Chapter 1126 Even I Can't Save You
And then there were the few who were still unruly after being taken back by their uncle.
Xiang Zheng sought out local officials to thoroughly investigate and punish these people for all the outrageous things they had done over the years under the name of the Duke's Mansion.
When the eldest uncle was preoccupied with his own problems, he naturally had no time to care about the lives of these people.
The people are still locked up in prison.
My uncle's child was almost switched at birth.
Now I spend all my time with my aunt and the child, staying by their bedside except when they are eating or sleeping.
I'm terrified that what happened back then will happen again.
Now that the children are older, the uncle has entrusted all his business to Xiang Zheng.
Xiang Zheng now holds all the power and business of the Duke's mansion.
As for the rest, my second uncle has always been indifferent to such power and influence.
If his maternal grandparents weren't still alive, he would only want to live a carefree life.
As for the third uncle, he had already left the capital with his whole family on the very day the incident broke out.
My third uncle has his own business in another city, and it's clear that his life is much better than it was in Beijing.
As for this matter, Xiang Zheng dragged it out for half a year; family matters were not the most serious issue.
The main reason is the intricate relationships and interactions between the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and the outside world over the years.
These things are much more troublesome than the affairs of the Duke's mansion.
Only after all the melons had been eaten did Liang Chongyue close the panel.
Xiang Zheng finished her work and handed the booklet, which was filled with writing, to Liang Chongyue.
After Liang Chongyue finished reading it, he nodded to Xiang Zheng.
"Very good, you have learned the knowledge from books very well. When I take you to the battlefield, you will be able to write this booklet even better."
Xiang Zheng also knew what she lacked.
When the officials in the court pointed out her shortcomings, she did not refute them.
"Yes, then I will go back and practice martial arts diligently. When that day comes, I will definitely capture all the monsters and bring them back."
After Liang Chongyue carefully put away the booklet that Xiang Zheng had written, he placed it on the dragon's desk.
"Let's go, it's almost time. The two children should finish their studies for today."
When Liang Chongyue brought Xiang Zheng back to Cining Palace, the two children were doing their homework.
Xiang Yu was younger, and while doing his homework, he would occasionally glance outside the hall.
Whom we are waiting for needs no words.
Xiang Sheng was a few years older, and he would only look up at the outside of the hall for a short while after finishing a lesson.
They call it relaxing.
If Liang Chongyue hadn't seen Xiang Zheng's eyes light up even more than Xiang Yu's the moment she saw him, she would have believed in Xiang Sheng's composure at such a young age.
Leaving the inner palace to Xiang Zheng and the child, Liang Chongyue waited with her mother in the outer palace.
The system had already fallen asleep at the Empress Dowager's feet.
“I remember when Your Majesty was in class, the little dog would stay with you the whole time. But now that it’s Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu’s turn, the little dog gets sleepy after listening for only a short while.”
Xiang Huayue reached out and patted the puppy's head twice.
"Maybe it's because I'm getting older; I'm not as interested in everything as I used to be."
In fact, Liang Chongyue suspected that the puppy had eaten too much and had fallen asleep due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Time flies. Minglang has already been traveling for more than half a year."
Knowing that the Empress Dowager wanted to make things clear, I calculated the time.
"Minglang should be sending a letter back soon, Mother. You can read it first then."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he quietly kicked the system.
The system was kicked awake, and in a daze, it opened the panel and checked what had happened.
The sticky, gooey creature began to harass the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was just thinking about Minglang.
The next second, I was completely overwhelmed by the puppy.
They started teasing the puppy with pastries.
The system started eating as soon as it opened its eyes, and it was in a great mood.
After dinner, Liang Chongyue played chess with his mother.
Xiang Zheng was with her two children.
"I've been thinking that the two children have been in the palace for quite some time now. A-Zheng told me today that Chai Shuo misses the two children. Why don't we take advantage of the cool weather now and let the two children go back to play for a while before bringing them back?"
Although Xiang Zheng didn't say it explicitly to Liang Chongyue, Liang Chongyue understood what she meant.
I thought my mother wouldn't refuse, but I saw her frown.
"Let's wait a little longer. Xiang Zheng has just inherited the title, and there may be some dissatisfaction in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. For the sake of the two children, let's wait a little longer."
Liang Chongyue thought about what she had seen while watching the drama unfold.
It was indeed inconvenient to let the Empress Dowager know.
Then forget it, there's no rush.
"Then let's do as Mother says. I think Xiang Zheng and the child will understand."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he began to watch his mother play with the puppy.
The system seems to be enjoying its meal.
The Empress Dowager's hand paused.
"It wouldn't be good to separate the two children from their father for too long. I remember that Xiang Zheng owns quite a few properties in the capital. As long as they don't bring them back to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, I won't object."
Liang Chongyue knew that her mother would soften her heart.
"Very well, I will discuss this matter with A-Zheng tomorrow and let her make a decision."
When Liang Chongyue left the main hall of Cining Palace that evening, she saw that several palaces in Cining Palace were still lit up.
After standing there for a while, he finally left.
"Is Your Majesty thinking of Her Highness the Crown Princess?"
The moon was round and bright tonight, so Liang Chongyue was not in a hurry to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
“When Minglang was little, Cining Palace was even more lively than it is now. Now the children have all grown up and gone elsewhere.”
Liang Chongyue strolled with Yunling through the Imperial Garden, admiring the late-blooming lotus flowers.
It still looks beautiful under the moonlight.
“Once Her Highness the Crown Princess’s child is born, His Majesty’s Hall of Mental Cultivation will probably be even more lively than the former Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Chongyue merely tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled.
I don't know when that day will come.
She was too lazy to help take care of Minglang's child.
When Minglang had a child, she put him in charge of the country.
She hadn't had a proper look at the vast land of the Great Xia Dynasty yet.
"I see these lotus flowers are in full bloom. Peel some lotus seeds for me tomorrow."
Yunling smiled and agreed.
Liang Chongyue enjoyed the evening breeze for a while before returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The next morning, Liang Chongyue got ready and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, only to find that the spot where Minglang used to stand waiting for her had been taken by someone else.
"How did you sleep last night? Did the two kids bother you?"
Xiang Zheng chuckled helplessly; Liang Chongyue could tell just by looking at her dark circles.
"It's because you don't often go to the palace to be with your two children, otherwise they wouldn't be clinging to you like this."
Xiang Zheng was speechless after being spoken to by His Majesty.
"Alright, stop acting like you owe someone three million taels of silver. I've already spoken to the Empress Dowager on your behalf."
Before Liang Chongyue could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xiang Zheng's eyes lighting up.
"What did the Empress Dowager say?"
"The Empress Dowager said that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion is not completely peaceful yet. You must take the child out of the palace and cannot live in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion."
At this point, Liang Chongyue paused and added:
"If the two children return injured, you'll be in for the Empress Dowager's wrath; even I can't save you."
