Imperial Physician Tang handed her the medicine bottle.
Qu Li carefully examined the medicinal residue and almost guessed the composition of the poison.
This poison will not harm the Empress Dowager's life, but it can put her into a coma.
And, most importantly, this poison is a slow-acting poison.
It was only recently, perhaps because the dosage was increased, that the Empress Dowager fell into a coma at this time.
Although Qu Li is younger than Imperial Physician Tang, she has superb medical skills and has given guidance to Imperial Physician Tang before. Imperial Physician Tang respects her very much.
Seeing her frowning brows and bright eyes, I was really looking forward to her being able to help the Queen Mother detoxify as soon as possible.
"Imperial Physician Tang, here is a bottle of antidote. Please feed it to the Empress Dowager!" Qu Li took out some spiritual spring water from the space and handed it to Imperial Physician Tang.
"You won't treat the Empress Dowager yourself?"
Qu Li smiled and pointed at his deeply wrinkled face, "It's not convenient for me to show up now!"
"But if that's the case, then the credit will be attributed to me, right?"
Imperial Physician Tang is not someone who likes to take credit for other people's work.
The more furious Emperor Kang is now, the more generous the rewards these Queen Mothers will receive after they are detoxified.
"Imperial Physician Tang, you're being too serious! Your medical skills are also very superb. I heard that you were the first to suggest that the Empress Dowager might have been poisoned?"
"Indeed."
"Actually, I have other things to do and need the help of Imperial Physician Tang."
"You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"
Qu Li whispered a few words to him.
Imperial Physician Tang didn't understand.
"You don't need to understand, just do what I say!"
"OK."
The two chatted for a few more sentences before Imperial Physician Tang returned to his bedroom.
He secretly fed the Empress Dowager the spiritual spring water, and then said to Emperor Kang: "Your Majesty, Miss Qu's medical skills are particularly superb. Why don't you send someone to invite her to the palace?"
Emperor Kang frowned.
As early as when he learned that the Empress Dowager was in a coma and the Imperial Hospital was helpless, he had thought about looking for Qu Li.
However, this matter involved Rong Yehua, and he was afraid that Rong Wei would feel resistance, so he never mentioned it.
Upon hearing what Imperial Physician Tang said, the other imperial physicians also echoed and requested Emperor Kang to summon Qu Li into the palace.
Emperor Kang pondered for a moment and said to Eunuch Fu, "Go and invite Qu Li into the palace."
When Eunuch Fu came to Wenzhaoyuan to summon her, Bai Fengyao's nerves were tense.
How could she know any medical skills?
Eunuch Fu stared at her critically for a moment, his brow furrowed with wrinkles. "Miss Qu, don't keep the Emperor waiting too long!"
"I……"
Qu Wenzhao also held onto the wall and walked out slowly.
"Eldest sister, the Empress Dowager has taken great care of you before, and you're a doctor! It's both moral and logical that you should go!"
Bai Fengyao now felt like she was being forced into something she was not prepared for. She pinched her fingers, feeling extremely anxious.
If she entered the palace and faced so many experienced imperial doctors, she would definitely be exposed.
"Miss Qu?" Eunuch Fu said with a stern face, "If the situation wasn't dire, the Emperor wouldn't have summoned you into the palace!"
She saw the hidden impatience and anger in Eunuch Fu's eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded vigorously and said, "I'll go back and get something."
Eunuch Fu nodded, his expression not as stern as before.
Bai Fengyao followed Eunuch Fu into the palace and saw from afar the face that made her feel mixed feelings of love and hate.
Noticing the gazes fixed on him, Xiao Xian paused and turned to look over.
Their eyes met, and Bai Fengyao pursed her lips, "Prince Chen!"
Xiao Xian had already known that the person in front of him was not Qu Li.
But every time he saw this face, his eyes would involuntarily become gentle.
Bai Fengyao's hands tightened little by little under her sleeves, her nails digging deeply into her palms, but she was unaware of it!
Eunuch Fu looked at the two men's faces quickly with a look of surprise. He always felt that the man in front of him had a strange, even contradictory attitude towards Xiao Xian.
Before, whenever Qu Li faced Xiao Xian, his eyes were calm and composed, with a feeling of neither love nor hate.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with love and hate.
It's really weird!
Bai Fengyao realized that something was wrong with her emotions, so she took two deep breaths and tried hard to adjust herself.
"I'll go in and see the Queen Mother first."
It was true that Xiao Xian disliked Rong Yehua, and it was also true that he had never doubted her.
After seeing Bai Fengyao, the first thing that came to his mind was whether the Queen Mother's sudden coma was caused by the high priest.
If she goes in now, the Empress Dowager might be in danger.
Without hesitation, he followed and said in a deep voice, "I am also worried about the Royal Grandmother."
Meeting his deep and gloomy eyes, Bai Fengyao's heart skipped a beat.
When Kangdi saw Bai Fengyao, his tense expression relaxed slightly.
"Qu Li, go see the Queen Mother."
Bai Fengyao lowered her head, "Your Majesty, please don't worry."
Emperor Kang nodded, "Of course I believe you."
After Bai Fengyao entered, she saw that only Imperial Physician Tang was guarding the Empress Dowager, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she can find a way to get Imperial Physician Tang away, she can feed the Empress Dowager poison and put the blame on Rong Yehua!
If the vassal states are in chaos and the disaster victims in the north riot, Xiling will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the vassal states, and the high priest's goal of unifying the three kingdoms will be one step closer!
"Imperial Physician Tang!"
Imperial Physician Tang did not realize that the Qu Li in front of him was Bai Fengyao in disguise. He was just confused and couldn't understand why she had just pretended to be an old woman and now appeared in her true form. What was she up to?
"Miss Qu." Imperial Physician Tang always treated her with respect.
Xiao Xian stood outside with an expressionless face and a fierce look, like an experienced hunter, just waiting for his prey to bare its fangs.
"You go out first. I want to give acupuncture to the Queen Mother alone."
Imperial Physician Tang had no doubts. "Then if you have any instructions, just call me."
"good."
After the door closed, Bai Fengyao picked up a slender silver needle beside her and stared at the Empress Dowager with cold eyes.
If she hadn't issued the decree granting the marriage, she would have been the Princess of Chen!
She will not become a concubine who is always suppressed by Qu Li!
If she hadn't defended Qu Li and backed him up, how could she still be lingering on with the face of the person she hated the most?
She had forgotten that what she should do most now was to poison the Empress Dowager first, and instead wanted to stab her with a silver needle to vent her anger.
The silver needle pierced into the empress dowager's flesh, and the empress dowager, who was originally in a coma, suddenly let out a muffled groan.
Bai Fengyao was frightened, and the hatred in her eyes had not yet subsided, and panic spread in her eyes.
Kangdi, who had been paying attention to the situation inside, heard the sound and immediately pushed the door open.
"Is the Queen Mother awake?"
Bai Fengyao's face was as pale as gold paper. She bit her lip and glanced at the empress dowager, whose eyes were open but unfocused.
Kangdi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell.
"Qu Li is indeed an excellent doctor! I have a generous reward!"
Bai Fengyao's blood almost froze, and she secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager.
