It turned out that she was also trying to shake off the shadow guard from the Mo King's Manor.
Gu Qingli silently thought, she didn't know if she would be able to get rid of him as cleanly as she wished. However, those shadow guards probably wouldn't spend too much time and effort on following her. This little girl was very cunning and crafty. She wanted to shake off a few people who didn't pay much attention to her.
"Miss Luo knows that the person who wants to be treated this time is no ordinary person. In addition to excellent medical skills, he also needs to keep his mouth sealed. If he can't do it …"
"The Valley Master of the Divine Doctor, Luo Qingyun, is my father." Luo Yun arrogantly smiled, "As for keeping it a secret, I have my limits."
"That's good. When the time comes, there will be someone to guide you to treat your benefactor's illness. However, you will have to make it difficult for Miss. You will have to cover your eyes the entire process, and you will not be able to see anything."
Luo Yun was a little taken aback. "Can the doctors help us out? If we can't even see the patient face to face, how can we talk about 'hope'?"
"This is something that Miss Luo has to settle. This King is unable to help."
Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, "Then, if Your Highness agrees to my request, is it possible to accomplish it?"
"Tell me about it."
Luo Yun looked around and Xiao Yi Mo understood immediately. He waved his hand and said, "All of you, go down."
Gu Qingli didn't expect to be thrown out at such a critical moment and couldn't help but be disappointed. However, two of Xiao Yi Mo's subordinates had already left. It was impossible for her to stay, so she could only slowly walk out after the girls left.
She walked slowly, listening attentively as she walked. Relying on her superior hearing, she could faintly hear Luo Yun's soft voice, "... To make... Broken Voices … "We can't …"
Xiao Yi Mo's voice was a little louder than Luo Yun's, and he said calmly, "Isn't this a little too much? Does Miss Luo have a grudge with him? "
"Shh …" Luo Yun was obviously wary of the wall and forbade him from speaking any further.
Gu Qingli wanted to continue listening, but one of the people in front of her noticed her slow footsteps with her head lowered. He shouted, "Hurry up!"
Helpless, she could only go downstairs.
Who did Luo Yun want to ruin her reputation for? So much so that she saved Hun Yimo? What kind of patient did Huyi Mo want her to treat? She had to be blindsided along the way. She couldn't even see the patient?
Things were becoming more and more interesting. Gu Qingli was now very happy to sit on the sidelines and watch the fierce battle. However, she couldn't help but ponder as she watched from the sidelines.
After making a trip to Xuanhua Tower, she asked Xiao Yiyan a few more questions. The only thing she found out was that the Imperial Examinations had been stolen, involving a large number of examinees who were willing to buy the exam questions with silver coins. The most serious ones were the examiners who were skipping questions and selling them, as well as some officials of different ranks in the Ministry of Rites.
The person who set the question was a Scholar of the Han Forest Academy, who presided over the Minister of Rites, and the ones who were involved in skipping the question were all in a precarious situation. As for those who bought the exam questions and brought them into the examination hall, they would be disqualified from taking the Imperial Examinations for three years. The next step was to deal with the question setting officials who had leaked the exam information.
"Then what will happen to the Minister of Rites' Assistant Minister?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Minister of Rites, as the one presiding over the Imperial Examinations, will be executed after the Three Divisions have interrogated him."
Gu Qingli took a deep breath. She didn't know much about how strict the enforcement of laws in feudal society was. From what Warm Fragrance had said, wasn't Gabriella's father going to be executed? However, she hadn't come forward to beg Xiao Yi Xiu for so long. Could it be that she didn't know anything?
Gu Qingli returned to the palace with doubts in her mind. She hadn't even gone to find Gabriella yet when she saw the uninvited guest in her courtyard — the King of Chen, Xiao Yiyan, whom she had been asking about today had become her guest. She was making tea in the clouds, deep in thought.
It was the first time that Xiao Yiyan had seen such a calm and serious Xiao Yiyan, someone who was used to seeing his young and innocent appearance.
"Fifth Sister!" Without waiting for her to speak, he had already heard her breathing. He put down the teacup and walked over. His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and the sentimental light no longer existed. There was only a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Prince Chen."
He sighed. "When will you be able to treat me with less respect?"
"Even my prince is treated with such respect! Don't tell me this isn't the proper royal etiquette?" She raised her eyebrows. Actually, she was too lazy to be courteous and upright. However, with the strict hierarchy of the feudal dynasty, there was no room for her to be impudent.
Xiao Yiyan shook his head as if he didn't know what to say, and said: "I haven't had the time to come visit you in a long time, have you been well?"
She didn't answer, but asked a question instead, "What is Prince Chen doing?"
"Recently, you've been investigating the case under the name of Envoy Qin. This is a matter of the government, so there's no need to ask about it, Fifth Sister."
"But isn't the science exam related to the Ministry of Rites?" "Madam Jia's father is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Your highness has come to visit, aren't you worried that someone will criticize you?"
"I'm not going to see Madame Jia! "In order to avoid suspicion, I didn't even look at fifth brother." He curled his lips, and his always smiling face also became reserved, as if there was something unhappy going on.
"You've already entered the palace, who cares if you've met Madam Jia or not." Knowing that there must be a reason for his bad mood, Gu Qingli decided to change the topic even further. She was truly a little afraid that he would bring up the matter of him leaving the Eastern Abyss again.
She had been depressed lately, and she was afraid she might waver if he brought it up again.
"Fifth sister-in-law, I'm here to see you. Why are you always bringing up other people's matters?"
Gu Qingli sighed to herself as she returned to the topic at hand. She couldn't avoid it.
"I heard that when Li Yue went missing for a while, Fifth Brother went through every inch of soil in the capital and found her again. Furthermore, the two of them are inseparable within the residence every day?"
Inseparable? Isn't this too exaggerated? Gu Qingli wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth curved downwards.
When Xiao Yi Yan saw her smile of defeat, he suddenly felt her heart ache. She stepped forward and held her shoulders, "Yu Ying said that Fifth Brother stayed in Li Yue's room for the night. You … really don't mind at all? "
"At most, there would be more secondary wives. What do I care?" She turned her head away, unaware of the tip of her red nose and the rims of her eyes.
After all, Gu Qingxiao was different from Madam Jia and the rest. She had entered the estate under the guise of Li Yue! Xiao Yi Xiu looked at her with eyes filled with deep emotion.
Gu Qingli didn't know what she wanted to do, but the voice in her heart told her that it had nothing to do with her. No matter how many women he had, who did he like and what did it have to do with her? When she had rejected him in her identity as Li Yue, hadn't she already made her heart clear?
"If you really think like that, then why didn't you leave the Eastern Abyss with me?" Xiao Yiyan's overbearing gaze was filled with boundless passion, spreading like the ocean waters. It shook her heart, as if it would gush out and submerge her at any time.
"I …"
"I hope you won't refuse me a second time."
Gu Qingli was extremely hesitant. She couldn't help but think about what had happened last night. She didn't directly ask Xiao Yixiu about it, but chose to avoid it. In fact, she subconsciously didn't want to face the truth, right? But why did her heart have a faint feeling of pain, like a tight and airtight net, gradually closing up, causing her to suffocate?
