rebels were caught in the few days after leaving the palace, Fei He was still worried. He knew the emperor's temper and was afraid that he had been angry for a long time. When he returned, not to mention being the chief of the Sifangtai, even if he was just a palace maid sweeping the floor outside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor would not want him anymore.

But this matter is dangerous and difficult to investigate. If His Majesty is informed early, His Majesty will be too busy to deal with it, and he will have to worry about the trouble caused by this group of traitors. He can't bear it and is unwilling to do so selfishly, thinking that he can handle it himself.

I don't want this matter to be brought to your Majesty. That group of people is the core of the Sifangtai. They are the ones who know your Majesty's achievements over the years best, but they cannot tolerate a woman becoming emperor. Fortunately, they don't even recognize anything your Majesty has done.

If Your Majesty knew this, he would be so sad.

So when he met His Majesty's angry gaze, Fei He felt that he was ridiculous for thinking that such a big thing could be hidden from His Majesty. But he did not regret it. At least before His Majesty came, he had already dealt with that group of people. His Majesty would no longer hear the crazy words from that group of people and affect his mood.

"It is my fault. I have committed a serious crime. Your Majesty, please continue to punish me."

The pain from the wound spread throughout his body, but his tense heart seemed to feel better. If he could die in His Majesty's hands, it would be a kind of happiness.

"I'm asking you, where are you going?"

Liang Chongyue could still see a little of the eaves of the royal villa behind her. She had chosen this place specifically to wait for him, just wanting to hear him say it.

His Majesty's tone was even colder than before. Fei He didn't even have the courage to look up at His Majesty for another second, for he was afraid that he would be unwilling to die if he did.

"I am forbidden from leaving the palace without permission. I have committed a serious crime and I ask Your Majesty to punish me."

The well-fed magic sword was held obediently in Liang Chongyue's hand, while the other sword in his backpack was vibrating as if it had eyes and could see. If it could speak, it would probably be encouraging Liang Chongyue to take action.

Liang Chongyue looked at the person kneeling in front of her, stubborn as a dead donkey. She really didn't know how her scumbag father had endured all these years and sent him here to serve her. Did he think that being angry to the point of having a heart attack was not enough, and he wanted to drag her into it?

Liang Chongyue pulled out the magic sword, and blood immediately spurted out, dripping onto the ground. The other magic sword in his backpack went completely crazy.

Fei He groaned in pain, feeling the blood oozing out of the wound and his life slipping away bit by bit. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked up at the moon high in the sky.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, shining on me alone. How lucky I am! It is I who am unlucky.

A ray of moonlight fell on the two of them, illuminating Fei He's beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Looking at those eyes, Liang Chongyue had a bright and cheerful smile in his mind.

Minglang is getting older, and his eyes and eyebrows are becoming more and more like Feihe.

Thinking of this, Liang Chongyue kicked Fei He on the shoulder, knocking him to the ground. As the white jade porcelain bottle fell to the ground, he said in a resounding voice: "Idiot."

Fei He had other injuries on his body. He had come here with the determination to die, and his wounds had not been treated. He could not withstand the kick from His Majesty and fainted.

When Ping An arrived, he saw His Majesty sitting on his horse and Lord Fei He lying on the grass with a pale face. There was a familiar porcelain vase beside him. He didn't even dare to ask any more questions and went straight to report his work:

"Your Majesty, I have found out that it is the seventeenth prince. He will come of age next year. His mother's family is the former Marquis of Dongchang."

The reason why I said it was before is because the Marquis of Dongchang’s mansion has been ransacked by His Majesty, and even the mansion sign has been torn to pieces. No one knows where the next Marquis of Dongchang is.

"Ever since His Majesty issued an order for all princes and princesses without titles or fiefs to move to the imperial palace, the Marquis of Dongchang colluded with the Sifangtai before their property was confiscated."

Speaking of the Sifangtai, Ping'an glanced at Master Fei, who was lying on the ground with his chest motionless. Seeing that he was in such a state, he quickly continued:

"When I came to investigate, several young princes knew about this. It seems that this group of people is not secretive and cannot accomplish anything big. Your Majesty, do not take this matter to heart. I will handle it."

After hearing these words, Liang Chongyue felt for the first time that the people around her didn't seem very smart. If it wasn't done secretly, how could Fei He know about it now? Her good brothers grew up in the palace, and the struggle for power was already ingrained in their bones. Even the children discovered this, so it must be fake.

Her seventeenth brother was just a cover, and there was someone else who was actually chosen by Sifangtai.

"Find an opportunity nearby and kill them all."

Liang Chongyue didn't want to wait any longer. If there was a fuss today, he would deal with the troublemakers. If there was a fuss tomorrow, he would deal with tomorrow's troublemakers. His scumbag father had enough offspring in his harem. If he killed them every day, it would be better for them to die together.

When Ping'an heard this, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that His Majesty is no longer the same Majesty as before.

At this moment, Ping'an caught a glimpse of Lord Fei lying on the ground. He smelled the blood in the air and seemed to understand where Lord Fei got these injuries.

No wonder His Majesty is so angry. These people deserve to die for injuring Lord Fei so badly.

"Yes, I will do it immediately. Within ten days, the Royal Courtyard will be hit by a plague. The disease is serious. All the palace doctors who are experts in this field have gone to North China. There is no solution for the time being. The princes and princesses are weak and may not survive."

Liang Chongyue was silent for a moment after hearing this:

"How many princesses are there in the Royal Villa?"
