Chapter 1526: Her Highness the Princess (76)

Although Lü Qing had almost forgotten the names Lü Yufan and Lü Yuzhi, hearing the three of them mentioned together brought his memories flooding back. Weren’t those the names of his son and daughter?

Lin Yuexiang nodded gently. “I am Lin Yuexiang. Surprised?”

“No… how could you be Lin Yuexiang? How could you possibly be Lin Yuexiang?” Lü Qing collapsed onto the floor. This time, every layer of his robes was soaked through, and not a trace of strength remained in his body.

Especially when he realized that the Little Divine Doctor was his daughter, this year's top scholar was his son, and the first female official of Northern Xia was his once humble wife.

Lü Qing simply could not believe it.

How could things have turned out like this?

“Lin Yuexiang was just a village woman. How could she possibly become a court official?” he muttered while lying on the floor, utterly unable to accept reality.

And his two children—how had they achieved such heights?

The people he had once looked down upon had all become so glorious, standing in places he now had to look up to.

Everything he had said earlier had become a joke.

The entire court had merely watched in silence as he performed like a clown.

“Your Majesty, the first reason this subject came today was to seek justice for my children and myself against Lü Qing. Secondly…” She paused before saying, “This subject wishes to separate from Lü Qing.”

“How can it simply be a separation?” Tang Guo suddenly interrupted.

The entire court, including the Emperor, turned to look at her. None of them believed the Grand Princess intended to speak up for Lü Qing.

Sure enough, she continued, “Lü Qing has committed such grave offenses. Leaving aside the crime of deceiving the throne, just abandoning his wife and children and attempting to kill them is already unforgivable. A simple separation would sound terrible if word got out.”

“How about casting him aside instead?” Tang Guo blinked at Lin Yuexiang. “Lord Lin, you are a court official. How can you merely separate from such a man? Casting aside your husband suits this situation much better.”

System: Host, you're going to break Lin Yuexiang.

Just look at Lü Qing’s face. He’s about to die from anger.

Lin Yuexiang came to her senses, her eyes lighting up.

“That’s right. Her Highness the Grand Princess is absolutely correct. This subject wishes to cast aside her husband.”

“Father Emperor, I also wish to cast aside my husband,” Tang Xi quickly added. “The Prince Consort is heartless and unjust. He abandoned his wife and children and even tried to frame me. I want no such husband.”

The Emperor's eyelids twitched, but he approved nonetheless.

Tang Guo raised her hand, and Yingzhu immediately brought out brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

The expressions of the court officials became indescribable.

So the Grand Princess had already prepared all of this in advance.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuexiang picked up the brush and began writing the letter of repudiation.

Her hand trembled slightly.

Repudiating her husband… it was her first time. She was genuinely excited.

Since ancient times, no one had ever written a letter of repudiation in the Golden Throne Hall before so many high officials—let alone one dismissing her husband.

After Lin Yuexiang finished writing, Tang Xi moved over.

“Imperial Sister, lend me your writing tools. I’ll certainly repay the favor another day.”

After receiving Tang Guo’s permission, Tang Xi swiftly wrote her own letter of repudiation. Once finished, she tossed it directly into Lü Qing’s face.

From now on, her life would be wonderfully carefree.

She could keep as many male favorites as she pleased. As long as she remained obedient and refrained from causing trouble, Father Emperor and Imperial Sister would not interfere with whatever she chose to do.

As for dreams of becoming the Grand Princess, she had abandoned those long ago.

She lacked her Imperial Sister’s talent and vision and could never become a role model for women. Rather than struggle for something beyond her reach, she would rather live freely and happily.

Her Third Imperial Brother was no match for the Crown Prince anyway. With his timid nature, he had no hope of succeeding.
