"You are disabled in both legs, not deaf, but your brain is broken!" Lan Yuqiao said in a bad tone.
"I'm asking you, who said that? Where's my mom? I want to find her!"
"Lan Yufeng!" Lan Yuqiao grabbed his collar, his eyes cold and piercing him like a sword: "If you hate someone, hate Qu Li!"
Since the Lan family has decided to give up Lan Yufeng, then he is a useless person.
Let him take action against Qu Li. Even if something really happens, it cannot be blamed on the mother and daughter.
Lan Yufeng's eyes were bloodshot. "Is it Qu Li? What's so good about her that she could actually bewitch the high priest?"
Lan Yuqiao also wanted to figure out what was so good about Qu Li that the high priest could indulge him like this.
The Lan family had clearly been following him all the way, but for Qu Li, he could repeatedly slap the Lan family in the face!
Thinking of this, her chest felt stuffy and even breathing became difficult.
"Tell me, even if I die, I will never kneel!"
"I'm afraid it's not up to you! When the time comes, Qu Li will compete with the high priest in poison testing in the square. Now that the high priest has spoken, you should know that there is absolutely no turning back! Otherwise, mother wouldn't have pressed your acupoints that day!"
Lan Yufeng completely ignored Lan Yuqiao's action of grabbing his collar, and his mind was full of how to kill Qu Li.
He has a hard time, so why should a bitch have an easy time?
Lan Yufeng was taken back to the Lan family overnight. Zhuona looked at him with eyes full of reluctance and guilt for abandoning him.
"Mom! I don't want to kneel! It's too embarrassing."
"Yufeng, I originally planned to find a substitute to kneel in the ancestral hall in your place, but I never thought that Qu Li would scheme against me!"
She considered herself to be as cunning as a fox, but this was the first time she had fallen for a young girl like Qu Li.
"Mom, I know you treat me well, I won't let Qu Li go!"
He gritted his teeth and said something vicious, his eyes grim like a beast waiting for its prey, poised to pounce and bite its throat.
Zhuona's eyes were red, "Yufeng..."
The fact that Lan Yufeng was kneeling in the square soon became known to everyone.
The families of those he harmed had been guarding the square. If it weren't for the Lan family army guarding it, they would have rushed forward in excitement, tearing him apart and beating him!
Qu Li sat in the carriage, staring at the drooping Lan Yufeng.
Lan Yufeng felt a scrutinizing gaze and looked up suddenly.
I saw nothing.
Passing through the layers of people, he saw the carriage emblazoned with the emblem of the High Priest's Palace.
Qu Li!
Hatred burned his eyes red, and his hands that were supporting the ground tightened little by little until they clenched into fists.
Qu Li asked the driver to change direction and go to the teahouse.
The servant led her to the private room on the second floor.
The door opened and the three Changsun Chi brothers surrounded her.
"Cousin, try it quickly. This is Xiling's specialty, the cheese cake."
"Cousin, these are steamed buns with milk residue, Ma Sen, eat them while they're hot!"
"Cousin..."
The three cousins wanted to give her the best things in the world, and their eyes were full of doting.
Qu Li felt a surge of heat in her heart. She looked at the three of them with a smile, "I'll eat slowly! You guys eat too!"
The three middle-aged cousins stared at their well-behaved cousin without blinking. They felt that their cousin was like a well-behaved little fairy, especially when she was eating, her cheeks puffed up like a cute squirrel.
"Why don't you eat?"
She really couldn't stand the burning gazes of her three cousins.
"Eat, we'll watch you eat." Chang Sun Chi was a silly boy, constantly passing snacks to Qu Li.
Chang Sun Li poured Qu Li a cup of tea: "Cousin, drink some tea, don't choke!"
Chang Sun Wu scoffed lightly, "Can you two restrain yourself a little? Can't you see that your cousin is a little uncomfortable?"
Qu Li deeply agreed with this.
She has no relatives. When she came here, her only relative was Qu Wenzhao.
The feeling of getting along with siblings is completely different from that of getting along with siblings.
"Cousin, the temperature of this cup of tea from Third Brother is just right. You can drink this cup!" Chang Sun Wu said with a smile, and calmly replaced the cup of tea that Chang Sun Li poured for her.
Changsun Li's face suddenly turned dark. If his gaze could become substance, he would definitely torture Changsun Wu to death.
"Second brother, do you think the third brother is such a thief?" Chang Sun Chi said fiercely, looking away.
There was a hint of a smile on Changsun Li's lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Third brother, how did you let the tea cool down?"
Chang Sun Wuxiu frowned slightly: "It's cool."
"Cousin, you should drink this cup of tea from my second brother! Although the temperature may not be right, it's definitely spit-free!"
"Second brother, what do you mean? To sow discord?!" Chang Sun Wu glared at him.
"To be honest, after all, scholars have always valued self-cultivation!" Chang Sunli said seriously, and then turned his gaze to Qu Li's face, "Cousin, how about I fan you for a bit?"
Qu Li smiled with his eyes curved as he watched his three cousins talking nonsense.
"By the way, why do you suddenly want to compete with the high priest?" Chang Sun Li returned to the topic.
"For the Emperor!"
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Chang Sun Chi asked.
Qu Li then told the story of how he met the little emperor who was out for fun at the Fireworks Festival, and how he suspected that the high priest had put a poisonous insect in his body, but that there was no cure.
The joints of Chang Sun Chi's hand holding the teacup were white and the veins were knotted.
“Damn it!”
"He said he wanted to take me in as his apprentice, but I didn't agree!" She took a bite of the steamed bun with curd sauce, and her eyes lit up.
"Then what's the competition about?"
Chang Sun Chi is a martial artist. Qu Li's series of schemes have caused heavy losses to the Lan family. As long as he finds a suitable opportunity in the future, he will be able to completely alienate the relationship between the Lan family and the high priest.
He really admired Qu Li's intelligence and talent.
Even Chang Sun Wu, who is always sinister and cunning, said that Qu Li's thoughts are not comparable to those of ordinary people.
"I suspect there are poisonous insects in the emperor's body. I once sneaked into the Tibetan medicine cabinet and saw those disgusting insects."
The thought of those bugs made her stomach churn.
In the past, on the battlefield, she was not afraid even of poisonous scorpions.
But that day, when she pushed open the door of the third room of the Tibetan medicine pavilion and saw the poisonous insects inside, she felt so disgusted that her mind went blank for a while.
Changsun Li and Changsun Wu were both careful people. They noticed her abnormality and tried to change the subject.
Qu Li took two deep breaths and said, "I checked the pills that the high priest gives to the emperor on the 15th of every month. There's a kind of medicinal ingredient in it that I've never seen before!"
"Cousin, the high priest is a very cautious person. I'm afraid he has already seen through your thoughts!" Changsun Lixiu frowned, his handsome face full of worry.
"Don't worry, second brother. I know what's going on!" Qu Li smiled softly. "I'll find out what that medicinal ingredient is as soon as possible and free the Emperor from the High Priest's control!"
