This time, Li Yu forcefully pulled Xue Li away.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the Emperor. He is very happy today! However, you are ill, and the Emperor is very worried. Besides, this illness is contagious, so you must think of Prince Yongqi, right?"
As Li Yu spoke, his voice grew lower and lower, and his gaze toward Xue Li was intriguing.
Sherry was stunned.
She walked away, tears streaming down her face.
Li Yu was just trying to curry favor with her.
After all, no matter how much Emperor Qianlong was afraid of getting old, he wasn't as afraid as Emperor Kangxi was.
This is another unexpected incident!
Even so, he mostly prepared for the worst in advance.
If he doesn't make it through, there has to be an heir.
Venereal diseases can be transmitted through sexual contact, blood, and from mother to child, as well as through everyday contact and iatrogenic routes.
Otherwise, he would definitely have his heir attend to him while he was ill.
I'll personally teach him for a few days!
After all this time, the treatment results are only so-so.
However, Physician Huang and Physician Ye were still capable. After all, Hua Tuo had a history of successfully treating and curing patients.
They are also constantly adjusting the prescription!
Sherry suddenly fainted while walking down the street.
If I don't feel dizzy, I definitely have to go visit the Empress Dowager.
So I'll just be lazy and go in a couple of days!
Sherry thought it was time to move on to the next step.
Incidentally, we should also round up all the drug addicts and opium smugglers.
Of course, she used those things to benefit the Japanese in the same way she obtained them.
Then, we'll team up with foreigners to sell it to Northern Europe!
Of course, that includes the UK!
She holds grudges and her favorite thing to do is to retaliate in kind and give someone a taste of their own medicine!
The original owner's nephew, Nesuken, a third-class guard, was able to travel relatively easily, so he came to see her.
Sherry gave him a letter and told him to make sure it was delivered to the original owner's father.
Then he picked up a pen and wrote several letters, some in English, some in Japanese, and some in Chinese characters.
Then, in the middle of the night, Shirley went into the underground palace to age the paper.
The next step is to wait for Emperor Qianlong to arrange for someone to inspect and accept the goods.
After all, she couldn't kill him.
The mother and son were both famously long-lived.
It's quite interesting, really. Emperor Qianlong called himself the "Perfect Old Man," which is true, since most of his children and concubines died before him.
In the end, he only had five sons to choose from.
They chose the fifteenth among the short ones.
Unfortunately, the dynasty was in decline during the later period of the Qianlong reign, and no one was able to turn the tide afterward.
Regardless of the numerous uprisings among the people, they never truly controlled the spread of opium.
Until, the Qing Dynasty, this behemoth, became the "sick man of East Asia" after being addicted to opium.
Sherry is now going to expose this.
It's important to know that historically, Britain's main purpose in selling opium to the Qing Dynasty was to open up the Qing market.
To reverse the trade deficit that had persisted for many years and to prevent the flow of silver into the Qing Dynasty.
Opium began to flow into China as early as the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.
During the Yongzheng era, more than 200 chests of opium flowed into the Qing Dynasty every year.
Emperor Yongzheng abhorred opium and issued the world's first ban on opium.
However, the influx of opium continued to increase.
During the Qianlong era, the amount of opium imported into the Qing Dynasty exceeded 1,000 chests.
During the Jiaqing period, more than 5,000 chests of opium flowed into the Qing Dynasty every year.
Emperor Daoguang went to great lengths to ban opium and even arrested several princes who smoked it.
However, by the time Lin Zexu went to Guangzhou to ban opium, the amount of opium flowing into China each year had reached more than 10,000 chests.
Britain used the profits it had made from opium in the Qing Dynasty as a pretext to launch the First Opium War.
Even the British opium dealer Matthias joked:
He most hoped that the Qing Dynasty would ban opium, because the more it was banned, the higher the price would be, and the faster it would sell.
Sherry found it increasingly interesting the more she thought about it.
He gave Nesuken two tasks:
First, select some veterans who want to support their families.
Secondly, select some teenagers with good martial arts skills.
The next step, of course, is to build weapons.
The weapon can only be in her own hands.
Soon, the actions of the original owner's father, Nerbu, had an effect.
Several ministers rushed to report, and when Qianlong heard that the foreigners had plotted against them, he immediately sneered.
"Them? They don't even deserve it!" His Great Qing Dynasty was the Celestial Empire; why would it fear the actions of a few clowns?
However, a few courtiers looked uneasy, after all, the foreign devils had put on that show right in front of them.
The goal is to use opium to devour the behemoth that is the Qing Dynasty!
At that time, the Qing Dynasty will be unable to cultivate the land, work in industry, or wage war.
This land automatically became their paradise!
Upon hearing this, several court officials immediately turned pale, and some were indignant.
But as the old men looked at each other and carefully considered the matter, they became increasingly frightened.
After all, putting aside everything else, in terms of economic trade alone, these opiums made up for those gaps!
So the ministers split up and acted separately.
Some investigated the amount of opium that flowed into customs each year.
Some went to observe the behavior of opium addicts after they had used it.
Some even followed the foreigners and the merchants who made their fortunes from opium.
...
The situation was predictably dire, so they sought an audience with Emperor Qianlong.
They don't care what the Han people do, but they do care if they become someone else's dinner.
If foreigners really invade, then the fate of the Han people will be their fate.
After treatment by Imperial Physician Huang, Emperor Qianlong showed signs of recovery, although there were occasional relapses.
The scars on his face were clearly visible and terrifying!
Hearing the reports from several court officials, he found them somewhat comical and also a bit overreacting.
However, seeing their bitter and resentful expressions, he still allowed the guards to investigate.
As a result, the letters that Sherry had arranged in advance were discovered!
Sherry is feeling a little better now, but she has also lost some weight.
Coincidentally, Emperor Qianlong liked this kind of thing.
Gentle and delicate, the style of his concubines in the harem seemed to be copied and pasted.
Emperor Qianlong was pleased to see that she looked well and fed her medicine while she drank pear juice.
Of course, maybe her complexion was better, or maybe she was sick and a little vulnerable inside.
The way he looked at Shirley was incredibly tender.
Any woman with a romantic heart could drown in his deep eyes.
Emperor Qianlong, that scoundrel, had so many concubines; he must have been powerful.
Even with those small eyes, he looks at the dog with such affection!
Shirley sometimes gets so immersed in her acting that she even thinks about where she'll be buried when she's old and frail.
Just thinking about the cemetery! Sherry spat inwardly.
The Aisin Gioro family is destined to either be robbed of their tombs or flooded; she's not going to go with him.
While letting her thoughts wander, Sherry carefully fed the baby.
As Emperor Qianlong drank his soup, he gazed at her with deep affection.
That's why they say powerful demons are so charming.
Even though she's past her prime, she still has such charm. Not to mention how haggard she looked a few days ago, like an old woman.
Emperor Qianlong actually forgot!
He could still flirt with her face, and the look in his eyes made her so itchy she wanted to kill him!
Sherry couldn't help but glare at him. He wasn't even letting middle-aged women go. That was going too far!
