When the Empress Dowager learned of this, she even came to visit Xu Lingyi.
“After all, she has served the Emperor for many years and gave birth to Princess Minghua. Although I know that she tried to harm you last time, she is now about to pass away…”
Xu Lingyi nodded.
This was exactly what she wanted, so she naturally didn’t feel anything was wrong with it.
Besides, this kind of thing is normal; she can’t control what the Emperor wants to do.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I haven’t taken this to heart, nor do I feel uncomfortable about it. I think it’s perfectly reasonable, and it also shows that Your Majesty values relationships and righteousness.”
If the Emperor is not moved at all, then she should be worried about the cold-bloodedness of her bedmate.
“You are the most sensible person in the palace. Your mother has raised a good daughter.”
After comforting her and confirming that she was alright, the Empress Dowager began to praise Mrs. Xu.
The Empress Dowager praised Mrs. Xu for being good and also praised her daughter for being good. Mrs. Xu shook her head repeatedly and humbly said that she was not good.
Xu Lingyi quickly made an excuse to leave, as she did not like sitting with the two elders.
She thought that Princess Minghua would probably be entering the palace by now.
The coldness shown by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor during this period must have been a heavy blow to the proud and arrogant princess.
That was enough to transform her and teach her a lesson.
At least she would definitely learn to act obediently in front of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
When the Emperor and Empress Dowager see the Princess after not seeing her for many days, do they not feel anything at all?
Definitely not.
Hopefully, Princess Minghua will be smarter this time and not be caught by the Emperor and Empress Dowager beforehand.
She will try to help her.

“What did you say?” Princess Minghua grabbed the maid’s hand.
“My mother is seriously ill? How could that be? My mother is so young; she’s only in her thirties!”
Princess Minghua couldn’t believe it.
During this period, she experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
Since she had not entered the palace for a long time, many people in the capital had speculated that she had offended the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and thus fallen out of favor.
Princess Minghua found it ridiculous. She is the Emperor’s biological daughter. Why would she worry about her own father disliking her?
She wasn’t one of those playthings in the harem who could only survive by relying on her father’s favor.
Before learning of Xu Shi’s pregnancy, Princess Minghua didn’t care about these things at all. She was even still angry with the Emperor and Empress Dowager, waiting for them to coax her before she would forgive them for what happened.
As a result, she only received news that Xu Shi was five months pregnant.
She didn’t attend the palace banquet that time, and only after it was over did she learn from others that Xu Shi was already pregnant.
Everything became clear: because Xu Shi was pregnant, she was no longer the Emperor’s only daughter.
