She stroked the cat's shiny black fur and said gently, as if she was coaxing a child, "Miao'er, you be good. If I change the medicine for you later, it will hurt a little. You are not allowed to scratch me."
The black cat opened its glass-colored eyes and looked at her. It lowered its head on her knees, appearing very obedient.
She carefully applied medicine on the cat and wrapped it with a handkerchief. Her gaze was gentle and considerate, far more so than when she treated Xiaoyi Xiu.
"You like cats?" An elegant voice came from the doorway.
Gu Qing Li raised his head abruptly and found that Xiao Yi Xiu was standing at the door.
"Didn't you say that you can't see the light of the wind while you're applying acupuncture? And that you need to lie still for less than an hour?"
"It's fine to come out occasionally."
"Could it be that Your Highness is worried that I will take action against Miss Luo?" I'm not going to be like her. " Gu Qingli stroked the cat in her arms. "For the sake of some vinegar, you drugged me. You even crippled this cat."
"Cripple the cat?"
Gu Qingli recounted what happened last night when she caught the cat and said, "She forcefully used a trap to break the kitten's leg bones and cut them open so that I could chase after her with the smell of blood. And the cat is soft and light, and good at diving and low concealment. In the night, I catch up with her, so I broke her leg, so that I wouldn't look back and see her drugging me after a few steps. I do not think that she is young and ignorant for having such a vicious nature towards such an innocent being. "
Xiao Yixiu walked around silently for a while, examining the dried and blackened cat blood along the road. Just as she had said.
He didn't speak to Gu Qingli again and walked directly to the guest residence.
Luo Yun had just showered and applied some antipruritic herbs to his body. His body was already covered in bloodstains. She had to force herself not to leave any marks on her face. At this moment, she was holding the medicine that Liu Yanyu had fried for her and crying as she complained to her Senior Brother about how the Ghost Doctor Li Yue had poisoned her with the medicine.
Xiao Yixiu listened quietly from under the porch until Liu Yanyu said, "Miss Li Yue shouldn't be such a person."
Luo Yun cried, "Senior Brother, you actually believe her?"
"But what reason does she have to harm you?"
Xiao Yi Xiu walked slowly into the room. With a cold expression, he said, "It was because Yun'er added medicine into the bowl of soup that Li Yue forced her to consume it in front of me. She was reaping what she sowed."
Luo Yun didn't think that he would come here. She stood up and asked with a pale face, "Your Royal Highness, do you also believe the Ghost Doctor's words?"
"This King sees that injured cat and knows how cruel you are."
Although Liu Yanyu did not know what was going on, after hearing the two's responses, and seeing Luo Yun's face turn from pale to red and then back to blue, he more or less guessed what was going on.
He sighed, "Junior Sister, you know your own limits." He then left the house. He was very clear about this junior sister's pampered personality. He didn't want to plead for her in any way.
Luo Yun knew that there was no point in trying to defend herself, so she kneeled down in front of Yun'er and cried as she held onto his clothes, "Your highness, Yun'er knows she's wrong. Yun'er just doesn't believe that she can really cure your illness. "If she really is that magical, then I can naturally taste that medicine …"
"Yun'er, you still have to quibble. This duke is truly disappointed in you."
"My lord, my lord! "Don't go!" Luo Yun gripped his sleeves tightly. "Yun'er only likes you, could it be that you're wrong? Yun'er is truly worried for you. I'm afraid that if she doesn't have sufficient medical skills, she'll harm you! "
Luo Yun cried until her eyes turned red. She looked pitiful.
In the end, she was still helped to her feet by Xiao Yi Xiu. Thinking back to how Luo Yun had treated him so well over the years, if it weren't for Luo Yun repeatedly asking for help from the Godly Doctor Valley's Valley Master Luo Qingyun, the Valley Master wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to treat him. No matter what, the Luo Family had no merits nor hardships.
"Yun'er, this duke always thought you were a kind and gentle girl. I didn't think that you would be willing to cripple even a cat for the sake of harming Li Yue. I hope that you won't do the same thing again."
"Yun'er knows, Yun'er doesn't dare anymore!" Luo Yun lowered her head and cried in grief, but her eyes were filled with hatred.
