Chapter 775 Who Can Help
"The question now is that the sage may no longer protect Liang Zhongshan, but will he ask Miss Tong to go back to serve her husband based on his past achievements and family background?"

After Bai Kou finished eating the lotus root, she put down her chopsticks and said seriously.

This made the three silent together.

"This is what I'm most worried about. Once the saint speaks, it will be an imperial decree. If so, what will Tong Mingli do?!" Thinking of Tong Mingli's unknown future, Ning Peilan was really worried.

Gu Yun and Gong Zhangji sighed softly, the sage is the biggest, once he speaks, even if they have thousands of calculations, it will be of no avail.

Just when the few of them were worried, Ning Peilan's servant girl reported outside the gate that a letter and note from Miss Tong and Gu Shizi's guard had arrived at the gate.

The four cheered up, Ning Peilan responded, and her maid immediately opened the door and came in, handing the letter and the note to Wang Hao and Gu Yun respectively.

Tong Mingli's letter was to tell Ning Peilan that she would enter the palace with her mother in the morning according to the Queen's order, while Gu Yun's note was naturally Liang Zhongshan's illness.

After a joint consultation with the Tai Hospital, Liang Zhongshan was already seriously ill and unable to recover. He had already developed symptoms of kidney damage such as blood in the urine and frequent urination and urgency. Note that the last opportunity for treatment was delayed day by day. The imperial physicians judged that his life expectancy will end this month. If he is lucky, he will be delayed until the end of the month. Zhong Shan had been ill long before he made the engagement last year.

The guards specifically mentioned in the note that because they couldn't bear this kind of blow, Liang Dashi and the old lady passed out one after another. When the guards returned, the family of three were still in the Imperial Hospital, but there were servants from Liang's family. Rushed to Yu Wang's mansion to report.

Gu Yun and Gong Changji finished reading the note together, slapped the table and laughed, Bai Kou got up and went to get the note from them and came back to read it with the princess.

"Oh my God!" Ning Peilan was the most surprised person who didn't know anything about it, "Is Liang Zhongshan really dying?! Yangshou is only up to this month? This is too scary! There is no sign at all!"

"There are omens. He can't do without medicine in bed. This is already an omen. As long as he is more cautious and goes to the imperial hospital early, he may still have a chance of survival." Bai Kou knows that this is the medicine of Xiongfeng. Serious side effects, let men go to heaven, but also pave the way to hell.

"Now the results of Taiyuan Hospital are out. As we guessed just now, Liang Zhongshan is dying. He played himself to death. What about Tong Mingli?!" Ning Peilan's voice was choked up. Empress Yizhi has entered the palace, if she hears the latest news about Liang Zhongshan from the empress, what should she do?"

"That depends on how determined Ms. Tong is to get rid of the sea of ​​suffering. If she can persevere to the end, there will be a turning point."

"There is a turning point?!" Ning Peilan was surprised, and Gu Yun and Gong Changji also pricked up their ears.

"Yes, the imperial physician's consultation confirmed that Liang Zhongshan's health was failing before marriage. The man's family concealed a serious illness, regardless of whether they knew it or not. Who told them not to have a check-up before marriage? Now we have to nail this matter to their heads. I have a serious illness but still have a lot of means to marry a beautiful wife. Maybe the hero saving the beauty was a scene designed by Liang Zhongshan himself. After less than two months of marriage, he showed his true colors. The purpose of marrying our cousin is to value She has a good background and family education, and a family background that will not cause trouble, but Liang Zhongshan miscalculated the speed of his body's collapse, and he is already facing extinction. As a wife, Ms. Tong can file a lawsuit against Liang Zhongshan for cheating on marriage, requesting The government declared the marriage invalid."

"This is impossible!" Ning Peilan and the three spoke in unison.

"Marriage is invalid? You really can talk nonsense, where did this law come from?" Gu Yun was speechless, feeling that Bai Kou was a bit whimsical.

"There is no such law, so Ms. Tong can use this as a reason to argue that Liang Zhongshan deliberately took advantage of the loopholes in the law. The body is his own. He doesn't know if he feels uncomfortable? What's more, Ms. Tong is now The humiliation he suffered can be used to explain that Liang Zhongshan did not marry her sincerely at all, but because the members of the Tong clan were neutral in the officialdom, and they were neutral in power. A woman who can resist and bear children and do her best for their Liang family all her life, standing on the side of the Liang family, is such a cost-effective thing. As for whether the government will invalidate the marriage, it doesn't matter at all. One purpose is to let the people of the capital continue to pay attention to this matter. As long as the people keep talking about it, we will be able to send out suitable lobbyists and have such a chance to persuade the saint to sympathize with Ms. Tong and allow her to get rid of her and marry Liang people."

"It's not easy, it's too difficult." The key to whether Tong Mingli can regain her freedom lies in the saint. Gu Yun and Gong Changji felt as if a big piece of hair suddenly fell from the sky on top of their heads, and Ning Peilan even felt a headache.

"It's not easy, but this is the price for Miss Tong to help us obtain evidence. You should have thought that the follow-up would be so difficult when you asked for her help, right?" Bai Kou remained calm.

"Right now, I only pray that Tong Mingli can get the empress's support." Ning Peilan once again felt a sore nose, "But it's not easy. She has to tell the queen herself that she wants to reconcile with Liang Zhongshan."

"It's difficult to express your own thoughts, but as long as you speak out, the empress will definitely support her. She knows that Tong Mingli belongs to our circle, and she certainly doesn't want to see a child in her circle be widowed for a lifetime by a boy from the opposing camp."

"That's right! As long as you speak out and get the Queen's sympathy and support, Tong Mingli's matter may have a better chance!" Ning Peilan became excited.

"But is the queen empress a suitable lobbyist?" Gong Changji asked suddenly, "From the evidence we have, Liang Zhongshan is very likely to be the purse of Concubine Zhao Xian. At the end of the day, the Liang family will definitely ask Tong Mingli to go back to observe the festival, Concubine Zhao Xian only needs to simply express her support, and the empress who wants to persuade the saint to change her mind must be careful not to offend the saint with a word of disagreement, and give Concubine Zhao Xian a chance for nothing."

"So, now, we can only wait, wait for the news to reach the palace, wait for the governor to submit the conclusion of the investigation, and wait for the result of the meeting between the empress empress and Miss Tong. From today to tomorrow, it will take a whole day and night. , the only thing we can do is to wait patiently." Bai Kou sighed softly, but the voice happened to be heard by everyone in front of and behind the screen.

"Today will be a very tormenting day." Gu Yun picked up his chopsticks and tapped on the edge of the bowl.

Although Gong Changji and Ning Peilan didn't say anything, they agreed with this sentence in their hearts.
