"This piece of cloth is hooked on the window. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it!" Qu Li muttered to himself.
Changle held her chin with both hands and said, "Seventh cousin, this small piece of cloth can only be seen as a eunuch's clothes. Other than that, it can't prove anything."
When Xiao Xian picked up the cloth in her hand, his little finger touched her hand lightly.
In an instant, it was as if an electric current flowed rapidly from his little finger all the way to his heart, and his breathing became disordered.
Qu Li frowned and gave him a cold warning look. The next second, a silver needle appeared between his fingers.
Xiao Xian coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Changle's eyes darted between their faces, and like a curious baby, he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Kid, don't worry about these messy things." Xiao Xian's eyes were heavy.
"You are the child, your whole family are children!" Changle curled her lips and retorted angrily.
The corner of Qu Li's eye twitched, and he changed the subject, "I also found this small piece of cloth with great difficulty. I don't think the real murderer will find it!"
"Seventh cousin, you don't know that the eunuchs in the palace have to do a lot of work every day! It is inevitable that their clothes will be scratched, and it is really not easy to find this small piece of cloth! What's more, if we do this, wouldn't it alert the enemy?" Changle expressed his thoughts.
"There are indeed a lot of eunuchs in the palace. Once we look for them, we will definitely alert the enemy. But, I also want to alert the enemy!" Qu Li said inscrutable words with a smile on his lips.
"No, no!" Changle deliberately pressed his eyebrows, "Seventh cousin, I can't quite follow your train of thought."
"It seems like you are alerting the snake, but in fact you are luring it out of its hole?" Xiao Xian looked at her smiling face, his eyes becoming softer.
Qu Li raised his eyes and said, "Yeah."
His smile deepened, "What are you going to do?"
“Sometimes the simplest things are often the most effective!”
Changle looked at Qu Li, then at Xiao Xian, and suddenly felt that she was very redundant.
She snorted twice with accusatory eyes, earning a glare from Xiao Xian and a pat on the head from Qu Li.
Changle was very satisfied, her big eyes curved into crescents, and she raised the end of her eyebrows provocatively at Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian looked like he had eaten a lot of vinegar, his face was as black as the ash at the bottom of a pot.
The three of them discussed for a few more sentences, and Xiao Xian found Emperor Kang and presented him with the cloth.
The emperor was furious!
Emperor Kang said sternly, "It's the rat again, and the red scorpion again. Ah Xian, you must find this person who repeatedly tries to harm our mother!"
"Father." Xiao Xian paused, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"What do you mean? Are you afraid that you won't be able to find this person?" Kangdi's deep eyes were full of suspicion.
"Father, I want to ask you for something."
Kangdi looked at him deeply, "Bai Fengyao?"
"no!"
"What is that?"
"The reason why I treat Bai Fengyao so specially is because I always thought it was her who saved me! Now the truth is revealed, it was Qu Li who really saved me! It was also she who saved the Empress Dowager. I have thought a lot about it. I treated Qu Li so badly before! But my father also taught me that making mistakes is not terrible, and knowing one's mistakes can lead to improvement!"
Kangdi stood with his hands behind his back, a relieved smile on his face.
This seventh son was precocious and had extraordinary martial arts skills.
He once led thousands of troops to the front line and made great contributions to the cause. If his mother was not weak and he was not the eldest son, he would have been appointed as the crown prince long ago!
He has always been the best, but unfortunately, he acted foolishly in the matter of Bai Fengyao.
"I can help you! But I've seen that Qu Li has his own ideas!"
"I will definitely make her open her heart to me again!" Xiao Xian stood up with an extremely determined look.
Kangdi nodded with satisfaction, "Just do it!"
"Thank you, Father!"
When Xiao Xian returned to the Cining Palace, Changle hurried to greet him, "Seventh cousin, what did the emperor say?"
"Agreed!" Xiao Xian looked at Qu Li, "Grandmother, I'd like to ask you to take care of this! Leave the search for the murderer to me!"
Although Changle was also annoyed by what Xiao Xian did to Qu Li, as the empress dowager said, there was no divorce in the royal family. If Qu Li insisted on divorce, then death would be his only option.
She didn't want her seventh cousin-in-law, who was so kind, to come to any harm.
If her seventh cousin could truly realize that he was wrong and treat her better, even better, she would still want to bring the two of them together.
"This is what my seventh cousin-in-law was talking about, pairing men and women. Isn't it tiring to work now?"
Xiao Xian raised an eyebrow, "Insightful!"
How could Qu Li not know what Changle was planning?
After Xiao Xian left, she looked very seriously into Changle's smiling eyes.
"Seventh cousin, why are you looking at me like that?"
Changle felt her scalp tingling from her overly sharp gaze, and couldn't help swallowing.
Qu Li lifted her bangs and pointed at the scar on her forehead, "I'm a vengeful person!"
"But, Seventh Cousin, there's no divorce in the royal family! If you insist on divorce, you'll end up dead!"
Changle's voice was choked with sobs and the corners of his eyes turned red.
"There are no roads in this world, but when more people walk on them, they become roads! It's not that the royal family doesn't have the ability to divorce, they just haven't found the way!"
She did not tell anyone about the academy. After all, Changle was just a straightforward child who had never seen the darkness of the world!
Xiao Xian was in a very good mood. He asked Emperor Kang to borrow Eunuch Fu. Soon, all the eunuchs in the palace gathered in Zhanghe Palace.
Everyone secretly looked at Xiao Xian's solemn expression, and they kept criticizing him in their hearts.
"Eunuch Fu?" Xiao Xian turned his eyes away.
"Reporting to Prince Chen, all the eunuchs have arrived!" Eunuch Fu held a list in his hand.
Xiao Xian stood up and looked around. There were quite a few people.
According to what he had previously discussed with Qu Li, he divided the eunuchs into ten groups and asked them to check each other's eunuch uniforms.
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they could only carefully check the sleeves.
Among the ten groups of eunuchs, only less than a hundred people were left with jumpers on their sleeves.
"The rest of you can go back."
Xiao Xian looked at the eunuchs, who numbered less than a hundred, and asked them in detail about their whereabouts when the rats were thrown into the side hall.
After detailed interrogation along the way, there were less than ten suspects left.
Xiao Xian praised Qu Li again in his heart and said loudly, "If anyone among you comes forward and admits that you were the one who released the rat into the side hall of the Cining Palace and intended to harm the Empress Dowager, you can leave your body intact. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I would rather kill someone by mistake than let anyone go!"
Several eunuchs looked terrified.
After waiting for about a minute, no one came forward.
Xiao Xian sneered: "It seems that they are all tough guys!"
"Prince Chen, I am a disabled person. If I leave the palace, there is no way for me to survive! How could I dig my own grave?" said a eunuch in a trembling voice.
