Chapter 1258 A Ghostly Encounter in the Middle of the Night
Li Shanyan was deeply grateful for His Majesty's extraordinary favor.
Liang Chongyue left after he repeatedly kowtowed.
On his way back to his study, Liang Chongyue listened to everything that had happened at the clinic.
Fei He: "The guards didn't hear clearly what Li Shanyan and Xie Hong were talking about, but when they rushed in, they saw the painting that Li Shanyan had placed on the table."
The painting depicted a scene resembling the Xie family's front hall littered with corpses. Presumably, it wasn't something verbally provoked; Xie Hong was likely triggered by the painting itself.
Li Shanyan went prepared, and he probably spent the whole way thinking about how to deal with the Xie family.
"So be it. The Xie family deserves to be wiped out. Xie Hong won't live much longer even if he doesn't die today."
Liang Chongyue has been too busy lately and has really forgotten about him, which is why he has lived a few more days.
But it's all good, it lets Li Furong see it all and finally vent the pent-up resentment she's held in her heart for decades.
Try to be more open-minded in the days to come and stop trapping yourself in the past.
In this way, when the Empress Dowager returned to the capital, the two could still meet often, reminisce about the past, and talk about what they used to be like.
Many of the Empress Dowager's close friends from the past have already passed away; in this era, longevity is still a minority.
After Li Yu'an and Fei He finished packing, Liang Chongyue set off with his mother.
It is only when we travel to Huaixiang City, which is a hundred miles away from Qiyang, that we can truly be considered a border town in Jiangnan.
Once you leave Huaixiang City, you've truly left Jiangnan.
"I've heard that the locust flowers are everywhere in Huaixiang City. It's a pity that it's not the season for locust flowers to bloom now, otherwise I could have seen the magnificent sight of the whole city in full bloom."
It was a rare sight to see flowers blooming all over the city. Seeing his mother sighing, Liang Chongyue slipped a tea snack into her hand.
"Mother, there is no need to feel regretful. I am not in such a hurry to leave Qiyang. I will definitely let you see the city full of blooming locust flowers."
Minglang was drawn there by the sight of the city full of blooming locust flowers; he witnessed that beautiful scene with his own eyes.
Liang Chongyue also saw the beautiful scenery in Minglang's eyes in the screen brought up by the system.
At first glance, she knew that her mother would like Huai Xiang City. Now that she had the opportunity, she would have to stay in Qiyang for a while. She already had some unresolved matters to attend to, and time was passing very quickly, so a few more days wouldn't hurt.
Having grown accustomed to being protected and cherished by His Majesty over the years, Xiang Huayue exchanged a smile with His Majesty upon hearing these words, unable to conceal the joy in her eyes.
The sun has set outside, and the temperature has dropped.
Liang Chongyue was applying mosquito repellent from the system store to her mother in the carriage, and the effect was extremely good.
They're not cheap, each bottle costs three Qi coins, and now the price has gone up to ten Qi coins.
When the system first saw this, it even shared with her that the main god was desperately short of money.
Later, when the system saw on the forum that it was cursing the main god for cutting off people's livelihood, it realized that such a powerful product was not just mosquito repellent, but also some other things.
In most parts of the world, even a small bottle can sell for a considerable price.
Moreover, you can see the ingredient list after buying a bottle, and then resell it. Some hosts have made a fortune by relying on these inconspicuous little things.
Only then did the system's main deity intervene and regulate the prices in the system's shop.
"This stuff is good; it's much more effective than those mosquito-repelling sachets made by the Imperial Hospital."
As Xiang Huayue sighed, the carriage suddenly braked. If Liang Chongyue hadn't reacted quickly and shielded his mother in his arms, she would have been saved.
The Empress Dowager is about to be injured.
After calming her mother down, Liang Chongyue heard Fei He's voice outside the carriage.
"Your Majesty, the carriage in front has run over someone. Why don't you get down and take a look?"
Fei He's voice sounded off, and even the system heard it and slowly stood up from the carriage and jumped down.
The system walked towards the first carriage, wanting to see what was going on. Having just woken up, it was still muttering to itself:
"This is a horse-drawn carriage, not a four-wheeled rickety cart. It's traveling slower than I can walk at night. Who could it possibly run over? Why is Fei He reacting so strongly?"
Liang Chongyue left his mother in the carriage, where a group of people were guarding the outside. Liang Chongyue then got out of the carriage.
Fei He stood outside the carriage, looking at her with a strange expression.
Just as Liang Chongyue was wondering what was going on, the system's voice rang out again, but this time it was noticeably louder.
"Holy crap, host, come quick! Someone's suddenly appeared out of nowhere!"
Liang Chongyue followed the sound from the system and found a man surrounded by a group of guards.
The man sat on the ground, covered in blood, and dressed in mismatched clothes.
The system lay prone among the guards, its rear end sticking out, its head lowered, and then looked up at the man.
Just by looking at the system like this, Liang Chongyue could imagine that when the system came over, it must have been muttering, "Let me see what's going on."
As Liang Chongyue approached, the guards instinctively made way for her.
The man sitting on the ground looked up at that moment, and for a moment Liang Chongyue thought she had gone blind.
The moment the man looked up, Liang Chongyue closed her eyes, then opened them again two seconds later.
The person in front of me hasn't changed at all.
Liang Chongyue snatched the torch from the guard beside her and approached the man.
The man tried to back away from the heat of the torch, but the guards held his shoulders firmly, preventing him from shrinking back.
Liang Chongyue now understood what the system's scream meant.
The air seemed to freeze, and Fei He stood to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
He looked at the person sitting on the ground, and then at His Majesty.
At this moment, the system, unafraid of death, came over and asked, "Host, what do you think? Don't you look exactly like your scumbag father when he was young?"
Liang Chongyue silently admitted that she and the system had watched her scumbag father's life together, so it was impossible for her to mistake this face.
Fei He has been with her scumbag father since she was very young.
There's no way you could mistake that scumbag father's charming face.
She really does resemble her scumbag father when he was young.
Although Liang Chongyue remained silent, she quickly calmed down.
Even if he's just like his scumbag father, his father has been dead for almost twenty years.
Apart from their faces, they bore no resemblance whatsoever to the disheveled man before them.
"Who are you? Why did you bump into my carriage for no reason?"
Jiang Yubai felt a chill run down his spine when he met the sharp gaze of the person in front of him.
"I'm......"
Before he could continue, a sound came from the woods nearby. Liang Chongyue glanced warily at the woods from which the sound came.
Fei He waved his hand, and immediately some guards entered the woods. In a short while, they dragged out several burly men from the woods and brought them before Liang Chongyue.
"My lord, spare us! My lord, spare us! We are hunters from a nearby village. We just didn't expect to see a carriage traveling through the woods in the middle of the night. We were just curious and came to take a look. We had no other intentions."
