Chapter 288: Exile in Disguise

"But, His Majesty had just issued an edict making me the Princess Consort of Yu, and Wenzan and Lingzi were named the Crown Prince and Princess respectively. Isn't this his way of saying we should accompany you?"

"Emperor Father didn't say. Whether you, the weak, and the young ones leave or not, probably no one cares."

"Then, after you go to the Imperial Mausoleum for the holiday, can you come back?"

Li Hongyuan looked at her, "Do you really not understand?"

"What?"

"Me going to the Imperial Mausoleum to guard the tomb is a nicer way of putting it. To be frank, I've been exiled."

"Ex...exiled?"

"What else? Do you only worry about Wenren Zong going to the harsh climate of Lingnan, thinking the bitter cold of the Imperial Mausoleum is comfortable?" Li Hongyuan sneered, "Think about it yourself, for these exiled people, unless there's a general amnesty, is there any possibility of returning? Do you really think Wenren Zong can return?"
