Chapter 213
When Li Zhiwei found Xu Heming, Xu Heming was still a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Xu Heming asked nervously.
"Has something happened to the old princess?" Li Zhiwei asked worriedly.
"No, don't listen to other people's nonsense." Xu Heming frowned, thinking that someone was gossiping to Li Zhiwei.
"How long are you going to keep lying to me?" Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming angrily and took out the letter in her hand.
The document clearly stated in black and white that the old princess was seriously ill, but the tone was ambiguous. However, Li Zhiwei couldn't care less about anything else at the moment.
All he could see was the old princess's illness.
If the old princess is truly seriously ill, and she is still detained in Li'an County, then when she returns to the capital, she will be the subject of gossip and criticism.
Not to mention, her father is in the capital, so he will also be affected.
Moreover, she was Prince An's biological mother.
No matter where she started, Li Zhiwei didn't want to have any regrets.
"How did this letter end up with you? I've been looking for it for ages." As Xu Heming spoke, he glared at Qingsong beside him, assuming that Qingsong had taken it upon himself to give the letter to Li Zhiwei.
Qingsong received an unfriendly look from his master, the prince, and was somewhat puzzled. He didn't have time to say much to the princess.
“It was Qing Shi who gave me the letter. He probably hadn’t seen the old princess for a long time and missed her terribly. He insisted that the letter contained words from the old princess to him.” Li Zhiwei sighed as she said this.
At the time, Xu Heming only asked her to bring Xu Qingshi to Li'an County, but he overlooked the fact that she and Xu Qingshi were not very close, and he also overlooked the fact that children would feel uncomfortable if they were separated from their relatives for too long.
Even worse, her misunderstanding of Xu Heming might have upset the child.
"It's alright, we'll wait until you've made all the arrangements here before heading to Beijing," Xu Heming sighed and said gently.
“How can that be? The old princess is in a tense situation right now, we should set off immediately.” Li Zhiwei frowned, her face full of disapproval.
If it were anything else, we could wait, but the old princess needs people by her side the most right now, so how can we wait?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming strangely, with a look of great disappointment towards him.
“This letter wasn’t sent by someone from the Prince’s residence. I suspect those people might have some trick up their sleeves. I’ve already sent a message to the capital.” Xu Heming quickly explained when he saw Li Zhiwei’s anger.
"Is the contents of the letter fake?" Li Zhiwei frowned, then quickly opened the letter and looked at it again.
Only then did I notice that the letter was actually written by Zheng Qiaoshu.
In her letter, Zheng Qiaoshu wrote that the old princess had fallen ill because she missed Xu Heming and Xu Qingshi so much. She hoped they would return soon.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhiwei frowned and asked, "When did you acquire a cousin in your household?"
When Li Zhiwei left the capital, she didn't see any cousins from the Prince An's residence.
Could this cousin be some kind of love interest of Xu Heming?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming with suspicion.
