The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

During this period, Liao Qinglan's yard was no longer filled with laughter as usual.

Everyone noticed that ever since returning from the poetry competition at the school with the young master, the eldest lady had been in a very low mood and had lost interest in even the things she usually liked to do.

Jinxiu asked the young master what was going on.

Liao Wei told her what happened that day.

Jinxiu naturally thought that the eldest lady was frightened and had not yet recovered.

She walked into Liao Qinglan's room and found her master sitting by the window, fiddling with the muscle-relaxing powder that Cheng Yuan had just given her.

Liao Qinglan's eyes were a little blurry and she seemed absent-minded.

Jinxiu walked lightly to Liao Qinglan and suggested, "Miss, the weather outside is very nice, shall we go out and fly a kite?"

Liao Qinglan shook her head, sounding very tired: "I don't want to go out, I just want to be alone and quiet."

Jinxiu looked at Liao Qinglan, her heart full of worry.

She noticed that the medicine in Liao Qinglan's hand was the special medicine that the young lady had prepared for Gu Mingzhao.

She asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu's medicine is almost finished, how about I accompany you to deliver the medicine?"

Hearing this, Liao Qinglan threw the medicine bottle to Jinxiu as if she had touched a hot potato, and said in a cold voice: "Just find someone to deliver it. I don't want to see him."

Jinxiu was shocked.

She clearly remembered that the eldest lady used to be personally involved in everything for Master Gu, even preparing and delivering medicine herself. How come she suddenly didn't even want to meet him?

"Miss, did Mr. Gu do something to make you unhappy?" Jinxiu asked cautiously.

Liao Qinglan did not answer, but just sighed softly and turned her head to the window.

Seeing this, Jinxiu didn't dare to ask more questions and could only quietly leave the room and deliver the medicine to Gu Mingzhao as instructed by Liao Qinglan.

After a while, the gatekeeper came.

"Miss, someone has sent you a letter." said the servant.

Jinxiu took the letter and handed it to her.

Liao Qinglan took a quick glance and saw that it was an invitation letter. Her maiden name was written in neat regular script on the cover, and there was a royal seal at the end of the letter, highlighting the noble status of the inviter.

She didn't reach out to take it, her brows were furrowed, and she looked a little unhappy.

"Why is this person so persistent?" Liao Qinglan muttered.

"Is the letter delivery man still here? Go and reject him on behalf of the young lady." Jinxiu understood her master's thoughts and made arrangements immediately.

Liao Qinglan thought about it and felt that it was pointless to continue to argue like this, so she stopped the guard.

"Don't worry. Tell Liao Wan'er the time and place of the invitation and say that it is the Second Prince who invites you. Then tell the messenger that Miss Liao will go as scheduled."

The guard did as she asked.

When Liao Wan'er learned that Li Jin wanted to invite her out for a trip, her joy was beyond words.

She couldn't wait to tell her maid Xiaomei to dress her up and get ready for the appointment.

She sat down in front of the dressing table, her heart full of anticipation.

"Xiaomei, be sure to dress up nicely for me." Liao Wan'er ordered.

Xiaomei skillfully tied Liao Wan'er's hair into a bun and selected the most luxurious hair accessories and jewelry.

"Miss, why don't you take this opportunity to ask His Highness the Second Prince to find a way to bring the Madam back from the nunnery?" Xiaomei suggested.

When Liao Wan'er heard Xiaomei's suggestion, she was moved.

Du Chunhua has been sent to a nunnery for more than a month. Originally thought it was just a temporary punishment, but unexpectedly there was no intention of taking her back.

As the days passed, her anxiety grew.

I was so happy just now that I forgot such an important thing!

She pushed aside those luxurious headgear and said, "You don't need any of that. Just wear a jade hairpin and make my face look a little pale. Make me look a little more haggard."

Xiaomei immediately understood Liao Wan'er's intention. The young lady wanted to gain the favor of the Second Prince so that she could rescue his wife.

"Miss is really thoughtful. I will do your makeup and choose clothes for you right away!" Xiaomei said with sincere admiration.

After dressing up carefully, Liao Wan'er arrived at Chunbo Lake.

The lake surface sparkles and the willow branches float in the wind.

Li Jin had been waiting under the willow tree for a long time.

He was wearing a blue robe, looking dignified, with gentle eyes gazing into the distance with a hint of anticipation.

When Liao Wan'er's figure appeared in his sight, he was a little surprised, but then he regained his composure and was even a little happy.

Liao Wan'er's makeup today is particularly simple and elegant, and her beautiful face is like a white lotus swaying in the wind.

Her gait was so light that a gust of wind seemed to be able to blow her down, adding a touch of gentleness and charm.

When she came closer, Li Jin noticed that her face was pale, the corners of her eyes were a little dark, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Li Jin couldn't help but feel pity, and put Liao Qinglan out of his mind, and asked gently: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? You look particularly haggard today."

Liao Wan'er bit her lip lightly, a thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes: "Your Highness, I... I came to say goodbye to you today... Let's not meet again in the future..."

When Li Jin heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. He held Liao Wan'er's hand and felt her cold hand trembling.

He looked around and felt that this place was crowded with people and not a good place to talk, so he took Liao Wan'er's hand and said, "It's not convenient here because there are so many people. Let's go to the carriage."

The two of them got into the carriage and sent the people around them away, leaving the carriage quiet and private.

Li Jin held Liao Wan'er's face, looked at her carefully, and asked distressedly: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? What did you mean by what you said just now?"

Liao Wan'er lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Your Highness, Sister Qinglan...she knew that you were going to marry me as a concubine, and she was very angry. She blamed my mother for not disciplining me well, and locked my mother up in a nunnery. She also threatened me that if I didn't give up Your Highness, my mother would suffer forever..."

After hearing this, Li Jin's face suddenly darkened.

There is only Liao Wan'er in his heart, but Liao Wan'er has no father or brother to support her. If he wants to aspire for the supreme throne, he still has to marry a noble lady with a distinguished family background as his principal wife.

For Liao Wan'er, he selected and selected among the noble ladies in the capital, and finally chose Liao Qinglan. He thought that she and Wan'er had the relationship of cousins, and she would definitely not let Wan'er down. But he didn't expect that she was so jealous!

Li Jin said angrily: "Liao Qinglan is really too much! I thought she was a sensible woman, but I didn't expect her to be so narrow-minded. Such a woman is not worthy of being my princess!"

Liao Wan'er threw herself into Li Jin's arms, sobbing: "Your Highness, I really don't want to leave you, but I also can't bear to see my mother suffer. My heart is so confused, what should I do..."
