"If the emperor refuses to grant the marriage, you can go and talk to him yourself!" After the high priest said this, he loosened his grip on her wrist.
Qu Li ignored the burning sensation on her wrist and stared at him without blinking.
He looked relaxed, as if everything was under control.
"Can."
Her main purpose was ultimately to see what the high priest was going to do with this wedding.
When the little emperor heard her decision, his eyes widened.
"Sister Qu, the poison in my body has been completely eliminated. Neither you nor I need to be threatened by him anymore. Why are you..."
The little emperor couldn't understand.
The smile on Qu Li's face deepened. "The High Priest has long known that the sub-parasite in your body has been removed, but he remained silent. What do you think he is planning?"
"He already knows?"
No matter how mature the little emperor was, he was still stunned.
He thought that by asking the imperial physician to come that day, he would be able to paralyze the high priest, but unexpectedly, the clown turned out to be himself!
"He's a very thoughtful person, and he's very patient! It's better to just go along with him and see what he wants to do with this marriage."
"I'm afraid Sister Qu might be in danger."
This concern made Qu Li feel warm in his heart.
She smiled and rubbed his head, "I will protect myself, don't worry!"
In the end, the young emperor agreed to Qu Li's request and announced the imperial decree granting the marriage during the morning court session the next day.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the entire imperial city was in an uproar.
Those women who thought that the high priest was the moon in the sky all expressed regret, thinking that Qu Li, a divorced woman, was not worthy of such a glorious high priest.
At the Shadow Pavilion branch, Lao Mo also had a worried look on his face.
At this time, someone came over to report, and Lao Mo was stunned again.
The medicine man had been staying quietly in the small courtyard at the back for a while, and he almost forgot about this person.
It will take Feng Yi a few days to come to Xiling, and Qu Li's wedding to the high priest is so hasty, why would the medicine man get involved at this time?
With a stern face, he came to the small courtyard at the back.
The door of the medicine man's room was wide open, but Lao Mo could still clearly feel the sinister aura.
He paused slightly, raised his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and walked in.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
The medicine man slowly raised his head and said, "I want to see Qu Li."
"If Miss Qu has any instructions, she will come over herself. It's not convenient for me to go look for her."
"I have something very important to tell her. If you keep shirking responsibility, I'll go find her myself."
Lao Mo's eyebrows twitched violently.
Qu Li has recently moved back to the High Priest's Mansion. If the medicine man comes to his house like this, who knows what kind of trouble he will get into.
"What's going on? I can help you get the message across!"
His tone couldn't help but become gloomy, his eyes were cold and sharp, and he almost told her directly not to make trouble.
The medicine man's eyes also became sharp. "If you don't want to see her marry that scumbag, you'd better let her come to see me!"
Lao Mo stared at her critically for a long time, and before the air in the room became almost thinner, he finally agreed.
That night, Qu Li came to this courtyard.
"I heard you wanted to see me."
The medicine man said bluntly: "Based on my understanding of the high priest, what he loves most is himself and power!"
Qu Li strongly agrees with this point.
A man with great ambitions but good at forbearance, no woman can really enter his heart.
What he feels for Li Ran is not love, but more of an obsession that he cannot get!
As for her, it is even more nonsense!
"This wedding will definitely be very dangerous."
"I know."
"Since you knew that, why did you agree to it?"
Qu Li stared at her without blinking, trying to see something from her face.
"Can you tell me about your past?" Qu Li asked.
"What can I say?"
"There aren't many people in Xiling who know the art of witchcraft."
There was a long silence. When she thought the medicine man would not say anything, his hoarse voice slowly came into her ears.
"You should know that Xiling is divided into two factions."
"I know."
This is also the reason why she was curious about the medicine man's identity.
Considering the character of the high priest, how could he leave behind the medicine man when so many people who knew witchcraft were all brutally killed, and use the medicine man as bait, allowing Feng Yi to take the medicine man to the Shadow Pavilion?
If she hadn't talked to the medicine man, perhaps he had other plans.
"For hundreds of years, the Xiling Royal Family and the Priest House have been complementary to each other. If there are exceptionally talented people in the Royal Family, they can also learn the art of witchcraft."
Recalling the past, the medicine man seemed to be surrounded by a sad atmosphere, which made Qu Li feel very depressed.
She picked up the teapot, poured her a glass of water and pushed it over.
The medicine man held the teacup, and the warmth melted the ice wrapped around her heart.
"You should have guessed that I am actually a member of the royal family."
Qu Li did have this guess, but he was not sure.
"I fell in love with him at first sight. I still remember the day my master brought me to him. Even though he was so cruel to me, even though he was vicious and ruthless, every time I recall the first time I saw him, I have to say that I was truly amazed."
It was this kind of face that made her fall into the quagmire, and one wrong step led to another.
The medicine man smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and slowly raised his head.
"What I'm about to say may make you angry. I originally planned to keep it in my heart for the rest of my life, and bury it completely with my death. But since I took the initiative to ask to see you, naturally there should be no more concealment."
Qu Li clenched his fingers.
Her intuition has always been accurate, and she vaguely felt that what the medicine man was going to say might be related to her biological father.
Back then, why did Changsun Wuque run to the Black Wind Cliff and why did he jump down? These things seemed like a mystery, and she really wanted to figure it out.
"I thought that as a princess of my country, he would never reject me, but he told me flatly that he already had a woman he admired. At that moment, jealousy and resentment grew like weeds in my heart!
I am a princess of a country. I have been loved by my father, the emperor, my mother, and my brothers since I was a child. How could there be a woman who can compare to me? "
The medicine man laughed sadly.
Qu Li listened quietly with no expression on his face.
"In order to get him, I chased him like crazy, did a lot of wrong things, and became a sinner of the entire royal family!"
"So, that dispute between the royal family and the priest's house back then was caused by you?!"
Qu Li's breathing was a little heavy, and he really wanted to slap the infatuated medicine man in front of him.
The high priest is clearly taking advantage of her feelings. Is there something wrong with her brain?
