Chapter 324 Secret Conversation in the Study Room
"Yunling, starting tomorrow, this princess's residence will be closed to visitors. No one except the imperial physician is allowed to enter. The person who was punished to kneel will be sent to Prince Guangling's residence to watch him kneel. He doesn't have to kneel in this princess's residence anymore..."
Yun Ling stood beside His Highness, taking note of everything His Highness had instructed her to do. After serving His Highness dinner, she prepared his nightgown and placed it on the low table beside him.
After Liang Chongyue changed her clothes, she looked at the time and saw that it was still half an hour until midnight.
Liang Chongyue walked to the edge of the terrace and looked at the moon which was completely covered by clouds. Only a few stars in the sky were still twinkling.
"Your Highness, it looks like it's going to rain."
"Summer is always rainy, but fortunately there haven't been any disasters anywhere in Daxia. I just hope this year will pass smoothly."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he reached out and pulled up his collar, covering his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Seeing this, Yun Ling stepped forward and pulled open the gauze curtain on the terrace. The wind was quite strong tonight, blowing the gauze curtain on the terrace everywhere.
Liang Chongyue jumped onto the railing of the terrace. Yun Ling was holding the gauze curtain in her hand. Before she could see clearly, the prince disappeared into the night.
Liang Chongyue walked in the wind, and when he looked up, he saw the endless darkness.
Fortunately, there were no patrolling soldiers on the Qu'an official road, so Liang Chongyue headed straight for the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, his swaying figure weaving in the wind, and his speed was not slow.
Liang Chongyue quickly arrived at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Without any hesitation, he went straight into the backyard. The next second, Liang Chongyue felt a murderous aura coming from all around.
Liang Chongyue pulled down the mask on her face, revealing a stunning little face in the darkness. Her features were easily visible thanks to the lanterns hanging around the courtyard wall.
Soon the murderous atmosphere around him dissipated. Liang Chongyue put on his mask again and headed towards his grandfather's study.
He didn't encounter any guards from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion along the way, but Liang Chongyue could always sense that there were still many people on duty in various places in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
When she first came, she didn't have this feeling during the day. Liang Chongyue frowned slightly, having a bad premonition.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at their grandfather's study. Liang Chongyue stood outside the study and knocked three times. A familiar and majestic voice came from inside.
"come in."
Liang Chongyue pushed the door open and saw his grandfather making tea. His grandfather rarely made tea himself. When he chatted with his grandfather in the past, the task of making tea was either done by the guards around him or by his uncles.
Liang Chongyue took a few quick steps, washed his hands, took the teacup from his grandfather's hand, and continued what his grandfather had not finished.
Until the first pot of tea came out, the only sound in the study was the sound of running water. She and her grandfather both tacitly agreed not to say much.
Liang Chongyue handed the freshly brewed tea to his grandfather and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation.
Seeing his grandfather taste the tea he brewed, Liang Chongyue picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Instantly, the aroma of tea filled his mouth, mixed with a faint floral scent.
Liang Chongyue put down the teacup and saw her grandfather staring at her with bright eyes, frowning, and worry in his eyes almost overflowing.
"How is your health?"
"Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. Chongyue is fine now. After taking two more doses of medicine from Doctor Qiao, he should be able to recover."
Xiang Jinsong was still a little worried. If His Majesty could directly ask Qi Deyuan to come to his house to find him, he would definitely bring the genius doctor from Yaowang Valley to treat Chongyue. Chongyue's illness this time would definitely not be a trivial matter.
He knew Chongyue's ability. Yaowang Valley was just famous, but its ability was not inferior to Chongyue at all. If Chongyue himself couldn't do anything, then the genius doctors in Yaowang Valley would probably be of no help.
Liang Chongyue looked at his grandfather who was hesitant to ask something and interrupted his thoughts directly.
"Grandfather, Chongyue came here this time because she has something important to tell you."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he lifted up the cloth bag specially sewn for his nightgown, took out the handkerchief wrapped with the Xiang family military emblem, and placed it in front of his grandfather.
Xiang Jinsong took the thing handed to him by Chongyue with doubt, opened it and saw the blood-stained Xiang family army emblem inside. His first reaction was that the Xiang family army might be in trouble.
In order to reassure His Majesty, he had to disperse the Xiang family army to various parts of Daxia. The commanders were all his confidants, and he had already arranged everything.
Xiang Jinsong reached out and picked up the blood-stained military emblem and placed it under the candlestick to examine it carefully.
Liang Chongyue was not in a hurry to speak, but felt a little distressed when she saw her grandfather with blood on his hands, pulling the candlestick in front of him and staring at it carefully.
In her memory, her grandfather has always been that tall, upright, famous and victorious general. As she grows up, the people who love her are getting older one by one.
Even my grandfather, who was able to shoot an arrow through a hundred paces, now has to keep his eyes wide open to see the details on the military emblem.
Liang Chongyue took a sip of tea in silence. As soon as she put down the teacup, she saw her grandfather looking at her with bright eyes.
"Chongyue, tell grandpa where you got this thing from?"
Liang Chongyue saw that her grandfather's expression was no longer as nervous as at the beginning, but rather a little angry. Liang Chongyue came here to tell her grandfather about this matter. Now that her grandfather asked, she told him everything that had happened in the past two days without hiding anything.
My grandfather has been on the battlefield for a long time and has seen all kinds of sinister tactics. Liang Chongyue cannot tell his mother some things for fear of scaring her.
But Liang Chongyue didn't have so many concerns when it came to her grandfather. The Xiang family chose her, which actually meant that her grandfather chose her.
She knew how difficult this road was, and her grandfather must know it better than she did.
Regardless of whether the Xiang family has really reached the point where they must make a choice, she and the Xiang family are no longer simply related by blood.
Only if she gets better can the Xiang family continue to get better. If she loses, the Xiang family will not be able to go far.
After listening to what Chongyue said, Xiang Jinsong snorted coldly.
"This incident seems to be aimed at you, but it actually aims to kill the Xiang family. It's truly a vicious plot."
Liang Chongyue listened to his grandfather's angry criticism and silently added some hot tea to his grandfather's empty teacup.
Liang Chongyue didn't hear his grandfather's analysis of this vicious plan, but he knew that his grandfather must have had his own ideas.
"But he won't be able to do it."
Liang Chongyue put down the teacup and saw his grandfather casually throw the military emblem aside. Meeting his grandfather's disdainful eyes, Liang Chongyue was puzzled, but he vaguely felt something.
Liang Chong'an spent a lot of money to make these things on his elder brother's territory, but it seems that it was all wasted.
"Grandfather, what do you mean by this? Is it possible to tell whether this military emblem is real or fake?"
