Chapter 468: Did You Fall? (Back Online)
Liang Chongyue brought the system to the door of the inner hall. The system followed him in consciously and stood at the door without moving. The host had to go in and endure the scumbag father's face changing faster than turning the pages of a book. It was just a dog, so it didn't need to follow in and suffer this pain.
Liang Chongyue walked around the screen and saw several more memorials on the ground. She knew at a glance that her scumbag father had thrown them down because he was unhappy.
"My sons and ministers see my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."
"Get up."
The scumbag father was reviewing memorials and didn't even have time to look up at her.
Liang Chongyue picked up the memorial and put it aside. Since her scumbag father was busy, she chose a book and sat aside to read.
After his scumbag father finished his work and put down the brush, Liang Chongyue stood up and walked into the hall.
"Fifty crossbows have been built, and the soldiers have been trained. Father, would you like to accompany me to the hunting grounds?"
Liang Zhan glanced at the bruise under Chongyue's eyes. He wondered if it was because he had been busy for several nights. It looked more serious than when he just came back from the border.
"No need. I trust you. You've been working hard lately. Now that you've visited your mother, go back and rest early. Regain your energy and come to the morning court the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, I obey your orders."
Liang Chongyue came out of the inner hall without even chatting with his scumbag father. The system was looking through the information out of boredom, trying to see what the people in the Yangxin Palace were reading so early in the morning. Not long after reading the beginning, it saw the host come out.
"Why is the host so fast today? I don't think I even heard the scumbag father speak."
The gossipy system peeked in, trying to see what the scumbag father was doing through the screen, but was pulled away by Liang Chongyue.
"I guess the scumbag dad is really busy. You lose, little dog. The scumbag dad didn't mention those dead people."
The system looked at the host's raised eyebrows. It had been a long time since it saw such a lively side of the host.
"If we lose, we lose. We haven't set the stakes."
The system knows that the host doesn't like to gamble with others, and it has never seen the host gamble with it many times over the years.
Liang Chongyue walked with the system on the palace road where the snow had been cleared, and there was a chill in his breath.
"Host, can we stay in the palace for lunch? Otherwise, it will be a long time before we want to eat the food in the Queen Mother's small kitchen again."
When the system thought of the delicious food made in the small kitchen, saliva unconsciously flowed down the corners of its mouth.
"Okay, finish what you need to check before lunch, otherwise you will definitely be lazy."
Once the system is full, it becomes too lazy to move. It will not finish its work before eating. It will take several hours for it to finish its meal before it can start working unless it is something too urgent.
When the man and the dog walked outside the Yikun Palace, Liang Chongyue happened to see Aunt Chunxiang walking out. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly saluted her:
"Your Highness, the Princess, is here. Your Highness has gone to Chunhe Palace. A concubine there has suffered a miscarriage. Your Highness will not be back until lunch."
It was not uncommon for women in the palace to be unable to keep their children. Liang Chongyue nodded slightly and let Aunt Chunxiang leave.
The moment I stepped into the Yiku Palace with the system, I smelled a faint fragrance, not like the scent of ordinary flowers, but more like the smell of spices.
"Don't investigate my scumbag father for now. Go find out what my mother has been busy with this past month and where the spice smell in Yikun Palace comes from."
Upon hearing this, the system sniffed twice, but couldn't smell the spice the host was talking about.
These improved senses are truly powerful, even better than those of a dog.
Liang Chongyue did not go to the main hall, but returned to his side hall. He had not slept all night and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
When Liang Chongyue woke up, her mother was sitting at the head of her bed, looking at her with a loving face.
"I'm awake, but I've been too tired lately. Mother sees that you look haggard."
The queen mother's hand gently brushed across Liang Chongyue's face, smoothing away the loose hair on her forehead.
Liang Chongyue smiled and shook her head at her mother:
"I'm not tired, I just miss my mother."
Liang Chongyue snuggled into her mother's arms. There was no scent of spices on her mother's body, but the familiar fragrance that made her feel at ease every time she smelled it.
But that spice must be in the Yikun Palace. The Queen Mother has a backyard full of flowers. All spices have been stopped in the Yikun Palace since the Queen Mother became pregnant with her. Sixteen years later, spices actually appeared in the Yikun Palace. There must be something strange about it.
Liang Chongyue was in her mother's arms, but her eyes were looking at the system. Seeing that the system looked unnatural, her heart sank. Before she could react, the panel appeared in front of her.
Looking at the royal heirs that appeared above and were aborted by the Queen Mother’s order in the past month, the little one was only two months old in the womb, and the pregnant concubines lost their children before they could report it.
The older one was already thirteen years old. He was playing in the imperial garden and stepped on the uncleaned snow. He fell and hit his head on a stone. He could not be saved.
Two abortions a month, this is even worse than what Dugu did in her time. At the rate the Queen Mother continues to have abortions, by the time she returns from the Northern Expedition, her scumbag father will probably have no other living children except her.
Liang Chongyue was held in her mother's arms, staring at the information on the panel. Although she had not seen the use of this spice in Yiku Palace, she had roughly guessed what it was used for.
Liang Chongyue felt mixed emotions for a moment. She knew why her mother did this, but this matter was very dangerous, and her scumbag father was not a fool.
The Queen Mother had never harmed the royal heir before, so she was not suspected of harming him twice this time. But as time went on, the royal heirs died one after another. If the scumbag father really just used her as a pawn, the Queen Mother's life in the palace would definitely not be easy.
"Mother."
Xiang Huayue was holding her daughter, enjoying the warm moment between mother and daughter. When she heard Chongyue calling her, she subconsciously responded with a light "hmm".
Liang Chongyue struggled with the wording for a while, but finally decided to speak directly to her mother.
"I have never considered my brothers as rivals. Your Majesty, do not worry about this matter. I can handle it all. Your Majesty, just wait for good news from me in the palace."
Xiang Huayue's arms around Chongyue froze. She hadn't expected Chongyue to know about this so quickly. Li Jin had done it flawlessly, and even His Majesty hadn't found out anything.
"Mother, I already know. Father's place can't be far away. However, Father has been busy lately and has not investigated further. I don't want you to do such a risky thing again."
Liang Chongyue was afraid that his mother would take another risk, so he added another sentence at the end.
"Mother is my greatest weapon, and I hope the day will never come when I will need it."
