As Feng Yi expected, Qu Li was indeed riding Hudan and walking on the mountain road.
She stopped and walked along the way and discovered many herbs.
Hudan suddenly hunched up alertly. Qu Li also heard the sound of horse hooves and reached out to touch Hudan's big furry head.
"It must be Ayi who sent someone over!"
“Ouch—”
Dahuo, accompanied by two secret guards, saw Qu Li and quickly dismounted.
"Ms. Qu."
"Why did you follow me?"
"Master is worried about you!"
"No one is implicated?"
Although she left a letter, she was still worried that Feng Yi would do something irrational out of sadness and anger.
"Master will always do his best to complete anything you ask of him."
She smiled and said, "Yeah!"
"Miss Qu, please stay here for a while. I will go and prepare food for you."
"Need not!"
There are so many fruits and snacks in her space that there is really no need to go hunting.
The fire did not give her a chance to refuse, and the two secret guards rode away on horseback.
"Miss Qu, the master is devoted to you. From the beginning to the end, you are the only one in his heart."
Qu Li raised the corner of his mouth and leaned on Hu Dan.
Dahuo secretly observed her expression, and for a moment he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"You don't usually talk much."
"I'm afraid you'll be upset because of the rumors in the palace!"
"Am I so narrow-minded?" Qu Li turned his eyes away, the smile on his lips deepening.
"It's not that you're narrow-minded, but those words were truly unpleasant! My master even had me punish a few palace maids who were talking nonsense!"
Feng Yi ordered him to deal with those who spread rumors behind Qu Li's back, and also reminded him not to let Qu Li know.
But he wanted to tell Qu Li, to let her know how much Feng Yi had done for her behind her back.
"Actually, they're not wrong! The relationship between Southern Qi and Dagan is inherently delicate. Furthermore, I did divorce Xiao Xian, so being the Queen of Southern Qi definitely has its flaws."
"Don't think like that! The master will be very sad if he hears it."
"Okay, I won't say anymore!"
She remained calm throughout, not caring at all.
Dahuo lowered the corners of her lips, and for a moment she couldn't guess whether she really believed that Feng Yi could properly handle everything and marry her without any worries, or whether she had seen the infighting in the harem clearly and had already thought about leaving Feng Yi.
"Miss Qu, the master will do whatever he wants, no matter what. You must trust the master."
The tone was a little urgent.
Qu Li supported his chin with one hand, staring at Dahuo who was about to cry with anxiety, and suddenly wanted to tease him.
"What good is there in someone like me? Once he ascends the throne, he'll have all the women in Southern Qi to choose from!"
Dahuo, who was lighting the fire, suddenly stood up and said, "Miss Qu, the master really only has you in his heart! No other woman can possibly catch his eye. It's just like after having a full banquet, who would still want to eat plain porridge and cabbage?"
Qu Li felt that he was really amazing, as he could make such a tough guy almost cry.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, she guessed that the two secret guards who went hunting had returned, so she said, "Okay, I was just teasing you! Look how nervous you are!"
"How can I not be nervous? After all, this concerns the master's lifelong happiness!" Dahuo frowned.
Qu Li smiled calmly.
“Whoosh—”
An arrow fell at her feet, and the tiger egg was enraged, roaring like a tiger, the echo of which was infinitely amplified in the mountains and forests.
A red figure suddenly appeared in front of Qu Li.
Tiger Egg has already arched its body, showing an attacking posture.
Qu Li looked into the distance.
The woman on the horse has three-dimensional facial features and is dressed in red, like a flame, giving people a refreshing feeling.
"This tiger looks very majestic. Did you raise it?" The woman immediately raised her eyebrows, raised her chin slightly, and had an arrogant attitude.
Qu Li's eyes were indifferent. "What if it is, and what if it isn't?"
"I've taken a fancy to this tiger. How much silver can you give me?"
She sneered and asked instead of answering, "How much silver can you offer?"
The woman frowned, with obvious displeasure between her brows, and looked at the followers around her.
The attendant took out a gold ingot from his purse and threw it at Qu Li's feet.
The woman said, "One ingot of gold. I think this tiger would be great if it were made into a tiger-skin mattress!"
Qu Li frowned and glanced at the gold at his feet, a sneer appearing at the corner of his lips.
"why are you laughing?"
Qu Li slowly raised his head and said, "For a gold ingot, are you humiliating me or Hu Dan?"
Hu Dan also responded with an "Awooo" and looked at the woman with murderous eyes.
The woman found it interesting, and the unyielding spirit in her bones was churning violently.
"Giving you a gold ingot is a sign of respect for you!"
When she came to Southern Qi, her father repeatedly told her to control her temper and not to cause trouble.
The purpose of her visit was to see the new emperor of Southern Qi!
"Really?" Qu Li suddenly took out several gold bars from his sleeves and threw them at the woman and the guards around her as if they were free.
The gold, wrapped in internal force, fell accurately on the guard's head.
The guard groaned and a big bump appeared on his forehead.
Although the woman dodged it, she was still terrified.
"You!!" She glared angrily, "How dare you hurt me?"
A mocking arc appeared on Qu Li's lips: "The one who teases first is a slut!"
"You're the bitch!" The woman was obviously enraged and turned to look at the guards beside her, "Kill her!"
The guard gripped the hilt of his knife tightly and was about to attack Qu Li.
Dahuo's eyes flashed with ferocity and he rushed forward with a sword in hand.
The two secret guards who went hunting also hurried back. The atmosphere was tense and war was about to break out.
Qu Li remained calm throughout the whole process. She said to Da Huo, "Those who fight and kill are not civilized people!"
Dahuo instantly guessed that Qu Li must be planning to use poison, so he exchanged glances with the two secret guards. The three of them held their breath and took half a step back.
Qu Li raised his hand and tucked his hair behind his ears, while the colorless and odorless poison was blown towards the woman and others by the wind.
The woman just felt something was wrong and did not realize that she was poisoned.
"Many people have taken a fancy to my big cat, but you're the first one who wants to skin it and make a tiger-skin mattress! Very brave!"
Every word is full of sarcasm.
The woman suddenly felt chest tightness. After glancing at her guard who had the same symptoms as her, she belatedly realized that she was poisoned. She looked at Qu Li with eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive.
"Hand over the antidote!" She roared in a hoarse voice.
Enjoying her exasperated look, Qu Li smiled broadly, "Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about! What antidote?"
