There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Qu Li said.
But to Bai Fengyao, who had always dreamed of becoming Prince Chen's principal wife, it sounded like a knife cutting her ears.
Qu Li secretly admired Bai Fengyao's look of hating her to the core but being helpless against her, and she felt very happy.
"As for why we want to keep Caihe..."
She dragged out the tone and smiled meaningfully.
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes.
Since that rainy night, Qu Li seemed like a different person.
It's still her, but it seems not to be her.
While waiting for her to come to Yaoyuan, he was also wondering why Qu Li came so easily and left her maid behind.
Qu Li raised his eyebrows, "Guess!"
These two words full of mischief made Bai Fengyao almost bite her teeth to pieces. She looked at Xiao Xian with eyes full of grievance and accusation.
Xiao Xian asked, "Why exactly?"
Qu Li sat down with a swagger.
Cui Liu was annoyed: "Princess, the prince didn't ask you to sit down!"
"How dare you! You don't know the rules!" Qu Li's eyes suddenly became sharp. "The master is talking, and you, a maid, dare to interrupt casually?"
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Cui Liu shuddered violently, opened her mouth, and knelt down again in front of Xiao Xian.
"Your Majesty, I am only worried about Concubine Bai."
Since the prince arrived, he has not shown any concern for Concubine Bai, nor has he rushed out to question the princess.
In addition, they had just flirted in front of Concubine Bai. She stood up for Concubine Bai and took advantage of Xiao Xian's sympathy for Concubine Bai to do the following rebellious thing.
Bai Fengyao suppressed the bitterness and resentment in her heart and said weakly: "Your Majesty, Cui Liu is just worried about me, please don't punish her!"
As he spoke, he tried to get up.
Qu Li admired her extremely weak appearance, which was also affected by the consideration of the master-servant relationship, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
How did she abandon Shaoyao? If Cuiliu had any brains, she would not continue to be so loyal!
"What are you doing? Doctor Mu has told you not to move at all and not to have any extreme emotional fluctuations, otherwise it will easily damage your heart and lungs." Xiao Xian stopped her.
"Your Majesty..."
Bai Fengyao's eyes were filled with tears and she looked aggrieved.
"Qu Li, why do you want to stay with Caihe?" Xiao Xian frowned, his face as dark as ink.
"Caihe, raise your hands!" Qu Li ordered.
Caihe's expression suddenly changed several times and her breathing became disordered.
She didn't move at all, and her right hand was still tightly gripping her left wrist.
This strange behavior made Xiao Xian even more angry.
"Lift it up!"
Two words came crashing down on Caihe's face.
She bit her lip and raised her hands as if in a slow motion movie.
"Although the water content of this bracelet is not very good, it is not something that an ordinary maid like her can afford! The only possibility is..." Qu Li said slowly.
"This bracelet belongs to Concubine Bai! I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. I didn't expect it to be in her hands!"
Cui Liu was afraid that Qu Li would reveal the fact that Bai Fengyao bribed Cai He, so she interrupted again without any manners.
Not to mention Qu Li, even Xiao Xian's face turned ashen.
When she met Xiao Xian's sharp eyes, her heart began to beat violently.
"Cui Liu, why are you so rude?"
Bai Fengyao scolded him, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Qu Li was really beyond her expectation. She didn't expect that just a bracelet would make Qu Li guess that she had bribed Cai He a long time ago!
"Since she's so unruly, let me teach her a lesson about the rules of Prince Chen's Mansion!"
This time, Qu Li had no intention of letting Cui Liu go.
Bai Fengyao's left arm has already been broken, this time, she doesn't mind breaking her right arm!
Cui Liu was panic-stricken and turned to look at Bai Fengyao.
"Concubine Bai..."
"Your Highness, according to the rules of Prince Chen's Mansion, any servant who commits rebellion or disrespects the master will be slapped in the face, right?" Qu Li asked Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian nodded.
Qu Li's gaze fell directly on Cui Liu's face. "Do you want to slap yourself, or do you want me to slap you?"
Cui Liu's lips were trembling.
Now Qu Li holds the prince's jade pendant, and the entire palace obeys her orders.
She heard that not only did she leave the house today, but before leaving, she also asked all the maids and servants to destroy the flower garden behind Qinghe Garden, and asked Guangping to buy some vegetable seeds and medicinal seeds for her.
If she really used the jade pendant to let someone punish her, her face would probably be ruined.
"Have you thought about it?"
Qu Li would not be merciful to her at all, nor would he give her any time to think and weigh the pros and cons.
"I'll go outside by myself." Cui Liu's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and she went outside reluctantly.
“Snap—”
Qu Li frowned and glanced at Bai Fengyao with a half-smile: "Is Concubine Bai being too harsh on the maidservants around her? Why do they look like they haven't had enough to eat?"
Bai Fengyao glared at her.
At this moment, she completely forgot about Doctor Mu's instructions.
The price of being angry was that the poison that had been sealed with silver needles by Doctor Mu quickly rushed to the heart and lungs.
She felt as if her heart was hit hard by a heavy hammer, followed by a burst of pain.
Cui Liu was so frightened that she had to increase her strength.
The slap landed on her face with all the force, and her facial features wrinkled up in pain.
Many servants passing by Yaoyuan heard the crisp sound of slaps and unconsciously slowed down their pace and took a few secret glances.
Caihe felt happy, but also nervous.
The princess knew that Cui Liu had betrayed her master just by looking at a bracelet, and Cui Liu's face was now swollen like a pig's head. No one knew what punishment was waiting for her.
“Ahem…”
Bai Fengyao's blood boiled and she actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
Doctor Mu hurried forward to give Bai Fengyao acupuncture, and asked his apprentice to bring the prepared medicine over.
Xiao Xian was very disappointed with Bai Fengyao.
Before she entered Prince Chen's Mansion, she was considerate, non-competitive, and as calm as a lotus. She always had an ethereal and otherworldly aura about her.
It was this kind of person who repeatedly did the dirty things that disgusted him!
Bai Fengyao could feel the change in Xiao Xian's attitude towards her.
However, she blamed all of this on Qu Li.
Qu Li must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!
