The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 47: Stripped of Title and Imprisoned

Li Dinghong and Chu Jingguo were so embarrassed by Lan Ruyun's rebuttal that their faces turned pale. They were also very angry.

“Your Majesty, Duke Liang is an important minister of the country, but he knew the law but broke it. He and the eldest princess indulged their daughter in crime, and condoned his lieutenant general to persecute the princess. He is also an instigator, and his crime is even more serious.” Feng Xiangyu stepped on Liang Boshan with all his might. If he crushed Liang Boshan to death, the prince would lose an arm.

Liang Boshan knew that if he didn't take full responsibility for the matter, his wife and children would be implicated: "Your Majesty, all of this was done by this old minister alone. I am willing to accept the punishment."

“Your Majesty, my sister has been persecuted by the Liang family all her life. If Your Majesty does not give justice to me and the Lan family, and to those innocent people who were killed by the Duke of Liang and the Princess in the name of the plague,

The Lan family will resign from the court and return the border to the royal family. I also ask the emperor to order the Crown Princess to divorce the Crown Prince, the Princess to divorce me, and the Lan family to hide among the people. "Lan Ruyun's resolute words shocked the court.

Mu Liangcheng didn't expect that his brother-in-law would take his wife away and also let his sister divorce him. He couldn't tell how he felt. The trouble caused by his aunt and uncle would eventually implicate them.

Liang Zichu gritted his teeth, not daring to beg for mercy or say a word, feeling filled with remorse. His parents would end up with their family broken up because of his sister.

"Father, does General Liang also know about what happened back then? If he knew about it but protected her parents, his crime is unforgivable. Please, father, give justice to the young princess." Mu Liangfeng dragged Liang Zichu into the water as well.

"I beg the emperor to do justice for the princess and not to disappoint Prince Nan'an and the Lan family, who are loyally guarding the border for the Southern Kingdom." Feng Xiangyu also followed suit, determined to eradicate the Liang family.

The emperor was very upset. If he didn't deal with his sister and brother-in-law today, he wouldn't be able to save Zichu. If the news got out, people would only say that he was a member of the royal family, bullying others by taking advantage of his power, and chilling people's hearts.

"This matter was caused by Concubine Liang. Duke Liang and the eldest princess stole the little princess and harmed her for their own selfish reasons. Regardless of whether the little princess is still alive, Duke Liang and the eldest princess have violated the laws of the Southern Kingdom. They will be stripped of their titles of Duke Liang and the eldest princess, and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

According to his age, General Liang was still young at the time and should not have known what his parents had done. The Ministry of Justice will conduct a thorough investigation and personally try him. I will make a decision after the truth is revealed. I will withdraw from the court...!" The emperor directly ordered his brother-in-law's title to be stripped and his sister's title of princess to be imprisoned, but Liang Zichu was spared and the Ministry of Justice will conduct the trial.

"I, your honor, accept the order." Chen Shuchen came out to accept the order.

The ministers dispersed only after the emperor left the palace. However, they were all troubled. They had never expected that Liang Boshan was such a hypocritical person, but what he did was so inhumane.

Lan Ruyun felt very upset, looked at Mu Rongchen and Liang Zichu, and left angrily. He didn't want to kill them all, because on one side was his wife Mu Liangyan, on the other side was his sister, and on the other side was a friend who had been through thick and thin with him.

How did Mu Rongchen feel? The girl he was going to marry was actually the daughter of the King of Nan'an, and he was tricked by his brother-in-law.

Liang Boshan knew when to stop, thinking that it was already a blessing that the emperor could save his son, and took the initiative to follow Chen Shuchen to the Ministry of Justice prison.

Lan Ruyun asked Zhong Lian to leave Beijing and go to Dingyu County yesterday. Mu Rongchen naturally sent someone there as well. The Liang family asked Xiao Hua to secretly search for Lin Xi. For a while, undercurrents were surging in Beijing.

As soon as Mu Rongchen left the palace, Zhao An called him to the imperial study. Seeing his brother's angry face, he felt helpless. This happened so suddenly and urgently, and it was obvious that everything was planned by someone in the dark.

