The prince left for a short while, then returned to the room.
Listening to Lady Chi's hoarse voice, he said, "Her throat hasn't fully recovered, whatever needs to be said, can be said later. Please leave for now."
Reminding Lady Chi to take the anti-abortion pills, Su Jin bid farewell to Xie Jingchen.
That night, no one slept peacefully.
Lady Chi was Xie Jingchen's birth mother and had almost been burned to death.
Everyone thought the prince would take leave to accompany her during her pregnancy, never leaving her bedside.
Unexpectedly, the prince went to the morning court as usual.
It hadn't rained for over two months. Once the Qingqiu Garden caught fire, the blaze was so strong that it couldn't be extinguished.
The entire Capital City saw the towering flames above the Zhenbei Royal Mansion.
The next morning at court, the Emperor asked the prince, "Was everything alright with the fire at Zhenbei Mansion yesterday?"
