The deputy leader didn’t know whether Qu Li knew any magic, the only thing he knew was that she was indeed very powerful.
The fifth prince would be happy if he had such a woman by his side.
"Do you think she still has feelings for that Prince Chen? Otherwise, why would she help Dagan..."
Before he could finish his words, the deputy leader covered his mouth.
Qian Jiuzhao couldn't pull it open, so he could only bite it hard.
"Are you born in the year of the dog?" The deputy leader shook his hands, his eyes gloomy.
"Why are you covering my mouth? Honestly, I don't think she loves the Fifth Prince at all! Maybe, because she couldn't get the love of Prince Chen, she chose the Fifth Prince as a second choice!"
The deputy pavilion master's face turned completely black, and he slapped him rudely: "If your words get to the ears of the Fifth Prince, be careful that the Fifth Prince will be angry with you!"
Forget about turning him into a money rake, he might even be turned into a money sieve.
"I'm just making a normal guess." Qian Jiuzhao said angrily.
"What she did was for the people of the world!"
"Well, I just feel that the Fifth Prince has suffered ten years of injustice in Dagan, and he shouldn't suffer this injustice in vain."
"Don't worry about it. The Fifth Prince will make the final decision on this matter."
Qian Jiuzhao pouted and said, "Anyway, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!"
If the Fifth Prince had not come here regardless of anything for Qu Li, he might have forced the Emperor to appoint a Crown Prince.
…
In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had not yet woken up. Nanny Palace felt that something was not right and walked in quietly.
After calling her several times, the Empress Dowager still did not respond.
Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately sent for the imperial physician.
Imperial Physician Tang carefully examined the Empress Dowager's pulse and found nothing abnormal.
"Has the Empress Dowager behaved abnormally recently?"
Matron Gong thought about it carefully and said, "No! The Empress Dowager has just been a little more sleepy than usual lately, and her sleep has improved."
Although Imperial Physician Tang couldn't see anything, he knew that the Empress Dowager's symptoms were definitely abnormal.
"Let the other people from the Imperial Hospital come over and take the Empress Dowager's pulse. If they still can't find anything, I'm afraid..."
Rong Yehua, who had been staying here, heard the news and immediately rushed in without caring about anything.
"What happened to the Queen Mother?"
"Princess Yehua, the Queen Mother is fine. You should go to the side hall and practice the etiquette on your own first!" Nanny Gong tried hard not to appear timid.
Rong Yehua was tall and looked past her behind the curtain.
It's blurry and hard to see clearly.
She felt something was wrong and retreated with a heavy heart.
Soon another imperial physician came to the Cining Palace. Rong Yehua clenched his fingers and passed the message to Rong Wei.
Rongwei narrowed his eyes, his expression very serious.
Taji asked, "My Lord, what happened?"
"The Queen Mother suddenly fell unconscious."
"It must be poisoned!" Taji said without thinking.
Rong Wei glanced at him sideways, "The imperial physician couldn't find anything, so how can you be so sure that the Empress Dowager was poisoned?"
"There are many poisons that can't be diagnosed through pulse diagnosis! Moreover, those doctors in the Imperial Hospital, it's not that I look down on them, it's really..."
Taji sneered and shrugged, full of disdain.
Rongwei thought carefully and felt that it was definitely not a good thing for the Queen Mother to be unconscious at this time.
"Did that girl bring any news?"
"No."
“This girl!”
Taji looked at Rongwei deeply.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his old prince seemed to like Qu Li very much.
In the evening, Qu Li disguised herself as an old woman and came to the inn again.
As soon as I stepped in, I felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
She found someone and after some inquiries, she learned that Rongwei had hurried into the palace.
Could it be that the disaster in the north has become more serious?
Qu Li frowned, "I'll wait a moment."
Half an hour later, Rongwei still hadn't returned. She became increasingly uneasy, feeling as if something serious had happened.
After saying hello to the people at the inn, she went straight into the palace.
The atmosphere in the palace was also not very good.
She saw Taji at a glance, stretching his neck and looking towards the Cining Palace.
"Is the disaster in the North serious again?"
Qu Li suddenly appeared in front of him, which made Taji startled.
He had followed Rong Wei in battles across the country and was a master of martial arts. It was impossible for someone to come and he was unaware of it.
"What on earth happened?"
Taji was not quite sure about the current condition of the Empress Dowager. It was said that Qu Li was an excellent doctor and might be able to save the Empress Dowager and help Princess Ye Hua clear her suspicion.
After briefly telling Qu Li what had happened, Qu Li learned that Rong Wei had rushed into the palace not because of the disaster in the north, but because the Empress Dowager had been poisoned!
"Miss Qu, the prince has been in the palace for a long time, but there has been no news of him. Princess Yehua has offended you many times before. You are thinking of the prince, so could you please help?"
"I'll go take a look first."
Taji's heart was relieved.
He was really afraid that Qu Li would refuse.
Just when someone came over, Qu Li quickly flashed into the space, and with the help of the space, he easily avoided the patrolling imperial guards and came to the Cining Palace.
Emperor Kang had a solemn expression on his face. Rong Yehua was kneeling outside the Cining Palace, accompanied by Rong Wei.
The imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were all frowning.
Just now, Taji briefly told her what happened.
The Empress Dowager suddenly fell into a coma. Imperial Physician Tang felt that although her pulse was normal, it did not mean that the Empress Dowager was not poisoned.
When Emperor Kang learned about this, he ordered the Cining Palace to be sealed off and a thorough search conducted.
Finally, an empty medicine bottle was found in the side hall where Rong Yehua lived.
There were still some residual medicine residues in the medicine bottle. The preliminary diagnosis showed that it was the poison that caused the Empress Dowager to fall into a coma!
Rong Yehua had never seen this medicine bottle before, but some palace servants said that she had often complained at night that the Queen Mother was too harsh on her. Emperor Kang had a preconceived notion that Rong Yehua was out for revenge and that was why she poisoned the Queen Mother.
If it weren't for the fact that Rong Wei was Da Gan's right-hand man, he would have had Rong Yehua dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
After Rong Wei entered the palace, he naturally chose to believe Rong Yehua, but Emperor Kang was now fully concerned about the safety of the Empress Dowager, so he naturally would not listen to Rong Wei's explanation.
Qu Li quietly walked to the bed, took the Empress Dowager's hand, and carefully took her pulse.
There is indeed nothing abnormal in the pulse.
There were so many people here that she didn't dare to do anything too extreme. When she saw Imperial Physician Tang go out, she immediately followed him.
"Imperial Physician Tang."
Her sudden appearance frightened Imperial Physician Tang so much that he took half a step back.
"You, you are Miss Qu?"
Qu Li nodded, "I just took the Empress Dowager's pulse, and it was normal. I can't tell what kind of poison the Empress Dowager was infected with just by looking at her pulse."
"You also think it's poisoning?" Imperial Physician Tang actually laughed.
"Yes, I heard that a medicine bottle with medicine residue was found in Princess Ye Hua's side hall?" Qu Li asked anxiously.
