The winter weather in Shangjing was cold and biting, and Liang Guifei knelt on the cold bluestone ground in plain clothes, and the cold rushed into her body from her knees, making her body tremble uncontrollably. Her face is no longer as ruddy as it used to be, but it has become bruised, but the beauty is still a beauty, and even so, it does not reduce her appearance.

“.... The concubine came from a humble background, and when she was young, her father used almost all the money in the family to study, and the concubine and her younger brother only had two vegetable nests a day to satisfy their hunger. At that time, although the younger brother was young, he always protected the concubine, and once the concubine was sick, the younger brother did not eat anything for three days, and gave all his vegetables to the concubine. The concubine always felt sorry for him every time she thought about it. Your Majesty, it was the concubine who did not discipline him well, please spare his life....."

Liang Guifei clasped her hands on the ground, her head knocked on the ground and kowtowed, and her forehead was bruised after a while.

The emperor in the imperial study, holding a red pen and writing instructions on the folding, listened to the cry of Liang Guifei outside, frowned, put down the red pen and said to Jiao Kangsheng, let her in.

Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly went out, personally stretched out his hand to help Liang Guifei up, and said in a low voice: "Guifei, the emperor let you in." ”

Liang Guifei got up and wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Jiao." ”

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

Liang Guifei followed Jiao Kangsheng into the imperial study, and when she saw the emperor, she was about to kneel, but before she knelt down, she was supported by the emperor, so she heard him sigh and say, "Why do you bother." ”

Liang Guifei still knelt down, and then looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and said, "You just let the concubine kneel, the concubine didn't discipline her brother well, let him commit so many crimes, and 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 Liang Guifei slightly, and said, "Guifei, do you know how many lives your good brother has in his hands?" ”

Liang Guifei knelt on the ground, her head pressed to the ground and wept silently.

The emperor said, "Twelve, a full twelve lives." ”

Speaking of the latter, the Emperor's tone was already filled with rage, and he continued: "There was a dispute with a man over the sale and purchase of land, and then he killed them. I saw a woman, the woman had a fiancé, he killed the fiancé, and a little beggar was beaten to death because he sent a letter.... If such a person is not killed, will he keep it to arouse the anger of the people? ”

"Your Majesty, it's the concubines who are not strict in discipline." Liang Guifei fell on the ground and cried, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't argue with the crimes committed by Liang Jian'an.

The emperor looked at her coldly, seeing that her clothes were thin, her hair was messy, and her face was also blue from the cold, her heart was still soft, after all, she was a woman who had been spoiled for many years. He said: "Concubine, you are a smart person, you should know the trade-offs. Is your younger brother important, or is our second prince important? ”

When Liang Guifei heard him say this, she knew that Liang Jian'an's life really couldn't be saved. Remembering the past of the two of them when they were young, she wept silently, and finally knelt at the emperor's feet, grabbed the corner of his robe and cried: "The concubine knows that he is guilty of great sin, but I beg Your Majesty to spare his children's family." ”

"It's not an exaggeration to exterminate his family and clan for the crimes he committed, but for the sake of you and Jingming's face, he is the only one who bears the blame. But his wife and daughter should not stay in Shangjing. "The emperor said.

The second prince's name is Li Jingming.

Liang Guifei once again bowed to the ground to thank Lord Longen, which was already the best result.

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

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

As soon as I sat down after returning to the dormitory, the second prince came. When Concubine Liang saw him, he said, "The emperor does not forgive your uncle and will be executed." ”

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

"I've thought about it these days, in fact, the source of all the disasters is the Meng family, if she hadn't instigated you and your uncle to oppose the Yongning Marquis Mansion, if it weren't for her arrogant temperament, your uncle would not have fallen to the point of death."

The more Liang Guifei spoke, the more hated she became, and finally said: "You go to the prison and tell your uncle to ask him to write a letter of resignation to the Meng family, and just say..."

"!" The grandmother beside her shouted quietly, as if she had something to say.

"You say." Liang Guifei was very angry when she was interrupted, and her voice was full of murderous intent.

The grandmother hurriedly knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid wants to say that the Meng family can't rest." ”

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

The grandmother was already trembling nervously, but she still said, "Then Meng Shi should be damned, but you have to think about the eldest lady and the sixth miss!" Their father is already like this, if their mother is divorced again, how will they marry and live in the future! ”

Liang Guifei's tears began to flow again, and she really loved her two nieces. After crying for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then let her die." ”

This time the grandmother didn't say anything more, it couldn't be easier to let a woman die in the inner house.

"Make good arrangements for your grandmother and your uncle's children, even if they leave Shangjing, they can't make it difficult." Liang Guifei arranged for the second prince to say.

The second prince nodded yes, Liang Guifei waved his hand to let him out, she got up and went to the inner room, and began to cry again after lying on the bed.

.......

Second Mrs. Liang soon learned that Liang Jian'an was going to be executed, and the Liang family was going to leave Beijing and return to their hometown Chunrong County. Her first reaction was that she couldn't go back, she had lived in Shangjing since she was a child, how could she go to that kind of corner?

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

But her sister-in-law said: "It's not that we can't tolerate you, you naturally don't have any problems going home after leaving, but you have to think about your two daughters, their father was executed, if the mother wants to reconcile and divorce again, how will they marry and live in the future?" ”

Meng's second sister-in-law also said: "We are parents, but we are not just for our children to live. Besides, although Liang Jian'an was executed, the concubine and the second prince did not receive any punishment, with them, the life of the Liang family will naturally not be bad, but they don't live in Beijing, but where the children are, where is our home, isn't it? ”

Mrs. Meng: "Your second sister-in-law is right, the two children will soon reach the age of kissing, how can people rest assured that there is no mother watching by the side?" ”

Second Lady Meng: "That's true. ”
