Bai Fengyao was bewildered.
Let her help clean up the back garden?
"What? Concubine Bai doesn't want to?" Qu Li's face had completely darkened.
Bai Fengyao clenched her fingers, her mind racing.
No matter what, Qu Li is the main wife, so as a concubine, she naturally has to obey whatever the main wife says.
The prince's attitude towards Qu Li has become increasingly unclear recently. If the prince saw her bullying her like this...
"Of course I am not unwilling."
Qu Li raised his eyebrows: "Then let's start from today!"
Bai Fengyao nodded reluctantly.
When she arrived at the back garden and looked at the bare ground, her forehead ached sharply.
Although the sun is not strong enough, I still feel dizzy after standing in the sun for a long time.
She directed the maids and servants to turn the soil, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
A maid handed her a handkerchief and said, "Concubine Bai, wipe your face."
Bai Fengyao was not worried that Qu Li would attack her in Qinghe Garden. She didn't think much about it, took the handkerchief and wiped her face.
Cool and comfortable!
It was not until the sun set that Bai Fengyao let everyone go back.
Xiao Xian, who had originally said that he would go to the military camp tonight, suddenly appeared in Qinghe Garden.
A huge joy surged in Bai Fengyao's heart.
The prince must have known about Qu Li's torture of her!
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao Xian just glanced at her indifferently and then walked quickly towards Qu Li.
Bai Fengyao was extremely disappointed and looked at his receding back with sad eyes.
"Did you encounter a killer today?"
Qu Li frowned slightly.
"Care about me?"
Only then did Xiao Xian feel that he was indeed a little strange.
The reason why he married her in the first place was because he had no choice, and he was not happy about it.
She injured him with a silver needle, causing him to suffer from unspeakable pain until now.
Logically speaking, he should be cold and disgusted with her.
Why did he lose control of his legs and rush back when he heard Guangping say that she had met a killer today and was injured?
"Someone dared to touch anyone from Prince Chen's Mansion. This is a provocation to me!"
Qu Li curled her red lips indifferently, "People from Shadow Pavilion!"
She could guess that Bai Fengyao was the mastermind behind this, and with Xiao Xian's ability, it would not be difficult to verify it.
She has hundreds of ways to kill Bai Fengyao, but she wants to watch Bai Fengyao suffer a fate worse than death!
What she cares about is her reputation, Xiao Xian, and the position of the queen... She will let them lose it bit by bit!
Xiao Xian frowned deeply: "Shadow Pavilion?"
"Zou Tao only found out about the Shadow Pavilion. As for who hired the killer..." Qu Li glanced meaningfully at Bai Fengyao, who was hiding in the shadows with an unwilling look on her face. "I really can't find out."
"I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Thank you!"
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qu Li raised his star-like eyes and said with a smile: "It's already late, don't keep my beauty waiting too long!"
Her eyes were calm, not acting at all.
The inexplicable sense of loss in Xiao Xian's heart surged up again, and he raised his voice, "Send Concubine Bai back to Yaoyuan first!"
Bai Fengyao opened her mouth in surprise.
Is he going to stay overnight in Qinghe Garden?
"Your Majesty, I am willing to stay and take care of my sister, the princess!"
A hint of amusement appeared in Qu Li's eyes, and Xiao Xian's pupils narrowed.
"I wasn't frightened at all, just slightly injured. Prince Chen, please take your beloved back with you!"
After saying that, she turned and went into the inner hall.
Throughout the whole process, there was no showmanship and no nostalgia!
Xiao Xian felt a dull pain in his chest, as if a huge lead ball was blocking his chest.
He looked at the door, but finally closed his eyes and turned away.
Bai Fengyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him walk away.
Xiao Xian suddenly stopped, and she bumped into his back without noticing, causing a sore feeling in her nose.
"Didn't you say you would stay and take care of Qu Li?"
Bai Fengyao was stunned, her mouth slightly open, but she couldn't make a sound.
Under the dim light, Xiao Xian's eyes were unusually sharp, and Bai Fengyao felt awkward as if he saw through her.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Xiao Xian scoffed: "You're just talking!"
"Your Highness, it's not like that! I am just... just..."
"Okay, let's go back to Yaoyuan!"
Xiao Xian entered the study, and Guangping stood quietly by, listening to Zou Tao talk about the situation at that time.
"A man wearing a mask?" Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The air in the study seemed to have frozen.
"Guangping, please help me pass the invitation to the Shadow Pavilion Master."
"My Lord, is this inappropriate?"
"Do as you're told!" Xiao Xian's eyes were sharp. "When can we find that young waiter?"
"I will bring the person here in a moment."
The candle flame flickered, the wick exploded, and Guangping threw a waiter in front of Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the young waiter opposite him who was trembling with fear.
"Guangping."
"I'm here!"
"How is this king like him, huh?"
"Your Highness, I think the point of this rumor is not that the young man resembles you, but that the princess and the young man are having an affair!"
This is clearly an attempt to throw dirty water on the princess and humiliate her reputation.
"Your Highness, please spare my life!" The young waiter came back to his senses and kowtowed continuously, and soon his forehead became red and swollen.
"If someone came to you recently and asked you to testify against someone, would you know what to do?"
Xiao Xian leaned forward, his eyes dark and gloomy, all the pressure of a superior bursting out.
