Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 637 The Princess Knows Liu Shiqing's Cruelty

Of Empress Dowager Liu's body, only her neck and head could move.

She turned to look at the eldest princess and said helplessly, "I can let you see her, but you have to promise me that after the meeting, you will return to the Cining Palace and eat well, live a good life, and never make trouble again."

The eldest princess stopped crying, raised her sleeves to wipe the tears from her face, and nodded obediently.

Because she cried for too long, she began to hiccup when she spoke: "As long as I can see my mother, Yun'er will listen to the Imperial Grandmother in everything..."

Empress Dowager Liu glanced at Nanny Yuan and said, "Take the eldest princess to the cold palace to meet Liu."

Nanny Yuan hesitated: "Empress Dowager..."

After all, Liu was someone that His Majesty disliked.

Your Majesty is already wary of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

After the fall of the Zhenguo Mansion, His Majesty has more and more real power in his hands. The Dingguo Mansion dares not be as arrogant as before in the court. Even if there are small moves, they are only carried out in private.

This time, in order to prove that the Duke Dingguo Mansion had nothing to do with the assassination, and in order to avoid being caught by His Majesty, after Liu was banished to the cold palace, neither the Cining Palace nor the Duke Dingguo Mansion helped her.

Today, the Queen Mother asked her to take the eldest princess to the cold palace to visit Liu. This matter will inevitably reach His Majesty's ears.

Nanny Yuan is worried that His Majesty will be unhappy about this...

Empress Dowager Liu understood what she was thinking and said in a deep voice, "No matter what happened to her, she was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to the eldest princess for the emperor."

"Blood ties cannot be severed. How can there be any reason in the world to prevent a child from seeing his biological mother?"

"I am paralyzed, not dead, so I can't do this!"

After hearing this, Nanny Yuan no longer had any worries in her heart. She replied "yes" and took the eldest princess out.

Fearing that Liu would be sad to see the eldest princess with tears on her face, Nanny Yuan said to the little palace maid beside her, "Take the eldest princess to wash her face and change into festive clothes."

"Slave, you obey!"

After a long time, the eldest princess came back.

The two palace maids behind her were holding several packages in their hands.

Nanny Yuan asked in confusion, "Grand Princess, what is this?"

The eldest princess's small face showed an expression of heartache that was difficult to conceal: "Yun'er heard that those concubines who were banished to the cold palace all lived a miserable life. They didn't have enough to eat and didn't have warm clothes every day..."

"Yun'er was very worried about mother and didn't want her to suffer in the cold palace. So she brought a lot of old clothes and fresh snacks for mother."

At this point, the eldest princess glanced at Nanny Yuan and asked cautiously, "Nanny Yuan, is this okay?"

Nanny Yuan sighed repeatedly in her heart.

I don’t know how Liu, who was so domineering and impulsive, could give birth to such a well-behaved and sensible daughter like the eldest princess.

Perhaps, having a daughter like this is the luckiest thing in Liu's life.

His Majesty wanted Liu to go to the cold palace to repent, not to enjoy her life. Nanny Yuan originally thought that it was better to have less trouble than more.

But then she thought, this might be the last chance for the eldest princess to see Liu in her life, so she should just treat it as a chance to fulfill their mother-daughter relationship.

"……Can."

"Princess, please take all these things with you. If you need anything else, you can ask someone to prepare it."

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great! Thank you, Aunt Yuan!"

"The weather is still so cold now. What if mother gets cold in the cold palace? Yun'er also wants to bring some charcoal for mother..."

Everything was ready, and when they were heading to the cold palace, the palace servants behind the eldest princess were holding large and small bags in their hands.

Although Nanny Yuan acted very low-key, there were still many palace servants along the way who saw this scene.

The news quickly spread throughout the harem.

When Liu was first banished to the cold palace, many people were wondering whether the Empress Dowager would protect her?

Who would have thought that after such a long time, there was no movement in the Cining Palace. Instead, Concubine Wang was promoted to Concubine Dun and raised the third prince.

Everyone then realized that the Empress Dowager had completely given up on Liu and turned to supporting Concubine Dun.

So...what's the situation now?

Some people who didn't know the truth were thinking, could it be that the Queen Mother couldn't let go of her blood relationship and was ready to save Liu?

If Liu came out of the cold palace, wouldn't Dunpin's position be awkward?

Of course, many smart people, including Concubine Dun, did not take this matter to heart.

Now that the dust has settled, can there be a reversal?

If the Queen Mother wanted to save Liu, she would have done it long ago. Why would she have to wait until today?

It must be because the eldest princess kept crying and making a fuss that the empress dowager had no choice but to allow her to go to the cold palace to see Liu.

The eldest princess and her entourage were completely unaware of these speculations in the palace.

She hadn't seen her mother for such a long time. As she walked towards the cold palace with excitement, she heard the hateful conversations among many palace servants.

"It is God's will that Liu has ended up like this! My only sister was working in Yongshou Palace before. Because Liu was in a bad mood, she said that the tea my sister served scalded her, and she ordered people to beat my sister to death..."

"And my sister, she only had half a month left before she turned 25 and left the palace. Her family had already arranged a good marriage for her, and her fiancé's family was waiting for her to leave the palace and get married. But when my sister was tidying up the storeroom in Yongshou Palace, she accidentally touched the lantern that His Majesty had given to Liu, and Liu ordered both of her hands to be cut off..."

"My brother from the same hometown used to be a eunuch sweeping the Yongshou Palace. He worked diligently every day to clean the courtyard. One time, Liu and His Majesty had a quarrel, and she took it out on my brother, saying that he didn't sweep the floor clean, and had him dragged down and beaten with fifty sticks. My brother died after only the thirtieth beating..."

"My master..."

Like Chu Xiyan, there were too many palace maids who lost their loved ones or their families because of Liu Shiqing...

But in the past, she was the high and mighty Imperial Concubine and Concubine Shu, and not everyone had the courage and ability to retaliate against her like Chu Xiyan.

After Liu Shiqing fell from power, they all felt very happy. After learning about each other's experiences, they couldn't help but gather together and cry for their deceased relatives and friends.

"I just hate that Liu is still alive and well in the cold palace. Why doesn't she just die?!"

"After all, she gave birth to the eldest princess for His Majesty. How could His Majesty order her death? The lives of our relatives are worthless. They can only be considered to have died in vain..."

"Yes. If it weren't for the eldest princess, how could His Majesty allow Liu to live until now, given her many evil deeds?!"

"..."

In the past, Liu Shiqing never executed palace maids in front of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was still young, and there were so many palace maids in Yongshou Palace that she didn't notice if one or two were missing occasionally.

No one dared to gossip in front of her.
