"What... What void?" The old lady's first reaction was to deny it.

"Grandmother is getting old and starting to forget? Or has she pampered you for too long, thinking that no one would dare to come to you no matter what you do?" Gu Li's expression was as calm as water, with no expression of joy or anger at all.

The old lady sat up with difficulty supporting her body, "Li'er, I don't understand what you are saying. What are you doing here?"

Gu Li's eyes blinked, "My surname is Gu. This surname allows me to tolerate everything that the Gu family makes difficult for me. But grandma, there is a limit to everything. If it is too much, it will be bad." She got up and walked slowly.The figure was extremely huge illuminated by the candlelight. "You poisoned me, I can understand. But you shouldn't use Void."

The old lady looked at Gu Li who was approaching step by step, and stepped back little by little. "Li'er, what nonsense are you talking about? What void? What poison? I didn't do that! You can't wrong me!"

"Is it wronged?" Gu Li sat by the bed and looked at the old lady's old face. "Whether the granddaughter wronged you or not, grandmother knows best. Doctor Lu has already said it. Could it be that he wronged you too?"

The old lady's face was pale and her breathing was short of breath. "You...you can't... frighten me like this!"

Gu Li nodded. "Granddaughter won't scare grandma." Her right hand was raised, and the slender fingertips were like sharp knives. "It is reasonable to say that grandma is old, and my elders, granddaughter shouldn't come. But you are the Princess of Feng'an!" Gu Li's fingertips had already condensed. "No one can hurt Qiqi in front of me. Since you did it, you should bear the consequences."

The old lady only felt a chill entering her body, and suddenly her whole body was icy cold, like falling into an ice cave. "You... what did you do?"

Gu Li stood up. "You are my grandmother, I will not kill you. But you are old, you should spend more time in bed." Gu Li's expression was colder than ice and snow. "Everyone in the Gu family said I was disobedient and unfilial. Now, grandma, look at how restrained I was before."

The old lady felt as if cotton was stuffed in her throat, she wanted to shout but couldn't.Her whole body was cold, even if she was wrapped tightly in a quilt, it would not help. "You...you..." The words that came out of my mouth seemed to be frozen into ice, and I could no longer make a sentence.

"Grandmother, you have to live well, and see how I can make the century-old Gu family go down little by little." Gu Li's last expression in the eyes of the old lady was a beautiful smile.The self-confidence and killing intent in that smile are like the red lotus blooming in the raging fire, scary yet fatally attractive.

Early the next morning, the Gu family found that the old lady was paralyzed in bed and could not move.After asking several times, the old lady's eyes moved, and she seemed unable to speak.The Gu family rushed to invite Dr. Lu, but learned that Dr. Lu left the capital last night and disappeared.

After receiving the news, Gu Haozhi keenly felt that the matter should be related to Gu Li.But the most important thing right now is to treat the old lady's illness.Wu Siran handed over the sign and invited the imperial physician from the palace with the help of Concubine Wu Xian.The imperial doctor diagnosed and said it was a stroke.The current plan can only be raised slowly, maybe one day it will recover.But everyone knows there is little hope.

Princess Palace.

The eldest princess asked people to take the new clothes to Kangyuan.Both Gu Li and Qin Qi were already up.Gu Li got up early, and after Qin Qi lived with her, he had to sleep on Gu Li's arm every night to sleep well.As long as Gu Li moves, she will wake up.So when Gu Li got up, she would get up too, without anyone urging her at all.What happened last night, Gu Li tapped Qin Xi's acupoints, but Qin Xi didn't know anything about it.

Both of them had already had breakfast, seeing the Eldest Princess coming in, they hurriedly saluted.The eldest princess asked the maid to put the two sets of new clothes and newly made jewelry on the table. "Try on the new clothes to see if there is anything wrong with it, and ask the tailor to change it quickly."

The two looked at the newly made clothes together, one in lilac color and the other in rouge color.They are all very soft colors.Qin Qi looked at the rouge-colored dress with a smile on his face, "Sister Li must be very beautiful in this!"

