C48 Halloween

"It's fine if I don't see an unsightly Li Yue." Gu Qingli finally withdrew her hand from his palm and quickly left his bedroom.

A cool breeze blew over, filling the garden with the fragrance of flowers. Gu Qingli subconsciously felt a little cold on his hands. She touched his hands and actually vaguely recalled the cool temperature of his palms.

She was surprised, looking back to where she had left from. She only saw the dark blue curtain of clouds gently swaying, and there seemed to be a pair of foundation cloud heads faintly peeking out from under the curtain. He was still looking at her from behind?

No, he had a bunch of concubines and madams. Even if Xin Ziyao and the others had evil intentions and were sent to his side, the spies were all gone. At the very least, there were main concubines and Madam Jia.

When she thought of his first wife, Gu Qingli felt a strange sense of grievance. Where would he put his first wife?

Very soon, she was startled. She was actually conflicted about this bastard prince disregarding his main wife and treating the Ghost Doctor flirtatiously. No matter what her identity was, she had never thought of having anything to do with this bastard, right?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She stopped herself from thinking about it any longer. She only had one thought in her mind, which was to get to the corners of the city as soon as possible, cure the poison in his body, and then leave him.

Long live the emperor, Gu Qing Li washed her face and changed clothes. She carefully looked at herself in the mirror, feeling that there was something missing.

"Princess, the Prince is waiting for you outside. The carriage is already prepared, I need to hurry you up."

When she thought about Xiao Yixiu's makeup and his beautiful eyebrows, she felt slightly disappointed. After entering the palace tonight to join in the Emperor's birthday celebration, he actually didn't draw her eyebrows for such an important occasion like he did in the past. In the mirror, his exquisite and cold face was like a dragon drawing, lacking the most important part.

Behind her, Yu Ying dragged a long and long skirt for Gu Qing Li and praised her. "Esteemed wangfei, you're really beautiful, so beautiful that you could topple kingdoms."

Yuli forced a smile and also praised.

However, Gu Qingli didn't pay any attention to them. She slowly walked to the side of the carriage with a depressed mood and looked at the carriage.

Xiao Yixiu, who had been waiting in the car for a long time, lifted a corner of the brocade curtain and swept his eyes over it. He saw a woman wearing a misty purple muslin dress leisurely approaching him.

Yu Ying drew a crescent brow, gently curved, just like a crescent moon. It drew out a trace of warm and gentle elegance, making her cold and proud expression become a bit more gentle.

Three thousand strands of black hair was like a painting of a face. It was so elegant and graceful, yet it gave birth to a thought that was lacking in his heart.

Unfortunately, she was not Li Yue.

Unfortunately, those crescent moon-like eyebrows didn't suit her domineering temperament.

Why did life always have such a flaw? It was like the princess that the emperor had planted next to him. No matter how beautiful, intelligent, and charming she was, she couldn't truly become Xiao Yixiu's pillow bearer.

The Longevity Festival was one of the most sacred banquets in the imperial family. The princes entered the palace the day before their birthday to extend the emperor's birthday. They could stay in the palace for the night and participate in the official birthday banquet the next day.

During such an important festival, even the princes who had been released or sent to war had to return to the palace. Thus, as the commander of the imperial camp, the Yan King who was guarding the northern border had to return to the palace in advance.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gates. Xiao Yixiu helped Gu Qing Li off the carriage, gently and considerately as usual, and the two of them slowly made their way along the White Jade Imperial Road.

This wasn't the first time Gu Qingli had entered the palace, but she still felt a sense of reverence for the palace's majesty, its sternness and majesty.

The splendor of gold and jade revealed the extravagance and coldness of the imperial family. Everyone could not help but think of the brutality of the struggle for power behind the lofty throne.

"Fifth royal brother!" Following the melodious sound of a young voice, Gu Qingli turned to look at the source of the voice. She hadn't expected to run into a prince on the vast imperial road.

Not far away, a young man was walking towards them. He was dressed in a red robe with eight pythons embroidered on it with golden threads, and his red pill robe made people's eyes shine. Unlike Gu Qing Li's crimson clothes, it was a bright red.

After all, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Even though he carried the aura of a noble prince, he still remained youthful. His bright peach blossom eyes were filled with innocence as they scanned Gu Qing Li once more, and he said with a smile, "This must be the Fifth Emperor's sister-in-law?"

Gu Qing Li had originally disliked the princes who went all out to fight for the throne. However, the smiling and harmless young man in front of her made her feel extremely disgusted. He was as clear as an unpolished jade.

"It's me." It was rare for her to reveal a trace of a light smile. Like a cool breeze and a light moon, it brushed against a person's heart, causing it to feel slightly cold and soft.

The young man looked at her absent-mindedly for a moment, and then he smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming in the sky. He was even more beautiful than a woman. "Fifth royal sister-in-law can call me Yi Yan."

Yi Yan! Even Xiao Yi Xiu had never allowed her to call him by name!

If it was anyone else, they would think that Xiao Yiyan was a frivolous person, lacking the dignity of a prince. However, Gu Qingli only felt that he was amiable and amiable, without the slightest bit of arrogance.

As a result, the three of them headed towards the Sky Bearing Hall, where the birthday banquet was being held. The only sounds that could be heard were the laughter and conversation between Xiao Yiyan and Gu Qingli.

Xiao Yi Xiu was silent the entire way. The fate between people was always so strange. Some people were so close to each other, while others were so close to each other that they didn't know what the ending would be between him and the wangfei.

She seemed to ignore her own posture as she chatted happily with Xiao Yiyan. Her expression of hate made Xiao Yiyan, who had originally come to the palace to greet him out of brotherhood, forget his own motive, as if he only had eyes for his sister-in-law.

"Princess, the Sky Bearing Hall is just ahead. It is a majestic place of the royal family, and needs to be quiet and solemn." Xiao Yixiu finally opened his mouth to speak at a leisurely pace.

Only now did Gu Qingli feel that his hand that was originally light and persistent had turned into a tight grip, to the point that her fingernail had left a shallow mark on her palm.

Although it wasn't painful, but to Xiao Yixiu, who was like a mountain that collapsed at the top but did not seem to care at all, it was already an unintentional loss of composure.

Xiao Yiyan couldn't help but take light steps as well. His smiling expression became much more serious, and even the lines of smile in the corner of his eyes became light.

Gu Qing Li turned to look, meeting Xiao Yi's moving gaze. The coldness in his eyes had been replaced by a deep, unfathomable look. Based on her understanding of him, he was in a rather bad mood right now.

Xiao Yixiu's footsteps slowed down, and Gu Qingli was in his grasp. She had no choice but to keep her distance from Xiao Yiyan, who was standing in front of him. Only then did he hear him mutter, "Gu Qingli! No matter what you think, you will always be this king's wangfei. This identity of yours is like a brand in your bloodline, something that can never be removed. "

Then he lifted his eyelids, and under the long black eyelashes, there was a chill in his eyes, and he tightened his grip on her wrist.

"Your Highness, are you saying that your reward for the poison still flows in my blood?" Gu Qingli's voice was calm and cold, and her retaliating eyes were like blazing flames as she confronted him without any signs of retreat.

"Thank you for reminding me over and over again how I should be grateful to you for controlling my freedom with poison." She shook off his hand and walked on alone.
