Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1156

“Indeed, the Empress Dowager is right. Children cannot be without their parents. If Qinghe misses her parents, we can send her to Nanzhou.”

“She’s four years old this year, right? Don’t worry about her not adapting to life in Nanzhou,” Murong Yu said.

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly. "Qinghe is still young. How can she go to Nanzhou alone? Besides, she has been frail since childhood. She can't handle life in Nanzhou."

"If she can't bear the hardship of living in Nanzhou, then she can only endure the hardship of not having her parents by her side. All of this is her mother's fault. Who can she blame?" Murong Yu said unhappily.

They knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to bring the eldest princess back again.

General Xiao has just passed away.

How could she possibly ask that?

The Empress Dowager said, "That's not what I meant. I wanted you, as her uncle and aunt, to show some affection to Qinghe. She's not much different from Chang Le. When you show affection to Chang Le, can you consider Qinghe's feelings?"

"I treat both children equally, and I will give Chang Le a share of whatever I have now."

Recently, the Empress Dowager has indeed sent a lot of things, all for Chang Le and the four princes.

It turns out he was waiting here.

This is an unreasonable demand made by the Empress Dowager.

Murong Yu was so angry that he wanted to get up and leave.

Yun Xiyue said, "Mother, why do you say that? Does Qinghe mean we're not good to her?"

"Qinghe...didn't say anything, only that he envied Changle for having the Empress Dowager's love," the Empress Dowager said.

Yun Xiyue said, "That was our oversight, and we will pay attention in the future. After all, Chang Le is my biological daughter, and even the Empress Dowager probably cannot treat all the princes equally."

All I can say is that I will not mistreat her.

The Empress Dowager choked on her words, unable to find a rebuttal.

Seeing her, she said nothing.

Murong Yu then made an excuse to leave.

Yun Xiyue followed along.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. If you want to blame me, it's because Qinghe wanted to stay overnight in Jiaofang Palace with Changle that day. I didn't agree. Qinghe didn't grow up by my side; she's always been taken care of by the Empress Dowager. If something happened to her, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."

"Who knew the child would have such wild thoughts?"

It wasn't her fault at all; it was the Empress Dowager's problem.

"Ignore her, she can never change in her entire life."

"Tell Funing Palace that Princess Qinghe is not allowed to come and play with Chang Le anymore. She should stay in Funing Palace obediently, or she will be sent to Nanzhou."

These words were meant for the Empress Dowager to hear.

Yun Xiyue felt that he was angry, and if word got out, people would say that he was being harsh on his niece.

Qinghe was just a four-year-old girl.

"Your Majesty, let me handle this matter!"

Murong Yu's expression remained grim. "Once she gets a little older, we won't be able to send her away anymore."

"Or we could let the Liu family take them back and raise them."

There are other members of the Liu family.

However, the Empress Dowager might disagree with the idea that a merchant could not properly support the princess.

"I'll have someone think of a solution later. You don't need to worry about it."

The person definitely needs to be sent away, if the Empress Dowager finds out about his decision.

They definitely won't cause any more trouble.

Sure enough, Murong Yu intentionally revealed how he sent Princess Qinghe away.

The Empress Dowager was terrified when she found out.

If things escalate, it will be even more disadvantageous for Murong Yun, especially since General Xiao has just passed away. The entire court will be filled with grief and indignation and will blame Murong Yun.

They might even suggest killing her.

The Empress Dowager immediately sent someone to tell the Emperor that she would take Princess Qinghe to Lingquan Temple the next day to chant sutras and pray for General Xiao.

They took Qinghe away to seek refuge.

Things finally calmed down a bit in the palace.

Cui Yan was imprisoned.

Cui Yuqing felt better and wanted to visit her.

King Keling would definitely not agree.

Having no other choice, she went to the palace.

"See the Queen."

Yun Xiyue said, "Princess Ling, please rise. Are you feeling better?"

"Much better. It's all thanks to Your Majesty, otherwise Yuqing wouldn't have survived."

"Yuqing thanks Your Majesty." She knelt down again and did not rise. "Your Majesty, I have a request to make of you."