Gu Li frowned slightly, she didn't like this bright color.But seeing the stars in Princess Lianzhang's eyes, she went to change without saying anything.

The eldest princess said to the silly Qin Qi: "Go and change quickly, don't be fooling around all the time."

"Yes." Qin Qi dragged his voice playfully.

Qin Qi needed rice and millet to serve him, and Gu Li had already changed his clothes.Walking out of the screen, everyone's eyes brightened.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "My vision is indeed right. Li'er's good looks should be wearing such a bright color."

Appropriate tailoring sets off the slim waist and long legs.The rouge color is softer than the big red, but it also combines the characteristics of gorgeousness.Gu Li has a fair complexion and picturesque eyebrows.After wearing this suit, I look forward to my appearance, and the corners of my eyebrows and eyes are beautiful.The thin lips are not pointy but vermilion, just slightly pursed, people can't look away.

Xiuru whispered in the eldest princess's ear: "It is a beauty like Miss Li who is worthy of our princess."

The eldest princess is really a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. "Hurry up and put all the jewelry on her."

The jewelry is completely made to match the suit.Xiang Momo personally came over to comb Gu Li's hair.She is an old nanny in the palace, and her hair combing skills are top-notch in the palace.Knowing that Gu Li doesn't like complicated and luxurious things, Mother Xiang combed Gu Li's hair into a bun.A golden branch of the Eight Treasures is inserted in the hair, and the tassels are strung with fine pearls.Qin Qi picked out these pearls one by one by flipping through his small box. Although each pearl is small, it is round and lovely, and there is no one-off product.There are also two pearl flowers side by side in the hairpin, both made of white jade.The gentle jade quality is extraordinary at first glance.

Dressed up here.Qin Qi also came out over there.Her clothes also fit her temperament, soft and delicate, delicate and agile.It's just that as soon as Qin Qi came out, his eyes couldn't be separated from Gu Li.

"Sister Li is so beautiful!" She jumped to Gu Li's dressing table in two steps, looking at the delicate beauty in the brass mirror, she really wanted to drool, what should I do?

Gu Li was still dressing up, not daring to move.He also looked at Qiqi in the mirror and smiled slightly.There is endless charm in the eyes.

The eldest princess on the side shook her head lightly.If such a beauty doesn't have strong martial arts, how can she protect herself from harm?

After finishing dressing up, Gu Li stood up to make way.Mother Xiang began to comb Qin Qi's hair.

"Mommy, I don't want the double-ringed bun. I want to wear a bun that matches my sister Li." Qin Qi smiled and took the hand of Xiangyu, acting like a spoiled child.

"Success. The mama will agree to whatever the princess says." Madam Xiang has served in the eldest princess's mansion for more than ten years and watched Qin Qi grow up.Combing Qin Qi's hair now is much more careful than combing Gu Li's hair, for fear of losing a hair.

The eldest princess was very satisfied with Gu Li's makeup.She called another old woman beside her and said, "At tomorrow's banquet, the emperor will announce the news that I have accepted you as a adopted daughter, and at the same time he will make you a princess. You can follow Mother Qu to learn the etiquette of receiving a seal."

"Yes." Gu Li followed Nanny Qu to the side to learn etiquette.

As a result, just as Qin Qi finished dressing up, Nanny Qu came back with Gu Li.

"So fast?" The eldest princess was surprised. "Have you finished learning?" Royal etiquette, that's a whole set of actions.How can you learn so fast?

Nanny Qu bowed and said, "Returning to Your Highness, Miss Li has long been familiar with this set of etiquette. The servants just do a little, and Miss Li will know."

The eldest princess looked at Gu Li in surprise.Gu Li touched his head and said, "I learned it in the academy. It's just that I didn't learn it firmly, and I couldn't tell which country's etiquette it was. Just now, Nanny Qu made a movement, and I remembered it."

Feiyejin Academy mainly teaches princesses and princesses of various countries that etiquette must not be neglected.Gu Li has already learned this aspect, but she is not from the royal family after all, so she doesn't care much about etiquette.After learning a lot, it becomes a bit chaotic, and it is often difficult to tell which country belongs to which country.

