Chapter 1103 Slaughter or Exile
"Little dog, can you still eat?"
Watching Xiang Yu being chased all over the yard by the system, Liang Chongyue kindly asked Xiang Zheng a question.
"Has your son always been so vengeful and sharp-tongued since he was a child?"
Xiang Zheng looked at His Majesty. If she said that she had only just discovered it herself, would His Majesty believe her?
It seems that Xiang Yu has been holding a grudge since he was a child. After all, he was frightened by a big dog with a tooth pulled when he was only a few days old.
At that time, I couldn't speak, and even turning over was difficult.
Having bottled up her anger for so long, it's not impossible that things have turned out this way.
"Never mind, it seems Yu'er is better now, that's enough."
Liang Chongyue lowered her voice and said to Xiang Zheng:
"Wait until my annual leave is over before you start. I don't want to work overtime."
If Liang Chongyue wants to use the Lin family, he can't just sit idly by when the Lin family runs into trouble and comes knocking for help.
She just wanted to enjoy a few more days of leisure. She was an emperor; what wrong had she done?
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."
Looking at Xiang Zheng, Liang Chongyue couldn't tell if she truly understood or was just pretending.
Since she had already said what she wanted to say, and Xiang Zheng had taken so many things with her today.
If she doesn't know any better, she'll bring Xiang Sheng to the palace to raise him.
Xiang Zheng had nowhere to turn for help.
"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."
Liang Chongyue led her men toward the dining room, while the system continued to hunt down Xiang Yu.
It looked dangerous, but in reality, the system didn't use any of its full power.
They followed closely behind Xiang Yu, not giving him a chance to go inside and eat.
Even after Xiang Yu fainted from hunger, it would still ask him if he could still eat.
"Little dog, we have your favorite dishes today. When are you coming back?"
Liang Chongyue shouted outside, afraid that he would not give the system a way out.
The system's saliva could soak through every brick in the outer courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Upon hearing its host call it, the system stopped bothering Xiang Yu.
With a flourish, he turned and rushed toward the dining room.
The morning's hustle and bustle finally came to an end. Liang Chongyue finished his breakfast and prepared to send the person back.
"You should go back and prepare in advance. I still need to bring the Empress Dowager back to the palace."
They said they would pick her up this evening, but Liang Chongyue always felt that the Xiang family was in a mess.
When will Xiang Zheng finally clean up all those parasites in the Xiang family?
She took her mother back for a short stay.
"Yes, then I'll go to the side hall to pack the children's things first."
After Xiang Zheng left, Xiang Yu lay on the system's stomach and groomed it.
Xiang Sheng was watching from the side.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Xiang Sheng looked up and met His Majesty's concerned gaze, and was stunned for a moment.
"I would like to exchange some of the treasures I brought out of the private treasury today with His Majesty for something."
Seeing the child's determined look, Liang Chongyue didn't rush to agree.
"Tell me first, what do you want to change?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Sheng voiced his thoughts.
"I would like to change the cloak that His Majesty draped over me last night."
A cloak is nothing; Liang Chongyue understands that what Xiang Sheng truly values is the power bestowed upon it.
"Yes, I can trade with you. Go find Aunt Yunling and send all the ones you chose back to the private treasury, and that cloak will be yours."
If Xiang Yu were to ask, Liang Chongyue might just give him the cloak as well.
But it was Xiang Sheng who spoke, and this girl is very likely to be the future head of the Xiang family.
From now on, they will be family, and also ruler and subject.
Taking too much without working for it can easily undermine one's moral resolve.
It's better to exchange them.
Even though everything belonged to Liang Chongyue, she was still willing to go through all this trouble.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
After Xiang Sheng bowed to Liang Chongyue, Liang Chongyue gave Yun Ling a look.
Yunling immediately knew what to do.
When Xiang Zheng finished packing and came out, Xiang Sheng also returned all his gifts.
Yunling even specially changed the box to a larger brocade box to store His Majesty's cloak.
"This cloak can be altered to a smaller size, but if Miss wants to wear it, the pattern on it needs to be changed so as not to offend His Majesty's imperial majesty."
Every piece of clothing Liang Chongyue wore was embroidered, with dragons being the most common motif.
"I understand, thank you Aunt Yunling. I won't change it, and I will cherish this cloak."
Liang Chongyue boarded the carriage with his entourage. Since the little dog was also going to accompany them, there wasn't enough room for many people in Liang Chongyue's carriage.
They then split into two carriages and left the palace.
Yunling relayed Xiang Sheng's words to His Majesty.
As expected, what Liang Chongyue originally wanted was this child's desire for power.
"Just wait and see, the Xiang family is about to reshuffle the deck."
Thinking about all those parasites in the Xiang family now, they might be considered better off in someone else's home.
After all, it's about eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, but the latter two haven't been brought up yet.
However, Liang Chongyue knew in his heart that just because it didn't cause a scene didn't mean it didn't happen.
The Xiang family has a large business empire, so even if these people cause trouble in their own home, the Xiang family can suppress it.
Liang Chongyue thought of the two children. Xiang Sheng was intelligent and steady, and Xiang Yu had recovered from his fear of dogs.
It feels like I've unlocked a new skill again.
With that little mouth that never stops, who knows how many people she might offend.
But I think the Empress Dowager will like it.
Xiang Zheng felt unsafe leaving her child at home while doing a thorough cleaning.
Liang Chongyue can accept it, so it's perfect to send it to the Empress Dowager, who seems quite bored in the palace.
After Minglang went out to travel, he became even more bored.
In my mother's words, life looks glamorous, but in reality, there's no future in it.
Just look at Yu's little mouth, and his mother's life will surely be full of excitement.
When the two children grew up, Minglang returned.
Liang Chongyue dared not even think about how much hope her mother's life must hold.
After the carriage stopped, Liang Chongyue entered the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Seeing the dark circles under her mother's eyes, she knew that something must have happened in the mansion last night.
"I and my family are here to pay our respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue did not call out to her mother, but instead looked at the dark circles under her eyes and questioned her directly.
"Was things not peaceful at the Duke of Dingguo's house last night?"
Faced with His Majesty's question, Xiang Huayan was speechless.
"Your Majesty, I am feeling a little tired. Please take me back to the palace."
If the Empress Dowager speaks up, then it's a matter of the Xiang family's domestic affairs.
Liang Chongyue's keen eyes noticed the unconcealable scratches on Chai Shuo's neck.
Liang Chongyue turned to look at Xiang Zheng, who had naturally discovered it earlier than she had.
"Your Majesty, may I speak with you in private?"
The courtyard was filled with kneeling people.
Liang Chongyue didn't call out to them, but instead turned around and led Xiang Zheng out.
"After you have investigated this matter thoroughly, I will decide whether to have him flogged to death or exiled."
Although Liang Chongyue led the person out, the sound could not be covered up.
