The next morning, Emperor Dingde issued an edict to restore Qi Yuanxiu's status as crown prince, Qi Yuanshuo's status as prince, and Qi Zhengxuan's status as grandson of the emperor.

Qi Yuanxiu did not want to be the crown prince anymore and wanted to give the throne to Qi Yuanshuo, but Emperor Dingde did not agree.

His seventh son was extremely disrespectful to him and was too unruly to be the ruler of a country.

The imperial capital was as bustling as ever, and the common people were unaware of the great turmoil in the court until the emperor's edict was posted on the notice board of the government office.

In an instant, the case of the former crown prince's treason was dug up again by the people, and they tore it apart, crushed it, and chewed it over and over again.

Royal secrets are always fascinating and intriguing.

What surprised the people even more was that on the day the imperial edict was issued, the Chigua Bookstore also started selling the story version of "The Evil Concubine Liang's Rise to Wealth with Her Evil Heart".

Although Concubine Liang Shu in the book was changed to Concubine Liang E, and Duke Liang was changed to Duke Liang E, the people still knew who they were referring to.

There was a long queue in front of the Chigua Bookstore, waiting to buy books and painting albums.

Those who received the calligraphy and painting album were reluctant to show it to others. After all, they bought it with their own money, and whoever wanted to see it had to pay for it themselves!

Through the spread of books and paintings, the common people in the imperial capital all knew about the ugly things done by Concubine Liang and her family.

Whenever the Liang family went out, they were pointed at and talked about. Even the maids who were in charge of purchasing couldn't buy anything. Even if the owners of the goods were willing to sell, they would deliberately raise the price.

After the Liang family was robbed, life was already difficult, and now they were even more exhausted than they were earning.

The women of the Liang family stayed at home all day long, crying and blaming Concubine Liang and the third prince.

Liang Yueru knew that the Liang family was finished this time, so she planned to escape in the middle of the night with the younger generation in her family. However, before she even walked out of the door, she was stopped by the secret guards.

At the same time, Qi Yuanshuo had already begun trying the case of the crown prince being framed, and the prisons in the imperial capital were soon filled with those involved in the case.

Although Qi Yuanshuo hated these people very much, he still had a trace of rationality. He only arrested the main culprit and accomplices involved in the case, and beheaded them in the East Market on a certain day as a public display. He did not take such cruel revenge measures as exterminating the entire clan.

However, Qi Yuanshuo did not immediately execute Duke Liang, Concubine Liang and others. Instead, he imprisoned them in prison at night and hung them on the city gates with ropes during the day, leaving them to be "looked upon" by the people every day and to enjoy the wind, sun and rain.

Every day, he only allowed the soldiers guarding the city to feed them a meal and a bowl of water, leaving them hanging on for dear life, unable to live or die.

At the beginning, Concubine Liang Shufei cursed Qi Yuanshuo hysterically, calling him cruel and ruthless and inhumane.

After a few days, she began to cry and beg without restraint, begging Qi Yuanshuo to let her go, saying that she was so miserable, so tired, and so uncomfortable.

She said that it was her parents and wet nurse who suggested that she replace Wei Ruochun and become the beloved of Emperor Dingde, and even she was forced to enter the palace.

It is said that she got rid of the prince and the queen for the sake of survival because she was worried that Qi Yuanxiu would kill them and their son after ascending the throne.

She said she knew she was wrong and shouldn't have framed the Crown Prince and Queen Wei.

……

After hearing these words, Duke Liang became even more disheartened.

He regretted helping his daughter win favor.

He really wanted his daughter to enter the palace to help them gain more power, but they did a lot of things at the risk of their lives for this daughter, and they didn't expect to be betrayed by her now.

But it's too late to regret now, their Liang family is completely finished.

If he had the chance to do it again, he thought he would not let his daughter enter the palace again.

In order to disgust Concubine Liang Shu, Gu Qinghuai dressed Empress Wei up elegantly and beautifully and went to visit her in prison. Seeing the two women in front of her who were dressed in bright clothes and looked noble, Concubine Liang Shu was so irritated that her face was distorted. She pointed at Empress Wei and cursed: "Wei Ruochun! So what if you are proud now? In this life, your beloved man despised you, but spoiled me all my life. I have earned it!"

"Liang Shimin, you are wrong." Wei Ruochun clasped his hands and looked at Liang Shufei calmly, "Ever since Qi Dingde told me that the person he truly loves is you, I decided not to love him anymore.

The man I, Wei Ruochun, love must also love me. If he doesn't love me, I will eliminate him from my heart as quickly as possible, leaving nothing behind.

The reason why I had a child with Qi Dingde was just to borrow his sperm. I had a child for myself, not for him. In my heart, I had already given up the father and kept the son!"

Gu Qinghuai looked at Wei Ruochun with admiration, and liked his mother-in-law even more.

The mother-in-law is very much to her liking and her temperament is somewhat similar to hers!

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but didn't you still lose to me? The man you love doesn't love you, but loves me, haha..." Concubine Liang Shu slumped in the prison, a look of crazy pride on her face.

Gu Qinghuai sneered: "Concubine Liang Shufei, my mother-in-law is a human being, not a bitch. Only a bitch would hide her true nature, abandon her self-esteem, kneel down to please and cater to men in order to seek that little bit of pitiful favor, like you. What's more, Emperor Dingde doesn't love the real you, but the personality you show. The real you has an extremely smelly soul, and no one will like you."

"Gu Qinghuai, you lowly whore! I really regret not killing you earlier!" Concubine Liang glared at Gu Qinghuai and cursed her hoarsely.

Gu Qinghuai shrugged at her complacently, stuck out his tongue, made faces, and tried to make her so angry that she would die.

Wei Ruochun looked at Gu Qinghuai's mischief and smiled lovingly.

She walked closer to Liang Shufei, looked down at her, and chuckled, "Liang Shimin, you are the only one who wants a man like Qi Dingde. I have long despised him and wished he would die as far away as possible. I would love to have you help me to deal with this human trash.

Look at your current state. Did you lose, or did I? You became a prisoner, while I completely got rid of that dirty man who slept with countless women, got rid of the prison of the palace, and found the man who doted on me. I can travel freely in the mountains and rivers. I have children and grandchildren. What can you compare with me?"

Concubine Liang Shu stared at Wei Ruochun and began to tremble all over. "I didn't lose... I didn't lose..."

"Oh, by the way," Wei Ruochun added in a gentle voice, "your three sons were all demoted to commoners. The third prince became a paraplegic. As for the other two, one had his legs broken, and the other had his eyes gouged out. They were exiled to the frontier to do hard labor! This is revenge for you. Two years ago, you treated my son and grandson like this. What do you think? Are you happy to hear this news?"

Concubine Liang Shu opened her eyes wide as if she was idiot, and shook her head repeatedly, saying: "No! You can't treat my son like that! They are the emperor's biological sons, the royal blood! You can't treat them like that! You can't..."

Wei Ruochun ignored Concubine Liang Shufei and left with Gu Qinghuai.

Concubine Liang Shu was banging on the prison wall like a madman, howling loudly.
