Qu Li supported his chin with one hand and thought for a long time, but still felt that there was something weird about this matter.
But she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment, so she simply stretched and stopped worrying about these messy things.
For now, the most important thing is to quickly get rid of the poison in the little emperor.
After that, he could focus on dealing with the high priest without any more constraints.
After making up his mind, Qu Li felt a lot more relaxed.
She packed up and prepared to go out.
But when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by someone.
Qu Li frowned, anger lingering in his eyes.
"Miss Qu, the High Priest said that the Imperial City is under martial law recently, so it would be best for you to stay in the High Priest's Mansion."
"Martial law?" Qu Li obviously didn't believe it.
When I came back last night, everything was normal.
Why was martial law suddenly imposed?
"yes."
The guard obviously didn't want to explain too much to Qu Li.
She didn't ask any further questions.
After all, the other party was deliberately concealing the truth. Even if she tried her best to talk her mouth off, she would not be able to tell her the reason why the imperial city was suddenly under martial law.
Seeing her turn around and walk back, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief.
They had also witnessed Qu Li's martial arts, and even Afeng and Magu hadn't gained any advantage at her hands.
If she insisted on leaving, they might not be able to stop her.
"Tianqing, go and find out what's going on in the mansion."
"OK."
"If you come back and don't hear my response, it's probably because I'm already asleep."
Thinking that Qu Li came back very late last night, Tianqing didn't doubt it. He nodded heavily and trotted away.
Qu Li entered the space and left the High Priest's Mansion as quickly as possible.
Everything was normal on the streets, there was no sign of martial law at all.
She muttered, "What on earth is this bastard planning?"
She planned to go to the Shadow Pavilion branch and ask Lao Mo to help check it out, and she happened to pass by the Nishang Pavilion.
As expected of a famous garment factory in Xiling, it is elegantly and grandly decorated, and is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In Nishang Pavilion, the waiter is busy.
"Where is Zhenniang? Why can't I see her?" asked a noble lady who had participated in the last talent competition.
The clerk replied respectfully, "Mrs. Zhenniang recently received an order from the High Priest's House and is busy in the back."
The lady feels a little regretful.
Zhenniang's needlework is the best.
Although she lost the talent show last time, she found a good marriage partner because of it.
Zhenniang is the most famous embroiderer, and she originally wanted to ask her to help embroider the wedding gown!
Qu Li frowned.
The high priest was mysterious, and she always felt it was strange to add clothes to her at this time.
After thinking for a while, she decided to go and take a look at the back.
There was a secluded courtyard behind the Nishang Pavilion. Zhenniang said to the five or six embroiderers, "This wedding gown is extremely important. There is no room for error. Please be careful."
The embroiderers all agreed.
Zhenniang also sat down and embroidered the phoenix on it with quick and delicate movements.
Wedding gown?
Qu Li's expression became even more horrified.
Did the high priest ask Zhenniang to prepare a wedding gown for her?
She suddenly laughed out loud, but the smile did not reach her eyes, which were as cold as the coldest days of winter.
When he arrived at the Shadow Pavilion branch, Lao Mo was so frightened by the coldness on her face that he swallowed his saliva.
"Miss Qu, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"
"The high priest may announce the marriage soon."
Lao Mo's eyebrows jumped sharply, "How is it possible?"
The high priest has been alone for decades. If he wanted to get married, he would have done so long ago.
"Why not?" Qu Li picked up the teacup and looked at him with a smile.
Lao Mo suddenly felt uneasy.
The Shadow Pavilion has always been able to collect all kinds of information at the first time, but it has not collected any news related to the high priest. If this is spread out, it will definitely be laughed at.
Lao Mo stammered, "Excuse me, Miss Qu, who is this person who is going to marry the high priest?"
The Shadow Pavilion really didn't get any news.
Qu Li put down his teacup and chuckled, "Did you know that I went back to the High Priest's Mansion last night? Did you know that Zhenniang from Nishang Pavilion went to the High Priest's Mansion this morning to have clothes taken for me?"
Lao Mo's mind was in a mess. He followed Qu Li's words and thought about it for a long time before he finally figured everything out.
"Could it be that the person the high priest wants to marry is... is..."
Old Mo, who is knowledgeable, calm and composed, is no longer calm.
The high priest, this bastard, actually dared to covet their future mistress. He must be tired of living.
"I'll contact the Master now."
"He has already set off for Xiling. If he knew the high priest's dark intentions, he would definitely be restless again."
Qu Li did not agree to pass the message to Feng Yi.
He traveled all the way from Southern Qi to Xiling, but in order not to make her worry, he returned to Dagan.
Even a strong man cannot endure such hardship.
She just couldn't understand what the high priest was thinking of when he suddenly planned to marry her.
If it was because of my obsession with Li Ran, I would never have waited until now.
Or does he want to do something through his wedding?
Qu Li now felt like he was in a thick fog. He could clearly see the light source and could walk out of the fog by following it.
But she was always held back by something, and no matter how hard she tried, she was still trapped here temporarily.
"I'll have someone find out right away."
"good."
Such a big thing happened, and she left suddenly last night, almost threatened by the high priest to leave. Qu Li was worried that Changsun Wuji and others would be worried, so she planned to go back and check on them later.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw Changsun Lingsi kneeling stubbornly in the yard. He must have been beaten, and blood was seeping out of his clothes.
She clicked her tongue twice.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion Changsun Lingyue gave to this kid to make him so devoted to her.
In the room, Changsun Wu was feeding medicine to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji coughed violently.
"Dad, my cousin has always been very clever and quirky. She will definitely not be dangerous."
Changsun Wuji looked painful.
It was the first time he felt so powerless.
He clearly said that he would take good care of Qu Li, but he made her suffer so much for no reason.
Chang Sun Wu sighed.
How could he not blame himself?
Although they are seven feet tall men, they always let their cousin rush to the front to protect them from danger.
But there is also a brainless and annoying son like Changsun Lingsi.
If he had no selfish motives yesterday and had informed him early, how could he have wasted time? When he hurried here, Qu Li had already been taken away by the high priest!
"Dad, it's all my fault for not teaching my son well. I'm going to teach that little bastard Ling Si a lesson!"
It would be better to let this troublesome thing stay in exile. If he comes back, he will only cause more trouble!
