This was also the first time Qu Li encountered such a situation.
The Gu King usually feeds her poison, so if something really happens, she really doesn't know what to do.
The little emperor frowned and said, "Zhao Yidao, don't worry. I'm fine now, right?"
"How do you feel now?" Qu Li asked.
"Sister Qu, I really don't feel any discomfort. Don't worry or feel any burden. Maybe it's just my heart playing tricks on me?"
He originally wanted to comfort Qu Li and ease the tense atmosphere, but his words made Qu Li's eyes red involuntarily.
"Sister Qu, I'm fine, aren't I?"
No matter whether he is the King of Gu or the Son of Gu, the King of Gu is much better than the Son of Gu after all.
"Let me try again." Qu Li picked up the leaf again and started playing again.
The little red bug was about to go out, but it discovered several eggs laid by the insect.
It heard Qu Li calling it, but it couldn't give up the eggs, so it could only speed up its swallowing.
When the little bug finally crawled out, Qu Li saw that its belly had become round again.
"Zi Gu is this big?"
The little bug moved its hind legs, expressing something, but Qu Li couldn't understand it.
She took the little emperor's pulse again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. She left the spiritual spring water and prepared to ask the pharmacist what was going on.
After she left, Zhao Yidao kept asking the little emperor if he felt anything was wrong.
The young emperor said with a stern face, "Zhao Yidao, I know you're worried about me! Similarly, Sister Qu is someone who truly loves me and helps me. Don't be wary of her all the time."
"I just..."
"If Sister Qu really wanted to harm me, she wouldn't have to do this!"
"Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind."
Qu Li met the medicine man again and asked her to check the little bug.
The medicine man frowned and pondered for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the juvenile insect has laid eggs again."
Qu Li's delicate eyebrows slowly twisted into a huge question mark.
"Since ancient times, hermaphrodites have been rare. Could it be that Zi Gu is truly hermaphroditic and can lay its own eggs?"
She was completely stunned, thinking that all the poisonous insects cultivated by the old pervert, the high priest, were perverts.
"The high priest is a master at playing with Gu insects. How do you know that the Gu he cultivated isn't hermaphroditic?"
"So, if that's the case, is the mother Gu also hermaphrodite?"
"I'm not really sure about this! Just look at the Gu King's belly. If it was just a baby Gu, it definitely wouldn't be this big."
Qu Li was indeed shocked when he saw the little bug's big belly.
"Okay, I understand. Go to bed early."
"Now that the poison has been eliminated, are you going to deal with the high priest?" The medicine man couldn't help but ask when she stood up.
"Everything is going according to plan."
"I know you're still wary of me!" The medicine man smiled. "If you need me, I can help you."
"Like I said before, trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt! If I don't trust you and am on guard against you, I can choose not to tell you about the Gu King."
The medicine man remained silent.
“Actually, I don’t know what to do next!”
After playing chess with the high priest today, she suddenly realized something.
Plans really can’t keep up with the speed of change!
What's more, the high priest is a cunning person. If you want to deal with him, you have to hit him in one go and never give him any chance to breathe, otherwise he will definitely counterattack.
No matter what she plans to do, the premise is what the high priest plans to do!
After the little emperor's poison was removed, there was one less weak spot that he could use to check and balance him. She just had to counter his moves.
The medicine man didn't say anything else, he just stood up and sent her away.
…
That night, the high priest always felt uneasy.
Before the morning court session, he specifically asked about the little emperor's condition.
The little emperor summoned the imperial physician last night, and he seemed to have severe heart pain.
The worry that had been lingering in his heart slowly dissipated.
"Can the emperor attend the court early today?" he asked again.
"I'm afraid not. The Emperor seemed to be in great pain last night and only finally went to bed near dawn."
The high priest nodded and said, "Then let all the court officials leave first. We will adjourn the court today!"
The little emperor sat on the dragon couch and looked at Zhao Yidao with his eyes tilted.
"The high priest really came to inquire about my situation?"
Zhao Yidao: "Yes! Fortunately, the emperor summoned the imperial physician last night."
"I just want him to feel that I am still under his control, and then I will wait for the right opportunity, and when the chance comes, I will bite his throat hard!" The little emperor clenched his fists and bit every word he said very hard.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The little emperor glared at him and said, "Stop flattering me!"
Zhao Yidao said respectfully, "Your Majesty has indeed grown rapidly recently. I believe that you will become a rare wise ruler in the future."
No matter how young the little emperor is, he is determined to be a wise ruler and make Xiling and his people better.
After hearing what Zhao Yidao said, he felt extremely happy.
"This credit belongs to Sister Qu!"
Zhao Yidao's gaze deepened as he looked at him.
He always felt that the little emperor seemed to have fallen in love with Qu Li!
However, Qu Li obviously has someone in his heart.
Three days later, at the morning court, the high priest suddenly asked the young emperor to grant him a marriage.
The whole court was in an uproar, and Changsun Li, who knew about this in advance, turned pale.
Some court officials flattered him: "The high priest has been alone for so many years and has devoted himself to Xiling. I wonder which woman could have made the high priest fall in love with her!"
"The woman who can make the high priest want to marry her must not be an ordinary woman!"
…
The little emperor exchanged glances with Changsun Li who was standing below him, then looked at the high priest again.
"High Priest, who is the woman you wish to marry?"
The high priest said slowly: "It is Qu Li from the Changsun Mansion!"
"Isn't this Qu Li from Dagan?"
"Although Prime Minister Changsun hasn't announced it publicly, I'm certain Miss Qu is the daughter of the Changsun family! He's probably afraid of tarnishing Prime Minister Changsun's reputation!"
In order to protect Changsun Wuque and prevent the high priest from finding an excuse to attack Changsun Mansion, Qu Li did not agree to announce that she was Changsun Wuque's daughter.
Therefore, there are all kinds of speculations from the outside world.
"Anyway, Qu Li is indeed very powerful. Didn't she compete with the high priest in poison techniques before?"
"No wonder the high priest wanted to marry her! If this woman is Qu Li, they are truly a match made in heaven!"
These compliments sounded extremely harsh to Changsun Li and the little emperor.
Chang Sun Li had a cold face and said in a deep voice, "The high priest is almost old enough to be someone's father. Are you blind?"
