"So Li Congfeng has always remembered."
"The somewhat indifferent treatment by Empress Li was enough to make life difficult for a weak consort without any foundation. Before Li Youlong turned six, she and her mother faced cold treatment and suffered abuse everywhere in the palace. Princess Consort Mei was indeed a mortal woman without any cultivation level; after giving birth to Li Youlong, she was treated improperly by the Imperial Physician and caught a chill during winter, and her health was never good after that."
"Even after giving birth to a qilin blood heir, her situation never improved?"
"The Palace Attendants didn't necessarily have a choice." Li Xizhou said, "Besides, the qilin blood that the child inherited relates to the mother's bloodline as well. Among the thousands chosen, not every concubine is guaranteed to give birth to one with true blood. This fragile woman who was granted her title indiscriminately was naturally not expected to do so."
"Hmm."
