Qu Li looked at him calmly, "There really is nothing in this jar of wine. What on earth happened?"
She cares more about Feng Yi.
Even if it was a substitute, she was still worried.
Xiao Xian frowned, his dark eyes flickering.
On the way back to the capital, all he wanted was to let Qu Li check the jar of wine first.
As long as the problem is found, and he tells her about what happened with Rong Yehua, she will definitely not blame him.
Now, he was inexplicably cowardly!
The young man who once led thousands of troops and defeated the Southern Qi now looked like a coward.
"Xiao Xian, what happened?" Qu Li's patience completely disappeared and his tone was not very good.
"nothing!"
In the end, he chose to hide it.
Qu Li looked at him suspiciously for a long time.
"Someone drank alcohol yesterday and got diarrhea!"
She vaguely felt that it didn't seem like it, but since he didn't say anything, she didn't want to keep asking, as if she cared about him that much.
"Now that you're back, take a rest. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something for you."
"Are you concerned about me?" Xiao Xian's eyes sparkled.
"I've said it before, you and I are now in the same boat, and we prosper together!"
This is very honest, but also very hurtful.
Xiao Xian smiled bitterly.
He thought, even if he told her that he was tricked by Feng Yi and accidentally fell into his trap, she probably wouldn't care, right?
She is really a cold-hearted and cruel woman!
Taking a deep breath, he turned and left silently.
Qu Li watched his back disappear outside the gate of Qinghe Garden and decided to go to Shadow Pavilion later to find out what had happened to Xiao Xian.
The kitchen quickly prepared a table full of dishes, all of which were Xiao Xian's favorites.
But he had something on his mind and had no appetite at all.
Seeing that he hadn't moved an inch, the butler couldn't hide his concern and asked, "Your Highness, is the food not to your taste?"
Xiao Xian stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the exquisitely trimmed flowers and plants outside.
"Some things, if left unsaid or concealed, will eventually be discovered! It's better to speak up in advance. The most important thing is to be honest."
The housekeeper guessed that this matter was probably related to Qu Li. He considered it for a moment before speaking: "Your Highness, then just tell the Princess!"
"But I don't know how to say it! I don't know if she will understand me if I say it!"
Feng Yi is a scheming bitch who always pretends to be innocent in front of Qu Li.
But Qu Li just fell for his tricks!
Thinking about how he had previously remembered Bai Fengyao's kindness and the life-saving grace that was recognized as a mistake, he deliberately humiliated Qu Li and believed in Bai Fengyao unconditionally. He felt that everything he was experiencing now was clearly retribution!
The housekeeper looked at his lonely figure and asked in a low voice: "My Lord, how about I go and ask the princess to come over?"
He observed that the princess had been quite kind to the prince during this period. After a pause, he continued, "When the prince left the capital yesterday, the princess went to see him off!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xian turned around abruptly, his eyes unusually bright.
"What did you say?"
"The princess went to the city gate to see us off!"
Xiao Xian's heart felt a sharp tug, and then a bitter taste filled his mouth.
He could figure out with his toes whether Qu Li was sending it to him or Feng Yi.
"Tell Li'er that I'm back!"
Let’s keep the affair between him and Rong Yehua secret for as long as possible!
Xiao Xian came in a hurry and left quietly.
When Qu Li learned about this, he was preparing to go to the Shadow Pavilion.
"I understand. You go down first!"
The housekeeper continued, "Princess, I see that the prince seems to have something on his mind!"
"Um."
The butler frowned.
The princess uttered just this one word, what does it mean?
After all, he was just a servant, so he couldn't say too much and could only bow and leave.
Qu Li went to the Shadow Pavilion as an ordinary passerby and quickly found out why Xiao Xian was acting so abnormally.
He slept with Rong Yehua!
She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, so her expression was a little dazed.
The deputy pavilion master frowned deeply: "What's wrong, young master? Do you feel sorry?"
Qu Li came back to his senses: "No, I just find it a little unbelievable!"
"What's so incredible about this? Princess Ye Hua is in love with Prince Chen, and many people know it!"
"I'm curious about why Princess Ye Hua followed!"
Even though Rong Yehua loved Xiao Xian, he was very restrained.
Otherwise, given how much King Zhongshan loved his great-granddaughter over the years, he would never have failed to mention this matter to Emperor Kang.
And Rong Yehua, she did love Xiao Xian, but she had never done anything beyond the line, except for the last time when she instigated Ji Nian Fu, and even during the royal hunting trip, when she cooperated privately with Cheng Ruolan.
A strange look flashed across the deputy leader's eyes, so quickly that even Qu Li didn't have time to catch it.
"Haha, maybe she's decided to go all out this time. After all, if you always want something but can't get it, it's easy to become paranoid and do irrational things. Maybe she thinks this is her last chance?"
The deputy leader lied with his eyes open and kept touching his nose to cover up the embarrassment.
Qu Li frowned, "Does the Deputy Pavilion Master have a nose sore?"
"No, it's a little itchy!" The deputy leader laughed.
"Here is a box of ointment that can relieve itching." Qu Li took out a box of ointment, stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
The deputy leader saw her off respectfully.
Qu Li had just returned to Qinghe Garden when the housekeeper came to inform him that Fang had arrived.
She raised her eyebrows and asked the butler to invite the people here.
Fang also prepared some gifts for this visit.
Although she knew that Qu Li might not like it, she still wanted to convey her feelings.
When she came to Qinghe Garden again and saw Hudan and Goudan, she still felt her legs go weak.
Qu Li sat on the grass, supporting his chin with one hand, glancing at the pale Fang with a half-smile.
"Princess Chen, this is a gift for you! It's just a small token of my appreciation."
She forced an extremely ugly smile.
Qu Li didn't care about this little thought. The restaurant was doing very well now, and a lot of money went into her pocket every day.
Although the clinic provides a lot of free medical consultations, it has become famous and many dignitaries come to see it, and the daily income is quite good.
When Yueji reopens in a few days, she will be a rich woman.
Seeing Qu Li's indifferent expression, Fang was a little confused about what she was thinking.
"That Doctor Zhou almost killed Wen Qian. Fortunately, we have Princess Chen's medicine."
Qu Li's lips curled up in a lazy arc, "You should know what I care about!"
"After returning home, I did ask Master about it, both openly and covertly, but he refused to speak! As for the academy's affairs, since I'm just a woman, it's even more impossible for him to tell me."
Fang tried several times to ask Qu Li for medicine, but Qu Li could always change the subject easily. She was so anxious that she cursed Qu Li's ancestors a thousand times in her heart.
