Kangdi still looked skeptical and raised his hand to shake his shoulder.
“Cherish it!”
To become an emperor, one must give up something.
Just like him, he gave up his love!
Even for the sake of the overall situation, he did not seek justice for his lover.
He is a capable son, but he is a complete failure in love.
He hopes that one day, when he sits on the dragon throne that everyone looks up to, the one he loves will be by his side.
Although there were only four words, Xiao Xian still understood the deep meaning.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "This son will certainly not let the emperor down!"
Kangdi looked up at the waning moon in the sky, his eyes flickering.
"How could I not know that the tiger and the python are acting strangely? But I must focus on the overall situation!"
"Li'er has already told me about this. If your Majesty truly cares for Li'er, why not give her both of these things? It's said that the giant python is covered in treasures!"
"They say that when a girl grows up, she's not allowed to stay at home. When a son gets married, he forgets his mother. It's really like that!"
Although Kangdi spoke in anger, his previous melancholy was swept away, and even his deeply furrowed brows were completely relaxed.
Eunuch Fu let out a long breath.
Fortunately, there is Prince Chen, otherwise the emperor would definitely be so angry that he couldn’t sleep tonight.
The father and son turned around and left quietly.
Qu Li tamed the tiger egg and touched its big furry head before leaving.
Hu Dan rubbed his head against her palm in a flattering manner.
The guards were all shocked.
Why do they think that this tiger is like a docile big cat in front of Princess Chen?
Qu Li was about to return to the tent when he suddenly bumped into a young eunuch.
The young eunuch knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, slapping himself repeatedly.
"This slave deserves to die. I offended Princess Chen. Please forgive me, Princess Chen!"
Qu Li looked down at the young eunuch and said calmly, "Get up!"
The young eunuch lowered his head and said a few words timidly before he quickly left.
Qu Li frowned as he looked at the little eunuch who had almost blended into the night, and glanced suspiciously at the note in his palm.
She looked around carefully and unfolded it.
【At midnight, the entrance to the dense forest.】
No signature!
Qu Li narrowed his eyes and threw the note into the space calmly.
Back in the tent, Xiao Xian was drinking tea.
He was very grateful for this royal hunting trip, which gave him the opportunity to be in the same room with her.
Although she was still cold and still deliberately kept a distance from him, his heart was still excited.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest!"
It was clearly just a very ordinary sentence, and he also knew that it was impossible for them to sleep in the same bed, but he still clearly felt the blood in his body boiling.
Qu Li ignored the blush on his ears and added calmly, "I'll sleep on the bed and you'll sleep on the floor, or you'll sleep on the bed and I..."
Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her.
His handsome eyebrows were twisted into a river, and his eyes were full of displeasure.
"I'm a man, how could I let a woman sleep on the ground?"
Qu Li nodded.
In fact, he can sleep on the bed, and she can enter the space directly after he falls asleep.
Xiao Xian's face darkened, "Wash up!"
She raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything else to deliberately provoke him.
The night in the Nanjiao Villa was very quiet. The chirping of insects and birds could be heard, and Qu Li felt as if time had slowed down.
In a quarter of an hour it would be midnight.
She didn't know who gave her this note. She tilted her head and glanced at Xiao Xian, whose breathing was long and steady, in the moonlight, then got up quietly.
Xiao Xian woke up almost as soon as she walked out of the tent.
A huge question mark appeared between his brows, and his eyes flickered.
What is she doing out so late?
Out of worry and curiosity, he quickly followed.
Qu Li came to the entrance of the dense forest with the help of the dim moonlight.
Xiao Xian held his breath and hid in the dark.
Soon, there were rustling sounds of footsteps, and Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes.
Qu Li looked back, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
She thought it might be Feng Yi who asked her to come here.
No matter what, Feng Yi helped her today.
It’s not too much to say thank you!
But unexpectedly, it wasn't him who came!
When Xiao Xian saw the face of the person who came clearly, it was as if a fire was burning in his chest, and even his eyes seemed to be burned red.
Xiao Rui was smiling and holding a folding fan in his hand.
When he saw the beautiful figure bathed in the moonlight, his eyes lit up.
"Seventh brother's wife is truly beautiful. Standing here like this, with rich colors and bold strokes, she looks like a painting."
When Qu Li saw Xiao Rui, disgust arose in his eyes.
"Really? The Fourth Prince looks quite respectable!"
Although he was ridiculed, there was no anger on Xiao Rui's face.
Considering his noble status, handsome and elegant personality, all the women around him were gentle and obedient. No one was as eloquent and hot-tempered as Qu Li.
He felt that he seemed to have some masochistic tendencies. The more Qu Li spoke harshly to him, the more excited he became.
"What on earth could the Fourth Prince want me to go out with so late at night?"
All of Qu Li's patience had completely disappeared, and his tone was very aggressive.
"I just think the moonlight is beautiful tonight, and I want to invite my seventh brother and sister-in-law to watch the moon together."
Qu Li looked up and said, "When I said that the Fourth Prince looked like a good-looking man, I really didn't use the wrong word! Please open your eyes and take a good look. Where is the beautiful moonlight in the sky?"
Xiao Rui was not annoyed. He raised the corners of his lips in a charming arc and took half a step forward.
It was quiet here, just the two of them.
The night breeze blew gently, bringing the woman's faint fragrance to the nose, with a hint of medicinal aroma.
It was a fragrance he had never smelled before!
His gaze darkened as he looked at Qu Li.
"Fourth Prince, if you have nothing else to do, please don't do this kind of tricks in the future! Not all women like your sanctimonious and hypocritical appearance."
She made no effort to conceal her dislike for him.
Seeing her turning around to leave, Xiao Rui, in a hurry, didn't care about the taboos between men and women and grabbed her wrist directly.
Under the hazy moonlight, his eyes fell on her slender wrist, and his breathing became rapid.
She has been married to Xiao Xian for such a long time, yet she is still a virgin?
After another careful look, I saw that there was indeed toad blood on the fair wrist!
A sharp murderous intent flashed in Qu Li's eyes, and the aura around him became cold and sharp.
Just as she was about to bend her knees and kick Xiao Rui in the abdomen, a gust of wind rushed towards Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui was in a state of confusion at the moment, and when he realized it, it was already too late.
He was blown away by the fierce gust of wind, and his shoulder hit the tree trunk with a "crack". It was not sure whether it was the trunk that broke or his shoulder blade.
Qu Li turned his head to look at the figure slowly walking out of the shadows, and was stunned.
