Cui Cheng's vital signs had stabilized and it was getting late, so Qu Li prepared to say goodbye and leave.
The wife of the Earl of Zhongyong personally saw him off and prepared some gifts to express her gratitude.
Qu Li did not refuse.
When it comes to curing illnesses and saving lives, she is no saint. Moreover, if she doesn't accept the patient, Lady Zhongyong will probably think too much.
After all, if the matter of the parasitic twin were to be spread, it would have a fatal impact on Cui Cheng.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw a tall man in the night.
I have to say that this bastard Xiao Xian is indeed handsome. Even in this lonely night, he is still eye-catching.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong was startled for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Prince Chen is worried about Princess Chen, so he came to pick her up, right?"
Qu Li said goodbye to the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong with a faint expression.
Xiao Xian stepped forward and wanted to help her get into the carriage, but suddenly he thought of how they had been getting along during this period and became hesitant.
While he was hesitating, Qu Li had already gotten on the carriage and told Awang to drive away.
Before the wife of the Earl of Zhongyong walked in, she turned her head and saw Xiao Xian's face full of disbelief and loneliness, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Xiao Xian came to his senses and immediately chased after him.
He used his lightness skills to jump off the horse and got into the carriage. He was originally full of anger, but when he saw Qu Li, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed and a look of fatigue between his brows, all the blame and resentment that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed up.
"very tired?"
Qu Li narrowed his eyes and said "hmm" softly.
This major operation, which should have required the cooperation of several people, was completed by her alone. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, she really felt that she would have fainted in the middle of it.
"I have already revealed to the Second Brother how the Queen framed the Consort."
The corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc: "I guess the royal hunt soon will be exciting!"
If the Second Prince Xiao Ci wanted to overthrow Xiao Zhao, the simplest and most effective way would be to form an alliance first, and then disintegrate and defeat them one by one.
At this time, Xiao Zhao was probably still focused on dealing with Xiao Xian, but he didn't realize that he had become a thorn in the eyes of several princes.
Thinking of Xiao Zhao's embarrassment during the royal hunt, she suddenly felt in a very good mood and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Her eyes were naturally beautiful, and under the candlelight, they looked like sparkling obsidian. Combined with her upturned mouth, Xiao Xian suddenly felt as if ice and snow were melting, and he couldn't help but grab her hand.
When his rough palm wrapped around her soft hand, Qu Li felt a huge sense of disgust in her heart.
"Let go!" She raised her eyebrows and spoke sternly.
"Li'er, I was blind back then and didn't know it was you who saved me! And you've also lost that memory. So, it can be said that this mistaken identity isn't your fault, nor mine! I only blame the person behind Bai Fengyao!"
Qu Li gritted his teeth and tried to pull his hand away. His eyes were filled with anxiety and hurt. He was afraid that she would prick him with a silver needle, so he quickly pressed her acupoints.
Although Qu Li was acupunctured again, he was not angry at all.
On the contrary, she felt a little excited in her heart.
During this period, she has been practicing internal strength.
Feng Yi injected some internal energy into her that day, and she practiced diligently according to the mental method taught by Changle. The internal energy in her dantian has increased day by day.
It’s a good opportunity to try and see if I can unblock the acupoints!
If I could solve it...
Blind the scumbag's eyes!
Suddenly meeting Qu Li's eyes full of evil amusement, Xiao Xian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt a little strange in his heart for no reason.
It's just that he is now eager to ease the relationship with Qu Li and wants to get her forgiveness, so he didn't think too deeply about it.
Qu Li concentrated his energy and tried to mobilize the internal energy in his dantian to break through the blocked acupoints.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Xian became quiet and his uneasy heart calmed down little by little.
"Li'er, let's forget about the unpleasantness of the past, cherish the present, and live a good life in the future, okay?"
His handsome face was full of sincerity, and his phoenix eyes were full of expectation.
If it were the original owner, Qu Li felt that he would nod in shock. After all, even if the original owner lacked the memory of saving Xiao Xian, his heart and eyes were still full of him.
But she is not the original owner!
During this period, she and Xiao Xian got along quite harmoniously, and she didn't want to put aside their past grudges and live a good life with him.
However, she had not yet arranged a retreat, and Xiao Zhao and others were still eyeing that position covetously. If she made a mistake, it would not matter if he died, but she, the Princess of Chen, would definitely be implicated!
What she had to do was to make sure that no one could point out her fault, even if they divorced, so as not to bring shame to the Li family, or make Qu Wenzhao unable to hold his head up, and live in rumors for the rest of his life!
"Xiao Xian, if you had strangled me to death that day, you could only say these heartfelt words at my grave."
She said this very lightly, but it set off a storm in Xiao Xian's heart.
"That day..."
"Xiao Xian, I've said it before, I've always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Wrong is wrong, and I won't tolerate any sand in my eyes!"
Xiao Xian's heart sank completely after hearing these words.
He couldn't accept that the woman who once loved him was now looking at him coldly and saying such cruel words to him.
His throat was blocked for a long time before he finally spoke: "But I was also deceived by Bai Fengyao at that time."
"Xiao Xian."
Qu Li tried to break through the acupuncture points, but her internal strength was still not enough, and she sighed helplessly.
"Qu Li was also framed! You are a martial artist with sharp eyes and ears, so why didn't you notice anything unusual when you entered the side hall? When something happened, you didn't investigate carefully, but instead put all the blame on the innocent Qu Li. You will not be able to marry Bai Fengyao, and all the anger for not being able to fulfill your promise will fall on an innocent person. Do you deserve the words 'standing tall and upright'?"
Xiao Xian didn't care about the strangeness in her words. His handsome face turned pale and blue as she spoke. He clearly wanted to defend himself, but the blockage in his throat became more and more severe, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Xiao Xian, let's have a good talk."
She was so calm that Xiao Xian, who remained calm in the face of thousands of enemy troops, felt even more uneasy.
His jaw was taut, his thin lips were pressed into a line, and his palms, clenched into fists, were sweaty.
“Dongdongdong——”
He could even clearly hear his own heartbeat like a drum, echoing throughout the entire carriage.
"Weren't we just having a good conversation?"
After staring at each other for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty.
Qu Li stared into his eyes, which were a little uncertain due to nervousness, without blinking, and slowly opened her lips.
