Jiang Ning asked, “Didn’t Concubine Jin intercede for you? The Emperor favors her the most.”

“No matter how much the Emperor dotes on any of his concubines, he would never link them to the matters of the previous dynasty. Last time, when Prince of Huai was imprisoned, Concubine Xian knelt outside the door, but Emperor Father ignored her. This time, when King of Chen was punished, Concubine Lan hanged herself, and Emperor Father still remained indifferent. It’s impossible for the harem to influence the court in Emperor Father’s eyes,” Li Hongyuan added, “Moreover, my concubine mother would not intercede for me on this matter.”

“Does she have a grudge against you?”

“She’s just naturally detached and doesn’t like Emperor Father or me.”

“Why?”

“It’s because Emperor Father doesn’t really like her, but he likes your mother, Lin Zizi. He sees her only as a substitute for Lin Zizi. If you were her, would you be happy?” Li Hongyuan’s cold eyes fixed on her.

Jiang Ning said, “In that case, Concubine Jin should also hate me.”

“You’re overthinking. My concubine mother would not be herself if she held onto love and hate so much.”

“Alright, pretend I never said anything.”

Jiang Ning raised her hand, ending the topic, “There’s one more thing I want to ask.”

“Ask.”

“When you go to guard the Imperial Mausoleum, what about Li Teng and Maid Fang?”

“Since you’re not going, they have to follow.”

“Oh.” Jiang Ning nodded her head.

Although it was a disguised exile, he was still a prince, living in a large mansion. It was impossible for a young man of eighteen or nineteen not to have women by his side to serve him.

Li Hongyuan glanced at her, “What, are you jealous?”

“No. I was just thinking that it’s better if they leave, so the residence will be quiet and save me the trouble.”

“True.”

Both of them spoke in a plain tone.

“You stay with the children then, I’ll go back to my room first.” Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair away.

Li Hongyuan watched her back for a while.

He stayed at Jiang Family until the afternoon, spending most of the time with the two children.

In the evening, when Jiang Yi returned, he invited Li Hongyuan for dinner.

When Jiang Ruobai came back, the whole residence had heard the news.

Prince Yu would be leaving Chang’an City tomorrow.

Maybe he would never have the chance to come back.

Lin Zizi was a little nervous. Jiang Ruobai comforted her that the Emperor, considering Jiang Ning’s frailty and the children’s young age, allowed them to stay in the Prince Yu’s residence and continue living there.

But Lin Zizi didn’t feel happy at all, only feeling that the Emperor was too heartless.

On the eve of Prince Yu’s departure, he conferred Jiang Ning as the Princess Consort of Yu. Wasn’t this tying her children down and forcing them to live as widows for the rest of their lives in the royal family?

This was simply a sinister move.

The next day, Jiang Ning got up early and personally watched the wet nurse dress and feed the two children.

After they had finished, she took the two children to see off Prince Yu.

Everything in the Prince Yu’s residence was packed, and several carriages were arranged as if they were moving.

Not to mention Prince Yu’s clothes, books, and other belongings, but Li Yuanyuan and Ms. Fang’s things were also essential.

Li Yuanyuan was not a problem, but Ms. Zhao’s eyes were red and heavy with worry, as if she was facing death.

When they saw Jiang Ning coming, they hurried over to greet her.

“Slave pays respect to the Princess Consort.”

“No need for formalities.” Jiang Ning looked at them and smiled, “What happened to Madam Zhao?”

Maid Fang choked up and asked, “Is the Princess Consort leaving?”

“I’m staying behind to look after the house.”

“Can this slave also stay behind to serve the Princess Consort?” Maid Fang lowered her head.

“You don’t want to go with His Highness?” Jiang Ning was surprised.

Li Yuanyuan said, “She’s been crying since last night, all because she’s reluctant to leave Chang’an City and its luxurious life, and doesn’t want to follow His Highness to suffer hardships..”
