Until Gu Qing Li was carried onto the soft bed, she was still muttering, "Xiao Yi Xiu, am I hallucinating now? What if I suddenly find out that everything between us is just that lily night smell... But what do we do? "
Xiao Yi Xiu paused for a second. He was annoyed and amused at the same time. "Do you think that the incense can create a complete illusion world for you to see tomorrow?"
"That's hard to say. Perhaps this dream of mine took an extremely long time to complete my entire life …" She continued to mutter until he took a punitive bite and hissed, "Pain! "Xiao Yi Xiu, do you have a tendency to abuse him?"
He chuckled lowly, "You're still not awake from a bite, and you still dare to call this an illusion?"
She smiled tenderly. "That's right, I keep feeling like I've had a long dream. Otherwise … There will be you. " She looked at him dreamily, her long, narrow, phoenix-like eyes filled with affection.
Xiao Yi Xiu embraced her and sighed softly, "Actually, I don't want anything with you. But I can't help myself in the martial arts world. As long as I'm alive and I'm Xiao Yi Xiu, no one can let me safely grow old …"
"A man's wealth is his own fault. Besides, you are the most dazzling War God in the East Abyss. As long as you survive for a single breath, anyone who ascends to that position will regard you as a thorn in their side." "Since they won't let us be at peace, we might as well take their place."
"You always knew what I was thinking?"
Gu Qingli looked at him with a hint of pride and smiled, "You're my man, do you think I don't know anything about you other than marrying you?"
He looked at her with a smile and a doting look in his eyes. How could the woman he had set his eyes on be weak?
"Maybe I can help you a little."
He was startled and raised his eyebrows. There was doubt in his eyes.
She couldn't help but feel a little pleased with herself. After all, he couldn't be counted as a trump card. She also had a secret that he didn't know about, such as the Xuanhua Restaurant.
When Xiao Yixiu heard of the Xuanhua Pavilion's secret file, the astonishment in his eyes made Gu Qingli feel quite satisfied.
"In the future, I will spare some time to run Xuanhua Tower. Right now, they are relying on Xin Yingning to maintain their business, and Warm Fragrance will only listen to my orders because she is restricted by me. This kind of connection is not reliable enough, I need to take care of it myself, otherwise, if Xin Yingning or the crown prince were to find out about this Warm Fragrance line, it's very likely that they will be able to dispose of her."
"But you have to be careful. I know you're smart, but Xin Yingning is not stupid. His kind of cunning old fox isn't something that Xiao Yibei, a prince of heaven, can compare to."
"That's why I have to manage it myself. For this organization, the Xuanhua Restaurant has been replaced with something that can make me feel at ease. Furthermore, I need your help to make it bigger."
Not only was Xuanhua Tower a moneymaking business, it was also the source of all the secrets within the kingdom. It could be said that controlling it was an underground force that far surpassed the Star Moon Gambling Workshop.
Feng Che Xuan's secret chamber only had a circumference of twenty to thirty feet. Besides the long table in the middle, there were actually seven to eight chairs around it. The first time Gu Qing had entered, she had been surprised by the usage of the secret chamber's space and the lighting and ventilation system. Although it was located between two rooms, it didn't look any different from the outside.
The light was projected in through the skylight of the neighboring room, and then reflected back into the secret room through the mirror. The light was not very strong during the day, but it was ventilated by the eight ventilation ducts built into the walls and leading to the corridor.
Even so, the circulation of air was not so smooth after all. Therefore, for a long time, there was a three-legged plum flower incense burner on the incense table.
As the guests entered the secret chamber one by one, all of them stared at the princess with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief.
He was the oldest, with the oldest qualifications. With a bedraggled expression and a dignified beard, he seemed to have an iron-blooded, steel-like personality: "Your highness, we shouldn't be asking about your family matters, but this general believes that a woman shouldn't be involved in men's affairs. Moreover, too many things are involved in the secret chamber meeting, so no matter how much you love your consort, she will …"
Gu Qingli patiently listened until this point, before slowly passing a glass of wine to him. She smiled faintly and said, "General He, Gu Qingli is a woman, and may not be worthy of your eyes, but she's still a princess. I hope you can show me this goblet of wine."
She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly with a calm expression. She did not put on any airs of arrogance. However, her tone of voice carried a sense of arrogance. He Zhenjun hesitated for a moment before he reached out to grab the Glazed Cane.
A slight cracking sound could be heard. The undamaged glass bottle in his hand suddenly shattered into thousands of pieces. Blood colored wine flowed all over the table.
He Zhenkun was stupefied. He had been enlisted in the army all year round, and his palm was as thick as a cocoon. He had not been cut, but this unforeseen event had obviously confused him.
"General He, I know you can fight well and hate evil, but you must know that sometimes it's better to twist one's fingers to refine fine steel. Otherwise, with your personality, how could you have become a spy under Ling Pu? "Since you decided to let He Yanyu go to the Sunset Kingdom to spy on them, you have already admitted that there are some things that only a woman can accomplish."
He Zhenkun glared at Qin Wentian. This time, his anger was directed at Xiao Yixiu. He obviously didn't want to speak of his daughter's humiliating experience to anyone, but the king had actually told his wife about it?
However, Xiao Yi Xiu smirked like a cool breeze. "General He, you're overthinking things. I never divulge anyone's secrets. The wangfei deduced all this herself."
He Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, then he heard Gu Qingli laugh, "Including General He's identity, I guessed it myself. If there's any misunderstanding, please forgive me."
Her eyes turned to the second person, the Minister of Rites, Lin Zhihan. He didn't seem hostile as he bowed courteously. "I heard that Liuxin was moved in time and that avoiding the crown prince's scouting was wangfei's plan. This official doesn't dare accept."
She chuckled. "Vice Minister Lin's corpse is hidden at the bottom of the well. Jin Xi Ran is colluding with the crown prince to frame him. This case has not been resolved yet." She turned the glass in her cup and placed it in front of Lin Zhihan.
Lin Zhihan was stunned. He suddenly raised his head and looked into her eyes. The more he looked, the more familiar he found his. He cried out involuntarily, "You are …"
"Shh!" Gu Qingli put her index finger to her lips and gave him a knowing look.
Lin Zhihan nodded and took Liu Li. With a relieved smile, he finished the wine in one gulp. At first he had been plotted against and had to turn to King Mo, but then he had no regrets. Even his father-in-law had consented to his decision, and Liu Xin's matters were still not handled well enough for him to take her back to the palace.
