After 36 days of walking, there is still a tall one holding on.

  "Brother, I also know that privately giving gifts to an outsider is against the rules of our household. But Li Xiang made Hong'er bring the box directly and said that if we wanted to return it, we had to deliver it to his residence in person. My sister was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to accept or refuse. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to accept it with a heavy heart... because if she returned it, there would be suspicions of impropriety. Moreover, when Li Xiang sent Hong'er to deliver the medicine, there were no outsiders present."

  Zhi Yi suddenly stood up and paced back and forth, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed together, as if he had something on his mind.

  Ru Qing and Yu Shi looked at each other anxiously, their eyes locked in a worried gaze: Could it be that there was another trap hidden within?

  Suddenly, Zhiyi stopped and carefully measured Ruqing's emotions.

  Her feelings were stared at by him, making her hair stand on end, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck, weakly asking: "Brother, why are you staring at me like this? Could it be that there's some earth-shattering matter involved?"

  "It's really unbearable." Zhi Yi said, "You're almost suffocating me to death."

  Yu's expression changed greatly, knowing that Yi was always steady and trustworthy. Now that he said such things, it proved that the matter was indeed serious. However, apart from Yu being possibly affected by a damaging reputation, could there be other even more shocking matters?

  Zhi Yi continued to pace back and forth, pacing for a long time, still unable to make sense of it. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Alright, let's just drop the matter here, don't mention it again from now on." Then he turned to Yu Shi and said: "Strictly control the people below, what happened before is not allowed to be leaked out, if anyone disobeys, they will be beaten to death with a stick."

  Yu heard the bloody taste in this, and saw that Zhiyi's face was black with a hint of green, knowing that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, so he quickly nodded and ordered it to be carried out overnight.

  Fortunately, the people under General's mansion had long known that Zhiyi was ruthless and decisive in his killings, even to the point of being cold-blooded and merciless. Once someone fell into his hands, they would either die or lose half their life. Zhiyi had previously issued an order, so how could the servants dare to discuss their masters' affairs? This time, Yu Shi again used Zhiyi's name to issue this bloody order, and also knew that there were some things that they couldn't discuss, and didn't dare to be presumptuous.

  Zhi Yi gazed at Ru Qing with a complex expression before leaving, his eyes filled with a hint of impatience and regret, which eventually turned into a long sigh. He then regained his calm demeanor and instructed Ru Qing to stay away from Li Xao in the future, forbidding her from meeting him privately or giving him gifts again. Then he left with large strides.

  Although the meaning was not explicitly stated, he could sense the severity of the situation from his expression. In his heart, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. If only he had known that those two bottles of medicine would bring about such disaster, she should not have been greedy for the imperial gift and instead handed them over to Zhiyi to return on her behalf, then nothing would have happened.

  Outside the window, the scorching sunlight poured in, passing through the thin pink gauze curtains, and shone on the bed, as if under the golden light of a passionate love, she was filled with unbearable regret. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure it out - Li Xiao had only sent her two bottles of medicine, and that was all, just through Ah Dou sending them to her, so why would Zhi Yi be shocked like that?

  Another medicine bottle was brought out, a Ru kiln porcelain bottle with a red flower and white base, a slender waist, indeed exquisite. The medicinal liquid also had a pleasant fragrance, and when applied to the wound, it was very effective. This should be a sacred object from the palace, and it's not something that would normally circulate outside. But even so, there shouldn't be any big problem, right? Li Xiang is a member of the royal family, and receiving these gifts from the palace is probably a common occurrence for him. So why was Zhi Yi so shocked?

  While being unable to figure it out, Qing's last resort was to play the ostrich: whatever, anyway there are tall people holding up the sky.
