Chapter 885 What should she do?

The next day, Madam Li came to the palace again.

When Concubine Li saw her, she was shocked.

"Mom, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Mrs. Li's eyes were red and swollen, looking scary.

Concubine Li quickly asked someone to fetch a bag of herbs that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and after steaming it, applied it to Madam Li's eyes.

Madam Li lay on the couch with her back facing up, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"I told your father about your situation, but he...he didn't want to."

Mrs. Li cried all night because of this matter and her eyes were swollen. She hoped that Mr. Li would change his mind.

Unfortunately it's useless.

Mr. Li is a typical conservative father. He will never allow his daughter to marry a second time.

After hearing this, Princess Li felt disappointed.

In fact, she knew her father's temper very well and had long guessed that her father might not agree.

But she still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that her father must love her and would make concessions for her.

In the end, she still overestimated her position in her father's heart.

Her father loved his reputation more than he loved her.

Mrs. Li didn't hear her daughter's response for a long time and felt anxious.

She couldn't help but take off the medicine bag on her eyes and looked at Concubine Li. She saw Concubine Li sitting stupidly beside the couch, looking very sad.

Mrs. Li felt sad.

She sat up on the bed with her elbows, reached out and hugged her daughter, choking with sobs.

"My dear daughter, it's mother who has harmed you. I shouldn't have agreed to let you enter the palace. If you hadn't entered the palace, you wouldn't have to suffer in the palace now. Wuwuwu, it's all mother's fault!"

Mrs. Li was so sad that even though her eyes were still red and swollen, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Concubine Li patted her back gently and coaxed her softly.

"It's okay. No one expected things to turn out like this. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much."

Mrs. Li cried for a long time before her tears gradually stopped.

She wiped her tears and asked, "Does the emperor really have no feelings for you at all?"

Concubine Li smiled bitterly: "I have been in the palace for five years. How many five years can we have in a lifetime? If the emperor likes me, why would he wait so long? I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I am still a virgin until now."

Mrs. Li opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "How is this possible?!"

Concubine Li: "I dare not say this to others, for fear of embarrassment, but you are my biological mother, don't you know all the embarrassing things I have done since I was a child? I am not afraid of embarrassment in front of you. For five years, I have not been able to let the emperor touch me. Do you think I still have hope?"

Mrs. Li's body was trembling slightly, and it was unclear whether she was angry or frightened.

She clutched her daughter's hand tightly, tears welled up in her eyes again, falling down, and she kept crying.

"It's me who hurt you. It's all me who hurt you!"

Princess Li wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and said, "Don't cry. If you keep crying, your eyes will become unbearable."

Mrs. Li asked, choking with sobs.

"Is it that the noble concubine is deliberately oppressing you?

I heard from people outside that the imperial concubine is tyrannical in the palace.

She also deliberately occupied the emperor's room, not giving other concubines the chance to sleep with him.

If that's the case, I'll ask your father to submit a memorial to the Imperial Concubine when I get back.

We in the Li family will seek justice for you even if it means risking our lives.

Even if she is a noble concubine, she shouldn't bully others like this!"

Concubine Li hurriedly said, "It has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was only brought into the palace last year. Before she came into the palace, the Emperor never even looked at me."

Mrs. Li thought the same and gave up the idea of ​​asking her husband to impeach the imperial concubine.

Concubine Li continued, "In fact, the Imperial Concubine treated me well. At least she didn't intentionally harm me, and she never treated me badly in terms of food, clothing, and daily expenses. As for the Emperor not summoning me to sleep with him, that was the Emperor's own decision, and no one else could interfere."

Mrs. Li felt even more upset.

If someone is obstructing, the Li family can still find a way to mediate.

But now the problem lies with the emperor.

The Li family didn't dare to do anything.

Concubine Li said sadly, "In fact, I have already prepared to stay a widow in the palace for the rest of my life. It was when the Imperial Concubine suddenly asked me if I was willing to leave the palace and remarry that I finally had some hope. Since my father doesn't want to, forget it. I..."

Madam Li interrupted her, "You can't just let it go! This is your lifelong happiness, how can you just let it go?! I'm going to go home and tell your father. If your father still doesn't agree, I'm going to run into a wall and die in front of him. I want to see, does he want fame, or a wife and daughter?!"

Before, she just thought her daughter was not favored, but she didn't expect that her daughter is still a virgin.

For five years, the emperor never touched Concubine Li.

Her precious daughter has been a widow for five years!

How many five years can we have in our life? !

Mrs. Li trembled with anger when she thought of this.

If her daughter had married into an ordinary family, Mrs. Li would have brought people to her son-in-law's house to argue with him.

But my daughter is marrying the emperor, who dares to say anything bad about the emperor?

Mrs. Li could only swallow back all her anger.

Princess Li was shocked because she didn't expect her mother's attitude to become so resolute in an instant.

"Mom, you are..."

Madam Li: "You are also stupid. You should have told me this earlier. If I had known earlier, I would not have waited until now... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this. It's not too late now. While you are still young, you can get out of this hell and marry a good family again."

Princess Li felt her mother's unreserved love and care, her heart was warmed, and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

She lowered her head and snuggled up to her mother like she did when she was a child.

"Mom, please talk to Dad. Don't quarrel with him, and don't do anything stupid. I would rather be a widow for the rest of my life than see you get hurt. Your health is more important than anything else."

Mrs. Li choked up and replied, "Yes, mother knows what's going on."

When Madam Li left Jinxiu Palace, her eyes were even redder than when she came.

For the next three days, Concubine Li did not see Madam Li again.

Concubine Li was a little worried about her mother's safety.

She wanted to go home and have a look, but as a concubine, she could not leave the palace at will.

In the end, she had no choice but to ask the imperial concubine for help.

When Xiao Xixi learned about this, she agreed readily.

"I just want to go out of the palace for a walk. You can go with me."

Concubine Li knew that the imperial concubine had a badge given by the emperor and could leave the palace at any time. She was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately knelt down and paid her respects to the imperial concubine.

"Thank you, Madam Concubine!"

Xiao Xixi: "When are you planning to leave?"

Princess Li was concerned about her mother's safety, so naturally the sooner the better.

So the two decided to leave the palace immediately.

They changed into civilian clothes and left the palace in a carriage.

There were more than a dozen Yulin Guards accompanying him.

They left the palace and headed straight for the Li family.

In the carriage, Concubine Li was uneasy. She was worried about her mother's safety and worried about how to face her father.

What should she do if her father insists on not agreeing to her leaving the palace and remarrying?
