C76 water diversion(1)

Lady Jia's Moon-Parasol Pavilion was located in the most remote corner of the palace. Outside of the courtyard was a row of tall parasol trees.

When Xiao Yi arrived, he saw that the yard was brightly lit and the sounds of laughter and chatter were light. Everyone had actually arrived.

Gu Qing Li sat in the upper seat, and there was an empty seat beside him, obviously reserved for him. Madam Jia stood below her, facing Liu Yanyu and Luo Yun.

"The prince is here." Gabriella got up to welcome him, and it seemed like she was not surprised at all.

Xiao Yixiu couldn't remember not seeing her for a few days. Seeing her wearing a long skirt that was embroidered with peach blossoms and Li Fangfei's jacket for some reason made him feel that she was quite eye-catching.

After looking up and down again, he realized that her makeup was quite decent and there was nothing wrong with it. She was still as dignified and charming as before, and there was a bit of expectation in her eyes, as if she was full of admiration for him.

He finally remembered what it was that made him feel so dazzled. It was that the red of her clothes was somewhat similar to Li Yue's crimson clothes.

"Next time, don't wear this."

Gabriella opened her beautiful eyes in confusion, not knowing what she had done wrong.

Luo Yun, on the other hand, was watching from the side. Her clear black and white eyes moved a few rounds before she softly chuckled, "Madam Jia, why does your outfit look so much like Miss Li Yue's?"

Gabrielle looked down at herself and finally understood what his taboo was. She bit her lower lip and returned to her seat without a word.

Seeing that his wife had been scolded, Yun'er hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please take a seat. Half of today's meal was cooked by our wife herself. Your highness, no matter what, must take a few more bites from her heart."

"Yes." Xiao Yi Xiu finally gave him some face.

Yun'er then hurriedly ordered the dishes to be served. Seeing that the expression in his eyes had faded, Gabriella did not dare to serve the dishes for him because she was not angry.

"Your Highness, try this … "And that …"

The dinner was peaceful and harmonious, except for Gu Qingli, who said nothing and ate very little. She couldn't be bothered to make friends with the others at the banquet, and only towards Liu Yanyu with a gentle expression.

The two of them occasionally responded with a few words, talking about Xiao Yixiu's condition. Liu Yanyu, on the other hand, spoke rather discreetly, as if it was inconvenient for his to reveal it.

Luo Yun's ears twitched. She had lowered her eyes, but she had heard everything.

"Senior brother, isn't Lady Li Yue arrogant?" Even now, the poison in your body has yet to be cleansed. " Luo Yun finally could not hold it in and lowered her head to whisper to Liu Yanyu.

Liu Yanyu looked around, his expression hesitating, but he still replied in a low voice, "Miss Li Yue said that if there's no accident, after a period of time, the poison should be completely removed with the help of the prescription. This matter cannot be publicized for the time being. "

It was no wonder that Gu Qingli had asked him this question. Even he hadn't answered her question, as if she hadn't fully understood her progress.

Eliminate all toxins... This was her goal, and it should have been a good thing, but why did she feel so uneasy? Luo Yun felt as if the delicious food in her mouth was biting on her tongue and had always felt that something was wrong.

She raised her head to take a peek and realized that Xiao Yixiu didn't seem to be happy at all when he answered his question in a distant manner. His heart skipped a beat as he realized that Xiao Yixiu didn't seem to be happy at all.

Luo Yun no longer had any reason to worry about staying at the Mo King's Manor after realizing that Xiao Yi Xiu's poison had all disappeared. However, shouldn't he be looking forward to getting rid of the poison as soon as possible? Why was there no joy?

"Thank you for your care, Young Master Liu. For my prince to have this day, Young Master Liu has done a great service." Madam Jia gave Liu Yanyu a toast with a smile. It seemed like she was just like Gu Qingli, trying to find out what was going on.

Liu Yanyu shook her head gently, "I've never been able to help you with anything. Even though I've tried my best, I've only slightly delayed his poison. Right now, only Miss Li Yue knows about his situation."

