Du Ying also happened to come over at this time. She puffed out her stomach as she listened to them talk, and suddenly interrupted, "After that night, he drank some more. She was drunk for seventy percent of the time, so she said a few weird things."
"What did he say?"
"I heard that the Frigid Eating Powder's medicinal properties are really strong. After consuming it, one will feel like they're floating in the air, but their entire body is still hot." Following that, Du Ying's expression darkened, looking extremely unhappy.
Frostbite Powder! Gu Qingli was startled.
Du Ying said angrily that Xiao Shuofang even tried something on her, but since she was getting older, it naturally couldn't satisfy his needs, so he left her to find another girl to accompany him at Xuanhua Restaurant, ignoring her feelings.
Four days ago, after the night banquet, he reeked of alcohol … He even consumed the Frigid Eating Powder? Gu Qing Li had a guess. But who was Xiao Shuo Fang? How could he be connected to the envoy of the Southern Moon?
She sent a secret order to Warm Fragrance, inquiring about anything that had to do with the envoy of the Southern Moon, including any information on the whereabouts of Cape Husband.
After returning to the palace, Vice Minister Lin was just about to say something to Xiao Yixiu when he heard Gu Qing Li knocking on the door and stopped. He could faintly hear what he was saying, "Crown Prince …" He and Yan Wang both had the intention of winning him over.
"Your Highness, this official will take his leave." Vice Minister Lin seemed to have the intention of avoiding Gu Qingli.
"He was afraid I'd hear something?" Gu Qingli could tell.
Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. "He found some clues. He said that the crown prince and the emissary from Southern Moon were very close, and that the Yan King wanted to rope him in as well."
Gu Qingli was lost in thought. If it was to win her over, then her guess was wrong. Wasn't that envoy murdered?
"King Yan has returned to the capital?" She remembered that the King of Yan, Xiao Yijin, was not in the capital.
"We can see him when we enter the palace as soon as we return, so he is still a step behind the crown prince. Among the forces of other countries, Nanyue is actually neutral … "
Gu Qingli's mind was in a daze, and she didn't hear what Xiao Yixiu had said after that, because a name suddenly popped out in her heart: "Xiao Yibei."
She didn't expect it! "Shuofang!" The elegant "Yun", "Shuo, the north also." Xiao Shuo Fang, this name, did not take the name Xiao Yi Bei Bei? Xuanhua Pavilion was the empress's underground faction, but she didn't think much of it. What a big mistake.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought that this dead emissary might have been murdered?"
"Didn't you say that he died from poison after taking the Frigid Food Powder in large quantities? It must have something to do with his daily bad habits. "
"No, I suspect that he was killed by someone, but who would want to kill the envoy? "What is his purpose?"
"He's from Southern Moon and has just arrived. Who could he have a grudge with?" Xiao Yi Xiu felt that it was possible for the emissary's corpse to be used as a piece of cake, but if it was murdered, it wouldn't make sense. Furthermore, what Vice Minister Lin found was that the emissaries were actually being roped in by various powers.
"Your Highness is right, he's new here, it's impossible for him to make enemies easily, not to mention that he's the target of all the forces trying to rope him in, but don't forget, there are two emissaries!"
With Gu Qing Li's reminder, Xiao Yi Xiu nodded slowly, instantly understanding the relationship between the two.
It was impossible for Nanyue's envoy to have such a huge enmity with someone from the Dongyuan Empire. If that was the case, the person who wanted to harm him should be someone within the delegation of Nanyue. The greatest possibility was that it was another envoy!
However, he still didn't know that on the night of the envoy's death, there was another person, Xiao Yi Bei, who had interfered and interfered.
Gu Qingli suddenly reminded him, "The reason why the Crown Prince and King Yan want to recruit envoys is because they want the support of the Southern Moon Country. If you find out about this, will it be beneficial for your relationship with the Southern Moon Country?"
Although Xiao Yi Xiu didn't do this, but wasn't the Southern Moon Country a worthy target for him to recruit? If he didn't do it, he probably felt that he had gone to all the trouble to please an envoy from a foreign country. With his proud and aloof personality, he naturally felt disdainful. However, this great opportunity was right in front of him …
Gu Qingli was about to leave when she noticed that Xiao Yixiu's eyes were burning as she calmed down and looked at her with a peculiar expression. Then, he shook her hand. "Li Yue, you've been running from this king."
She was suddenly confused by his question.
Regardless of whether it was the wangfei or Li Yue, they were both subconsciously avoiding him. He could actually see through it … What was he trying to say?
Instinctively, she felt nervous and tried to pull away, but his grip tightened.
"What does the deceased envoy of the Southern Moon have to do with the one who entered the palace?" She clearly wanted to change the subject.
"Brother, blood brother."
"What?" Gu Qingli had just asked casually, which successfully attracted her attention.
According to the reports of Xiao Yi Xiu, the envoy that entered the palace, Jin Xi Ran, was the older brother, and his younger brother, Jin Xi Yuan, was born directly into the palace, so he was born into a concubine, and was favored by the Emperor of Nan Yue. Thus, when they sent an envoy to the East Continent, Jin Xi Yuan was actually the leader.
From this, it could be inferred that Jin Xi Ran was a scheming person. He had taken advantage of the opportunity of sending out an envoy to another country to murder his younger brother, after all, this was a place far away from the emperor.
Just as Gu Qingli was engrossed in her speculations, she suddenly heard a low and gentle voice by her ear. "You want to be so engrossed in your speculations? Could it be that the matters of others are more important than your lordship?"
Her body stiffened slightly. She turned around and saw Xiao Yixiu's warm and handsome face, his black hair hanging down to his shoulders like water, his brows like spring mountains, his phoenix-like eyes slightly raised, and a dark flame burning in his eyes.
When did he get so close? She didn't notice at all!
"Li Yue doesn't understand what the prince is saying." She shifted quietly.
Xiao Yi Xiu could see the side of her face, which had a proud and aloof expression. However, he couldn't conceal the fluttering of her eyelashes.
He could not see the confusion that flowed in her eyes. He only subconsciously wanted to pull away the red veil covering her face to see what kind of face she would have under the mysterious, fiery colors.
"Li Yue, why do you always use a red veil to cover your face?"
"Naturally, it's because …" She was extremely intelligent, so how could she not know what was on the other side of his bowstring? In an instant, she wanted to stop him from seeing her: "She's too ugly, she's too embarrassed to see others."
"This King does not believe."
Gu Qingli smiled faintly. "If Your Highness had hoped for that peerless beauty under her veil, I'm afraid you'd be disappointed."
Xiao Yixiu's slender jade-like hand reached out slowly. He was about to touch her veil, but he stopped himself. "Miss Li Yue doesn't want to reveal her true appearance. She even belittled her own appearance. Does she think that I am someone who can judge a person by their appearance?"
Gu Qingli subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Provoke really was useful. He didn't want to take on the reputation of being pretty, so he wouldn't easily take off her veil again. Although she could reasonably avoid it, it would eventually freeze the atmosphere and make it difficult for them to get along in the future.
However, she heard him say something that made her extremely speechless, "One day, this king will make you willingly take off this veil. Whether it is appearance or appearance, as long as it is Li Yue, it is enough. "
