Li Fugui and his wife saw Eunuch Li off. Everyone in the mansion, except the sisters Qiaoyue and Mingyue, had a sad look on their faces.
"Master, Madam, isn't it something worth celebrating that the young lady can become the Crown Princess? Why do you all look so unhappy?"
Mingyue is a straightforward person and says whatever she thinks.
Qiao Yue pulled her sleeve and said, "Ming Yue, stop talking nonsense."
Mingyue pouted, "Sister, Mingyue is just speaking from her heart."
"Ordinary people might be happy to receive this honor, but our master and mistress just want the young lady to be in their arms and live a peaceful and happy life under their watchful eyes."
Ruyan knew that Qiao Yue and Ming Yue had only been in the mansion for a short time, and they did not know many things about it.
I didn't know that the young lady's life was predicted by the doctor more than three months ago.
Mrs. Li's face was as pale as paper, and her body was staggering, as if she would fall down at any second.
"Ma'am, cheer up."
Li Fugui stepped forward and supported Mrs. Li.
Li Xia gradually came back to her senses from her shock. She walked to Madam Li and asked, "Mother, how are you?"
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "Mom is fine."
She wanted to force a smile, but she really couldn't laugh at this moment.
After trying twice and failing to produce a natural smile, she had to give up.
"You all may leave." Mrs. Li waved her hand.
Looking at the people in the room, she felt even more upset.
Li Fugui said, "Madam told you all to go down, so go down."
Everyone left the main room in an orderly manner.
"Miss……"
"Ruyan, I'll talk to my parents, you go and take a rest."
Everyone retreated, leaving only Ruyan.
She wanted to stay and keep the young lady company.
Li Xia knew that Ruyan was worried about her, so she looked at her soothingly, and Ruyan then reluctantly walked out of the hall.
"Xia'er, what do you think? Do you want to become the Crown Princess?" Mrs. Li held Li Xia's hand.
"Mother, my daughter...I don't know."
She had no time to think about this matter.
Not marrying would be disobeying the emperor's order, and marrying would be deceiving the emperor.
No matter which charge it is, it is not something they can afford.
She is no longer a virgin.
Unless the prince is a fool, if she marries him, she will be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Li Xia looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and felt that it was a hot potato.
"Madam, this is the emperor's will. Whether Axia wants it or not is not something we can control." Li Fugui sighed.
"Yes, we are just ordinary people. How can we fight against the imperial power? I am confused."
Mrs. Li's eyes turned red.
She also had the wild idea that as long as Xia'er didn't want to, things would turn around.
But it was the current emperor who issued the decree.
What can they change?
Li Xia felt bad when she saw Li Fugui and Madam Li looked hopeless.
She began to comfort them, "Dad, Mom, there is always a way out. You two don't have to worry too much. The doctor had previously determined that our daughter wouldn't live past her 15th birthday, but now she's alive and well. As long as she's alive, there's hope."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li cheered up a little.
"Yes, Xia'er is right. As long as we are alive, there is hope." She nodded in agreement.
After Li Xia calmed Mrs. Li down, she stepped out of the hall.
On the way back, she saw a familiar man looking at the door of her boudoir.
"Zhang Wu, why are you back? Is there any progress?"
Li Xia saw the servant's face clearly and she walked forward quickly.
Zhang Wu bowed and saluted, "Miss Li, the person you asked me to find has appeared."
Li Xia never gave up looking for Chu Ziyu.
But because of Mrs. Li, she couldn't make a big move and go to him openly.
Zhang Wu is not from the Li Mansion, he is a hunter that Li Xia met by chance.
He also didn't know the relationship between Chu Ziyu and them.
Li Xia gave Zhang Wu a painting of Chu Ziyu and paid him to be her spy.
Li Xia looked around and saw that there was no one around. She lowered her voice and asked, "Where is he?"
She said through gritted teeth.
It was worth it that she had been searched for so long.
Chu Ziyu finally showed up.
This time, she must kill the source of his evil with her own hands to relieve herself of the hatred in her heart.
"Some pilgrims have seen the man with the portrait at the foot of the Lianhua Temple." Zhang Wu replied.
"Lotus Temple..."
Li Xia lowered her eyes.
A cold and handsome face flashed through her mind.
It was only two months, but Li Xia felt that it was a very distant thing for her.
I didn’t say goodbye properly last time.
So she would take this opportunity to say goodbye to him properly after she had taken revenge.
Night falls.
Li Xia left a letter, packed two sets of clothes, picked up her bag, and walked out of her boudoir under the moonlight.
She left through the back door.
As soon as it got dark, Zhang Wu found a carriage and waited for Li Xia at the back door of Li's mansion.
"Ms. Li."
"Zhang Wu, thank you for your hard work." Li Xia nodded at Zhang Wu.
She didn't want to alarm the people in the mansion, as she didn't know how to ride or drive a horse.
Besides, as a woman, it was not safe for her to travel alone.
Li Xia had no choice but to trouble Zhang Wu.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Li Xia was very confident in his ability to judge people.
The saying goes, trust people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust.
She believed in Zhang Wu.
"drive--"
The carriage was moving.
