Chapter 703: Chapter 713: Considerate Yuwen Luanfei

This voice came from the Imperial Palace.

As it happened, the Dowager Consorts who had originally resided in Fahua Temple had returned to the Imperial Palace because of the rebels, yet the shadow left by Fahua Temple was too great, and the Dowager Consorts could neither rest by day nor sleep by night.

Especially those Dowager Consorts who still had sons, each expressed the desire to live with their sons.

Yuwen Luan Fei’s mother was better off—her son was in the Prince’s Mansion, and going out took but a moment.

But it was not so easy for the Eldest Prince’s mother.

After all, the Eldest Prince was far in the Western Region, and escorting the Dowager Consort from the Imperial Capital there was risky; what if someone with an agenda assassinated the Dowager Consort on the way and then blamed it on Yuwen Luan Fei?

Thus, it was impossible for Yuwen Luan Fei to send the Dowager Consort west.

At this time, the Third Prince’s mother stepped forward. She said her son had passed away and posed no threat to anyone, so no one would assassinate her.

She would go and offer incense for her son, and should anything happen on the road, she would take responsibility. Would this work now?

Yuwen Luan Fei still dared not approve.

Although his ninth brother had passed away, she was still the Late Emperor’s concubine in the end; if she were humiliated on the way back or after returning, it would be the honor of The Celestial Family that was disgraced.

Therefore, she couldn’t leave either.

If these two majors couldn’t leave, it was even less likely for the other concubines to leave.

As a result, everyone in the palace sighed and lamented every day, with some even falling ill from depression.

Watching each daughter-in-law pining for her sons to the point of sickness, the Empress Dowager was so vexed she almost wished to grant them white silk to follow the Late Emperor and be done with it.

Seeing one Dowager Consort after another fall ill, Yuwen Luan Fei couldn’t help but sigh, "Dearest Dowager Consorts, do not be anxious. The current situation is highly chaotic, and permitting you to leave now would be the true disrespect.

Nevertheless, I understand that the Dowager Consorts miss their loved ones. I am drafting invitations these days, preparing to reunite the Royal Family in the Imperial Palace once again."

"What?"

The Eldest Prince’s mother’s eyes lit up immediately, "Are you telling the truth?"

Yuwen Luan Fei bowed, "I have urgent matters to discuss with my eldest brother and ninth brother, it is indeed true. And I am also preparing to invite all children, be they Princess or from your maternal families. If afterward you wish to depart with your maternal family, you are free to do so."

The group of Dowager Consorts had never anticipated that Yuwen Luan Fei would make such a decision, for they thought they would never leave the red walls again in this lifetime!

"You..."

"I understand the feelings of the Dowager Consorts, just as I constantly miss Ying County. You have served the Late Emperor for so many years, having no notable merits but undeniable hardships. Now is the time to properly choose a blessed place to enjoy your remaining years."

After hearing Yuwen Luan Fei’s decision, the Dowager Consorts suddenly felt their sicknesses lift, and their bodies grew stronger.

Wenren Pinging silently watched all that transpired, only sighing after leaving the garden of the Dowager Consorts.

"What now?" It was hard enough for Yuwen Luan Fei to clear away the Dowager Consorts’ frowns, yet now Wenren Pingting had started to sigh.

Could this illness be contagious?

Wenren Pingting gave him a worried glance.

"Your Highness is always considering the Dowager Consorts, but have you considered yourself?"

Yuwen Luan Fei was stunned, "Solving the old ladies’ problems, what impact could it possibly have on me?"

"Does Your Highness realize how many letters the princes have written in the past requesting to take the Dowager Consorts away, all intercepted by my father?"

"I am well aware," Yuwen Luan Fei nodded. "But at that time, the Prime Minister was worried the princes might emulate Prince Heqing, pretending to retrieve their relatives while leading troops to attack the Imperial Capital, so he did not permit them to come to take their relatives."
