In Yongning's heart, she didn't care that she was still in mourning. She only knew one thing: she wanted to be with Nalan. She truly loved Brother Nalan and naturally wanted to be with him forever.

Whether she was a wife, a concubine, or a maid, it didn't matter; she knew that her imperial uncle wouldn't abandon her.

When Eunuch Li arrived, he looked at Nalan and Yongning.

"Lord Nalan, the Emperor has decreed that we should take Miss Yongning back with us."

"Miss Yongning, are you willing to keep vigil for the Prince and never return?"

This was the last chance the emperor was giving Yongning. If she agreed, she would spend the rest of her life as a Buddhist nun.

“I am unwilling. Please tell my uncle that Yongning wants to be with Lord Nalan forever.”

Eunuch Li really wanted to call her an idiot. What kind of time is this to still be thinking about being with him?

"What are you thinking, Lord Nalan? Now, Miss Yongning still wants to be with you."

To be honest, Eunuch Li has completely baffled Nalan, who suddenly doesn't know what to do.

If I agree, will the Emperor blame me? If I disagree, will the Emperor agree?

"What, is it hard to choose? Miss Yongning, it seems your so-called mutual affection isn't very genuine."

Everyone could see that Nalan was hesitating because he was weighing the pros and cons. How could he possibly tell them that he truly loved Yongning?

To put it bluntly, everyone present was shrewd. Nalan was simply too young, and they all knew exactly what he was planning.

Didn't you hear Eunuch Li calling for Miss Yongning? He's still dreaming of getting promoted and making a fortune.

I guess I'll never take another step forward like this.

Or perhaps he'll go back to his hometown.

Poor bride, she actually ran into such a family.

Ningxi was furious. She didn't know if she should still marry Nalan. But she was unwilling to leave him now.

She and Nalan were childhood sweethearts, yet this Princess Yongning insisted on coming in.

"What, General Nalan, do you intend to refuse to answer?"

Eunuch Li sneered. Now that's settled, Nalan has spoken. "Your subject is willing to be with Princess Yongning, but I cannot betray my wife Ningxi."

Nalan thought for a moment before finally speaking.

"Lord Nalan is mistaken. There has never been a Princess Yongning."

Princess Yongning went with the princess back then.

"Right now, she is merely Yongning. If you wish to be with her, then take her as your concubine."

With just one sentence from Eunuch Li, everything was settled.

The civil and military officials understood; this was the Emperor's intention.

"What?"

Naland was bewildered. What did this mean?

"Since she's a concubine, she should enter through the back door and must serve the principal wife well from now on."

General Nalan, you should take care of yourself from now on.

Yongning, that fool, was actually happy and grabbed Nalande's sleeve, saying, "Brother Nalande is so kind! Uncle Emperor has agreed to let us be together."

Seeing Yongning Nalan looking so happy, he didn't know what to say.

The men brought by Eunuch Li slapped Yongning ten times in quick succession!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you address the Emperor like that! This is a lesson, but next time you could be beaten to death!"

Yongning's face was swollen from the beating. She was dragged into Nalan's house by the eunuchs, who then ordered those who served her to leave immediately.

At the same time, he told Madam Nalan, "Yongning is just a concubine. If anyone impersonates a princess or her husband in the future, their entire family will be executed."

At the same time, the emperor issued a proclamation to the world.

Prince Shi died for his country, and his wife followed him. Princess Yongning passed away.
