However, his plan was wrong. In Xiao Yi Xiu's mind, she was nothing more than an insignificant chess piece.

However, Xiao Yi Bei didn't pursue the matter any further. He raised his cup and said with a smile, "Come, let me toast to Fifth Sister-in-law."

Gu Qingli looked at the wine cup, thinking that if she didn't drink it, he would definitely have some tricks up her sleeve, this wine was definitely not right. Xiao Yi Bei's wine had been poured beforehand, and her wine was poured out from the purple jade glass.

She calmly raised her cup. As soon as the wine touched her lips, she immediately understood. She laughed coldly in her heart, but without the slightest hesitation, she imitated Xiao Yi Bei and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good alcohol capacity." Xiao Yi Bei praised, "Listen to the song while waiting for the fifth brother."

Gu Qing Li frowned after a while. "My head is spinning …" he murmured.

Xiao Yi glanced at her.

With that bit of knockout powder, it wouldn't have been difficult for Gu Qing Li to handle, but she had a lot of alcohol to drink. With that alcohol, it was easy to get drunk, and her cheeks flushed red.

Xiao Yibei originally wanted to see when the medicinal properties would take effect, but was intimidated by her boundless beauty. He was so stunned by it that he almost forgot what he was supposed to do.

"Crown Prince... They... "When..."

Xiao Yi Bei suddenly placed his hand on the back of her hand and spoke softly, "Fifth Sister-in-Law, tell me, is the woman from Lin Zhihan's courtyard called Liu Xin?"

He had long since found out that Liu Xin was hidden in the yard! Perhaps he didn't have any evidence, but when these matters were put together, there was no doubt that the matter of Vice Minister Lin being framed was related to Xiao Yi Bei. Even the death of that South Moon envoy was suspicious, perhaps it was because of Liu Xin.

Could it be that Xiao Yi Bei couldn't forget Liu Xin, and wasn't willing to let her go?

"What shooting star?" Gu Qingli's eyes were misty as she pointed at the azure mirror-like sky with an innocent smile. "Look, the sky's still bright. It's not even summer night yet, where's the meteor coming from?"

Xiao Yi Bei's expression stiffened. When he saw her confused expression from laughing, he couldn't help but feel slightly moved. He hadn't thought that other than Gu Qingruo, who was only famous in the capital, the Gu family would also have such a gorgeous Gu Qingli.

"Did Xiao Yi Xiu never tell you this?"

"Hmm? What did he say? Looking at the shooting stars? "Ugh …" The prince never watches shooting stars with me... "He only likes the new Madame Jia. When would he have the time to bother with an old person like me …" Gu Qing took the opportunity to mock Xiao Yi Xiu as she pretended to be dizzy from the drug's effects.

It would be better if his reputation was ruined by her. Who told him to always put her at a disadvantage?

"Men, help Princess Mo into the inner chamber." A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Yi Bei's face. He was finally unable to maintain his crown prince demeanor, and desire rolled in his eyes.

Gu Qingli could feel the palm of his hand stroking the back of his hand. Following her wrist down, she heard him chuckle, "I heard that Xiao Yixiu was sick and had stopped doing so long ago. You've never slept with him ever since you entered the estate. Is this true?"

Gu Qingli was furious, thinking, "You're the one who can't do it. Your entire family can't do it anymore." They had forgotten that they were brothers, even Xiao Yi Xiu had cursed them.

Xiao Yi Bei's hand had already slipped into her sleeve. A sticky and sticky feeling made her feel disgusted, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Coincidentally, two palace maids came to support her, she smiled and stood up unsteadily, as if she couldn't even stand up, and even pressed down with her weight on the palace maids.

Gu Qing Li took a few steps to the side of the boat, then suddenly pushed aside the palace maid and jumped into the river.

Although Xiao Yi Bei was a lecherous man, as a crown prince, he cultivated both martial and civil arts. His skills were actually not bad, and he didn't expect this little girl to play such a trick right under his nose.

Gu Qing Li jumped down, creating a white wave a few feet long. Amidst the splashing of the water, he couldn't be seen at all. He shouted in fury, "Go down and fish for him, quickly!"

All the palace maids turned pale with fright, but none of them dared to jump off the pleasure boat.

Xiao Yi had always liked women. There were always more maids and eunuchs by his side. These girls who entered the palace at such a young age were mostly pretty girls from a small family. How could they possibly know how to swim?

He angrily went down from the second floor of the ferry. He had wanted to jump into the river, but it would be dishonorable if he jumped down with his status. He hesitated for a moment and could only watch the lotus leaves float by as Gu Qing swam further and further away.

This woman could actually swim, this was truly out of his expectations.

Under Xiao Yi Bei's order, a eunuch ran over from the distance. He shouted angrily, "Jump down and capture her!"

Some eunuchs had just jumped in, but the surface of the river had gradually calmed down. They swam forward a few feet and lost their target as if at a loss. They couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Xiao Yi Bei ignored their helpless expressions and yelled, "Split into four directions and search!"

From afar, a few people walked towards the imperial garden. The one in the lead was wearing a white satin robe. Although the face couldn't be seen from afar, it was so plain that only Xiao Yi Xiu could wear it.

If Princess Mo were to drown in the Imperial River, it would be very difficult for him to wash away the responsibility. If she were to be picked up, he would probably not say anything good about herself, and might as well avoid the limelight.

He ordered, "Come back, all of you come back ashore."

A few eunuchs swam awkwardly on the pleasure boat, and Xiao Yi Bei ordered his men to transfer to the pleasure boat and row into the distance.

The few people on the other side approached the railing of the Imperial River and looked down. They could only see the Skypiercing Lotus Leaf, clear as a mirror. There wasn't even a slight breeze, so how could there be any other movements?

The one leading them was Xiao Yi Xiu. His pale face seemed to have become even paler as he gazed into the distance, looking in every direction.

Behind him, Xiao Yiyan and a few palace maids and eunuchs followed. They were quite flustered as well. "There seemed to be someone jumping off the cruise liner just now. I wonder if it's the wangfei?"

Xiao Yiyan said, "You're so far away, but you can see someone jumping down?"

The eunuch did not seem to be sure, so he fell silent.

However, one of the palace maids said anxiously, "When this servant saw someone leaving with the wangfei, this servant was sure that it was the person at the crown prince's side. That pleasure boat was also the one that the crown prince was riding on!"

This young palace maid was none other than Nan Xin. When she saw that Gu Qing had not returned since leaving, she felt that something was amiss. Thus, she found Xiao Yiyan and told him to bring his over as well.

Suddenly, from several zhang away, the water rippled, as if there was a fish leaping. However, it only splashed a bit. Then a dripping head lifted from the river, wiped its face, and looked at them.

"Princess!" This time, they were closer. Everyone could clearly see that the hair at the side of the river had been scattered. Her black hair was like a waterfall, covering the surface of the water. It was none other than Princess Mo.

Xiao Yi Xiu suddenly pressed down on the railing and jumped into the river.

This action caused everyone to cry out in alarm.

Although Xiao Yixiu's speed was still quick and agile, and he had used to be quite good at swimming, everyone knew that it was just an appearance. In fact, he was extremely weak, so how could he withstand the cold of spring.

Gu Qing swam as he watched Xiao Yixiu approach her, waving at him from afar.

She was as surprised as anyone else when he jumped down, and she swam faster and faster, but as she watched him come closer and closer, her heart began to beat faster and faster, as if there was a warm current she had never felt before, a sour feeling in her eyes.
