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

Liang Chongyue sat on the recliner and made tea for herself.

She had been thinking of Chi Rong coming to tease her, but she didn't know when he would come back.

Liang Chongyue made a pot of tea, and the system told her about the friction between the three of them just now like a little snitch.

Liang Chongyue sipped the tea with a smile. Compared with Chi Rong, Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang were still too inexperienced and too confident in themselves.

However, there are not many guards who can be as cautious, meticulous and thoughtful as Chi Rong.

It's hard to find.

Liang Chongyue drank a cup of tea, and Chi Rong also came back with water.

Liang Chongyue washed her hands under his lost gaze.

Then he lay down on the soft recliner and watched the system chewing on bones.

Apart from anything else, watching it eat with a grunt can sometimes be quite relaxing and enjoyable.

Chi Rong sat beside her and added tea to her empty cup. The two of them sat there quietly and drank the whole pot of tea without saying a word. However, the system moved several times after being stared at by the two of them, feeling uncomfortable.

In the end, there was no way to hide behind the pillar and chew the big bones.

It was Liang Chongyue who took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

"Do you know why I didn't allow you to touch Liang Chongzhen? In your eyes, what does it mean for him to be fully grown?"

Liang Chongyue was playing with the jade twist in her hand, a habit she learned from her scumbag father.

Every time she was trying to figure out her scumbag father's thoughts, she would unconsciously play with the things at hand.

It’s funny to think about it now. She was raised by her scumbag father. Apart from the memories of her past life, all her talents in this life were taught by her scumbag father.

No wonder she thinks about getting to the top every day. How can a child who was raised by an eagle tolerate a pheasant getting to the top?

"I still don't understand, please explain it to me, Master."

Liang Chongyue didn't even turn his head, nor did he even glance at Chi Rong.

The clouds in the sky outside Changshengtian dispersed, and the whole sky was clear and blue.

When she first designed the blueprint for Changshengtian, she reserved such a large terrace on the second floor so that people could better watch the sky and the moon.

"Look at the sky. When the clouds disperse, the sky becomes clear. Sometimes, when people die, things become clear."

Liang Chongyue knew that Chi Rong certainly didn't understand the deep meaning of her words. After taking a sip from the teacup, she looked at the sky and talked to herself:

"Do you remember why Liang Chongzhen was sent out of the palace?"

"It's an epidemic."

Without waiting for Chi Rong to speak, Liang Chongyue answered his own question.

Recalling her childhood, even she thought that her scumbag father really hated the Dugu family, so he also disliked Liang Chongzhen.

But is this really the case?

After so many years, she finally understood how deep her scumbag father's plan was.

"Even if the Dugu family is extinct, it won't change the fact that Liang Chongzhen is a prince. Could it be that Father would really send him out of the palace for treatment just because of a few infected doctors?"

Liang Chongyue's lips curled up into a cold smile. After figuring everything out, she finally understood what it meant to be born in an imperial family, where family affection was the most indifferent.

"Father only confined the deposed empress to the Fuyang Palace because of Liang Chongzhen and Liang Zhirou's reputation. It might seem like mother and son were separated, but in reality, the Dugu clan was exterminated. If the deposed empress were still in the palace, how could the concubines she had harmed miss such a good opportunity to take advantage of her misfortune?"

"So sending the deposed queen out of the palace is not only about protecting their future reputations, but more importantly, it's about protecting them both."

After the deposed empress left the palace, Liang Chongzhen and Liang Zhirou moved into Zhaoyang Palace. With their scumbag father's people protecting them, no one could be mean to them.

"The Empress Dowager was imprisoned in the Cining Palace because my father knew everything she had done over the years. When Dugu was still around, he could only pretend to be blind. He knew everything, but could do nothing. For the sake of his descendants, he had to bear the stigma of being unfilial and imprison the Empress Dowager to prevent future troubles."

"So, on the surface, the Dugu clan is completely wiped out, leaving only two princes and princesses with royal blood, the deposed empress thousands of miles away, and the aging empress dowager deep in the palace. But in reality, these people are all crucial links in father's plan."

"Emperor Father used the epidemic as an excuse to send Liang Chongzhen out of the palace. He was gone for a full ten years. He's well-connected and couldn't possibly be unaware of everything you could find out. Yet, during this time, he didn't stop him from contacting the deposed empress, nor did he take any action to suppress his little thoughts, allowing him to grow. In the Fuyang Palace, how could the deposed empress have survived until today if Emperor Father hadn't sent people to secretly protect her?"

For a moment, she even wondered whether the sudden outbreak of the epidemic by Liang Chongzhen was the work of her scumbag father or her mother.

If it had not been the day after she complained to her mother, she would not have had any suspicions. Now that she thought about it carefully, there were doubts everywhere.

It was such a coincidence, everything was so coincidental, as if there was a pair of ears eavesdropping on what she and her mother were saying, and doing in advance what her mother might do.

"The Dugu clan has been exterminated. Will the Emperor allow the Third Prince to inherit the throne?"

When Chi Rong thought about the precarious situation of his master, the empress, and the entire Xiang family if the third prince inherited the throne, he had already planned a hundred ways to kill the third prince.

Liang Chongyue did not directly answer Chi Rong's question. As if he had been lying down for too long and his body was sore, he stood up and walked towards the terrace.

Chi Rong also quickly stood up and followed his master silently.

Liang Chongyue looked down from the terrace and just happened to see a group of fish playing in the water.

"There's fish food in the cabinet next to it. Take it out and sprinkle it on them."

Chi Rong obeyed and did as he was told. The fish food with a slightly fishy smell was scattered, and the fat and strong red carp in the lake were still swimming around slowly.

When the first fish food fell into the water, some clever red carp had already accelerated towards the direction where the food fell.

As more fish food fell, some of the fish that swam far away and were not smart enough also squeezed over.

The originally calm lake surface was stirred up by a feeding, and some of the lotus roots in the lake were broken and lay alone on the lake surface.

Born in the lake, and died in the lake.

Liang Chongyue looked indifferently at the fishes with their mouths wide open waiting to be fed, and casually took out a bunch of translucent pearls from a drawer beside him, and aimed at the most ferocious fish.

After a while, a small box of pearls was caught and the turmoil on the lake subsided a lot, but there were a lot of dead fish.

Liang Chongyue suddenly became angry and threw the white jade box in his hand into the lake. The huge impact scared away many timid fish, but there were always a few that were not afraid of death and continued to jump around the bodies of their companions.

With empty hands, Liang Chongyue stopped Chi Rong from feeding the fish and looked at the greedy big fish below with a mocking expression.

"Do you understand? The princes are like the red carp crying for food in this lake. A little favor from the higher-ups can instantly tear apart their superficial peace. The lotus buds about to bloom are like shy princesses waiting to be married. They grow up in the center of power, but they will eventually die in the vortex of power struggle."
