Feng Hongyu was silent for a while and nodded.
After the father and daughter finished talking, Ling Changshi went to invite the empress and her entourage into the house.
"It's better to talk about it."
The Queen glanced at Hong Feng Hong Yu, whose eyes were red.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me that if you don't want to go back, you should stay in Li Country and live with your father. When the time comes, I will help you choose a husband and servant, and I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
Feng Hongyu looked at the prince standing beside her. He was tall and slender, and his features were as gentle and handsome as when she first met him, making her unable to look away.
Feeling Feng Hongyu's gaze, the prince smiled and nodded to her.
A sour feeling surged in her heart, and Feng Hongyu withdrew her gaze.
I said silently in my heart, goodbye, my beloved.
Although she was reluctant, she also understood that the prince had no feelings for her, and since she had fallen in love with him, it was not appropriate for her to be a concubine anymore.
Because once there is love, jealousy will follow, and she doesn't want to become a jealous person.
Feng Hongyu put away his thoughts and said in a hoarse voice, "I beg the Queen Mother to grant me this favor."
"What is it?"
"I beg the Emperor to demote my father and me to commoners and allow us to live outside the palace."
The empress hadn't expected that she would beg her for this matter. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Do you blame me?"
Feng Hongyu shook her head, "No blame."
I never cared about it, so where does the resentment come from?
"Now that Feng Qingqing is dead, no one will harm you from now on. I will choose a good husband for you. So you still insist on becoming a commoner?"
Feng Hongyu's tone was firm.
"Yes, that's my only request."
As for being a good husband, she thought that she would never be attracted to anyone else in her life.
The scene where Prince Tianqi reached out his hand to her when he saved her will be deeply engraved in her mind for the rest of her life, and no one can replace it.
"Your Majesty, I know you have disliked me and Yu'er over the years. I plotted against you because I promised the Queen that I would stay by your side."
The Queen knew that the Queen cared about him, and she was even more worried that after his death, the Queen would give all her love to the child in her belly, thus spoiling the bad child, so she made sure that he stayed with the Queen.
"What did the Queen tell you?"
The Queen was a little excited.
"The Queen said that if the child you are carrying is not up to the task, she asked me to advise you to appoint another Crown Prince and not let him do anything that would harm the people."
"Then why didn't you tell me all these years?"
The Queen demanded, "Why didn't you tell me what the Queen said to you before she died?"
Ling Changshi gave a wry smile.
"After the Queen died, you wanted to send all the people who served him out of the palace. I had no choice but to trick you into letting me stay. You did keep me, but you didn't want to see me again."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that he doesn’t have the chance to say it.
"So you've been wanting to see me so many times because you want to talk about this."
At that time, she thought that Ling Changshi wanted to see her in order to protest his innocence and make excuses, so she became more and more disgusted with him and didn't want to see him at all.
"Now that you and the Queen's child have been found, I can go and live my own life."
Ling Changshi knelt on the ground.
"So, please let Yu'er and I leave the palace."
The Queen rubbed her brows and said, "Get up first. When Hongyu's injury is healed, I will let you leave the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Minister Ling kowtowed heavily, his face full of joy.
…
After coming out of Feng Hongyu's house, the group went to the front hall.
The empress thought of Prince Duan and Yuan Can and looked at the prince.
"Your Highness, are you going to take these two Crown Princes back and deal with them?"
"Take him back and deal with him."
Prince Duan was a prince after all, so he naturally had to be taken back and dealt with.
"Okay, thank you for today."
The Queen said sincerely, "If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"It's not good for Tianqi if Li Country is in chaos."
The prince finished speaking with a smile and asked Qian Jue.
"In a few days, the Imperial Palace will take Luo'er and Empress Xian back to Tianqi. What about you?"
The Queen looked at Qian Jue and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Her son had no feelings towards her at all. If he had any resentment, she could let him vent, and if he hated her, she could bear it.
But there was nothing there, as if she was a stranger and she had no idea where to start.
"Go back to Tianqi."
Qian Jue answered as a matter of course, "At least I have to let the princes know that Luo'er has a brother like me."
The prince: “…”
"Jue'er, you can write to inform me about this."
The Queen said softly, "If you miss Luo'er, you can let her stay for a few more days."
"Yes," the Prime Minister, who had been silent for a long time, quickly spoke up, "Your Highness, you must stay. Now only you can inherit the throne."
The second princess asked to leave the palace, and the prince who was found was determined to run to Tianqi, which gave the prime minister a headache.
What if His Highness runs away and never comes back? Who can these ministers who have seen hope cry to?
"Your queen is still young, there is no rush for this."
Qian Jue called him alienated and looked like he would not change his mind.
He accepted the status, but he was indeed not interested in the throne.
The Queen had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let Luo'er and cousin stay for a few more days."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that my father misses Luo'er and Empress Xian, so he asked me to come. If you continue to delay, I'm worried that my father will send more people."
What the prince didn't know was that the emperor did have this plan.
[The Calabash Brothers come to save Grandpa, one after another.]
"But Daddy is so cunning. He sent my uncle to Qiang first, as if he was afraid I would sneak off to Qiang again."
The prince laughed in his heart, his father really thought so.
"Then wait until Minister Jiang is beheaded and Jue'er's identity is made public and he leaves. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"good."
It only took a few days for the prince to agree.
[Why are you leaving? I haven't found a way to save my third brother yet.]
"I have one more thing to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The empress remembered what Concubine Xian said about her husband abandoning his wife and daughter, and wondered if Emperor Tianqi was not good to Concubine Xian, so she made up this lie.
"Queen, please speak."
"How does your emperor treat my cousin?"
The prince was stunned, wondering why the queen asked this question.
"My cousin said her husband abandoned his wife and daughter. I wonder if it's because they're not living well in Tianqi."
Empress Xian: “…”
She didn't expect that this matter was not over yet. She wanted to say something but heard the prince say, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. Father would abandon anyone but not Luo'er and Empress Xian."
My father doesn't say how much he loves Empress Xian, but he will never abandon her.
After all, Empress Xian is Luo'er's mother and the general's sister.
[This is so funny! I can't stand the fact that my mother lied to me.]
The Prime Minister couldn't help feeling disappointed after hearing what the Crown Prince said. She thought that if it was true, then she could keep both the little princess and Concubine Xian and make them people of their Li Kingdom.
"Is that so?"
The Queen laughed and said, "I was just worrying too much."
