Chapter 295: The End of the Extra Past Life

"She also hated herself for being obsessed with love affairs and neglecting to discipline you. She was heartbroken by her own son's indifference and estrangement, and grief-stricken by her daughter's early death. She regretted it endlessly and was even willing to trade her soul just to fulfill her wish in the next life." Yun Ping's voice choked slightly.

She continued, "You only blame her for not understanding you, but you yourself never actively tried to understand her, and you only abandoned her when she was most sad and desperate!"

Liang Jinghe really wanted to yell at the other party to shut up and tell her that he had never thought of abandoning his mother. He just didn't know how to face her, to face someone who didn't understand him at all and was full of hatred for his wife.

Yun Ping saw that he was pinching his chest in pain, and the smile on his face became more and more wild. She suddenly pulled out the long sword from the waist of the guard beside her and put it around her neck.

She whispered softly, "My lady, I am here. Please walk slowly. I will accompany you on the road to the underworld."

"Wait!" Liang Jinghe stretched out his hand to stop it, but the next second, his eyes were blinded by the splashing blood.

The whole world seemed to be dyed red with blood. He opened his eyes, but was like a blind man, unable to see anything. All he could hear were loud noises, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

Liang Jinghe didn't know how he walked out of the yard and how he came to Qingyu Courtyard.

When he reacted, he was already standing at the door of the main house.

He pushed the door open gently and walked in. The table and chairs in the house were neatly arranged. Since his father passed away and his mother was sent to the women's prison, no one had lived here. Only servants came to clean the house every few days.

After so many years, he could hardly remember what his father looked like. He only remembered that warm and cold face, sometimes stern and sometimes gentle. When he looked at him, there would be a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

He sat at his desk, recalling his father's voice, appearance and smile when he was alive, and gradually his eyes became blank.

If Dad knew that he treated Mom like this, causing her to die in misery and loneliness, wouldn't he...

"Your Highness." The voices of his subordinates echoed in the house.

He calmed down, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out?"

The subordinate hesitated, but still reported everything he had found out: "We have found out that when the old princess was alive, except for Yun Ping who took care of her with all her heart, the rest of the people treated her in a way that suited them. Especially when the old princess became mentally ill, the jailers became even more fierce. Even though Yun Ping wanted to protect her, she was just a servant in the end."

Liang Jinghe looked calm, but there was a storm in his eyes.

Very good, very good...

However, Shen Qingxi was forced to move out of Prince Rui's Mansion overnight after she had packed up. She did not dare to return to the Shen family, but moved to the house given to her by Liang Jinghe.

This place is far from the Rui Palace, but closer to the Shen Mansion. Ever since his brother was imprisoned, the Shen Mansion has been in a state of decline. Shen's mother fell ill at the beginning, and Shen Yue was alone running around outside to take care of things, and he was also exhausted.

She was afraid that the news of her divorce from the prince would spread to the Shen Mansion and cause more trouble to her parents, so she sent people out every day to inquire about the news. At the same time, she secretly hinted to the servants in the mansion and asked them not to mention the matter.

On this day, a rumor suddenly spread among the people that Prince Rui Liang Jinghe had ordered a lawsuit against the warden of the women's prison, listing many crimes, such as corruption and abuse of power, deceiving superiors and subordinates, and lynching. The charges, which stretched out for several pages, left the warden with no chance of recovery.

In addition, he sought imperial decree to personally go to the prison to investigate and executed a large number of his accomplices, the prison guards.

Shen Qingxi had always known his methods. There was nothing he couldn't find, and he was becoming more and more unwilling to give in.

Obviously, he could save his second brother...

At this moment, the personal maid Xiao Huai rushed in from outside to report: "Oh no! Miss, the second young master has been sentenced to be beheaded in the autumn!"

"What!" She jumped up from the armchair, grabbed Xiao Huai's hand and asked, "Didn't you say the interrogation would be held the day after tomorrow? Why did it suddenly start earlier?"

"I don't know either, but the rumors are spreading everywhere, and the Shen Mansion has also been raided."

She was swaying and could hardly stand.

