"Your Majesty, now that Bei Qi has been eradicated and there's no possibility of restoring the kingdom, isn't it time to restore Jing'er's identity as the Ninth Princess?" Consort Li asked.
Jing'er is the true princess, her biological daughter.
If it weren't for Bei Qi's cruelty, she wouldn't have been separated from her flesh and blood since birth. She didn't even dare to inquire for fear of Bei Qi finding out.
Whenever the longing overwhelmed her, even if she could find an excuse to meet Jing'er, she couldn't be too close without breaking that barrier.
In the past, when Cui Chen sent Jing'er to Bei Qi, he suggested that the Emperor and she recognize Cui Chen as their adopted daughter, which made both the Emperor and her feel uneasy. After Jing'er returned, they never proposed to recognize her as an adopted daughter.
Every time this thought arose, Cui Chen's voice echoed in their minds, making them uncomfortable.
