"Princess Yehua is, after all, the great-granddaughter of the King of Zhongshan. It's only with the King of Zhongshan that the vassal states have been able to live in peace and security over the years."
Qu Li said this very calmly.
Kangdi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
In the past, Qu Li chased after Xiao Xian all day long, like a shadow.
Her love and admiration for Xiao Xian are evident to all.
But now, she is very calm.
This calmness surprised Emperor Kang. Perhaps the previous stories about how Qu Li loved Xiao Xian were just rumors.
If three people can become a tiger, let alone these romantic rumors!
He felt sad for Xiao Xian in his heart.
Qu Li ignored the complex and speculative look in Emperor Kang's eyes and continued, "Prince Zhongshan loves Princess Yehua very much, but he has been worried about the emperor's suspicion over the years, so he didn't mention the marriage to the emperor."
Kangdi looked at Qu Li with an even deeper gaze.
She is a woman in the inner chamber, but she sees through all these things!
"The Emperor has his heart set on Prince Chen, so why not let Prince Chen marry Princess Ye Hua?"
"Qu Li, do you know that women cannot participate in politics?"
Qu Li fearlessly met those eyes, which were as cold as a pond and difficult to guess, and said word by word, "The Emperor just promised Qu Li in person that he would forgive Qu Li!"
Emperor Kang was outmaneuvered. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he was happy in his heart.
With Qu Li for literature and Princess Ye Hua for martial arts, it can be regarded as a double insurance for Xiao Xian's future ascension to the throne.
"But Qu Li doesn't want to let herself down!"
The corners of Kangdi's slightly raised mouth instantly drooped, and the aura around him became sharp.
Before he could speak, he heard Qu Li whisper, "Princess Ye Hua is protected by the King of Zhongshan. For the sake of the vassal states, the Emperor will definitely grant a marriage between Prince Chen and Princess Ye Hua! However, given Princess Ye Hua's sensitive status, does the Emperor think she would be willing to be a concubine?"
Kangdi narrowed his eyes.
This is also the reason why he was furious when he learned about this.
The King of Zhongshan has a special status and has been protecting the vassal states for many years. It is impossible for him to take risks just for Rong Yehua.
But Prince Chen can only have one principal wife. His previous marriage to Bai Fengyao as a principal wife had caused a lot of uproar. The people from the Censorate had made many objections, but they were all suppressed by him.
If Bai Fengyao hadn't had ulterior motives, this matter wouldn't have passed so easily.
Now that Rong Yehua has come into the picture, Emperor Kang is really having a headache.
If Qu Li was sensible and willing to become a concubine, he would be happy to see it happen.
Qu Li looked at the emperor's eager and gratified eyes and smiled sarcastically in his heart.
She said so much, not to lower her status, but to divorce Xiao Xian!
Taking a deep breath, Qu Li knelt down.
Kangdi frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, Qu Li is willing to help Prince Chen and Princess Ye Hua for the sake of Da Gan's stability and to share Your Majesty's worries!"
The voice is not loud, but every word is powerful!
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
The emperor was furious and his voice was deafening, and everyone around him looked over there.
There was no trace of uneasiness on Qu Li's face.
Since she had made up her mind to mention this matter, she didn't think of taking it back easily.
"Your Majesty, since the King of Zhongshan was able to quell the rebellion of the vassal barbarians back then, he can surely stir up another rebellion!"
They were in the pavilion, with only a little sunlight shining in, hitting Qu Li's face, making his eyes look even brighter and more determined.
Kandi clenched his fingers.
If he agreed to Qu Li's request today, Xiao Xian would definitely hold a grudge against him.
Qu Li seemed to have guessed the emperor's thoughts and spoke again: "Your Majesty, Qu Li is not that important! Even if Prince Yu Chen did save my life, I had already worn out my gratitude when Prince Chen married Bai Fengyao as his principal wife!"
"But Ah Xian treats you sincerely! If he had known that you were his savior, he would never have married Bai Fengyao!"
Qu Li just smiled and said nothing.
Kangdi felt his head starting to hurt again.
Qu Li had helped him detoxify before, and he hadn't had a headache for a long time.
"You go back first. I will consider this matter carefully."
Qu Li knew that divorce was not that easy, but the issue of Rong Yehua was not that easy to resolve either.
In the end, she thought she would definitely get what she wanted.
She knew when to stop and didn't continue. After bowing, she stood up and left with her back straight.
Kangdi narrowed his eyes and watched her gradually disappear from his sight.
Eunuch Fu leaned forward and slowly approached: "Your Majesty, do you still want to go back?"
"Go to Laiyi Palace."
Eunuch Fu secretly glanced at the emperor with his jaw clenched, and followed carefully behind.
Emperor Kang went straight to the wooden house at the back and stayed there for a long time, looking at the portrait of Concubine Rong.
After Qu Li left the palace, he went to the clinic.
When the topic of divorce was mentioned today, she felt extremely uneasy.
Now she just wants to see more patients and calm herself down.
It was not until sunset that she returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Before the carriage even stopped, Awang said, "Princess, Qiaozi is waiting outside the mansion!"
Qu Li lifted the curtain and looked over.
Qiao Zi was pacing back and forth when he saw Qu Li's carriage and ran over quickly.
"Miss."
"What happened?"
Qiao Zi handed a letter to Qu Li.
There was a hole in the letter, which looked like it had been shot through the door with a dart.
She unfolded it and took a look. There was only one sentence.
"Miss, this afternoon I went to buy brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone for the young master. When I came back I saw this nailed to the door. I was afraid that the young master would worry, so I had no choice but to come to you."
Qu Li nodded and praised: "You did a good job. This matter really needs to be kept secret from Wen Zhao."
"But it's clearly stated above that only you can go. Otherwise, you'll be waiting to collect Little Li's body. Miss, how could Little Li have gotten involved with these vicious people?"
Qiao Zi was worried about Xiao Li Zi, and even more worried about Qu Li.
Even from the letter containing only a few words, he could sense that the situation was not optimistic.
"Why don't we report it to the police?" Awang also looked worried.
Qu Li pondered for a moment, "Don't tell anyone about this. I have a plan! Qiao Zi, in one stick of incense, go to Jingzhao Prefecture to find Master Mo Wenqing."
Qiao Zi nodded heavily.
Awang held the whip in his hand and said, "Princess, what can I do for you?"
"You don't have to do anything."
In a short time, she had come up with a solution.
As for who the other party was and why they kidnapped Leo, she knew it very well.
Since I failed to kill Xiao Zhao last time, this time, I might as well send Xiao Zhao to hell myself!
She exuded a cold and murderous aura, which was very terrifying.
But whether it was Qiaozi or Awang, they both thought that such a princess was so cool.
Qu Li went to Qinghe Garden and took Goudan with him.
The tiger eggs in the cage nearby stared at her eagerly and kept barking at her like a big cat.
