Chapter 218 That girl is quite clever
Ever since the news of Prince Qiu’s critical illness spread to the capital city, the ladies from prominent families who were secretly hoping to be chosen to marry into Prince Qiu Residence were thrown into panic.
Originally, marrying into Prince Qiu Residence was considered a great fortune for them, but now, it was uncertain whether the prince was dead or alive, and they were unwilling to gamble their futures on it.
The people who used to curry favor with the Princess by frequent visits began to dwindle, opportunistically shifting their attentions to Jingyang Palace instead.
As for this, the Princess paid no mind, her true concern was Li Mingjue’s illness.
Though a message from Gusu had come, claiming that rest and recuperation would suffice, she couldn’t help but worry incessantly.
She even grew colder towards Li Tianze, spending her days in fasting and prayer, transcribing scriptures.
Li Tianze, having been given the cold shoulder for several days, felt some dissatisfaction and gradually distanced himself from the Princess, sending only the Imperial Physician to inquire after her health and continuing his stay at Xuanruo Pavilion as before.
That day, Qi Yu was idly flipping through a storybook in her room when Shiqi knocked on the door and entered, delivering a secret letter to her.
Before closing the door, she glanced at the Prince, who appeared frail and "as if on his deathbed," a slight twitch visible at the corner of her mouth.
As long as the two of you are happy.
