Chapter 353: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Two)
Merit? Liang Sheng sneered. He was just giving Geng Feiluan a chance to make merit for the sake of his biological mother, Lin. Geng Feiluan hadn't done anything useful.
Le Chang had just told him that Geng Feiluan was wandering outside Concubine Ji's palace.
Why would a guard wander outside the concubine's palace?
Liang Sheng didn't need to think too much to feel that a green hat was about to be put on his head, or that he had been forced to wear it.
He even doubted whether the baby in Ji Wei's belly was his?
Liang Sheng half-closed his eyes, and wanted to get rid of Concubine Ji's child with some cruelty.
But he still had the confidence of an emperor and felt that Ji Wei would not dare to confuse the dragon species.
Liang Sheng couldn't announce to the world that Geng Feiluan might have had an affair with Concubine Ji, letting others know about this royal scandal, but he really hated Geng Feiluan now.
Liang Sheng: "Geng Feiluan, you have spoken nonsense in front of me, deceiving the emperor and acting so arrogantly. For the sake of my aunt, come, take him down and give him thirty lashes of the cane. Remove him from his position as deputy commander of the Imperial Guards and prohibit him from holding an official position for five years. For his poor parenting, the Marquis of Pingkang will be stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner."
Lady Pingkangbo in the back hall had been following the news. After learning of the emperor's decision, she could no longer stay there. She wailed and fainted.
Unfortunately, the imperial doctors were busy treating other people's injuries and had no time to pay attention to the fainted Lady Pingkangbo.
Everyone knows that the Pingkang Marquis's family, which was favored by the emperor's biological mother, Lin, will disappear from the upper class circle from now on if nothing unexpected happens.
Empress Dowager Cui showed no expression of sadness or joy. She had allowed Lady Pingkangbo to do whatever she wanted for so many years, but she simply didn't care.
Cui Li looked at Xuan Yunian who was hiding her true intentions. He actually understood what she meant and gave her a push at the critical moment, exposing Geng Feiluan's whereabouts.
She looked at Ji Wei again who was lowering her head, wondering what Ji Wei was feeling now.
Ji Mingyue was also watching Ji Wei. When she learned that Geng Feiluan had been beaten with thirty boards, she felt much less depressed. Her Xin Lang had died tragically! But it didn't matter. She would make sure Geng Feiluan couldn't die and would live in agony.
After the palace servants brought the sedan chair, Ji Mingyue slowly got on it. As she passed by Ji Wei, she sneered softly, "Sister, are you heartbroken? What a pity! Your lover is crippled, but you're still unharmed."
Ji Wei lowered her head and glared at Ji Mingyue fiercely, but did not say anything.
Soon everyone dispersed, as these frightened nobles did not want to stay in the palace any longer.
Cui Li was also taken back to the palace in a sedan chair to rest.
The emperor personally investigated the identities of the men in black, but there were no markings on their bodies, so their identities were not clear for the time being.
Everyone in the Geng Mansion is in a panic tonight. Pingkang Bo has been demoted to a commoner. From then on, the Geng Mansion will be completely insignificant in the capital!
Master Geng's concubines and illegitimate sons all resented Geng Feiluan, saying that they had done something wrong and not only did they cause their master to be stripped of his title!
The two concubines' wives complained endlessly, regretting that they had married into the Geng family. They had hoped to enjoy some advantages and be connected with the royal family, but they ended up in poverty. When they returned to their parents' home in the future, they could not hold their heads up in front of their sisters.
The unmarried illegitimate son and the two unmarried illegitimate daughters were also full of resentment. Without the title of Earl of Pingkang, the people they could marry would most likely be from small families, which would affect their future!
Geng Feiluan was beaten to death. He cried bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. Now he could only hope that he could support Wei'er's prince to ascend the throne in the future to restore the glory of the Geng family!
He planned to agree to the family his mother favored and marry the daughter of the Minister of War. With the help of his wife's father, he could rise again in five years.
But he didn't know that he had no chance.
Everyone in the Geng family was filled with resentment and urgently needed an outlet, and the person who provided them with the outlet was the bedridden Geng Feiluan.
