"What's your name?"
"My servant, Little Li, is a eunuch serving in the Yilan Palace."
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes.
All the eunuchs were terrified, except for this little Leo who stood up. His courage was commendable and quite interesting.
Shen Rui's eyes slowly swept over the other eunuchs, "Do you think so too?"
"In reply to King Chen's words, I, I... I also..." The first eunuch in line did not dare to look up and answered in a low voice.
Xiao Xian was disgusted: "Stuttering?"
"I'm not! I'm just scared!" The eunuch lowered his head even lower, almost digging into the ground.
Xiao Xian glanced at Little Leo again.
Although they were about the same age, he spoke with confidence and exuded a sense of shrewdness.
"I have never had much patience. I'll give you one last chance. If you confess, you can spare the lives of others. Think carefully!"
Little Leo looked up and met Xiao Xianrui's cold eyes, but there was no fear in his eyes.
"Your Highness, if we truly intend to harm the Empress Dowager, it would mean we are ruthless and heartless! How could such a person voluntarily come forward and admit everything just for the sake of someone else's life?"
Xiao Xian sneered, "You are quite eloquent!"
"Your Majesty, I am only telling the truth!"
"Well then, put these people in jail!"
The other eunuchs all changed their expressions and kowtowed, begging Xiao Xian to let them go.
Xiao Xian stared at Little Li Zi with his hawk-like gaze. Little Li Zi stood up and calmly let the guards take him away.
After the interrogation, there was no result, and Xiao Xian felt somewhat frustrated.
When he returned to the Cining Palace, Qu Li had just finished examining the Empress Dowager. With a glance at him, he knew that the examination was not going well.
"Seventh cousin, have you found out?"
"No!" Xiao Xian touched the tip of his nose in dismay, glancing at Qu Li from the corner of his eye, "There is a guy named Xiao Lizi who has a sharp tongue."
"Which palace?"
"Yilan Palace, Yipin's people."
Qu Li frowned and sneered, "The one who controls the poisonous scorpion is from Concubine Xian's palace, and Little Li is from Concubine Yi's palace. They are both talented."
"Seventh cousin, didn't you say before that you wanted to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Changle felt that he was not particularly smart, so he simply did not get involved and just mentioned it in passing.
"Xiao Xian." Qu Li looked at Xiao Xian.
It was clearly just a natural glance, but the moment their eyes met, Xiao Xian felt an indescribable emotion suddenly growing in his heart, and his heart beat faster and faster.
"you say."
"I might have to change my plans temporarily."
"Well, as you wish!"
The two words were like the sound of jade and stone, and even Changle blushed when he heard them.
Qu Li's expression remained calm. She exhaled and warned in a serious tone, "This matter concerns the safety of the Empress Dowager, so please be serious."
Xiao Xian's expression immediately turned ugly. "I don't have any other intentions."
“It’s better not to!”
There was no way she would force herself to be a couple with Xiao Xian. To avoid trouble in the future, she simply made everything clear at the beginning and didn't give him any hope.
"My plan is this..."
Xiao Xian's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if the woman in front of him was surrounded by light, which made him intoxicated.
"Do you understand?" she asked.
"Um."
Qu Li was not bewitched by his gentle appearance at all. After explaining everything clearly, she went to discuss the relevant knowledge of the operation with Imperial Physician Tang.
Xiao Xian looked at Qu Li with deep eyes and a complicated mood.
Changle looked at his lonely profile, thinking about what Qu Li had said to her, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
After all, he was her seventh cousin. She hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"Do you regret it?"
Xiao Xian turned his eyes away, his eyes dim and unclear, "Children, don't meddle in adult affairs."
"Seventh cousin, if you keep talking about me like that, I'll really get angry! And the consequences of my anger are quite serious. Who knows, if I get carried away and hide something Seventh cousin's wife said, you won't even have a place to cry in the future!"
"Can you?"
Three words, extremely cold.
Changle snorted twice, "You can try! Mom said that if you like someone, you should work hard to fight for them and say it out loud."
"I know what's going on."
After saying that, he withdrew his gaze from Qu Li and walked away.
Changle sighed: "Emotions are so complicated!"
Qu Li came over and pinched her cheek.
She bared her teeth in a fierce and aggressive manner.
"What did you say to Xiao Xian?" Qu Li asked directly.
"What can I say? Of course I should tell my seventh cousin to open his eyes and treat you well."
"Changle, you should understand my heart!"
People's first impression is very important.
Xiao Xian pinched her neck, and his image in her heart was ruined. No matter what he did in the future or how he tried to make up for it, she would never forgive him.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything!" Changle obediently made a zippering gesture in front of his mouth.
"That's better!"
Night fell again. Inside the prison, several eunuchs sat on a pile of straw in frustration and fear.
Ever since Imperial Physician Liu learned the reason why these eunuchs were captured, he has been extremely excited.
He waited from noon for someone to come and release him, and waited until dark, when his hopes were completely dashed.
There were the sounds of footsteps, one after another, heavy and repetitive, like a death knell striking their hearts.
