C82 Leave East Abyss

Gu Qingli was silently frying medicine and fanning herself, her mind a little distracted.

"When a person has more things to hide in his heart, he'll feel tired. If Miss Li Yue has anything to say, you can tell me."

Liu Yanyu's gentle voice rang out.

Gu Qing Li suddenly raised his head. His pupils were rather light brown, gentle and clear, causing one's heart to feel at peace. Unlike Xiao Yixiu and Gentle Snow, he was always calm and collected.

"I'm just a bit worried about the efficacy of this recipe."

Liu Yanyu shook his head. "I've never seen Miss Li Yue lose confidence. From the moment you started examining your pulse, you have a 90% confidence that the poison in your prince's body will be effective. "

Gu Qing Li was unable to answer. He stood up impatiently, "There's still one more moment before the medicine is ready. I'll have to trouble Young Master Liu to personally deliver it to the prince. I'll be leaving first."

"Is Miss Li Yue planning to leave the manor after the prince's poison is resolved?" Liu Yanyu's eyes lit up strangely.

"Yes."

"Rather than living in a temple, why not travel far in the martial world? Miss Li Yue, are you interested in following me back to the Valley of the Divine Doctor? Master looks up to you and wholeheartedly wants to ask you for guidance … "

Now that Liu Yanyu had brought up the matter again, she thought about it. Luo Qingyun's medical skills might not be as good as hers, but it was good for her to improve her medical skills. Since this Valley Master had no respect for her, she was willing to make friends with him.

"Alright."

Liu Yanyu's smile blossomed into a smile as gentle as spring water.

Gu Qingli's mind was in a mess, so she didn't know what he meant. She returned to Feng Lingxuan with a heavy heart, but before she could even change her clothes, she heard knocking on the door with an anxious and messy rhythm.

Gu Qingli was so shocked that she quickly took off her clothes and veil. While changing her clothes, she asked, "Who is it?"

"Fifth Sister!"

Gu Qingli made up her mind and told him to wait outside. She had never had any visitors, so she was always free to go in and out. She didn't expect that Xiao Yiyan would visit her twice in the future. It seemed that it would be too easy to be exposed, so she had to find a way to get rid of her identity as Li Yue.

Opening the door, Xiao Yiyan grabbed her shoulders in a panic, looking her up and down as if something had happened to her.

Gu Qingli was confused by his actions, so she quickly looked around, afraid that Yu Ying or Yurei would catch a glimpse of his improper actions. The two maidservants, one with unpredictable thoughts, the other with evil intentions, were not to be trusted.

"Well, Prince Chen, can't you just mind the situation?" "You are my uncle, and I am my sister-in-law. It is not proper for your fifth imperial brother to see it."

Hsiao Yiyan let go of her and went inside to sit down.

Gu Qingli discovered that his face was ashen. Her amorous eyes were no longer as amorous as before, only filled with worry and concern. She hesitated for a moment before closing the door. She didn't call the maidservant for tea as she walked to the opposite side of the room and sat down.

"I heard something happened to the Prince's Mansion last night?"

"Xiaoyao, take a walk in the water and ruin some herbs." Prince Chen should ask your fifth brother about this. As it is about his health, you should go and say something about it. "

"I heard that he was neither alarmed nor anxious, so it should have no effect on his health. This King doesn't need to be concerned."

On the other hand, Xiao Yiyan had seen through everything and accurately determined that the precious ingredients weren't lost. His ashen expression wasn't caused by the fire in Xiaoyao's garden or his concern for Xiao Yixiu.

Gu Qingli was even more astonished as she tilted her head to look at him, her eyes filled with doubt.

Xiao Yiyan wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing that she was still staring at him with an innocent look, he couldn't help but ask: "I heard that he spent the night here?"

Gu Qingli opened her mouth. This sort of private matter only lasted for a night before it reached Xiao Yiyan's ears. Could it be that the empress's spies weren't limited to just Xin Ziyao and the other two? Impossible, there's no one else in the records of Xuanhua Pavilion...

"I'm asking Suifeng!"

Gu Qingli choked. With such a big mouth like Suifeng, how come she didn't see that he had talent for long tongues? She gave a hollow laugh. "About this …" [That is not something I should ask about. Besides, how bad do you think my relationship with the king is?] It seems like he shouldn't have … "

She was unable to continue.

Xiao Yiyan blurted out, "Didn't you never get along with him before? "Could it be that last night, you all …"

Gu Qingli's expression changed as well. She abruptly stood up and said with a cold expression, "Prince Chen, do you think you should ask something like that?"

"Why can't This King ask? There's only Miss Li Yue in his heart, but I don't believe you don't know! "

Gu Qing Li froze in place, speechless for a long time.

It was true that when she had appeared as Li Yue, Xiao Yixiu had treated her with utmost respect, even with his gentle expression, which had often confused her. However, she had always thought that it was simply gratitude towards Li Yue, or perhaps just a play because of a request.

She refused to dwell on his feelings for Li Yue.

Xiao Yiyan's sharp words suddenly pierced through the window paper in her heart. There was a sharp ray of sunlight that penetrated into her heart. It was so strong that she didn't even dare to look straight at it.

Come with me. I know that you have no feelings for him, and you cannot leave the palace because you are afraid that his power will spread throughout the East Abyss and you will not be able to escape in the end. But I can bring you away from the East Abyss and his inescapable net …

Gu Qingli once again shook off his hand that was supporting her shoulders. "Do you know what you call picking a corner? As your uncle who seduced your eldest sister-in-law and your closest brother, how can you be worthy of him? "

I respect him, I love him, and I have always admired and respected him since young. Although I don't hope to become a god of war like him one day, I have always believed him to be a flawless person, until … I know you. "

"What does that have to do with me?"

He spoke slowly, "I never knew that he was such a heartless person. He imprisoned you in the Prince's Mansion but treated you coldly. Let me ask you, does he still have a corner in his heart that belongs to you, the main wife? You still want him to touch you in this situation? "

Gu Qingli didn't know what to say.

"Come with me. Would you like to go to the Southern Moon, Northern Chu, or Western Beings? "I don't need to be a prince. You can be a free Gu Qingli, not Fifth Brother's caged bird."

If his words from before had made Gu Qing Li somewhat embarrassed and angry, then these two sentences had really moved her heart. She bit her lower lip, hesitating.

To use Xiao Yiyan's status as a prince to leave Dongyuan was indeed a stable path. Although she had previously promised Liu Yanyu that he would go to the Valley of the Gods as Li Yue, it was still better for his to leave the Eastern Abyss for a safer environment.

But why... In the past, he had wanted to leave the manor. Now, he really had a chance to leave safely, but he still hesitated?

"You can leave now. Let me think about it."

"Consider?" Xiao Yiyan thought for a moment, and restrained himself from continuing to persuade him. After all, she had already let his guard down, and was no longer as agitated as before.