All Shen Qingxi could think about now was to save her parents' lives first. She was afraid that asking Liang Jinghe for help would be of no use. Xie Cheng in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would certainly not help her. The only person she could count on was her former brother-in-law, the current Prime Minister Zhao Jichang.

However, when she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was turned away.

Back then, Zhao Qifeng, the eldest son of the Zhao family, had fallen in love with her and even fought to the death with Xie Beiran for her. However, she ended up marrying Liang Jinghe, and Zhao Qifeng married Mu Feihuai.

After such a incident, she couldn't bring herself to ask anyone for help.

Just as she turned around to leave, a carriage stopped in front of her. She looked at the person who walked out of the carriage and her pupils shrank.

…

During this year, many absurd things happened in the capital, which became the topics of conversation among the people after dinner.

First, the Shen family, which had only risen in the capital for a dozen years, fell into ruin overnight;

Second, the case of the late former Rui Wangfei Jiang who murdered her daughter-in-law was vindicated;

Third, the Rui Wang and his wife, who were known for their love, divorced;

Fourthly, Princess Shen of Rui became the concubine of Prince Xie of Zhenguo Mansion within half a year of their divorce.

It was also in this year that the war between Tiangan Kingdom and Xuancang Kingdom broke out again, and Prince Rui Liang Jinghe was appointed by the emperor as the chief commander to go to the border.

This battle was not particularly difficult, at least for Liang Jinghe who had fought against the Xuan Cang people before.

Moreover, Xuan Cang was in serious internal strife, with the monarch and the regent suspicious of each other. He only needed to use a little trick to sow discord between them, and naturally he would be able to break through.

In just less than a year, Liang Jinghe personally led a large army, captured the commander-in-chief of Xuancang alive, and captured several cities on the border of Xuancang, forcing Emperor Xuancang to present a letter of friendship for generations.

The war was over and they were about to return victorious, but Liang Jinghe showed no joy on his face. He led his horse, sent his followers far away, and walked alone on a quiet path.

In fact, he didn't want to go back to Beijing, because there was nothing there worth missing.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard an angry shout from behind: "Liang Jinghe!"

He turned around subconsciously and suddenly felt a cold light. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and a sharp arrow steadily pierced his heart.

"Luo Cheng..." Blood gushed out from his chest. He didn't even have time to finish his words as his body tilted and fell into the surging river beside him.

Liang Jinghe only felt that his body was rising and falling, as if falling into the clouds, his mind was sometimes clear and sometimes unconscious. When he finally slowly opened his eyes, he saw a slender figure walking towards him.

After a moment, the man squatted in front of him, as if to check the wounds on his body. He tried to focus his eyes and finally recognized the other person's face.

"Nanxing..."

Nan Xing was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I'm sorry, I can't save you."

With an arrow piercing his chest and him soaking in the river for such a long time, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would be helpless.

"Don't worry, I know I'm going to die." Liang Jinghe murmured, with a faint smile on his lips.

Nan Xing's eyelids trembled, and her heart, which had long been as stagnant as a pool of water, suddenly began to stir. She asked softly, "What unfulfilled wishes do you have? I will do my best to fulfill them for you."

"Unfulfilled wish..." Liang Jinghe's consciousness gradually faded away, and he spoke like a dream.

In a trance, a picture seemed to appear in front of his eyes - the gray-haired father gently holding the gentle-looking mother in one hand, and both of them had loving smiles on their faces.

Around them, there were lively children, some calling out "Grandfather, Grandmother," and some calling out "Grandfather, Grandmother." Amidst the flowers, a pair of perfect couples came together, and instantly, shouts of "Father, Emperor, Mother, Empress" rang out one after another.

The woman bent down and picked up her little daughter, and smiled at her husband who was also holding his son. The picture froze, the man was him, and the woman was Nanxing.

"It feels so good..." He murmured, his smile deepening. After a moment, his hands finally dropped down powerlessly.

Liang Jinghe, Prince Rui, died on his way back to the capital after a victorious army victory. The prestigious Prince Rui's Palace in Tianqian Kingdom was sealed from then on, with no successor.
