It was not until the high priest's carriage drove away that the onlookers reacted. Most of them had sad faces and were worried about how to live after their families were broken up.
Qu Li intends to give this opportunity to win the hearts of the people to the young emperor.
She was worried that these people would pester her, so she used her lightness skills and disappeared in a few leaps.
After entering the teahouse, Qu Li suddenly felt a little timid.
Just as she was wondering whether to knock on the door, the door of the private room suddenly opened.
Meeting Chang Sun Wu's slightly raised eyes, she pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly.
"Cousin, since you're here, why don't you come in?"
"Third cousin!"
Chang Sun Wu held her wrist, led her into the private room and closed the door.
Her cousins stared at her with sparkling eyes, their gazes as bright as if they were looking at their idol.
Qu Li swallowed nervously, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Chang Sun Chi poured her a cup of tea, "Cousin, come, drink some tea quickly!"
Qu Li took it and drank it in small sips.
Everyone looked at her, who was radiant in the square just now and looked so happy for the rare time, and couldn't help but want to pinch her porcelain-white cheeks.
"Cousin, are you okay?" Chang Sun Chi asked.
"It's nothing." She put down the teacup. "As long as his poison is cured, everything will be fine!"
"I mean, will he take the opportunity to plant a poisonous insect inside?"
Qu Li smiled and said, "Brother, the poison is so hot, how could the insect not be burned to death?"
"Hehe." Chang Sun Chi scratched his head shyly.
"Boss, you are just a stubborn person!" Chang Sun Li glared at him with disgust.
"I'm just too concerned."
Changsun Chi and Changsun Li would quarrel with each other whenever they met, and every time Changsun Chi was left speechless by Changsun Li's eloquent tongue.
In the end, he simply swung his iron fist and beat people if he couldn't win the argument.
Changsun Li curled his lips.
Qu Li opened his mouth and said, "Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin, I dragged the Changsun clan into this vortex without consulting you today. I... I'm sorry."
She spoke sincerely and in a low voice, with her head lowered, not daring to look at anyone.
"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Chang Sun Chi's eyes widened. "Do you think we don't hate the high priest for framing Ling Si and using Ling Si to force Dad to resign?"
Qu Li sighed: "Hate is one thing, but some things..."
She didn't say it out loud, but everyone in front of her understood.
Changsun Wuji is a far-sighted man. Since he chose to resign, it means that he has thought it through carefully.
They couldn't stand up to the High Priest!
"Cousin, a real man should stand tall and upright. He should do what he should do and what he shouldn't do. Even if you really give up your life, it will be a worthy death! You don't need to feel guilty." Chang Sun Wu understood her very well.
She raised her eyes and suddenly felt sore in her eyes.
"Dad will never say anything to you. After all, he just doesn't have enough power to fight against the high priest! Now I have you. You are so smart and you will definitely protect the Changsun family!" Changsun Li also comforted her.
A warm feeling surged in his heart, and Qu Li couldn't hold back and tears rolled down his eyes.
Chang Sun Chi was a rough man who didn't know how to say nice things. When he saw her tears, he immediately panicked.
A big hand like a palm-leaf fan came forward to wipe Qu Li's tears.
Changsun Li and Changsun Wu frowned and brushed his hands away in unison.
"What are you doing?!" Chang Sun Chi shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Your hands are covered with calluses, and my cousin's face is so delicate. What if they get scratched?" Chang Sun Wu was very serious and stared at him with disgust.
Chang Sun Chi realized it later, stared at his hands with some annoyance, and apologized to Qu Li.
Qu Li was amused by his silly look, "Big cousin, I'm fine! Third cousin is trying to scare you on purpose!"
"Really?" Chang Sun Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
Qu Li nodded.
"Third brother, I'm warning you, don't even think about sowing discord between me and my cousin! If you try to destroy the relationship between me and my cousin again, beware of my fists!"
After being warned, Chang Sun Wu just curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
Qu Li: "I want to go back and talk to my uncle in person."
"good."
Changsun Li and Changsun Wu spoke almost at the same time.
The two of them originally hoped that Qu Li could go back often, after all, that was her home.
In addition, Qu Li felt guilty today. She always felt that she had made the decision on her own without consulting Changsun Wuji and dragged the Changsun family into the whirlpool of the court again.
If she didn't explain to Changsun Wuji in person today, she would probably be unable to sleep or eat.
They quickly paid the bill and returned to Changsun Mansion.
Upon hearing that Qu Li had returned, Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go out to greet him.
"Where's my uncle?" Qu Li frowned.
The butler's eyes flickered.
Qu Li looked at the three brothers Chang Sunchi inquiringly, and Chang Sun Wu said, "Don't worry, cousin, it's just an old problem!"
"What happened?"
"When Dad was young, his legs were injured. Whenever it was cloudy or rainy, his knees would hurt terribly!"
Qu Li thought of the heavy rain last night. It was already autumn, and the weather was indeed quite cold.
"I'll go and take a look."
"good."
They went all the way to Changsun Wuji's room, where Changsun Lingyue was massaging Changsun Wuji's legs.
Her eyes were red, "Grandfather, will this be better?"
Seeing her slender fingers trembling from massaging his legs for a long time, Changsun Wuji felt very distressed.
"Lingyue, stop pinching! It doesn't hurt that much anymore!"
Zhang Sun Lingyue raised her red, misty eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandfather is lying again!"
If I really get better, how could I not go to the square?
It was obvious that he was very worried about his cousin!
"Just a hot compress will be fine. Stop pinching me! Or I can ask the housekeeper to help me!"
As I was talking, I heard footsteps getting closer.
Qu Li's eyes quickly swept across Changsun Lingyue's face, and he walked forward and said, "Uncle, let me take a look."
She didn't even give him a chance to refuse and simply rolled up his trouser legs.
Her knee was so swollen that she concluded it was rheumatism.
He quickly took out a silver needle and gave him a few injections with quick, accurate and steady movements.
These needles blocked some of his nerves, which is somewhat similar to the blocking injections in Western medicine.
However, the side effects of blocking injections are extremely serious, so she still prefers acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine.
"I don't seem to feel any pain anymore!" Zhang Sun Wuji's wrinkled brows relaxed and he tried to move his knees. "It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
"My cousin is so awesome." Chang Sun Chi started to flatter her again.
Qu Li wrote down the prescription, "This is a prescription for treating rheumatism. You can try a medicinal bath..."
After thinking about it, she shook her head again: "Forget it, I'll just prepare the medicine directly!"
