Changle's eyes were full of anger. He pulled out the whip and swung it hard at Caiju.

With a "snap" sound, Caiju's body was torn into pieces.

"You bastard, you bitch, I'll let you frame and plot against my seventh cousin, my seventh cousin..."

Changle's gaze moved to Qu Li's face and her voice stopped abruptly.

"Seventh cousin!" She stepped forward quickly and glared at Xiao Xian angrily: "You did it?"

She didn't believe that Cai Ju had the ability to hurt Qu Li.

Meeting Changle's eyes burning with anger, Xiao Xian suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He was about to help Qu Li unblock the acupuncture points, but Changle got there first.

Qu Li relaxed his whole body and raised his hand to gently touch his forehead.

She glanced at the red on her fingertips with an indifferent expression, sneered, and stared coldly at Xiao Xian, who had his lips tightly pursed into a line and was obviously feeling sorry.

Meeting her cold and sharp gaze, Xiao Xian felt as if his throat was blocked by a sponge soaked in water. He opened his lips, but could not utter the words of apology.

After being hit on the head and bleeding, Qu Li felt a little dizzy when he stood up.

Changle's eyes turned red with heartache, and he held her arm tightly.

Qu Li patted the back of her hand and gave her a soothing look. Then, facing Xiao Xian's complicated gaze, he slowly walked up to him step by step.

Their eyes met, one as cold as ice, the other full of guilt.

After staring at each other for a moment, Qu Li said with a half-smile: "Xiao Xian, I am a person who holds grudges!"

Xiao Xian clenched his hands tightly, his Adam's apple rolled, but he still didn't say a word.

"I have another advantage: I dare to take responsibility for my actions!"

The guilt in Xiao Xian's heart was suddenly replaced by a sense of restlessness. He really wanted Qu Li to faint right now.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

Qu Li took a deep breath. "You subjectively believe that Feng Yi and I have an ambiguous relationship, and even that Cai Ju was arranged by Feng Yi to enter Prince Chen's Mansion. If you want to steal something, then I will do as you wish!"

She didn't speak fast, and even her voice wasn't loud because of the headache.

But every word was pronounced clearly, like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Xian's heart hard.

Guangping glanced at Xiao Xian and a hint of worry rose in his heart.

He used to think that the prince loved Concubine Bai the most, and for her, he was even willing to risk the wrath of the world and welcome Concubine Bai into the Chen Palace as the principal wife.

It was not until the last few days, when he saw a smile on the prince's face from time to time, that he suddenly realized that it seemed that the prince treated Concubine Bai just like that!

And with the princess's personality, she will definitely not forgive the prince for what he did just now!

Xiao Xian pursed his lips, "Qu Li, this king..."

"Changle, please help me apply the medicine."

Xiao Xian's eyes darkened and he signaled Guangping to take Caiju out.

"Seventh cousin, does it hurt a lot?" Changle's eyes were filled with tears, and her hands were shaking violently as she helped her clean the wound.

Qu Li's face was expressionless: "It's okay! The wound must be disinfected!"

"Hmm." Changle sniffed and tried to make his movements lighter.

"Okay, help me apply medicine and bandage it!"

She clenched her hands into fists, and her back was already soaked with sweat from enduring the pain.

After the bandaging was completed, Changle prepared to go out with tears in her eyes and asked the maid to help Qu Li cook some nourishing soup to replenish qi and blood.

"Don't bother, I'll take a break!"

Qu Li planned to send Changle away and drink some spiritual spring water.

Changle bit her lip and said, "Then you should rest first, Seventh Cousin."

"good."

As soon as Changle left, she slipped into the space.

After drinking two sips of the spiritual spring water and taking a bath, I felt refreshed.

She sat under the fruit tree in the space, squinting her eyes and thinking about what to do next.

After Changle left the inner hall, she could no longer control her tears.

She first asked the maid to stew a nourishing soup, and then went to find Xiao Xian.

"Seventh cousin, are you a man? Even if you don't like Seventh cousin's wife, you shouldn't be so cruel, right?"

Xiao Xian's eyes were cold as he locked onto hers and said in a cold voice, "Don't bother me!"

Changle was a little frightened, but she stiffened her neck and met his murderous gaze with unyielding determination.

"You did something wrong about this matter. You must apologize to your seventh cousin!"

"Changle, don't force me to send you back!"

"You, you are really going too far! If I were your seventh cousin's wife, I wouldn't like you anymore!"

Changle ran out in fear.

Xiao Xian's mind was in a mess. The corners of his lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes were filled with unclear emotions.

Qu Li used to always follow behind him, and he always thought that no matter how he treated her, her eyes would always follow him.

Therefore, after finding the parchment scroll and tiger talisman on Caiju, he was so angry when he thought that these were all planned by her for Fengyi, even at the risk of her life.

"Your Majesty!"

Guangping knocked on the door twice, but still got no response from Xiao Xian, so she could only push the door open and come in.

Xiao Xian came back to his senses and looked over with dark eyes, "Did they find out during the interrogation?"

The secret guards have their own interrogation methods, and they can pry open even the toughest mouths!

"Cai Ju said that no one instructed her, she just wanted to take revenge on the princess."

Xiao Xian's brows knitted together. "No one ordered me to do this? Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it!" Guangping sighed, "But no matter what the secret guards do, she won't tell anyone even if she's beaten to death!"

"Heh!" Xiao Xian's lips curled up in a cold arc, "Why does she want to take revenge on Qu Li? Check!"

Guangping nodded and walked out.

The sun was shining brightly on his body, but he could not feel any warmth at all.

After giving the instructions, Xiao Xian went to Qinghe Garden again.

Changle was afraid of disturbing Qu Li's rest and was also afraid that she would have some instructions, so she stood guard in the corridor outside the bedroom.

Seeing Xiao Xian from afar, she put her hands on her hips and stared at him like a cow protecting her calf.

The aura around Xiao Xian was getting colder and colder.

Changle stiffened his neck, his heart pounding, yet he forced himself not to show his fear: "Seventh cousin, what do you want to do now?"

"I just went in to take a look."

Changle was furious. "You hurt someone, and now you want to go in and take a look? Are you kidding me? Unless you want to apologize to your seventh cousin, don't even think about going in!"

She stubbornly blocked Xiao Xian.

"Get out of the way!"

Two words, as cold as the coldest days of winter.

"I, I won't let you!"

"Don't make me angry!"

He pushed Changle away unkindly and opened the door to go in.

Qu Li, who was in the space, heard the noise outside and quickly slipped out.

She was now annoyed with Xiao Xian, but she also knew that if the problem was not solved, Changle would be the only one to suffer, and she would be the only one who would never have peace.

Xiao Xian was about to push the door, and the door to the inner hall opened.

Seeing Qu Li's pale face, Xiao Xian's lips slightly opened and closed, the three words "I'm sorry" were stuck between his lips and teeth, and he couldn't say them no matter how hard he tried.
