Although Liang Qiuli fainted, she was still able to clearly perceive the Crown Prince's every move through the system.

She wanted to use the so-called "white moonlight" in the Crown Prince's heart to make him sympathize with her, which would make her plans easier to carry out later.

The Crown Prince gently placed Liang Qiuli on the bed.

Looking down at that fragile, pale face, I inexplicably raised my hand to gently stroke her face.

But at that moment, he met Liang Qiuli's clear, water-like eyes as she slowly opened them.

The prince tried to withdraw his hand, but it still touched Liang Qiuli's cheek. The silky feeling made him feel as if he had been electrocuted, and his heart raced instantly.

Liang Qiuli subconsciously shrank back a little on the inside of the bed, clearly a little afraid of the Crown Prince, but she still mustered up her courage and called out.

"His Royal Highness..."

The Crown Prince frowned as he watched Liang Qiuli's actions. Was he really that scary?

His voice carried a hint of displeasure.

"What are you afraid of?"

She gave Xiao Li the calming incense because she wanted him to come over, didn't she?

Why does she seem unafraid to see him now?

Liang Qiuli knew what the Crown Prince was thinking, but she pretended not to know and answered in a daze.

“I’m not afraid, it’s just… it’s just that if the Crown Prince wants that…”

Before Liang Qiuli could finish speaking, a faint blush rose on her pale face.

"Could you be a little gentler?"

The last one was so soft that the prince could hardly hear it if he hadn't been so close.

The Crown Prince thought that Liang Qiuli might have misunderstood his actions because of his previous drunken incident.

However, this also reminded him of how crazy he had been on that drunken night six months ago, repeatedly demanding things from others.

He was drunk, so he didn't consider her feelings, causing her immense pain during her first time.

It seems I need to make it up to her and let her know that he wasn't as rude as he seemed.

"Okay, I'll be more careful in the future."

The Crown Prince took Liang Qiuli's hand, pulled her into his arms, and whispered words of comfort.

Liang Qiuli's face turned even redder, a stark contrast to her pale complexion when she had just fainted. She buried her head in the Crown Prince's arms, not daring to look at him.

The Crown Prince, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, was drawn in by the faint calming scent emanating from Liang Qiuli.

Until Little Li entered with the imperial physician.

"Your Highness, the imperial physician has arrived."

"Hmm, come over and take Liang Gengyi's pulse."

The crown prince acted as if nothing had happened, released the person, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes, and said in a cold tone.

When the imperial physician heard the prince say this, he didn't dare to delay and took Liang Qiuli's pulse.

Because the original owner was beautiful and a palace maid, she was often targeted, which made her health not very good.

However, after Liang Qiuli took over, she used the system to recuperate for a while, and now her health is much better than the original owner's.

However, the pulse taken by the imperial physician was slightly altered by the system, resulting in the pulse being the same as the original owner's.

The imperial physician frowned, pondered for a long time, and then spoke to the crown prince.

"Your Highness, Liang Gengyi's pulse is weak, indicating a deficiency of both qi and blood. She needs to be properly cared for."

Winter is fast approaching, and if we don't take care, our health may become even weaker.

The Crown Prince looked at Liang Qiuli with heartache and pity in his eyes. He gently took her slightly cold little hand in his.

"With me here, no one will dare to withhold your allowance and charcoal in the future."

The Crown Prince was deeply in love with Liang Qiuli, but he was even more furious with Consort Hu.

"Go down first and prescribe some nourishing medicine suitable for Liang Gengyi."

The crown prince waved his hand, signaling the imperial physician to leave.

The imperial physician, not wanting to linger, quickly acknowledged the order and withdrew.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I believe Sister Hu didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the people below weren't doing their jobs properly."

Liang Qiuli seemed to have seen through the Crown Prince's thoughts. After the imperial physician left, she gently tugged at the Crown Prince's sleeve, shook her head at him, and gently exonerated Consort Hu.

But in reality, it pushed people further away from the crown prince.

"You are still sensible."

Although the Crown Prince was angry with Consort Hu, if Liang Qiuli really complained, he would only think that Liang Qiuli was being too petty. After all, he still needed the Hu family, and Consort Hu could not be punished at this time.

But now that Liang Qiuli is so well-behaved and sensible, he feels that she has been wronged and feels even more sorry for her.

"As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is well, Qiu Li will be content."

Liang Qiuli lowered her eyes, concealing the glint of shrewdness that flashed in them unnoticed by everyone else.

Seeing her so devoted to him, the Crown Prince felt even more tender. Suddenly remembering the purpose of his visit, he asked...

"Qiu Li, did you give that calming incense to Xiao Li?"

Liang Qiuli's expression changed, and she became somewhat frightened. She hurriedly tried to get up and kneel down.

"Your Highness knows? I only heard about it by chance from Sister Hu. Your Highness has been sleeping poorly at night, and since Eunuch Li is from my hometown, that's why... that's why I resorted to this desperate measure."

I only wished for Your Highness to rest well; I had no other intentions. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!

Seeing her reaction, the Crown Prince quickly supported her and pressed her back onto the bed, worried that she might faint again.

At first, the Crown Prince might have suspected that Liang Qiuli was trying to win his favor, but seeing that she had turned pale again, he realized that she was really frightened, and his heart softened a little.

"I'm not here to blame you."

The Crown Prince had long forgotten that when he came, he actually intended to interrogate him.

After all, bribing the eunuchs around the Crown Prince to use incense on him, even if it was for his health, was still a capital offense if investigated.

But seeing Liang Qiuli's beautiful appearance and kind heart, it was impossible to blame her.

"I just wanted to ask where you got this calming incense, and if you have any more?"

The crown prince felt that if he could burn that calming incense to fall asleep every day, he would sleep better and be more adept at handling state affairs during the day, and he would have no worries about stabilizing the country.

Liang Qiuli looked somewhat troubled, but she quickly composed herself.

"This calming incense is made using a recipe passed down through my family. However, I have... a lot more. If Your Highness needs it, I will have Zishuang get it for you."

Upon hearing that Liang Qiuli still had a lot of calming incense, the Crown Prince ignored her somewhat strange expression and said with delight.

"Okay, let Little Li go with Zishuang to get it."

The Crown Prince's affection for Liang Qiuli grew even stronger at the thought of being able to sleep peacefully every day.

He wanted to have lunch with Liang Qiuli, but Eunuch Feng rushed in.
