After the recent commotion, news of the Holy Emperor bestowing a marriage upon Prince Qing had become common knowledge.
Huai Xu came to the Prince Mansion to deliver medicinal herbs for Song Lianhe. Upon seeing her, he offered his congratulations with a smile. "Should I be calling you Princess Qing now?"
"Sigh, I'm sure you know what's going on between me and Zhou Cangyan. I'm just a tool for him and Prince Yi to divert attention. So, just call me by my name from now on. I'd be more comfortable with that."
Huai Xu had been Zhou Cangyan's military doctor, so their relationship was anything but ordinary. There was no need for her to put on a facade in front of him.
Huai Xu gazed at her and smiled faintly. "It seems you don't really know him yet. No one can force Prince Qing to do something he doesn't want to do."
Song Lianhe gave a bitter smile. 'How could Huai Xu possibly know!'
'Indeed, no one can force him. But what if it's for the person he loves?'
