What happened to Xiao Xian in Pingyang and a series of events after Emperor Kang's edict of repentance soon reached the hands of the high priest.
He raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of interest.
These days, he and Qu Li would chat from time to time.
"Not curious?"
Qu Li propped up his chin with one hand, looking quite lazy. "If you want me to know, I can find out anyway!"
"Whether it's Xiao Xian or Emperor Kang, both of them surprised me."
"Yeah?"
No matter what he said, Qu Li was not curious.
He thought it was rather uninteresting, so he simply handed her the new information that had been passed to him, and said, "Read it for yourself."
Qu Li raised his eyebrows.
It has to be said that Xiao Xian indeed had the mind of an emperor.
However, who in the capital city was colluding to sell illegal salt?
"How many days will it take to reach Xiling?"
Before the high priest could answer her question, another eagle cry reached his ears.
He stretched out his arm and the hawk landed on his shoulder.
After reading the new news, his expression changed drastically. "We're going to have to speed up from now on. We won't be stopping and starting like this anymore. Be prepared!"
Qu Li glanced at him indifferently, guessing that it must be Rong Wei who brought people. According to what they had agreed with her before, there must be a big chaos in Xiling, which made the high priest's expression become so ugly.
"What happened?" Qu Li asked.
The high priest stared at her with an unusually deep gaze, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see into her heart.
Although Qu Li appeared calm on the surface, in fact, deep down inside, there were already turbulent waves.
"The King of Zhongshan brought his men to cause unrest in Xiling. Was it you who instigated it?"
"Don't be like a vicious dog, eager to bite anyone you catch."
The high priest looked at the face that was very similar to Li Ran, and a faint curve appeared on his lips.
Qu Li turned his gaze away and looked out the window.
The carriage suddenly started running wildly, and she leaned forward due to inertia. Fortunately, she reached out to hold the small table and did not hit her head.
"Hold on tight!" The high priest looked back at her.
Next, the carriage sped away, and she was thrown around so hard that even though she reacted quickly enough, she still hit her head.
There was a red and swollen patch on her forehead, and she cursed in her heart.
"If you want to curse, just curse out loud. What's the point of cursing in your heart?"
Qu Li gritted his teeth and said, "You inhuman thing, is revenge so interesting?"
Even though Qu Li's words were unpleasant to the ear, the high priest actually found them very pleasant to the ear.
Qu Li:!!
Is this guy a fool?
She cursed so harshly, how could he still laugh?
Staring closely at his face, she was absolutely certain that the high priest's smile was genuine.
She was confused and said, "You are a lunatic!"
"If I had been a little crazier back then, you would be my daughter!"
Qu Li was stunned.
During this period of contact, Qu Li could feel that the high priest was a gloomy and ambitious person.
If he really imprisoned Li Ran, no matter how smart and resourceful Li Ran was, he might not be able to escape.
Therefore, it is not necessarily that he did not have the idea of imprisoning Li Ran back then. It is very likely that it was because he was not capable enough at the time, or that her biological father, whom she had never met, was more capable than him and rescued Li Ran.
But how could such a person force Li Ran to find Qu Yuxing to take over when she was pregnant?
Why didn’t her biological father get together with Li Ran?
What exactly happened back then?
Perhaps the high priest had gone crazy enough, or perhaps Qu Li had already adapted to the bumpy ride of the galloping horse, and she was not injured again afterwards.
The high priest threw a bottle of medicine at her and said, "Apply it. That bump on your forehead is really ugly."
Qu Li sneered: "Isn't it because you are narrow-minded?"
The high priest did not respond.
As he said, he rode at full speed along the way and hardly stopped to rest.
No matter how comfortable this ancient carriage was, Qu Li was still about to be shaken apart.
As they were about to enter Sunset Town, the first border town between Xiling and Dagan, the high priest said to her, "Rest here tonight. I'll have someone send you a set of Xiling clothes later. Get some rest."
Qu Li guessed that the high priest should have his own people here. He chose to stay here, probably to take this opportunity to find out the current situation in Xiling.
"good."
The carriage drove into a small courtyard.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual from the outside, but once she entered, she discovered that there was a formation set up in the courtyard.
If you don’t understand the Bagua formation, or don’t have anyone to guide you, you may be trapped in these formations.
The high priest saw that she was staring at some stones and bamboo forest, and guessed that she was so smart that she must have guessed that there was a formation set up in this courtyard.
"Follow closely."
Qu Li said "Oh" and followed.
"Not curious?"
"I've been curious about so many things along the way, and you've chosen to answer my questions, haven't you?"
These sarcastic words made the subordinates around the high priest change color.
Some people think that Qu Li is ungrateful and is acting like a madman because she is taking advantage of the high priest's slight difference in attitude towards her.
Some people think that Qu Li is really brave, as he even dares to confront the high priest.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of the high priest's mouth, leaving everyone stunned.
Qu Li didn't take it seriously, "Is that the sun that never sets?"
She had only seen this kind of flower that never sets in the sun in ancient medical books.
It is said that most flowers will close their buds after the sun sets, but this flower will bloom most brilliantly at sunset.
This kind of flower, whether it is the petals, fragrance, core, or even the juice, is all poisonous.
The high priest glanced over, and the feeling of looking at another person through her appeared again.
Qu Li felt a little unhappy.
Even though she was Li Ran's daughter, she still couldn't accept it when others stared at her with such eyes and tried to miss Li Ran through her.
"You know a lot." The high priest noticed her displeasure and looked away.
"Can I pick one?"
"The sun never sets is poisonous."
"I'll be more careful."
She planned to plant the Never-Setting Sun in the space, and then make more poisons and drugs.
"I'll give you two seeds." The high priest did not agree to let her pick the sun never sets.
Qu Li's eyes lit up, "You're not going to fool me, are you?"
Subordinates: Look, they’re starting to argue again!
The high priest really liked her bold and direct style, "No!"
"I've certainly seen the sun never set in books, but I've never seen a seed! It takes a long time for a seed to be planted, sprout, take root, and finally bloom! What if you lie to me? Wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth?"
"I don't want you to touch that flower because the juice is poisonous!"
"Don't I know?"
The high priest was actually amused by her. "Okay, it's rare that you like something. I'll give you the flowers and seeds too. Are you satisfied?"
