Chapter Thirty-Six: The Prince Still Remembers You

  Han Caiwei was taken aback, yes, why is she so concerned about Li Xiuzhen's thoughts now? In fact, there is an answer, she doesn't want to think deeply, she knows that the more she thinks, the more troublesome it will be, and it's better not to think at all.

  She used to think that Li Xiuzhi was a good king, but now it seems that she was too optimistic. As a person with modern ideas in this place, she is out of place, let alone being a lowly concubine. Even if she really finds freedom one day, she will probably not be able to make a living here without any status or connections.

  "Shuang'er, how is Xuer now?" Li Xiuzhen didn't mind if he was annoyed with her, as long as he didn't abandon the little beauty. That child was pitiful enough, and it wasn't good that he was implicated because of her own affairs.

  Miss, don't worry. Although the prince is angry, he hasn't made things difficult for young master. It's just that young master's daily life is now being taken care of by Princess Wang. The prince has been busy with a case recently and can't take care of young master. Originally, the prince was supposed to come to the other courtyard today, but something came up and he couldn't make it.

  Han Caiwei furrowed her brow slightly: "Is the food and daily life of Xuer taken care of by the queen? The king is so angry, punished an unrelated person, and then this matter is over. What about me, the one who started it all?" Her mind was filled with the idea that one person does something and another takes responsibility, Han Caiwei really couldn't accept someone else suffering for her.

  Shuang'er has already sent over the food and even brought a special dish of lotus seed and osmanthus cake, hearing

  Han Caiwei took a bite of the rice cake and frowned, looking at the rice cake in her hand: "This is only available in Mei Garden, right? I remember that our other courtyard doesn't have this flavor. Shuang'er, did you secretly bring it from Mei Garden or was it given by Xuer?"

  Shuang'er smiled and moved the plate closer to make it easier for Han Caiwei to eat: "Just now, I said that the king was just angry with Wang Shi and didn't blame Miss for anything. However, I also don't know what happened between Miss and the king last night. Later, I only saw

  Hua Caiwei looked at her and put the rice cake back in her hand: "Shuang Er, what are you talking about? Don't you know what happened between Wang Ye and me last night? Doesn't the princess know? Didn't the Wang family say anything? You just said that Wang Ye scolded you, and also mentioned Xu Er."

  Shuang'er was taken aback and replied, "Yes, the king scolded me and said that the young master is not allowed to beg for mercy. This happened this morning. The rebuke of Queen Wang for begging for mercy happened last night. Everyone only knows that Queen Wang trespassed into the plum garden, but they don't know why. The king didn't say a word, so I don't know either. However, from the questions Miss asked just now and looking at this plate of sugar cakes, it seems that the king still has Miss in his heart!"

  Shuang'er explained in detail, and Han Caiwei finally understood that Li Xiuzhi had scolded Wang Shi last night, and Ji Zhaohui had come to plead for mercy. Shuang'er didn't dare to go over on her own, but happened to hear that it was Wang Shi who made the mistake. Later, early in the morning, Li Xiuzhi discovered that Han Caiwei wasn't in the Wang mansion at all, and scolded Shuang'er for not taking good care of Han Caiwei. However, he didn't mention a word about her fleeing in a hurry, so everyone else didn't know the specific situation last night, only knowing that Wang Shi had made a mistake.

  Han Caiwei gazed at the sugar cake, inexplicably feeling that it was sweeter than last night. A faint smile played on her lips, unnoticed by herself. She turned to Shuang'er and said: "Pick out a few good pieces of jewelry, I'll get ready and go see Madame Wang later."
