Qu Li's expression was quite complicated.
The little emperor waited for her response for a long time and raised his head.
This time, not only his cheeks turned red, but even the tips of his ears were red as if dripping blood.
"Well, am I also quite bad?" he whispered.
"No, I'm surprised why the emperor trusts me so much."
"I just believe in you! Unconditionally."
Qu Li felt a slight warmth in his heart. "I also bet on myself to win. The emperor can return this money to the people and actively guide them to give up gambling!"
The little emperor nodded.
After hearing that the high priest also had a hand in the gambling house, the young emperor began to think about how to cut off the high priest's source of income.
The method Qu Li mentioned is very good.
If the addiction of those who like gambling is eradicated at the root, no one will go to the casino, and the casino will not make any money, and the high priest will lose his source of income.
"However, the Emperor has completely fallen out with the High Priest today. Pains like today may occur more frequently in the future."
The little emperor raised his hand and pressed it against his heart. "I will not flinch, nor will I be afraid of such pain!"
He was afraid that he would be a puppet in the hands of the high priest for the rest of his life. When his last bit of value was squeezed out, that would be the end of his life.
He didn't want his relatives to die in vain. The high priest had committed evil all his life and was destined to die miserably!
Qu Li was very satisfied with the little emperor's answer.
A fearless person can overcome everything with his spirit.
Because you are strong enough, you will develop a powerful aura. Over time, this aura will become armor and a sword that crushes the opponent and makes the opponent afraid!
"Secondly, when does the Emperor intend to issue an edict allowing my second cousin to enter the court? Once he does, what official position does he intend to give him?"
While in the square, the young emperor made up his mind to let Changsun Li come to the court to serve as prime minister.
He was about to speak when he had to return to the palace early because of heartache.
Since their relationship had already fallen out, he didn't want to follow the high priest's wishes and be controlled by him again.
"I will issue an order now!" After saying that, the little emperor looked at Zhao Yidao and asked him to help him grind ink.
Qu Li had already guessed the little emperor's decision.
He was planning to catch the high priest off guard. By the time the imperial edict was delivered to Changsun Mansion overnight, even if the high priest wanted to find someone to intercept it, it would be too late.
It is said that the emperor never jokes, let alone an imperial edict!
The fact that the high priest supported the young emperor to ascend the throne instead of directly seizing the throne shows that he did not want to become the criticized overlord of Xiling.
In addition, he was determined to unify the three kingdoms, and he was afraid that he would not even look down on the emperor of Xiling.
It was precisely because of this that Qu Li was certain that as long as the imperial edict reached the Changsun Mansion, even if the high priest was unhappy, he would have to keep it to himself.
After Zhao Yidao ground the ink, he helped him up. He wrote the imperial edict in a swift and fluent manner and asked Zhao Yidao to deliver it to Changsun Mansion overnight.
"Leave it to me! Now that the Emperor is free, it's time for me to go back!"
"Sister Qu, I want to thank you! Also, about the medicine..."
"I'm already researching the ingredients of the medicine, Your Majesty, rest assured." She then pulled out a box of pills from her sleeve and said, "Next time you have heart pain, you can try this!"
"Okay." The little emperor held the medicine box tightly. "Sister Qu, thank you!"
Qu Li curved her lips and said, "If you really want to thank me, then wait until you can truly stand up and look down on everything!"
The little emperor understood what she meant by "truly standing up". Instead of feeling nervous, he was full of courage because he had so many people supporting him.
After watching Qu Li leave, the little emperor looked at Zhao Yidao and said, "It is my great fortune to have met Sister Qu!"
Zhao Yidao nodded in agreement.
Qu Li used the space to leave the palace quietly.
When she returned to Changsun Mansion, she was shocked to find that the mansion was brightly lit with candles and everyone was gathered in Changsun Wuji's room.
Hearing the voice, Chang Sun Chi's brows, which were wrinkled into vertical lines, relaxed.
"My cousin is back!"
Qu Li pushed the door open and met those eyes full of concern, and his heart felt warm.
"Cousin, how are you?" Chang Sun Wu asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious! Everything that needed to be solved has been solved, and there's still this!"
When she took out the imperial edict from her sleeve, everyone knelt down at the same time.
Changsun Wuji also struggled to get out of bed and kneel down to receive the order, but was stopped by Qu Li.
"Although the emperor is young, he is not foolish. He is a rare wise ruler."
Changsun Li received the imperial edict, knelt on the ground respectfully, and shouted "Long live the emperor."
"Cousin, this time we have completely confronted the high priest! Do you really want to continue living in the high priest's mansion?" Chang Sun Wu was very worried.
The others also looked at her eagerly.
They had discussed it before she came back.
Once the emperor issues the decree, should Qu Li continue to live in the high priest's mansion?
Everyone agreed that Qu Li should live in Changsun Mansion!
Meeting those pairs of eyes, she choked up a little: "I want to cure the emperor's poison as soon as possible."
"But the high priest is a vindictive man. Moreover, he is so good at using poisonous insects. We are afraid that he might use some dirty tricks..."
Just thinking about it made them feel creepy, their hearts started beating fast, and they felt extremely uneasy.
Qu Li gave everyone a soothing look: "If the high priest wanted to use the Gu worm on me, he should have used it long ago!"
Unless the high priest is not human, he can use his own body to raise several sub-Gu.
The atmosphere became even heavier.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early! I'm a little tired too." Qu Li yawned.
Chang Sun Lingyue said to her in a gentle voice: "Cousin, come with me."
Qu Li nodded.
Changsun Chi wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Changsun Wuji.
"Forget it, she's a thoughtful girl. No matter what decision she makes, we should protect her and support her as much as possible!"
"Dad, my cousin stays in the wolf den every day, I'm afraid of her..."
Chang Sun Wu sneered, "Who knows, my cousin might be able to skin the wolf that is the High Priest!"
"You're just a fence-sitter!" Chang Sun Chi pouted in disgust.
"You will leave for the place of exile tomorrow, so go and rest quickly! You must bring Ling Si back safely." Changsun Wuji looked at the depressed Changsun Chi with a serious look.
Chang Sun Chi took a deep breath and said, "I know! I'm here to bring Ling Si back safely."
Qu Li followed Changsun Lingyue to her room and frowned.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Changsun Lingyue looked inquiringly.
"Nothing, you go back first."
She closed the door, and the doubts in her heart became heavier.
It must be because she had been separated from Feng Yi for too long that she started to have hallucinations.
He shook his head helplessly and prepared to change his clothes.
At this moment, my wrist was tightened, and the next second I was brought into a familiar embrace, followed by a passionate kiss on my forehead...
