Chapter 1150 I will naturally plan for my daughter
"I only took fifteen lashes, I won't die. Once my injuries heal and those troublesome soldiers are gone, I can settle down in the camp outside the capital."
This is already a result of His Majesty showing leniency.
Logically, he should have been given twenty strokes of the cane.
She sent almost all of her father's confidants to the border.
Those few who remained to fight for her reputation, without their leader, could no longer cause any trouble.
“Sheng’er is ten years old this year. Keeping her in the palace is not a long-term solution. She will need to enter the military camp for training as soon as possible. How can I let her train if I don’t clean up this camp in the suburbs of the capital?”
When her daughter was mentioned, Xiang Zheng's expression softened.
Despite the pain, the sweat beading on his forehead didn't look disheveled.
"Madam has devoted herself to the two children. I am deeply grateful to Madam for her kindness. I will also work hard, as it is not good for Madam to support this family alone."
The two looked at each other inside the carriage, their eyes both red.
Xiang Zheng was in pain, while Chai Shuo felt half heartache and half gratitude.
Three more months passed peacefully, and Liang Chongyue now wore a cloak when he went out to court in the morning.
After the morning court session, three months later, Liang Chongyue received another letter from Minglang.
"Just these two?"
Liang Chongyue waved the letter in front of Ping An.
Given Minglang's previous habit of sending four or five letters a month, the frequency of only two letters in the past three months is indeed a bit low.
Ping An nodded: "This servant also asked if any letters had been missed in the previous three months, and the messenger said no, so I brought them to Your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue opened the letter, read it, and then delivered the letter that Minglang had given to his mother, the Empress Dowager, to her.
I picked up my pen and began writing a reply to Minglang.
After reading the letter, she understood why Minglang had taken so long to reply.
First, the distance was getting farther and farther. After visiting several prosperous prefectures and counties near the capital, Minglang was getting further and further away from the capital.
Nature was far more desolate than the capital.
The various things that happened along the way, just from reading the few hurried lines in the letter, make me feel that Minglang could write several books about it when he returns.
Secondly, this child has seen and learned a lot these days, and the content of his letter is more concise than before.
The difference before and after is quite significant. If it weren't for Liang Chongyue being able to see the situation clearly at all times...
She was starting to suspect, just like her mother, that Minglang had been tied up.
Liang Chongyue wrote his reply with a smile, already imagining how his mother would react when she saw it.
In the letter, he specifically wrote: "Just do everything as you used to do, however you've suddenly grown up. Your grandmother might not be used to it and will be worried."
Sure enough, that very evening he received a message from his mother inviting him to dinner.
Upon arriving at Cining Palace, there were two children with them. After dinner, the two children withdrew.
Liang Chongyue waited for her mother to speak.
Xiang Huayue didn't mince words and asked directly:
"What happened to Minglang along the way? She seems off in the letter; could it be that she...?"
Xiang Huayue didn't say anything more, but the worry in her eyes was unmistakable.
Liang Chongyue took out the letter, which she had already warmed from her bosom, and handed it to her mother.
"This was sent to me by Minglang. This child is aware that he has experienced a lot and should be more calm and composed. Mother, take a look and see if this is what I mean."
Xiang Huayue quickly took the envelope from His Majesty's hand, feeling the lingering warmth of it.
After reading the letter, the sorrow in my eyes lessened somewhat.
His brows were still furrowed.
"I plan to send someone to follow the messenger to check on Minglang, and also to deliver some rare medicines and elixirs to help her on her journey of chivalry."
As he finished speaking, Liang Chongyue couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He shook his head helplessly: "Who told me to give birth to such a troublesome child?"
His Majesty's words finally amused Xiang Huayue, who looked at him with a hint of expectation.
"Mother, please pack some things and send them to Minglang as well. Also, send some to the girls around Minglang. Although I cannot ask their families to prepare these things, they were raised by Mother when they were young. If Mother helps them prepare these things, it will ease their longing."
This brilliant idea was exactly what Xiang Huayue wanted to hear.
"Then I shall respectfully comply."
Seeing the joy on his mother's face, he was as happy as if he had eaten an elixir of immortality.
"The messenger will depart in five days. Mother, you must make sure you are well prepared. Once they leave, they will not come back to retrieve anything they may have forgotten."
Xiang Huayue gave His Majesty a reproachful look.
"I know the sun is getting colder and colder, so it's good to send some things over sooner rather than later."
When Liang Chongyue left Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was already packing her things.
Even after leaving the Cining Palace, Liang Chongyue could still hear her mother instructing people to prepare things to be sent to Minglang.
"The Empress Dowager still loves the Crown Princess as much as ever."
Yunling walked ahead of Liang Chongyue, carrying a lantern in her hand.
Liang Chongyue smiled upon hearing this.
"The little trinkets that Minglang sent back have all been hung in the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager. I saw them all, didn't you?"
Yunling lowered her head and smiled faintly.
She had seen it, of course, but it was against the rules, so she couldn't mention it to His Majesty.
This shows the Empress Dowager's affection for Her Highness the Crown Princess; His Majesty would not stop her if he saw it.
"This servant is blind and has made Your Majesty laugh."
After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liang Chongyue did not rush to rest, but instead wrote a list and handed it to Yunling.
"According to the instructions here, it should be sent to Minglang. Make sure it's wrapped up securely."
After Yunling left with the form, Liang Chongyue wrote another one and gave it to the system.
"Prepare a copy according to what's written on this list, and send it to Minglang."
The system also received an order as long as Aunt Yunling's, and after carefully reviewing it, it clicked its tongue in amazement.
They've started getting busy too.
The system is extremely fast; these items were originally purchased from the online store.
If it weren't for the fact that I got addicted to buying things through the system...
These things should all be ready by the time Liang Chongyue wakes up from her nap.
It didn't even take five days; on the third day, the Empress Dowager sent everything over.
There were only five packages on the table.
Liang Chongyue opened the packages and looked at them. Her mother seemed to have anticipated that she would prepare elixirs for Minglang, as the contents of the five packages were all quite similar.
It looks like it was specially prepared for five children.
Liang Chongyue retied the package and handed it to Yunling.
"Tell them to take it easy on the journey, there's no rush of ten days or half a month."
Yunling smiled and agreed. She led her people to take the five packages, along with the items the Emperor had ordered, and delivered them to the Crown Princess's location.
