"What does King Chen mean by this?"
"It sounds like the separation between King Chen and Qu Li seems to have some connection with the High Priest?"
The gossipy hearts of these court officials began to emerge again.
Xiao Xian's mouth was tense, his eyes as cold as a sword.
"Back then, you secretly sneaked into Dagan and deliberately made Qu Li forget that it was she who saved the young king, and even let Bai Fengyao impersonate me! High Priest, can you explain why you went to Dagan back then?"
The high priest lowered the corners of his lips.
He had sneaked into Dagan several times back then just to see Li Ran and to check whether Changsun Wuque was really dead.
Li Ran's attitude towards him was like a slap in the face.
He felt that the reason why Li Ran looked down on him was because he was just a priest of Xiling.
He doesn't have a good family background like Changsun Wuque.
If he became the most powerful person in Xiling, then Li Ran would naturally change his opinion of him.
It was also from that time that he began to plan to unify the Three Kingdoms.
Chang Sun Li sneered contemptuously: "Let me guess, the high priest went to Dagan at that time, probably with ulterior motives, right?"
The high priest glared at him coldly, "Prime Minister Zhangsun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"The high priest knows very well whether I am talking nonsense or not."
He didn't want to involve Li Ran and Changsun Wuque, but that didn't mean he didn't know about the entanglement between the three of them.
The high priest was a man who would never give up until he achieved his goal. The reason he went to such great lengths at that time was naturally for Li Ran.
"Lord Chen, please stop talking nonsense here."
"I'm not talking nonsense! Does the High Priest dare to say with all his heart that your wedding today has no other purpose?"
The high priest said nothing.
"You said that I hid Qu Li. If that's the case, I will return it to you intact! If I really had hidden Qu Li, I wouldn't be here!"
"Prince Chen was able to lead his troops to defeat Southern Qi when he was only in his teens. His military strategy is superior to everyone else!" The high priest's tone also became completely gloomy.
"This king is indeed well-versed in the art of war, but he does not have the ambition of the high priest!"
"Lord Chen, I don't want to waste time on this nonsense. In the end, just hand over my wife to me."
"Since the High Priest has said so, no one will believe me no matter what I say!" Xiao Xian laughed sarcastically. "Your Majesty Xiling, you have been held hostage by the High Priest for so many years. Can't you see his ambition?"
"King Chen, stop trying to sow discord!" the high priest shouted.
"Whether I'm trying to sow discord, the High Priest knows it all! When it comes to acting, I'm ashamed of myself! Since I dared to come to Xiling today, I'm not afraid of death! People like you, for your own selfish gain, actually disregard the common people of Dagan. Today, on behalf of all the people of Dagan, I will take your life!"
After saying that, Xiao Xian grasped the sword and attacked the high priest.
The high priest's guards quickly appeared and stood in front of him. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Qu Li's forehead was throbbing.
She had to leave the high priest's house temporarily, and then flew to the roof using lightness skills.
"Stop it!"
A clear voice reached everyone's ears, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Qu Li stood on the roof, the winter wind blew strongly on her body, her clothes fluttered, and her ink-black hair floated in the wind, making her look not only ethereal but also heroic.
Xiao Xian stared blankly for a moment.
The high priest also vaguely saw the young Li Ran.
"High Priest, I am not hidden by King Chen! If anything happens to King Chen here, Da Gan will never let it go!" Qu Li jumped down and slowly came to the high priest.
Her eyes were unusually cold, yet she did not hide her sarcasm at all as she stared at the high priest.
"High Priest, you think you have arranged everything and calculated everything, but have you ever heard a word?"
The high priest narrowed his eyes.
The so-called twin Gu means that if one is damaged, all will be damaged.
He was seriously injured, so Qu Li must also be in pain and weak.
But now, her face is rosy and she doesn't look sick at all. Could it be that the twin insects are still in the state of dormant eggs?
Qu Li caught the disbelief in his eyes, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "You must be very curious why I am infected with the Twin Gu, but there is nothing abnormal, right?"
The high priest had long known that Qu Li was very smart.
She could even remove the poison from the little emperor's uterus without anyone noticing.
However, the Twin Gu had always been tricky and overbearing. It was impossible for her to get rid of the Twin Gu in such a short time simply by relying on the Gu King!
Qu Li suppressed his smile: "All you rely on is the Twin Gu! You think that as long as you use me, you can force Ayi and King Chen to submit obediently! As long as you can get rid of them, you will be one step closer to your dream of unifying the three kingdoms!"
Almost with every word she said, the high priest's face became darker.
He had just been seriously injured, and after being ridiculed by Qu Li, his breathing became heavy, his chest ached violently, and blood kept flowing out of the wound.
No one knew what they were whispering about, they just felt the temperature around them was dropping continuously.
Some courtiers even rubbed their arms.
The veins on the high priest's forehead were bulging, and anger was boiling in his eyes.
"You're fine!"
He bit out four words from between his lips and teeth, each word as sharp as a knife or sword.
Qu Li smiled and brushed her hair, "I know I'm fine too!"
"you--"
The high priest had always felt that Qu Li’s temperament was very similar to Li Ran’s, and that he was also very smart.
Only now did I realize that she and Li Ran were completely different.
Qu Li looked at him with a smile, "You know I poisoned you before, and you tried many times but couldn't get rid of it. So, you planned this wedding and secretly put the Twin Gu on me, thinking that this way, I would definitely detoxify you!"
The high priest's smile deepened: "You are indeed smart."
Few people can guess his thoughts so thoroughly, and Qu Li is another person besides Li Ran!
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"Are you so lacking in humility?"
Qu Li smiled, her eyes shining like stars: "A person with real ability should have the courage to admit his or her own excellence! Being too modest only makes you look too hypocritical!"
The high priest was so angry at her words that he almost vomited blood.
"Since you already know that I can remove the child Gu from the emperor's body without anyone noticing, how can you guarantee that I can't avoid the twin Gu?"
The high priest was filled with doubts.
Could it be that Qu Li really avoided the Twin Gu?
