The apology was low and short, but it soon drifted in the wind as if Gu Qingli was hallucinating.
Xiao Yi Xiu didn't really suspect her, but his words were uncontrollable and full of sarcasm. It was as if a hole had been opened in his heart just by thinking of her previous actions.
He was silent for a long time, but his tone remained cold. "Can't you be a good girl and be an obedient princess?"
"You like obedient people, weren't the former Xin Wei Fei and the current Madam Jia enough to be obedient? "Oh, if you find them to be spies placed by your side, then go and accept some of the official family's daughters. With your identity and appearance, Prince Mo, there are many obedient young ladies. Not to mention the distant ones, there are Luo Yun and Yun Yi Ge nearby …"
"Is wangfei jealous?"
Gu Qingli suddenly realized that her tone wasn't right, so she stopped and was a bit embarrassed and annoyed.
He felt her body slowly soften, as if she was about to compromise. Her tone also became softer, "As for Ah Yan, treat it as if we are even. In the future, don't ever see him alone again."
Gu Qingli didn't say anything, but in her heart she was thinking, 'So if he says it, she'll have to listen?' No.
He did not hear her answer, nor did he continue speaking. He ran his hand along her shoulder.
Gu Qingli was in a bit of a daze, ignoring the cold feeling on her neck. She didn't even feel the soft breath on the back of her neck.
It was only when she felt the cool softness of his shoulder that she regained her senses. A dangerous aura followed.
"Prince …" Her voice was rough.
"This King will give you the antidote tomorrow to completely remove the poison in your body."
She was stunned. Was this considered showing goodwill to her?
"I know that you are unwilling to deal with Xiao Yi Bei's matter."
He sounded like he wanted to compromise. Gu Qingli felt like laughing when she heard this. Just what did she think the crown prince had done to her?
It was obvious that this matter lingered in his heart, and his doubts were never dispelled. However, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that she was able to swim, but he still recklessly jumped into the water. Was it because he was afraid that she would be humiliated and he couldn't bear it?
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his collarbone. He had actually taken a bite.
She took a deep breath. "Are you sick? Abuse? "
He clenched his teeth and kissed her all the way down. He exerted a little strength in his fingers and squeezed her skin until it hurt.
The robe on her body was completely torn off, and her breathing had started to quicken. She started trembling, and her hand subconsciously reached under the pillow, but all she found was empty.
Suddenly, a hand came out and covered the back of her hand. His voice was slightly hoarse. "You're still thinking of using those needles to deal with Ben Wang?"
"How many needles did Xiao Yi Bei take from you?"
Gu Qingli finally couldn't help curling her lips, but the sense of danger had lessened a bit. "No …" He didn't have time to eat. "
"He didn't touch you?" His movements became sluggish, obviously surprised.
"He only touched my arm …"
Before he could finish his words, he had already grabbed his hand. He rubbed his lips a few times and suddenly took a bite.
"Hiss …" "Not this hand." At the same time, he quickly retracted his other hand and pressed it under his body. His eyes were filled with a crafty smile.
Xiao Yi Xiu bent over her, a smile spreading across his face.
Only when she was Li Yue could she see this sort of gentle smile in this person's cold face and heart.
The two blurry figures in his mind gradually overlapped, making it difficult to distinguish them clearly. He lowered his head and kissed her, moving his hand over her lips. His hand moved down along her collarbone, causing her to wince.
But at this time, she still had some sense. Only she and Xiao Yixiu knew about the hidden needles beneath her pillow, but it wasn't as if no one could do anything to them. After what happened last time, it was he who had Yu Ying hide the needle in advance. He had always been on guard against her.
Suddenly, a shrill cry pierced through the night sky outside the window, as if it was the cry of an infant that had changed its tune.
The two of them simultaneously regained their senses and looked outside. Only then did they realize that it had started to rain. The sky was dark and the stars and moon were dark.
"It's a cat meowing. It's coming from the small herb garden." Gu Qingli felt that there was something wrong with this cat cry.
Although it was spring and the cat's heart was beating fast, and the cat's cries were really mournful, this sound seemed to have been forcefully cut off by someone.
Something had happened to Li Yue! This was Xiao Yi Xiu's first reaction.
He sat up in his dressing gown at an astonishing speed and left without a word, even slamming the door behind him.
Gu Qing Li sat on the blanket in a daze for a long time. It was only when her body felt cold that she gradually regained her senses.
He had clearly been moved just now, and at that moment her mind was in a mess. She didn't know what she was thinking, if she continued to develop, it might be possible for her to fake it. Was he worried that the arsonist would commit another crime, or that something might go wrong with his antidote?
This person had always been terrifyingly rational. No one knew what he was thinking.
The wind blew at the door that was wide open to the end and the rain poured in from the eaves. No one could see the pair of eyes in the darkness that were red with jealousy as they stared at Gu Qingli who was in a mess.
When Gu Qing Li was done putting on his clothes and rushing over, the black jade body with its bloody skin still hung on a branch not far from the medicine garden.
She subconsciously bit her lower lip and took a deep breath, suppressing the soreness that was rising to her throat. After her previous life's training, she understood that any violent emotional fluctuation would be used by others, and it would also be easy for them to deceive her.
She had kept this cat for a few months. She thought that it was the only creature in the Prince Mo's mansion that held no ill intentions towards her. In the end, it was hanged on a tree branch and died a horrible death.
Xiao Yixiu stood not too far away, looking up at the cat. Suifeng held up an oil-paper umbrella for him, his body completely drenched. Behind him were a few scattered bodyguards.
In the rain, the vision was poor. Just by searching the area within a radius of 100 feet with the cry of a cat, he only discovered that it wasn't too far away.
"Who did it?"
Xiao Yixiu didn't seem to notice Gu Qing Li's arrival, he could only calmly look around and ask.
The guards of the manor looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Although they had chased after the cat when the fire broke out, but after all, the prince didn't give any more orders, so who would still be interested in chasing after a cat? Moreover, they couldn't force anything out of its mouth.
"Your Royal Highness, this matter … It's not very important, is it? "It's raining heavily at night, let's check again tomorrow." It was just a dead cat. The blood was strange, but it was not worth the trouble.
Xiao Yi Xiu raised his eyes to look at it. The dead cat's body had been penetrated by the tree branches. The rain fell on it and fresh blood dripped down, making it look even more sinister and terrifying under the dim light of the ox-skin lantern.
"Do you think that a dead cat is unworthy of attention? This is the Prince Mo's Mansion, and this cat evidently doesn't know how to skin herself after committing suicide — someone dared to do such a thing in the Prince Mo's Mansion. Tell this king, what is your intention? "
The person who spoke immediately went silent.
