Qi Hao's eyes were not sharp, and the ruthless cliff was extremely difficult to climb, so after the sun went down, he tied Gu Jinli to his back and carefully reached the halfway point of the mountain with Du Jiang.

Since it was inconvenient for Du Jiang to enter the cave, he stayed outside.

Qi Hao carried Gu Jinli on his back, holding a fire fold in his hand, and tried to go all the way in.

When he arrived at the edge of the Hantan Pool, he did not undress Gu Jinli, but supported the edge of the pool with one hand and Gu Jinli into the pool with the other hand.

Probably suddenly stirred by the icy pool water, Gu Jinli shivered.

Qi Hao is a man, and under normal circumstances, Wen is already taller than a woman.

He hugged Gu Jinli tightly to prevent her from slipping.

Two years ago, he and Gu Jinli were also drugged in an assassination.

At that time, although they lived under the same roof, they were "strangers" who hated each other.

Under the urging of the medicine, he almost couldn't hold on to her.

It's just that because the person who was full of pretense at that time was Yin Suwan, he was afraid that he would be sorry for Yin Suwan, so he entered this cold pool with her, and only then did he solve the medicine.

Now, as if the past was repeating itself, she had been drugged again, and this time he still couldn't ask her.

But there is one thing, it is still different from back then.

After all, it was he who hated her for ruining Yin Suwan's legs.

Now that the role has changed, it is her "ruthlessness" and "revenge for killing her son" who hates him.

In addition, Gu Jinli is the daughter of Feng Se, and Feng Se is the guardian goddess of Feng Kingdom, so in the general righteousness of the country, he is the son of the enemy who destroyed her people.

Of course, if Qi Hao knew that Gu Jinli was not only the daughter of Feng Se, but also the daughter of the Feng Emperor, then the old emperor destroyed not only the Feng clan, but also Gu Jinli's entire Feng Kingdom, then her hatred for him would be like the Milky Way in the sky, becoming a gap between them that could never be crossed.

Regarding Gu Jinli's life experience, the old emperor knew, Chen Zexuan knew, the man in black knew, and the person concerned Gu Jinli knew.

And Qi Hao only knows one thing, but doesn't know the other.

He didn't know that Gu Jinli had already learned about his life experience from the black-clothed people back then, but he just hid it from him.

Looking deeply at Gu Jinli's blushing face, he gently moved his lips.

Falling and kissing lightly, he left quickly as if he had done something bad.

Turning his eyes to the unusually quiet cave, he said softly: "Ah Gu, if I can stay here with you for the rest of my life, it would be great to think about it." ”

Talking to himself, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile: "I'm really a fool's dream." ”

The coldness of the pool water was like a golden needle piercing into the bones and blood, Qi Hao hugged Gu Jinli, put his head on her shoulder, slowly closed his eyes, and patiently waited for the medicinal properties in her body to dissipate.

At the same time, Mrs. Liu was masking her face and slipped into Qi Hao's study in the dark.

In her hands, since she can have the forbidden drugs in the palace, she can naturally also have such indiscriminate things as incense.

After watching the guard guarding the study pass out as she wished, she pushed the door in satisfaction and walked in, leaving Xueqin to help keep an eye on her.

She didn't have many opportunities to come to the study, after all, Qi Hao didn't like women to come to his office.

After a careful look, she went straight to the table with the high stacks of letters and letters.

After a quick brows-through of the books, Mrs. Liu sifted through the most useful letters.

When Qi Hao took Gu Jinli out of the Desperate Cliff, Mrs. Liu and Xueqin were angry.

Because they never expected that Qi Hao would come back halfway.

It's just a matter of coming back halfway, and I just happened to see the ugly thing about Gu Jinli and the Eighth Prince's "brother and sister-in-law*".

However, the eighth prince left unharmed, and Qi Hao didn't seem to be angry, which actually disappointed Mrs. Liu.

This time it was in vain, how could she be willing?

Therefore, taking advantage of Qi Hao's efforts to take Gu Jinli out to detoxify, he decided to go to his study to find some "criminal evidence" that could be handed over to the queen and bring down Qi Hao.

Most of Qi Hao's letters are the opinions of his ministers on recent court affairs, and although there is a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain, strictly speaking, it does not involve anything rebellious.

However, it is not impossible for the queen to find someone to imitate Qi Hao's handwriting, and then blame him.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Liu happily tucked it into her sleeve.

Stepping out of the room, she took out another incense and smoked it a few times between the guards' noses, trotting out before they could open their eyes.

The guards rubbed their eyes, looking dazed, unaware of the fact that someone had just entered the house.

Yawned, and at the same time stood up and stood guard again.

The water in the cold pool was bubbling with steaming blisters, and Gu Jinli's medicine had been completely dissolved.

Qi Hao's heart hanging in his throat finally fell, and he hugged the wet Gu Jinli out of the pool.

"Du Jiang!" shouted to the outside world, and when he saw Du Jiang coming in, Qi Hao said, "Take off your clothes." ”

The night wind outside is so strong, if Gu Jinli is allowed to go back all the way with water like this, she will definitely catch a cold.

"Yes, lord." Du Jiang understood, and immediately took off his coat without hesitation and handed it to Qi Hao.

Qi Hao wrapped Gu Jinli tightly, and then said: "This king's clothes are wet, you carry her back." ”

Wet clothes will soak dry clothes together, so Gu Jinli can't avoid getting cold.

Du Jiang nodded, and according to Qi Hao's instructions, he tied Gu Jinli behind his back with a rope.

The two of them fought with fire and climbed up with difficulty by dragging the rope all the way.

It takes longer to go up than it does to go down.

Because it was not only dark, but also halfway through the climb, it began to rain.

Although it was a drizzle, it made the mountain walls slippery.

It was about time to return to King Ning's Mansion.

In the Hibiscus Courtyard, the three maids were anxious.

From afar, seeing that Du Jiang was back with someone on his back, he hurriedly rushed up, so he didn't have to worry.

One went to boil ginger soup for Gu Jinli to ward off the cold, one went to find her a change of clean clothes, and the other wiped her wet hair.

As for Qi Hao, except for Du Jiang, no one had the heart to ask him.

Back in the study, he had just pushed open the door when his foot stopped.

Du Jiang followed behind him, puzzled: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qi Hao didn't speak and walked in.

After Du Jiang closed the door, Qi Hao squatted down, squinted his eyes, pointed to a certain place on the ground with the fire fold in his hand, and said quietly: "Someone has been to the study tonight." ”

When Du Jiang heard this, his eyes widened, and he also leaned over to look at the place that Qi Hao was pointing to, "There are footprints?!" ”
