Lin Qingyuan asked after Zhu Yu left, “What is Chen Qiyu still doing in the Eastern Palace?”
Lu Liangwei said, “Most of the Prince of Xuyang’s concubines have been sent off except for Chen Qiyu. She did not leave at the same time as them because of her pregnancy. She sent a message to me a few days ago saying she does not want to go to Xuyang, so I allowed her to stay. However, she can’t stay
for long according to the Palace rules. The Prince of Xuyang is now in Xuyang, after all. As the Prince of Xuyang’s concubine, she should head there to take care of him.”
“So, what does she want to see you about now?” Lin Qingyuan was curious.
Lu Liangwei shook her head. “I have no idea.”
It was not long before Zhu Yu led Chen Qiyu into the room.
Chen Qiyu knelt toward Lu Liangwei when she entered.
“Greetings to you, Your Highness.”

They did not know each other well and some rules still needed to be abided by.
Chen Qiyu stood up straight and was not surprised to see Lin Qingyuan there as well. She smiled at Lin Qingyuan.
Lin Qingyuan returned the smile.
“Have a seat, Beauty Chen,” Lu Liangwei said.
She turned to Zhu Yu and instructed, “Pour a cup of warm water for Beauty Chen.”
“Yes, Miss.” Zhu Yu left to get the water.
Chen Qiyu said gratefully, “Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness.”
Lu Liangwei shook her head and asked, “Is your health doing well now that you’re pregnant?”
The look in Chen Qiyu’s eyes dimmed and she suddenly stood up, only to kneel toward Lu Liangwei once more. “To be honest, Your Highness, I’m here with a request today.”
Lu Liangwei was slightly surprised. “Stand up first and we’ll talk more.”
Chen Qiyu shook her head and said with some bitterness, “I believe Your Highness knows very well about what happened to me. I returned to the Eastern Palace mainly because I wanted to get my revenge on Lu Yunshuang, But now, she is already dead and there is no point in my staying by the Prince of
Xuyang’s side. I beg of Your Highness to pass a decree for me to cut ties and leave the Prince of Xuyang.”
Lu Liangwei found it slightly difficult to approve the request.
Even though she understood where Chen Qiyu was coming from, there was still the baby in Chen Qiyu’s womb. It was not easy to cut ties with the Prince of Xuyang just like that.
If Lu Liangwei had given such a decree, the imperial censer would have her impeached while others would view her as a ruthless and wicked woman who abused her power as the Empress to bully a mere Beauty in the Palace. Even worse, they also might think Lu Liangwei could not forget the Prince of
Xuyang, and was just being jealous of his concubine.
Chen Qiyu began to feel worried when she saw that Lu Liangwei remained silent.
‘When the Crown Prince had been deposed, Chen Qiyu was actually quite happy about it.
It was because this was an opportunity for her to leave Long Chi.

However, if she wanted to cut ties with Long Chi, this child cannot be kept.
Chen Qiyu had agonized over this for quite a few days before finally making the decision to see Lu Liangwei today.
It took quite a while before Lu Liangwei said, “I can help you, but not through giving a decree.”
Chen Qiyu was taken aback, but when the words sank in, a look of delight appeared on her face. “What does Your Highness have in min
Before Lu Liangwei could say a word, Lin Qingyuan, who was at her side, could not hold it in any longer. “Faking your death,” she blurted.
Chen Qiyu gave Lu Liangwei a questioning look when she heard this.
Lu Liangwei nodded. “That’s right. We need to fake your death.”
“What about the child in my womb?” Chen Qiyu was a little hesitant and rather unwilling to let it go.
Lu Liangwei pursed her lips. “This concerns the bloodline of the imperial family. I would need to report this to His Majesty before I’m able to give you an answer.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Chen Qiyu knew very well what the outcome would be when the Empress said she needed to report to His Majesty before being able to give her an answer.
It was bearable since the fetus was only a couple of months old. She would still be able to take it if she had to relinquish the baby from her womb.
After all, there was always a price to pay if she wanted to cut ties with Long Chi..
