Qu Li was in low spirits. He said "I know" dejectedly and continued to stare blankly.
It was the first time that Zhuoli saw her so distracted, and the gossip factor in his heart instantly exploded.
"Anything else?" Qu Li asked with a frown.
"without."
In the end, he said goodbye and left without asking anything.
The next morning, Zhuoli came to pick her up in person.
With Tianqing's help, Qu Li got into the carriage.
After walking a few meters, the horse suddenly went crazy, raised its two front hooves high, and ran forward wildly.
Zhuoli's face changed instantly and he grabbed the reins tightly, trying to subdue the horse.
However, the harder he pulled the reins, the crazier the horse became, and its neighing even revealed a hint of grief and anger.
Qu Li felt dizzy from being shaken around. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and could tell at a glance that the horse had definitely been tampered with.
It is impossible to subdue them by relying solely on Zhuo Li.
At this time, there were not many people on the street, and when they saw the horse going crazy, they were able to barely avoid it.
She was figuring out how to insert the anesthetic needle into the horse's neck when a child holding a puppy suddenly appeared in front of her.
He was obviously frightened and stood there with fear in his eyes, completely forgetting to dodge.
Zhuoli was also in a dilemma at this time.
If he chose to let go and save the child, Qu Li in the carriage would definitely be in danger of his life.
If you don't let go, the child is likely to be trampled by the horse's hooves and be in great danger.
Just when he was struggling to figure out what to do, Qu Li flew out of the carriage, picked up the child with nimble movements, and flew to the side.
Everyone was stunned. Soon, someone came to their senses and the sparse applause gradually turned into thunder.
Zhuoli struggled to subdue the mad horse and looked at Qu Li with an apologetic look.
Qu Li walked around the horse and checked it, and found a very hidden embroidery needle where the reins were.
Her expression grew increasingly gloomy, and the aura around her grew colder.
Zhuo Li was worried. Obviously, he had guessed that this matter must be related to Rong Yehua.
He glanced at Qu Li secretly and whispered, "Miss Qu, I will help you rearrange the carriage now."
"No need, go back now and tell King Zhongshan that I'm not worthy of him. If I insist on becoming sworn brothers with him, I'm afraid I'll die!"
Zhuo Li had a vague feeling that Qu Li might really not let Princess Ye Hua go this time.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to report it?" Qu Li's eyes were as cold as a knife.
"Ms. Qu, I will handle this as soon as possible. Please..."
Qu Li sneered and looked away, "Everyone, can anyone help me report this?"
The people were all worried just now. If Qu Li hadn't reacted quickly, something would have happened to the child.
If they let this mad horse run wild, they would definitely get hurt.
Someone stood up and said, "I'll go."
Qu Li thanked him.
Zhuo Li sighed and secretly prayed that Qu Li would release Princess Ye Hua again for the sake of King Zhongshan.
The man was extremely fast. When Rong Yehua saw a stranger coming, his heart was instantly in his throat.
"King of Zhongshan! My name is Wang San. Miss Qu asked me to come here."
Facing Rong Wei, whose face was solemn and whose whole body was filled with murderous aura, Wang San felt somewhat timid.
"What's wrong with Qu Li? What happened?"
In Rongwei's impression, Qu Li has always been a person who does things in moderation. She would definitely not just ask someone to come over. Something must have happened.
Wang San briefly explained the matter.
Even though he didn't explain it in detail, Rongwei had fought on the battlefield for many years and had already figured out everything in his mind.
His aggressive gaze shifted to Rong Yehua's face, his tiger eyes clearly showing his anger at his lack of fighting spirit.
Rong Yehua's breathing became tight and he pursed his pale lips.
"Great-grandfather."
"I'll be there right now!"
Xiao Xian said sternly, "I will go with the King of Zhongshan."
The person who came to be the witness today was the Empress Dowager. When she heard that Qu Li was almost in trouble, her face was full of worry.
"Since everyone is worried about that girl Qu Li, let's just go there!"
Since the Empress Dowager had spoken, Rongwei naturally could not refuse.
So, a group of people came to the scene of the accident in a mighty manner.
The originally spacious streets became crowded due to the arrival of so many distinguished figures at the same time.
Looking through the dense crowd, Qu Li saw Rong Yehua in the crowd at a glance.
Her eyes were full of panic, and because she felt guilty, she didn't dare to look at her.
Qu Li put the child down after finally pacifying him, gave him a lollipop, and handed him to the woman beside her to take good care of him. She then walked straight towards Rong Yehua.
Rong Yehua felt guilty and subconsciously hid behind Rong Wei.
Qu Li raised his hand.
“Snap—”
A loud slap landed on Rong Yehua's face, stunning her.
Rong Yehua covered his burning cheeks and glared at Qu Li with eyes full of resentment.
"You actually hit me?!"
She tilted her head to look at Rongwei, hoping that Rongwei could stand up for her.
However, this time Rongwei did not protect her as he did before.
She stared in disbelief at her kind great-grandfather who had always doted on her the most, her pupils trembling with shock.
Qu Li said sternly, "Didn't I say before that it can happen once or twice, but not three times? If you want to hurt me, come after me. There's no need to hurt innocent people!"
"Qu Li, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I hurt you? The horse suddenly went crazy, what does it have to do with me?" Rong Yehua's eyes were bloodshot, if his gaze turned into substance, he could tear Qu Li into pieces.
Qu Li stared at her coldly as she was stubborn, and suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Because of her anger, her grip was unusually strong, and Rong Yehua felt like the bones in his wrist would be crushed at any time.
"Open your eyes and take a good look!"
She pointed to a very hidden place under the horse's reins.
In the sunlight, a little silver light appeared in that place, which was actually the embroidery needle that had not yet completely penetrated the flesh!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder the horse suddenly went crazy.
As you walk along the road, as long as you hold the reins of the horse, you will touch the embroidery needle.
Wouldn’t this pain drive the horse crazy?
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Rong Yehua. Although everyone was concerned about Rong Wei and did not openly accuse Rong Yehua of being vicious, everything was self-evident.
Xiao Xian's eyes were as dark as ink, and that glance made Rong Yehua feel heartbroken.
Full of disappointment and disgust!
Rong Yehua stammered, suppressing his sorrow. "Qu Li, even if someone tampered with the horse, it wouldn't necessarily be me! Do you have any evidence to prove it was me?"
"Evidence?" Qu Li sneered. "You've repeatedly targeted me before and even warned me to refuse sworn brotherhood with the King of Zhongshan. Aren't these your motives?"
