"Why do you suddenly say such a thing?" Qu Li looked aside.
"I am the eldest grandson of the Changsun family. From the moment I was born, great hopes were placed on me! My grandfather personally taught me, and I always thought I was intelligent, wise, and skilled in martial arts."
But after meeting Qu Li, he realized that he was not that powerful.
Qu Li only needed a few easy tricks to force the high priest to lose his composure.
He helped the Changsun family solve their urgent problems and returned to the court.
This caused a rift between the Lan family and the high priest.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Every profession has its own specialty!' Everyone's experience determines the breadth and width of their thinking! Actually, you're not bad at all."
"Don't comfort me, cousin! I'm just not good enough."
Qu Li shook his head helplessly and took out a piece of candy from the space.
"This is something girls like to eat. I don't want it." Changsun Lingrui refused bluntly.
"Eat while you listen to me." Qu Li was also very persistent.
In the end, Changsun Lingrui peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into his mouth.
The sweetness flows along the taste buds on the tip of the tongue and slowly flows into the heart, and it seems that even the depression in the heart is dissipated a little.
"I just said that everyone's knowledge determines the breadth and width of their thinking. You might think I'm comforting you, but that's not the case."
"Cousin, you were just a woman who never left the house before." Changsun Lingrui looked lonely.
"Haven't you been wondering if I was the reincarnation of a fairy?" Qu Li's eyes curved into crescents.
Changsun Lingrui: "..."
"So, how can a mortal like you compare to me, a fairy, in terms of vision?"
Changsun Lingrui was actually amused by her.
After laughing, he said seriously, "Cousin, how can I increase my knowledge?"
"Isn't there a saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles?"
"I understand."
After Qu Li's advice, Changsun Lingrui's depression completely dissipated.
"Okay, let's go back!"
"Cousin, the sugar is really sweet." Before parting, Changsun Lingrui said sincerely.
Qu Li smiled and grabbed another handful from the space: "Then eat more."
On the other side, after Caiyue found out everything, she returned to Changsun Mansion.
"How is it?" Changsun Lingyue asked impatiently.
"Miss, I inquired a little and it seems that the high priest took Miss Qu to the palace."
"Then what?"
When Changsun Lingyue heard that Qu Li was also involved, her face turned a little colder.
"I'm not very clear about the details." Caiyue stopped there.
Changsun Lingyue held the brush and continued painting.
However, she was distracted and a large drop of ink fell on the paper, so she simply threw the brush on the table.
"Miss, would you like some tea?" Caiyue asked in a low voice.
"Judging from grandfather's attitude, it's possible that my cousin is obstructing me and doesn't want me to enter the palace as queen." Changsun Lingyue gritted her teeth.
"Miss, are you overthinking it?"
"Grandfather has known about my feelings for the Emperor for a long time. If he felt something was wrong, he would have told him long ago! If it weren't for the Lan Yufeng incident, Grandfather might have mentioned this to the Emperor long ago."
"Actually, I think it's not a good thing for you to enter the palace as empress. After all, the emperor now listens to the high priest in everything!"
Changsun Lingyue clenched the teacup tightly, and the tips of her slender fingertips turned white.
She must prove that she is the best woman in the Changsun family!
Even if the palace is now a den of dragons and tigers, she still wants to break in.
"I'm going to the study to find my grandfather."
Caiyue felt somewhat uneasy.
The latest instruction she received was to disrupt the harmonious relationship within the Changsun family, not to let Changsun Lingyue enter the palace to become queen.
But she was just a maid with little influence, and it was not in her power to influence Changsun Lingyue's decision, so she could only follow her closely.
"Grandfather!" Changsun Lingyue stood outside the study.
"Ling Yue."
Hearing Changsun Lingrui's voice, a hint of hesitation flashed across Changsun Lingyue's eyes.
"Do you have something to do with Grandfather?"
"Well, something's up! Can you step aside for a moment, big brother?"
"good."
Changsun Lingrui turned around and said a few words to Changsun Wuji, then left the study.
When he passed by Caiyue, his sharp eyes made her heart beat like a drum, and even beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"Come with me, I want to ask you a few questions."
Caiyue was worried and followed him to a place not far away with trepidation.
In the study.
Changsun Wuji was still facing a game endgame, thinking about where to make the next move.
"Grandfather, I want to ask you a question."
"You ask."
"Did the high priest bring my cousin into the palace today?"
Changsun Wuji threw the chess piece into the chess box, looking at her with deep eyes that showed no emotion.
"Why do you ask?"
"So, my cousin did enter the palace, right?" Changsun Lingyue almost bit her teeth and became excited.
"Ling Yue, do you think I'm against you entering the palace as empress because of Qu Li?"
"Isn't it? Ever since my cousin came to Xiling, my grandfather has listened to her in everything."
"Ling Yue, I don't know what's wrong with you lately. You used to be so tolerant, generous, polite and considerate. Why have you become so sharp lately?"
"Grandfather, I have always been like this. You taught me this personally since I was a child!" Changsun Lingyue was so excited that she no longer had any trace of gentleness or courtesy on her face. Her eyes were bloodshot.
Changsun Wuji looked at her deeply, his cloudy eyes full of disappointment.
"Grandfather, I must enter the palace and become the empress!"
After saying this, Changsun Lingyue turned and left.
Behind him, Changsun Wuji felt the blood surging in his chest. With a "wow" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell directly to the ground.
Changsun Lingyue paused, pursed her lips, and ultimately did not go back.
Not far away, Changsun Lingrui was interrogating Caiyue. Caiyue's back was already soaked with cold sweat. When she saw Changsun Lingyue walk out of the study, she ran towards her hurriedly like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Miss, do you want to go back?"
"Yeah." Changsun Lingyue frowned, glanced at Changsun Lingrui, and left without saying a word.
Changsun Lingrui narrowed his eyes and kept his gaze fixed on Changsun Lingyue's back until he could no longer see her, then he withdrew his gaze.
He turned around and went back to the study. When he saw Changsun Wuji lying on the ground, his face suddenly changed.
"Grandfather! Someone come quickly!"
The entire Changsun Mansion was in chaos. Doctors were invited one after another, but Changsun Wuji's condition was really bad. The doctors could only shake their heads, indicating that they were powerless.
Changsun Lingrui left without saying a word. Because it was so chaotic, no one noticed that he had left.
