Cui Li replied to Qiqi in her mind: "Run? How? Use props?"
"Yes! Host, I will untie your rope later and then use the teleportation talisman to send you away! I don't know where I will be teleported to, but it's better to stay here and be bullied by this idiot."
Cui Li looked at the system jumping around in the sea of consciousness. It was very active at the moment.
"The spiritual energy in this world is weak, and using the teleportation talisman requires a lot of energy. Now is not the time when it is most needed. Forget it, put me down and let me rest for a while. When Shuka comes back, you can restore my rope and handkerchief to their original state."
"Ok."
The system listened to her and let her down from the tree.
Cui Li sat under the tree to rest for a long time. Looking at the leaves blown all over the ground by the wind, she picked off the leaves on her head and felt that Qiqi was right to call Shuka "idiot". It must be very uncomfortable to stay on the treetop in such a strong wind!
"Host, that person is coming back soon."
"Then take me upstairs."
Shuka came back after half an hour. He took Cui Li down from the tree and loosened her handkerchief.
Cui Li said impatiently, "What took you so long? It's so cold up there, and the wind is so strong. Didn't you say you'd be back soon?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Eat quickly! It's going to rain, so you can get on with your journey. If you don't eat it, it will get cold! And you are not allowed to complain about it not being tasty even if it is cold."
Cui Li snorted coldly, took the crispy meat patties and red bean cakes and started eating.
"Why don't you eat crab cakes and hawthorn cakes?"
Cui Li glanced at the man, not knowing what he was thinking. The prince of Qi would not let such a thing appear in front of her. "I'm afraid of abdominal pain and miscarriage."
"You're talking about something good, but it sounds like poison."
The man picked up the pancakes and pastries and finished them in a few bites.
"It's not poisonous."
Cui Li was too lazy to argue with him. She drank some water to moisten her throat and was ready to leave when the man handed something to Cui Li.
"what is this?"
"What you want."
Cui Li opened the bundle and saw what was inside. She burst into laughter. "These silver needles are indeed top-grade. I'm sorry to have troubled you to find them. But what am I going to do with them? Aren't they to treat you? So how do you treat the doctor who is supposed to treat you? You tied her to a tree! And you even blocked her mouth! You're really capable!"
Shuka was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm just afraid you'll run away, so I won't tie you up anymore."
Cui Li put away the set of silver needles and returned it to Shu Ka. "I'm not in a good mood. I'll give you acupuncture next time. Let's go. It's getting late. The prince of Qi will get suspicious."
Shuka stood there without saying a word for a long time before he took Cui Li away. This time his Qinggong was very fast. It was obvious that he was holding an anger in his heart, but he didn't want to get angry at Cui Li.
Cui Li doesn't care about this man's mood, she just won't give him acupuncture now!
At night, when Cui Li thought she would have to sleep outdoors in the mountains, Shuka took her to a small hut where no one was. According to Shuka, this was a temporary shelter set up by the people of Qi in case of emergency.
Cui Li listened to the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs outside, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Shuka stood outside the door, sitting on the ground. Hearing the shallow breathing sounds from inside the house, he also closed his eyes and rested.
In the Liang Palace, Liang Sheng was meeting Xuan Yunian at night. He sat opposite Xuan Yunian and patted Xuan Yunian on the shoulder.
"Brother Yunian, while I'm away from the palace due to illness, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the court."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. During your absence, I will do my utmost to protect the country for you."
"With you here, I'm naturally relieved. I must personally find Li'er."
"I wish Your Majesty to fulfill his wish and successfully welcome back the Imperial Concubine and the little prince."
Liang Sheng smiled and nodded, then said fiercely: "If those Qi traitors dare to hurt Li'er, I will grind them to ashes."
Xuan Yunian left the palace calmly and returned to the Prime Minister's Residence. He stayed quietly in his study. After a quarter of an hour, he summoned his men and asked, "Has there been any news from Qiao Zhi?"

Nagging: School starts tomorrow, I'm so anxious! I don't want to socialize, but luckily I can apply to attend school as a day student.
I hope I can have the time and energy to write. I don’t want to stop updating, but I probably won’t be able to update this weekend.
