“A quiet place? Will Father be there?”
“No, he won’t.”
“Will there be playmates?”
“No, there won’t be.”
“Will there be a teacher to teach me to play the zither?”
“There won’t be that either.”
Yuaner fell silent.
Princess Qi looked at her daughter with tender eyes: “But you’ll have your mother. Mother will always be with you.”
And you’ll always be with your mother, instead of following that naturally cold-hearted father. Who knows when disaster might strike? Let alone enjoying the glory of a princess, you might even lose your life.
Perhaps having escaped death had given her clarity. In Princess Qi’s view, Prince Qi’s fixation on that position was nothing but a daydream.
How could the Emperor, in his generosity, favor someone so heartless and cold-blooded towards his principal wife?
She would stay with her daughter and watch that man destroy himself.
The vengeance for being used and mistreated—she couldn’t take it herself, but someone would surely help her exact it.
Having calmed down, Princess Qi also began to question how she had managed to escape the maid’s and servants’ attempts to stop her and flee to the streets.
Given her lack of physical strength, it must have been either divine intervention or someone’s secret assistance.
Whichever it was, it indicated that the cold-hearted man had lost ground.
This truly delighted her.
The setting sun cast long shadows from the carriage, and the modest blue-curtained vehicle gradually disappeared into the sunset glow.
In the Qi Prince Manor, which had grown a bit quieter, Prince Qi questioned the servants and fell into deep thought.
For Li to have run out onto the street, things were not as simple as they seemed.
There was a traitor in the Qi Prince Manor!
After a thorough investigation, a discovery was made: a gardener who had recently been hired was missing from the manor.
Prince Qi angrily threw the register to the ground and shouted at the steward: “How are you managing things?”
In the past, when Li was managing the household, recruits to the manor had to undergo at least three years of training before being assigned important tasks—
Prince Qi sighed inwardly.
He couldn’t think about that woman anymore. The more he thought about her, the more irritated he became.
A spy had infiltrated the Qi Prince Manor. Which bastard had planted them?
