"I'll help you succeed in that position, and you'll divorce me, how about that?"

Xiao Xian's face turned completely gloomy.

"Qu Li, it's my fault that I didn't investigate it right away and hated you! I've apologized to you many times without caring about my dignity. You may not forgive me, after all..."

He paused, closed his eyes, and hid all the sadness in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes again.

His deep eyes were tinged with red as he spoke hoarsely, "I will investigate the incident in the side hall as soon as possible. As for the divorce... don't even think about it! It seems like we won't be able to have a peaceful discussion tonight."

He said this in an impatient tone and was about to lift the curtain and leave.

At this moment, Qu Li, who had never opened the acupoints, suddenly felt a heat in his dantian, and he had successfully opened the acupoints.

She had just thought that if the acupoints were untied, she would definitely poke out Xiao Xian's eyes.

Her actions were faster than her brain. When Xiao Xian lifted the car curtain with a lonely look on his face, she quickly grabbed the back of his collar.

"I'll let you press my acupoints again!"

The voice was as cold as ice and broken jade. Xiao Xian was still immersed in what she had just said to him and did not realize that he had just forgotten to unblock her acupuncture points.

She grabbed his collar and when he turned his head to look, she stabbed his eyes with two fingers mercilessly.

He was horrified and quickly turned his head to avoid it.

Although he reacted quickly and dodged her fingers, she still scratched his handsome face.

Looking at the scratch on his cheek that was oozing blood, Qu Li still felt unsatisfied.

Xiao Xian was completely stunned.

He didn't expect Qu Li to be so ruthless.

At this moment, he could not feel the sharp pain on his cheek because the pain in his heart was too great.

Qu Li crossed his arms, "What are you looking at? If you dare to press my acupoints again, I won't be polite!"

With her ability, if she really wanted to make Xiao Xian blind, it would be a piece of cake. However, those with flaws cannot become emperor.

Xiao Xian looked at her silently for a long time...

However, her gaze was so cold that he felt he would completely collapse if he continued to look at her.

As if he was fleeing in panic, he got off the carriage with a wound on his cheek.

Awang glanced at his injured face and was shocked.

"Your Majesty!"

Guangping, who was driving behind him, saw the wound on his face and his eyes twitched violently.

"Return to the palace."

Guangping glanced at him secretly and stayed by his side silently.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Xian ordered Guangping to immediately investigate why Qu Li appeared in the side hall at the palace banquet that year.

"Your Highness, it's been so long since we last saw each other. It's not easy to investigate! Also, the wound on your face..."

Wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing if people saw him with a scratched face?

"Go ask downstairs and find a few smart people who can coax people over."

Guangping looked puzzled.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Xiao Xian waved his hand impatiently.

"I'll be there right away."

He quickly went to find a few servants who were good at talking and coaxing people.

Several people were worried and didn't understand why Xiao Xian suddenly asked them to go to the study, and kept asking Guangping.

However, Guangping didn't know, and even if he knew, he couldn't just tell his master's thoughts to his servants.

When he heard the knock on the door, Xiao Xian had already applied medicine on the wound.

"Come in."

The lights in the study were brightly lit. Xiao Xian sat upright in a chair, with candlelight covering his body. Instead of looking handsome, he gave people the feeling of seeing a Shura from hell.

"Your Majesty."

One of the servants who was a little braver saluted timidly.

Xiao Xian's face was stern as he stared at the few people without blinking.

The few of them were already nervous, and now being stared at by him, they became even more terrified.

With several "thumps", several people knelt on the ground one after another, begging Xiao Xian for mercy.

Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes and leaned forward.

Several people felt that the air pressure in the study seemed to be lower, and they lowered their heads even lower.

"Guangping, you go down first."

Guangping looked at him hesitantly, but finally stepped back.

The door slowly closed, and several servants seemed to sense the breath of death, and trembled with fear.

"You guys get up first."

Everyone exchanged fearful glances before standing up tremblingly.

"I'm asking you, if you make someone angry, what methods do you use to appease them?"

There were capital question marks and exclamation marks on everyone's forehead.

Xiao Xian became even more restless, and with a "bang", he slammed the table hard.

"When the king asked you questions, you all fell silent?"

Several people swallowed their saliva before speaking one after another.

Some people said they could buy some rouge and powder, others said they could dress up as cats or dogs, and some said they could give flowers or buy gifts...

The noise was like a vegetable market, and it made Xiao Xian's head hurt even more.

“That’s enough!”

Several of them had pale faces and looked at him blankly.

Xiao Xian took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "You just said you wanted to give me rouge and powder?"

The servant was stared at by his dark and deep eyes, and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes! The rouge and powder at Yunxiangzhai are the best, but I am really short of money, so I can only buy the cheapest."

Xiao Xian frowned, a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes, and he slowly shifted his gaze to another person's face.

"The slave just said that you can dress up as a cat or a dog!"

At this moment, he actually wanted to slap himself hard in the face twice.
