Chapter 447: There is no prominent family with the surname Hu in Nanzhao
Department of Caution and Punishment.
Two sneaky figures were hiding opposite the cell where Concubine Liang was imprisoned.
There was a wall opposite and a small house behind it.
This room was where the clerks used to sit and take notes when interrogating prisoners.
And in the room facing the cell, there were several movable bricks.
As long as one is careful and tilts the bricks slightly, one can clearly see what is happening in the cell opposite.
Now, Huang Ye and Hong Dou are hiding in this room, secretly looking across.
"My lady, is Concubine Liang dead?"
Hongdou asked Huangye quietly, uncertainly.
The key point is that they have been in for such a long time, and Concubine Liang has been lying there motionless.
Huang Ye knocked on Hongdou's head again.
"She is pretending to be dead, trying to figure out how to escape punishment."
Hongdou pouted.
She committed such a serious crime and yet she still wants to get away with it. What is this Concubine Liang thinking?
Huang Ye thought differently from what she thought.
When Concubine Liang was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, she confessed everything without even waiting for the torture.
This also shows that although she is stubborn, she is also afraid of death.
Even if it was for the Hu Lang she had recruited, she would definitely find a way to stay alive.
Concubine Liang was the love-brained person that people in her previous life talked about.
It's the kind of love-brained person who will do anything for love.
At this time, footsteps came in.
Huang Ye looked at the two people who came in.
It is no wonder that these two people are Concubine Liang's father and brother.
"Yaer..."
Marquis Dingyuan called out in a hoarse voice.
He called out to his daughter through the iron bars of the cell.
Hongdou discovered that the person who had been lying on the ground motionless suddenly sat up.
"Father, father...brother..."
Princess Liang cried with joy.
She knew that her family would never give up on her.
They loved her so much.
They will definitely try their best to rescue her.
"Ya'er...you are confused, how could you do such a thing?"
Marquis Dingyuan burst into tears.
Concubine Liang's brother looked at her with resentment.
That look made Concubine Liang feel uneasy.
"Father, please, please save your daughter... I know I was wrong."
Princess Liang cried half-truthfully.
She had to cry hard first so that her ancestors would rescue her.
"You still want to leave? The emperor has already issued an order to execute all nine clans of Dingyuan Marquis's family. This is all your fault..."
Prince Liang secretly pinched his father's arm, signaling him not to speak for the time being.
He wanted to take a good look at whether his sister had a heart or not.
"How is it possible to kill nine clans? Didn't Xuan Chengzi also kill three clans?"
Concubine Liang screamed.
"Sister, what you mean is that you colluded with the people of Nanzhao to murder the emperor, but just killing three clans can calm the emperor's anger?"
Prince Liang was extremely disappointed with Concubine Liang.
This is the person who was spoiled by their family...
"I have already admitted my mistake to my father. What else do you want, brother?"
Concubine Liang was also unhappy.
If all nine clans of Marquis Dingyuan were executed, who would come to save her in the future?
She's not feeling well, either.
Marquis Dingyuan patted his son's hand, signaling him to calm down.
"Ya'er, tell your father the truth. When you conspired with that person to harm the emperor, did you ever think about me, your father, and your mother and brothers..."
Marquis Dingyuan looked at his daughter's expressionless face.
"Everyone in the mansion loves you so much, your grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc..."
"Father, what's the point of saying this now? Even if they thought of it, can they still survive?"
Concubine Liang was extremely upset, and she knew her father couldn't save her.
Now, no one can save her except Hu Lang.
"you…"
Seeing Concubine Liang's nonchalant look, Marquis Dingyuan almost fainted from anger.
"Don't be angry, father. People like her are heartless."
Prince Liang supported the staggering Marquis Dingyuan and said to Concubine Liang angrily.
Concubine Liang looked at the two people in front of her with contempt.
Not only can they not save themselves, but now they can't even save their own lives. They are truly useless.
"Ya'er, you are so confused. There is no big family with the surname Hu in Nanzhao Country. You have been fooled by them..."
Just now, the emperor called them father and son to the imperial study and told them everything that Concubine Liang had confessed.
"You are talking nonsense...Father, you are talking nonsense..."
Concubine Liang almost went crazy. She frantically grabbed the iron bars in the cell with her hands.
If what her father said was true, then what was the point of the belief she had held on to for so long?
"Whether father is talking nonsense or not, you will never have the chance to know the result."
Prince Liang looked at his sister who was like a madman.
"If you have even a little bit of brains and go out and ask around, you will know that there is no wealthy family with the surname Hu in Nanzhao Country..."
"You are talking nonsense... Hu Lang would not lie to me. You are just jealous of Hu Lang's friendship with me..."
Concubine Liang screamed and shouted, as if this could dispel the fear in her heart.
If what they said is true...
That was horrible.
"You are my most beloved child. I just want an answer. Why are you so cruel to us?"
Marquis Dingyuan burst into tears, he stubbornly wanted an answer.
Huang Ye, hiding in the small house, shook his head.
Poor Marquis Dingyuan.
He also hoped to hear Concubine Liang give a reason, saying that she might have been coerced or something.
If she were to say, no matter what the reason was, she couldn't ignore the lives of so many people in her family.
Princess Liang felt guilty when she saw Marquis Dingyuan's pleading look.
“I didn’t think that much at the time.”
"You are confused..."
Marquis Dingyuan murmured and repeated those words.
"At that time, I thought that I was the daughter of a wealthy and prestigious family in Nanzhao Kingdom, and I wanted to contribute to the victory of Nanzhao Kingdom..."
"Father...let's go."
Prince Liang never wanted to see this idiot again.
His sister is not only stupid and unaware of it, but also stubborn and unrepentant.
She doesn't seem to have any intention of repenting at all.
And until now, she has never said sorry for the disaster she brought to her family.
This kind of person... her death would be a blessing for the whole family.
"You're on your own..."
Marquis Dingyuan knew what his son was thinking.
But Concubine Liang was his child after all.
Judging from the emperor's tone, she will be sentenced to death today.
Although the emperor showed mercy and did not ask her to be cut into pieces,
But today, she will definitely die.
He didn't expect that the tragedy of an elderly person sending a young person to their death would happen to him today.
"Your fate today is your own fault..."
After saying this to Concubine Liang, Marquis Dingyuan turned around.
With the support of Prince Liang, he walked out without looking back.
However, Huang Ye, who was hiding in the small house next door, suddenly became energetic.
