Qu Li hid in the space and successfully came to the place where the wooden beams were placed.
The cut was smooth, with only the lower part being uneven. It was obvious that someone had cut the beam in advance and then used internal force to break it.
Today is the day when the academy is officially opened. There are many people coming and it is very noisy. Even if there is a loud noise when the wooden beams are broken, no one will pay attention.
Just looking at the cuts in the wooden beams, it can only be proved that someone did it intentionally.
She went around upstairs to see if there were any clues left.
This person obviously came prepared and left almost no clues at the scene.
However, Qu Li still found a small handful of soil on the ground.
But this soil does not belong to the yellow soil in the academy's back garden.
She squatted down, picked up a handful of soil and observed it carefully.
The soil was half fresh. It snowed in Beijing a few days ago. The temperature had risen in the past two days and the snow had melted. It was not uncommon to step on the soil.
only--
She curled her lips at the handful of soil and smiled coldly.
She took out a sealed bag and put the soil in it. Then she searched carefully again and found nothing. Then she turned around and left the attic.
Bai Ruowei has been feeling uneasy ever since she knew Qu Li was going to check the scene.
Qu Wenzhao has always cared about Qu Li. If he knew that Qu Li had gone to the scene of the crime, no one knew what he would do in excitement!
"Ruo Wei!"
Only after hearing Qu Li's voice and seeing her walking towards her did Bai Ruowei's heart finally settle down.
"I'm not going to venture into a dangerous place, why are you so nervous?"
Qu Li couldn't help laughing and joking.
"I'm not afraid!"
"Okay." She patted the back of her hand gently, just like when she left, with a soothing look.
Bai Ruowei instantly felt relieved. "Did you find anything?"
Qu Li took out a sealed bag from his sleeve and said, "Take a look at this."
She took it, opened the sealed bag, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Qu Wenzhao frowned and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Eldest sister, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Bai Ruowei tightened her grip. "We were just talking in private! Oh, and I don't know what's going on with Changle! She's just a firecracker, it'll explode if you light it!"
Qu Wenzhao had no doubts and said, "I'll go check it out."
"good."
After sending Qu Wenzhao away, Bai Ruowei lowered her voice, her expression solemn, "Li'er, this is soil from the Imperial Garden! Is this really related to the Emperor?!"
Qu Li nodded and laughed mockingly: "I really don't know what the emperor is doing."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Let's see what the emperor plans to do first!" Qu Li looked up at the sky.
At this moment, she missed Feng Yi especially.
If he were here, nothing would have happened to Xiao Xian just now.
"Li'er, I always feel that the emperor is doing this for Prince Chen!"
"Whatever he wants to do will only be a joke." Qu Li retracted his gaze, and his pair of black and white eyes seemed to be stained with wind, frost, rain and snow.
Bai Ruowei pursed her lips, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, became tense again.
"Li'er, that's the emperor!"
She wanted to say that she had such a powerful backer like Xiling and the wholehearted care of the Crown Prince of Southern Qi, so she could take Qu Wenzhao away from Dagan.
"Yes, it's the emperor!" Although Qu Li had a smile on his lips, the smile did not reach his eyes.
Xiao Xian woke up around dusk, but Emperor Kang had not returned to the palace yet.
"Axian? How do you feel?" Kangdi asked with concern.
Xiao Xian frowned: "Father, what time is it now? Why aren't the lights on yet?"
Hearing this, Kangdi's heart sank.
He raised his hand and waved it in front of Xiao Xian's eyes.
Xiao Xian didn't react at all.
Just then, Qu Li came in with medicine. Emperor Kang was furious and exuded a cold aura from his whole body.
"Qu Li, come here and show Ah Xian."
Xiao Xian's heart began to beat rapidly.
Qu Li is here too?
After going through so much between them, she was still willing to take care of him.
Kangdi felt as if there was a ball of wet cotton in his chest, and his eyes turned red.
"Qu Li, I want a healthy Ah Xian!"
When meeting Kangdi's ink-black eyes, Qu Li's face showed no abnormality.
"Your Majesty, Qu Li has a few words to say to you alone."
Emperor Kang only thought it was related to Xiao Xian. He looked at her deeply and walked out first with a gloomy face.
"Didn't you say before that the most serious consequence for Ah Xian would be amnesia or dementia? Why can't he see anything now?"
Qu Li met Kangdi's eyes calmly, "Your Majesty, the reason why Prince Chen has become what he is now is all due to you."
This is extremely disrespectful.
"Qu Li, you are so bold!" Emperor Kang's face was gloomy and he shouted harshly.
Qu Li said slowly, "Didn't the Emperor have someone tamper with the wooden beams in advance?"
Hearing this, Emperor Kangdi's hand tightened suddenly under his sleeve, and a storm of emotions surged in his heart.
But he was the emperor, and the ability to hide his emotions was ingrained in him, so his face remained as calm as before.
"Your Majesty, Qu Li and Prince Chen are like broken porcelain. No matter how skilled you are, it is impossible to restore them to their original state! If you do this, Qu Li will not be grateful, but will become even more resistant!"
"Qu Li, are you really not afraid of death?" Emperor Kang scolded harshly.
"Of course Qu Li is afraid of death, but the Emperor is high above, holding the power of life and death over all people in the world. With just one word from the Emperor, he can take Qu Li's life, even the life of his most beloved brother."
Emperor Kangdi did not expect that Qu Li would actually express what he was thinking in such an exceptionally calm tone. There was a hint of speculation in his eyes, which were always bright and uncertain.
"Your Majesty has always been adept at planning and strategizing, believing he can calculate people's hearts and minds, and he even has your methods to know everything that happens in the world! So, Your Majesty must know that Qu Li is the Princess Anping, personally appointed by the Emperor of Xiling, right?"
Kangdi tightened his hands under his sleeves, and the jade ring hurt his palms.
"Qu Li will do his best to heal Prince Chen, but this has nothing to do with love. Your Majesty, please do not try to threaten Qu Li with this."
"What if I insist on doing this?"
Qu Li took out the sealed bag and asked, "Your Majesty, do you recognize this?"
Kangdi's pupils narrowed.
That's the soil from the imperial garden!
After the wooden beam fell, he immediately had the scene cordoned off, for fear that someone as smart as Qu Li would discover something.
Thinking about the several contacts Mo Wenqing had had with Qu Li before, he was now very suspicious and couldn't help but wonder if Mo Wenqing had found out something and secretly told her.
"Your Majesty, please do not be suspicious of anyone. You are on guard against Qu Li because you are afraid that Qu Li will discover something."
"Qu Li, you are challenging the majesty of heaven!" Kangdi stared at her for about half a minute and said slowly.
