Wanruo's eyes paused slightly, she lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, said nothing more, stood up and walked out.
The next morning, Manager Zhang arrived as promised and brought people to take Li Jingzhao back.
"I'm really sorry to have disturbed Miss Bai these days." Li Jingzhao said goodbye to her.
He was so polite that Wanruo felt guilty: "If you feel unwell, you can also ask someone to come to me and I will go and see you."
Li Jingzhao smiled and said, "Okay."
Shopkeeper Zhang then pushed Li Jingzhao's wheelchair out of the store, and someone else lifted the wheelchair onto the carriage, which slowly drove away.
Shitou was still a little confused: "Mr. Li hasn't recovered yet, and we're letting him go now? Didn't the girl say we need to observe him for a few more days?"
Wanruo stared blankly at the carriage leaving the store, not knowing what to say.
Saying Xie Xianyu was unhappy? That's ridiculous.
It was only on this day that she realized the reality: as long as Xie Xianyu didn't let go, she would never be able to have anything to do with him in her life.
She lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness in them.

"Your Highness, do we still need to conceal our identities? Logically, our Beiliang envoys should have arrived in Yanjing City by now."
Li Jingzhao shook his head: "Don't worry, I still have important things to do."
"Your Highness, are you referring to that Miss Bai?" Shopkeeper Zhang said with some embarrassment. "Yesterday, as soon as Master Xie arrived, she asked Your Highness to move out. It's clear she's afraid of Master Xie. I'm afraid nothing will be accomplished from her."
"That may not be the case." Li Jingzhao chuckled. "Xie Xianyu has a special affection for her. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?"
"Your Highness means..."
"Prince Jin has already promised that if I can help him ascend the throne, he will return the land of the three Beiliang cities and marry me to a princess of Beiliang, and we will be together for a year. Now the biggest obstacle for Prince Jin is not Prince Xuan, but Xie Xianyu. If I stay in the dark and he stays in the light, it will be very easy for me to accomplish my goal with the help of Bai Wei."
"Your Highness is wise! This is a blessing in disguise. Meeting this woman is truly a blessing from heaven!"
Li Jingzhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he recalled that beautiful figure, he smiled and said, "God is indeed helping me."

Suddenly, she heard a series of jingling bells. Wanruo looked up and saw a carriage parked in front of the store. It was decorated with flowers, looking gorgeous and ostentatious, and there were bells hanging on the four corners of the carriage.
The carriage stopped and a woman dressed in a charming manner got out. She was wearing a light veil and looked charming and attractive.
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, and Suyue whispered in her ear, "Miss, this is the most popular courtesan in Wanhua Tower, Miss Liu Qingru."
Wan Ruo seemed to have heard of her reputation: "I have heard that she is a master of the pipa, and it is worth a fortune to hear her play."
"Isn't it? But she can be so famous thanks to her patron, Lord Su Yansu. Most of her pipa music was written for her by Lord Su."
Su Yue said excitedly: "That Lord Su is the one that the young lady met in the palace, with the eldest young master."
Wanruo turned around in surprise: "Him?"
Seeing that Miss Liu had already come in, Wanruo walked out quickly to greet her: "Miss Liu."
Liu Qingru waved her round fan and asked, "Are you the famous female doctor?"
"Exactly. Please come in, young lady."
Wanruo invited her in. Qingru covered her face with a fan and smiled, "I've heard of your reputation. They say you're a great doctor, and the pearl powder you make for beautiful skin is also very effective, so I came to take a look."
