Jing Sui Yang was startled by the touch of his Adam's apple. He subconsciously held his breath, straightened his back, and dared not move for fear of offending Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"I don't have any."

Liang Chongyue withdrew her teasing hand, slowly squatted in front of him, and stared at him straight with her beautiful peach blossom eyes without saying a word.

The air around her seemed to become thinner because of her action.

The clarity in his eyes was gone, and the corners of his eyes were red, replaced by panic and helplessness that was difficult to conceal under his forced calmness.

Liang Chongyue looked at his facial features carefully, and there was really not a single part that did not suit her aesthetic taste.

She leaned forward towards him, and the next moment her arms were supported by a pair of large hands, preventing her from slowly leaning forward.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Liang Chongyue curled her lips and smiled slightly, looking at Jing Suiyang's loyal and serious expression, and gently stroked his lips with her hand:

"There's something on the corner of your mouth. Be more careful next time."

After saying that, she stood up with her hands on his arms and walked out without looking back:

"Let's go. From now on, you will be my personal protector. I will personally arrange accommodation for you."

Jing Sui Yang stood there in a daze, with the warmth of Her Royal Highness's fingers still on his lips. When he heard the sound of Her Royal Highness's Princess leaving, he tentatively stretched out his tongue and licked the place that Her Royal Highness's Princess had just touched.

It was even sweeter than he thought. Was there honey on Her Royal Highness’s hands?

As soon as Liang Chongyue walked out of the front gate, he saw Xi Yu, Ping An and the system tied with a leash.

"Clean up the waterside residence on the east side of Changshengtian. Jing Suiyang will live there from now on."

Liang Chongyue rubbed the system's dog head. The hair was a little tangled and needed to be washed.

"Send the puppy for a bath and bring it back when it's clean."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, without waiting for the system to resist, he took Jing Suiyang who had just come out and left the front yard.

The two people and the dog were left alone, watching the two people's backs as they walked away, each with different thoughts in their minds.

"Are you going or am I going?"

Ping'an handed the leash to Xi Yu, and the meaning was very clear.

"The rope is in your hands, so you can do whatever you want."

Ping An lowered his head and looked at the system, the man and the dog, and then they looked at Xi Yu again at the same time.

"We are brothers from the same place. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Her Highness is just young, and even the Emperor can't influence her decisions."

The system also barked twice in agreement.

"The host is too smart, you little juice, this won't work."

"I don't understand what you mean. I'm leaving now. Remember to take the puppy to take a bath."

Ping An raised his eyebrows, one higher than the other, and looked at the puppy speechlessly, then shook his head helplessly:

"Only fools deceive others and themselves. Let's go, little dog. Let's go take a bath."

Liang Chongyue took Jing Suiyang on a tour of Shuixieju and then returned to Changshengtian.

Chi Rong was already waiting for her inside.

"Master, the Third Prince delivered a letter to the Emperor. The Emperor has agreed to allow him to return to the capital. He has already set off and will arrive in the capital as early as tomorrow evening. He has also brought a woman with him."

Liang Chongyue was not surprised at all. She sat opposite Chi Rong and poured a glass of peach blossom wine for herself and Chi Rong respectively.

In the palace, her mother watched her closely and didn't let her drink. Now that she was out, no one could control her.

"Xi Yu's new brew, try it."

Liang Chongyue took a sip, savored the aroma of the wine, leaned back, raised the corners of his mouth, and pulled up a playful smile:

"Third brother has been in poor health since the epidemic that year and has been recuperating in the imperial palace. Aside from frequently sneaking to the Fuyang Palace to visit the deposed empress, he's been restless on a daily basis. He used the things left by the deposed empress to threaten and bribe several insignificant ministers in the court into following his orders. He really thinks that with the emperor so far away, no one knows what he's doing."

Liang Chongyue picked up two pieces of cut peaches with a fork and threw them into the wine glass to soak. He would push them down when they floated up, and then pick them up again when they sank. He repeated this process over and over again, never getting tired of it.

"Do you know the identity of that woman?"

"She's an ordinary girl from a village near the Royal Villa. I've had someone investigate her, and there's nothing special about her."

Liang Chongyue shook the wine glass, watching the peach pieces inside spin, and sneered:

"Third brother will be twenty years old at the end of this year, and it's time for him to get married. Bringing a girl back to the capital at this time, which pampered noble lady wouldn't be offended?"

"Maybe it's to be presented to the emperor."

Liang Chongyue stopped what he was doing and looked at Chi Rong with amusement:

"You don't understand. Father only likes beautiful women."

Liang Chongyue carefully counted the concubines who entered the palace over the years. Taking each one of them individually, the worst ones all had bright eyebrows and white teeth, a graceful figure, and were good at singing and dancing. Talent was only a bonus, and beauty was the stepping stone.

"Then I don't understand."

Liang Chongyue couldn't guess what Liang Chongzhen was up to for a moment, so he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his eyes moving as if he had thought of something.

"Can you tell me this woman's name? And what strange things have happened to her in her life?"

"We're still investigating. The Third Prince has protected this woman's family very well. Only close confidants are allowed to approach. The neighbors have also been warned and dare not say anything."

An imperceptible gleam flashed in Liang Chongyue's eyes.

Things are starting to get a little interesting.

"Tell this to my second brother. I remember that my second sister-in-law is about to give birth. I haven't been home for a long time. Now that I'm finally back, how can I not go to see my brother?"

Chi Rong was a man of rough manners but with a delicate mind. She didn't need to say some things too often, so as not to affect his freedom of expression.

"This princess wants to know what Third Brother is up to. Since we can't get our hands on it, let's find someone else."

Chi Rong lowered his head and thought for a moment. When he looked up again, it seemed that he had figured out what to do.

"I understand, I will do it now."

Chi Rong stood up and prepared to leave. Liang Chongyue looked up and took in the layout of the Changshengtian where she lived.

"Third brother is back, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be busy building a mansion for him. Third brother hasn't been back to the capital for a long time, and there are no staff in the capital that he is used to. Sending him some people over is also a token of my gratitude as a younger sister."

"Yes, I understand."

After Chi Rong left, Liang Chongyue poured himself another glass and drank it all. When he put down the glass, Xi Yu was already waiting by the side with sobering soup.

"Your Highness, this wine is very strong. Drinking too much is harmful to your health."

Liang Chongyue listened to Xi Yu's familiar advice, looked up, and saw the loneliness in his eyes at a glance. Those beautiful and bright eyes had lost their former luster.

"Sit down and have a drink with this princess."

Liang Chongyue took another wine glass. Knowing that Xi Yu couldn't drink much, he only poured him half a glass, pushed it to the opposite side, and motioned for him to sit down.

Xi Yu looked at the used wine glass next to the half-full glass of wine, his fingers trembling slightly.
