Qu Li frowned fiercely.
She was certain that the poison on the lancet could be quickly metabolized by the human body.
Even if a coroner were to perform an autopsy, it would be impossible for him to find out that the deceased died of poisoning.
What went wrong?
Tianqing opened his mouth wide, looking stunned and worried.
The first day she met Qu Li, she inexplicably trusted her.
She swore so confidently that she would never let anyone find out that he died of poisoning, and that would never happen.
This trust comes for no reason!
Hearing the coroner say this, she was afraid that someone would remember the mask Qu Li was wearing.
While Qu Li's thoughts were drifting away, she quickly took off their masks.
"I remember now. This man flirted with two girls and had his eyebrows shaved off by one of them. Could this be related to them?"
The more you fear something, the more likely it will come to you.
Tianqing's heart was beating extremely fast, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time.
She took Qu Li's hand and was about to leave when she heard a voice from behind.
“It seems to be them!”
The government guards immediately stepped forward to stop the two of them.
Tianqing was about to move the high priest out, but was stopped by Qu Li.
She was very sure that there was absolutely no problem with her poison, so the only uncertainty was Ah Qi.
Now thinking back carefully, it seems that Ah Qi had ulterior motives when he took the initiative to approach her from the very beginning.
And his guards have been keeping a close eye on his safety in secret.
Seeing them having a conflict with the pervert, they will most likely teach him a lesson.
"The innocent will be cleared!" Qu Li stopped Tianqing.
She also wanted to see who was deliberately targeting her, and what the other party's purpose was in doing so.
"Come here, take him away!" The captain of the guards gave an order, and Qu Li was taken away.
Tianqing hurriedly found the coachman and returned to the high priest's palace.
"Has the high priest not returned yet?"
She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
"It seems something happened in the palace." The housekeeper soothed her, "Don't worry, Miss Qu is only assisting with the investigation and has not said that she is the murderer."
In the high priest's mind, the disappearance of the little emperor is much more important than Qu Li.
The air pressure in the palace is extremely low.
The high priest's face was as gloomy as water, and the people around him didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being taken out on others.
"High Priest! The Emperor has returned."
Hearing this, the high priest stood up suddenly and asked, "Where did he go?"
"The Emperor is too playful to go out and look at the lanterns!"
The high priest narrowed his eyes, and his deep eyes were filled with a chilling coldness that could make people shudder.
"I'm afraid he's obsessed with Changsun Lingyue!"
"High Priest, the Emperor is young and willful after all." The chief eunuch whispered.
"Go and have a look."
When he entered the bedroom, he saw the little emperor's displeasure. "I just sneaked out to join in the fun! Didn't the high priest say before that many emperors would go on incognito visits to show sympathy for the people? Can't I go out? In this palace, who has the final say, I or the high priest?"
"Of course it's the Emperor!"
Hearing the high priest's voice, the little emperor turned to look at the man standing against the light.
Their eyes met, and he was obviously terrified, but he forced himself to meet those silent eyes like ink without giving in.
The high priest raised an eyebrow, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
very good!
This little emperor is now rebellious!
He really wanted to see how much rebelliousness he had.
"The Emperor is the master of this palace and the most respected person by the people of Xiling! This vast Xiling belongs to the Emperor, so naturally, the Emperor can go wherever he wants!"
The little emperor frowned and did not believe what he said.
"Next time Your Majesty wants to go somewhere, just tell me and I will naturally arrange everything for Your Majesty! If Your Majesty leaves the palace and something unexpected happens, I will be heartbroken!"
Will he feel heartbroken?!
The little emperor snorted sarcastically.
If he wasn't afraid that he would be condemned by the public if he ascended the throne, how could he have supported himself to ascend the throne?
"Your Majesty, did you have a good time today? Did you meet Changsun Lingyue?"
The little emperor's breathing became rapid, and the palms of his hands, clenched into fists under his sleeves, were covered in sweat.
He tried hard not to show his fear, staring at him intently, and said something against his will: "The Fireworks Festival was very lively, but I didn't see Miss Changsun!"
The high priest didn't care whether he had met Changsun Lingyue or not. He mentioned it at this time just to warn him and make him understand that if he wanted to fight him, he had to let go of those people he was thinking about.
Once he has concerns in his heart, he has already lost!
The little emperor's heart was beating very fast.
Given the high priest's thoughts, he absolutely did not believe that he did not like Changsun Lingyue.
In order to protect Changsun's family, he could only act as if he didn't care.
When the two men, one big and one small, were confronting each other, someone came in and whispered a few words to the high priest, and the high priest's face became more and more serious.
He gave the little emperor a deep look and said, "Since Your Majesty has returned safely, I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, he swept his eyes over the faces of all the palace servants and said in a stern voice, "Take good care of the emperor. If something like this happens again, you will be killed without mercy!"
Only after the high priest left did the little emperor regain his breath.
He suddenly discovered that his back was already soaked with sweat.
The guards stepped forward and supported him.
"Your Majesty, Miss Qu has been taken to the prison."
"I understand."
When the high priest arrived at the Ministry of Justice, the assistant minister came forward respectfully to greet him.
