"Cousin, the people outside are so desperate and chaotic now. I'll accompany you to the pharmacy to get some medicine." Chang Sun Chi moved to Qu Li's side, his tiger eyes emitting a pleading light, just like a large dog.
"At a time like this, we must not escalate the conflict, and we must also protect my cousin. To put it bluntly, we need both courage and strategy. I'd better go with my cousin!" Chang Sun Wu curled his lips and looked at Qu Li with a smile.
Changsun Chi and Changsun Li were not convinced. The two men who used to fight each other when they met finally united against the outside world. They grabbed Changsun Wu and prepared to go out and have a good "talk" with him, using their fists.
"My three cousins, there's no need to go to the pharmacy. Find me a room. I have medicine."
Qu Li spoke very seriously, and the three of them stared at each other and turned their heads to look over.
"Trouble."
"No trouble." A cousin blushed and said in a low voice: "Cousin, come with me!"
Qu Li nodded.
"Cousin, do you have any medicinal herbs on you?" Chang Sun Li frowned.
"I still remember the first time Tiantang girl came here. She clearly didn't bring anything, but her sleeves..." After being reminded, Chang Sun Wu also remembered a lot.
Chang Sun Chi glanced at the two of them and said, "What's the big deal? My cousin's sleeves are just too big!"
"No matter how old he is, have you ever seen anyone go out with silver bills, gold, and a rare book?" Chang Sun Li rolled his eyes, almost saying that Chang Sun Chi was a simple-minded, weak-limbed idiot.
Chang Sun Chi said angrily: "Who are you with?"
Chang Sun Li coughed awkwardly.
"Maybe my cousin is a fairy? Fairies can do magic!"
The words of a cousin suddenly rang out, like a stone thrown into calm water, causing ripples.
"My cousin is so beautiful and powerful, she might be a fairy!" Chang Sun Chi was the first to agree.
"It's good for us to know about this matter, but we must not tell anyone!" Chang Sun Wu looked at everyone with a serious expression.
Everyone nodded heavily.
Qu Li quickly prepared the medicine. The medicinal materials were all produced in the space, and the water used for decocting the medicine was also spiritual spring water, which had excellent medicinal effects.
After she came out of the space, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked something.
How could she explain how she could fit so many medicinal herbs in her tiny sleeves?
Slowly exhaling, she decided to wait a while before going out. If anyone asked, she would say that she had powders of various medicinal herbs on her body.
It’s not that Qu Li doesn’t trust her family, but there are many servants in Changsun Mansion, her three cousins, and her nephews who all like to flatter her. If she accidentally lets something slip and it gets out, she will be in trouble.
She opened the door and met so many pairs of eyes outside, her mind went blank for a moment.
"Why are you all waiting here?" She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly.
"I'm afraid you need help." Chang Sun Li smiled warmly.
"Nothing, I carry all sorts of medicinal powders with me, nothing I need help with! Let's go."
Qu Li smiled and took the lead to walk forward.
After using her ointment, the swelling in Changsun Wuji's knees disappeared significantly and his knees were no longer red.
"Cousin, tell me the truth, you are a fairy, right?" Changsun Chi looked at Qu Li eagerly.
Every time Qu Li met Chang Sun Chi's eyes, he always felt soft-hearted and helpless.
"Why did you hit me?" Before she could open her mouth, Changsun Chi questioned Changsun Wu in a vicious tone.
"Are you stupid?" Chang Sun Wu said with a look of disgust.
Qu Li had just thought of this possibility. She asked with a smile, "Maybe I really am a fairy from heaven, sent to the human world to experience tribulations!"
The people in the Changsun family did not take this joke as a joke.
Chang Sun Chi's eyes turned red with excitement: "Is my cousin really a fairy?"
Qu Li: “…”
My cousin, who is in his forties, can you be a little more steady?
Changsun Wu and Changsun Li took a step back in tacit understanding, as if they were afraid that if they got too close to him, they would become fools.
Qu Li looked at the three of them, and raised the corner of his mouth, "I'm just teasing you!"
Chang Sun Chi was startled, then smiled innocently: "Anyway, in my eyes, my cousin is a fairy!"
Qu Li told everyone his decision.
The whole room was unusually quiet.
Zhang Sun Wuji's face was solemn: "The poisonous insect in the emperor's body is a hidden danger!"
"I have a bold guess that the emperor might have been infected by the mother-child Gu!" Qu Li expressed his judgment.
"It's not impossible. If it's really a mother-child Gu, then if the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will definitely die as well! The Gu insects are highly poisonous. I think the emperor will also be in danger of his life!" Chang Sun Wu has always been calm. He thinks this matter should be considered carefully.
Qu Li frowned and nodded: "I plan to go to the palace."
"Basically everyone in the palace is the high priest's spies, and the high priest has suffered such a great loss of face today, he might teach the emperor a lesson," said Chang Sun Li.
"It's not impossible. The high priest is a vindictive person. However, precisely because of this, I should go to the palace." Qu Li gave everyone a soothing look.
"Then I'll go with you!"
Chang Sun Chi and Chang Sun Wu spoke almost at the same time.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then, when their eyes met, sparks flew.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Qu Li pressed his swollen eyebrows helplessly.
"Big cousin, third cousin, I'll go by myself!"
"How can this be done? You are a woman! The palace is heavily guarded." Chang Sun Wu objected.
"Yes, if you encounter any danger, there will be no one to support you!" Changsun Chi rarely stood on the same front with Changsun Wu again.
"It's precisely because I'm alone that if something does happen it won't cause a big mess! Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
No matter how confidently she spoke, no one agreed.
"Just trust me this once!" Qu Li sighed. "While I'm away at the palace, you two should discuss how to make things difficult for the High Priest after we return to the court! Also, I'm afraid Ling Si might cause some trouble, so I'll have Goudan follow him."
"Goudan?" Chang Sun Chi frowned. "Is he a human? Why can't I see him?"
"It's a little friend, cousin. You are the best at martial arts, so I'll leave the task of picking up Ling Si from the exile area to you, okay?"
Being stared at by Qu Li with such trusting eyes, Chang Sun Chi had no way to refuse.
"All right."
Chang Sun Wu felt a little uncomfortable, but he was always able to control his emotions and remained calm on the surface.
"Third cousin."
Suddenly hearing Qu Li calling him, he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"After the eldest cousin went into exile, the family needed the third and second cousins to discuss things together!"
In fact, the best thing would be to let Changsun Wu go to the place of exile, but when she thought about the high priest's cunning, she still felt that it would be better to let Changsun Chi go to pick him up.
