The little emperor nodded.
The eyes that were fixed upon her sparkled.
Sister Qu’s eyes really look like Ayina’s!
He had so many questions he wanted to ask her.
Qu Li explained his confusion directly: "Today's Ayi Na is me!"
The little emperor was not at all unhappy about being deceived, but his eyes were full of excitement.
He knew that in this world, no one's eyes could be more beautiful than Qu Li's.
"It seems like you should have guessed it a long time ago." She raised her eyebrows.
This little puppy is smarter than she expected!
"Well, I guessed it!"
He is like a little kid who wants praise and candy, with his eyes curved, and looks adorable.
"We previously investigated the Black Water Forest and discovered that the High Priest had moved all the poisonous insects there!"
She briefly told the little emperor about the fire in the Black Water Forest and the sudden appearance of the medicine man.
"Sister Qu, the high priest is the most vindictive. If you really can't find a way to remove the Zi Gu, don't rack your brains anymore! I will write an imperial decree in advance and hand over the throne..."
Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head. He rubbed his head with a sense of grievance, his eyes full of resentment.
"What? Do you think I'm bullying you by hitting you?"
Facing Qu Li with a serious face, the little emperor lowered the corners of his lips. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes had completely betrayed him.
"I'm not bullying you, but I want to remind you! You are the emperor, the hope of all the people of Xiling! Even if everything you are enduring now is far beyond what you can bear, you must persevere! Otherwise, those relatives and court officials who died at the hands of the high priest will have died in vain. Do you understand?"
The little emperor nodded solemnly.
"The throne is yours, you must hold it firmly in your hands. No matter who takes it, even if it is destroyed one day, you must never give it up."
"But, Sister Qu, didn't you just say that destroying it would be unfair to my relatives and court officials?"
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. Qu Li knew that he had been suppressed by the high priest for a long time and was often isolated and helpless. It was really difficult for him to figure things out, so he simply reached out and rubbed his hair.
The little emperor's heart beat faster and his gaze on her became increasingly hot.
"I will always be your sister! Ayi Na is my sister and..." She paused, "Ayi Na is quite good. At least she is more suitable to be the queen than Ling Yue."
The little emperor nodded without a word of rebuttal.
"Emotions can be cultivated. Ayi Na has been weak since birth and has been cultivating in seclusion in the mountains. She may not be as beautiful as Ling Yue, but she has a very calm temperament."
It was precisely because of this that she and Feng Yi chose Ayina.
"I believe my sister won't cheat me!"
Qu Li: “…”
"Sister Qu, I used to think Ling Yue was really good. She was like a ray of sunshine, shining brightly in my dark life. But..." The little emperor paused, "Just before the Fireworks Festival, every time I think of the first time I met her, my heart would beat uncontrollably faster."
Qu Li was like the best listener, listening quietly.
"I don't know when it changed, but Lingyue seems different from before."
"Tell me more specifically."
"Eyes."
The little emperor was mentally mature. When dealing with the high priest, he basically pretended to be silly and cute. He seemed to understand nothing, but in fact, he understood everything in his heart.
"You can really tell a person's state of mind through their eyes! That's why I'm helping you make this decision."
The little emperor took a deep breath and took out two pieces of candy from an exquisite jar. "This is what my sister gave me last time."
Qu Li curved her lips and said, "If you like it, I can give it to you."
"I believe my sister wouldn't lie to me. Ayi Na is definitely the one who suits me best."
The young emperor knew very well that the high priest and a group of court officials were putting pressure on him and trying to force him to establish a queen.
No matter whose daughter he chose, the result was always unsatisfactory.
Now that Qu Li is helping him make the choice, Aina will definitely be the most suitable person for him.
"As for Ling Yue..." The little emperor paused, letting the sweet taste spread between his lips and teeth. "Just think of it as the most beautiful memory of the past! Back then, I lived in darkness, thinking that it was a ray of light that could save me. But light is light, how could I possibly grasp it?"
He spoke the most truthful words, but his expression was inevitably lost.
Qu Li looked at him and gently patted the back of his hand.
"Heaven will bestow great responsibilities upon those who are capable of such undertakings! Believe me, having tasted the bitterest and most bitter things in life, you will surely enjoy peace and prosperity year after year!"
The little emperor wiped away the melancholy on his face and said, "Thank you, Sister Qu!"
Qu Li took some more of his blood and planned to go back and feed it to the little red bug to see if he could find anything.
"The High Priest has been having a rough time lately, and he'll definitely try every possible way to make things difficult for you. Be careful!"
"I will be careful! By the way, how is Prime Minister Changsun?"
"Not very good, but I'll try my best."
When she left, she left behind some candies and pills made with spiritual spring water.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard in the suburbs, I found that the atmosphere was not right.
She frowned, thinking that maybe Changsun Lingyue had lost the competition today and came here to make a scene.
"Cousin." Chang Sun Lingrui had obviously been waiting for her for a while, and whispered, "The high priest has been here for a while."
Qu Li's expression darkened slightly.
"I know, don't worry."
She walked in, met the high priest's cold dark eyes, and said calmly, "High priest, do you want to see if uncle is really seriously ill?"
His words were filled with disgust.
"After all, Prime Minister Changsun is a close official of Xiling and has made outstanding contributions to Xiling."
Qu Li glanced at him with a half-smile, almost saying to him, "How can you endure the disgust and say these high-sounding words in such a hypocritical manner?"
The high priest didn't care about her mocking look at all, but just stared into her eyes without blinking.
"Is there something on my face?"
"Your performance today was excellent."
Qu Li's expression was calm: "I'm not quite sure what the high priest said! I've been here taking care of uncle all day."
"If Changsun Lingyue knew that Ayi Na was you, I wonder how she would feel?"
"How kind do you think she is, a person who can lay hands on her own grandfather?"
What this means is that the people of the Changsun family have completely given up on Changsun Lingyue, and even if you use Changsun Lingyue, it won't cause any trouble.
The high priest just smiled in an ambiguous way and said, "Never underestimate anyone!"
After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving Qu Li alone, standing there in a daze, completely unable to figure out what the high priest would do next.
