Qu Li found it quite funny to see that the usually calm and composed man was frowning with worry.
Anyway, he was the one who caused the trouble, so he should solve it himself.
On the other hand, Chang Sun Chi followed Qu Li's words and went directly to the palace to apologize to the little emperor.
The poison in the little emperor's body was removed, and there was no high priest using him as a puppet. With his lightning-fast tactics, he eliminated most of the high priest's followers in a short period of time.
He is now feared by others and is no longer the poor little guy whose life and death are in the hands of others.
When he heard Zhao Yidao's report that Chang Sun Chi had come to apologize, he was stunned.
"Your Majesty, do you want to make an announcement?" Zhao Yidao asked respectfully.
The little emperor's eyes were deep, "What do you think of Chang Sun Chi?"
Zhao Yidao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the young emperor's thoughts.
"You're so bold to say it."
"Your Majesty, I admire everyone in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion! If we were to ask who is the most loyal to the royal family, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion would be second, and no one would dare to rank first."
The little emperor put down the red pen he was using to mark memorials and stood up.
Zhao Yidao followed closely behind him.
The little emperor came to the window and pushed it open a little.
Even though the winter in Xiling is not cold, most people really cannot kneel on the ground bare-chested.
"Do you think that with Chang Sun Chi's intelligence, he would think of asking for forgiveness?"
"I'm sure you'll never expect that!"
"Although Prime Minister Zhang Sun is smart, he is also a straightforward person. The person who gave Zhang Sun Chi advice was definitely not him."
Before Qu Li went to explore the Black Wind Cliff, Chang Sun Li only went to the palace to explain to him.
Today, Chang Sun Chi came to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back, and it caused such a big commotion.
Those who have been keeping an eye on the Duke of Anguo's Mansion can now shut up.
"I should go visit Sister Qu after she returns safely."
"I will arrange it now."
The little emperor nodded slightly, "Send him in half an hour later."
"yes."
There were many people and gossips in the palace, and news about Chang Sun Chi spread faster than radio.
Those court officials who had been keeping an eye on the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and had been impeaching Chang Sun Chi for being arrogant and conceited for several days were all shocked.
Half an hour later, Changsun Chi was finally able to enter the imperial study.
Chang Sun Chi knelt respectfully below, waiting for the little emperor's lecture.
The little emperor asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I am a rough man. Before, my cousin was the only one in my mind, and I didn't think too much about it. Now that my cousin is fine, I suddenly realized how much trouble I had caused Your Majesty."
"So, this idea was indeed given to you by Sister Qu."
The little emperor's eyes were dark and unclear, making Chang Sun Chi unable to guess his thoughts for a moment.
"yes."
After thinking for a moment, he answered truthfully.
"How is Sister Qu?"
"My cousin is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Zhao Yidao, please take a seat."
Only then did Chang Sun Chi take off the brambles on his back.
His back was covered with wounds caused by the thorns. The young emperor sent for the imperial physician and gave him medicine.
"Let's end this matter here. You can go to the barracks with peace of mind. I trust the Anguo Mansion, but people's hearts are unpredictable. There are always some people who want to stir up trouble."
"Your Majesty has taught me this. I will be more careful with my words and actions in the future."
"Okay, go back first!"
When Chang Sun Chi left the palace, his expression was normal. Those who had been watching could not guess for a moment the little emperor's attitude towards the Anguo Mansion.
He returned to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and immediately went to Qu Li's room.
Seeing Feng Yi's pale face and weak appearance, Chang Sun Chi looked at her with disdain.
"Cousin."
Chang Sun Chi told her what happened when he entered the palace.
"Cousin, the emperor doesn't hold a grudge against me, does he?"
“Puff—”
Qu Li couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, in my eyes, you have always been a person who dares to act boldly, never thinks before doing anything, and just acts recklessly when encountering things. Why do you care about the emperor's thoughts this time?"
"To be honest," Chang Sun Chi said after a quick glance around. "It's not like I haven't seen the Emperor before, but I always thought he was just a teenager. He was completely forced into this position by the High Priest."
Realizing that it was extremely disrespectful to say this about the current emperor, and that once it got out, it would bring fatal disaster to the Changsun family, Changsun Chi slapped himself hard.
"Look at my stinky mouth."
"I know what you mean, cousin. Are you trying to say that the emperor is much more mature now and has his own ideas?"
Chang Sun Chi nodded vigorously, "Not only does he have his own ideas, but to be more precise, it's impossible to guess his thoughts."
"The Emperor will certainly remember the contributions of the Anguo Mansion! From now on, as long as everyone in the Anguo Mansion is wholeheartedly loyal to the Emperor, loyal to Xiling and the people, and cautious in their words and actions, no one will find an opportunity to attack and annihilate the Anguo Mansion, and the Emperor will not make it difficult."
"I will definitely control my mouth and my temper."
"Brother, you have the hottest temper and are very straightforward! You can easily be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. From now on, you must remember that no matter what you say or do, before you do it, you must silently count to ten in your mind."
The wrinkles between Chang Sun Chi's brows deepened, and his eyes looking at her became deep.
"Cousin, why do you sound like you're giving me some instructions? Are you leaving Xiling?"
He is just straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush or think about messy things. It doesn't mean he is stupid.
There is absolutely no reason why Qu Li said these things.
"I do have this plan."
Chang Sun Chi's eyes suddenly dimmed. "Cousin, this is your home. Can't you stay here? Besides, the emperor has given you a title. Wouldn't it be nice for you to be a princess in Xiling? If you are willing, you can take him here and we can treat him well."
"Brother, all good things must come to an end! When it's time to go back, you're destined to go back."
"Cousin!"
"Brother, I have made a decision on this matter. I will set off back to Dagan the day after tomorrow at the latest."
This time she was not acting completely on her own. She had to rush back to Dagan to meet Kangdi and tell him what she had seen and heard along the way.
In addition, Zhaoxu Academy should be completed soon. Emperor Kangdi had promised to write an inscription for the academy before. When the time comes, she wants to restore the glory of the Li family.
We must let the Grand Princess feel at ease to hand Changle over to Wen Zhao!
"Cousin, I can't bear to leave you!"
Chang Sun Chi choked up and his eyes were red.
Qu Li felt a little sad. She patted Chang Sun Chi's arm and said, "Brother, take good care of yourself. I will write to you when I get back."
"Dagan and Xiling are so far apart that it would take half a month, or even a month, for a letter to reach Xiling."
"Ahem!" Qu Liting touched the corner of his mouth helplessly: "Brother, it's not that exaggerated! Don't worry, Shadow Pavilion has a special channel for delivering letters, it won't take that long!"