"I've heard the name of Feiyejin Academy a long time ago. It's just that it's better to see it than to hear it. Only after seeing Li'er can I know how powerful it is." The eldest princess praised Gu Li while pulling Qin Qi to her before.

"I thought you two ignored me." Qin Qi felt a little dissatisfied at being ignored.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Stingy. I boast that you are jealous of your elder sister?"

Qin Qi hugged the eldest princess' arm. "Mommy, I won't be jealous if you praise my sister so much. But don't ignore me." She stood up straight, and turned around to show off the whole outfit, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Sister Xiang combed the hanging bun for her.Her accessories are all small and many crystal beads flowers.The little bell she likes is tied on the braid with a ribbon of the same color, and it makes a crisp sound with every move she makes.

"Well, not bad!" The eldest princess was quite satisfied.

Obviously mother's approval is not enough.Qin Qi came over and took Gu Li's arm and said, "Sister Li, does Qi Qi look good?"

Gu Li was not used to showing affection in front of so many people, so he just nodded and said, "It's so beautiful."

This sounds like perfunctory.But Qin Qi didn't care.As long as Gu Li said it, she would believe it.

The eldest princess came to see the effect.Seeing that the results are good, and I won't be rude tomorrow, I feel relieved.Let Simi wait for the two of them to change their clothes and remove their makeup, and she took them away.

Qin Qi changed clothes and came out, Gu Li was drinking tea and waiting for her. "My mother left just like that?" Qin Qi looked at the door and asked strangely.

"Otherwise?" Gu Li asked.

Qin Qi waved Si Mi to go out, she sat opposite Gu Li and said, "Yesterday she was very angry. Today, she didn't mention anything about the Gu family. My mother loves me the most. See how I can let the Gu family go so easily when I'm poisoned." ?”

Gu Li smiled knowingly, "Maybe it's because tomorrow is the Qianqiu Festival. Your Highness doesn't want to make trouble."

"En." Qin Qi thought about it and it made sense.

Anguo Gongfu.

Qin Wenyuan watched his younger brother bury his head in writing all morning, and came over to take a look curiously, and said with a smile, "You... you hate the Gu family so much?"

Qin Wenbo's piece of paper was full of crimes committed by the Gu family. If all of these were reported, the Gu family would definitely be executed.

"The person who harmed my family's Qiqi is worth my time to deal with." Qin Wenbo held up the piece of paper he wrote, and said while reading, "Brother, before you said that the Gu family is the one you want to keep, then this This time I'll just show them a little color. How?"

Qin Wenyuan pretended to be pleased. "Your means are always thunderous, why are you interested in playing with the Gu family this time?"

Qin Wenbo smiled mysteriously. "Someone wants to do something, I don't want to take the credit of others."

Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, "Your goddaughter?" Seeing that Qin Wenbo didn't refute, he knew he had guessed right. "Speaking of which, I heard this morning that the old lady of the Gu family had a stroke and couldn't get out of bed."

Qin Wenbo frowned.I knew in my heart that it should be Gu Lidong's hand.He didn't expect Gu Li to be so ruthless once he made a move.

"That girl is a character." It's really rare to get a compliment from Prime Minister Zuo.

Queen's birthday, Qianqiu Festival.The whole world celebrates.

Various celebrations are arranged during the day.In the evening, there is a grand banquet.The queen's birthday was celebrated together in the harem.

The Liuli Hall in the imperial palace has always been a place for banquets.The eldest princess wore high-grade court clothes and brought Qin Qi and Gu Li into the palace together.The two carriages were bestowed by the emperor, and they could drive directly into the palace.This kind of honor can only be enjoyed by the eldest princess and the mother and daughter of Feng'an County.The wives and ladies who had already got off the carriage at the gate of the palace could only envy them when they saw the two carriages passing by.

Princess Qiyun Cheng Jia was also in the crowd.A trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of the two carriages.The eldest princess is just a princess, but her father is a prince.Logically speaking, her surname is Cheng, and she is the real royal family member.Qin Qi is just the emperor's niece, how could he get closer to a niece like himself?But Emperor Zhengyun obviously didn't think so.In the imperial family of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one he treated very well was the eldest princess's family.

