The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

[He's such an honest kid. It's not easy for him to redress his grievances.]

"Although our ancestors established this rule, rules are static, but people are dynamic." Xie Ci'an suddenly looked at Censor Liang beside him and said in a cold voice, "Didn't Censor Liang say before that this is a false accusation? Since it's false, wouldn't it be more direct to just drag him out after the interrogation and deal with him?"

Censor Liang was left speechless by Xie Ci'an's words.

It was like shooting oneself in the foot, but he had to respond, "Your Majesty is right."

[Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler.]

Xie Ci’an:…

If he lets Liang Qiong be beaten tonight, wouldn't he be a tyrant?

"Do you know who you are suing?" Xie Ci'an asked coldly.

"I know. The person I am suing is Lord Liang, the Chief Censor, who holds the third rank." Liang Qiong answered calmly.

"Then you know what happens if you falsely accuse an important official of the imperial court."

"I know I'll be dragged out and executed by slow slicing, but I'm not making a false accusation. When Censor Liang passed the imperial examination, he married the current Madam Liang before their divorce. Later, when my mother saw that Censor Liang hadn't returned, she was worried that something had happened in the capital, so she left me in the care of a neighbor and came to the capital alone. Who knew she would see Sir Liang marrying someone else?"

"My mother reported the matter to the Dali Temple. Lord Liang used his connections in the court to close the case early. He also expelled my mother from the capital and even broke her legs. She died of illness on the road."

Speaking of the sad part, Liang Qiong, a grown man, couldn't help but wipe away tears, and then continued, "Although many years have passed, some elderly people still know about these actions."

Originally, Censor Liang thought that someone wanted to frame him and deliberately made up this person to frame him, but after hearing the man's words, Censor Liang felt very weak. The room was obviously not very hot, but he was sweating profusely. He had to force himself to prevent himself from falling off the stool in front of him.

"Is what Censor Liang said true?" Xie Ci'an's eyes flashed with an obscure light, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling.

This matter caused a lot of uproar at the time, and it was difficult to conceal it.

Censor Liang knelt down with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, I had already written a letter of divorce before coming to the capital, but she refused to acknowledge it. After my wedding, she came to the capital and made trouble. This seriously affected my life, so I resorted to some trickery to drive her out of the capital. As for the claim that I broke her leg, that is nonsense. I have never done such a thing."

"It's true that you didn't do it. It was a servant sent by your wife. Sir Liang, how dare you say you didn't know about it? Besides, my mother didn't receive the divorce letter. And when Censor Liang was able to come to the capital to take part in the imperial examination, it was because my mother worked day and night selling pork to make money. That gave you the opportunity to take part in the imperial examination and become so successful. But you turn around and look down on us."

Censor Liang didn't continue to respond to Liang Qiong's words, but instead said, "When Your Majesty and I went to the capital to take the imperial examination, she was not pregnant. Now she has a child this big. Who knows if it is a bastard from somewhere?"

[Liang Yushi is trying to change the subject. Not only did he not recognize his own son, but now he is even willing to have his own son wrongfully killed in order to clear himself.]

"My mother was already pregnant before you left, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would affect your mood."

"But I'm only here to seek justice for my mother. Even if I'm not anyone's child, I still want to seek justice for the poor woman you killed. The law doesn't stipulate that only biological children can seek justice."

"Besides, I don't want someone as heartless as you to be my father."

[Great! I thought Liang Qiong was going to have to prove her identity, but I didn't expect her to not care about her identity at all.]

[It's unfortunate to have a father like Liang Yushi.]

[I really want to see Censor Liang's face turn the color of liver.]

Now I suddenly feel that the screen is a bit of a hindrance. I can only hear but cannot see the scene outside at all.

Gu Jianchu moved his body and tried to look outside, but he couldn't see anything outside. Instead, his movement touched the wound, and the pain made Gu Jianchu gasp and he became quiet instantly.

His face was a little pale because of the pain.

Concentrating on eating melons, Wen Zhaoyi noticed the Queen's movements and immediately came over, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Not very good.

"It's okay, it's okay, it was just an accidental bump. Don't worry about me, just continue eating the melon." Gu Jianchu grabbed the quilt under him tightly to relieve the pain.

Xie Ci'an was a martial artist and had good hearing. Combined with Gu Jianchu's voice, Xie Ci'an knew that he might have touched the wound.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of these court officials and outsiders, he could have just carried Gu Jianchu out to eat melons.

Xie Ci'an glanced at Cheng Song and signaled him to call the imperial physician over.

He glanced worriedly towards the screen and continued, "I will send people to investigate the truth of what you said. This can only be regarded as Liang Yushi abandoning his wife and children. You said he broke your mother's legs and left her dead on the road. Do you have other evidence?"

Although he had understood what had happened from Gu Jianchu's inner thoughts, conviction depended on evidence. If he convicted so openly and arbitrarily, the emperor would not have to continue sitting on the throne.

Censor Liang was certain that the other party would not be able to produce any evidence, so he snorted coldly and said, "Since you can't produce any evidence, everything you said is just fabricated nonsense."

"Who said I don't have evidence, Censor Liang?" Liang Qiong looked at Censor Liang with indelible hatred in her eyes.

After he finished speaking, under the frown of Censor Liang, he took out a jade pendant and a blood letter from his pocket. "Your Majesty, this blood letter was left by my mother. She spent all her savings to find someone to send the blood letter to me. Along with the blood letter, she also sent this jade pendant. My mother said that the jade pendant was accidentally dropped by the thugs who beat her."

"My mother said that this jade pendant was once worn by the current wife of Censor Liang."

Wen Zhu took the item and presented it to the emperor. He then unfolded the neatly folded blood letter, which looked quite old, and placed it on the table beside him for the emperor to see.

Xie Ci'an glanced at the contents written in blood and thought that the other party probably couldn't read or write, so the writing was crooked.

Inspector Liang leaned forward, trying to read the contents of the blood letter. Before he could clearly read the densely packed words, the emperor glanced at him, and Liang instantly shrank back. "Your Majesty, that woman is just a peasant woman. She can't read a single word. How could she have written such a long blood letter? Someone must have framed me."

Liang Qiong immediately retorted, "You've never even looked at your wife straight in the eye, so of course you only know her as an illiterate peasant woman. But she studied Chinese characters for a year with the village scholar. Even though she doesn't know many, she can still understand the basics."

"There's no need to be so anxious, Censor Liang. If you've been wrongly accused, I will definitely clear your name." Xie Ci'an picked up the jade pendant on the table and casually threw it to Wen Zhu behind him. "Send someone to find out who owns this jade pendant."
