He raised his trembling hand and pointed at Xiao Yi Xiu, "My prince, even though you are a noble prince, your secondary wife caused my beloved concubine to go missing, so how are we going to settle this debt?"

The news of Deng Shengchuan's beloved concubine, Fang Yanzhu, disappearing had already spread throughout the Chamber of Commerce, but no one knew that it had something to do with Gu Qingli.

"Ever since Madame Gu helped treat my beloved concubine, she's been missing. Doesn't this have anything to do with Madame Gu?"

Xiao Yi Xiu frowned, but before he could say anything, the curtain in the living room lifted as Gu Qing Li walked in.

"Deng Shengchuan, this side of the concubine was kind enough to treat your beloved concubine, but I don't know what made Fang Yanzhu lose her mind. As for her not returning to the Deng Mansion later on, what does this have to do with my wife? " Gu Qingli raised her slender fingers. There was a red mark on the tip of her finger, indicating that it was a new injury.

"Ya Zhu is a weak girl, how could she do such a thing? Besides, even if she wanted to harm you, she wouldn't leave such a small wound on your fingertip! I, Deng Shengchuan, don't need anything. As long as you return Ya Zhu to me … "You …"

"What's going on? All of you have gone mad today! " Zhu Wei An slapped the table and stood up. "This is too outrageous!"

You Chenguang kept trying to smooth things over, but it seemed like he wouldn't be able to continue fighting. On the other side, it seemed like he was borrowing the alcohol to make a ruckus again. The scene was a mess.

"Men, take them down first!" Zhu Wei An's face darkened, and he ordered the magistrate to drag Shi Zhenfeng and Deng Shengchuan down first.

These two were famous figures in the region, so he could not be careless. However, the scene before him was indeed difficult to deal with, so he could only use force to suppress them. Fortunately, King Mo returned to the capital three days later. As long as the two of them were locked up for three days, it would not be too late to make amends in the future.

After sending off the banquet, Xiao Yi Xiu called Cheng Hao over. He looked much darker and skinnier than when he came here. With a warm smile on his face, he said, "You've been doing quite well. Have you worked hard?"

"No!" The one who is truly tired is Imperial Concubine Gu. " Cheng Qi looked outside and asked carefully, "My lord, you have not..." "Make up?"

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled but didn't say anything.

"It was all Miss Ling's doing. Prince, you must not fall into her trap."

"Do your own thing, Cheng Wang, and leave the rest of the Chi Yue to you. Don't disappoint your uncle."

Cheng Wan nodded, it was just some follow-up work, he thought he was more than qualified.

Xiao Yi Xiu got on the carriage early in the morning, waving goodbye to the passersby. Zhu Wei An's face was full of courtesy, but Cheng Wang looked around. When he saw that Gu Qing Li had arrived late, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Qing Li glanced at him with a smile in his eyes. This Cheng Wang looked young and immature, but in reality, he was full of zeal and admiration for her.

"That... And Miss Ling? It's been a few days. " Cheng Kai lowered his voice, afraid that he would be overheard.

"You're so gossipy, are you interested in her?" Gu Qingli also laughed softly.

"What is gossip?" "I don't like her at all. If I want to like her, I have to be as wise and knowledgeable as the side concubine."

Then, as if noticing his slip of tongue, he covered his mouth and widened his eyes, his face immediately turning red.

Gu Qingli smiled as she waved at him, then stepped into the carriage.

The wheels slowly rolled away from the state.

Gu Qingli let out a sigh of relief and pointed at the bottom of the carriage with the sole of her shoe. She glanced at Xiao Yixiu and said, "If you don't let her out, he'll suffocate to death if the air in the bottom of the carriage isn't enough."

Xiao Yi Xiu laughed. He pressed something and it clicked. At the bottom of the carriage, Ling Xin Ning was curled up in a ball with her mouth stuffed into her mouth. She narrowed her eyes as if she was not used to the light. He leaned over and pulled her out, the car door closing.

Ling Xinning struggled to put on a face of anger, but was unable to say anything.

"Don't be in such a hurry. After we pass through the boundary of the Scarlet Mountain Range, I'll give you your freedom." Xiao Yi Xiu smiled leisurely. "I know you have a lot of questions, but the alliance that you've mentioned will not be cancelled."

Doubt arose in Ling Xinning's eyes as she finally calmed down. She moved her body, trying to lean comfortably against Xiao Yi Xiu's legs.

"Sit over there!" Gu Qing Li suddenly glared at Xiao Yi Xiu.

He was slightly startled, then broke into laughter. He got up and sat next to Gu Qingli, then wrapped her arm around her slender waist.

Gu Qingli unwillingly turned around and tried to push him away, but she was held even tighter.

"You know that I don't have anything to do with her, but you're still jealous of me?" Xiao Yixiu laughed in a low voice beside her ear. The breath he let out was gentle and cool, causing her ears to turn red for no reason, and his gaze to soften.

"That's hard to say …"

Ling Xinning suddenly protested, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Gu Qingli took off the cloth in her mouth and said, "What do you want to say? Don't expect to scream for help. "

Ling Xinning panted for a while before glaring at her: "Gu Lengfei, since when did you know the truth?"

"From the moment I saw the man on the bed, my anger rose up and I lost my mind in an instant, but …" She looked back at Xiao Yixiu, and felt his fingers tighten around her waist as she smiled at him. "I know very well that the man I married isn't that kind of person, so even if he really was lying on the bed, he must have been tricked by you."

"Then I reached out and touched his face, and I saw that it was only a cold human mask, and that you were using his absence to set up such a trap, and that once I lost my mind, a misunderstanding would occur. In order to make you feel like you've fallen into a trap, of course I have to be very cooperative and angry. "

Xiao Yixiu smiled and continued, "When she was angry at me, she hinted that I was the apple of her parents' eye when they were at the Prime Minister's Residence. This King naturally knows that it was a play by her, so it's best to cooperate with her. "

"What's wrong with that?" Ling Xinning was stunned.

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled but didn't answer. Only he knew clearly that Gu Qingli had never been the apple of her eyes. Her birth mother had died early, but her birth father had treated her like a family pet. He had raised her indifferently and casually and had never cared about her existence.

"Then why didn't you expose him earlier and instead pretended to be a villain?"

Gu Qingli said coldly, "In Chi Yue's place, if they didn't pretend that they had fallen into a trap, what else would Zhu Wei An and You Chenguang do? Who can predict?"

Ling Xinning fell silent.

"Don't forget the deal you made with This King. If you leave Chi Yue, whatever tricks you want to play in front of This King, you will die without a sound at any time."

Ling Xinning lowered her head, and said: "Don't worry, I won't forget. Although Ling Yuanzhang gave birth to me, he never did his duty of a day as a father. After recognizing me, it was only because I had some value that he threw me at the Crimson Yue … He wants me to separate from you all, infiltrate your palace, and gain your trust. "

She raised her face and bit her lower lip, "My birth mother died. After giving me away, she … "He committed suicide."

Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li couldn't help but look at each other. Why was his background so similar to Xiao Yi Xiu's?

"I know they won't let you go. When we return to the capital, an inescapable net will be waiting for you …" Ling Xinning stared at Xiao Yixiu, "You will not regret your deal with me. As long as Ling Yuanzhang's family is destroyed, I want all of his children to have a taste of a fate as tragic as mine …"
