Xiao Xian looked at her for a full minute, then suddenly leaned forward.
The distance between them suddenly shortened. She could even clearly feel the scorching breath he was spraying. She frowned and took a half step back.
"Are you afraid of this king?"
Qu Li retreated to a safe position, and when he turned his fingers, two silver needles suddenly appeared.
Xiao Xian only felt that the Qihai acupoint began to hurt again, and his face looked not very good.
"I thought what you wanted to see was me bowing my head! In order to leave the house smoothly, for Wen Zhao, I can bow my head! But, bowing my head doesn't mean I'm afraid of you!"
"You are so arrogant!"
Qu Li sneered: "It can't be helped, my needlework is so good."
"Those vegetable seeds in your backyard were only planted a short time ago, how come they sprouted so quickly?"
"I don't know!" Qu Li said with a cold smile, "Maybe it's good feng shui! Even Changle said that the tea here is better than other places."
Xiao Xian was suspicious and his eyes fell on the teapot beside him.
Qu Li was so annoyed with this scumbag that she naturally didn't want the tea mixed with spiritual spring water to go into his stomach.
She reacted quickly and rushed forward to grab the teapot.
However, Xiao Xian's speed was not slow either.
The two of them touched the handle of the teapot almost at the same time. The moment their fingers touched, Xiao Xian felt an electric current rushing from his fingertips to the top of his heart, and his heartbeat instantly became like a drum.
His pupils suddenly tightened and his breathing became disordered.
Immediately afterwards, a tingling and numbness quickly spread to his shoulders and neck, and he couldn't help but let go.
His eyes were fixed on Qu Li, who was holding the silver needle in his hand. He asked in a cold voice, "Qu Li, how many times have you stabbed me?"
"I'm a skilled doctor. You should feel honored to be pricked by me!"
There was mischief in her eyes and she poured out all the tea.
"you--"
This stinky woman would rather pour it out than give him tea. It's too much!
“You’re good!”
Xiao Xian sneered while rubbing the numb acupoints, then left with a dark face.
Qu Li looked at the suddenly higher courtyard wall outside the window and sighed silently.
Caiju walked in and said to her, "Princess, I have a way to help you leave the palace smoothly."
"What method?"
Caiju walked forward and whispered in her ear.
Qu Li looked at her deeply and said, "If I can get out safely, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
"Everything I have today is given by the princess! If there was no princess back then, I would have been sold into a brothel or died! It is the princess who gave me everything I have now!"
She was in a very good mood and smiled, "From today on, you will serve me!"
Caiju was so grateful that her eyes turned red and she knelt down immediately.
"Well, you know I hate all this red tape!"
In recent days, Caiju has behaved well. She feels that she has ignored her for a long time and it is time to give her a chance.
As night fell, Qu Li and Cai Ju changed their clothes and put on the human skin masks they had made in the space in the afternoon. They disguised themselves as Cai Ju and successfully climbed over the wall from the back kitchen to leave Prince Chen's Mansion.
She found a secluded place, entered the space, transformed herself into a passerby again, and paid the balance.
The deputy leader was always respectful to her, which made her confused for a moment.
She went to visit Qu Wenzhao again.
Qu Wenzhao and Qiao Zi both widened their eyes and looked at Qu Li, who had a strange man's face in front of them.
"Are you really the eldest sister?" Qu Wenzhao still couldn't believe it.
He, whose eldest sister Xiao Xian's mind was always occupied, not only had good medical skills, but also knew how to disguise herself. Suddenly, he felt that he was really incompetent.
He promised to protect his elder sister, but he could only sit in a wheelchair every day.
"Of course! You can't be so blind as to not even recognize my voice, right?"
"Eldest sister, I..." The young man hesitated, "Am I particularly useless?"
"Why do you think so?" Qu Li walked up to him, squatted down, and looked at his dim eyes with gentle and calm eyes.
"I said I would protect you! But now...my elder sister has become so powerful, I...I'm so confused!"
Qu Li smiled and patted the back of his hand: "Wen Zhao has done a great job! You have recovered very well recently! That's already amazing!"
Qu Wenzhao pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qiao Zi was standing aside, and said worriedly, "Miss, please try to persuade the young master. Yesterday, he..."
"Qiao Zi!" Qu Wenzhao shouted, interrupting him.
"What happened to him yesterday?" Qu Li turned his eyes to the side, his eyes full of inquiry.
Qiao Zi looked like he was going all out. "He was trying to show off yesterday, insisting on seeing if he could stand up, and ended up falling!"
Qu Li's face suddenly changed.
Qu Wenzhao was furious. "Who allowed you to say that?"
"Let me see!" Qu Li lifted up his long gown without saying anything and was about to help him check.
The boy's cheeks flushed red and he quickly pushed her away.
"Eldest sister, don't listen to Qiao Zi's exaggeration! I just feel that I've recovered well recently and my legs have regained feeling. I want to give it a try!"
“Take it step by step!”
"Eldest sister, the word 'no' suddenly appeared on the giant stone in the eastern suburbs. Many people say that there was a word on the stone that was not fully revealed that day. If this academy is not built, the country will decline. The emperor has issued an order, asking Qu Yuxing to hurry up and build the academy!"
The boy's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was choked.
"I know that all of this was secretly planned by my elder sister! If I hadn't done this, I would definitely be able to help my elder sister! I'm just afraid that my words about protecting my elder sister will ultimately become empty words! I'm afraid that I will become a burden to my elder sister!"
He spoke with such sincerity that Qu Li's eyes felt a little sore.
She gently held the boy's hand, which was clenched into a fist due to excitement, and slowly spread out his fingers.
"It's because I didn't take good care of you that you have to endure so much pain! You've been in a wheelchair for so many years, and it will take time to recover. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?"
Her speech was slow and her voice was gentle, like a warm hand, slowly soothing the pain in his heart and allowing him to calm down.
"I believe that the day you stand up again, you will be the most handsome, brave, and wise man in the world!"
Qu Wenzhao felt extremely comfortable being ironed. He pursed his lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Prince Chen?"
Qu Li was startled, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "That's a scumbag!"
Qu Wenzhao was stunned, his eyes widened, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Thinking of Xiao Xian's cold treatment of his elder sister over the years, he finally nodded in agreement: "He is indeed a scumbag! What my elder sister said is right."
The brother and sister smiled at each other.
"Okay, I left some medicine for you. Take it for now. I'll come over in a few days!"
"Eldest sister!"
They had to part again, and Qu Wenzhao felt sad.
"Next time my elder sister comes, I'll bring you some delicious food!" Qu Li joked.
"I'm not a three-year-old child!" Qu Wenzhao's cheeks flushed, and he stammered, as if he had something to say.
