Feng Yi curled her lips.
The high priest was easily eliminated, and the civil strife in Xiling was resolved so quickly, all thanks to Qu Li.
He thought that the little emperor was young and might not come to thank him so soon, but he didn't expect that he would be so smart!
Qu Li packed up and went to the front hall with everyone from the Changsun clan.
It was not Zhao Yidao who was responsible for conveying the imperial edict.
I thought it was an imperial edict of reward, but unexpectedly, it was an imperial edict summoning Qu Li and everyone in the Changsun family to enter the palace.
The corners of Feng Yi's mouth that were raised suddenly drooped, and his eyes were no longer as gentle as before.
After all, this little emperor is still young and we cannot have high hopes for him.
I don't know whether we can successfully sign a non-aggression treaty among the three countries with him.
Qu Li caught a glimpse of him frowning from the corner of his eye, clearly unhappy. He said helplessly, "The emperor has summoned people from the Changsun family this time. Don't worry, I will mention it to the emperor and see what he thinks!
After all, war only wastes money and lives, and no one wants war to break out."
Feng Yi felt helpless.
He just felt that the young emperor had wronged Qu Li, not because he didn't summon him to the palace.
Seeing that his face was still gloomy and full of gloom, Qu Li felt helpless. She stood on tiptoe and smoothed the wrinkles between his brows.
"Smile, don't have a stern face, it makes you look ugly and old!"
Feng Yi: “…”
She reached out and gently scratched his chin twice. Feng Yi's eyes became deeper and even a little dangerous, like a hunter ready to pounce on his prey at any time.
Qu Li's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned, "If you keep doing this, I'll be really angry!"
She doesn't like jealous, stingy men.
Even though they had been through so much together, she wouldn't tolerate him being a jealous person.
Feng Yi held her hand and said sincerely, "Based on everything you've done, I thought he would reward you with a large sum of gold and silver and give you some kind of title."
Is this why you're sulking?
Qu Li smiled and said, "I don't care about that either."
She had moved so much silver from Xiao Zhao's casino last time, and later she made a bet with Qian Jiuzhao and won a lot.
The restaurants under her name, including Yueji, make a fortune every day, so she has no shortage of money.
As for the title, she doesn't care at all.
Feng Yi knew her personality very well and knew that she never cared about these false reputations.
To help the little emperor, he wanted more to get rid of the high priest.
"Let's go to the palace first!" He tried his best to make his voice sound normal.
"good."
When she heard that an imperial decree had arrived, summoning all members of the Changsun clan to the palace, but Changsun Lingyue was the only one missing, she collapsed instantly.
"Dad, why didn't the emperor summon me to the palace?"
Chang Sun Li looked at her with extremely complicated eyes.
Regardless of whether she was deceived and instigated by Caiyue, she ultimately stood against the little emperor this time.
The fact that the little emperor did not enthrone her as queen last time was enough to show that she was completely disliked by the little emperor.
This time he didn't vent his anger on her, it was entirely for Qu Li's sake.
"Lingyue, you injured your leg, take good care of it."
Changsun Lingyue looked at him unwillingly, her eyes gradually turning red.
"Dad, Caiyue also provoked me. Who could have thought that someone who grew up with me and was as close as a sister would actually have evil intentions towards me?"
Chang Sun Li sighed softly: "Ling Yue, no matter what, it's wrong. The most important thing for you now is to heal your injuries."
Changsun Lingyue said nothing more.
After Changsun Li left, she endured the pain in her leg and limped out of the room.
Just then, Qu Li also came out of the room. Changsun Lingyue quickly suppressed the resentment and jealousy in her heart, and called out "cousin" aggrievedly.
After all, she is Changsun Li's daughter, so Qu Li can't be too cold to her.
She said "hmm" lightly and was about to go downstairs. At this moment, Changsun Lingyue suddenly knelt down.
The sound of his knees hitting the ground was so painful that Qu Li felt it was very painful.
Her expression was indifferent: "What are you doing?"
Although Changsun Lingyue blamed everything on Caiyue, Qu Li still felt that there was something wrong with her character.
It is obvious that the Changsun family is a very united family, and Changsun Lingyue, as the darling of the family, should not have such dark thoughts, but the fact is that she was jealous of her and tried to hurt her.
For fear that she might have some malicious intentions, Qu Li did not approach her.
"Cousin, I know I was wrong. Can you please talk to Grandpa, my uncle, my third uncle, and my father? Please don't ignore me!"
She spoke with such sincerity that tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
Seeing that Qu Li didn't react at all, she felt a little unsure.
"Cousin..."
She was sobbing and it was quite noisy.
"Actually, you still haven't given up on wanting to enter the palace?"
Changsun Lingyue's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at Qu Li with sharp eyes through tears.
How would she know?
Now that she has done something wrong, the people in the Changsun family treat her differently than before.
To them, she was a sinner.
If she was destined to live an ordinary life with only a secluded mind and find a mediocre man, she would rather have died yesterday.
Qu Li walked slowly towards her. The cold aura emanating from his body was so oppressive that Changsun Lingyue found it difficult to breathe.
"Changsun Lingyue, if you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn't be kneeling in front of me and saying so many hypocritical words."
These words were merciless, and Changsun Lingyue's cheeks were burning.
"Cousin, I sincerely want to apologize to you."
Qu Li raised the corner of her mouth, not hiding her sneer. "You just feel that the emperor issued an imperial decree to let everyone into the palace, but didn't summon you! There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. If people knew that you were practically an abandoned child of the Changsun clan, your reputation as a talented woman would become nothing but a joke."
The merciless and straightforward words made Changsun Lingyue's face pale again.
"Yes, I am obviously the most favored person in the family. Why did everything change after you came back?"
"Did I threaten you? Calm yourself down and think about what you did."
Changsun Lingyue pursed her lips and looked at Qu Li with increasingly cold eyes.
"You'd better put those messy thoughts aside! As long as you have a clear conscience, you won't feel like a laughing stock! Changsun Lingyue, if it weren't for the fact that you're my second cousin's daughter, I would never show you mercy!"
After saying this, Qu Li walked away.
Downstairs, everyone was waiting for her.
When I saw her coming out, I immediately asked her why it took her so long to come down.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something and forgot the time."
Changsun Lingrui looked at her deeply, and just as she looked over, the aunt and niece's eyes met, and he curled the corners of his lips towards Qu Li.
