Chapter 1104 Are they going to debut?
As for whether the target of this battle was to kill or exile, Liang Chongyue did not say, but Xiang Zheng understood.
In the past, she would have said these words to the Duke of Dingguo, but now it's time for someone else to take the position of head of the Xiang family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Liang Chongyue took his mother and left, without telling the kneeling people to stand up before he left.
"Mother, what happened last night?"
Liang Chongyue stirred the milk tea in her hand and poured a bowl for her mother as well.
"Now I understand why Minglang is so angry with the Xiang family for their lack of ambition."
Liang Chongyue knew that although her mother usually didn't say anything, she knew nothing.
“This is not the border. Those who came back from the border, after a long time, seeing the capital city with its favorable weather, gradually forgot their difficult situation and became arrogant.”
The Empress Dowager avoided the topic of the Xiang family last night, so Liang Chongyue was not pressed for details.
Even after the person was taken to Cining Palace, Liang Chongyue still summoned the Imperial Physician.
"Let the Empress Dowager see if she is feeling unwell anywhere."
The Imperial Physician was summoned back to the palace at this time, and he was on high alert on the way.
He almost wrote his will on the way there.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager has been in good health over the years and there is nothing seriously wrong with her.
"Your Majesty has been upset and frightened. Let her take a dose of her usual calming tea first. After Your Majesty has woken up, I will see if we need to add a few more medicines."
After dismissing the imperial physician, Liang Chongyue personally served her a cup of calming tea and helped her mother lie down.
"Mother, please rest for a while. The Xiang family has Xiang Zheng to support them, so everything will be alright."
Xiang Huayue felt a headache coming on from thinking about the mess that had happened in the Xiang family last night.
Liang Chongyue was tucking his mother in when his mother suddenly reached out from under the covers, took Liang Chongyue's hand, and sighed helplessly:
"Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu are both good children. I'm afraid that if they stay in the Xiang family for too long, those beasts will corrupt them. I've never asked Your Majesty for anything in my life. I'd be grateful if Your Majesty could send someone to bring the two children to the palace shortly."
"Stay by my side, let me witness the future growth of the Xiang family, and even in death I can die in peace."
Liang Chongyue had not expected that what happened at the Xiang family last night would have such a profound impact on her mother.
Liang Chongyue grasped her mother's hand in return and solemnly addressed her:
"Don't worry, Mother. I will send someone to fetch the two children right away. Mother, please take a nap. You will see the two children when you wake up."
With His Majesty's assurance, Xiang Huayue finally felt a bit sleepy.
After watching his mother fall asleep, Liang Chongyue got up and left Cining Palace.
Liang Chongyue instructed Fei He, who was waiting outside:
"Prepare the carriage and go there yourself to bring those two children back. Tell them it's my order to bring them back and raise them by my side. As for when to return them to their families, we'll talk about that later."
Fei He knew who the two children His Majesty was referring to were. As he accepted the order and left, the system quickly followed.
Liang Chongyue saw it but did not stop it.
"Aunt Chun Chan, please tell me about what happened last night."
Last night, only Aunt Chun Chan stayed by the Empress Dowager's side. After handing the calming incense to Chun Xiang, Chun Chan led His Majesty to the side hall.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Liang Chongyue had already drunk a cup of milk tea on her way back. She took the tea that Aunt Chun Chan handed her, took a sip, and put it down.
"Last night, when Her Majesty returned to her residence, she felt a tightness in her chest. The Duke of Dingguo sent his physician to examine her. After taking some medicine, Her Majesty lay down and fell asleep."
Seeing that Your Highness was sleeping soundly, I thought I would have the imperial physician examine you after Your Highness returned to the palace. Unexpectedly, a commotion broke out at the Duke's mansion in the middle of the night.
Chun Chan glanced at His Majesty, and seeing his cold expression and displeasure, quickly continued:
"First, Lord Chai caught a servant who had drugged the child and a relative who was trying to climb into the bed. Later, when Xiang Siye's wife gave birth, which should have been a happy occasion, the midwife switched the child with someone else's child."
If it weren't for the fact that her features didn't resemble those of the Fourth Master and Fourth Madam at all, and the Fourth Master's joking suspicion, the midwife who was switched at birth would have thought she had been exposed.
It couldn't take it and crashed into the wall.
The fourth master conducted a blood test on the spot to determine paternity, and the switched child has still not been found.
Liang Chongyue fell silent after hearing this; the Xiang family had been far too lively last night.
After a two-second silence, Liang Chongyue made a call to the system.
"Find me a child."
“Host, I’m just a dog in disguise, not a patrol dog.”
Liang Chongyue recounted the story and the system she had just heard from Aunt Chun Chan.
The system also fell silent.
"Did they ask their families for a debut? An all-star lineup?"
The system has a sharp tongue; it says exactly what Liang Chongyue wants to say.
"Have you been watching any cartoons with the kitten lately?"
The system remained silent, becoming even more so.
"Host, I'm locating the child. The child's condition isn't good. I need to get off the carriage now. We'll talk later."
The system immediately disconnected Liang Chongyue's connection and jumped off the carriage. Even when Fei He reacted and tried to reach out to grab the puppy back, it was too late.
Liang Chongyue watched as the system, after being disconnected, was shown on the panel rushing through the streets towards the child's location.
It looks like she's back to the way the system was with her on the battlefield.
"Alright, I understand. Take good care of the Empress Dowager. Once she wakes up, send someone to inform me."
Liang Chongyue got up to leave, but glanced at the palace one last time.
"Send someone to clean this place again and prepare two small beds. Xiang Sheng has grown up and is no longer a child."
Chun Chan repeatedly agreed, and the screen continued to display images after Liang Chongyue left.
The system was very fast, and the uncle discovered the child had been switched in time.
These people dared not leave the city, as the city gates were crowded with people searching for the child.
There were still many soldiers searching for someone on the road; it seemed that the Empress Dowager had used her own token to mobilize the soldiers last night.
The child was abducted at night and is now hidden in the cellar of a house in Xishi.
The cellar was full of vegetables and rats that came to steal them.
To prevent the children from suffocating, these people put the children in a basket and dropped them into the cellar.
When the system rushed in, the family was still discussing what to do about their child.
The appearance of the puppy startled these people.
"Where did this big dog come from? It looks kind of creepy."
"Could this big white dog be the one His Majesty keeps by his side?"
"Oh no, it's that dog! Run! They're coming!"
On her way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liang Chongyue activated infrared mode and glanced inside.
