Inside the Zhan Huai Hall in Changchun Garden, Prince An, Yue Le, knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, pleading with Emperor Kangxi to allow his Eighth Prince's wife to divorce him, or even to fake her death.
"Yue Le, what's wrong with you?" Kangxi realized that Yue Le was determined not to let Lady Guo Luoluo suffer any injustice.
“Your Majesty, the girl lost her father and mother when she was young, and I have been raising her by her side. So, she is inevitably a bit spoiled and cannot be competent for the position of primary consort!” Yin Si stood aside, wanting to stop Yue Le from saying more.
After the Eighth Prince's wife was pushed over last time, she seemed to have become a different person. She never let him into the courtyard again and always sent him to Zhang Gege's courtyard.
In stark contrast to her previous arrogance, when news of Zhang Gege's pregnancy spread, the Eighth Prince's wife even specially sought out Imperial Physician Yuan to take care of Zhang Gege.
Emperor Kangxi saw this and felt that the Eighth Prince's wife had matured a lot and grown a lot. He thought that the young couple, Yinsi and his wife, could live together. Who would have thought that Yue Le would come to oppose them today?
"Yue Le, you should know the rules of the royal family. There is never a case of a consort being divorced!" Kangxi stated directly.
"This servant has woken up. If you are worried, you can have the maid fake her death. This servant will personally arrange for the maid to remarry and not come to the capital again." Yue Le regretted it a little. If the Eighth Prince's wife had married someone else, it would have been a much more satisfactory outcome.
Upon hearing this, Yin sneered inwardly. Yue Le's methods were quite good. Back then, the Eighth Prince's wife was already middle-aged when she was divorced. In the end, she was married off to Mongolia by Prince An.
Inside the flower hall, Princess Consort An also pleaded with Consort Tong. For the first time, Princess Consort Eight knelt on the ground, ready to obey her family's arrangements.
Looking at the Eighth Prince's wife's calm face, Qingyan admired this woman who dared to love and hate so fiercely. She was able to remain calm even when facing the harshness and difficulties of the royal family.
"Guo Luoluo, are you sure you want a divorce?" Consort Tong saw the Eighth Prince's wife from the past. Back then, Consort Yi would often summon the Eighth Prince's wife to the palace to play. Consort Tong thought the Eighth Prince's wife was very cheerful and had a fiery temper. She also thought that having her as a daughter-in-law was good, better than those wives who stirred up trouble in the harem.
Since falling in love with Yinsi, Lady Guoluo seemed to have become a different person, focusing all her thoughts and attention on him, and her jealous and ruthless nature became increasingly apparent.
"Yes, Your Highness, I really can't go on like this anymore. When I was first injured by the Eighth Prince, I didn't even know what I had done wrong!" Guo Luoluo raised her head to meet the scrutiny of Consort Tong.
The Eighth Prince's wife had some bruises on her face today. Yin Si had hit her again, which angered Lady Guo Luoluo. In addition, Yue Le and the Prince's wife came to see her, and all the resentment, bitterness and grievances from two lifetimes erupted.
Now that Yue Le is still alive and I am young, I am sure I will be able to find a better partner.
"Fine, if you think you're right, I won't stop you any further." Consort Tong was easy to talk to; being a woman herself, she understood the pain in the Eighth Prince's heart.
Consort Hui echoed, "Guoluo clan, if you choose to leave the royal family, you might be allowed to fake your death and live under a different identity. Would you choose the Guoluo clan or the Prince An's family?"
八福晋苦笑起来，她首次被揍，与郭络罗氏的人提过，想要和离，不想在八爷身边了，他们为了自家的利益，甚至劝解他，若是离开了胤祀，很难有一个真心的爱人了。
Unlike the others, Yin did not privately inquire whether she was truly unable to make ends meet.
“It’s the Anqin Prince’s family. Guo Luo Ma Fa and Guo Luo Ma Ma are very kind to me. I’m willing to become their daughter!” The Eighth Princess Consort has a high status in the Anqin Prince’s mansion, but she is an orphan in the Guo Luo Luo clan and no one ever cares about her.
They'll only be nice to her superficially if they want something from her; in reality, they don't care about their own lives.
"Alright!" Consort Tong nodded, agreeing to the Eighth Prince's wife's request.
Before they arrived, Kangxi had instructed Consort Tong that if the Eighth Prince's wife proposed a divorce, she should fake her death and live under a different identity.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness!" Princess Consort of Prince An wept. Her child, whom she had watched grow up, had suffered such injustice. For them, it was well worth it to be able to give their child a better future based on their past military achievements.
Consort Tong shook her head, looking at the Crown Princess sitting in the lower left seat. Back then, when the Eastern Palace took action, not a single member of the Guarjia clan stood up for the Crown Princess.
Qingyan carefully observed the Crown Princess's expression. She envied the Eighth Prince's wife. Regardless of why the Prince An's mansion was helping the Eighth Prince's wife, as long as someone stood up for her, it was even if they were stronger than her.
"Eighth sister-in-law, you must cherish your family!" the Crown Princess said abruptly.
At this moment, the Crown Princess's eyes were already dull and lifeless.
"Crown Princess, I understand!" Guo Luoluo understood the Crown Princess's helplessness. Guarjia chose profit and completely abandoned the Crown Princess.
"Princess Consort An, please get up quickly." Consort Tong made Princess Consort An kneel, but only for show.
After all, if the Princess Consort were to divorce or fake her death, others would find out in private, and in that case, the Princess Consort of Prince An would have to punish her.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Princess Consort of Prince An quickly expressed her gratitude.
The Eighth Prince's wife helped the First Prince's wife to her feet, and the two walked together to the back to sit down. Consort Hui also felt sorry for the Crown Princess. Although the Crown Princess was very concerned about her image in public and acted dignified and generous, Guarjia clan was not helpful and often caused trouble for the Crown Princess.
"My dear mother, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go back now!" The Crown Princess stood up, hoping to return home and soothe her grief.
Consort Tong nodded, and after the Crown Princess bowed, she left the flower hall. Qingyan watched the Crown Princess's departing figure, which appeared so desolate.
"Princess Consort An, did Prince An say how he would help the Eighth Prince's family?" Consort Tong also wanted to ask about the Eighth Prince's future.
"Yes, Your Highness has already seen several people, all of whom grew up with her when she was young. Two of them are very good, at least they won't beat her anymore. Your Highness, I really feel sorry for her!" Princess Consort An cried.
Consort Tong felt a pang of sadness. Prince An's requirements were very low; as long as there was no domestic violence, that was enough.
Qingyan listened intently and noticed that the Eighth Prince's wife did not speak up to stop them. Those men were probably the husbands that Prince An had chosen for her. Perhaps, without Yinsi's appearance, the Eighth Prince's wife would have been very happy.
"Yes, you've handled it well. Just make sure the royal family doesn't become a laughing stock." Consort Tong agreed, believing that the Eighth Prince's wife deserved better.
