The atmosphere became tense again.
Rongwei looked at Kangdi with a cold face.
Emperor Kang gave him a calming look and said in a deep voice, "Eunuch Fu, please take the Prince of Zhongshan to the Imperial Garden first. I have recently acquired many precious flowers."
"yes."
Rongwei was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing violently.
After he left, Emperor Kang was about to speak, but the Queen Mother took the lead.
"Your Majesty, it was I who granted Ah Xian and Li'er their marriage. Are you now going to bypass me and forcibly demote Li'er to a concubine?"
This was the first time that the mother and son got angry because of Qu Li.
Emperor Kang sighed: "Mother, I did think so before."
The Empress Dowager sneered sarcastically, "Your Majesty, consider the King of Zhongshan's meritorious service in pacifying the barbarians, and do not humiliate Li'er like this!"
"Mother, I..."
Qu Li knelt down.
"Li'er, what are you doing?" The Queen Mother frowned.
She protected Qu Li so much not only because she cured her headache and was extremely filial to her, but also because of Xiao Xian.
She had also experienced love, so she could naturally see Xiao Xian's love for Qu Li.
If Qu Li was wronged, he would definitely go crazy when he came back.
Back then, he mistakenly thought Bai Fengyao was his savior. After the incident in the side hall, in order to protect Xiao Xian's reputation, she had to arrange a marriage between them. Xiao Xian then went crazy for a long time.
This time, Xiao Xian understood his own feelings deeply. If he had to let Qu Li be demoted to a concubine for the sake of the overall situation, Xiao Xian might do something crazy again.
She was about to help Qu Li up, but Qu Li dodged her.
"Qu Li might be letting down the Empress Dowager's kindness!"
The divorce had been delayed for such a long time, and now that the King of Zhongshan was coming to the capital, Qu Li felt that if she missed this great opportunity, she might never be separated from Xiao Xian in her life.
Just go for it!
She looked at the Empress Dowager calmly for a while, then kowtowed three times solemnly.
The Empress Dowager's heart sank rapidly.
Because of the last plot, she could feel that Qu Li had turned away from her.
In this situation, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't make things difficult for Qu Li.
She turned to look at Emperor Kang, who had remained silent, and asked, "Your Majesty, did you force Li'er to do anything?"
Emperor Kang held his forehead and said, "Mother, do you think I can force her?"
The Empress Dowager remained silent.
Qu Li has become very different from before, and his ideas are also very positive.
She had already expressed her determination to divorce, but I'm afraid this time...
"Li'er, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart! Princess Yehua has the King of Zhongshan as her backer, and you also have me as your backer!"
Moreover, she also heard that Qu Li was very popular among the people.
If all the people in the capital city stood on her side, the old fox Rong Wei would not dare to act rashly!
Qu Li felt warm in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Queen Dowager, I'm sorry!"
These five words, spoken slowly and unhurriedly, made the Empress Dowager dizzy.
After a long while, a chill appeared in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
"Qu Li, are you really going to do it your own way?"
Qu Li pursed her lips, "Yes!"
She wanted a divorce, wanted to leave Xiao Xian as soon as possible and be herself!
The Empress Dowager's chest heaved violently with anger.
Emperor Kang was comforting her while the Queen Mother stood up.
The kindness on his face had long since disappeared, and what remained was only the coldness that came from being in a high position for a long time.
"Qu Li, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you really determined to divorce?"
When the Empress Dowager asked this question, the air seemed to be sucked out, and the entire side hall became extremely depressing.
"Queen Dowager, I'm sorry!"
"Good!" The Queen Mother held onto the edge of the table, her eyes icy cold, as if it were the coldest time of winter. "You really have opened my eyes!"
Qu Li did not speak.
Kangdi always looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
He is optimistic about Qu Li and hopes that Qu Li can assist Xiao Xian.
But Qu Li had made up her mind, and she didn't even give him, the emperor, the slightest bit of face.
It would be a good thing if the Empress Dowager could force her to change her mind.
Qu Li raised his eyes, and as his star-like eyes quickly swept across Kangdi's face, he guessed most of what he was thinking.
She sneered in her heart.
This time, even if the Jade Emperor comes, she will definitely get a divorce!
"Qu Li, I don't think you're calm enough! Ma'am, take Qu Li to my Cining Palace and let her think it over. I believe she can figure it out!"
Nanny Gong was startled, but she still walked towards Qu Li.
On the other side, Imperial Physician Tang rode at full speed all the way, and finally arrived at the inn where Xiao Xian was when he felt dizzy.
Rong Yehua stayed by his side all the time, and no matter how Guangping tried to dissuade her, she refused to leave.
Imperial Physician Tang was dragged into the room and almost fell down.
Rong Yehua's eyes were red, and there seemed to be two flames burning in his eyes.
"Why didn't Qu Li come?"
She was jealous of Qu Li and wished that Qu Li could disappear forever.
But she also knew that only Qu Li could treat such serious injuries!
Imperial Physician Tang had traveled a long way and was already extremely exhausted. He could not withstand her yelling and shaking at all.
"Princess Yehua, please stop shaking. I'm terribly dizzy! If you keep shaking like this, I'm afraid it will delay the treatment of Prince Chen!"
Rong Yehua clenched his fists, and the three-dimensional features on his face became distorted because of anger.
"Qu Li doesn't want to come?"
Imperial Physician Tang had no way of answering.
No one noticed that Xiao Xian's fingers moved slightly twice, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
Rong Yehua took several deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger surging in his chest.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician Tang."
Imperial Physician Tang nodded and went forward to help Xiao Xian check the wound.
Then she raised her eyes and looked at him meaningfully for a while.
"Princess Ye Hua, please go out and wait!"
Rong Yehua refused.
Guangping gestured "please," and said, "Princess Yehua, if you stay here, you will only delay Imperial Physician Tang from treating the prince!"
Rong Yehua opened his mouth and walked out, looking back every few steps.
The door closed and Imperial Physician Tang lowered his voice.
"King Chen?"
Xiao Xian slowly opened his eyes, which were red and misty.
Imperial Physician Tang was shocked, "Prince Chen, you..."
"What's holding Li'er back?"
His eyes were filled with sorrow. Imperial Physician Tang couldn't bear to hurt him, but he couldn't lie to him either.
"Lord Chen, I'd better treat your wound first!"
Xiao Xian clenched his fists tightly, and his jaw was tense as he suppressed his emotions.
Imperial Physician Tang opened the medicine box and said, "The wound has been treated briefly, but it still injures the spleen. I must treat the wound again for Prince Chen."
Xiao Xian seemed to have his soul sucked out of him, his eyes fixed on the ceiling of the bed.
He got injured this time just to prevent Qu Liti from getting a divorce.
No matter what, he will never let go of the woman he has chosen!
