The winter weather in Shangjing was icy cold. Concubine Liang Guifei was dressed in plain clothes and knelt on the cold bluestone ground. The coldness rushed into her body from her knees, making her tremble uncontrollably.Her face was no longer as rosy as it used to be, but turned bruised and purple, but the beauty is still a beauty, even so, her appearance does not diminish.

"...The concubine came from a humble background. When he was young, his father spent almost all the money in the family on studying. The concubine and the younger brother only had two corns to feed their hunger every day. Although the younger brother was young at that time, he always protected the concubine. , Once my concubine fell ill, my younger brother didn't eat anything for three days, so I gave all of his vegetables to this concubine. Every time I think about it, I feel sorry for him. Your Majesty, it's my concubine who didn't discipline him well, please. Your Majesty, please spare his life..."

Concubine Liang clasped her hands on the ground, her head hit the ground and kowtowed, her forehead turned blue and purple after a while.

The emperor in the imperial study was holding a vermilion pen to write instructions on the booklet. Hearing Concubine Liang's cry outside, he frowned, put down the vermilion pen and told Jiao Kangsheng, let her come in.

Jiao Kangsheng hurried out, stretched out his hand to help Concubine Liang Gui up, and said in a low voice: "Concubine, the emperor let you in."

Concubine Liang stood up and wiped her tears, "Thank you, Eunuch Jiao."

"Don't dare." Jiao Kangsheng said hastily.

Concubine Liang followed Jiao Kangsheng into the imperial study room. She was about to kneel down when she saw the emperor, but before she knelt down, she was supported by the emperor, and he sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"

Concubine Liang still knelt down, then looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and said, "Just let the concubine kneel down. The concubine did not discipline my younger brother well and made him commit so many crimes. The concubine is guilty."

Seeing this, the emperor didn't let her get up again, walked to the side and sat down, looked down at Concubine Liang slightly and said, "Concubine, do you know how many lives are in the hands of your good brother?"

Concubine Liang Gui knelt on the ground with her head on the ground and wept silently.

The emperor said again: "Twelve, a total of twelve lives."

Speaking later, the emperor's tone was already full of anger, and he continued: "There was a dispute with someone because of the sale of land, and then he killed someone. Look at a woman, that woman has a fiancée, and he killed her fiancée , there was also a little beggar who was beaten to death just because he delivered a letter... If such a person is not killed, will it still arouse public indignation?"

"Your Majesty, it's the concubines who are not strict in discipline." Concubine Liang cried on the ground, no matter how clever she was, she couldn't refute the crimes committed by Liang Jianan.

The emperor looked at her coldly, seeing that her clothes were thin, her hair was disheveled, and her face was blue from the cold, his heart softened. After all, she was a woman whom he had spoiled for many years.He said: "Concubine, you are a smart person, you should know what to choose. Your younger brother is more important, or our second prince?"

Concubine Liang Gui heard what he said, and knew that Liang Jian'an's life was really lost.Recalling the past of the two when they were young, she broke down in tears, and finally knelt down to the emperor's feet, grabbed the hem of his robe and cried: "The concubine knows that he has sinned deeply, but I beg your majesty to spare his children and family."

"The crimes he committed are not exaggerated, but for the sake of you and Jingming, he is the only one to bear the responsibility. But his wife and daughter should not stay in Shangjing," the emperor said.

The second prince's name is Li Jingming.

Concubine Liang once again fell to the ground to thank Lord Long En, this is already the best result.

"Go back, and persuade Jingming more in the future." The emperor said again.

Concubine Liang got up and was helped out of the imperial study by the little eunuch. Outside, her personal nun and maid immediately stepped forward to put a cloak on her, and put the stove into her hand.The warmth slowly returned to her body, but she burst into tears.

After returning to the dormitory and just sitting down, the second prince came.Concubine Liang Guifei saw him and said: "The emperor will not forgive your uncle, and he will execute him."

The second prince had a sad look on his face, but he was relieved in his heart.His troublesome uncle died, and he was one less trouble.Of course, he didn't dare to let Concubine Liang Gui know this kind of thinking.

"I've thought about it these days. In fact, the source of all disasters is that Meng family. If she hadn't instigated you and your uncle to fight against the Yongning Houfu, if she hadn't been arrogant, your uncle would not have fallen to the point of death. "

Concubine Liang hated her more and more, and finally said: "Go to the prison and tell your uncle to ask him to write a letter of divorce to Mrs. Meng, just say..."

"Your Majesty!" The nanny beside her called out in a low voice, as if she had something to say.

"Say it." Concubine Liang Gui was very angry when she was interrupted, and there was murderous intent in her voice.

The nanny hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to say that Mrs. Meng won't let it go."

"Why? She killed my brother, why can't she be divorced?" Concubine Liang almost lost her mind.

The nanny was already trembling nervously, but she still said: "The Meng family should be damned, but you have to think about the Eldest Miss and the Sixth Miss! Their fathers are already like this, if their mother is divorced again, how will they marry in the future?" , how to live!"

Concubine Liang's tears began to flow violently again, she also really loved her two nieces born on the same day.After crying for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then let her die."

This time the nanny didn't say anything more, letting a woman die in the inner house is the easiest thing to do.

"Make good arrangements for your grandmother's and your uncle's children. Even if they leave Shangjing, they won't have a hard time." Concubine Liang arranged for the second prince.

The second prince nodded in agreement, Concubine Liang waved him out, she got up and went to the inner room, lay down on the bed and started crying again.

.......

Mrs. Liang soon found out that Liang Jian'an was about to be executed, and that the Liang family would leave Shangjing and return to their hometown, Chunrong County.Her first reaction was that she couldn't go back with her. She lived in Shangjing since she was a child, how could she go to such a corner?

She immediately went back to Meng Mansion and discussed with her parents and brothers that she wanted to reconcile with Liang Jian'an, and she would not go to Naluoshizi Chunrong County.

But her sister-in-law said: "It's not that we can't tolerate you. Of course there is no problem with you going home after you leave, but you have to think about your two daughters. Their father was executed. If the mother wants to reconcile again, let them go home." How will they marry and live in the future?"

Second Sister-in-law Meng also said: "As parents, we don't just live for our children. Besides, although Liang Jianan was executed, the imperial concubine and the second prince were not punished. With them, the life of the Liang family will not be bad, but they are not here. It’s just living in Beijing, but where the children are, that’s our home, isn’t it?”

Mrs. Meng: "Your second sister-in-law is right. The two children will soon reach the age of marriage. How can people feel at ease without their mother watching?"

Mrs. Meng Er: "Indeed."