"Let's go." No matter how unconvinced Princess Qiyun was, she had no choice but to walk into the palace with the other wives.

The carriage of the eldest princess and Qin Qi stopped at the gate of the inner garden.Several masters and servants got out of the car, and a young eunuch was waiting early in the morning.Seeing the eldest princess, he smiled apologetically and said, "My servant greets His Royal Highness the eldest princess and Princess Feng'an."

The eldest princess waved her hand, and the little eunuch didn't say much, and immediately led the way to the Liuli Palace.

In the Liuli Palace, many concubines and wives have already arrived.Everyone greeted each other and talked.There was a roll-call eunuch at the door, and when he saw the eldest princess, he immediately sang loudly: "The eldest princess is here! Princess Feng'an is here!"

The voices in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the door of the hall.The eldest princess was dignified and luxurious in the front, Qin Qi, the owner of Feng'an County, was charming and agile at the back, and Gu Li on the other side was peerless in appearance.Most of the people in the hall had seen the eldest princess and Princess Feng'an, but they were very unfamiliar with Gu Li.While guessing her identity, he was amazed at her beauty.

Concubine Wu Xian sat on the side, and when she saw the eldest princess coming in, she asked the eunuch Chen Qi next to her, "Is she Gu Li?"

Chen Qi bowed and said, "Yes."

Concubine Wu Xian sighed, "Sure enough, she is a rare beauty, no wonder King Rui is so caring." She frowned slightly, a woman who is too beautiful is destined to cause trouble.She didn't want her son to marry such a beauty.But the son couldn't help her mother, she couldn't see through her son more and more now.

The four sisters of the Gu family came to the Liuli Palace early.Seeing Gu Li coming with the eldest princess at this moment, attracting the attention of all parties, Gu Yin and Gu Xuan couldn't help but clenched the veils in their hands tightly in hatred.Gu Yin stole a look at Concubine Wu Xian, and sure enough, Concubine Wu Xian's eyes were all on Gu Li.

That demeanor was reserved and indifferent.Neither arrogant nor cowardly, as if these rich or noble women around him were just ordinary people.This is not something that can be raised in the palace or in a big family.

What Concubine Wu Xian didn't know was that Gu Li really thought that the female relatives present were ordinary people.She has seen too much of the noble daughter of the Tian family, so she can't feel the pressure at all.

The eldest princess brought the two of them to the concubines in each palace and greeted them one by one.Of course, the low-ranking concubines did not dare to sit still and let the eldest princess come over, they got up and left their seats one after another, and came over to talk.

After Qin Qi and Gu Li greeted the eldest princess, they ran away to play.

"Actually, I don't like this kind of banquet the most. Seeing them laugh so stiffly, I feel tired for them." Qin Qi complained.

Gu Li didn't want to chat with people too much.According to the experience of several previous banquets.She would make some troubles every time, this time it was the queen's birthday party, and she didn't want to play such an exciting game.The two chatted in a corner, ignoring the people who came and went around them, but they were peaceful and at ease.

While chatting, Gu Li felt that someone was watching the two of them, and it was difficult for her not to pay attention to the hidden murderous aura.She looked up, only to see a fourteen or fifteen year old girl watching the two of them not far away.To be precise, it was looking at Qin Qi.

When Qin Qi saw Gu Li raised his head, she also looked over. When she saw the little girl, her complexion became dark.

"Who is she?" Gu Li was curious.There are not many people who can change Qin Qi's face instantly.

"She is Cheng Yun, Princess Miaoshuang." Qin Qi is very kind, but she remembers the person who hurt her.She refused to tell what Cheng Yun had done to her because she was afraid that Cheng Yun would be severely punished, but it did not mean that she forgave Cheng Yun.

Gu Li stood in front of Qin Qi unobtrusively, blocking Cheng Yun's sight.Only then did Cheng Yun shift his gaze to Gu Li, the killing intent that flashed across his eyes did not escape Gu Li's eyes.

