Long Live the Empress

Chapter 127 It’s a foregone conclusion

Concubine Shu looked at Fan Ronghua who was crying bitterly, and then looked at the angry Second Prince, and didn't know what to do!

Fan Changyue fell down on the chair and said in a deep voice: "Fan Ronghua, the legitimate daughter of the Fan family, prays for the elders and is willing to become a nun for life! Never return to Beijing!"

Concubine Shu was stunned when she heard this. What did her father say? He actually wanted Hua'er to become a nun? "Father!"

Fan Ronghua has been a noble lady since she was young, and she never thought that she would be abandoned by her grandfather one day... "Grandfather! No, Grandfather! You have loved Hua'er the most since she was young, Hua'er begs Grandfather to have mercy on me..."

Fan Changyue looked at Fan Ronghua, whom he had taken good care of, kneeling on the ground in embarrassment and begging him to let her go. But he thought about his future great cause, and it was worth giving up a granddaughter! "Hua'er, either commit suicide or become a monk, you... choose..."

Fan Ronghua looked at Fan Changyue who had made up his mind, and sat on the ground for a long time without saying a word. Just now she was the object of everyone's envy and jealousy, but now she has become an abandoned child... What on earth is going on?

Concubine Shu also knelt on the ground, "Father! Now it's not Concubine Shu who is begging you, it's your daughter who is begging you! Please spare Hua'er for the sake of your daughter's hard work over the years! Father..."

Fan Changyue said nothing, just looked at Mrs. Fan who was silently standing beside him.

Concubine Shu no longer cared about her status and face, and knelt in front of Madam Fan, "You... don't... sister-in-law! Please, sister-in-law, for my brother's sake..."

Madam Fan slammed the table, "How dare you mention your brother? If you hadn't spoken to the Emperor and asked him to go on a diplomatic mission to another country, he wouldn't have been killed by the thieves! You made me a widow right after I got married, and my child became a posthumous child, so you can do whatever you want!"

Concubine Shu's eyes were erratic, and she secretly glanced at the Second Prince. Seeing that he was not unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief. "This palace... I thought it was a good opportunity for my brother to make a name for himself, but I didn't expect... It's all my fault. If you want to punish me, please punish me! Hua'er is innocent!"

Mrs. Fan didn't want to see Concubine Shu's face, so she stood up and saluted to Fan Changyue, "My daughter-in-law is exhausted both physically and mentally and is unable to handle this matter. You decide, father! I only ask that you do this for...his father's sake..." Mrs. Fan choked up and turned away.

"Sister-in-law!" Concubine Shu knelt on the ground, crying and calling Madam Fan, but she did not get a single glance back from Madam Fan.

Fan Ronghua felt very upset when she saw her mother walking away without even looking at her. Her mother had disliked her since she was a child. No matter what she did, she would be blamed or even punished by her mother. She thought her mother was a cold-blooded woman and treated her like this. Until one day, she saw her mother driving to the slums to deliver food to the beggars. When her mother looked at the little beggars, she showed kindness... She realized that her mother just didn't like her...

Fan Changyue thought of his son who died young, and then looked at the second prince who had grown up. He finally made up his mind, "It's settled. Don't say anything more! Hua'er...you go now!"

................................................

When the prince walked to a secluded place, Yue Jinghong caught up with him. "Your Highness!"

The prince looked at the breathless Yue Jinghong and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "Jinghong... This palace..."

"How could the prince... be with her?" Yue Jinghong couldn't accept what was going on between the prince and Fan Ronghua, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

The prince smashed his hand against the tree next to him, causing it to bleed. "Someone has plotted against me! He put...drugs in my wine!"

Yue Jinghong looked at the prince's bloody hand and quickly wrapped it with a handkerchief, "Prince is the son of the dragon, how can you hurt his skin so casually?"

The prince took the opportunity to grab Yue Jinghong's hand, "That medicine is really too powerful... That's why I... Actually, I mistook her for you..."

Yue Jinghong felt a little sad, but she forced a smile and said, "Then how are you going to place her, Prince?"

The prince embraced Yue Jinghong in his arms, "I will not make her the Crown Princess. You are the only Crown Princess for me! But she... is Fan Changyue's granddaughter after all. I have to give her a status and let her be a concubine!"

Yue Jinghong smelled the scent of Fan Ronghua on the prince, and hated him in her heart! But she said the most gentle words, "The prince's words are enough!"

The prince comforted Yue Jinghong for a while and then left.

Yue Jinghong rubbed her hands vigorously with a silk handkerchief. She felt sick whenever she thought about the prince's hand that had just touched Fan Ronghua!
