Xie Qiqi spent a few days in a state of anxious unease, yet the Crown Prince made no further moves. She comforted herself with the thought that perhaps as long as she remained silent, the Crown Prince would not strike against the Xie Family. After all, the Crown Prince still relied heavily on her father and eldest brother.
Xie Qiqi realized it had been a long time since she had gone to learn medicine from her master. Seeing that things were calm, she hung a silk ribbon on a tree when no one was looking. This was the signal she had agreed upon with Moyuan, indicating that he could come to pick her up that evening for her lessons.
Night fell. Xie Qiqi waited under the tree at the appointed time, but after two hours, Moyuan had not appeared. *Is something wrong? Did he not see the signal?* Assuming Moyuan was not coming, she returned to her room to sleep.
