"The Black Wind Cliff is indeed very steep." Qu Li supported his chin with one hand.
She did try to go down and investigate that day.
But the rope was too short, and it was foggy below, so the visibility was very poor.
Without sufficient preparation, she didn't dare to try it.
"However, I heard the sound of flowing water under the cliff."
"Have you ever been down there?"
Qu Li didn't want to hide it from him.
Sooner or later, perhaps she would tell him her secret.
"However, the climbing rope is too short and there is fog below, so I can only choose to return the same way."
Feng Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "In that case, after everything is settled, I will accompany you to find your father."
Qu Li's heart beat violently.
"You are the Crown Prince of Southern Qi!"
"Yes, but you are more important than the throne!"
"you……"
Before she could finish her words, Feng Yi grabbed her lips.
Looking at the man so close to her, Qu Li felt as if she was in the clouds.
It doesn't feel real, my whole body feels light and fluttery.
The kiss was not very deep, just a light touch before pulling away.
However, Qu Li could still clearly hear his own heartbeat like a drum.
Feng Yi held her cheek, "Everyone has an obsession! You want to find your father. If you can't find him, you've tried your best! If you can find him, then you can also fulfill one of your wishes!"
In short, he didn't want this matter to become an obsession that would haunt Qu Li for the rest of her life, leaving her with only regret every time she thought of it.
"But it's very dangerous."
He is already the crown prince of Southern Qi. What will happen to Southern Qi if something unexpected happens?
The wrinkles between Feng Yi's brows deepened, and he stared into her eyes without blinking.
"I said, I will accompany you, you are more important."
"I……"
"It's a deal! Once you're full, we'll go find someone!"
He bluntly interrupted her before she could say anything.
Her eyes felt a little sore, her vision gradually became blurred, and her heart felt warm.
"good."
She would make preparations in advance to ensure the safety of both of them and would not let him come into any harm.
They will return the same way they came down to the Black Wind Cliff.
He is so outstanding, has endured for so many years, and suffered so much, he deserves to become the much-anticipated Emperor of Southern Qi!
Feng Yi naturally did not miss her burning gaze. He felt sweet in his heart and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
"No more soup?"
"I can't drink anymore."
She didn't know if it was because she was too hungry or because of what he just said, but she was indeed full now.
Feng Yi picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all.
Qu Li:!!
"We can't waste food. I think you said wasting food is a crime?"
Qu Li couldn't help laughing: "Don't you mind that this is what I left over?"
Feng Yi suddenly leaned closer, his eyes shining in the candlelight, like shimmering obsidian, extremely dazzling.
"W-Why are you suddenly so close?"
Feng Yi raised the corner of his mouth: "We've already kissed each other, do you think I would still dislike a bowl of soup?"
The temperature of Qu Li's cheeks suddenly rose, and it felt like it could boil an egg.
His features became even gentler, and his doting was like a pool of water, enough to drown her.
There was a light tap on his forehead, and the stunned Qu Li suddenly came back to his senses.
The two walked out of the room hand in hand, and saw Xiao Xian still standing outside, feeling helpless.
Feng Yi tightened his grip on her hand, and his gaze fixed on Xiao Xian was filled with a hint of intimidation.
"Lord Chen, you seem to be really free."
Xiao Xian's gaze lingered on the two people's clasped hands for a moment. The veins on his forehead were tense, and even his breathing became heavy.
Feng Yi wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but he turned and left.
"I thought he would say something else." Feng Yi raised his eyebrows.
"There's no need to make things difficult for yourself."
"When he learned he wasn't Kangdi's biological child, he was very depressed. To boost his fighting spirit, I decided to have him come to Xiling. Furthermore, having one more person in Xiling would definitely help."
However, Qu Li's gaze towards him was clearly meaningful.
Feng Yi frowned and quickly went over what he had just said in his mind.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong, so why did Qu Li look at me like that?
"Li'er?"
Qu Li tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "You should have other ideas, right?"
"Um?"
"Tell me the truth."
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you." He pinched her cheek again lovingly, the blush still lingering.
"Then tell me quickly."
"I asked him to come over because I thought that after the matter is satisfactorily resolved, the three of us can sit down and carefully draft a non-aggression treaty."
Although Qu Li had just guessed this possibility, she was still somewhat surprised when she heard him say it with her own ears.
"Isn't this what you guessed?" Catching her micro-expression, Feng Yi's relaxed brows furrowed again.
"No." Qu Li shook his head: "I guessed it, I guessed it. I heard you say it with my own ears. I'm just happy that you didn't hide anything from me."
The smile on his lips deepened, and his ink-black eyes were filled with soft light.
"Okay, now let's go find someone."
Qu Li raised the corner of his mouth and nodded.
Feng Yi took her to the cave they had been to before.
Qu Li took out two medicine bottles and said, "This is a powder that can repel insects."
As she said, Feng Yi sprinkled the powder on his boots and clothes.
After doing this, the two came to the front of the cave.
Everywhere was charred by the fire. Under the silver moonlight, it looked desolate and completely lifeless.
"It is indeed impossible for this big rock to be moved here by one's own strength. There must be a mechanism." After observing it for a while, Qu Li expressed his guess very confidently.
"Xiao Xian and I searched for a long time, and then the poisonous ants crawled out from inside."
"Could it be that the poisonous ants came out because you touched something?"
"We're not sure at the moment! We might have touched something while searching for the mechanism."
Qu Li frowned and pondered, carefully observing the situation around him.
She suddenly remembered the rumor about the Gu King.
As long as there are poisonous insects around, the Gu King can sense it, even if there is a thick iron plate between them.
Thinking of this, she took out the wide-mouthed bottle.
It was such a chaotic day that she even forgot to feed the little red bugs.
At this time, it stared at Qu Li with a particularly aggrieved look, kicking its hind legs constantly, expressing its grievance and dissatisfaction through the wall of the wide-mouth bottle.
Qu Li felt very sorry and communicated with it through the bottle: "Sorry, I was so busy today that I forgot to feed you! Now do me a favor first!"
