Chapter 1191 Inviting You to Come Together
"Then Your Majesty should make the decision on this matter. I will await Your Majesty's news."
Before leaving Cining Palace, Liang Chongyue reminded her mother to start packing her things as soon as possible, so that she could run away at any time.
For the next period of time, things really went as she had predicted.
With Xiang Zheng leading the way, the shrewd ministers followed one after another.
They followed suit, even though they hadn't figured out exactly what was going on.
But that doesn't stop them from digging out their old secrets to investigate themselves.
For more than a month, Liang Chongyue spent his morning court sessions resolving various problems for each family.
Almost every day, one child is carried out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It wasn't a serious offense, but it was infuriating.
One day after court, Liang Chongyue looked at himself in the bronze mirror.
"System, I feel like I'm getting old from anger."
The system hasn't been idle these days either; the host is listening to the self-examination results of these court officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It followed closely behind and provided its review conclusions immediately.
It had been a long time since it had accompanied its host to court, and it was finally able to truly understand its host's suffering.
"If I had known, I should have wiped them out back then. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't investigate further. But now I'm getting a surprise."
The system was furious, but had nowhere to vent its anger.
There were too many complaints, but then he noticed that the memorials his host was supposed to review that day were still on the dragon's desk.
It's easy to tell who has a worse fate.
"Show me how clear it is."
The system obeyed, and after the panel opened, it quickly showed Minglang eating breakfast.
"It's so nice to have beef soup to drink and milk skin to eat first thing in the morning."
The system's saliva was practically dripping down the panel onto the other side.
Liang Chongyue: "If you want to eat it, I'll have the kitchen make it for you at noon."
Thinking of this, Liang Chongyue paused for a moment, then turned to look at the system:
"I should bring a cook with me on this trip, so that the Empress Dowager won't suffer from acclimatization problems."
Upon hearing this, Kuku nodded, practically ready to raise a flag and cheer for its host.
"Take the one that's good for barbecue, and the one that's good for stir-fries too."
The system muttered to itself, thinking that there were only a handful of head chefs in the Cining Palace.
It feels like it would be a loss if any of them were missing.
The system is now deciding who to bring along and who not to bring along.
After reading Minglang's memorial, Liang Chongyue was already sitting at the dragon desk, preparing to review the memorials.
Her life was both painful and heroic.
Hopefully, this can be finished before Minglang returns.
It was half a month later when these matters were finally resolved.
Liang Chongyue lay on a recliner in Cining Palace, watching her mother instruct the palace servants to pack things up.
The image of the woman who packed her things before she was about to go to war flashed before her eyes, secretly wiping away tears while pretending to be strong, not wanting her to worry.
Even now, when the Empress Dowager is packing her things, she still has a smile on her face.
He was holding a small booklet in his hand, flipping through it and gesturing at it.
When Liang Chongyue approached, the Empress Dowager covered the booklet so she wouldn't see it.
Liang Chongyue found it amusing; nothing she wanted to see could be kept secret.
However, seeing how happy her mother was, Liang Chongyue stopped the system from pushing the panel in front of her.
"Everyone has a few secrets. Let Mother keep them."
The Cining Palace was bustling with activity for a long time, and even when Liang Chongyue was having dinner in the dining hall that evening, the liveliness had not yet subsided.
In order to adapt to their future life, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu have switched from boarding school to commuting school.
Liang Chongyue ate the fish and then picked up a piece of meat from the plate in front of his mother.
"Is the Empress Dowager planning to bring the entire Cining Palace with her?"
Hearing His Majesty's words, Xiang Huayue smiled and ate the food His Majesty had placed on her plate.
"We don't know when we'll be back yet, so we need to get ready first to avoid any chaos when we get back."
Liang Chongyue paused in her eating, swallowed, and then slowly said, "Mother Empress has a very far-sighted mind."
There's no need to clean her Yangxin Hall; Minglang has already searched every corner.
There are no secrets left.
When Minglang returns, her Yangxin Palace will be occupied.
Just leave it to Minglang.
The system was halfway through its meal when it suddenly trotted over, its massive body squeezing between Liang Chongyue and the Empress Dowager, nuzzling the Empress Dowager with its head.
Liang Chongyue understood its meaning at a glance.
Helping the system discuss with the Empress Dowager:
"The puppy hopes to take two more chefs with him on the road, or better yet, all of them."
That night, the system spent the entire night making trade-offs. When Liang Chongyue woke up, she saw the system squatting by her bedside, with various trade-off calculations displayed on the panel in front of it.
Finally, the system couldn't make a decision, so it turned around and looked at her pitifully.
"Minglang has gotten used to the dishes made in the small kitchen, so we should save some for him. I'll see what I can do about it."
The system's eyes lit up when the multiple-choice question was given to the Empress Dowager.
After resolving the system's long-standing concern about meals, Liang Chongyue finished her meal and, seeing the Cining Palace neatly tidied up, bid farewell to her mother and left.
"Host, this isn't the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, is it?"
The system follows the host around leisurely, as if it's aiding digestion.
But the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong with this road.
"Of course not, I'm going to see someone."
The system followed behind the host, watching the host enter the Kunning Palace.
From a distance, you could see a person sitting by the window. After the host went inside, the person by the window became two.
"Your Majesty, you have arrived."
Li Yu'an, unusually, did not get up to greet Liang Chongyue. He was already drunk, his eyes glazed over, with the corners of his eyes red from intoxication.
"Why are you so drunk?"
Li Yu'an stared at the person in front of him, a wanton smile spreading across his lips. He stood up, walked to the Emperor's side, and pulled him into his arms.
He rested his head on His Majesty's shoulder and held His Majesty's hand, playing with it.
"Has His Majesty come to say goodbye?"
He had even stopped using honorifics, and Liang Chongyue wondered if he was really drunk.
"You know everything?" Liang Chongyue, whose hand he hadn't grabbed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Yu'an pressed his head close to her ear and softly hummed in agreement.
The noise was not much bigger than that of a kitten.
"His Majesty no longer wants me, leaving me alone to guard this empty, square room."
As Li Yu'an spoke, a tear fell onto Liang Chongyue's earlobe.
"Who told you that?" Liang Chongyue asked softly, seemingly unconcerned about his accusations and sadness.
"The commotion of packing things up in Cining Palace is quite loud; it's hard to pretend I didn't hear it."
After saying this, Li Yu'an let out a long sigh, as if he had used up all the courage he had finally mustered.
"Then I sincerely invite you to accompany me today. Will you go?"
Feeling the person behind her freeze in her coquettish gesture, Liang Chongyue chuckled and raised the wine glass in her hand to Li Yu'an's lips.
After Li Yu'an obediently drank the wine, he poured himself another cup.
"Did Your Majesty originally intend to take me with you?"
