"Master Ji, you have no evidence, you are slandering me!"
Xiao Xian's eyes were stern, and the aura around him was as cold as ice.
Qu Li didn't expect that Xiao Xian would actually enter the palace.
The two were at a distance from each other, and when their eyes met, Qu Li remained calm, while Xiao Xian's deep eyes were filled with sadness and a hint of embarrassment.
Just as Qu Li asked just now.
If she had not changed and was still the same Qu Li, even if he knew that she had saved him, he might still dislike her.
And it was also true that he strangled her neck without asking any questions that day!
He knew that what lay between them was not a small pit or a small hill, but a huge chasm.
She has changed!
Become dazzling!
It was this change that attracted him deeply.
But it was this change that made her unwilling to forgive him and unwilling to give him a chance.
After figuring this out, there was only bitterness in his mouth.
Worried about her, he didn't have time to digest the bitterness and hurried into the palace.
Unexpectedly, I heard Ji Mingshan say this.
Ji Mingshan's scalp tingled. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Princess Ye Hua saw this matter through from beginning to end!"
"Father, please invite Princess Yehua into the palace! I will never allow anyone to throw dirty water on Li'er!" Xiao Xianxiu frowned.
Emperor Kang didn't want to involve Rong Yehua. After all, the King of Zhongshan had indeed intimidated many restless tribes in these years.
He gently stroked the rim of the teacup with his fingertips, thought for a moment, and finally asked Eunuch Fu to ask someone.
Rong Yehua was looking at the two cups of tea on the table at this time, his eyes wandering away.
The maid stood outside, looking inside through the crack in the door from time to time. Once she was sure that she was okay, she could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Princess, someone is coming from the palace!"
After hearing the report, Rong Yehua finally brought his wandering thoughts back to reality.
"knew."
Soon, she found out why Emperor Kangdi summoned her to the palace.
I had thought about giving up on commemorating Fu before.
She had a good relationship with her, but not so good that she would risk everything for her.
After getting on the carriage, she remembered what Cheng Ruolan had said to her.
During this period, Xiao Xian followed Qu Li every day, and even moved to the courtyard opposite Wenzhaoyuan for her, completely losing his former charm.
She suddenly clenched her hands and pursed her red lips into a line.
Qu Li really doesn't deserve Xiao Xian's love!
The carriage slowly stopped. The driver called out several times outside, but Rong Yehua didn't come down. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
The maid gently lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Princess, we have arrived at the palace."
Rong Yehua got off the carriage, took a look at the majestic palace, and walked in slowly.
When she entered the imperial study, she saw the tall and strong man standing next to Qu Li.
Her thoughts turned back to her, and she seemed to see him galloping on horseback again.
The moment Rong Yehua came in, Qu Li's eyes stayed on her face, and naturally he saw the infatuation on her face when she saw Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian didn't react at all.
Rong Yehua was worried that his thoughts would be discovered, so he quickly looked away and saluted Kangdi.
She was different from other noble ladies who grew up in the capital. When she saluted Emperor Kang Fu, she performed the etiquette of a military general.
This surprised Qu Li a little.
Kangdi didn't seem to be unusual. It was obvious that Rong Yehua was like this before.
"Ye Hua pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
"Princess Yehua, Minister Ji said that you witnessed with your own eyes how Princess Chen poisoned Ji Nianfu, causing her to have no feeling in her legs now!" Emperor Kang asked solemnly.
Rong Yehua clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, Yehua did go to Yunxiangzhai with Miss Ji."
Qu Li caught her obsessed look when she looked at Xiao Xian, but his face did not show any emotion.
If Rong Yehua could really make Xiao Xian value him, she would have less worries!
When Ji Mingshan heard the three words "Miss Ji", his face changed drastically.
In the past, when Rong Yehua corresponded with Nianfu, he always called her "Nianfu" affectionately. Now, in front of the emperor, he actually changed the address. This is obviously not good!
"Your Majesty, Ye Hua also tried to dissuade Miss Ji from being disrespectful to Princess Chen, but Miss Ji was clearly spoiled and continued to act as she pleased. Ye Hua saw nothing, so he cannot testify!"
Before Rong Yehua came here, Emperor Kang had thought that if Rong Yehua gave this testimony, although he would temporarily let the Ji family go, he would also become wary of King Zhongshan.
Now, he was completely relieved.
Qu Li turned his eyes to the side, glanced at Rong Yehua lightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Feeling her gaze, Rong Yehua turned his head to look at her.
However, Qu Li had already withdrawn his gaze and stood quietly beside Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian stepped forward and said, "Father, since it was Miss Ji who first tried to tease Li'er, and she was also disrespectful to Li'er, then I would like to ask Master Ji, is this the Ji family's family education?"
Ji Mingshan stammered twice, feeling extremely regretful for entering the palace without caring about anything.
Qu Li raised his eyebrows and added, "Your Majesty, Qu Li is skilled in medicine, but not in poisons."
Upon hearing this, Kangdi looked at her with a deeper gaze.
Even the imperial physician couldn't tell that he was poisoned, but she could not only tell, but also easily cure his poison. If she wasn't proficient in poison techniques, then there was probably no one else in the world who was proficient in it.
"Master Ji, you should ask Miss Ji how her knees got damaged!"
"Princess Chen, what do you mean? Nianfu's knees are really broken!"
Ji Mingshan's eyes were red as he retorted loudly.
"Princess Ye Hua testified that I didn't poison her broken knees! I don't know what happened! Perhaps Miss Ji enjoys watching plays and unconsciously wants to experience the feeling of acting?"
Ji Mingshan was speechless after hearing what she said, and his heart felt like a fire was burning.
"Princess Chen, how could you humiliate Nianfu like this?"
Qu Li was about to speak, but Xiao Xian took the lead.
His brows were cold and his eyes were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. He grabbed Qu Li's arm, blocked her behind him, and kicked Ji Mingshan.
With a muffled groan, Ji Mingshan fell to the ground, his face as pale as gold paper.
When he met Xiao Xian's angry eyes, the fear in his heart was magnified infinitely.
Qu Li didn't expect Xiao Xian to actually defend him, and his brows furrowed slightly.
But Rong Yehua's heart seemed to be in turmoil.
She thought of what Cheng Ruolan said again.
——The King of Chen you love is unparalleled in bravery, but what does Qu Li have? She is just a person with a silver tongue, and her favorite thing is to seduce other men.
——The only one worthy of Prince Chen is a brave woman like Princess Ye Hua!
Rong Yehua's heart swelled, and his gaze slowly slid from Xiao Xian's face to Qu Li...
