The queen looked at the bright red on her fingertips, hatred surging in her eyes.
She rushed forward and was about to hit back fiercely, but Feng Yi raised his foot and kicked her out.
Her shoulder hit the wall and she fell to the ground like a rag doll.
Feng Yi walked towards her slowly, his cold and indifferent eyes as if he was looking at an ant that could be easily crushed to death at any time.
The queen had been high and mighty all her life, and this was the first time she was stared at with such contempt and disdain, and she was filled with rage.
"I remember one time, Mother was worried I'd get cold, so she went to beg you for some golden charcoal. But you thought Mother was too noisy, so you allowed the senior maid beside you to slap Mother!"
There were quite a few concubines and palace maids who had been disciplined by the Queen over the years, and she had completely forgotten about this matter.
Feng Yi's voice was cold: "Do you know why I spared your life?"
Meeting his deep and dark eyes, the queen shuddered violently.
"Feng Yi, you bastard!"
Feng Yi raised his foot and stepped on her hand.
These hands, once well-maintained and with well-proportioned joints, have now harmed many people and been stained with a lot of blood.
“Ahhhh!!”
The cold palace was filled with the queen's screams.
Feng Yi listened to the creaking sounds of bones being broken, and there was no change in his usually cold face.
The queen fainted from the pain.
"Slap her a hundred times every day from now on. If she dies, I'll chop off your head!"
The person who is now in charge of guarding the cold palace was once someone close to the queen. Giving her such a task would be equivalent to killing the queen.
He walked out of the cold palace with an indifferent air, glanced at the dim sky, and decided to rush to Xiling.
…
Qu Li has been very annoyed recently.
It's not just because they can't figure out what ingredient is in the little emperor's pills, but also because they can't find out what's happening under the Black Wind Cliff.
The high priest walked in and saw that she was scowling, with the wrinkles between his brows deepening.
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
"I'm thinking that Chinese medicine is really broad and profound. Many medicinal herbs are just pictures in books, which makes no sense at all!"
The high priest narrowed his eyes, and his deep eyes hid emotions that she could not clearly see.
Qu Li didn't care and continued sighing.
"If you want to enter my Tibetan medicine pavilion, just tell me."
"Isn't that a no-entry place?"
"You are not an idler!"
Qu Li raised her eyes and saw deep affection in his eyes again.
She felt emotional.
The high priest's affection for Li Ran must be no less than that for Changsun Wuque, which is why he turned from love to hate after witnessing their affectionate relationship.
Putting herself in his shoes, she was inexplicably worried that Xiao Xian would become the second high priest.
"Then when can I go?"
"at any time."
"Like, right now?"
"good."
Qu Li came to the Tibetan medicine pavilion, his eyes sparkling like stars in the sky.
The last time she sneaked in, she didn't look carefully. This time, she planned to take a good look at the medicinal herbs he collected.
"What is this?"
The high priest stepped forward and explained her doubts one by one.
She took a little bit of each medicinal herb and said that she would study it carefully after returning to Lanyuan, but in fact she planned to put it into the space and use the spiritual spring water to transform it into something magical.
After all, even a broken sandalwood hairpin can be glued back together. So these dried medicinal herbs should be able to take root and sprout again after being treated with spiritual spring water, right?
The high priest didn't think much about it and let her take out a little of each.
Looking at her labeling each medicinal ingredient in detail, her serious profile and beautiful face, my mind couldn't help but drift away.
After returning to Lanyuan, Qu Li went straight into the space.
When Goudan and Hudan saw her coming, they excitedly rushed towards her.
The two were eating meat jerky made from spiritual spring water, as well as fruits and drinking spiritual spring water in the space. Their fur became shiny and their bodies became strong.
Especially Goudan, he has completely shed the appearance of a puppy and become a majestic snow wolf.
Being pounced upon by these two behemoths, Qu Li felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. He quickly put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Don't pounce on me!"
Two eyes blinked in grievance.
She sighed, walked over and touched their heads.
She circled out a piece of land, buried the herbs in the soil, and watered them with spiritual spring water one by one. After leaving, she reminded them with a serious face not to cause damage.
After leaving the space, Tianqing came in with a visiting card.
"Miss Qu, this is a visiting card from Miss Changsun Er."
Ever since Qu Li knew that he was a descendant of the Changsun family, he felt a little closer to them.
She handed the reply to Tianqing and said, "Tell the Second Miss that I will definitely be there on time."
Tianqing nodded and walked out.
After receiving the reply, Changsun Lingyue was extremely happy.
Caiyue was standing by, her face full of worry as she said, "Second Miss, aren't you worried that she might have ulterior motives?"
"Grandfather said, ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask! He also told me to get along well with her."
She knew that her grandfather must have a reason for not telling her.
She has always been very perceptive, and from the emotions revealed between the lines of her grandfather's words, she has already confirmed that she is her biological sister, but she doesn't know which branch of the family she is from.
Cai Yue sighed, "Isn't this because I'm worried about the Second Young Lady being harmed? After all, the Master was forced to resign by the High Priest! The Emperor is still being…"
"Cai Yue!" Chang Sun Lingyue's pretty face was filled with anger, and she shouted in a deep voice.
Caiyue shuddered violently, and suddenly realized that she had indeed said something she shouldn't have said.
If these words were to reach the ears of the high priest, not to mention how the high priest would make things difficult for the Changsun family, even the young master who was far away in exile would not know whether he would be able to return safely.
She knelt down, her eyes red, "I was wrong! I shouldn't have said these things!"
"Get up!"
Ever since the high priest supported the young emperor to ascend the throne, he has been ruthless. Many loyal ministers who used to support the emperor's power were either killed and exiled by him, or had to turn against him in order to protect their families.
Because her grandfather refused to submit to his tyranny, the high priest deliberately framed her brother and sent him to exile.
Her grandfather had to resign from his official position, but he still refused to give in and forced her to become a firework fairy.
Caiyue wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Second Miss, I am speaking up for you!"
Changsun Lingyue pulled her lips together miserably. "There's nothing to be upset about! Didn't my grandfather always teach me that if Heaven wants to give a man a great responsibility, it must first make him suffer in heart and toil in body?"
"This servant doesn't understand these profound principles. I just feel sorry for the Second Young Lady!"
"Okay, don't say these words again!"
"I've made note of this!"
The next day, Changsun Lingyue arrived at the agreed teahouse early.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw two people who disgusted her.
She wanted to avoid him, but unexpectedly, the other party had already noticed her and walked towards her with a malicious smile on his face.
