I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Mo Ning and Lan Zhi exchanged a glance, then both looked at the newcomer with disbelief.

It turned out that the person who came was Aunt Mo. At this time, she no longer had the rustic air that Lan Zhi had when she first met her. She looked dignified and elegant, and her whole body exuded an aura that made people dare not underestimate her.

She walked slowly into the main hall, curtsied, and bowed.

"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings. I, Liang Ying, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The Emperor was so excited that he couldn't speak. He never expected that Consort Liang, whom he had been thinking about day and night, was still alive. He even thought he was dreaming. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

His eyes were fixed on Consort Liang, and he turned his head to ask the Empress,

"Am I seeing things? Is the person below me Consort Liang?"

Although the Empress's face was grim and she hated him to the core, she still replied gently:

"Yes, Your Majesty is not mistaken, it is Sister Liang."

As she spoke, she stood up from her seat and quickly walked over to Liang Fei. "Sister Liang, you're still alive? You're actually still alive! That's wonderful!"

As she spoke, she tried to take her hand, but Liang Fei quickly stepped back and refused.

"Your Majesty the Empress is of delicate health; how could you possibly hold the hand of a coarse commoner like me?"

The Empress's expression changed slightly, but she still managed a fake smile.

"What's wrong with Consort Liang? Does she not recognize me as her older sister anymore?"

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. I have come here today to clear my son's name and avenge my family members who died unjustly. I have no intention of acknowledging any relatives. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This……

The Queen, somewhat embarrassed, raised her handkerchief to wipe her mouth lightly, then turned and returned to her seat.

Consort Zhen, who had been sitting steadily in the lower position, and several other consorts were starting to get restless.

They had long heard that the Emperor still harbored feelings for a concubine named Liang, but they were all relieved that Liang was dead, and they did not want to be jealous of a dead person.

But now this Consort Liang is actually here alive, and the Emperor is unusually excited when he sees her. How can they, who are already out of favor, bear this?

The Emperor, unable to contain his excitement, tried to stand up from his seat. "Xiao Ying, it's been five years! Why have you been completely out of touch? I thought you were already... Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then? Do you know how many five years I've missed you!"

Consort Liang raised her hand coldly, stopping him from moving forward.

"Your Majesty, I have come today to say a few words. Please allow me to finish."

The emperor sat back down on his dragon throne and nodded eagerly.

"Please speak, my beloved consort."

Even after many years apart, he still referred to her as "my beloved concubine," which shows how much the emperor favored her.

Consort Liang had no interest in such matters and immediately said with a solemn expression:

"Your Majesty, it wasn't that I left without saying goodbye back then, but that I had no choice but to leave. On the night Ning'er was framed, someone sneaked into the palace to kill Ning'er to silence her. When I found out, I wanted to beg Your Majesty to save Ning'er, but I was drugged and knocked out in the room. When I woke up, I found myself covered in wounds and had been dumped in a mass grave..."

As she spoke, she seemed to recall a scene from years ago, and her eyes began to redden. Mo Ning, following her words, also recalled that scene from years ago, and immediately clenched her fists in hatred...

The emperor's face turned ashen in an instant. He clenched his fists repeatedly and questioned in a hateful voice,

Tell me, who exactly wants to harm you?

Consort Liang did not answer him, but after a moment of silence, she continued:

"Fortunately, I had a loyal servant by my side who not only took me home when I was half dead, but also retrieved Ning'er's body for me. Later, I discovered that Ning'er was still alive, so with the help of my loyal servant, I escaped from the capital..."

She suddenly looked up at Wei Jian'an.

“All of this is thanks to Wei Jian’an. He framed Ning’er for treason first, then tried to silence her in the prison, and then killed more than a dozen members of my family overnight. I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me, for Ning’er, and for the wronged souls of my family.”

Consort Liang's words made Wei Jian'an's expression grow even more unpleasant, and he immediately shook his head in denial.

"You're talking nonsense. These things have nothing to do with me."

Consort Liang glared at her with resentful eyes. "Wei Jian'an, I have found the person who forged the letter written by Crown Prince Huo back then, and I have also found the survivors of my family. Please allow them to enter, Your Majesty."

The emperor's face had changed from excitement to a bluish-purple color.

Although he was delighted by Consort Liang's appearance, he still found it unbelievable that Wei Jian'an had committed so many evil deeds.

However, it was somewhat inappropriate to expose his crown prince in front of so many foreigners.

Thinking of this, he simply waved his hand and said:

"These are minor matters, family issues. We can discuss them later!"

"Does His Majesty intend to protect Wei Jian'an?"

Consort Liang glared at the Emperor with sharp eyes. She knew that the Emperor only cared about his own reputation. If she didn't clarify things in front of these people, the Emperor probably wouldn't punish Wei Jian'an later.

Thinking of this, she angrily questioned,

"What has Wei Jian'an done that is a trivial matter? He framed his own brothers, is that a trivial matter? He attempted to kill the Emperor's concubines, is that a trivial matter? He killed more than a dozen members of my family, can that be considered a trivial matter? I swear, how can a person like him be the Crown Prince? What qualifications does he have to succeed the Emperor in the future? I beg Your Majesty to let my witness in so that he can confront him face to face, and also to prevent him from accusing me of framing him."

The Emperor's face had turned from pale to ashen, while Huo Batian urged him on with great interest.

"Since this matter concerns my Tianwu Kingdom, Your Majesty should clarify it in front of everyone and ask questions to avoid my Tianwu Kingdom being unfairly blamed."

People from several other countries also nodded in agreement.

"If what Consort Liang said is true, then such a person should no longer be the Crown Prince."

"Yes, if he could commit such evil deeds before, he will certainly not let the people live in peace after he ascends the throne. Your Majesty should think twice!"

"..."

Although the Emperor wanted to suppress the matter, at this moment, not only was Consort Liang standing in front of him questioning him, but Ning'er was also watching him, and foreign envoys were waiting to see the final outcome.

After much deliberation, he nodded.

"Since you say you have witnesses, bring them here! Men, bring Ade and Ling'er here as well."

Since all of this happened today, let's just deal with it all at once!

In a short while, two ordinary-looking people knelt before the emperor, who then began to question them.

"Who are you all? What do you know? Tell me quickly."

One of them, his body trembling, spoke:

"Your Majesty, my name is Li Si. I was originally a schoolteacher, and occasionally I wrote letters for others. I was most skilled at imitating other people's handwriting. Five years ago, Ade, a guard by the Crown Prince's side, approached me and claimed that if I could imitate other people's handwriting to write two letters for him, he would give me a thousand taels of silver. I believed him and wrote two letters in a small notebook as he requested. But who could have imagined that he would not only refuse to give me the silver, but also try to kill me? When I realized the danger, I tried to escape the capital with my family overnight, but when I arrived home, he killed my entire family..."

At this point, Li Si opened his mouth wide and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! My whole family is innocent! I beg Your Majesty to do justice for my wife, children, and widow who died unjustly!"

After Li Si kowtowed several times, Wei Jian'an was so frightened that he took a few steps back and angrily rebuked him:

"You're talking nonsense. I've never seen you before, and I don't know you."

Li Si snorted, then took out a small notebook from his pocket.

“Your Majesty, this notebook contains exactly the same content as the one he gave me. If Your Majesty does not believe me, I can write it down again in person.”
