Chapter 1125 Extreme Wisdom Injures – And It Can Be Used Like This Too
Whether Xiang Zheng had cleaned up the dirty business in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion or not, Liang Chongyue, though not involved, was still a question.
But I do know a little bit about it.
Xiang Zheng's swift and decisive actions caught everyone off guard, almost causing the rest of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to retreat in defeat.
As for why it was able to drag on for half a year, it was somewhat related to Xiang Zheng's initial soft-heartedness.
Later, her soft-heartedness was cured by the combined efforts of everyone in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
Liang Chongyue still remembers the words the system said when it asked her to gossip.
"Take a step back and they'll take advantage of your kindness; tolerate the fibrocystic growth once."
Liang Chongyue looked at Xiang Zheng suspiciously, but Xiang Zheng showed no embarrassment at having her little thoughts seen through by His Majesty.
He still smiled and said to His Majesty:
“I see that the two children are living quite well in the palace. What His Majesty and the Empress Dowager gave to the two children is something I could not afford outside the palace.”
A palace free from intrigue and power struggles is the best place to raise children.
"You've put your mind at ease by entrusting the child to me like this."
Liang Chongyue didn't say anything to refuse, and judging from her mother's attitude, she was already prepared not long after the two children entered the palace.
They've been helping Xiang Zheng raise her child.
"Prepare more gifts for the Empress Dowager this year, and have some fun for yourself. I don't need anything else."
Liang Chongyue ended the game with a single move.
"The whole world belongs to me, and I lack nothing."
The familial affection that emperors throughout history lacked was all that Liang Chongyue had.
"I understand."
With a respectful smile, Xiang Zheng handed the tea that Aunt Yunling had just given her to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Liang Chongyue smiled as she accepted the teacup from Xiang Zheng, took a sip, and found it to be the work of an old master chef from her mother's palace.
"Has Yunling mastered it?"
Yunling walked to His Majesty's side and handed him the pastries and fruits.
"The chef in the small kitchen taught me very well, so I learned faster."
Yunling is intelligent; in other words, none of those who can stay by His Majesty's side are fools.
"This tastes really good. I'm so lucky to be with His Majesty."
Liang Chongyue thought of the grilled fish by the river.
"I haven't had much of a chance to enjoy good food while I'm with you."
Xiang Zheng knew what His Majesty was talking about.
She just smiled and didn't dare to reply.
After the game of chess ended, Liang Chongyue and Xiang Zheng discussed some political matters.
"It's getting late, the two children should be awake by now, aren't you going to go check on them?"
Xiang Zheng was standing in front of the sand table, carefully examining the new sand table that His Majesty had hand-made.
He marveled at His Majesty's power.
"Aren't they supposed to be studying with Her Majesty this afternoon? I might disturb them if I go over there, so I'll stay here with Your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue tossed an orange into Xiang Zheng's arms.
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing me?"
Xiang Zheng picked up an orange, peeled it, and handed half to His Majesty.
"Only by learning from His Majesty can I improve myself, and only then can the children's future be guaranteed. His Majesty won't send me away, right?"
Liang Chongyue simply couldn't bear to look at Xiang Zheng like that.
"So you shamelessly took over that family like this?"
Xiang Zheng ate an orange while looking up in thought.
"Not at all."
Xiang Zheng was silent for a moment.
“They need to be even more shameless than that, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to take them down at all.”
Xiang Zheng suffered all the hardships of her life at home.
After leaving the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, I realized that it wasn't raining at all outside.
“If I weren’t so shameless, I wouldn’t have been able to get the Tiger Tally, let alone in six months, or even in a year.”
When Xiang Zheng said this, her tone was light and cheerful.
But she had to resist the entire clan while defying the clan's wishes and shouldering its responsibilities.
For someone else, this path might not have been successfully followed.
They had already lost themselves on the road.
"In a few years, we will clean up all the ignorant ones. Those who cannot be killed will be sent to the border. I remember that many of the Xiang family's descendants were born on the border. It would be good for them to go back and experience the border scenery and appreciate the bitterness of the past."
Xiang Zheng knew that His Majesty would react this way when she mentioned the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
"These people have learned their lesson now; they're not as ignorant as they were at the beginning."
Liang Chongyue stared intently at Xiang Zheng.
"You know what you're doing, I won't say anything more."
Liang Chongyue murdered his father and brother, and almost everyone on the imperial genealogy who could be killed was killed.
Now that she has ascended the throne, great scholars will surely defend her.
However, Xiang Zheng had just regained everything, and her actions were too radical; it's likely that Xiang Zheng herself was unwilling to do so.
"I knew His Majesty was the best to me. Your Majesty, rest assured, these people can no longer cause any trouble."
When Xiang Zheng said this, her tone was light, but her eyes revealed a faint sadness.
Liang Chongyue saw it all but said nothing.
The message has been sent to the system.
"Go and find out what Xiang Zheng has done and what the current situation of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion is."
The system watched as Xiang Yu was in class, having just sneaked into the small kitchen to watch over his afternoon tea that hadn't yet been cooked.
Upon seeing the host's message, he silently sent over all the gossip he had previously heard.
A message was also included.
"I asked you to join me in eating melons back then, but you refused. Now these melons are all outdated."
Liang Chongyue saw a photo following the message sent by the system.
The dog in the photo is squatting in the small kitchen, guarding the stove.
"Host, would you like some? I'll bring you some too."
Liang Chongyue politely declined.
Xiang Yu has now lost weight.
The kitchen staff weren't keeping a close eye on the pastries anymore.
The pot that the system was guarding also contained a portion for the two children.
She stopped competing with the children for food.
"Take your time to study this sand table. I'm waiting to hear your brilliant plans."
Xiang Zheng viewed this matter as a test from His Majesty.
She has taken the position of Duke of Dingguo, and she cannot be just a figurehead.
She can do anything her father could do before.
She also wanted to prove to His Majesty and to everyone that she was no less capable than her father.
She didn't gain His Majesty's favor based on childhood friendship.
"Leave this matter to me, Your Majesty. Please go and rest."
Liang Chongyue was invited to the inner hall by Xiang Zheng.
Liang Chongyue sat on the daybed, her eyes closed, scrolling through the images on the panel, seemingly enjoying the show.
Xiang Zheng held the booklet in her hand, comparing it with the topographical map and the sand table that His Majesty had hand-made, simulating possible scenarios in her mind.
I wrote down all the tactics and strategies that I could use.
Listening to Xiang Zheng's incessant chatter, Liang Chongyue watched the lively scene on the panel with great interest.
What other tricks could she possibly give Xiang Zheng?
She thought Xiang Zheng was quite resourceful.
The eldest uncle agreed to let go, but he did so reluctantly.
After Xiang Zheng convinced her uncle with her abilities, she had him take her mediocre second brother's most intelligent child to Medicine King Valley to seek medicine.
Before this, Liang Chongyue had never imagined that "extreme wisdom can lead to harm" could be used in this way.
The system also thoughtfully included a note about the child's situation.
It's nothing serious, just pneumonia, but it looks serious.
