"Sister, I didn't mean to hurt you!"
If he was still the little puppy he just met on the street, Qu Li would naturally not have any doubts.
They stared at each other for a full minute before Qu Li spoke.
"I can help you, but I've never been exposed to this disease before, so I'm not sure when it will happen. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe it'll take ten days or half a month."
The little emperor's eyes visibly brightened.
At this moment, the deliberate maturity and seriousness on his face disappeared, as if he had become the little boy on the street just now.
"Sister, thank you for believing in me!"
Qu Li took out a syringe from the space and said, "I need to take your blood for testing."
"How do you draw blood?" The little emperor didn't show any fear on his face, and his eyes were curiously staring at the syringe in her hand.
"Stretch out your arms."
The little emperor stretched out his arm, Qu Li helped him roll up his sleeve, then took out alcohol, disinfected it, and drew blood.
"You go out first. I'll try to contact you when there's a result!"
"Sister, I will get you out as soon as possible." He put down his sleeves.
"Aren't you afraid that your actions this time will completely break off relations with the High Priest?"
"He supported me in ascending the throne out of helplessness. If the day comes when I am no longer useful, he will drop the knife in his hand without hesitation!"
Qu Li nodded slightly.
The high priest's ambition is evident from this.
"You really don't understand the Changsun clan?" Qu Li asked.
“I have some understanding!”
Just as he was about to tell her about the Changsun family, he heard footsteps outside.
The little emperor and Qu Li exchanged glances, and both of them tacitly agreed not to speak.
The high priest walked in, his stern gaze scanning the two men's faces. "The Emperor seems to be too willful and naughty lately!"
The young emperor met his deep eyes with unconvinced disbelief. "The High Priest always tells me to be a good emperor. I'm like a sapling growing vigorously. Someone died at the Fireworks Festival. As the ruler of Xiling, I must personally intervene!"
"Your Majesty has made considerable progress." The high priest stared at him intently, speaking slowly, each word sounding as if it was ground out from between his teeth.
"It's all thanks to the good teaching of the high priest." The little emperor praised slowly.
Qu Li was in a very good mood while eating the melon.
The little emperor is really not a cowardly little puppy. Look, he actually made the high priest so angry.
Noticing that she was in a good mood, the high priest narrowed his eyes dangerously and said in a gloomy tone, "So, how does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?"
"I will personally investigate! I heard that the man who died was a habitual offender who molested women in the street. Such a person deserves death! Even if it was really done by Miss Qu, it was Miss Qu who was ridding the people of a scourge!"
"But has the emperor overlooked one point? Even if his crimes are extremely serious, he can only be sentenced by the government?"
Just now, the high priest had kindly wanted to take Qu Li away from the Ministry of Justice prison, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
At this time, he also wanted to teach Qu Li a lesson.
Another thing is that the little emperor in front of him has become rebellious. He has to overcome his rebelliousness one by one before he will be obedient.
"The high priest is right! Whether the law should be ruthless or lenient is indeed a question worth pondering." The little emperor frowned and fell into deep thought.
"So, how does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?" The high priest released a tight low pressure from his body, and his voice couldn't help but rise.
"I want to ask the high priest a question."
"Your Majesty, please ask."
"Last year, Prime Minister Changsun's grandson accidentally killed someone. Do you remember what the high priest told me at that time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Li clearly felt that the air in the cell became thinner.
The high priest stared at the serious-looking little emperor and laughed.
"no the same."
"How is it different?" The little emperor seemed determined to get to the bottom of it and insisted on an answer.
"If the Emperor feels that she should stay in prison, then she should stay here! The Emperor is the Emperor of Xiling. You don't need to constantly ask me what to do."
The little emperor sneered in his heart.
Over the years, whenever he was in front of others, he would always say this, like a strict master.
But privately, he would always come to force him on the fifteenth of every month.
If he doesn't respond, he won't give him the pills and he will suffer endless pain.
Qu Li clicked her tongue twice, and when the high priest looked over and their eyes met, there was no embarrassment on her face. She even raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully at him.
The high priest understood her expression at a glance.
"Did the High Priest promise me to personally investigate this matter?"
"I personally think that Your Majesty should not waste time and energy on these trivial matters, but if Your Majesty insists on doing so, I will naturally support you unconditionally!" The high priest said sincerely.
Qu Li crossed his arms, and the curve of his mouth deepened.
The little emperor achieved his goal, "Thank you, High Priest! You have taught me a lot over the years."
Qu Li felt that if he laughed out loud at this moment, the high priest would definitely hate him to death, so he turned his face away.
"It's what I should do!"
The little emperor's eyes were filled with gratitude, "I will definitely give Miss Qu justice!"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to do everything himself!"
The high priest always felt that the little emperor's behavior was a little strange.
He really couldn't figure out where the problem was in a short time.
Qu Li said, "Your Majesty, you won't deliberately make things difficult for me just because the High Priest brought me to Xiling?"
The little emperor turned to look at her, "The High Priest is my mentor and even more so my friend, a friend of a friend. How could I deliberately trip him up?"
"That's good."
"If the High Priest has something to do, he doesn't need to stay here with me!"
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice is an agency that investigates cases. If all matters are handled by Your Majesty, wouldn't Your Majesty be exhausted?" The high priest still did not give up and tried to persuade him to change his mind.
"High Priest, I'm not usually tired. After all, I have you as my mentor and helpful friend."
Qu Li really couldn't hold it anymore.
Oscar definitely owes the little emperor a little golden man!
Look at the high priest’s face, which looks like he’s eaten shit!
She just felt comfortable all over.
The high priest glanced at Qu Li from the corner of his eye, and the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
"Since the emperor has made up his mind, I will not try to persuade him any further! If there is anything the emperor is unclear about, he can ask the Minister of Justice to remind him!"
"I understand, High Priest, don't worry."
Having said this, the high priest really had nothing more to say.
He looked deeply at the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost the middle of the month, please take care of yourself!"
The expression on the little emperor's face was a little stiff, his fingers under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the jade ring was hurting his palm.
"I thank the High Priest for his concern!"
The high priest walked away and passed by Zhao Yidao with a look as cold as a knife. He then called the Minister of Justice and asked him to stay by the side of the little emperor.
