What gave Qu Li a headache was that Xiao Xian not only had the walls of Qinghe Garden raised, but also ordered that even if she had his black jade pendant, she was not allowed to leave the palace.
Qu Li was angry and went straight to the study.
"You can ground me, but what about Wen Zhao's health?"
She leaned her hands on the desk, her eyes filled with rage, as if she could torture him to death.
Xiao Xian sat upright in the chair, glancing at her calmly.
"Did you hear what I said?"
"What is the relationship between Lu Ren and you?"
Qu Li coughed: "Why are you asking this?"
"Lu Ren is you!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Qu Li felt a little guilty.
She thought she was being discreet, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xian exposed her identity, which made her feel annoyed.
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes.
He was just trying to trick her, but he didn't expect that she would actually be tricked!
There was a hint of mockery and playfulness on the corner of his mouth: "I never knew that the princess was so capable!"
Qu Li frowned and met his playful gaze.
"In that case, the princess will find a way to leave the palace on her own! As for my brother-in-law, I will ask the imperial physician to take care of him."
"Okay!" She smiled meaningfully and turned to leave.
Xiao Xian looked at her back with a raised corner of his mouth, but after glancing at the short dart on the table, the corner of his mouth drooped again.
Qu Li couldn't go out, so he could only ask Guangping to go to the clinic to take Caiju to Qinghe Garden.
She asked Caiju to stay in the outer courtyard and do some rough work, and then ignored her.
Caiju was very conscientious in her duties, and usually didn't talk much. She got along quite harmoniously with the old women and maids.
In the days that followed, Qu Li tried every possible way to secretly leave Qinghe Garden.
Helplessly, she used the grappling hook to finally climb up the wall, but she heard a dog barking. Xiao Xian, that despicable scumbag, actually let the guards of the palace guard outside the courtyard wall.
Qu Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
She dressed up as a maid again, but still failed.
Whenever Xiao Xian heard Guangping report about Qu Li, a smile would always appear on his face.
Guangping couldn't help but think, since the prince disliked the princess so much before, could it be that he has feelings for her now?
Thinking of Bai Fengyao who was confined to Yaoyuan, he became more certain of his guess.
"Guangping!"
Just as his mind was wandering, he suddenly came back to his senses.
Xiao Xian's face was gloomy and his tone was impatient: "What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think of anything!"
"This prince has no feelings for Qu Li, I just think it's funny that she got humiliated!"
Guangping almost choked to death on his saliva.
He wanted to laugh, but was afraid of offending him, so he frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Your Highness, the disguised person has gone out several times in the past few days, and no suspicious people have appeared."
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and played with the short dart with his slender fingers.
"I think that person might be coming for the prince, who knows!"
"Qu Li was previously being hunted by the Shadow Pavilion, and the person who saved her might be the same person this time."
"They are all skilled in using short darts, but I have searched the entire capital, even asking people in the martial arts world, and I have found no one who uses this type of short dart."
Xiao Xian nodded.
This short dart is said to have a unique shape and is extremely sharp. If someone uses it, it will definitely leave a deep impression on people.
But now no one knows who the owner of this dart is!
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the study.
Guangping followed quietly behind him.
Xiao Xian suddenly stopped and ordered, "No need to follow."
He went straight to Qinghe Garden and suddenly found it very interesting to see the maids and servants busy in the back garden.
Seeing him come in, everyone saluted.
Xiao Xian frowned, his eyes fixed on the sprouting vegetable seedlings, a look of surprise on his face.
"How come these seeds have sprouted so quickly after only being planted for so long?"
"I don't know!" The housekeeper replied respectfully, "Perhaps the Princess's Qinghe Garden has spiritual energy!"
Xiao Xian nodded.
Qu Li was just about to come over and secretly add the spiritual spring water into the water tank. When he saw Xiao Xian from afar, he turned around and left.
"stop!"
She paused, looking at him with raised eyebrows.
"Have you prepared the birthday gift for the Empress Dowager?"
"I bought a lot with Changle before! I just thought they were all good, so I was a little hesitant."
"Let this king take a look."
The wrinkles between Qu Li's brows deepened. After hesitating for a moment, she saw that Xiao Xian had already passed her and headed towards the bedroom first, so she had no choice but to follow him.
She pointed at the items that could be found everywhere on the street and said, "That's it!"
Xiao Xian was so angry that he laughed: "Do you know that this is the Royal Grandmother's birthday?"
The Empress Dowager has always loved him the most, and he would rack his brains to prepare birthday gifts every year.
This time, if I leave it to her, she will just fool around with these crude things?
"Know."
Qu Li was very clear from the beginning that the Empress Dowager did not really like her when she arranged the marriage, so she did not prepare carefully.
But these words cannot be said to Xiao Xian.
She thought for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother has been trapped in the palace for a long time. Given her status and position, she has naturally seen many good things."
It seems that there is some truth in what he said.
Xiao Xian's expression eased slightly.
Qu Li continued, "These things may seem like common items outside the palace, but they are all very exquisite. They say that when people get old, they become naughty little kids!"
Noticing Xiao Xian's expression darken again, she added, "All women are forever eighteen, but it's an indisputable fact that people age every day."
Xiao Xian picked up a piece of coarse cotton cloth and looked at the unusual pattern on it. "Even if what you said makes sense, this cotton cloth is not practical at all."
