Qu Li held Qu Wenzhao's hand and whispered in her ear: "Wenzhao, I know you are in pain. After tomorrow, everything will be over."
The corners of the boy's mouth rose, and his heart felt warm, "Eldest sister, I'm fine!"
"Good boy!" Qu Li rubbed the top of his head, "Good boy, have a good sleep!"
The tips of his ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out. He pursed his lips and closed his eyes obediently.
Qiao Zi secretly wiped away her tears.
After Qu Li came out, she saw the man still standing under the osmanthus tree in the yard, and frowned slightly.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?"
"Someone has to keep the peace, right?"
Qu Li laughed: "Do you think that since I dared to let Wen Zhao leave Yongshun Marquis Mansion, I will be afraid of them?"
Under the bright moonlight, her eyes were dazzlingly bright.
Xiao Xian was a little dazed.
"Just by looking at this courtyard, I can tell you must have a plan in place!"
Qu Li raised the corner of his eyebrow, "Prince Chen, you'd better go back quickly, lest the person you love so dearly shed tears again!"
It was clearly a teasing remark, but there wasn't a hint of jealousy in it.
Xiao Xian felt an inexplicable surge of restlessness in his heart.
She had obviously not been so cold to him before. Was she playing hard to get?
"This is my business!"
The voice was extremely unhappy.
"Whatever! But there's no room for the prince here."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the room.
The morning light slowly opens, birds sing, it is another beautiful morning.
Mo Wenqing conducted the trial overnight and finally came to a conclusion.
"Lord Chen, I have found the murderer!"
"Who?"
"It's Lan Zhi, the maidservant beside the Marquis' wife."
Qu Li happened to walk out of the room stretching lazily. Hearing this, he sneered.
Before she took the risky move, she had anticipated that Fang would not be defeated so easily.
She wanted two results:
Let Qu Wenzhao cut off all ties with the Yongshun Marquisate and kill Fang's most powerful minion, Madam Zhou.
The news of Qu Wenzhao being poisoned will surely become a hot topic today, and the severance of ties will be inevitable.
But Fang actually saved Madam Zhou...
Xiao Xian heard footsteps and looked up.
"Don't believe it?"
"What is Lan Zhi's motive?" Qu Li shifted his gaze to Mo Wenqing's face.
Meeting Qu Li's cold eyes that seemed to see through the mundane world, Mo Wenqing's mind focused and he replied, "Lan Zhi resents Madam Hou for breaking up her good marriage and wants to take revenge on Madam Hou."
Qu Li couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
"If that's the case, then she should have poisoned Qu Wenqian! Or she should have torn her clothes, ran out of Qu Wenqian's room, and jumped into the river. Let everyone know about it and ruin Qu Wenqian's reputation!"
"this……"
Although Mo Wenqing felt that Qu Li's words were a bit rough, his logic was not unreasonable.
If she was really angry with Fang, it would be better to take revenge on Qu Wenqian.
Qu Li bent his fingers and tapped them on the stone table a few times. "Never mind. There's still a long way to go! But I have a humble request."
"Princess Chen, please give your orders."
"It's not an order, and there's no need for Sir Mo to do anything that goes against his conscience. All you need is for Sir Mo to tell the truth."
Mo Wenqing has been in Jingzhao Prefecture for many years and has seen all kinds of cases. Qu Wenzhao is obviously suffering from chronic poisoning, and the poison will only take effect when it accumulates to a certain level. The Yongshun Marquis Mansion is far from what the outside world praises.
"I will tell the truth and will not tarnish the reputation of Fourth Young Master Qu."
Qu Li thanked him.
Mo Wenqing was horrified and dodged her salute.
Before noon, Qu Wenzhao's story had spread to everyone in the streets and alleys.
Qu Li, as Princess Chen, took Qu Wenzhao and her own letter of severance to the Yongshun Marquis's Mansion, in order to ask for her mother Li Ran's dowry and to seek justice for Qu Wenzhao.
The entire Yongshun Marquis Mansion was like a big opera, with many people gathered at the door to watch the fun.
Following the Censorate's advice, the emperor was furious and summoned Qu Yuxing into the palace, gave him a good beating, and asked him to go back and reflect on his mistakes.
Even though Qu Yuxing was extremely unhappy, he still asked Fang to return Li Ran's dowry to Qu Wenzhao.
"My Lord, I'm not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. A lot of the dowry has already been given away."
Li Ran's dowry was mostly calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books. At first, Fang really looked down on them. Later, after helping Qu Yuxing win over people's hearts and consolidate the friendship among colleagues, and giving away a lot of things, she realized how valuable these worthless pieces of paper were.
Qu Yuxing's face was so gloomy that ink seemed to drip out of it.
His eyes were sharp, and his tone was inevitably filled with disdain: "No matter how many women have appeared in my backyard over the years, your status has never changed! I also said that this title will be passed to Wen Qian sooner or later, why are you still trying to be smart?!"
Fang felt very aggrieved.
The reason why Qu Wenzhao became what he is now is indeed because of the chronic poison she planted behind his back.
But she is not a fool, how could she kill someone and let others use her as a tool to criticize her?
Qu Yuxing felt a sharp pain on his forehead. After a moment's hesitation, he said impatiently, "You must pay for all the items that were sent out on the list. You absolutely cannot give Qu Li another chance to cause trouble!"
The Emperor governs the country with benevolence, filial piety and brotherhood, and is a rare wise ruler. He often says, "cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world." In his view, if the harem is not peaceful, it means that the Emperor is incompetent in governing his family!
Being incompetent in managing a household indicates a lack of ability!
If Qu Li were to seize upon the dowry again and make a big fuss about it, attracting the attention of those annoying people in the Censorate, he would be completely disliked by the Emperor.
Fang knew Qu Yuxing's personality too well, so she agreed silently and went to the warehouse to personally look after the dowry.
Qu Yuxing was upset and punched the desk hard.
On the other side, another imperial physician came. After taking Qu Wenzhao's pulse, everyone shook their heads with regret.
This poison has already penetrated deep into the internal organs and cannot be cured at all!
Qu Li said, "Imperial Physician Tang once said that there was a Buddhist doctor who could revive the dead and turn flesh into bones. Have any of you imperial physicians ever heard of this?"
Imperial Physician Tang standing by had a puzzled look on his face.
When did he mention this to Princess Chen?
Doesn't he have a good memory?
Qu Li's expression remained normal as he glanced at Imperial Physician Tang indifferently.
Imperial Physician Tang was a shrewd man. He coughed lightly and said, "I've heard Master talk about this as well. However, the Medical Buddha is a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail. It is said that he has white eyebrows and beard, and is very rare to see."
Qu Liyou, who was planning to create a Medical Buddha account, was offended and almost choked to death on his saliva.
This face is quite handsome, why does it have white eyebrows and beard?
Imperial Physician Tang's eyebrows also jumped sharply, "Princess Chen?"
"fine!"
Several imperial doctors exchanged glances, shook their heads, and said they had never heard of it.
Qu Li looked worried: "I will look for him again. I hope Wen Zhao will be lucky enough to find him!"
As they were talking, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound...
