"Why are you looking at me like that?"
When Qu Li's gaze moved to his face, Zhuzi quickly lowered his head.
After a long silence, he slowly raised his head. His lips were a little swollen from biting them because of his confusion.
"Can my mother's hand really recover to be the same as before?"
Just now, when Qu Li was reattaching the embroiderer's severed finger, Zhuzi was supposed to go out with them.
But he was worried and even regarded Qu Li as an enemy. In the end, Qu Li left him in a makeshift operating room.
He saw with his own eyes how Qu Li reattached the severed finger, and was amazed.
Now that they saw that the embroiderer could still feel pain and Qu Li did not seem to be lying to them, they wanted to become a doctor with excellent medical skills like Qu Li.
"Yes! However, studying medicine is a very boring thing."
"I can!" Zhuzi straightened his chest without hesitation, his face full of determination: "I want to be someone like you."
"What kind of person am I? Didn't you think that your mother's hands became like this because of me?"
Zhuzi lowered the corners of his lips and said nothing.
The embroiderer apologized repeatedly and told Zhuzi that Qu Li was not to blame.
"I'll help you find a doctor first, you learn the basics first!"
"I just want to learn from you!" Zhuzi clenched his fists. "Are you still mad at me for pushing you and talking to you like that?"
"Am I that kind of petty person in your mind?"
Zhuzi's eyebrows were almost twisted into knots.
He couldn't tell now.
It was indeed because of her that his mother's fingers were cut off.
But it was also she who personally helped his mother reattach the severed finger.
"Nothing in this world is absolute! Black and white only exist in an ideal world."
"But……"
"If you want to become someone like me, you must first think about why you want to learn medicine."
Zhuzi listened very carefully, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Also, when building a house, if you don't lay a good foundation, the higher the house is built, the faster it will collapse!"
"I see!"
Qu Li nodded and gave him a handful of candy. "You are a teachable boy. This is a reward for you."
A blush appeared on Zhuzi's cheeks. He stuffed the candy into his sleeve, peeled one and handed it to the embroiderer.
The candy was so sweet that the embroiderer even felt that the sweetness reached her heart.
"Why don't you eat?" Qu Li asked.
"I want to leave it to my sister!" Zhuzi answered shyly.
Qu Li smiled and said, "It's not impossible to eat one. Good things are meant to be shared, and they taste better."
"oh."
Under her arrangement, Zhuzi went to a medical clinic in Xiling Imperial City as an apprentice.
Tomorrow is the wedding of the high priest and Qu Li.
The imperial city was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity.
However, there was no trace of joy on the person's face.
Feng Yi's face was gloomy: "Tomorrow I will arrange for someone else to pretend to be you..."
Before he could finish his words, she reached out and touched his lips.
"I've said it before, the high priest is a very cautious person. If he finds out it's a fake, he may not really follow the original plan."
Qu Li's waist suddenly tightened, and then her whole body pressed against Feng Yi's strong chest.
Feng Yi's eyes were filled with reluctance, restraint, and forbearance...
"Li'er, how can I bear to do this?"
Qu Li's heart tightened, and she raised her hand to gently cover his cheek.
"Tomorrow, everything will be over!"
Feng Yi held her hand, and his breathing gradually became disordered.
Before daybreak, there were sounds of footsteps outside.
Tianqing yawned, "Miss Qu, the nanny who helps you with your makeup should be here!"
Qu Li half-closed his eyes and said, "Let them in."
After several elderly maids entered the Orchid Garden, auspicious words like "a happy marriage for a hundred years" and "a son soon" never stopped coming.
Qu Li was already in a daze, and the noise now made his head hurt.
"Will you guys shut up?"
Several maids looked at each other and all felt that Qu Li had a bad temper, or to be more precise, was particularly difficult to mess with.
So they all kept quiet in tacit understanding.
Qu Li closed her eyes and let them help her dress up.
On the other side, the study.
The high priest glanced out the window, and a cold look flashed in his ink-black eyes.
"High Priest, everything is ready."
The high priest, dressed in red, stood with his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice, "Have you confirmed that Prince Chen and the Crown Prince of Southern Qi have arrived in Xiling?"
"It's confirmed! The Crown Prince of Southern Qi disguised himself and came to Xiling a long time ago."
The high priest suddenly remembered Qian Jiuzhao, who had come out of nowhere earlier. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said coldly, "I didn't expect he actually has some tricks up his sleeve!"
"The auspicious time has arrived, the high priest should prepare to go and welcome the bride!" the matchmaker reminded loudly.
The daughter of the Changsun family was getting married, and they were supposed to go to the Changsun Mansion to welcome the bride, but Qu Li didn't want to bring bad luck to the Changsun Mansion at this time.
In addition, they both knew that this was not a real wedding at all, so they asked the high priest to circle the imperial city and finally come to Lanyuan to welcome the bride.
The joy never stopped, and many people stood on both sides, waiting to pick up the wedding money and wedding fruits.
Feng Yi and Xiao Xian were both hidden in the crowd, looking coldly at the high priest who was sitting on a tall horse in a bright red dress.
Xiao Xian said to Guangping in a cold voice, "According to the original plan, create chaos, and I will go to the High Priest's Mansion to bring Li'er out!"
Guangping nodded.
Another wave of wedding money was thrown down, and suddenly there was a crowd.
Many people fell to the ground, screaming.
The high priest sat on his horse, his face covered with frost.
"Deal with it quickly."
Xiao Xian took advantage of the chaos and rushed to the High Priest's Mansion as quickly as possible.
It was very quiet in the Orchid Garden. Perhaps because he was about to meet Qu Li, he felt inexplicably timid.
A petite figure quickly flashed into the room. Xiao Xian's pupils narrowed, and he suppressed his messy thoughts and approached quietly.
Qu Li, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the medicine man who was close to him.
"I've told you clearly before, the high priest is a man of deep thoughts. I won't trade with you."
The medicine man looked sinister, "Do you really want to worship heaven and earth with him?"
"I have my own plans. As the saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much. I don't have anything to say to you."
"When you were trying on your wedding gown earlier, did you get pricked by something?"
Qu Li's painted eyebrows slowly twisted into a huge question mark.
Wasn’t it the high priest who tampered with the wedding gown that day?
"There is a kind of Gu called Twin Gu!"
"What's the meaning?"
Judging from the literal meaning, Qu Li felt that it should be something similar to the mother-child Gu.
But that day, the Gu King did not find anything abnormal on Tianqing's body, so she did not pay much attention to it.
"The Twin Gu, driven by resentment and costing one's soul, transforms into a pair of parasitic insects that live in the heart. Those infected by this insect rely on each other, and if one suffers, all suffer."
