"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied!" Qu Li smiled with curved eyebrows.
The high priest's thoughts drifted away uncontrollably again.
As far as he could remember, the woman he loved most in his life only smiled at him like this when they first met.
Later, after knowing his thoughts, she was always cold and indifferent and deliberately kept her distance from him.
The sudden dull pain in his heart made him clench his fingers.
Qu Li didn't pay too much attention to him, but ran to the sunflowers, holding a dagger and preparing to dig the flowers.
"High Priest..."
Her subordinates were very dissatisfied to see her being so unruly.
The high priest raised his hand, and the tenderness between his brows disappeared in an instant.
"Don't worry about her. It doesn't matter if she digs it all up."
As long as she is happy.
Everyone was disappointed and didn't know what to say. They left a maid to look after Qu Li while they went to the study.
Rongwei is a brave and warlike man, and his strategy is no less than anyone else.
"High Priest, this King of Zhongshan is too arrogant. Not only did he have people invade the border, he also took them to the Xiling Imperial City."
The high priest narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone in the palace is my people. The emperor is young and can't cause any trouble."
What surprised him was that Rongwei could actually break into Xiling!
"High Priest, the Emperor is already thirteen years old now. I'm afraid he might be tempted by someone..."
"If I can get him to that position, I can definitely pull him down!"
If it weren't for the fact that he would be criticized if he took that position directly, he would never have supported the emperor's son to ascend the throne.
If the emperor behaves himself, he can let him live well, but if he insists on seeking death, he will definitely not show mercy.
After they discussed for a while, they heard the maid's report from outside.
She has taken Qu Li to her room, where she is currently busy planting flowers.
The high priest replied "I understand" and asked the maid to go to the kitchen to prepare some food for Qu Li.
After Qu Li entered the room, he entered the space, and with the cover of the space, he jumped onto the roof, taking in the entire terrain of the courtyard.
Seeing the maid carrying a tray into the room, she immediately came down.
"Miss Qu, this is the new snack made by the kitchen."
Qu Li didn't even raise his eyes, "Just put it there!"
"Let me help you with these flowers."
"Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? After all, the juice of the flower that never sets is poisonous."
"I've been doing this since I was a child. It's okay."
Qu Li said "Oh" and washed his hands: "Then you help me, I want to eat something."
"yes."
She took the snacks and asked the maid questions while secretly observing her techniques.
Seeing that she had deliberately injured the root of the flower while she was not paying attention, she pressed down the corners of her mouth.
This maid is quite interesting!
She continued to eat snacks calmly, then used the excuse of needing to rest to drive the maid out.
Qu Li sat cross-legged, wondering whether it was the maid's own idea to injure the flower root, or the high priest's secret order.
Fortunately, she has the cheating artifact of space, and the sun-bearing flowers are still growing well in the space.
In the evening, the high priest came to have dinner with her.
"These are your mother's favorite foods."
The original owner did not have a deep impression of Li Ran. To be precise, it seemed that he had no impression of him at all.
Qu Li thought that he had forgotten that he had saved Xiao Xian, and his eyes became deep as he looked at the high priest.
The high priest was a particularly sensitive person. He noticed her gaze and looked over at her.
"What's wrong?"
Qu Li put down his chopsticks, took a handkerchief beside him and wiped the corners of his mouth.
She said slowly, "There's something I don't understand."
"About your mother?"
“Not really.”
"Then tell me."
"Bai Fengyao pretended to be Xiao Xian's savior. Was this your doing?"
The high priest folded his arms but did not deny it.
She continued to ask, "So, it was you who caused me to lose that memory?"
"Try this!" The high priest picked out a piece of beef for her.
"You tried to escape, which means I was right!"
“You’re very smart!”
"Just barely."
Qu Li smiled, and while he was not paying attention, she used the action of picking vegetables to put the colorless and odorless poison in the space into the boiled chicken that he liked best.
The high priest didn't show any embarrassment at being exposed. He calmly ate the boiled chicken and said slowly, "Do you think that even if I didn't take the opportunity to erase your memory, you and Xiao Xian would still be together?"
He is a man and understands men's psychology very well.
Maybe it’s beauty that attracts men at first sight, but over time, what attracts men is always talent and knowledge.
He once said that Qu Li was a waste and he was unwilling to waste too much energy on a waste.
Similarly, even if he had not interfered back then, Xiao Xian would never have been too attached to a loser.
"At least I won't be treated like a piece of trash!" Qu Li's voice deepened a few degrees.
Those eyes filled with anger looked just like the ones he had when Li Ran saw through his thoughts.
In front of his eyes, Qu Li's face slowly overlapped with Li Ran's face in his memory.
Qu Li said sarcastically: "I just want to ask, did you also change my other memories at the same time?"
Even if the original owner was a loser and his mind was filled with the handsome Xiao Xian, it couldn't be that he had no impression of Li Ran at all, right?
"I don't know." The high priest felt a headache and raised his hand to press his brow. "If you are full, then let the maid go."
"I'm tired and need to have a good rest." She frowned and drove people away mercilessly.
The high priest just smiled and said, "Then you should have a good rest."
After Qu Li took a bath and changed his clothes, he lowered the curtain early.
Guessing that everyone should be asleep, she slowly opened her eyes and tiptoed to the window.
There are secret guards outside, but she has her own space, so she is not afraid.
He used his lightness skills all the way to the suburbs.
"Girl!" Rong Wei looked Qu Li up and down, "I was worried that you would be wronged."
Qu Li laughed, "I wasn't abducted by the high priest. I voluntarily followed the high priest to Xiling."
"Where's the food?" Rongwei asked.
"rest assured."
"The more confident you are, the more worried I become."
The high priest was also a man of means. Even if she had arranged everything in advance, she might not be able to easily avoid the high priest.
If the high priest knew that she had secretly obtained disaster relief food, she didn't know what she would face when she returned.
"King Zhongshan, have you prepared the granary I asked you to prepare?"
"The granaries are all empty." Rong Wei looked her up and down. "They all say you know immortal magic. Could you really be the reincarnation of an immortal?"
"Those who are good-looking and can perform magic are obviously fairies."
Rong Wei laughed heartily. "Girl, the more I look at you, the more I like you! Okay, I'll open my eyes and see how you conjure up food!"