Gu Qingli said, "Sir Liu, you don't have to be modest. The hardest thing is your kind intentions." If it wasn't for the Valley of the Godly Doctor and your hard work, perhaps if your highness couldn't wait for Miss Li Yue, how can you say that you have no achievements at all? "

The two of them exchanged a few more polite words before suddenly realizing that they were the only two who were answering each other. Everyone's eyes were fixed on their faces.

Gu Qing Li cleared her throat and changed the topic. "Why hasn't Lady Li Yue come tonight?"

Gabriella replied, "Yun-er went to invite her, but she wasn't there."

Gu Qing Li pretended to nod, feeling a little regretful. "If Lady Li Yue was here, it would be even more lively."

"Miss Li Yue is an important guest. I have given her permission to come and go, and will not interfere in the least. In the future, there will be no need to invite her over to such an occasion."

Gu Qingli was wondering what he meant, when she heard him say, "She's never liked these worldly pleasures."

With these words, everyone present was demoted to commoners. It's fine if it's someone else, Luo Yun thought as she bit her lower lip. But in his heart, she was only a common woman? It was no wonder that Li Yue was the only person in his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a call from outside, "He went into the water." Water... "Where's Xiaoyao?"

Everyone's expressions changed as Windy rushed in, somewhat flustered. "Prince, someone's already gone over to Xiaoyao's garden where the water's been swimming!"

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi Xiu quickly got up, unable to maintain his composure. With a trace of anxiety in his eyes, he asked, "Where's Miss Li Yue?"

"She …" It doesn't seem to be in the medicine garden. "

Xiao Yixiu didn't say a word as he left his seat. The others naturally didn't have the mood to continue, so they each followed behind him.

The fire in Xiaoyao's bed started in the wooden house. After all, that house was made of logs, making it easy to catch fire.

Liu Suifeng followed the wind and directed his men to draw water to extinguish the fire. There were two large vats outside the wooden house. Usually, the vats were used to store water to water the medicinal plants. It was just right for them to extinguish the fire.

Fortunately, he found the fire early and didn't suffer too much of a loss. The herbs in the herb garden weren't affected by the fire either, so he followed the wind and asked about the situation. When he came over to report, the fire was caused by an oil lamp inside the house, and the cat called Miao'er jumped onto the table and kicked the oil lamp over, causing the accident.

Gabriella patted her chest: "Luckily we didn't lose any herbs."

Liu Yanyu's expression was solemn as he exchanged a glance with Luo Yun. Luo Yun then said with an angry expression, "It looks like there isn't much loss, but the shelves of medicine in the hut are filled with herbs that have been prepared. There are dried, vinegar, ginger, and alcohol … How could it be useful after being poured with fire fighting water? Do not think that only a great fire can burn all the medicinal herbs, and water will still be destroyed. "

He could not help but feel embarrassed, and he thought of an important matter. He heard that the last two medicinal herbs that could cure the King's poison had been found, but the medicinal herbs were so rare that it was likely that they would not be found in the entire East Abyss … His face went white.

It was obvious that Liu Yanyu's eyes were filled with worry because of this thought. Only Gu Qingli remained calm and collected. She knew very well that the two pills were so hard to come by. How could they possibly be placed in a wooden house that was devoid of guards at night, when the sun never set? If this fire was intentional, then it was because of those two medicines …

"Prince …" Suifeng looked at Xiao Yixiu hesitantly. He knew his master well, how could he not think of this?

However, Xiao Yi Xiu remained calm as he replied, "It's good that Miss Li Yue is not here."

"It's all the fault of that darned cat!" When Suifeng thought of that cat, he felt unlucky. The cat had been raised by Xin Ziyao earlier, so the woman was not a good person. Afterwards, when people died, the cat would stay in the mansion. Other than Li Yue, who would sometimes feed it, no one cared about it.

Just as he was cursing that darned cat, he saw a guard from the Palace of Hua-Yang rushing over, saying that he had let that darned cat run away.

Xiao Yi Xiu waved his hand. Naturally, he was disdainful of making a fuss over a cat. So what if that cat had committed a heinous crime? Could it be that he wanted to vent his anger by killing an animal?

"Send someone to find Lady Li Yue."

"Did you hear that? Even if you want to turn over the capital, you have to bring Miss Li Yue back tonight." Suifeng was feeling anxious, it was clear that it was for those two medicines.
