"You, you, you … You just wait and see! " Xin Ziyao rolled on the ground, crying as she turned her head back to say something fierce, "I'm going to tell the prince!"

As she rushed over to Xiao Yixiu's place, Xin Ziyao and the rest of the women began to sob, acting like a spoiled child as they shed tears. They even brought the five finger prints on their faces to follow him.

Xiao Yi Xiu swept his gaze across him and gave an 'oh' as if he wasn't surprised by his words. "Go and apply some powder on your face. It looks bad if it's swollen."

Xin Ziyao was stunned for a moment: "Prince, you're not making decisions for me?" "Ziyao, have you been beaten to this state by her …" She had suffered the most, rolled up her sleeves, flesh and bruises.

"Alright, stop messing around. This King has something more important to do." He waved his hand and dismissed the group of women.

Suddenly, she felt pain and numbness in her palm. Lowering her head to look, she found that the wrist that Gu Qing Li had pinched before was slowly swelling up, and that the soreness and numbness that had previously spread upwards from her palm had actually spread throughout her entire body.

Gu Qing Li dismissed Xiao Yi Xiu's group of women as she looked at Yu Li with a smile.

Yu Li initially thought that the Second Miss had undergone some changes. However, after the previous commotion, she felt that the change was earth-shattering. She couldn't help but shiver.

He then looked at Gu Qing Li. His smile was noble and elegant, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. Instead, it only added a trace of viciousness!

"Yuli, you really know how to talk. You must think that this wangfei didn't teach you well in the past?" Her hand slowly pressed down on Yuli's shoulder, slowly increasing her strength.

Jade pear could not help but kneel down.

"Yuying, slap her face twenty times. Let her learn the rules of the palace."

Yu Li instantly opened her eyes wide in disbelief. However, before she could regain her senses, a sharp pain came from her face.

Hearing Gu Qing Li's order, Yu Ying naturally wouldn't be polite.

After cleaning up Yupi, Gu Qingli quickly heard from the manor that Xin Ziyao had contracted a strange disease and was rolling around in pain. Even if she invited the imperial physician, he still wouldn't be able to figure out what had happened, but he was certain that it had been pinched by the imperial concubine.

However, when Xiao Yi Xiu looked at her, he only gave her a "wild guess".

The imperial physician, hearing this, smiled. He didn't believe that a weak and delicate princess could pinch someone to such an extent.

On the way back to the Third Dynasty, Xin Ziyao's strange illness gradually improved. I heard that she still couldn't get out of bed.

Gu Qingli saw Xiao Yixiu for the first time in three days. He wore a snow-white brocade robe with a jade crown on his head and a gentle smile on his lips. He looked so elegant that even she was almost tricked by his appearance.

Once they entered the carriage, the warm smile on his face vanished. Xiao Yixiu's gaze swept over her as an indescribable chilliness pierced his bones.

She was already used to seeing the two faces behind him, so she knew that his smile was definitely not good. As expected, she heard him say, "You'd better give this duke some peace. Don't think that this imperial physician's story with Xin Wudao's wife has nothing to do with you. This prince will believe it."

Gu Qingli raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Why does it have to do with me again?" The prince's favorite concubine ran over to my place and kicked the door, and the villains even went back to complain, I still don't have a place to complain! "

Xiao Yixiu gripped her wrist tightly and pulled her closer. His gaze swept across her body, and it was as if he had completely dissected her.

His voice was soft and pleasant, carrying only a hint of piercing coldness. "If my imperial concubine were to suddenly disappear, I imagine that father-in-law wouldn't care too much about it."

Gu Qingli knew he was telling the truth. Ever since the day she'd married her, that father hadn't intended to discipline her. If Xiao Yi Xiu really wanted to silence her, then there wouldn't be anyone in this world who would seek justice for Gu Qing Li.

Therefore, she had to live on! She gritted her teeth and looked at him.

When they arrived at the Gu Estate, Xiao Yixiu supported Gu Qingli off the carriage and tenderly wrapped his arms around her waist, secretly tightening his grip and reminding her not to speak carelessly.

Prime Minister Gu Zhaoran was sitting in the middle of the guest hall. When his son-in-law and daughter returned, he had a peaceful smile and chatted with Xiao Yi for a while before letting them greet him. Gu Qingli then left with her servant girl, allowing their son-in-law to chat happily with him.

The backyard was where the prime minister and his wife stayed. They walked through the backyard before they arrived at the Gu sisters courtyard. She slowly walked with her servant girl, but coincidentally, they met the young miss of the Residence of Ye, Gu Qingruo.

Gu Qingruo wore a water chestnut jacket, a long dress, and a fox skin cloak. Her white fox fur accentuated her beautiful face, making her look like a beauty. Her beauty couldn't hide the arrogance in her eyes.

"Yi, isn't this second sister? "What, three generations back?"

"Greetings elder sister." In Gu Qingli's memory, the eldest young miss didn't have a very glorious image. She only made a few cold greetings and wanted to pass by.

"Halt."

Gu Qingruo sneered, "Why are you putting on the airs of a wangfei after being married to Prince Mo only for a few days?" You don't even have the time to reminisce after seeing your sister? "

Gu Qingli turned around and gave her a shallow smile. "Big Sis and I don't seem to have much sisterhood to talk about."

"I'm warning you, don't be so shameless as to pester Prince Mu in the future. He has already requested an edict from His Majesty, and he will be married to me in a few days. He's no longer someone you can wishful thinking about!"

"You … What did you say? "

"I'm afraid only big sister would be interested in that kind of trash. My Prince Mo has a temperament and looks that can overshadow him by ten streets, how could I have the time to visit him!"

Gu Qingruo's anger rose in her heart as she raised her palm and slapped him. Seeing her expression, Gu Qing Li was already used to beating up Gu Qing Li. She had never thought that there was anything wrong with her.

Gu Qing Li's expression turned slightly dark, and her eyes darkened. She slightly moved her sleeves, and a cold light shot out from her fingertips. Gu Qingruo suddenly felt her knees go soft, as if needles had pierced her. She fell to her knees with an indecent fall.

Gu Qingli wouldn't give her another chance to hit him. "Tch!" she laughed. "Big sister was too careless, wasn't she?" She tossed her a disdainful glance and left.

In the main hall of the backyard, Yu Bi Ling, the successor of the Prime Minister, was waiting for the newcomers to arrive.

On the surface, the rules still had to be obeyed. Gu Qingli greeted her stepmother without batting an eyelid, then presented her well-prepared greetings.

Yu Bi Ling opened the box, her face dazed for a moment. A look of delight appeared in her eyes. "My son's return is enough for mother. Why are you so courteous?"

Presumably, the gift that Xiao Yi Xiu had prepared was truly valuable. Gu Qing Li suppressed the disdain in his eyes and gave a perfunctory smile.

With a fake smile on her face, Yu Bi Ling thoughtfully instructed Gu Qing Li to rest.

He returned to his old residence. It had only been three days, but the tables and chairs were covered in a thin layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had ever cleaned them before. Gu Qingli's pitiful furniture was a bit worse than the servants of the estate.

Yuli made an excuse to go get some snacks, but she didn't stop him. She just looked at his back and sneered in her heart. As expected, he was one of her stepmother's spies.

It seemed like this little girl wasn't ready for this.
