Qu Wenzhao's ears became redder and redder, and his neck also turned red.
Qu Li was very convinced that if she allowed Changle to continue to say those shocking words, her innocent brother would definitely be bleeding from his face.
After helping Qu Wenzhao with acupuncture, Qu Li went with Changle to various famous shops to choose birthday gifts for the empress dowager.
Throughout the whole process, Qu Li would buy whatever Changle said. Soon, the maid following behind Changle had her hands full of things.
Changle was a little annoyed: "Oh, I bought so many things without realizing it!"
Qu Li smiled faintly.
The two returned to Qinghe Garden. Changle looked at the pile of gifts with a worried look on his face: "We can't send all these things to the Empress Dowager, right?"
"Which one do you think is better?"
"Everything is fine!" Changle puffed up his round face and let out a breath of foul air in annoyance.
"Then give them both. After all, no one says you can only give one birthday gift, right?"
Changle nodded vigorously: "Yes, what Seventh Cousin-in-law said is absolutely right!"
There were footsteps outside, and Guangping walked in and said respectfully, "Princess Changle, the Grand Princess has sent someone to pick you up!"
Changle frowned, "Why did mother suddenly want to take me back?"
She vaguely felt that Xiao Xian must have been behind this.
"Tell mother that I won't go back!" Changle hugged Qu Li angrily.
Qu Li thought that he still had some things to do, so he gave Guangping a wink, and Guangping bowed and retreated.
"Changle, go back first and see why the Grand Princess suddenly asked you to go back!"
"But, I said I would help my seventh cousin-in-law keep an eye on that bitch Bai Fengyao!"
Moreover, things are not going smoothly with Marquis Yongshun now, and my seventh cousin-in-law must need help.
"You go back first and come back after the birthday party!"
She will bring Caiju back as soon as possible.
By then, without Changle, we will be able to see what Caiju really wants to do.
Changle pouted, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Qu Li reached out and gently tapped the tip of her nose. "Well, it's not like we'll never see each other again! If you want to catch a thief, you have to give him a chance!"
Her gentle smile and her eyes gleaming with intelligence slowly soothed Changle's troubled heart.
"Alright! Since I can help my seventh cousin, I'll go back! As promised, I'll come back after the birthday party!"
Qu Li smiled and nodded, then personally escorted her to the carriage.
As night falls, everything is silent.
In Yaoyuan, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of Bai Fengyao.
Ever since she almost went to hell last time and experienced the excruciating pain in her abdomen, she has been extremely afraid of this crazy and bloodthirsty man in front of her.
He flinched and took a step forward.
"I've already done what you asked me to do, Bai Fengyao. This is your last chance! If you still can't find what I want, don't blame me for being rude!"
Bai Fengyao's eyes were wide open and she looked panicked, but she forced herself to squeeze out a sentence as soft as a mosquito.
"I remember!"
“Don’t let me down!”
After saying that, the man left again like a ghost.
Qu Li also took advantage of the cover of night and climbed over the wall in the backyard of Qinghe Garden and left.
Xiao Xian was about to follow when a short dart flew towards his face.
The moonlight reflected on the tip of the dart, revealing a bright blue glow.
His eyes flashed, and he dodged to the side, and the short dart pierced deeply into the courtyard wall beside him.
Xiao Xian took a deep breath and his eyes swept over the short dart on the courtyard wall.
What a strong internal energy!
Who is this person?
He was distracted for a moment, and when he wanted to chase Qu Li again, he couldn't find him anymore.
Xiao Xian was a little annoyed.
Qu Li didn't know what happened after she quietly left Prince Chen's Mansion. She found a secluded alley, hid in the space, and quickly disguised herself as a passerby.
According to what I had heard before, I went to Shadow Pavilion.
The Shadow Pavilion is similar to an ordinary tavern. She stood at the door, looking at the three-story tavern, and was stunned for a moment.
The astute waiter came out and asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like to come in for a drink?"
"I want to issue a mission."
The waiter looked her up and down, then smiled and welcomed her in.
"The Shadow Pavilion's missions are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Correspondingly, the bounty for each is different! Once someone accepts a mission, it's a fight to the death!"
Qu Li thought of the last assassination, confusion in his eyes.
The waiter asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, sir?"
"Then how can we terminate the mission?"
"Unless the target person is dead, or the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master intervene! However, even if it's a Class A mission, the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master won't easily intervene!"
That's strange!
Qu Li frowned.
Bai Fengyao was on a mission with Lord Shadow last time. Logically, the fight should have ended to the death, so how could she suddenly disappear?
She doesn't recognize the Pavilion Master or the Deputy Pavilion Master, so they shouldn't terminate the mission for her, right?
Or did Xiao Xian reach some kind of cooperation with the Shadow Pavilion for Bai Fengyao and thus terminated the mission?
For a moment, many possibilities flashed through her mind.
Seeing that her mind was wandering somewhere, the waiter whispered, "Sir?"
Qu Li came back to his senses: "I don't have much money, so I may only be able to take on tasks like Ding."
"But who are you going to kill?"
Qu Li was surprised again.
The waiter's tone was so calm, as if he was not killing a person, but just pulling out a radish.
Qu Li only said that it was related to the huge rock in the eastern suburbs, and the waiter's expression was a little unnatural.
"What is your relationship with Princess Chen?"
"friend!"
