Chapter 1068 Bird's Life is at Risk
"I have already shown Qin Xiaosi the appearance of those monsters and the rest of the things. I will test him again tomorrow, and he should be able to remember them all."
Liang Chongyue sipped the warm hangover soup and gave a soft "hmm".
After finishing the bowl of hangover soup, Liang Chongyue said to Fei He:
"How many people do you think I should give Minglang for this trip?"
Fei He paused for a moment; this was not a decision he could make.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liang Chongyue lifted his foot slightly, and Fei He immediately knelt down to take off His Majesty's shoes.
"If she brings too many people, she's unhappy; if she brings too few, the Empress Dowager worries. I'm in a difficult position."
Raising children is more tiring than attending court.
If Liang Chongyue hadn't reminded her mother tonight, she would have suspected that her mother had already chosen all the people who would travel with Minglang.
Just like when she went to war with the army, her scumbag father even sent the cook to the front lines.
"What does Your Highness, the Crown Princess, think?"
clear?
What opinions could Minglang possibly have? She dared to refuse either her or her mother.
"Even if that child has something on their mind, they might not say it."
The system's secrets have been largely exposed in the face of Minglang.
Liang Chongyue had arranged for so many people in the past because he was worried about Minglang's safety.
Her only worry now is whether the clueless people she encounters on Minglang Road are too weak-willed.
Minglang barely made a move before the other side chickened out.
This shattered the sense of tension about the court situation that she had painstakingly cultivated in Minglang.
"Since Minglang has her own ideas, let's go along with them. That way, His Majesty won't have any complaints from the Empress Dowager."
Liang Chongyue put down the bowl, thought about it, and decided to forget about it.
"If I were to speak up, at most I would only receive a complaint, but if I were to tell the Empress Dowager that this was done according to Minglang's wishes..."
Liang Chongyue had already imagined what it would be like for Minglang to face his mother.
"I will go and ask Minglang tomorrow. If he really doesn't want to, then he should withdraw all those people. After all, there are Qingyu Pavilion people in every prefecture and county of the Great Xia."
Fei He understood His Majesty's words. On the surface, he withdrew his men, but in reality, he continued to protect His Highness in secret.
This way, both sides are happy, and the Empress Dowager is also at ease.
"Yes, I will send someone to release a carrier hawk tomorrow to summon the man back."
After resolving Minglang's matter, Liang Chongyue felt a bit better.
Tonight will be a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Liang Chongyue opened her eyes and saw Aunt Chun Chan as soon as she sat down in front of her dressing table.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to have breakfast."
Liang Chongyue glanced at the sky outside through the window.
Logically speaking, it should have been past the time for the Empress Dowager to eat.
"I understand. I'll be there in a bit."
Today is Liang Chongyue's annual leave. Normally, the Empress Dowager would send someone to deliver breakfast to him.
By sending someone to invite him, Liang Chongyue had a rough idea that it was because of Minglang's matter.
I just don't know what exactly the Empress Dowager wants to talk about.
"Just be casual. I'm going to see the Empress Dowager, not anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Yunling put down the hairpin in her hand.
These hairpins haven't been seen on His Majesty for a long time; His Majesty simply wears his hair tied up high.
Whatever is convenient for you.
After Liang Chongyue finished packing, she headed towards Cining Palace. On the way, she saw many younger palace servants coming out of the palace.
I took a second look.
"I remember this place used to be cleaned and swept by the old palace staff. Has it all been replaced now?"
The word "change" sounds nice, and Yunling understood the meaning behind His Majesty's words.
"The snow is heavy this year, and it snowed again last night. The old people in the palace were all sent out before the heavy snow, and a new batch of quick and efficient people were sent in to replace them."
Liang Chongyue understood; those old bastards had all committed crimes and were dealt with peacefully.
Liang Chongyue turned to look at Ping An, who was following behind her.
She didn't seem to have done anything to Ping An, so why is this kid so scared?
If Liang Chongyue hadn't had the system investigate Ping An, he would have suspected that the old man Ping An might have done something behind his back.
"A timely snow promises a bountiful harvest; it's the beginning of a new year."
Liang Chongyue didn't care whether Ping An could understand her or not, as long as Yun Ling could understand her.
Then it won't be long before Ping An understands.
Ping An had been feeling uneasy all this time, because His Majesty was a man who couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand in his heart.
This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.
I just don't know how His Majesty will deal with him.
Yunling felt helpless looking at Ping An's clumsy and tongue-tied manner.
His Majesty was willing to offer a ladder, but Ping An was so stupid. How could he be so foolish as to kick someone?
Yunling simply pushed Ping An in front of His Majesty with a palm strike.
Ping An had just regained his footing when he saw His Majesty glance at him.
"Your Majesty is right. A timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest. Next year will surely bring abundant crops and peace to all people. It is truly a blessing for the Great Xia."
It's true what they say, people's minds work incredibly fast when facing life-or-death situations.
Liang Chongyue hummed in agreement, which was considered a confirmation of peace.
Seeing His Majesty leave the road, Ping An finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if his lungs were about to jump out of his chest.
Yunling gave him a disdainful look, but then received a grateful glance from Ping An.
Yunling turned around and left immediately.
Pretending that she didn't have this younger brother, Ping An felt that she understood.
Although the snow outside had just stopped not long ago.
He understood.
He happily followed after them.
Hearing the cheerful footsteps behind her, it would be hard for Liang Chongyue not to guess who it was.
"Host, host, the kitten is calling me. It says the baby bird is much better and I want to go out of the palace to play."
The system is so fun, I don't even want to eat breakfast anymore.
"Aren't you going to eat breakfast at Cining Palace?"
Liang Chongyue rarely saw the system like this.
"The bird's life is at stake. I'll be right back, so there's no need to leave me any food."
Liang Chongyue was amused by the system.
Birds' lives are of paramount importance. I've never seen it care about birds' lives when it used to catch them in the Imperial Garden and the backyard of Cining Palace.
"Alright, go on your own. You don't need to report to me. Just remember to complete the task I assigned you."
The system then remembered that the host had assigned it a task yesterday.
The dog's smiling face, which had been grinning just moments before, froze instantly.
"Don't worry, host, I will never forget."
Looking at the system's smug expression, Liang Chongyue felt something was off.
I've never seen the system like this before when I assigned it tasks.
As long as the matter isn't urgent, the system is already considered a model worker if it doesn't make excuses.
Today I went to find the kittens running wild in the hunting grounds.
Liang Chongyue calculated that unless it snowed that day, the system wouldn't even have enough time for him to play, let alone have time to deal with these things.
"Then I will await your good news."
The system nodded at the host, the big dog, waiting for the host to wave it away.
Okay, the system says it can do the work, so she'll believe it.
As for how well he would do the job, Liang Chongyue didn't expect it.
It's good enough that it's difficult.
