"That's right. I heard that four years ago, Lady Liang was raped by the Second Prince while she was pregnant, and her husband was beaten to death. The royal family will definitely do everything they can to make amends for such a despicable thing."
"Perhaps Lady Liang wants Prince Anzheng to help her seek justice! Could she have actually sneaked into Prince Anzheng's residence?"
"What do you take the Prince Anzheng's mansion for? How could the Liang family possibly sneak in!"
"If you ask me, we ordinary folks should all go and take a good look at what Liang looks like on the notice board. If we happen to run into her, we should all help her out and make sure she doesn't get arrested!"

The old emperor, seated on the dragon throne, looked displeased. "Isn't Lady Liang at the Prince Anzheng's residence?"

He knew very well that this was the work of Prince Anzheng.
"You may leave. There's no need to go to the Prime Minister's residence." The old emperor waved his hand.
The court official looked up, asking uncertainly, "What about the Liang family..."
"Handle this impartially! Get out!" the old emperor roared angrily.
The foolish things Qin Weize did almost ruined his image in the eyes of the people.

Twenty miles outside Beijing, the Black Cavalry's encampment.
Nanqian Yue was holding a little girl and watching the soldiers practice their martial arts.
The little girl was a little scared at first, but after watching for a while and seeing that the men didn't hurt her, she lowered her guard.
Right now, she's clapping her hands happily, showing off her little tiger teeth, and praising in a childish voice, "So amazing! So amazing!"
