Liang Chongyue stood there and watched coldly as Liang Junlin sent herself to her death. Everyone has his or her own destiny. Concubine Lian raised her to be ignorant of the immensity of the world and simple-minded. She should have expected this day to come.

Liang Chongyue also understood why her mother did not allow Luo Zhaoyi to take the person away. It was simply because there had been a lot of things going on in the palace recently and she did not want to cause any more trouble.

"Luo Zhaoyi."

The Queen Mother's voice sounded from beside her, intimidating without even being angry. The concubines who had just gathered outside the gate of Jingyang Palace heard that the Queen Mother was angry, and they ran away faster than the other.

"Your Majesty, I truly love Lin'er. Please grant me your wish this time."

Luo Zhaoyi hugged Liang Junlin and cried bitterly, making her mother look like an unforgivable villain. She was determined to separate the fake mother and daughter.

"Since both Consort Luo and the Ninth Princess are willing, I see that Consort Lian really doesn't have anyone capable around her. I've heard that Consort Luo was born in Jiangnan and is the most gentle woman. She will definitely be able to take good care of the Ninth Princess. Why don't you help her, Mother?"

Liang Chongyue suddenly spoke, disrupting the situation. Luo Zhaoyi seemed to be stunned by her words, stopped crying, and looked up at her.

Liang Chongyue lowered his head and looked down at Luo Zhaoyi who was squatting on the ground. The coldness in his eyes remained, and he spoke softly.

"I remember that Luo Zhaoyi's father was the Deputy Director of the Jiangning Weaving Factory. Although he was only a fifth-rank official, he served for many years and was always diligent and honest. He was praised by the people as a good official. With such a good example, Luo Zhaoyi will surely be able to raise the Ninth Princess well."

Luo Zhaoyi had just been overwhelmed by the good news of Concubine Lian's miscarriage. For a moment, she only thought about revenge for her dead child. After being reminded by the Fifth Princess, her mind slowly began to return to normal.

Liang Chongyue saw that Luo Zhaoyi's hands, which were originally tightly clasped on Liang Junlin's back, loosened a little and she was clearly about to retreat.

Without waiting for Luo Zhaoyi to hesitate and retreat, Liang Chongyue approached her mother and whispered a few words. When she looked at Liang Junlin, her eyes were so cold that it seemed as if there was a piece of ice hidden in them.

"Since Consort Luo is determined to take the Ninth Princess away to be taken care of, I cannot hinder your love for her."

Luo Zhaoyi realized that she had been impulsive just now and should not have risked the entire Luo family with her.

In Jiangning, she still has a father and mother who love her and are waiting for her. When she left home, her younger brother was only five years old. She just received a letter from her mother a few days ago, saying that her younger brother is at the age of being diligent and studious. She cannot bring disaster to the whole family because of her own selfish desires.

But when she heard what the Queen said, she was about to say something to regret it when she met the Fifth Princess's meaningful eyes. She had heard a lot about the Fifth Princess' deeds during these years in the palace. His Majesty personally raised her and loved her very much. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he favored her.

Over the years, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess has always been gentle and dignified, and rarely gets angry when dealing with the palace maids. Over the years, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess only gets angry when it comes to matters concerning the Empress.

Seeing the smile in the eyes of the Fifth Princess, Luo Zhaoyi swallowed subconsciously in fear.

Thinking back to the rumors I've heard these days about Concubine Lian being disrespectful to the Empress and being driven out of Yiku Palace by the Fifth Princess, I think the Fifth Princess must dislike Concubine Lian, otherwise there would be no need to remind her of these things.

Luo Zhaoyi wanted to slap herself right now. If she had known that Her Royal Highness the Princess disliked Concubine Lian, she should have held back.

If we have to go over now and endure for a few more days, with Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess's ability, we might be able to wait until Concubine Lian and her twins are buried together.

Liang Chongyue clearly saw that Luo Zhaoyi was frightened by her words, but this was not the effect she wanted.

