On the other side, Xiao Yi Xiu and his group had successfully entered the inner city and returned to the manor.

After settling Gu Qing Li on the bed and seeing that she still hadn't woken up even after a long time, Xiao Yi Xiu's heart had already risen from his initial low spirits to worry. Helplessly, he ordered Suifeng to bring him to the palace for treatment.

Just as he finished giving orders, Gu Qingli woke up and heard his last words. She lightly waved her hand to stop him from going to the imperial physician.

"Qing Li, you're awake?" A light of surprise flashed across Xiao Yi Xiu's eyes.

Gu Qingli wanted to sit up, but he held her back and let her lean into her embrace.

"Guess who did it?"

Xiao Yi Xiu was silent for a moment before he shook his head. Previously, he didn't have the mind to think about this in detail, but now that he had mentally eliminated each and every one of them, he actually couldn't recall who it was.

This group of people had not only attacked Gu Qing Li, they had also gone against the imperial camp several times. They had also wanted to blow up the situation, so Xiao Yi Jin must not have sent them.

At first glance, it looked like he was the one who did it, but in reality, he didn't have any military power in his possession. Other than his own troops, no one else could move him. And once Princess Lan Xun was done, he was, in fact, somewhat caught in the air. He had always guarded this part of his duty and did not dare to cross the lake of lightning.

"I also think that it isn't Xiao Yi Mo." Gu Qing Li had a hunch that Xiao Yi Mo couldn't do something so meticulous, that everything had revolved around the Gu. However, the Gu Master and the person in control had been raised since childhood, and the source of the Gu mentioned by Ding Lang was the Northern Frontier Land, and it had a history of at least ten to twenty years. At that time, how old was Xiao Yi Mo? Although the Ling family had a great power, they could not reach to the north. They could not abandon their close proximity to the capital to cultivate their own power.

The only power left in the imperial court was the prince Xiao Yibin, but there was no need to mention him. How could the Emperor's trusted aides do something so rebellious?

"I have a guess, I haven't dared to say it out loud."

"Go ahead."

Gu Qingli said softly, "Helian Yu."

Xiao Yi Xiu raised his eyebrows, astonishment in his eyes.

"Ever since the Helian siblings appeared, the Venomous Bee Gu has only just appeared in the capital, and his first appearance was in our mansion. I don't think that the people in our mansion are trustworthy, but Helian Peng didn't attack us when he was stung by the Venomous Bee Gu and didn't even leave a distinctive butterfly mark."

"Then what does he mean by this?"

"Leave it be." Helian Xianzi was the first to be poisoned, and who was Helian Yu the most on guard against in the Eastern Abyss? It's you; who do you hate the most? It's you, too. Being stung by the Poison Bee Gu in your house, if word of this gets out, everyone would first suspect you, and if it doesn't spread, just you and I alone know, it would be enough to prove his innocence.

Xiao Yi Xiu listened attentively and nodded his head slowly. However, he raised another question. "Why is it that your third sister isn't affected by the Gu poison?"

"I'm not sure why she was poisoned, but I speculate that it might have happened during the days when she was released from the secret chamber and returned to the Xiang Fu to rest. It would be easy to explain if she didn't have an attack. Using her as evidence at a critical moment, with butterfly spots on her body yet not having an attack, isn't this obviously causing people to suspect you? She is your imperial concubine, and under the name of Li Yue, the name of the Ghost Doctor resounded throughout the capital. Didn't someone in the imperial court ask her questions about her bringing the plague into the inner city? If it wasn't for Gu … My father testified for you, so this matter will not be settled easily. "

"All these are pointed at me. Actually, you think that Helian Yu wanted to blame me?"

Gu Qingli sighed lightly. If it could be said that this was originally just a guess on her part, then what she had done to her at the Cheng Yang Inn last time practically confirmed her guess. When she thought of that, her face turned pale. She couldn't help but start to tremble. Unable to hold it in any longer, she bent over and violently vomited all over Xiao Yixiu's body.

He didn't bother to clean himself up. He fondled her back to help her breathe. When he couldn't find the handkerchief, he lifted his sleeve to wipe the corner of her lips.

Gu Qingli was aware of his obsession with cleanliness, so she felt very uncomfortable. She pushed him and said softly, "You … "Go wash your clothes and get some water for me to rinse my mouth."

"No, I have to take care of you." He did not deny it. He let the brocade lady in and washed her with his own hands, carefully cleaning her cheeks and mouth.

Without any warning, Gu Qing Li's nose started to ache and his eyes started to burn. In order to prevent him from seeing her weak side, she strongly rejected him, telling him to leave as soon as possible. He pressed her face to his and kissed her on the lips.

Jin Shu hadn't even had the time to leave when she saw this scene. Aiya, she cried out and almost overturned a basin of water to wash her face. She hurriedly carried the basin and retreated, almost colliding with the incoming rain.

"What are you being rash for?" Yu Ying was baffled.

"Don't... "Don't go in." Jinshu blushed and whispered to stop her.

Yu Ying frowned and followed her closely. After walking for a while, she said softly, "There's something inside." That... "What?"

"Huh?"

Before Yu Ying could understand what she meant, she heard a shout from Suifeng, "What do you mean, 'that'?"

Jin Zhui was so frightened that the washbasin that he had wanted to flip over twice finally fell over. The three of them had their heads poured over.

Suifeng complained, "What are you doing? I only asked you a question. "

"Where did you come from in the middle of the night? "Isn't it just a shock?" Jinshu reprimanded him while slapping the water off his body. "You cleaned up this place for me. Who told you to scare me."

Suifeng lowered his head, "I am not the one who did all this, I am just not your subordinate!"

Jin Shu cast a contemptuous glance at him. "You want to hear my story just because you don't do anything?"

"A story?" With the wind blowing harder, his eyes widened as he pricked up his ears and leaned over.

"Are you going to clean it up?"

"Clean up, clean up!"

The three of them gathered in one place. Hearing Jin Shu whisper, they said, "The prince is inside, holding the wangfei in his arms … "Yes, yes."

"Hmm? "Hmm what?"

"Of course, it's related to my parents … "Mouth." Jinshi made a thumbs-up gesture. "So I came out."

"That's it?"

"Yeah, what else do you want? "Do not take any offense now. If you have the ability, go and take a look."

Suifeng angrily gave her a blow on the head, "I'm perfectly justified, what's wrong with kissing her? Make a fuss! "

"You were the one who asked questions, and even caused me to splash water all over my body. Don't even think about repudiating your debt once I'm done!" She didn't even look back as she dragged Yu Ying away, not even bothering to clean up the bronze pot on the ground. She was so angry that she stomped her feet in the wind behind her.

No one noticed Yu Ying's expression darken the moment they heard that, and sorrow and resentment flashed in her eyes.
