Hua Manman first paid a visit to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion.
She dismissed the attendants, leaving only herself and Princess Rouwan in the room.
Princess Rouwan frowned. "Why do you have that look on your face? Don't tell me Li Ji has gotten into trouble outside again?"
Hua Manman lowered her voice and said grimly.
"Something big might be about to happen in Shangjing. It would be best for you to leave the capital as soon as possible and lie low for a while.
I remember the Prince has a villa outside the city. If you don't mind, you could stay there for a while.
If you find the villa too quiet, you could also move to the estate. It's much livelier there, with more people."
Princess Rouwan was skeptical. "Isn't everything fine in the capital? What sort of big event could happen?"
Hua Manman leaned in and whispered in her ear.
"The Saint is currently bedridden with a lingering illness. I suspect he may not live for much longer."
Princess Rouwan was shocked.
