Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort

Old Madam Su suddenly opened her eyes wide, seeming a little bit unbelievable. A few days ago, Su Qingli was still happily embroidering her dowry. When she talked about the Prince of Zhao, her eyes were full of smiles.

But now, she actually took the initiative to propose to cancel the engagement!

"Grandma wants to know why." Old Madam Su asked after hesitating for a moment.

Su Qingli was not favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although she was protected by her, Mrs. Lu often bullied her in private.

She was looking forward to marrying into the Prince of Zhao's Mansion. Seeing that she would be able to marry into the Prince of Zhao's Mansion when she reached the age of 15, why would she ask for a breakup?

There must be someone behind this.

"Grandmother, although the Prince of Zhao is a good man, he is not someone I can marry." Su Qingli's voice sounded a little vague. "To outsiders, this marriage is an infinite honor, but to me, it is like trying to pull chestnuts from the fire and drinking poison to quench thirst."

Madam Su didn't rush to answer, but said gently, "Li girl, you have to think it over carefully. If you cancel the engagement, your reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to find a good family in the future."

"Please grant me your blessing, grandmother." Su Qingli said in a resolute tone. Concubine Zhao's attitude was the same as the attitude of Prince Zhao's Mansion. On her way to Qingshan Temple, she had hidden countless assassins. If she didn't have some skills, she would not have been able to enter Qingshan Temple at all.

What's more, this marriage will do her no good but harm. If she holds on to this marriage contract, the people from Prince Zhao's Mansion and Lu's mother and daughter will try every means to take her life!

Nothing is more important than being alive!

She can only break off the engagement to save her life.

"No regrets?"

"My granddaughter will never regret it."

Old Madam Su did not answer for a long time. When Su Qingli thought that Old Madam Su would not agree, Old Madam Su spoke.

"Before I agree to your request, tell me, did you take the official road to Qingshan Temple?"

"I originally wanted to take the official road, but it was not safe and I almost got into trouble, so I took the unknown path in the back mountain."

Madam Su understood immediately: "I will handle this matter properly. You should rest well. For the next few days, accompany me to pray for blessings in Qingshan Temple. After your injury is healed, you can return to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Grandma, the sooner we cancel the engagement, the better." Su Qingli reminded her. After all, she had done something when she left the city.

Madam Su stared at Su Qingli for a moment, then stood up and walked out: "Grandma Gao, come with me to see if the Concubine Dowager is asleep."

Concubine Zhao was meditating in the Zen room, beating the wooden fish with one hand and twirling the Buddhist beads with the other.

"Mrs. Dowager Consort, Madam Su is here."

Concubine Zhao's expression changed slightly, but she did not stop what she was doing. Instead, she finished reciting a sutra on rebirth, and then invited Madam Su into the house.

"You were tired during the day and accompanied me to pray for blessings. Why haven't you rested yet so late?" Concubine Zhao spoke softly, and her kind face was full of gentleness.

Madam Su sat down beside her and took the tea handed to her by the maid: "I shouldn't have disturbed the Concubine Dowager so late, but I have something on my mind and I really can't sleep, so I came to look for the Concubine Dowager."

Concubine Zhao took a sip of hot tea and asked with a smile, "You are already old, what else could be worrying about that keeps you awake at night?"

Madam Su put down her teacup and sighed, "It's all because of my disappointing eldest daughter."

The smile on Concubine Zhao's face faded a little. She had met Su Qingli several times. She was gentle and docile and obedient. It was a pity that she had no family to support her and was not liked by Prime Minister Su.

"That child is a well-behaved and sensible one."

"Your Highness, please don't praise her. I'm almost broken-hearted about her." Old Madam Su felt a headache. "Her personality is very similar to her mother's. She's very stubborn. Seeing that she's about to reach marriage, I'm getting more and more worried."

Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "The child has grown up, what are you worried about?"

"This child has a stubborn temper. If she married into an ordinary family, with the background of the Prime Minister's Mansion, we wouldn't have to worry about her being bullied. But she has to marry the Prince of Zhao. How can I not be worried?"

Concubine Zhao said calmly, "I know Yu Heng's character very well. If Li were to marry into Prince Zhao's mansion, Yu Heng would definitely not bully her."

After hearing this, Old Lady Su sneered in her heart. She knew very well what kind of person Mo Yuheng was. It was because she knew this that she was worried.

"Of course I know that Prince Zhao is a very good person." Old Madam Su sighed, "Your Highness, may I ask a favor of you?"

"Please speak, old lady." Concubine Zhao looked down on her and probably wanted to ask for mercy for Su Qingli. However, no matter what she begged, Su Qingli would never be able to marry into Prince Zhao's mansion alive.

"Please ask the Queen Mother to cancel the marriage between Prince Zhao and my Qingli."
