Her life was not in danger, so she began to worry about other things: "My daughter is now locked in a prison car, and she is not allowed to receive water or rice. She is also being humiliated by so many people watching her as a prisoner. With her personality, how can she have the face to interact with other officials in the future?"

Princess Changle's every word was full of motherly kindness, but Prince Qi didn't take it seriously and said, "Then just be quiet for a few days. After this incident, it's a good time to control your temper and stop relying on your status to bully others."

His words were full of contempt for his daughter, which made Princess Changle, who was already worried about her daughter, even more annoyed. She snorted coldly, "You just don't like me, and you also dislike the two children. Xiao'er is of noble status, how can she not have a temper? How can you go around bullying others!"

Prince Qi did not want to argue with her, so he stood up and was about to get off the carriage, but she hugged his waist to stop him.

"After all these years, why don't you forgive me? I told you that Chen Ge'er's death had nothing to do with me. I admit that I didn't like the child that woman gave birth to for you, but I was a new mother myself at the time, and no matter how cruel I was, I couldn't do anything to a child."

Princess Changle's beautiful face was stained with moisture. She looked at her husband with tearful eyes and cried, "Qi Lang, please believe me for once. Chen Ge'er's death was really an accident. I didn't want it to happen."

Prince Qi calmly grasped the hand on his waist, slowly pulling it away, and said calmly, "It's all in the past, no need to mention it again."

"If it really happened, why would I mention it again!" Princess Changle hugged his waist tightly, her tone bitter: "It's ok that I can't win against a dead person, but my children can't win against a dead person either!"

"You blame me for breaking up you and that woman, I admit it, but how can I blame her for something I didn't do? What's so good about her that you've been thinking about her for so many years, am I not good enough?" Her husband's attitude towards their daughter's accident became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Princess Changle vented all the grievances she had suffered over the years and said in a hoarse voice, "I, the eldest princess, married you to please you, and to please your parents, your brother and sister-in-law. I think I did a good job, but when Chen Ge'er got into trouble, everyone doubted me. No one has believed me over the years!"

"Do you think I don't know what people outside are talking about? They said I couldn't stand Chen Ge'er occupying your position as the eldest son, and I wanted him to make room for my Yan'er," she sneered, "How ridiculous! On the day Xiao'er was born, my father issued an edict to confer her the title of Princess. Will my Yan'er lack wealth and nobility in the future?"

Since the establishment of the Da Ling Dynasty, there has been no precedent of conferring a title on a boy without merit, even for a prince. Therefore, Princess Changle's eldest son is still a commoner now. But it can be expected that when the child grows up, he will definitely get a title if he has some merit.

Princess Changle was born noble and had high expectations. She did not want to bear the infamy of harming a child for the sake of a duke title that might come in who knows how many years.

She didn't want her lover to misunderstand her like this, so she made up her mind to make it clear. She was almost emotionally broken and said, "I do hate that woman, but I didn't touch her son. Can you please believe me this time and stop blaming me? Isn't it enough that you have tortured me all these years?"

Prince Qi stood quietly, and at one moment the corners of his lips seemed to raise a slight arc, but he finally suppressed it. He pushed the woman in his arms away and said softly, "I know."

What she said from the bottom of her heart was only met with his simple "I know".

Princess Changle stared at the man in front of her in a daze. She felt that her heart, which had originally been cold and could not be hurt any more, suddenly sank. She said in disbelief, "Qi Mingrui, you are really made of stone. I have been warming you for eighteen years, but you can't even warm me up a little bit?"

"That woman is dead, she is dead! Didn't you write the divorce letter yourself? Your Qi family divorced her overnight for the sake of the Lord. I didn't force you to do that, did I? Now that she has been dead for so many years, you won't let yourself go, and won't let me go. Is that interesting?"

"You were the one who divorced her, you were the one who asked my father to marry me, you were the one who welcomed me into the Qi family in a sedan chair, and you were the one who gave birth to my two children. You are blaming me for her death alone. Isn't that too unreasonable!"

Her words were too harsh to hear. The expression of the Qi prince, who had been calm from the beginning to the end, finally changed. His eyes suddenly showed a strong fierceness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Am I the one who won't let you go? It's you who won't let her go!"

Divorcing Yu Niang was also about saving her life.

If we follow your majesty's words and demote her to a concubine, not only will their Chen'er become a bastard, but if Yu Niang really falls into the hands of the princess, she will not only be humiliated, but she will probably have no chance of survival.

He could not ignore the safety of the Qi family and go against His Majesty's wishes, nor could he bear to demote Yu Niang to a concubine. The only way was to divorce her and send her back to her parents' home. This was the only way he could think of to protect everyone under the oppression of imperial power.

But what is the result?

He failed to protect anyone. The Yue family collapsed, Yu Niang hanged herself, and even their children had no place to stay in their own home.

Yu Niang will never forgive him, and Chen Er blames him for not being able to protect them and their son.

Who was responsible for his fate of being separated from his wife and children?

Because of whom!

"You finally said it, didn't you? You finally said it!" Princess Changle laughed and pointed at him, "Why wouldn't I let her go? Because she deserves to die! Even though she was divorced, she still made you worry about her every day and have secret meetings with her."

"Do you think I don't know? You bought a villa in Liujiao Hutong and you would go out to see her from time to time. I wanted to let her go, but she insisted on snatching me away. She was looking for death!"

As she spoke, she pulled his sleeve and said happily, "If she wasn't dead, you wouldn't even look at me, but when she died, we had a child. When I was pregnant with Xiao'er, I thought that even if we were enemies, we would always be entangled in each other's lives.

"After Xiao'er was born, in order to accumulate blessings for her, I showed a little more kindness to the child left by that woman. I didn't harm him, I really didn't harm him!"

She had come back here after many twists and turns, and she didn't want him to misunderstand her the most.

She loves him so much that she has spent half her life trying to impress him, and it has become an obsession.

An obsession that even she herself couldn't control.

But Qi Mingrui only heard her talking about the child, and couldn't help but sneer: "How did Xiao'er come here? Don't you know? I was so drunk, and Her Highness the Princess was willing to offer herself. She is really willing to take the risk."