Liang Chongyue's eyes fell on Yunling, and after seeing Yunling nod slightly at her, Liang Chongyue smiled slightly and spoke softly to Luo Zhaoyi and Liang Junlin:

"Yunling, please send Zhaoyi Luo and the Ninth Princess back. The sun is strong today, so Zhaoyi Luo can ride in this princess' sedan chair back."

Unless given special permission, those below the rank of concubine were not qualified to ride in the sedan chair. Zhaoyi Luo looked at the sedan chair that had been carried in from outside the palace, and her face turned pale.

Unable to hold on any longer, he collapsed to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Liang Chongyue was looking down at the conditions of Luo Zhaoyi and Liang Junlin. When he looked up, he saw his mother's disapproving eyes.

But in the end, the Queen Mother didn't say much.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, Consort Luo, let's go."

Yun Ling stepped forward to help up Luo Zhaoyi and Liang Junlin. Luo Zhaoyi's legs were weak and after she stood up with difficulty, she looked at the Empress pleadingly, hoping that the Empress would revoke her decision.

But with Liang Chongyue standing in front, Luo Zhaoyi's useless move would be in vain.

Since she was determined to avenge her child, she would naturally help him.

Liang Chongyue listened to the screams coming from Concubine Lian's palace from time to time and sneered in his heart. One death is death, three deaths are death. Concubine Lian herself will not live long, so what's the point of keeping a prince with impure blood alive?

Luo Zhaoyi and Liang Junlin were finally taken away by Yun Ling. The difference was that after Luo Zhaoyi understood the situation, her legs became weak and she had to rely on Yun Ling and her personal maid to support her the whole time before she could walk to the sedan chair.

Liang Junlin was like a young bird that had escaped from a cage. She had never seen the dangers of the outside world and was eager to go out and explore.

She was pretending to cry and complain, but she couldn't keep up the pretense before she even left the gate of Jingyang Palace.

Even when being held by the nanny brought by Luo Zhaoyi, she was restless and reached out to play with the earrings on the nanny's earlobe.

The next second, the nanny who was holding Liang Junlin screamed. Liang Chongyue's eyes were always on her, so he naturally saw Liang Junlin reach out and pull off the earrings worn by the nanny.

The blood quickly flowed down, and a lot of it dripped onto Liang Junlin's hands. She was indeed born a bad person.

The nanny was injured. Luo Zhaoyi had a high position and was surrounded by many palace maids. Soon, a new palace maid took the nanny's place.

Fortunately, they were not far from the palace gate at that time. The palace maid who was holding Liang Junlin walked quickly and finally got her neck covered in blood from Liang Junlin's bloody hand. It was creepy to look at.

Yun Ling took his men and left Jingyang Palace.

When Liang Chongyue turned around, he met Huang Wanyi's concerned gaze and responded with a sincere smile.

She remembered Huang Wanyi, who had once been famous in the capital for one of her songs and was sent to the palace by her father to please him. She had also heard her beautiful singing voice in her prime, and only then did she realize that there really was someone in the world with such a melodious voice.

Listening to her speak is like listening to a beautiful piece of music. The sound of mountains and rivers, wind and birdsong cannot compare to her heavenly voice.

Huang Wanyi was young at that time and was very well-behaved. Even if she was not feeling well, she did not dare to ask for leave when paying her respects. She would also give her some small toys brought from outside the palace and tell her various stories.

Liang Chongyue noticed the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Time is merciless. Ever since her voice was damaged, there has been no such beautiful and melodious voice in the palace.

From time to time, cries of pain could be heard from the main hall of Jingyang Palace. Liang Chongyue had witnessed a woman giving birth in her previous life.

It had been a long time since she followed her mother to Jingyang Palace. Although Concubine Lian's voice became lower and lower, one could tell from her pain. How could she not have known before that miscarriage would also cause such pain for women?
