Bai Fengyao shuddered when she saw the man's sharp and narrow eyes like an eagle, and quickly let go of her hand.
"explain!"
"Xiao Xian's attitude towards Qu Li has been getting weirder recently! I sent someone to Shadow Lord to carry out a mission. Although I'm being careful enough, I'm still worried about what might happen!"
The man's body temperature suddenly dropped and his eyes became cold.
"Originally, Xiao Xian has always been very good to me, otherwise he wouldn't have married me as his principal wife. It's all because of Qu Li."
"Anything else?"
“No more.”
"Use your brain before you act!"
Men disdain.
He's just a fool and a lovelorn idiot, but he's actually worth Bai Fengyao's efforts to go on a mission under Lord Shadow.
Bai Fengyao pursed her lips tightly until the man left, then she fell to the ground as if all her strength had been drained away.
"Concubine Bai!"
Cui Liu came in and helped her up, "Are you okay?"
"Why is Qu Li's luck so bad?" Bai Fengyao clenched her hands unwillingly.
"Concubine Bai, there will be another chance."
"Don't act rashly lately! How did you do the last time I told you to do it?"
"They'll be here soon, but Concubine Bai, how can you be so sure that Qu Li will take the bait?"
"It's just a bet!"
The next morning, after leaving court, Xiao Xian went straight to the Shadow Pavilion.
The deputy leader of the Shadow Pavilion sat in the main seat, his brows cold and his eyes a little disdainful.
"Prince Chen posted a message yesterday. Could it be that he also wants to assign some tasks?"
Xiao Xian was filled with chills. "Yesterday, my princess was hunted by assassins from your Shadow Pavilion. I want to know who was responsible for this mission!"
The deputy leader frowned.
Their Shadow Pavilion has a rule that officials appointed by the imperial court should not be killed, loyal and good people should not be killed, and women and children should not be killed. How could anyone accept such a task?
"Rong will go check it out!"
Xiao Xian nodded.
The deputy pavilion master quickly returned with a list. "Ordinarily, Shadow Pavilion shouldn't disclose employer information, but because Princess Chen is involved, it goes against Shadow Pavilion's principles. So, this time, Shadow Pavilion can make an exception!"
Xiao Xian glanced at it indifferently and took the list.
“Why is the list soaked in water?”
The deputy pavilion master was also stunned. "The place where the Shadow Pavilion keeps the list is extremely dry. How could it possibly be soaked by water?"
"Who was the person who came to give the mission the other day? Can you find out?"
"I'm afraid..." The deputy leader looked apologetic.
Xiao Xian put the list down, stood up and left.
As soon as he left, the deputy leader went to the backyard.
In the rockery pavilion, deep in the lush shade of trees, sat a young man in a green robe.
His back was straight and his whole body had an extraordinary aura.
"Pavilion Master."
The man hummed softly, "Xiao Xian left?"
"Pavilion Master, I don't quite understand why the list has been leaked."
"Xiao Xian is completely blind. Wouldn't it be very boring if he broke up with Bai Fengyao so early?" The man poured a cup of tea and his eyes turned sharply: "Do you have any clues about the person who broke into the Shadow Pavilion last night?"
The deputy leader bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, leader."
The man raised his hand. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to Bai Fengyao. Follow this line and investigate carefully! From now on, you keep an eye on it. If there are any missions targeting Qu Li, stop them all."
"I will definitely keep it in mind!"
After Xiao Xian got on the carriage, his mood was in turmoil.
The destruction of this list was too much of a coincidence.
It only means that the other party is also afraid that once exposed, it will bring disaster to himself!
Could it be Marquis Yongshun?
Qu Li went to visit Qu Wenzhao as usual. This time, Xiao Xian not only asked Zou Tao to accompany him, but also arranged a secret guard.
She wasn't being pretentious, nor did she care much about it.
Worried that Qu Wenzhao would recover too quickly, firstly his body wouldn't be able to handle it, and secondly it would cause criticism, he had no choice but to mix spiritual spring water and detoxification pills into the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Tang.
Qu Li walked in and met the boy's smiling eyes.
"What good news?" Qu Li asked as he handed the snacks he bought to Qiao Zi.
Qu Wenzhao narrowed his eyes and looked at his elder sister, the smile in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.
"Eldest sister, I can see a vague shadow!"
His eldest sister is more beautiful than before!
"real?"
Qu Li sat down, pulled his wrist over, and carefully took his pulse.
"You've recovered well! Wen Zhao, what are your plans for the future?"
This chronic poison has been in the body for too long and has caused too much damage, so she can only help him regain his sight first. As for his legs, they can recover slowly.
"Eldest sister, I just want to protect you well!"
Qu Li was amused by him, and her thoughts turned back to her. She seemed to see the little kid who surrounded her all day long at the base.
"Now that your eyesight has healed, study hard and live up to your grandfather's expectations! After the academy is built, we still need you to carry it forward!"
Qu Wenzhao looked gloomy.
"What's wrong?"
He raised his eyes and said, "Eldest sister, can I?"
"Of course! Wen Zhao is so smart, he can definitely do it. I believe you!"
The words "I believe you" made the boy's eyes red.
"You're such a grown-up, and you're still crying!"
When Xiao Xian arrived here, he happened to hear the voices of the brother and sister talking.
This was Qu Li he had never seen before.
Gentle as water, voice like a nightingale singing.
Qiao Zi made a noise deliberately. Qu Li turned his head and patted the back of Qu Wenzhao's hand soothingly.
"Have you found out who is behind this?" Qu Li went straight to the point.
"The Shadow Pavilion's list has been tainted, but I will continue to investigate!"
