章 289: Chapter 289: Can this servant also stay and serve the Princess Consort?

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.
