Xiao Yi Mo's expression was grave as he thought about the great change that had occurred over the past year. Although everyone had overlooked the fact that Xiao Yi Xiu had the qualifications to compete, it was all because of his weak body.

What if it wasn't true? Or could it be that under Li Yue's treatment, Xiao Yi Xiu was already recovering? Although he no longer had military power in his hands, he could still see the end of the princes — Xiao Yi Bei was crippled, Xiao Yi Yan was missing, the empress and Ling family's forces had all fallen. He was despised by the emperor because of the matter of Princess Lan Xun, and Xiao Yi Jin had also suffered some setbacks due to Cheng Ying's matter.

Didn't all of these point to the possibility of Xiao Yi Xiu rising up once again?

"In addition, don't you think she's a little interested in Xiao Yixiu and hates Gu Qingli for going to Princess Helian's place?"

"Yeah."

"What do you think Xiao Yi Xiu would do to her if he could encourage her to kill Gu Qing Li?"

Gu Qingruo sucked in a breath of cold air. She had always hated Gu Qingli deeply and wanted nothing more than to use the most vicious method to take revenge. However, the thought of killing him had never crossed her mind. After being stirred up by Xiao Yi Mo, it actually grew like wild grass in his heart.

"If Xiao Yixiu is unable to control his emotions, he might do something that would be detrimental to Helian Xiuya — even if it is not a serious injury, it would still arouse Helian Yu's anger. What do you think Helian Yu will do? Such a violation of the relationship between the two nations must have caused him to lose all trust in front of royal father. "

On the other hand, Xiao Yi Mo thought for a long time, and even revealed a gloomy smile.

"Princess Helian is very stupid. I heard that she fought with Gu Qing Li when they first entered the Mo King Manor, but she couldn't beat her. How can a girl like her be counted on to kill Gu Qing Li?" The more Gu Qingruo suspected Gu Qingli's identity, the more convinced she became that Xiao Yimo's deduction was very reasonable.

"That's why I need you, This King's darling." With a teasing smile on his face, Xiao Yi Mo leaned forward to pinch her smooth and exquisite face before kissing it affectionately.

Gu Qing's heart softened as he heard Xiao Yixiu's hypocritical 'darling' and his eyes turned sour. All of his rationality was cast aside, and he hatefully thought to himself that if he could get rid of Xiao Yixiu as his only obstacle, then Xiao Yixiu would definitely change his mind and treat him differently.

Then, he thought, if Gu Qing Li really was Li Yue, then the one who caused him to lose his virility after his miscarriage was also her. If he didn't avenge her, then he wouldn't be worthy of her!

When Gu Qingruo was stepping into the Mo King's Manor, Helian Shuang happened to be 'a guest' at the Mo Residence and unexpectedly met her on her way to find Gu Qingli.

"Princess Helian, what a coincidence."

"You're looking for Gu Qingli?" Helian Peng's eyes immediately lit up. With Gu Qing Ruo dragging Gu Qing Li along, naturally Xiao Yi Xiu would have to be alone with her. How could he miss this opportunity?

Gu Qingruo understood her intentions and nodded with a smile.

Suifeng couldn't stand the sight of these two annoying women, so he had long ago moved to the side and pretended not to see them.

Yurou respectfully led them into the Feng Zhaoxuan, then brought Helian Xiuxiu to the study to look for Xiao Yixiu, while Gu Qingruo went straight to look for Gu Qingli.

"Madam's birthday?" Yu Bi Ling didn't want Gu Qing Li to call her mother, so she had been called 'Madam' ever since she was a child.

She naturally couldn't remember when Yu Bi Ling's birthday was coming up, but she was still surprised to hear Gu Qing Ruo's words. She didn't know when Yu Bi Ling had become so intimate, and now that her birthday was off, she actually called her "dear" to the Ning Province?

"Let Prince Mo bring Third Sister back with him." Gu Qingruo sipped her tea, lowered her eyes, and quietly sized up Gu Qingli's expression from under her eyelids.

Gu Qingli understood. This was because she was suspicious of Gu Qingxiao's situation and was probing them.

She calmly smiled and also raised her teacup to take a sip. She thought to herself that she had left Gu Qingxiao alive just in case this day came. After all, if the third young miss of the Prime Minister's family died without a sound, she probably wouldn't be able to account for it.

"Alright, third sister, you were born with a small birth, so you're not feeling very well. I've always kept you from seeing people, but since this is the Madam's birthday, I and the Prince will definitely bring her back to peace."

Speaking of which, it had indeed been a long time since she had looked at Gu Qingxiao in the dungeon. The last time he had seen her, her hair had been in disarray, and his face was extremely pale and thin. Gu Qingli had also instructed the guards to treat her a bit more courteously. At the very least, she had to let her eat her fill. Otherwise, how could she show her face when she came out of hell?

When sending Gu Qingruo out, the two of them simultaneously saw Xiao Yi, who always had a warm expression, come out of his study. With impatience in his eyes, Helian Lie expressionlessly grabbed his arm, acting like she wasn't very good at it: "Brother Xiao, don't you want to come with me to Northern Chu? "The one who treated Big Brother Crown Prince …"

"Princess Helian!" You should pay attention to your status and behavior. "

Xiao Yixiu pushed away her hand that was tightly holding his arm and cast a cold gaze at her. A smile that lacked warmth was on his face, just like Helian Yu's. In a way, the two rivals were somewhat alike, dark, cruel, and ruthless, except that one appeared cold and direct, while the other was roundabout and reserved.

Perhaps it was because he saw Gu Qing Li, but Helian Lie's expression changed. He couldn't hold on any longer and looked at Xiao Yi Xiu with eyes full of grievance. "Brother Xiao, I'll come see you another day. You think about my suggestion carefully."

"There is no need to consider it further, thank you for your kindness, Princess. "Suifeng, see our guest out."

"I'm leaving too, Second Sister. Remember." In front of so many people, Gu Qingruo was still very supportive of her sister's image. She smiled and spoke gently to Gu Qingli, just like an elder sister.

She bid farewell to Xiao Yi Xiu and said to Helian Shuang, "Princess, why don't I go with you?"

"Princess Helian, Princess Mu, please!" His manners weren't lacking, but his eyes were full of contempt, wishing that he could chase these two women out of the manor together.

Helian Shuang had a depressed look on her face as she left side by side with Gu Qingruo, angrily complaining to Gu Qingruo. When he heard that Gu Qing Ruo invited the Mo couple to celebrate with the Prime Minister's wife, his eyes couldn't help but light up. "Can I, too, go get a cup of wine? Don't worry, this princess will give you a birthday present. "

Gu Qingruo was startled. The princess was willing to join in the liveliness, so it wouldn't be a problem, but she didn't need to fawn on her father … Soon after, she realized that Helian Xiufeng wasn't going to let go of any opportunity to get close to Xiao Yi Xiu. Xiao Yi Xiu didn't want to bother with her at the Wang Mansion, so he could send her away with a few words. However, when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate, there would always be many people present for the banquet.

"Alright, then I'll ask the princess to show us some face."
