Looking at her calm and composed appearance, Xiao Xian's inexplicable restlessness intensified for no reason.
He stared at her with a stern expression, a cold, low-pressure atmosphere emanating from his body.
There was a look of inquiry in Qu Li's eyes.
"The Imperial Grandmother's birthday is coming up in a few days. Please put more thought into the birthday gift!"
"knew!"
The reason why the Queen Mother let Xiao Xian marry the original owner was simply to preserve the face of Xiao Xian, the first prince to be crowned king.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he might be blaming the original owner for tarnishing Xiao Xian's good reputation.
If you dislike someone, it's wrong to even take a breath.
So, although she agreed verbally, she didn't take it too seriously in her heart.
Xiao Xian lowered his lips and said, "Concubine Bai will be in Yaoyuan to reflect on her mistakes recently."
"You can rest assured about this. I won't take the initiative to provoke her!"
Her eyes were clear and her expression was calm and fearless.
Xiao Xian was so angry at her that he vomited blood again.
She seemed to have misinterpreted his meaning, thinking that he was protecting Bai Fengyao and didn't want her to go to Yaoyuan to make things difficult for her?
After drinking a cup of tea, Qu Li raised his eyes and met Xiao Xian's dark and unclear eyes.
"If Changle keeps on cursing, she might even curse our ancestors! I'm going to go find her!"
"Let's stop thinking about the academy!"
Qu Li curled his lips, his eyes sneering, "Are you asking the Yongshun Marquis to pay you back with money?"
"My father has always ruled the country with benevolence, righteousness, filial piety and brotherhood. Previously, it was Marquis Yongshun who allowed the Fang family to poison his legitimate son, so my father sided with you! Now, the giant stone in the eastern suburbs has appeared. Whether it is man-made or divine, the fate of the country is ultimately at stake!"
She was so smart that Xiao Xian felt she could understand what he meant.
"I have my own thoughts on this matter! My grandfather's name, the Li family's reputation for generations, must not be insulted by vulgar things like gold and silver!"
After losing his temper, Qu Li frowned and went straight to the side hall.
Seeing her coming, Guangping saluted with his fists clasped.
Qu Li didn't even look at him and went straight into the side hall.
Changle was pinching her waist and cursing Xiao Xian when she suddenly saw the door open. She grabbed the teacup and was about to throw it at him, but when she saw it was Qu Li, she quickly stopped herself.
However, she moved very quickly and the teacup still flew out of her hand and hit Qu Li.
"Seventh cousin!"
Qu Li's pupils contracted and he dodged.
“Snap—”
The teacup hit the door and shattered into pieces.
Seeing this, Guangping felt relieved.
"Seventh cousin, I didn't mean it. Are you okay?"
"Fortunately!" Qu Li gave her a reassuring look.
"Seventh cousin's face is so dark, what did he just say to you? Was it Bai Fengyao, or that huge rock in the eastern suburbs?"
The smile on Qu Li's lips deepened. This girl looked noisy, but she was actually very thoughtful and intelligent.
"Bai Fengyao has been confined to Yaoyuan recently! The emperor knows about the academy's affairs, so please suspend them for now!"
"This is clearly a conspiracy deliberately set up by that despicable villain, Yongshun Hou, who doesn't want to spend huge amounts of money to build a college. How could the emperor be so partial? I will go back now and let my mother enter the palace."
"Don't go!" Qu Li grabbed her arm, "I already have an idea in my mind!"
"Seventh cousin, the Queen Mother loves Mother very much. We can ask the Queen Mother for help with this matter!"
She thought that at first she also felt that Qu Li was very unbearable, but after getting to know her, she realized that she was such a good and wonderful person.
If the Empress Dowager helps Qu Li successfully build the academy, then Qu Li will remember her kindness and help the Empress Dowager cure her headache, right?
“No need.”
She didn't even plan to prepare the birthday gift with all her heart, so how could she possibly let the Grand Princess go to the palace to beg the Empress Dowager for her?
What's more, the emperor is determined to stop the construction of the academy. As the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager will naturally not argue with her son.
Changle was depressed.
The next morning, the apprentice of the clinic quietly went to Qu Wenzhao's yard.
"I greet Princess Chen!"
"Is there anything unusual about Caiju?"
"Miss Caiju didn't show any abnormalities the whole night, and no one contacted her."
Qu Li raised his eyebrows, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Her intuition has always been accurate, and Cai Ju's body, whether it was the wounds or the calloused fingers, all showed incongruity, and she would definitely not make a wrong judgment.
Unless they had already discussed it before Cai Ju carried out all this.
It’s as if their hidden organization always has plan A and plan B before every mission.
"Keep watching her, and don't let her injuries heal so quickly!"
"I know!"
Qu Li took out another ingot of silver from his purse and handed it to the apprentice.
"Princess Chen, I dare not accept it!"
"You deserve it, take it!"
After seeing off the apprentice, Qu Wenzhao returned to the corridor.
"Eldest sister! Does the emperor really not allow the establishment of academies?"
Qu Li glanced at Changle, who was sitting aside and touching his nose with a guilty look on his face.
Changle felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. She coughed lightly and said, "Seventh cousin, I'm just angry."
"This is the Emperor's intention. You are so blatant and open in your comments. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble with your words?"
Seeing Qu Li's gloomy face, which was not angry but more worried, she hurried forward, took Qu Li's arm, and acted coquettishly: "Seventh cousin, I know you are worried about me! But this is our own home, right? Besides, I haven't told anyone else!"
Qu Li was speechless and glared at her.
When Qu Wenzhao heard the words "his own home", he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, which was numb and tingling, and his heart was warmed as if it was soothed.
"Why are your ears so red?" Changle succeeded in acting coquettishly and finally made Qu Li smile. When her eyes swept across Qu Wenzhao's face, she pointed at his ears and raised her voice.
Qu Li was speechless, his eyes twitching.
"It's a bit hot!" Qu Wenzhao was even more embarrassed.
He had previously been unable to walk and was left in the apricot garden by his stepmother to be tortured, so he rarely saw women.
Later, he became blind and never saw the woman again.
The last time Qu Li brought Princess Changle here, her smile was as bright as the sun, illuminating his heart that had been hidden in the dark for years.
This time, I saw with my own eyes her holding her elder sister's arm and acting coquettishly. Her unreasonable look was not annoying at all, but rather particularly attractive.
Qu Li saw through it but didn't say anything.
Her younger brother has been tortured by Fang and Qu Yuxing for so many years. Changle, this little sun, should be able to warm him up!
"Are you hot?" Changle stared at Qu Li with her big round eyes, touched her face, and then touched her own. "Are you sick? Do you want your seventh cousin to take a look at you?"
Qu Li couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
If another woman said this, she would definitely be slapped in the face!
But these words came from Changle's mouth, full of concern!
