C15 Missing from month
The news of Cinnamomum ordering his servants to beat up Miss Li Yue quickly spread to Xiao Yixiu's ears.
Gu Qingli was very clear that with Xiao Yixiu's cautious style with his eyes and ears, there was no one who was not his man.
Li Yue's disappearance was a good opportunity for him to teach Xin Ziyao a lesson.
As expected, he quickly heard the news about Xin Ziyao being grounded.
Gu Qingli laughed coldly, Xiao Yixiu's punishment was so light, it was truly out of her expectations. Wasn't that person ruthless, merciless, and merciless, why did he have to be so merciful to Xin Ziyao?
Seeing her expression, Yu Ying carefully said: "Esteemed wangfei, don't blame the Duke, he also has some difficult matters."
Gu Qingli's heart stirred as he swept his gaze over her. He had always felt that Yu Ying was not a simple girl. Even though he knew that she was probably the spy Xiao Yixiu had set up by his side, at least he was careful these few days and didn't do anything too excessive, so he didn't make things difficult for her.
But today, there were some hidden meanings behind Yu Ying's words, causing her to feel weird: "Yu Ying, what do you want to say?"
"Cinnamomum... "She's the empress's distant niece."
So it turned out that Xiao Yixiu did not love Xin Ziyao, but had this layer of scruples.
Gu Qingli started to understand.
Due to the disappearance of Li Yue, Gu Qingli slept soundly that night. He no longer needed to attend to the medicine at the medicinal garden s or try out the medicine. In any case, Xiao Yixiu's condition had stabilized recently, so she would be fine even without acupuncture every few days.
After resting for two days and hearing that the dark guards of the Duke Palaces were looking for Li Yue everywhere, and that everyone in the Palace was extremely worried. Gu Qingli reckoned that it was about time Gu Qingli showed himself, but he actually closed the door.
"Princess, why is your complexion so bad these days?"
Actually, Gu Qingli had only put on a pale makeup so that he looked more sickly, so that he wouldn't have to recuperate and worry so that Yu Ying and Yu Li wouldn't be suspicious.
"Nothing much, I was just infected by the cold." "She coughed a few times, as if she was really sick." I heard that Prince has been feeling a bit weak recently, so it's best to stay away from me. "
"This King has been feeling a lot better recently."
"I heard that it was all due to that Miss Li Yue?"
"Yes." He said lightly, "However, she had some conflict with the Cinnamomum and left the manor."
"I'm afraid that your highness rarely goes out of his way to do good deeds, and that the disappearance of the genius doctor is your retribution, right?"
Xiao Yixiu seemed to know that she would mock and ridicule this, and he slowly nodded. "Actually, you should be more worried about this duke's body.
Gu Qingli was startled.
He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve. She was very familiar with the blue and blue flower patterns on it.
He held the pill out of the bottle in front of her with a smile that was not a smile. It was as if he was a god that could control everything, looking down at her from above.
She understood that he was here to send off this month's antidote, so she could only take a deep breath and swallow it. The poison on her body was actually a prescription that could be used to cure it, but even in the Duke Palaces, she was unable to find all the ingredients required. In the past few days, she had used Xiao Yixiu's body to collect a lot of rare and precious herbs, but she was unable to find the most important Volcano Lingzhi, so she could only obediently accept his treatment.
"Prince, can you tell me the truth?"
He looked up at her.
"You want to marry me so that I can be like the Cinnamomum, an obedient puppet?"
There were slight ripples in Xiao Yixiu's eyes, and she said indifferently: "You are much more dangerous than her. How is she qualified to consume this king's poison?"
"Hmph."
"However, your performance has been quite good recently. Just continue to be obedient." He glanced at her, "Rest well for now, in a few days it will be your eldest sister's wedding to Fifth Emperor, don't look so ill at that time."
Gu Qingli was startled, but he forgot about this matter. A few days ago, Prime Minister's Estate had indeed sent a bridal note over. However, thinking about how disgusting Xiao Yimo was, they were truly a match made in heaven.
"I don't want to go."
"If we don't go and congratulate them, how can we face them?" Xiao Yixiu's voice was soft and slow, with a hint of a strange meaning.
Could it be that he was going to play some tricks for Xiao Yimo's wedding? This liveliness could not be ignored.
Gu Qingli nodded his head in agreement.
Rumors had recently spread in the capital that the only son of the Zhang Family was coughing out blood, but he was treated by a woman in red; that the mother of the Assistant Minister of the Government Department, who was in her seventies, had bought a birthday suit, but was saved by a woman in red; that someone who had been blind for more than ten years, was now able to see things clearly.
When this news spread, the Prince Mo's Mansion's hidden guards looked for clues.
Gu Qingli was naturally trying to lure people to find him. After all, she had not reached her goal yet, and the poison in Xiao Yixiu's body was still a difficult problem that she wanted to overcome. She had not decided to give up.
That day, she was treating a red lady in the biggest brothel in the capital, Xuanhua House. Originally, she did not want to come to this filthy place, but that Miss Du Ying's little maidservant was extremely loyal, kneeling in front of her and crying for a long time, had finally moved her to sympathize with him, so she came over.
When they heard that Du Ying had not seen guests for more than ten days, and that she was occasionally forced to come out to meet her guests, she could only play a song of her lute and accompany her guests to drink. Under her forced smile, many customers expressed their displeasure towards the old procuress.
"Get out, get out!" When Gu Qingli stepped out of the door, he heard her beautiful voice, filled with faint anger, as if she was releasing her emotions.
The little maidservant who had begged her to come to his doorstep, Jin Rou, was crying sorrowfully. She begged her to give the divine doctor a pulse, but the angry female voice still refused, "Tell him to scram, I'm not sick, I don't look for any doctor!"
This is strange, if one were to say that they are wholeheartedly seeking death, why not just solve it with a piece of white silk?
Gu Qingli thought about it, then ignored Jin Rou's call for her to wait outside, directly pushing open the door and barging in.
Compared to the palace, the inside of the house was a different kind of magnificence. It had a vulgar yet expensive style, a long yellow pear case with a purple sandalwood incense bed, and three fine carved railings on each side.
The person who was somewhat out of place in this room was a young lady dressed in white, her hair scattered over her shoulders. She was originally sitting diagonally on the beauty bed, her long hair tied up like a messy cloud, her pale cheeks still wet from undried tears.
The beauty of the woman was not as dusty as Gu Qingli had imagined. Instead, she had the grace of a fairy, causing people to feel pity for her.
However, her eyes showed fear and anger, as though Gu Qingli's appearance would bring her disaster. She picked up the soft pillow and threw it towards the door: "Get lost, get lost, don't come over here!"
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingli held the soft pillow in his hand. The good impression of meeting her in the beginning had been completely destroyed by the soft pillow. Her face sank as she laughed coldly: "Could it be that your maidservant has begged me to come just to look at your eyes?"
"No no no, Godly Doctor Li Yue, don't you dare be angry, my young miss is very pitiful ? She just doesn't dare to trust anyone anymore ? " Jin Rou knelt in front of her and wailed.
"Get up, Jin Rou, don't beg her! I don't need a doctor! "
"Miss! You're not in a good condition, and if you keep yourself locked up like this and refuse to receive guests, Mom will beat you to death sooner or later! "
"I don't care!" Du Ying was throwing things around again, he almost smashed everything he could grab onto in his hands, then he started crying like a madman.
Even so, it did not affect her gentleness.
