"Sister Hu, are you jealous of me?"

Liang Qiuli couldn't let Consort Hu so easily sow discord between her and the Crown Prince, so she had to put on an act.

When Hu Cairen saw that Liang Qiuli had directly pointed out her flaws, her face stiffened. However, remembering what the Crown Princess had told her, she continued to provoke Liang Qiuli.

"Sister Liang, you don't believe me? You know that the Crown Prince has always suffered from headaches, right?"

"Of course, I even sent His Highness some calming incense, which the Crown Prince liked very much."

Liang Qiuli seemed completely unaware of Hu Cairen's intentions, and she immediately responded.

"Hasn't Sister Liang realized yet? His Highness the Crown Prince has been coming to see you every day recently because of your relief from his headaches."

After Hu Cairen finished speaking, Liang Qiuli was somewhat stunned, and she knew that Liang Qiuli was beginning to believe it.

"impossible!"

Liang Qiuli suddenly retorted loudly, contrary to her usual behavior. Hu Cairen knew that she had completed the task given to her by the Crown Princess today. As for how Liang Qiuli would quarrel with the Crown Prince later, that was beyond her control.

"Sister Liang, think about this matter carefully. I'm here mainly on behalf of the Crown Princess to check on you. Now that I see you're doing well, I'll be leaving now."

If Liang Qiuli and the Crown Prince were to quarrel, and the Crown Prince were to blame her instead, Consort Hu would not truly take the blame for everything on behalf of the Crown Princess.

So at this point, she casually mentioned the Crown Princess, hoping to curry favor with her later.

"Okay, take care, Sister Hu. I won't see you off."

Liang Qiuli looked flustered, as if she had been greatly shocked.

Hu Cairen knew that Liang Qiuli had no interest in continuing the conversation, so she decided to call it a day and quickly left.

"Zishuang, Zihan, you can go down first. I'm a little tired and want to be alone."

Liang Qiuli's voice was hoarse, and her eyes were full of loneliness.

Zi Han's eyes flickered as she looked at Liang Qiuli's appearance. The Crown Princess was indeed formidable; even before anyone else arrived, she had already forced Consort Liang into such a sorry state. It seemed she had chosen the right master.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

As soon as the person left, Liang Qiuli's expression changed immediately, as if she wasn't the one who had just panicked.

But she was indeed tired.

After all, acting is quite tiring. The main event will begin when the Crown Prince arrives, so she needs to rest now.

……

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince was kept in the palace by the Emperor today to discuss important matters, and did not return until after dinner. He was already feeling a bit unwell.

As soon as he got back, he went straight to Yunge, where Liang Qiuli was staying, hoping to hold her and relax a bit.

"Hmm, where is your master?"

The Crown Prince was puzzled when he noticed that Liang Qiuli had not come out to greet him today, and that her maids were all outside.

"Your Highness, my master is a little tired today. Perhaps you could... return now?"

Zishuang answered as her master had instructed, but her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

The prince had excellent hearing and managed to hear it.

His brows were furrowed; was he being told to leave?

It was fine when I left this morning, what happened?

"I'll go in and take a look."

The Crown Prince waved for Zishuang and the others to leave, then pushed open the door and entered.

He walked to the bedside, bent down and hugged Liang Qiuli, took a deep breath, and felt the calming fragrance emanating from her body, which relieved his headache considerably.

Liang Qiuli already knew when the Crown Prince stepped into Yunge.

She lay on the couch with her back to the door, only hearing the prince's footsteps approaching from afar, and tears streamed down her face.
