Eunuch Fu hunched his body and stood silently beside Emperor Kang.
It is said that emperors are ruthless, but Emperor Kang left his heart on Concubine Rong. It's just that beauty is envied by heaven, and such a wonderful person was buried in this cruel palace!
Everyone said that Concubine Rong died of complications during childbirth, but Emperor Kang knew that the Queen was behind it.
If the Queen had not frequently sent supplements to Concubine Rong, how could Concubine Rong lose her life during childbirth?
"Go and have a look!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Fu withdrew his wandering thoughts and secretly glanced at Emperor Kang.
The emperor's thoughts were unpredictable, so he could only hold his nerves and try not to speak.
At this time, Xiao Xian and Qu Li had already pushed open the door of the cabin. When Xiao Xian saw the torn painting on the ground, the temperature of his body dropped to freezing point.
Qu Li frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
Catching a glimpse of the embroidered shoes behind the table, she hurried forward in two steps.
"Changle?"
She held a silver needle in her hand and pricked Changle twice. Changle's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
"hiss--"
Changle held the back of his neck and looked into Qu Li's eyes, which were filled with concern, with a confused look on his face: "Seventh cousin?"
"What brings you here?"
"I get angry whenever I mention this!" Changle puffed up her cheeks and sat up angrily. "I was going to pick flowers for the Empress Dowager in the Imperial Garden, but before I even got there, someone hit me from behind with a club!"
"Did you see who it was?"
Changle shook his head and looked around again, "Where is this place?"
"A small wooden house in the backyard of Laiyi Palace!"
"Seventh cousin, where do you say this is?!" Changle's pupils trembled, and the blood color on his face completely disappeared.
Qu Li looked at her deeply and said, "Don't worry! When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth!"
Just as she had calmed Changle down, she heard Xiao Xian say with a gloomy face, "This is a portrait of my mother, painted by my father himself! He treasures it very much!"
The person behind this is extremely vicious.
If she and Xiao Xian had not found this place today, Changle would have been severely punished by Emperor Kang.
She had previously beaten and killed two palace maids. Considering that Changle was the only daughter of the Grand Princess, Emperor Kang might not necessarily take Changle's life, but he would definitely not let her off easily.
In this way, the Grand Princess will inevitably have a rift with Emperor Kang. At that time, the person behind the scenes can take advantage of the situation and use the portrait of Concubine Rong to sow discord between them, and then make the Grand Princess hate Xiao Xian as well!
But now she and Xiao Xian have found this place. No matter what the reason, the portrait is destroyed, which will make Emperor Kang angry.
What a good plan!
Xiao Xian's ears moved, "Someone is coming."
Changle didn't care about the pain in the back of his neck at this time. He jumped up, grabbed Qu Li and prepared to run out.
"Seventh cousin, let's run quickly before anyone comes!"
"The other party is very deliberate and will definitely not be able to escape!" Qu Li said with certainty.
Changle bit her lip, her eyes filled with regret: "Then you and your seventh cousin go first. After all, I am the emperor's niece. For mother's sake, he probably won't punish me severely!"
The more she spoke, the less confident she became.
Her protection made Qu Li feel warm in his heart. He smiled and shook Changle's hand, comforting her, "There is a way! Trust me."
Those eyes, distinctly black and white, were sparkling and had a magical power that could soothe people's hearts, and they actually calmed the panicked Changle down slowly.
Xiao Xian said, "I will go out and hold my father back. You two should find a place to hide first."
Qu Li glanced at the portrait on the ground, then at the ink on the desk, and said, "Take Changle away from here first! Although there must be people watching around, I think, with your ability, taking Changle away is not a problem."
Changle refused: "Let's go together!"
Qu Li's expression turned cold: "Don't be willful!"
This was the first time Qu Li scolded her, and Changle sniffed in grievance.
Xiao Xian looked at her deeply: "I can take you away."
Qu Li bent down and picked up the painting on the ground. "Whether the painting is lost or destroyed, the emperor will investigate thoroughly. In the end, under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, Changle will definitely be implicated! You take Changle away first. I have a plan!"
"Seventh cousin..." Changle choked, his eyes red like a rabbit.
"You'll be causing me trouble if you stay." Qu Li smiled and looked at Xiao Xian.
"Let's go!" Xiao Xian looked serious and pulled Changle away.
After the two walked out of the wooden house, Xiao Xian closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the atmosphere around him, then he led away the people who were following him secretly, chose a remote place, jumped onto the palace wall with Changle, and left Laiyi Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager wants you to go to the Cining Palace!" A young eunuch stepped forward hurriedly.
Emperor Kang narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell my mother I'll be there in a moment!"
The young eunuch bowed and stepped aside, waiting for Emperor Kang to move to the Cining Palace. However, Emperor Kang went straight to the Laiyi Hall.
"emperor--"
The young eunuch was about to step forward again, but was stopped by Eunuch Fu's glare.
In the dark, Xiao Xian's frown deepened. He felt that it would not be easy to get over this hurdle today. He only hoped that Qu Li could really solve everything.
The closer he got to Laiyi Hall, the colder the aura emanating from Emperor Kang became.
"Open the door!"
"Father!" Xiao Xian came out.
Kangdi narrowed his eyes, "Aren't you looking for Changle with Qu Li?"
"I've searched a lot of places, but this is the only place I haven't found yet."
"Ah Xian, you should know that no one except me, not even you, can enter here casually!"
"I know! Everyone in this palace naturally knows too!"
"If Changle is really here, what are you going to do?"