"Eleventh, my royal brother finally understood why the queen mother did not agree to give the position of princess to Liang Zihan. She must have seen through her bad nature a long time ago. When the time comes, you can think of a way to find a death row prisoner to replace my sister." The emperor did not want his sister to accompany Liang Boshan to die.

“Okay…” Mu Rongchen agreed. He didn’t want his sister to lose her life, and he was even more worried that his mother would not be able to bear the blow if she knew about it.

"My royal brother will handle the matter with the Queen Mother. You can go back now." The emperor asked his brother to leave.

Mu Rongchen knew that his brother was angry at the moment, so he had to leave. Lan Ruyun's words were so decisive. If it was not handled properly, it would cause turmoil at the border.

Mu Rongwan regained consciousness and was almost frightened to death when she learned that she had revealed Zi Yu's life experience. When she heard her mother say that her daughter was poisoned and there was no cure, she ignored her own health and went to the palace to see her daughter. She almost fainted when she saw her daughter's condition and cried very sadly.

After leaving court, Li Dinghong brought his wife and two children to Prince Rong's mansion to see Liang Zihan. Chu Jingguo also came to see Liang Zihan with his wife and children.

Everyone followed Mu Rongchen to Liang Zihan's room and saw Mu Rongwan crying sadly. Then they were frightened to see Liang Zihan unconscious and dying on the bed with festering skin on his face. Several girls were so disgusted that they almost vomited.

"Mom, what kind of poison did Concubine Liang get? Why is her face so rotten? It's so scary." Li Yunxi asked her mother timidly.

"Yunxi, stop talking nonsense." Chu Feng scolded his daughter and motioned for her and the eldest daughter to go out. Li Yuner quickly pulled her sister away.

"Mother, Huanyu and I are waiting for you outside." Chu Enyu said to her mother, and took her sister away. Liang Zihan's appearance was really disgusting. She was afraid that she would vomit and make Prince Rong unhappy and ruin her image.

Li Yunfan looked at Liang Zihan's condition and asked with great concern: "Prince, is there really no way to save Zihan?"

"Even Doctor Chu can't do anything. The capital is so far away from the Valley of Divine Doctors. It's not realistic for me to send her there." Mu Rongchen couldn't hide his heartache. He wanted to save Liang Zihan more than anyone else. Even if she had done something wrong, she was his sister's only daughter.

"Your Highness, has Mrs. Lin found any clues?" Li Dinghong asked.

"No..." Mu Rongchen replied: "You guys go back first! Let sister accompany Zi Han."

Everyone nodded and left first. They couldn't help here, so they might as well go and help look for the person.

After seeing someone leave, Mu Rongchen waved his hand to let the maid go, then stared at his sister who was lying on the bed in grief: "Why did the eldest sister hide it from the eleventh? The emperor has stripped your title. Go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice by yourself later, and don't let the people from the Ministry of Justice come to ask you."

When Mu Rongwan heard what her brother said, she looked up at him and said, "I don't want to either, but Zihan is my only daughter, I want her to live."

"This Lin Xi is Yu Qianqian. Your cousin was stripped of his title by the Emperor and thrown into the Ministry of Justice. Don't worry, I will handle it. I can't do anything about Zi Han's situation, so you stay with her." Mu Rongchen said this and turned away.

Mu Rongwan watched her brother leave, and recalled what her husband had said about her nanny's family falling off a cliff. They did not go down to look for them at the time, but they did not expect that the nanny's daughter was not dead and came back to seek revenge on them.

When the queen heard her son tell her about what his elder brother and sister-in-law had done, she was shocked and angry and ran to the palace to see her niece. Seeing her situation, she felt extremely sad but helpless, so she could only go back to comfort her sad mother. She had no choice, because Ziyu was the daughter of the King of Nan'an. On one side was her daughter's husband's family, and on the other side was her son.

Li Linlang really didn't expect that the person who poisoned her hated Zi Han so much, and gave her such a vicious drug that made her suffer so much, which was even more cruel than killing her with a knife. She also hated her son for the killing that destroyed a good family.