Ghost Doctor Li Yue … She didn't expect that she would have such tricks up her sleeve. If she wanted to snatch the prince away from her, she wouldn't let this kind of thing happen even if she died!
Gu Qingli stroked the lazy cat in her arms as she pondered, wondering what kind of attitude Xiao Yi Xiu would have towards Luo Yun.
Suddenly, the cat she named "Miao'er" meowed and jumped off her knees before limping out.
The closer they got, the more they felt like the windows inside the house were more exquisite than her own yard.
"Black jade!" The cat went into the yard and jumped into the arms of a man.
Gu Qingli looked and saw that it was unexpectedly Xin Ziyao, the "Moon-Seizing Son" she hadn't seen recently. She was dressed in a long, multicolored dress, her black hair tied up with an exaggerated gold phoenix egg, still as luxurious as before.
Looking at her complexion, Xin Ziyao hadn't been getting along very well recently. She was a bit listless, not knowing if she had lost some blood after having a baby or not, and even her lips were a bit pale.
"Black Jade, who hurt you?" Xin Ziyao hugged the cat and looked at the handkerchief on its leg in surprise.
"Side Consort …" Three by her side lightly nudged her and saw Gu Qing Li.
Xin Ziyao hadn't left the courtyard recently, so she felt that the woman in the red silk gown outside the door was a stranger. Instinctively alert, she asked, "Who are you?"
"Ghost Doctor, Li Yue." Gu Qingli couldn't be bothered with this woman as she turned to leave.
"Halt!" Xin Ziyao had heard that a female godly doctor had arrived at the manor. She hadn't expected that she would be so young, and her voice sounded as frightening as flowing spring water.
"Is the secondary wife calling me?" Hearing this commanding tone, Gu Qingli halted her steps and slowly turned around.
"How do you know I'm a secondary concubine?" Xin Ziyao was a little surprised.
"Look at your disposition, saying that your family's jade-like daughter has already been raised. She's not a secondary wife, so how could she be a main wife?" Gu Qing Li unhurriedly swept a glance at her, his gaze clear with provocation.
"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she be so rude to this wangfei!" Xin Ziyao's expression changed. She didn't even put that notorious main wife in her eyes, so how could she possibly take this wandering doctor who came from nowhere seriously?
"San-er, go and capture her. When you see that this side's Concubine isn't bowing, you still dare to be impudent!"
Gu Qing Li remained calm and collected. When she got close, her feet suddenly slipped as if she had slipped and fell down, followed by a flash of silver light. San'er's knees turned soft and numb, causing her attack to miss.
This girl was rather nimble. After falling down, she felt that something wasn't right, so she didn't have time to chase after Gu Qingli. Instead, she pressed her palms to the ground.
Gu Qingli suddenly reached out to grab her wrist and cried out, "Ouch!"
San'er was supposed to lift and spin her body with a single push, but when she felt his body go numb, her hands went soft. She fell to the ground, with a small portion of her body pressed against Gu Qing Li.
"It hurts!" Gu Qingli called out, "Consort Xin, I'm a guest of the prince, how can you treat me like this …" Sigh, forget it, your Mo King Manor is not a place to keep people. I can't afford to offend you, so why can't I hide? Then, we will go to the Prince and bid our farewells! "
Then, with great difficulty, she pushed San-er away and limped to her feet, as if she were really pressed down by San-er after her fall.
Sans stood up in surprise, looking at Xin Ziyao at a loss for words.
Xin Ziyao originally wanted to put some pressure on the Ghost Doctor, but after hearing that she was going to bid farewell to the Prince Mo, she knew that things were not going well. After all, she had heard that this Ghost Doctor had taken control of the Prince's illness and was now in high regard.
He hurried forward and said, "Miss Li Yue, don't leave. The servant of this concubine is rude, is it really unintentional?"
"Don't, don't come over! Who knows what schemes you have! "
Xin Ziyao hesitated for a moment, thinking that if she went to frame him in front of the prince, she would be in deep trouble. She could only helplessly watch her walk away.
Not long after Gu Qing Li left, he quickly changed into an Imperial Consort's dress and returned to his own courtyard.
