Qi Shaosheng sighed and said, "I'll beg the Emperor to let Mother come live with me outside the palace."
Madam Xu asked worriedly, "Will he agree?"
Qi Shaosheng was silent for a while before saying, "We have to give it a try."
Of course, Qi Xiuyuan did not agree. He said to Qi Shaosheng, "There are constant rumors outside that I don't get along well with the Imperial Noble Consort, so she naturally has to stay in the palace. Don't worry, Second Brother. I'll get the servants to serve the Imperial Noble Consort well. If you're free, you can come to the palace to visit her often."
Qi Shaosheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, that's all nonsense from outsiders. After I go out, I'll definitely try my best to refute the rumors. The Imperial Noble Consort has worked hard her entire life. Third Brother and I want to be filial to her…"
