Chapter 1243 The Brain is Too Smooth
After the meal, Liang Chongyue leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, which made Yunling very worried.
After Liang Chongyue opened his eyes, Yunling immediately advised, "Your Majesty's health is of utmost importance. Why don't we go upstairs and rest for a while?"
Liang Chongyue waved her hand and asked Ping An, who was waiting outside, "Where is the Empress Dowager?"
Ping An came in with small, quick steps:
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager returned late yesterday and has not yet gotten up."
Liang Chongyue had no time to inquire about her mother's condition yesterday, and upon seeing this, she asked:
"How was the situation at the clinic yesterday? Is Xie Hong dead?"
Ping An shook his head:
"Not yet. The poison has been delivered to Madam Li, but she hasn't used it. She just told everyone to leave and spoke a few words to Xie Hong alone. Then Xie Hong went mad."
crazy?
Liang Chongyue looked at Ping An, who received the doubt in His Majesty's eyes and then nodded firmly.
Interesting. Liang Chongyue looked at the system eating on the side. The system had been busy for a long time last night and probably didn't have time to check on the situation with the Empress Dowager.
Liang Chongyue got up and went back to the front of the house to instruct Ping An:
"When Mother wakes up, come up and call me."
Liang Chongyue was about to go upstairs to catch up on some sleep. Things were different now; her body couldn't hide its fatigue even after staying up all night.
It's no longer the state I used to be in where I could stay up for days and nights without any problems.
Liang Chongyue lifted her foot and stepped forward, but after taking only two steps, a somewhat aged voice came from behind her.
When Liang Chongyue stopped and turned around to see Li Furong, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that an unfortunate marriage was truly a woman's death warrant.
Although she is about the same age as her mother, she looks more than ten years older.
His voice sounded weak, as if he had long since exhausted himself.
"What does Aunt Li want with me?"
Ever since he dealt with the Xie family, Liang Chongyue has started referring to himself as "I, the Emperor" again.
But it's just a change in self-designation; the difference in sound isn't significant.
In Li Furong's eyes, His Majesty had always been extremely majestic.
"I have some things I would like to discuss with His Majesty."
Liang Chongyue originally planned to have the system check what Aunt Li and Xie Hong had talked about yesterday after the system finished eating.
A few words can drive a person crazy. If there weren't some unknown secrets, Aunt Li wouldn't have been as pitiful as she was when they first met.
Liang Chongyue took a step back and gestured for Li Furong to proceed.
Li Furong followed the Emperor, and Liang Chongyue invited her into her sleeping room.
Although he had only been in Qiyang for a short time, Liang Chongyue spent less time in this room than he did in the study.
Her study is currently filled with things related to Qiyang's development, so it's not convenient for other people to go in.
This was also the first time Li Furong had been in such close contact with His Majesty. Everything was fine when the Empress Dowager was around, but now that the Empress Dowager was not there, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Liang Chongyue noticed her restraint and moved a little further away from her.
To avoid making her nervous.
After Yunling came in and served tea, she withdrew, leaving the room to His Majesty and Madam Li.
Liang Chongyue wasn't in a hurry; she had just stayed up all night and still had some energy.
He took a sip of calming tea and waited quietly for Li Furong to speak.
The system was lying on its side, its eyes occasionally lifting up and moving its eyebrows, which was quite comical.
While waiting for Li Furong to speak, Liang Chongyue watched the system act silly for a while.
"Your Majesty, I have a list of Xie Hong's collusion with officials in the capital in previous years. I hope Your Majesty will accept it."
As she spoke, Li Furong took out a yellowed piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Liang Chongyue.
As Liang Chongyue took the phone, she made a call to the system next to her.
The system was ready to take a nap when a ringtone sounded in its head, startling it so much that it stood up on the spot.
The commotion startled Li Furong.
Liang Chongyue gave it a light look, and the system obediently lay down.
"Go and find out what you talked about with Xie Hong yesterday. There aren't many things that could drive Xie Hong crazy."
The system begins its investigation upon receiving the host's command.
Liang Chongyue quickly unfolded the yellowed paper, looked at the list on it, scanned it from beginning to end, and then burned the paper.
“You’ve been confined to the inner quarters by him all these years, unaware of what’s happening in the capital. Everyone on this list is gone.”
How many people were listed on that piece of paper, and what intricate relationships were involved? Li Furong had kept that paper hidden for so many years; she couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
Because she waited for the opportunity to present the paper to the emperor, but she never expected that these people would suffer retribution so early.
In comparison, Xie Hong was truly lucky to be alive.
"If there's nothing else, Aunt Li should go back and get some sleep. You look even more haggard these past few days."
Liang Chongyue didn't investigate why Li Furong only handed her the paper today; everyone would have their own considerations and concerns.
She was just a person with a tragic fate, and she didn't want to pursue the matter further.
When Li Furong stood in front of His Majesty's room, she had forgotten how she got out.
Her only worry at the time was that if she handed in the paper late, His Majesty would become suspicious.
But they forgot about His Majesty's extraordinary qualities that set him apart from ordinary people.
It turns out that His Majesty had already dealt with those corrupt and despicable officials who were trying to rise and fall in the capital.
Indeed, His Majesty's influence extends throughout the Great Xia. If the Xie family hadn't been so deeply entrenched in Qiyang, they might have been eliminated long ago.
As Liang Chongyue lay in bed, preparing to sleep, a beep sounded in her head.
So what you see when you open it is something the system just sent you; it's a screenshot of Li Furong's chat with Xie Hong after she sent everyone away yesterday.
The system also thoughtfully switches screens and provides a statistical summary of the entire chat.
The summary is as follows: as soon as Liang Chongyue opened it, the system's voice was heard.
"Before Xie Hong locked her in the inner quarters, Li Furong had already discovered the things Xie Hong had done behind her back. She pretended to be friendly with Xie Hong for a while and then chemically castrated him."
When Liang Chongyue arrived, her half-closed eyelids twitched, and then the next sound came from the panel.
"The real reason Xie Hong locked Li Furong in the inner quarters was after he realized he was no longer capable of anything."
The system's voice went on and on, even showing a timeline of the two people's relationship.
"It's true that Xie Hong is a scumbag, but Li Furong still holds a certain place in his heart. So Xie Hong hired a famous doctor and finally cured himself. This is one of the main reasons why Li Furong has been able to live until now."
Liang Chongyue squinted at the panel, looking at the absurd reasoning of the system on it.
Unable to resist, he interjected, "So you think Xie Hong has kept Li Furong until now because he loved her?"
After the system nodded, Liang Chongyue added, "Have you been working on your cerebral cortex again lately?"
