Empress Dowager Qi had good intentions, and Murong Jiu certainly did not misunderstand the other party.
However, everyone's thoughts differ, and so do their worldviews. From beginning to end, Murong Jiu could never tolerate sharing a husband with another woman.
Therefore, if Emperor Yu Yan really had another woman, even if she still loved him, she would turn around and leave, rather than wasting her youth in the palace.
Although their two children were very important, as a woman, she was equally important.
She would not compromise for the sake of her children; doing so would mean she was no longer the Murong Jiu she knew herself to be.
She also did not wish to change beyond recognition in the struggle for favor.
She and Empress Dowager Qi were completely different types of people.
Nevertheless, it didn't matter; she could not change Empress Dowager Qi's mind, just as Empress Dowager Qi could not change hers.
All that was left was to deceive for a moment.
