"Prince!" Zou Tao called in a low voice.
Xiao Xian retracted his gaze and said, "Send someone to follow secretly and make sure to find out where the person was taken."
Qu Li told him last time that there was someone with a face exactly like hers, and that person should be Bai Fengyao who faked her death and escaped. When he appeared in Jingzhao Prefecture today, the two of them had already agreed on everything with just one glance.
To this day, Xiao Xian still doesn't know whether he and Qu Li can have a future.
It was obvious that they had a tacit understanding, and it was obvious that Qu Li loved him without any limits.
But now it's a mess!
Whenever he thought of this, his heart felt like it was soaked in Coptis chinensis water, bitter and astringent.
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away."
"I will go in for a while."
Zou Tao and Xiao Xian had just been lying on the roof of the prison, listening to the conversation between Qu Li and Bai Fengyao, and his heart was already in turmoil.
No one expected that Concubine Bai, who was so beautiful and kind-hearted before, would be so crazy.
He even has contact with Xiling!
Thinking of the last time she tried to steal the city defense map from the study, Zou Tao clenched his fists.
The desire to crush Bai Fengyao to death became stronger and stronger.
Bai Fengyao in the prison was inexplicably irritable. She took deep breaths repeatedly, but the air in the prison was really bad.
She shook her head and felt her headache getting worse.
She heard footsteps and opened her eyes, and saw a tall and straight figure slowly walking towards her.
"Qu Li!"
Bai Fengyao pursed her lips and imitated Qu Li, looking at Xiao Xian who was standing outside the wooden railing.
"The coroner confirmed that Qu Wenqian was poisoned!"
"I've already said that if I wanted to kill Qu Wenqian, I could just not give him the pills and he would just wait to die. There's no need to do anything unnecessary."
"You have a point." Xiao Xian's eyes narrowed.
If he hadn't known that the person in front of him was Bai Fengyao, he felt that he would have recognized the wrong person.
This high priest is really powerful.
In such a short time, he was able to change Bai Fengyao's face, and even her voice was exactly the same as Qu Li's!
"Why are you looking at me like that? What's so dirty on my face?"
After all, Bai Fengyao was guilty as a thief. She touched her cheek guiltily, fearing that Xiao Xian would see something.
Xiao Xian shook his head: "This prince will quickly find out who disguised themselves as you and committed the crime in an attempt to frame you!"
Bai Fengyao was jealous inside.
He didn't give her any trust at all at the beginning!
"Xiao Xian."
The man who had already turned to leave turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Anything else?"
"If it weren't for Rong Yehua, I don't think we would be like this now!"
Looking at the face that looked exactly like Qu Li, Xiao Xian really hoped that all this was true.
The one who said these words to him was Qu Li.
He would tell her without hesitation that as long as she was still willing to be with him, he could give up Rong Yehua!
Unfortunately, the person in front of me is not Qu Li!
Even if it was really Qu Li, he would never say such words to him!
She is such a proud woman.
Xiao Xian lowered his eyes, a mocking arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"You said it too, it's if! Now that we're divorced, let's not drag it out any longer!"
Bai Fengyao suddenly raised the corners of her lips.
Just now, she was a little jealous that Qu Li was treated differently by Xiao Xian, but the result was just like this!
"Xiao Xian, what I said is true."
Meeting her extremely sincere eyes, Xiao Xian smiled softly.
The sarcastic laughter hurt Bai Fengyao's eardrums.
In the end, Xiao Xian said nothing and turned and left.
Bai Fengyao looked at his figure gradually walking away, feeling indescribably complicated.
Loss is like the thick fog rising from the sea, filling a heart bit by bit.
…
The carriage carrying Qu Li was about to leave the city gate.
When Qu Li heard Bai Fengyao's footsteps, she had already taken the pill that could cure all poisons. When Bai Fengyao sprinkled the sleeping pill on her, she was actually pretending to be unconscious to confuse Bai Fengyao.
She rubbed her cheeks that were burning from being pinched by Bai Fengyao, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Bai Fengyao, we haven't settled this score yet!
Just wait for me!
She hid in the space, took advantage of the shaking of the carriage, lifted the curtain and moved outside the carriage.
This is the direction to the suburbs!
There is a curfew in the capital at night, and the city gates have been closed at this time. Could it be that there are people from Xiling among those guarding the city gates?
The coachman was also a martial artist. He sensed something strange in the air and was filled with doubts.
He stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked inside.
Seeing that Qu Li was still lying inside, even his position and posture had not changed, he couldn't help rubbing his cheeks, suspecting that he had been too nervous recently, which was why he was so nervous.
He lowered the curtain and drove the carriage forward again.
The carriage successfully left the city gate, but it became increasingly bumpy.
Qu Li opened her eyes. In the night, her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.
There was a silver needle in her hand. She flicked the end of the needle lightly, and an evil arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
He flashed into the space and moved outside the carriage with great speed and ruthlessness.
The driver of the carriage felt a sharp pain in his neck. He looked aside and only saw a flash of silver before he fainted.
Horses are always smart, and even though she was running very fast just now, she still frightened the horse.
Seeing the horse raise its front hooves high and gallop forward, Qu Li immediately flashed out from the space and pulled the reins hard.
The horse stopped and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She woke the driver and asked softly, "What's your name?"
"Afeng!"
Afeng's eyes were dull and had no focus.
"Are you from Xiling?"
"Um."
"What's the high priest's name?"
She had just applied a new drug she had recently developed that could temporarily paralyze the nerves on the silver needle.
People who are drugged by this drug are like being hypnotized, and will answer truthfully whatever you ask them.
Vertical wrinkles appeared between Afeng's eyebrows, fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and even the blue veins on his temples were bulging.
"What do you want to do?"
Afeng's eyeballs were also moving rapidly.
Qu Li was shocked.
Similar symptoms may also occur when a hypnotized person's deepest secrets are touched upon but he is unwilling to speak them out.
A good hypnotist will choose to terminate the hypnosis when encountering such a situation. If he continues to ask questions forcibly, it will easily cause the hypnotized person to collapse or even become stupid.
She was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't ask what she wanted to ask.
At the same time, he became even more curious about the identity of the high priest.
He stabbed Afeng again, and after about a cup of tea, Afeng slowly woke up.
He rubbed his sore brows and tried to recall what had just happened, but he had no recollection of it.
He lifted the curtain and took a look, but seeing nothing unusual, he whipped the horse again and the carriage sped forward.