Gu Li found it interesting.When she went down the mountain and entered the capital, even if the people she met wanted to harm her, they just wanted to make her look ugly. Even the sisters of the Gu family had no intention of killing her.But this Princess Miao Shuang showed killing intent as soon as they met, how much she hated her.Have you...have you offended the princess?Gu Li couldn't help but examine himself.

"Sister Li, don't talk to her!" Qin Qi held grudges very much.

At this time, Wu Siran, the eldest wife of the Gu family, walked over wearing a dress from the third rank, "Li'er, I have something to say to you." Her face showed a tired look, which could not be concealed even with a thick layer of makeup.

Gu Li thought for a while, then turned to Qin Qi and said, "I'll come as soon as I go."

"Okay." Qin Qi said obediently.

Wu Siran led Gu Li to a secluded place, and sighed, "Li'er, the old lady is seriously ill and bedridden. No matter what she has done before, she is your elder. Now she can't even speak, it's no wonder Poor. After all, you are our Gu family, why make the relationship so stiff? Your father means that he hopes you can move back home. "

Of course, Gu Li knew that the old lady's illness was caused by her.This is due to her good relationship with Blood Silkworm when she was in the academy.Blood Silkworm was also extremely bored, so based on her cold qi, she taught her a few tricks that could cause serious injuries but look like she was sick.As for whether Gu Li will harm others after he learns it, Blood Silkworm doesn't care.She kills and saves people based on her mood, but she doesn't have such a heavy moral burden.

"Ma'am, my family relationship with the Gu family is probably broken." After she finished speaking, she took another step closer, "But the account between me and you has to be settled slowly."

The eldest lady looked puzzled, "Li'er, what do you mean? If I offended you in any way before, please forgive me. Now the Gu family is troubled, please stop making trouble." The eldest lady said Be polite.It's really that the Gu family is in chaos now.The old lady had been sitting in the back house for decades, but she suddenly collapsed, and her heart fluttered.Although she won the power of being the director of the family, she still needs to get used to taking over hastily.These two days have been very busy, and I am very haggard.

Gu Li looked calm, "You know what you did back then. Don't think that no one will remember what you did after so many years. Da Furen, you can take care of yourself."

The color of Da Furen's face has faded.She looked at Gu Liyuan's back, almost unable to stand still.Gu Li already knew what happened back then?So she was taking revenge on her by making such a fuss?After thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is wrong.If Gu Li believed that she was the one who poisoned Yao Chuxue back then, why did he want to take revenge on the Gu family?

Ignoring the madam's panic, Gu Li returned to the hall.But he found that Qin Qi was not where he was just now.She looked around, but did not see the lilac-colored figure.However, his ears could distinguish the sound of Qin Qi's bell from the noisy human voice.Gu Li turned around and left the main hall, and sure enough, he saw Qin Qi talking with Cheng Yun in a secluded place by the wall.

As she approached, she heard Qin Xi say: "Miao Shuang, I didn't say anything about you pushing me into the water, why do you still blame me?"

Cheng Yundao: "Feng An, when did you become so hypocritical? Did you really not say it?" She suddenly reached out and rolled up her sleeves, and the scars on her white arms crisscrossed and criss-crossed, which was shocking.

Qin Qi covered his mouth in surprise, and stammered, "You...you...how did you do it?"

Cheng Yun smiled hysterically: "Ask you? Didn't you let the emperor whip me ten times? You also said that I was young and only whipped on my arms, but they didn't let me take medicine. But my arms are still Can you see people?" Cheng Yun suddenly stepped forward and brought his scarred arm in front of Qin Qi, "Look! Look! You still said you didn't tell anyone?"

Qin Qi was not a coward, but he couldn't bear to look at such a terrible scar, so he backed up a few steps in fright, and retreated into a familiar embrace.She turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Gu Li. "Sister Li!" Qin Qi shrank into Gu Li's arms, she was really scared.

"Hey, I'm here, it's fine." Gu Li said with distress while stroking Qin Qi's head.
