Though Mo Qiang was scared shitless by Fu Qi Hong's sudden sinister desire to become a commoner, she still tried to handle the situation calmly. She shook her head and stated in a calm voice, "That won't do. If you leave behind your status as the prince, I am worried that people will talk and make fun of the empress for not being able to show you the right path."
She was just a small merchant, even though she was considered someone whose powers and skills were rare and unique compared to the imperial family she was still lacking.
If she were to marry Fu Qi Hong in her current position, not only would she be bullied, her family would be targeted. Of course, this was because Mo Qiang never considered marrying in the imperial family. If she had known the plans Fu Zhao had for her, she would have run as fast as she could!
