Meeting the high priest's eyes that were dyed red with anger, and looking at the blue veins on his neck throbbing violently, Qu Li's heart skipped a beat.
"You just came back from the Black Water Forest, right?"
Qu Li looked at Feng Yi who was still calm, and his heart beat faster and faster.
"Why would the high priest have such an idea?" Feng Yi put his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.
"I should have thought of that earlier."
As soon as Qian Jiuzhao arrived at Dagan, he went straight to Qu Li's Shanshan Health Restaurant. However, at that time, Bai Fengyao replaced Qu Li.
He couldn't understand why he had someone secretly contact Qian Jiuzhao for such a long time, but Qian Jiuzhao didn't show any reaction, but instead came to Xiling at this time.
It turns out that he really has a connection with Qu Li!
Qu Li and Feng Yi exchanged glances.
Now that the two of them have joined forces, the high priest is no match for them.
But if something happened to the high priest, the little emperor would definitely not survive.
They didn't dare to gamble with the little emperor's safety!
"Yes, I have known Qian Jiuzhao for a long time! However, he is arrogant and looks down on women. I really hate him."
Things have come to this point. Qu Li doesn't want to implicate Feng Yi, so he can only say things against his will.
The high priest's gaze darted back and forth between the two men's faces, his eyes filled with sarcasm: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Qu Li did not speak.
Feng Yi was on full alert, waiting for the high priest to be distracted so that he could take Qu Li to a safe place.
"You two just went to the Black Water Forest and burned down the stone house where the Gu was kept, huh?"
"Yes, it was burned." Qu Li's eyes mocked: "Such disgusting insects are really creepy. I will help you destroy it!"
She spoke lightly, but it was like a thorn, irritating the nerves of the high priest, making his face even gloomier as he was on the verge of exploding.
Qu Li glared at him provocatively and continued to provoke: "Actually, it's quite interesting now. You use the Zi Gu to control the emperor's life, and I poisoned you. If you kill me, you will die miserably!"
The high priest took deep breaths repeatedly, trying hard to keep himself calm.
"Actually, the antidote you want is very simple. As long as you remove the poison from the emperor's body, I will give it to you." Qu Li smiled, and that smile alone made the high priest want to crush and destroy it!
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and Tianqing even felt cramps in his calves.
Just when everyone thought that the high priest would be furious and strangle Qu Li's neck, he burst into laughter.
"Indeed, now I am using Zi Gu to control the emperor, and you are using poison to control my life. We have reached a certain balance between us!"
Qu Li pressed the corners of his lips downwards.
"Let's burn those poisonous insects!" The high priest released his hand and glanced at Feng Yi. "Mr. Qian, no matter what, I still have to give the Shadow Pavilion a favor. I won't send you off tomorrow morning."
Feng Yi was about to speak when he received a look from Qu Li.
Helplessly, he could only nod slightly and said, "Thank you for your hospitality these past two days, High Priest."
The high priest clenched his hands, glanced at Qu Li with a half-smile, and left without saying a word.
Tianqing, who had been trying hard to remain calm, seemed to have all her strength drained away after he left, and fell to the ground.
Qu Li helped her up and looked into her eyes seriously.
"Tianqing, are you scared?"
Tianqing bit her lip, "Your servant..."
She didn't want to say anything against her will, she was terribly scared.
The high priest tonight was like a Shura climbing out of hell. She still felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.
"I'll help you get out of here, okay?"
"If I leave here, what will happen to Miss Qu?"
"You heard it too. Now that he has been poisoned by me, he dare not touch me casually. Qian Jiuzhao has some connections with the Shadow Pavilion. If you are afraid, I can send you there."
Tianqing frowned and didn't answer immediately.
Qu Li pinched her cheek and said, "Okay, have a good rest. When you have thought it through, tell me tomorrow."
"OK."
She sent Tianqing back to her room and still couldn't fall asleep.
Looking at the sky, my thoughts drift away.
After dawn, Feng Yi left the High Priest's Mansion. When Qu Li saw him off, he asked him to take Tian Qing away.
Feng Yi never stopped Qu Li from doing anything she wanted to do, and without asking any questions, he took Tian Qing away.
Tian Qing was reluctant to leave, but Qu Li smiled warmly at her, saying, "Be good and obedient. I don't need anyone to take care of me. If you stay here, you'll only hinder me."
After spending these few days together, Tianqing also realized that Qu Li was a person who valued friendship and loyalty.
If someone is kind to her, she will return the favor tenfold.
If someone really uses her to restrain Qu Li, she will become a burden to Qu Li.
"I'll be leaving now. Miss Qu, please take good care of yourself."
Qu Li patted her hands and said, "Go ahead."
Although she was not far from Feng Yi and could see him whenever she wanted, Qu Li still felt empty in her heart, as if a piece of her had been dug out.
In order to prevent herself from being immersed in this sad mood, she entered the space.
The insects sensed her approach and began to get restless again, making a hissing sound, which made Qu Li's hair stand on end.
She covered her ears and observed the poisonous insects carefully.
In the past, whenever she came in, the tiger eggs would always come close to her to get her favor, but now they are a little afraid of these insects and stay away from them.
Qu Li walked over, took out a few pieces of jerky and gave them to it, then touched its big furry head.
"Eat it obediently!"
She went back to where the poisonous insects were and opened a porcelain jar.
Inside was a small, red bug, looking lazy.
Qu Li took out a pill of poison and threw it in.
To make it easier to observe, she put the insects in a wide-mouthed bottle.
The little bug ate with gusto and moved its hind legs to express its happiness.
The corners of Qu Li's mouth twitched.
Soon, the poison was eaten up by the little bug.
After eating the poison, its belly became round, like a blood-sucking tick, and the red color on its body became even more vivid.
It looked at Qu Li through the glass, moving its hind legs constantly.
Qu Li frowned, "Your stomach is already so full, yet you still want more. Why are you so greedy?"
The little bug kicked its hind legs again.
Qu Li had no choice but to do some research on the insect, so he took another pill of poison and threw it into the wide-mouthed bottle.
The little bugs ate like crazy, as if they had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
A pill of poison, and it was gone quickly.
When it lay on the wide-mouthed bottle with its eyes wide open, waiting for Qu Li to feed it, Qu Li refused it directly.
This insect is a low-level creature and has no idea of hunger or fullness. What if it dies of overeating?
"That's all. Just do whatever you should do!" After Qu Li said that, he took another look at those disgusting bugs and left the space.
