Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1542

Chapter 1542: Chapter 1537: Softhearted

All these royal relatives... so-called elders, had to come to him at this time, using this matter to sow discord between him and Uncle Jiu. Murong Li couldn’t bear it anymore.

Wang Jiuzhou looked at Murong Li for a long time without speaking. After all, His Majesty is still a child and can’t be expected to endure too harshly. The fact that His Majesty has endured until now is already remarkable.

Murong Li raised his hand to catch the snow pellets carried by the wind, feeling the gust growing stronger. However, he couldn’t soften his heart. He had already acceded to the request of the royal family by allowing his mother to stay for the New Year, which was the last and greatest grace he could afford her. He could not relent further.

He clenched the snow pellets in his palm, their coolness clearing his mind.

Just as Uncle Jiu said, this was his empire, and he must make his own decisions and hold firm.

An elderly group of royal relatives exited the main hall, shaking their heads one after another.

"Who knows how the Regent Prince manipulates the Young Emperor, to trust him so implicitly..."

One elder was startled by the flickering lamplight upon hearing this and quickly stopped his younger clan brother. He glanced around, seeing no imperial loyalists, and then spoke in a lowered voice: "We’re in the Imperial Palace, mind your tongue!"

"But... it’s true, the Regent Prince has so captivated His Majesty that he won’t heed any of our loyalty." The eldest clan elder struck the reflective golden brick floor with his cane in disappointment, showing a bitter expression, "How frustrating!"

"The Empress Dowager is still waiting outside the palace. Let’s go and report back to her! Perhaps... she might still have a plan!" someone suggested.

"If the Empress Dowager had a plan, she wouldn’t have been exiled from the palace!"

"Alas... let’s go!"

Outside the palace gates, the Empress Dowager of Yan, accompanied by Murong’s royal family elders, peered out from the carriage, frequently glancing toward the brightly lit Imperial Palace. She hoped the advice of royal relatives might soften Ah Li’s heart, allowing her to return to the palace.

In these recent days, she had regretted countless times and had wanted several times to meet Ah Li, to beg for his forgiveness, confessing her wrongs. She only hoped that Ah Li would allow her to stay in Dadu, staying by his side to watch him marry and have children...

He was, after all, her biological son. Now her eldest son was in Dadu City, and if she went to the estate, she would be out of reach there, leaving only Ah Li as her child. How could she bear to leave?

She understood that if she stepped into that estate today, apart from the holidays, she might not see Ah Li again, and how could she bear it?

Soon, the Empress Dowager of Yan saw the clan elders draped in large cloaks exiting the palace, hastily urging the personal maid to support her off the carriage.

"They’re back; the uncles are all back!" shouted the royal clan members stationed to guard the Empress Dowager’s carriage, not allowing the imperial guards to send her away.

The maid quickly bundled the Empress Dowager of Yan’s cloak and opened an umbrella: "Be careful, Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager of Yan tightly clutched the hand warmer, eagerly watching the rapidly approaching Murong royal relatives, hoping they brought good news. Her palms were sweaty, her voice filled with sobs: "Ah Li... Ah Li will surely listen to the elders of the clan, right?"
