Hearing this, Concubine Li's pretty eyebrows knitted together. According to her expectations, Yu Qiaoqiao was not pregnant. Given their relationship, she would definitely give the purse to Shui Luolan. Why didn't she give it to her? Could she have been wrong?

If that was the case, then why did Princess Yu act so ruthlessly today? Could it be that she hadn't gotten the fennel on the handkerchief? That didn't make sense. She had searched Liyuan since returning yesterday, and the fennel on the handkerchief wasn't picked up there. The only possibility was that Princess Yu had put it there herself.

But why did Shui Luolan frame her first and then come to help her out?

Concubine Li felt confused, with a dark look in her eyes. It seemed that she would have to put in some effort to deal with Princess Yu in the future.

Thinking of this, she said to Qiaoqiao:

"I just remembered this morning that there was a medicine missing from that purse. Bring it back later and I'll have someone add it."

Hearing her say this, Yu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded secretly.

"Well, when I go back to the palace someday, I'll take the purse back. It doesn't matter if one medicine is missing. The purse is so delicate and beautiful, I can't bear to take it apart."

She tried her best to persuade Empress Li not to let her take the purse back.

But Concubine Li had already made up her mind that since the purse did not fall into Shui Luolan's hands, it must not remain with Yu Qiaoqiao. She could not harm her grandson.

So, after returning to Prince Xi's Mansion, Yu Qiaoqiao started to walk around in circles, feeling troubled.

Xiaoju guessed her thoughts and stepped forward and whispered:

"Princess, why don't we go to Prince Yu's Mansion and get that purse back?"
