Ji Qingwu knew what was really going on.
The date for her follow-up appointment hadn't arrived yet. This was just an excuse to help her out of a jam.
Li Chengxun didn't know about Princess Qingyun falling into the water last night. Clearly, the news had been suppressed and hadn't spread outside the palace yet.
For anyone outside the palace to know she had spent the night in Zhaoyang Hall, they must have an informant within its walls.
'But spying on the Emperor's movements is a capital offense. Who would dare do such a thing?'
The answer was obvious.
Ji Qingwu blinked, not pointing it out. She smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm not very perceptive."
Princess Hua Chang's cool gaze fell upon her face. While not a peerless beauty, her eyes shone like lustrous pearls and glowed like fine jade.
'Even I want to take a second look. No wonder the Emperor has broken the rules for her time and again.'
