"I have tested her, but she seems to have no recollection of what happened in the palace."
"But no matter how abnormal she is, it's impossible for her to be with Li Qingluo."
"They didn't have a good relationship before, and Pan Li and Liu Qingzhu were obviously closer."
"But didn't you see Pan Li and Li Qingluo chatting and laughing along the way yesterday?"
"It's really weird."
"I suspect Pan Li has remembered something. Or perhaps she remembers everything, but is pretending to have lost her memory because she's afraid of trouble."
"And will she use that incident to curry favor with Princess Nanping and Li Qingluo?"
Mammy didn't understand: "But why would she do this?"
"They were at odds before, but now they have to get together for some benefit?"
Pei Zixuan: "That's exactly what I suspect."
"Some time ago, I accidentally overheard the Queen and His Majesty talking."
"They said they were planning to bring Pan Li into the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's Consort."
"This Pan Li used to be a fool, but after coming back from the dead, he has indeed become much calmer and more reserved."
"But since her father is only a fifth-rank Palace Minister, being a Crown Prince's Consort is really an honor for her!"
When she said this, Pei Zixuan's voice was filled with jealousy and resentment.
"It's only natural that she and Nanping are close."
"But she shouldn't have gotten so close to Li Qingluo!"
"I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Li Qingluo and Prince Su are not innocent."
"As for Pan Li's feelings towards Prince Su, others may not know, but I know it too."
"That night by the lake, she even brought it up herself, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not even a finger up to His Royal Highness Prince Su."
"So I guess Pan Li doesn't want to be the Crown Prince's Consort, but wants to be a member of Prince Su's Mansion!"
Hearing this, Li Qingluo was still touching his chin in thought, when Pan Li excitedly grabbed Li Qingluo's arm.
Her eyes were full of grievance.
It was as if saying: I am not! I didn't! Luo'er, listen to my explanation!
Li Qingluo: ...
After Pei Zixuan left, Pan Li couldn't hold it in any longer: "Bah! Who wants to be the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"Luo'er, don't believe that nonsense. The Pan Li of the past is not the Pan Li of today."
"I absolutely don't have any improper thoughts about your Highness Prince Su!"
Pan Li wanted to raise her hand and swear.
Li Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he smiled and held her back: "I know. I know."
"This Pan Li is not that Pan Li. Others may not know this, but am I not clear about this as well?"
She scratched Pan Li's nose in a playful manner.
"Wait, why is it... my Prince Su?"
She narrowed her eyes.
Pan Li covered her mouth in surprise, "You can't be... you still haven't figured out His Royal Highness Prince Su's feelings for you, right?"
Li Qingluo was shocked: "Even you know this?"
Her heart was pounding.
The last time Twelve Niang saw Prince Su was in the Pei family dungeon.
At that time, were his intentions clear?
Even Twelve Mother could see it at a glance, but she had not known it for a long time.
She didn't dare to think about it.
How can someone like me deserve such a sincere love?
But he still rushed towards me fiercely...
Never hesitated, and never gave up on her.
Li Qingluo felt as if something in his heart was slowly expanding, like a lotus blossoming in the rain and dew.
It is no longer possible to conceal the excitement of youth.
She clenched her fists, thinking of Duan Rongshi's every smile and frown, his eyebrows, the corners of his lips, and the eyes he used every time he looked at her.
Deep and quiet, she always gets lost in it and cannot extricate herself.
She seemed to understand that he was willing to go through so much trouble to keep her by his side, as if it was really just because of his true heart.
But I... was passive like a cowardly deserter.
Pan Li: "Luo'er?"
"Luo'er, what are you thinking about?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Li Qingluo: "I'm fine. Are the Pan family really going to send you to the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Pan Li: "Bah! Wishful thinking."
"My current father did mention this matter vaguely, but I didn't want to, so he said he would only listen to me."
"Even if I really offended the East Palace, you will never force my will."
Li Qingluo: "With the support and mediation of the Princess Pan Mansion, this matter should not be difficult."
Then she stood up and said, "Let's go. There are people waiting for us."
Li Qingluo took Pan Li and quickly reunited with Que'er and Nanny Zheng.
The two of them were not very eye-catching, just wandering around in the woods as usual.
Pan Li saw a rabbit.
Li Qingluo picked up the longbow, put the arrow on it, but before he shot it, someone got there first and got there first.
They turned their heads and saw that it was not someone else but Zhong Liulang whom they had met yesterday.
Accompanying him along the way were the Fourth Prince and his wife.
The fourth prince, formerly Prince Yun, completely lost the favor of the Emperor and Empress after he behaved immorally and misbehaved in the palace on his birthday.
Although it was later discovered that the assassination had nothing to do with him, it was still due to his negligence that the emperor and empress were in danger of being assassinated, and he was stripped of his title as Prince Yun on the spot.
Just because he had lost one eye, Emperor Yan still showed him some mercy. Apart from confining him to reflect on his mistakes for a month, he did not impose any other punishment on him.
But Duan Rongxuan, who was once so glorious, fell from the clouds to the mud, making his life worse than death.
After being silent for a long time in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, this was the first time he appeared in front of everyone again.
But compared with the glamorous and high-spirited Prince Yun in the past, the current Fourth Prince is just a stone that has lost its luster.
He was wearing an eye patch, and his eyes, mixed with a hint of excitement, fell on Li Qingluo and Pan Li.
Zhong Liulang raised his chin arrogantly: "How dare you! Don't you know that this is the prey that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has set his sights on and wants to give to the Fourth Prince's Consort? You two really want to snatch it away?"
