"You will side with your seventh cousin! But it is your seventh cousin's wife who is suffering in the dark room now!"
Changle yelled, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably.
Meng Zhi's chubby face was almost wrinkled into a bun.
He held his forehead and said, "Changle County Princess, please listen to me and let me explain it to you! Don't be anxious."
Changle snorted, "You say!"
"Look, the cause of this incident is that the princess wanted to divorce the prince, so the queen mother was furious and locked the princess in a dark room, right?"
"Need I tell you?" Changle rolled his eyes. "If it weren't for Seventh Cousin's entanglement with Rong Yehua, there wouldn't be all this mess going on right now!"
"You can't just look at things this way!" Meng Zhi waved her large hands like a palm-leaf fan, "The princess had already considered divorce!"
"Isn't it because my seventh cousin favored his concubine over his wife? That Bai Fengyao is just a troublemaker!"
"No matter what the reason was, the princess did have the idea of divorce from the beginning!"
"Mengzhi, I know you're eloquent! But I wasn't brought up on a leash! If Seventh Cousin hadn't hurt Seventh Cousin's wife, how could there be a divorce? Anyway, Seventh Cousin did something wrong, so he should be punished. How could Seventh Cousin's wife be left in a dark room?"
She used to think that the Empress Dowager was a kind old lady, but after experiencing this incident, she felt that she should always remind herself that the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager.
If she doesn't get angry, everything will be fine. But if she gets angry, she will be the one who suffers!
"The prince is indeed wrong! But what we are talking about now is that the princess has made up her mind to divorce long ago!"
"If it wasn't for my seventh cousin who first hurt my seventh cousin's wife, how could these things have happened? It's clearly my seventh cousin who caused this situation today!"
Well, it’s an endless loop!
The corners of Meng Zhi's mouth kept twitching.
“Squeak—”
The wife of Duke Dingguo and the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong came in together.
"Yes, Princess Changle is right. If we really talk about who is right and who is wrong in this matter, Prince Chen is wrong!" The wife of Duke Dingguo made the final conclusion.
Meng Zhi showed an expression of despair.
"Madam Dingguo, I am now explaining the key point of this matter to the Princess of Changle!"
"You talk, and the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong and I would like to listen too." The wife of Duke Dingguo had a stern face and sat down with the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Changle put his hands on his hips and said, "Yes, tell me about it!"
"The princess is now locked in a dark room. Given the Queen Mother's fondness for her, she will definitely not let her suffer! Now the princess wants a divorce, but neither the Emperor nor the Queen Mother agrees! That's why the princess was locked in a dark room."
"Yes." Changle stared with red eyes.
"The Empress Dowager did this to force the Princess to give up the idea of divorce. If the Princess gives up the idea of divorce, won't it be easy for her to leave the dark room?" Meng Zhi was extremely tired.
"Seventh cousin has made up her mind!"
Changle gnashed his teeth in anger.
If seventh cousin hadn't hurt seventh cousin's wife, how could all this have happened?
"Let the princess pretend not to divorce first." Meng Zhi was almost foaming at the mouth.
"Seventh cousin-in-law won't agree!"
The wife of Duke Dingguo also nodded in agreement. "I also think that with the princess's personality, there's absolutely no way she would agree! Who knows, she might insist on it to the end!"
"Changle County Princess, the Empress Dowager always loves you very much. Why don't you go to the palace now and persuade the Empress Dowager or the Princess!"
If this matter is dragged on, the only one who will be hurt is Qu Li.
No matter what, get out of the dark room first!
Changle bit her lip and said, "Mother has entered the palace early this morning, and there is no news yet."
The wife of Duke Dingguo and the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong looked at each other and both felt that this matter was not easy to resolve.
"How about this, I'll go into the palace now and see if I can talk to the Empress Dowager." Lady Dingguo said.
Changle was so moved that she was in a mess. "On behalf of my seventh cousin, I would like to thank the wife of Duke Dingguo."
"polite!"
The wife of the Earl of Zhongyong also said, "I'll go too."
At this time, in the Cining Palace, in addition to the Grand Princess, even the Concubine Xian had come.
The two met outside the Cining Palace, and the eldest princess had an inexplicable expression.
"Your Highness, I think this marriage will bring a happy marriage for a hundred years. If it leads to a relationship of resentment, then it would be better not to get married at all."
The eldest princess looked at Concubine Xian deeply.
The virtuous concubine is the one who knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm the most. Why did she suddenly interfere in the matter between Qu Li and Xiao Xian?
The Empress Dowager had a tense face, and even had a few more wrinkles on her face.
"Xianfei, are you saying that I shouldn't have arranged marriages for Ah Xian and Qu Li?"
Xian Fei knelt down in fear and trepidation, "Empress Dowager, calm down! When you granted this marriage, it was naturally to help Prince Chen and Princess Chen be together! But after all these years, Bai Fengyao and Princess Ye Hua are between them. Even if there was still love between them, it would have been exhausted long ago!"
The Queen Mother said nothing.
"Empress Dowager, I naturally hope that Prince Chen will be happy!"
"Get up!" The Empress Dowager's forehead began to throb violently again.
The eldest princess simply came behind her and helped her press it.
After the virtuous concubine had said what she needed to say, she sat aside and sipped her tea quietly.
Xiao Ci had reminded her before not to get too involved, but this morning he actually sent her a message asking her to make this trip.
"Empress Dowager, the wife of Duke Dingguo and the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong request an audience."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said, "Announce!"
The Grand Princess was quite worried about Qu Li before she came, but when she heard that the two of them were coming, most of her worries were gone.
The wife of Duke Dingguo and the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong knelt down immediately.
"The Queen Mother is kindhearted and has been a vegetarian for many years. I beg you to forgive Princess Chen!"
The Empress Dowager patted the back of the eldest princess's hand, and the eldest princess stepped aside and sat down.
"You two rarely get involved in these messy things. What happened today?"
The wife of Duke Dingguo said, "Empress Dowager, if it weren't for Princess Chen, my grandson would have gone to hell long ago! And my life was saved by Princess Chen! I will always remember this kindness."
The wife of the Earl of Zhongyong also began to plead for mercy.
The Empress Dowager naturally knew what kind of personalities these two people had.
The more she pleaded for Qu Li, the more uncomfortable the Empress Dowager felt.
Such a good granddaughter-in-law was about to fly away, but Xiao Xian was seriously injured and could not return to Beijing!
And there is the old fox Rongwei, who is eyeing the position of Princess Chen covetously. She has to help Axian to suppress this situation!
"I will make the final decision on this matter! If it were an ordinary marriage, I would have turned a blind eye, but this marriage is a royal wedding!"
The wife of Duke Dingguo and the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong both showed worry on their faces.
The Empress Dowager's attitude is so firm, I'm afraid Qu Li will suffer a lot!
