Tang Lei originally wanted to tell Liu Zhiyuan that there was no need to worry about Li Youran, as she was naturally safe and sound in the palace. However, after thinking about it again, he agreed. Tang Lei then jumped down from the stone table and turned to look at Liu Zhiyuan.
"Is there anything you want me to tell You Ran?"
Liu Zhiyuan hadn't expected Tang Lei to be so magnanimous, but before Liu Zhiyuan could say anything, Tang Lei had already walked away.
"I won't give you a ride."
Liu Zhiyuan watched Tang Lei soar into the sky, cursing inwardly. He thought to himself that if he had known this all along, he would not have gone to the academy, but instead found a master to learn a profound skill.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so humiliated, forced to watch helplessly as her rival went to meet the person she admired. Having no other skills, she could only stay at home and wait.
“Princess Qingshui, even if you are worried about the Emperor’s safety, you should still eat something. Otherwise, your health will collapse before the Emperor wakes up.”
"Get out, all of you get out! This princess has no appetite."
As Li Youran reached the door, she saw a group of maids hurriedly retreating, their plates of food untouched.
"I've already said I have no appetite, so get out of here!"
Princess Qingshui didn't know that it was Li Youran who came in; she thought it was the servants returning.
"I wonder if Princess Qingshui has lost her appetite because she is worried about the Emperor, or if she has done something shameful that is causing her to lose her appetite?"
Upon hearing Li Youran's words, Princess Qingshui suddenly shivered, but then, remembering that no one else knew what she had done, she turned around and, as usual, put on an arrogant demeanor, and spoke to Li Youran.
“This princess is not like you. The emperor is my maternal uncle. I am naturally worried about my uncle’s safety, which is why I find it hard to swallow.”
After Princess Qingshui finished speaking, she looked Li Youran up and down, thinking that she and Li Youran did not usually have such a good relationship. Li Youran must have come for something today.
She was puzzled as to why Li Youran had come and why she had said such things...
Princess Qingshui, who had been so confident, suddenly lost her confidence and began to wonder if Li Youran knew about that matter.
You should know that she secretly gave the medicine to the Emperor while the Empress turned around to go back to her resting space. There were no palace maids or eunuchs around, and she left immediately after doing this, without anyone else noticing.
"Unlike you, who still has the leisure to wander around. If you want someone to play with, you'd better go back quickly. This princess is very irritable and busy praying for the Emperor, my uncle. I don't have time to deal with you."
Although Princess Qingshui had ordered him to leave, Li Youran ignored her and sat down in a chair.
She looked at Princess Qingshui, who was as arrogant as ever, and felt that she seemed a little different from usual. Today, Princess Qingshui did not mock or tease her, and was even eager for her to leave.
You see, normally, Princess Qingshui would always mock her whenever they met. She always wanted to get rid of her quickly, but Princess Qingshui would always pester her relentlessly.
Seeing Princess Qingshui's unusual behavior, Li Youran had a general idea of what was going on. It seemed that Tang Lei's plan had succeeded; Princess Qingshui had obtained the medicine and given it to the Emperor.
In other words, the main reason why the emperor fell into a coma was due to the medicine given by Princess Qingshui.
However, Li Youran did not intend to let Princess Qingshui come out and agree to this matter. After all, what needed to be done now was to let everyone follow the clues and find out the incompetent master who initially gave the emperor the medicine. This was Qiufeng Daoist's plan.
Li Youran came to find Princess Qingshui today, firstly to test her and see if she was involved in this matter.
Secondly, they wanted to stop Princess Qingshui, lest she, with her poor mental fortitude, jump out and confess before the matter was even investigated.
In that case, the investigation cannot continue as planned.
"I'm used to being out and about all the time, and being suddenly confined to the palace must be quite boring. I wonder if Princess Qingshui has any games to pass the time?"
As Li Youran spoke, he pretended to be forgiving and continued speaking to Princess Qingshui.
"Actually, apart from being a bit foul-mouthed, you don't have any major problems. You're just really bored, so I can put up with you for a bit of fun."
"You, Li Youran, I have been merciful and allowed you to stay here for so long, yet you are ungrateful and say such things."
Princess Qingshui shouted at Li Youran as if a cat's tail had been stepped on.
As she shouted, she pointed to the ground and then pointed tightly to the door.
"Get out, get out now! I don't want to see you even once."
Just then, the guards patrolling outside noticed the commotion in the room, and Captain Luo Feng went to investigate.
"I wonder what has happened in Princess Qingshui's room?"
Li Youran stood up from the bench, took a few steps forward, opened the door, and saw a very handsome young man standing outside.
“Princess Qingshui is very frightened by herself and wants someone to keep her company. I still need to go back to take care of the Crown Princess, so why don’t you stay and keep Princess Qingshui company?”
As Li Youran spoke, he turned around and looked at Princess Qingshui.
Looking at the handsome young man before her, she blushed slightly and for a moment forgot to refute Li Youran's words.
“If Princess Qingshui feels unsafe, I can wait here for a while.”
