C153 Argument

Shaking his head, he wanted to return to his room, but when he lifted his eyes, he saw Xiao Yi Xiu appear in the courtyard. His white clothes were like snow, and his expression was cold, as if he was deep in thought.

"Your Highness? Where are you going... Or did you just come back from somewhere? "

It was only now that Xiao Yi Xiu seemed to have noticed him. He raised his eyes to look at him and said calmly, "Oh, nothing."

Seeing his tall and straight back entering the house, he shook his head and touched his nose. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang from inside the house, as if something heavy had fallen onto the ground. He could not help but be shocked, instinctively rushing in without caring about the formalities.

Xiao Yi Xiu stood in the room with his six screens on the floor. The women in the room all stood up with frightened faces.

"Who let you in?" Xiao Yixiu's voice was slow and cold, different from his usual gentle and courteous estrangement from these girls. It was obvious that he was somewhat angry.

He didn't mind keeping up the facade, but that didn't mean they'd make it.

"We... I'm just waiting here for the prince to come back. " Wen'er's aura had long weakened. She was not as provocative as she was in front of Gu Qing Li.

"We were all sent by President You to serve the king. If we don't serve him well, then President You will blame us …" She looked pitiful.

"This King is very tired right now. I don't need all of you to attend to me. Get out!" The last two words emphasized on his tone, carrying with it a bit of a fiendish aura. He really didn't like people sleeping casually on his bed with Gu Qing Li. This had already crossed his bottom line.

A few women hurriedly tidied up their dresses and rushed out.

Cheng Kai also hurriedly left, but he bumped into Gu Qing Li who had returned.

Her emotions seemed to have been adjusted to the point where even though her eyes were still as cold as ice, her steps were calm and normal. When he saw the group of women running in all directions, he was stunned.

Gu Qingli stepped into the room and saw that the fallen screen had broken the table and chair. The room was a mess, but the scent of the makeup hadn't dispersed. What bothered her the most was the messy bed.

Xiao Yixiu stood there with his hands behind his back, looking quite displeased.

Gu Qingli didn't even spare him a glance as she raised her voice. "Cheng Wang!"

"Yes, Imperial Concubine Gu." "Yes," Cheng said through the door.

"Have Zhu Wei An send a few Qing Li's people to capture those people in the house and take them to the river bank to live with the victims. Tomorrow, we will dig a ditch and build a canal. We can't slack off!" Whoever dares to resist will be beaten to thirty heads! " She paused for a moment, then coldly said: "Except Ling Xinning."

Cheng Jian stood there, thinking that he had misheard. A bunch of weak girls who only knew how to act coquettishly and flirt with others, capture them to build a dike? What kind of slap was this, Imperial Concubine Gu?

Xiao Yi Xiu seemed to have calmed down a little. He looked at her and asked, "Why do you have to go through all this trouble?"

Gu Qingli suddenly glared at him. "Of course you have to speak up for them. They're all extremely charming and alluring, just like jade. How can you bear for them to pick up a shovel with their tender and white hands?"

"What happened to you?" Xiao Yi Xiu looked at her in shock.

"What's wrong with me? I have to ask you! I can tolerate the women in the Prince's Mansion because they are of clean birth, but these women — "She pointed to the door," They clearly came from the brocade pavilion, so you should know that they are not decent people! You dare to touch these mediocre and vulgar powder, you … "Aren't you afraid of getting dirty!?"

Xiao Yi Xiu looked at her in silence.

"Alright, I know that you like freshness. You like these twenty-eight beauties. Perhaps their fox like skills are truly outstanding. You should bring them all back to Beijing!"

"Can you reason with me?" Xiao Yi Xiu felt that she wasn't someone who would burst out in anger upon seeing such a small matter.

"I am just unreasonable!" I am the daughter of my parents in the Prime Minister's Estate, and I have never been wronged in the slightest! How touching was your speech in front of the emperor, and how did you say that you'd marry her if not for me? I've only been married to you for less than two months, yet you … "

For the past two days, the courtyard had been filled with the aura of rain and mountains, and the most frightening thing was the invitation.

Ever since the five women were dragged away crying with the victims, Imperial Concubine Gu ordered people to clean up a separate room. It had been two days since she last spoke to King Mo.

As for King Mo's room, it had been completely changed from inside to outside, while King Mo himself lingered in Ling Xinning's room every day. It was common for two people to pair up and go together to Wumiguang's place, seemingly discussing the matter of recruiting silver food for the disaster.

You Chenguang uncharacteristically cooperated and even agreed to donate money.

Gu Qingli was still leading the way to the dam to start construction. After the explosions at the lowest peaks of Mount Jun E, the dam was in the process of being built.

Cheng Hao carefully studied the new map many times and asked Gu Qing Li in confusion, "It's really possible?"

"This is called a rolling dam. It is used to raise the water level upstream and stop the accumulation of mud and sand. Storing water levels are high and leaking water is low. When the water level reaches a certain level, it will leak out from the downstream. "

"Then where should I leak it to?"

"This is our next project — to divert, to drain, to divert the river and to irrigate the farmland."

Cheng Xiang felt like prostrating himself on all fours. "Imperial Consort Gu, Prime Minister Gu has such a woman. This is something to be proud of …"

However, Gu Qingli didn't seem to be willing to listen to her words. She only gave a cold snort, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She looked up at the dam. A few slender men in men's clothing were shoveling gravel to fill the hole, and even their legs were trembling.

"How are you doing?"

Cheng Ji followed her gaze and could not help but laugh, "Gu Lengfei, you've made things difficult for them. How could they do this when their hands only know how to play the zither and embroider? These past few days, their hands have all been wounded.

Gu Qingli's eyes darkened as she said coldly, "Does Cheng Lang Zhong think that they've been wronged?"

"Ah?" "No, of course not. It's just that …" Cheng Jijun's face turned red, looking a little embarrassed. In the end, he was still a young man, so he had some tender feelings for the fairer sex.

Gu Qingli nodded. "Since Cheng Lang Zhong has pleaded for them to be his concubine, then I'll let you off the hook. As long as you marry them all and make them your concubines, I'll give you this face."

Cheng Qi's face turned from red to white, and he tightly pursed his lips, not daring to say another word.

Gu Qingli looked at his shy and frightened expression and found it funny, so she didn't pursue the matter. She walked up the embankment alone. All the supervisors had recognized her, so they respectfully bowed along the way. Some people even advised her to leave. After all, the embankment was muddy and dangerous, and the construction site was not clean.

Gu Qingli didn't care. She floated to the women's side as if she hadn't touched the ground. She laughed a few times as she saw them slip away with shovels in their hands, the dirt on their faces and the mud on their pants disappearing completely.

Those girls all turned their heads, looking at her as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes were filled with terror. However, Xiao Yixiu had treated them as if they were separated. It seemed that he was gentle and amiable, thinking that they were princes who could easily catch them. He hadn't expected that he would ignore what Gu Qing Li had done to them.
