Chapter 326: Can’t be Broken
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Gong Prince’s consort was stunned.
Li Mi also forgot to cry.
“Brother…” Li Mi said softly.
Li Zhao kneeled in front of the Gong Prince’s consort, “Mother, I understand that when I was very young, he had a family with someone else, while you, Mi’er, and 1 are a family. You didn’t care about the things he did, but you tried your best to protect us. I’ve always thought that he was my father. A son shouldn’t talk about his father’s mistakes. But 1 never thought that he wouldn’t be able to tell right from wrong while he was still young.”
“Mother, you shouldn’t be stuck in this mud with us. You should live a happy life.”
If it was in the past, Li Zhao wouldn’t be able to say these words even if he was beaten to death.
He was silent by nature.
He pretended to be arrogant so that no one dared to underestimate him.
But today, he suddenly had an epiphany. So what if he had power? He was so angry that he wanted to pounce over and fight that old fool. He didn’t want to endure the treatment his family endured anymore. It didn’t matter if it would cost him his wealth or his own life.
This kind of favoritism didn’t happen just once or twice. It had been like this since he could remember.
Then, he had seen how the Heng family interacted with one another.
The adults and children were playing together.
Heng Yi was a stern parent, but when the kids were playing, he would smile fondly at them.
He would also lead the horses for the children and treat them fairly.
Even if he was biased, at least he didn’t tilt the bowl to the point where not a drop of water could be seen from one side.
The way he acted was what a father should be like.
“Do you even know what you’re talking about?” The Gong Prince’s consort asked coldly.
Li Zhao hugged his Mother’s leg, “Mother, I feel terrible.”
“1 felt disappointed over and over again. 1 don’t want to stay in this suffocating palace at all. Mother, those few days in the countryside, you laughed so happily. Your eyes were bright, and you were filled with joy in everything you saw. However, once you returned to the Imperial Residence, you restrained all your joy and became a living but soulless wooden princess.”
The Gong Prince’s consort’s soul was shaken by these words.
She had never thought that her son would have such a depressing view.
She had always thought that she had protected her children well.
The Gong Prince’s consort looked at Li Mi.
Li Mi took a deep breath, “Mother, 1 agree.”
She was naive and kind, but never stupid.

The Gong Prince’s consort fell silent.
She then helped Li Zhao up, “Let me think.”
Even asking to resign from the position of Crown Prince was not an easy matter.
Not to mention her leaving…
Separating from the Gong Prince was simply a fool’s dream.
In this life, she would never be able to escape other than death.
“Mother, Imperial Uncle is in Chenzhou. If I go and beg him…”
The Gong Prince’s consort gently tidied Li Zhao’s clothes, “Zhao’er, we are all lucky. Although your father is biased, he never thought of taking our lives. You may think that you will be free after you resign from the position of the crown prince. But no, Zhao’er, don’t be impulsive. Listen to your mother slowly.”
“We can’t choose our voices, but we can choose our own fate. Zhao’er, I was reluctant to let you go to military camp to train, but now I think I’m too narrow-minded. After your Imperial Uncle leaves, you can go to military camp to gain experience and conceal your identity, starting from a small soldier.” “Zhao’er, the future may be difficult, but don’t worry. No matter what, Mother will always be behind you.”
“Go and make a name for yourself.”
Consort Fei hugged Li Zhao.
She reached out and hugged Li Mi in her arms.
At this moment, she made a decision.
Since there was no way to leave, she might as well burn the bridges…
