C66 wind-cold

"So that's just the taste of the rare medicinal herbs? But what is she going to do? " Xiao Yi Jin couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head.

Gu Qing Li finally made it back to the side hall before Xiao Yi Xiu did. He had just taken off his red clothes and hid them, so he didn't even have time to change into his own clothes before Xiao Yi Xiu entered.

When he saw her disheveled appearance, he was startled. "Change into your clothes and leave the palace."

"Why are you returning to the manor so late?" In the middle of the night, the emperor didn't keep them in the palace for the night, so Gu Qingli was a bit surprised.

"Last night, I stayed for an entire night, but so many things have happened. The palace is a place of conflict, it's best for me to leave as soon as possible."

Gu Qingli also felt that this made sense, so she hastily changed her clothes and left under the guidance of the eunuch.

When they arrived at the square, each of the princes got into their respective carriages and left the palace. Only Xiao Yimo was nowhere to be seen, probably to discuss matters with Imperial Concubine Ling.

Seated on the carriage, Xiao Yi Xiu was coughing even more heavily. He wasn't pretending. It seemed that the chill in the Imperial River during the day had worsened his illness.

Gu Qingli couldn't bear to watch any longer. She reached out her hand to pat his back a few times, but he lifted his hand to push her away. With a cold voice, she said, "Stay away from this king."

She had been used to his sudden heat and cold, but she had always thought that their relationship had improved after the Imperial Garden, and she had never expected that he would return to his old cold temperament in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't Gu Qingli's personality to stick her hot face to her cold butt. She instantly changed colour, brushing her sleeves as she distanced herself from him.

Xiao Yixiu kept coughing uncontrollably. Although her ears constantly felt as if they pierced the heart, his face was still cold as he ignored him.

After returning to the Mo King's Manor, the two of them were like strangers.

Gu Qingli returned to her room. Her anger over being rejected by Xiao Yixiu's cold face had not yet subsided. She decided to ignore him and went to bed on her own.

After rolling on the bed for a while, she remembered that he had coughed up so much along the way. If there really was another illness, it would be bad for the poison injuries on his body. She could not help but get up.

When she pulled out the corner she had just acquired, she was startled for a moment.

In the end, she had finally gotten the pill. By the time she was done concocting it, Li Yue's identity should have disappeared from the Mo King's Manor, right?

Moonlight shone down on the simple wooden house by Xiaoyao's side, the original color of the wooden tables and chairs. The medicinal fragrance filled the room, lingering around for a long time, but there was no sign of the mysterious Ghost Doctor Li Yue.

Xiao Yixiu pushed open the door and looked at the unchanging furniture in the room. Only the black cat that Li Yue called "Miao'er" was curled up on the chair.

Hearing the noise, Black Jade arched his back and looked at him warily. After determining that he was one of his masters, he relaxed his body and jumped out of the door.

When Gu Qingli entered the house dressed in her blue robe, she had never expected that there would be someone sitting quietly inside the unlit wooden house.

There seemed to be a trace of surprise in his eyes when he saw her. Before he could even open his mouth, he violently coughed once more.

"What's wrong with you, your highness?" she asked, knowing.

"It's fine. Maybe he's caught a cold. Come over and let Lady Li Yue see."

Gu Qingli sat down across from him and lit a candle to check his pulse.

"The cold air entering the body is very bad for the prince's current health. How did he suffer such a heavy cold after entering the palace?"

Xiao Yi Xiu didn't reply. He looked at her with eyes as gentle as water. "It's so late. Where did Miss Li Yue go?"

"Your highness won't be able to find out where Li Yue is." She walked over to the medicine rack, took some medicine, and put it in the casserole to soak.

Xiao Yi Xiu was helping her get wood for a fire. When she saw that he was doing this very naturally, she couldn't help but ask, "Prince Jin Zun Yu is expensive, why would he do such crude work?"

"Back then, on the battlefield, I was willing to share hardships with my soldiers. There is nothing that I can't do personally." He seemed to be reminiscing about the past, his eyes distant and full of nostalgia.

"Those who have never been to the battlefield will never understand the taste of fighting in person. No matter how harsh the environment was, they had to advance step by step to kill their way through it. Even when there wasn't enough food, they would dig out the roots and eat them … "

Seemingly feeling that he had said too much, he smiled at her and said, "Sorry for the ridicule, Lady Li Yue."

"The Prince's current weak body … It is hard to imagine such a fierce military career. " The two of them sat facing each other, separated by a red clay stove. The flickering flames made their faces slightly red.

"It seems to be a matter of my previous life. This King can barely remember it."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell Your Highness one thing. The medicine to cure the poison has been prepared. Wait a few days for me to go through and prepare a prescription to remove the poison from your body."

Xiao Yixiu's eyes were filled with shock. He clearly hadn't expected this to happen.

"His Royal Highness might be able to return to the battlefield soon."

"Impossible, I just saw Fu Ziya in the palace last night, and today you said that all the ingredients are complete?" Although he had seen that the tribute had been given to Xiao Yi Jin, he still hadn't thought of a better way to get it.

"Do you not believe me, your highness?" Gu Qingli took out a corner that looked like ice and placed it in front of him.

"How the hell did you get it?" Xiao Yi Xiu gradually retracted his gaze as sharp as a sword as he stared at the item.

"Naturally, it was exchanged from the hands of the Yan King."

Xiao Yixiu was silent for a long time before connecting the events of the past few days together in his heart.

He had placed Gu Qingli's embroidered shoes in Wei Ronghua's palace. He had calculated that Wei Ronghua was the empress and would definitely frame Imperial Concubine Lan for her. With the empress's personality, the moment Madam Jia entered the Prince Mo's mansion, her undercover spies were exterminated. Furthermore, since Xiao Yijin had returned to the capital with great merits, how could she not be considered a big threat?

It was only natural then to blame the imperial concubine.

Since the empress had set up this trap and forced all eight palace maids into a room, she naturally had a way to pry open their mouths and make them confess in unison. She wanted them to bite the hand of Imperial Concubine Lan, but for some reason, they turned their backs on her, all because they were trying to weaken her power.

Xiao Yi Xiu had thought that the empress would change her mind to deal with Imperial Concubine Ling first, but now it seemed that there was another story behind it.

"Did you get those palace maids to collude with you and point all the evidence at Minister Liu?"

"That's right."

"You did it for this man?"

Gu Qing Li slightly nodded.

"But how could you be so well-informed? Father only gifted it to the Yan King last night, and tonight, you and the Yan King will work together to attack Imperial Concubine Ling …" And how exactly are you going to enter and exit the palace to do all of this? "

"I have my own methods."

"Don't tell me you're in contact with Xiao Yijin as well?" Thinking of this, he felt as if there was something at the bottom of his heart. He refused to think into it.
