Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Since ancient times, the heart of an emperor has been hard to predict. King Liang once thought that his father loved his mother to the core.

He also sincerely supports himself as the crown prince.

Now I understand that his love can be divided equally, given to my mother or to Wang's daughter, to myself or to Xie Ruixuan.

He supported himself in order to suppress King Qi.

Now that Prince Qi is gone, he is almost the only one in power, and his father is using Xie Ruixuan to put pressure on him.

What kind of favor is this? It's just the emperor's mentality.

No wonder Prince Qi left so confidently. He must have seen through his father's true face a long time ago.

He knew that even if he left, his father would not make him the crown prince.

Now he has the support of court officials, but less favoritism from his father.

Xie Ruixuan now has the status of a legitimate son, and with the support of the emperor, it is hard to say how his situation will become after five or six years when he grows up.

Therefore, he could not wait and had to find a way to get the emperor to appoint him as the crown prince as soon as possible.

"Then what do we do now?"

Cui Panxi doesn't want to be just an ordinary princess. Moreover, if Prince Liang seizes power in this way and someone else ascends the throne in the future, she will have no chance of survival.

This King Liang is really unreliable.

"Xi'er, the only one we can count on now is our father. When we return home tomorrow, you must help me."

Prince Liang looked at Cui Panxi affectionately. As long as Prince Ning'an took the lead in asking for orders, those generals would support him.

By then, the emperor must appoint a crown prince. Xie Ruixuan has just been found, and it will not be enough to convince the people by appointing him as the crown prince. Then I will be the only one left.

The Yuanqing Kingdom should have appointed a crown prince long ago.

"But…"

Cui Panxi thought of what King Ning'an had said before and hesitated.

"Xi'er, you are now the Princess of Liang'an. We are one family with the Ning'an Palace. We prosper together and suffer together. Don't you understand this principle?"

"I understand what's the use. When my father agreed to let me marry you, he said that he would not get involved in party disputes."

Cui Panxi lowered her eyes. She couldn't say that in her father's eyes, Prince Liang was not fit to be the crown prince.

"Whether he participates or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he is already a supporter of the prince. If someone else ascends the throne in the future, the Ning'an Palace will no longer exist. How could my father be so confused?"

Prince Liang was furious. He had gone to great lengths to marry Cui Panxi not for show, but to gain Prince Ning'an's support.

"My father is stubborn, so I can't say anything."

Cui Panxi sighed. She naturally hoped that Prince Ning'an would support Prince Liang.

"Xi'er, I can only rely on you for this matter. You must help me when I return home tomorrow."

King Liang said anxiously that he could not wait any longer. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know what would happen in the future. He no longer had his mother, so he had to make plans as soon as possible.

"How to help?"

"The Ning'an Palace dotes on you extremely. As long as you threaten them with your life, they will definitely do whatever you want."

"No."

Cui Panxi shook her head. In order to marry King Liang, she had already hurt her father and mother's hearts. If she used such means to force them again, they would definitely be disappointed in her.

"Cui Panxi, we have no way out. Do you want me to hand over the crown prince to you?"

Hearing her refusal, King Liang lost his patience to coax her.

"Don't forget, you are now the Princess of Liang, and I am your husband. Whatever you do, you should put the Prince of Liang's Mansion first, not the Prince of Ning'an's Mansion."

"I..." Cui Panxi looked at his sinister eyes and took a few steps back in fear.

"Let's go back tomorrow and find out what our father has to say."

King Liang was silent for a moment, then smiled again.

"Well, don't worry, I have already made arrangements for your return visit. I will definitely make you feel very proud."

Cui Panxi forced a smile and nodded.

Prince Liang was indeed well prepared. Just for the return gift, he prepared two carriages, and he also specially selected suitable gifts for Prince Ning'an and his wife and Cui Nanjin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Looking at these things, Cui Panxi knew that even if King Liang had some ulterior motives towards her, he would still give her the respect she deserved.

The two got on the carriage and slowly left Prince Liang's Mansion.

No one noticed that standing inside the door was a woman with a graceful figure and eyes full of despair.

Yin Wumei clenched her fists tightly. She was not jealous of Prince Liang's favor for Cui Panxi.

What made her jealous was that when she returned home, King Liang not only did not accompany her back, but also did not even prepare a decent gift.

It was obvious that she was treated as a concubine of the lowest rank.

Sometimes she thought that it would be worse than hanging herself than entering Prince Liang's mansion, but she didn't have the courage.

It's really ridiculous. She and Cui Panxi should have been in Prince Qi's Mansion, but now they are both in Prince Liang's Mansion.

It seemed that Prince Liang disliked her for having served Prince Qi for several years and thought she was unclean. After she entered the palace, he placed her there like a decoration and never went to her yard once.

She was like a transparent person in Prince Liang's mansion.

His existence was just a tool used by King Liang to humiliate King Qi and win over the Yin family.

"Madam, news just came from the Yin family that Lord Wei and Lord Xu were punished by the emperor for slandering Mr. Li Zhi and Mei Ran."

Yin Wumei's heart skipped a beat. When she received news a few days ago that the emperor was going to investigate Mei Ran's affairs, she had guessed this result.

Mei Ran’s affairs cannot withstand investigation at all. The emperor will not touch Cui Panxi, but he will definitely punish himself.

She went to ask King Liang for help, but King Liang already had Princess Rong'an and was unwilling to care about her life or death.

What awaits her seems to be a dead end.

It seemed that her use had been fulfilled for both the Yin family and the Prince Liang's Mansion.

She smiled bitterly and looked at the maid beside her, "Tell me how to leave in a more decent way."

She didn't want to go to jail.

"Madam." When the maid heard her words, she couldn't help crying.

She had followed Yin Wumei since she was a child. They entered the palace together, then entered Prince Qi's Mansion together, and later entered Prince Liang's Mansion together.

She knew that her young lady was ambitious and would never be content to be inferior to anyone. Moreover, she was intelligent and hardworking, so she deserved to be worthy of a man like Prince Qi.

But the reality is unpredictable, and things have come to this point, and there is no turning back.

She choked up and said, "Miss, no matter what you choose, this servant will accompany you."

"No, after I die, you will leave the Liang Palace. I have left you a sum of money to ensure that you will have no worries in the second half of your life. You must live with my share."

Yin Wumei looked up at the sky. In her life, she was either scheming against others or being schemed against by others. The only person who treated her sincerely was the maidservant beside her. How could she bear to let her go with her?

"Go find some medicine that tastes sweeter."

She hates bitter things the most.

"Miss, it's not time yet."

"No need to wait. I don't want to die in jail. Just go ahead."

Before the truth is revealed, she could leave in a dignified manner.
