C50 unintentional

Fortunately, at this moment, three figures hurried over on the imperial path. It was Xiao Yi Mo who had brought the second concubine with him into the hall. He clasped his hands and kowtowed to her.

He only looked at Xiao Yi Mo and said, "Please forgive me royal father. I did not come late on purpose, but because I heard that royal father had been ill recently, so I came late in search of the Ghost Doctor Li Yue outside the palace in search of a cure for his father's body. I came late in a hurry because of this."

Gu Qingli was shocked. She hadn't seen Xiao Yimo since she left the manor. Where did the Ghost Doctor's divine formula come from? Then he thought that if the Emperor had not been seriously ill, he could have asked for a prescription from one of the famous doctors in the capital and would have received the same medicine.

The reason why he wanted to win the title of Ghost Doctor Li Yue was because the Ghost Doctor's name had become famous in the capital recently. She had become a mysterious figure fought over by various forces and thus, this recipe was even more valuable.

If so, then his lateness was just a show.

As expected, however, the Emperor's expression improved as a faint smile could be seen in his eyes as he watched Xiao Yimo stand up and respectfully present a medicinal formula.

"Mo'er sure is considerate." The Emperor nodded with approval as he watched Xiao Yi Mo return to his seat. He then glanced at He Yiyu. She could no longer hide her stomach, so it was obvious that if she was born with the status of Emperor's eldest grandson, then it would naturally be extremely precious.

The crown prince and the Yan King looked at Xiao Yi Mo with hostility. Not only did he win first place, he also won the favor of the emperor. He even brought a pregnant imperial concubine to show off.

The birthday banquet officially began with loud laughter, the sound of drums, the sound of the music playing and the music dancing.

Only Gu Qing Li focused on the Emperor's expression of fatigue and depression amidst the din and the sounds of the wine cups.

That sound was completely wrong. It didn't sound like an internal deficiency, but rather …

"What are you daydreaming about?" Xiao Yixiu's low voice interrupted her concentration as she looked at him in astonishment.

His gaze was fixed on her, and he stared at her for who knows how long.

"Why did you block that attack for me just now?" Although he didn't know what she had done, he knew that she had helped him block Xiao Yijin's evil intentions.

Gu Qingli said lightly, "You're overthinking it. It's just that it's not intentional."

"Being able to block Xiao Yijin's inner force, your unintentional status is already quite high."

Gu Qing Li remained calm and collected. When he looked up, he saw that Xiao Yi Jin wasn't planning on letting them go, so he raised his glass and walked over. He smiled at Xiao Yi Xiu and said, "Fifth Imperial Brother, I, your little brother, toast you.

Xiao Yi Xiu looked at the wine in the cup and smiled faintly as he tapped the rim of the cup with Nie Tian. However, he only took a sip. He had been taking medicine nonstop. The forbidden smell of alcohol was extremely strong in his cup, but he could not drink as much as he used to.

Xiao Yi Jin drank it all in one gulp. With a mocking smile, he said, "Fifth royal brother, do you look down on royal brother? Or are you so useless that drinking a cup of wine will harm your body?"

His voice was neither loud nor low. Coincidentally, it didn't reach deep into the imperial palace where the emperor and his imperial concubines resided. However, the surrounding princes and princesses could clearly hear his words.

The crown prince and Xiao Yi Mo laughed in a low voice. They couldn't hide the gloating in their eyes.

For a moment, he had the feeling that this woman, who had once followed behind him and begged him not to even look at him, was actually becoming more and more arrogant and cold ever since he had entered the Prince Mo Mansion. On the contrary, Gu Qingruo, who once shocked the world with her dancing, was becoming more and more unsightly in his eyes.

"Little Sister Qing Li, are you happy after marrying into the Prince Mo's mansion? "If I had known that my fifth brother's body was so weak, that night …" It was obvious that Xiao Yi Mo wanted to remember and make up for his mistakes.

Gu Qing Li replied with a cold smile: "Duke Mu, although you took my sister as your first wife, since you married me, I think you shouldn't address me so intimately. Instead, you should address me as the eldest son of the imperial family. As for our prince's body, I don't need to worry about it. Only I know how good his body is, right? So, where did the two princes judge this? "

Xiao Yi Mo's expression was dark, and he could not continue after being interrupted.

She casually took the cup from Xiao Yi Xiu and shook it gently. With a smile, she said, "My master doesn't drink all sorts of wine. It depends on whether the other party has enough face to drink all the wine in one cup."

Xiao Yijin didn't like Gu Qing Li's words. After a moment of shock, his interest in Gu Qing Li increased as he smiled, "I wonder what sort of face you'd need, Fifth Imperial Aunt's, to have?"

Gu Qingli smiled: "I've heard that Prince Yan was recommended by my prince and took over the command position. Since you're able to sit in the same general position as my prince, you should be able to conquer the same enemies and gain the same 'War God' position. Only then will you have the qualifications to talk about the 'brotherhood'."

Although she didn't know much about Xiao Yi Jin and Xiao Yi Xiu's past, from her long experience in the Wang Mansion, she could roughly guess from Xiao Yi Jin's words.

She just hadn't thought that Xiao Yixiu would have a title similar to 'War God' in the past. Compared to his current weakened state, it was entirely possible to imagine how much of a gap there would be in his mental state, from the invincible general to the state where he could not even use his internal energy.

Xiao Yijin's expression was even darker than earlier. It was obvious that Gu Qingli's mocking words had hit her weak spot.

The war at the northern border had lasted for a long time. Xiao Yijin had never defeated his greatest enemy, the Crown Prince of the Northern Chu, Helian Yu. And Helian Yu's only defeat had come from Xiao Yixiu.

Gu Qingli smiled as she put down the cup of wine. Coincidentally, she met Xiao Yixiu's gaze and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The expression on his face was warm and tranquil, as if it was the collapse of Mount Tai and did not affect his appearance. He clearly did not care about the ridicule from Xiao Yi Mo and Xiao Yi Jin. On the contrary, the look in her eyes, which had changed from the old alienation and gloom to probing and curiosity, had gradually turned into a moving, gentle smile.

Actually, this gentleness wasn't considered unfamiliar to her, but he had only revealed it to the Ghost Doctor, Li Yue, and as the wangfei Gu Qingli, she had never seen him look at her with such an expression before.

The princes began to toast the emperor in turn. Although it was not the day of the birthday banquet and there were no officials from the other dynasties to congratulate him, the congratulatory speech was still extremely majestic. The emperor gave each toast one by one, with a somewhat fatherly expression on his face.

In the Northern Frontier, Xiao Yijin's enemies were Sui Guo, a small country that was on good terms with the Northern Chu. However, Xiao Yijin had always refused to be enlightened and often provoked others along the way.

The difficulty lied in the fact that this small country was subordinate to the Northern Chu, holding the throat of Dongyuan, and was the gateway to the Northern Chu. In order to protect this gateway, the Northern Chu had also dispatched troops to help many times, until Xiao Yixiu was defeated a few years ago.

Although he did not get the title of War God, and his opponent was not Helian Yu, but that was not important. The Emperor was very satisfied with the victory at the northern border, at least in the short term, he could make the Sui Nation submit and restrain themselves.

Thus, Xiao Yijin received the most amazing reward.

"..." "Jin'er won the battle at the north. She is indeed a national general. She is not inferior to your fifth brother." The Emperor was really generous. Although Xiao Yijin had won a few matches, even he himself knew that his battle achievements were incomparable to Xiao Yixiu's back then.

However, he was not ashamed at all, smiling without saying a word, with a look of arrogance on his face as he looked down on the other princes.
