Qu Li just gave Changle a meaningful smile in return.
Changle was a little excited.
My seventh cousin’s wife is so awesome!
She stared at Qu Li without blinking, making Qu Li's hair stand on end.
“Stop looking!”
Qu Li covered her face with her hands.
"Seventh cousin, but I don't quite understand. These women in the back house are all about love and fighting. The information they can give us is just like that."
Bai Ruowei couldn't help laughing, "Li'er must have a purpose for doing this, you'd better not ask!"
Changle snorted heavily, "Ruowei, you actually look down on me too!"
"I'm not looking down on you, but I don't really understand what Li'er wants to do!"
She had a feeling that Li'er seemed to have been reborn and become a different person.
Her thoughts and ideas were completely beyond the reach of women of that era. Even those shrewd princes could be manipulated by her.
"Three women make a drama! Never underestimate a woman's determination to become beautiful." Qu Li rubbed Changle's head, "Let's go to the restaurant and have something delicious."
When Changle, the little foodie, heard that there was something delicious to eat, his eyes suddenly lit up and all his messy thoughts were thrown out of his mind.
Qu Li suddenly thought of Goudan, and felt that Changle was really comparable to Goudan.
After returning to Qinghe Garden, Qu Li calculated the time and found that Xiao Xian should be back soon, so he called Zou Tao in.
"What are your instructions, Princess?"
"When will Xiao Xian come back?"
Zou Tao suddenly felt very excited.
The princess actually still cares about the prince.
"I don't know either. It seems the prince has accepted some temporary mission to help the emperor on a secret visit!"
Qu Li raised the corner of his mouth in mockery and flicked the candle wick.
I'm afraid it's to avoid King Zhongshan!
"Okay, I got it!"
Zou Tao left, looking back every few steps, and then sent a message to Guangping.
After receiving the secret letter, there was no joy on Xiao Xian's face.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Guangping asked cautiously.
"Zou Tao said that Li'er asked him today why the king hadn't returned yet."
Guangping was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, this shows that the princess cares about you!"
He really couldn't understand why the prince was unhappy.
Xiao Xian sneered self-deprecatingly, "But I think she's so eager for me to go back because she wants me to agree to a divorce quickly!"
The joy on Guangping's face suddenly disappeared, "Isn't it possible?"
It was such a short sentence, and he said it with quite no confidence.
"King Zhongshan is coming to the capital at this time, so there's no way he'll allow Rong Yehua to be his concubine!"
And Qu Li would never agree to share a husband with other women.
"Guangping, this king wants you to do something."
"Your Majesty, please give your orders."
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes, quickly went over his plan in his mind, and after making sure there was no problem at all, he whispered in someone's ear.
Guangping's expression was quite interesting. When Xiao Xian finished speaking, he looked at him with an indescribable expression.
"Any questions?"
Xiao Xian's eyes were quite gloomy.
Guangping was very sure that if he dared to object, he would definitely be sent to dig for black iron ore.
"Your Highness, I will do it right away."
In the end, he swallowed all the words of persuasion and accepted the task.
The next day, a large number of masked thieves suddenly appeared at the inn where Xiao Xian was staying.
It looked like they were robbing, but their actual target was Rong Yehua.
In order to protect Rong Yehua, Xiao Xian was stabbed, bleeding profusely and fell into a coma.
When the news reached the capital, a copy was also sent to the King of Zhongshan.
King Rongwei of Zhongshan was nearly eighty years old, with silver hair and deep wrinkles, but his cloudy eyes still radiated a sharp light like an eagle.
His deputy general Taji couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Prince Chen is not completely indifferent to the young lady."
Rong Wei snorted coldly: "He has eight hundred minds, who knows if he directed and acted all this himself!"
Taji frowned and said, "Prince Chen was stabbed in the spleen. He is seriously injured and has not woken up yet!"
"Go to the capital! I thank Prince Chen for saving me and will definitely facilitate this happy marriage!"
We were supposed to rest there for a night, but after a brief rest, we set off again.
When Emperor Kang learned that Xiao Xian was seriously injured and unconscious, he immediately summoned Qu Li into the palace.
Upon hearing this, Qu Li frowned.
"Qu Li, Ah Xian is seriously injured. You need to go over there right now."
Qu Li knelt down.
Emperor Kangdi looked displeased.
"You cared so much about Ah Xian before. Even if you really want to divorce, as a doctor, you should save a life, right?"
Qu Li was very sure that he said these words to her with great patience.
If she was smart and sensible, the most important thing she should do now is to obey the order and set out immediately to rescue Xiao Xian.
But she just felt that the assassination and serious injuries that led to coma were too coincidental.
"Your Majesty, Qu Li's resolve to divorce will never waver! If Qu Li rushes over now, Prince Chen will undoubtedly think that Qu Li still cares about him! Prince Zhongshan will come to the capital and will certainly seek an explanation that satisfies him. If Prince Chen misunderstands that Qu Li gave him hope and is unwilling to marry Princess Ye Hua, the situation will be dire!"
Emperor Kang's eyes were as deep as a cold pond.
"You keep saying that everything you do is for the benefit of the people, so why can't you be a concubine?"
The emperor's face had completely lost all warmth.
Qu Li's heart was in her throat. She pursed her lips, adjusted her breathing, and spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, Qu Li always clung to Prince Chen like a dog-skin plaster and has become a laughing stock in the capital! Although the matter of the savior has been thoroughly clarified and Bai Fengyao has received the punishment she deserved, those things can definitely not be wiped out!"
Kangdi's aura became even colder and sharper.
"If Qu Li lowers herself to become a concubine, how will the emperor expect her to live in the capital in the future?"
She was neither humble nor arrogant, and although she spoke words that showed contempt for the imperial power, she made Emperor Kang feel a little more sympathetic despite his anger.
"Prince Zhongshan has done a lot for Da Gan. Letting his beloved great-granddaughter marry the man he loves is actually more beneficial than harmful to the Emperor! After all, if Princess Ye Hua stays in the capital, there's no need to worry about being unable to check and balance Prince Zhongshan, right?"
Every word she said was so true that Kangdi couldn't find any fault with her.
"Qu Li, don't regret it!"
"Your Majesty, Qu Li will not regret it! After all, it is for the sake of stability and the people!"
Kangdi's eyes were fixed on Qu Li, whose back was straight and whose face showed no fear at all, but Qu Li was in an extremely bad mood.
He thought that Xiao Xian was his outstanding son, destined to become a great emperor in the future, and the last thing an emperor should have was love affairs.
This time, I will simply cut off all of Xiao Xian’s love!
Thinking that doing so would be too cruel to Xiao Xian, Emperor Kang was surrounded by a murderous and cold aura, and even the air became turbid and bloody.
