Xiao Xian's whole body was tense.
Realizing that Feng Yi had tricked him, he punched Feng Yi and then turned around with a cold face.
"Why? You want to vent your anger for other men in front of me?"
Qu Li's eyes were cold and he took a few steps forward.
Feng Yi gave Xiao Xian a strange look.
She took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Feng Yi: "Prince Feng! This is the best medicine. Please do me a favor and let it go!"
Although she knew that Feng Yi must have done something bad in recent years, he was beaten by Xiao Xian in the palace, especially since next month was the deadline for the hostage, it was impossible for Emperor Kang not to punish Xiao Xian.
She didn't want to cause any more trouble and just wanted to keep things peaceful.
Feng Yi held the bottle of medicine tightly, and could still vaguely feel the woman's body temperature remaining on the bottle.
A warmth grew in his heart, wrapping around his cold and broken heart again and again.
Xiao Xian's eyes flashed dangerously, he grabbed Qu Li's wrist, and a cold aura emanated from his body.
Qu Li glared at him: "Xiao Xian, this is the imperial palace, don't go crazy!"
"Do you know who he is? He clearly saw you following him just now and deliberately provoked me!"
"Xiao Xian, your martial arts skills are so advanced, don't tell me you didn't even notice I was following you!"
I guess even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe it!
Xiao Xian just saw Feng Yi and Qu Li exchange glances with each other. The eyes he looked at Qu Li were unusually gentle, and a trace of evil fire inexplicably rose in his heart, which indeed suppressed his five senses.
Feng Yi quickly said, "Princess Chen, you're too polite! Prince Chen and I were just exchanging martial arts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xian glared at him.
"You have no right to speak!"
Qu Li's face became increasingly gloomy: "Xiao Xian, you really are just trying to seduce me!"
Xiao Xianmei's heart was beating wildly: "What do you say this king is?!"
Just a short sentence, just a few words, each one seemed to be polished out from between lips and teeth.
Feng Yi's expression of apology deepened. He stuffed the medicine bottle into his arms and bowed, "Prince Chen and Princess Chen, please don't quarrel over me. I'll take my leave now!"
Although he was reluctant, he also knew that she was still his princess in name only, and he didn't want her to bear any bad reputation because of him!
Qu Li nodded apologetically.
However, this look angered Xiao Xian again.
"Are you so reluctant to leave?" His eyes were bloodshot and he pinched Qu Li's chin.
Qu Li felt as if her jaw could be crushed at any time. Her pupils constricted and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
He flipped his hand and took out a largest syringe for spinal cord extraction from the space, which was full of anesthetic.
The needle tip reflected the sunlight and pierced into Xiao Xian's eyes.
Qu Li failed to hit the target this time. A storm was brewing in her eyes, and she stabbed at Xiao Xian's back again with great ferocity.
Just as the sword was about to hit Xiao Xian's shoulder, Eunuch Fu's apprentice Xiao Dengzi hurried over.
"Prince Chen, Princess Chen, please hurry to the Cining Palace! The Empress Dowager has fainted!"
Xiao Xian's expression suddenly changed several times. He let go of Qu Li and left quickly.
Qu Li rubbed his aching chin, put the syringe back into the space, and glanced at Xiao Dengzi indifferently.
Little Dengzi was shocked by Qu Li's cold, warning look. He shuddered violently, lowered his head, and dared not breathe.
The atmosphere in the Cining Palace was very heavy.
Emperor Kang and the Queen both looked worried, and several princes and princesses were waiting quietly.
Xiao Xian and Qu Li walked in one after another. Emperor Kang just looked at Xiao Xian deeply and didn't say much.
Seeing that Emperor Kang was silent, the Queen also sat quietly and waited.
Soon, the imperial doctors came out from the inner hall one after another.
"How is the Queen Mother?" asked Emperor Kangdi.
"The Empress Dowager has had this headache for decades. We can only confirm that she hit her head and has had blood clots in her brain since then, which is why she often suffers from severe headaches."
Kangdi has always been filial. Upon hearing this, he said in an urgent tone: "Since you know the cause, why don't you treat it?"
Several imperial doctors all looked solemn.
Imperial Physician Tang looked troubled. "Your Majesty, over the years, we have tried countless ways to help the Empress Dowager dissolve the blood clot in her brain. But..."
Kangdi's expression grew increasingly gloomy. "I don't want to hear anything! I want you to come up with a solution within three days! Otherwise, I'll chop off your heads!"
All the imperial doctors knelt down in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is suffering from a serious illness, and we are helpless!"
Qu Li listened quietly at the side, already having some guesses in his mind.
The Empress Dowager must have hit her head when she was young, but there was no such thing as a CT scanner in that era. In addition, the injury was to the brain, and I'm afraid the wound was not treated properly at the time. Besides the blood clot, there must be other things in the brain.
Over the years, these dirty things have merged with the flesh and blood, forming hematomas, which is why the Queen Mother often suffers from headaches.
"I don't want to hear you say such things!"
The atmosphere in the outer hall was heavy, and in the inner hall, the eldest princess who was guarding the Empress Dowager and two maids also had red eyes.
The Queen Mother was clearly fine before, why did she suddenly faint?
Changle held the Empress Dowager's hand and said excitedly in a hoarse voice, "Mother, the Empress Dowager's eyelids are moving!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess and two maids hurried forward.
The Empress Dowager's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Mother?" The eldest princess cried with joy.
The Empress Dowager's eyes still held a hint of confusion from having just woken up. She frowned, her unfocused eyes reaching out to touch her body. "Have I slept for a long time? Why is it already dark?"
Several people's hearts skipped a beat.
It’s not dark yet!
Changle held her breath, stretched out her hand, and waved tremblingly in front of the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother didn't react at all.
Changle bit her lip and turned to look at the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess took a deep breath and said to one of the maids, "Madame Han, go notify the imperial physician."
Nanny Han nodded and walked out. Soon, Emperor Kang and the Queen hurried in.
"Mother!"
The Empress Dowager looked over and asked, "Your Majesty, is it already dark?"
Kangdi's face changed suddenly.
The queen also frowned.
"Is it dark? Nanny Han, why haven't you turned on the lamp yet?" The Empress Dowager was a little embarrassed and angry.
Nanny Han's eyes turned red, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The imperial doctors came forward and took the Empress Dowager's pulse.
The Empress Dowager, who was in the harem, had already noticed that something was wrong.
In addition, she often had symptoms of sudden blacking out in front of her eyes, and she became very excited.
"Am I blind?"
Changle could no longer hold back and comforted her in a hoarse voice, "Empress Dowager, you'll be fine! You have to trust the imperial doctors!"
The eldest princess held her arm and said, "Don't cry!"
Changle suddenly saw the person waiting outside, and walked out quickly with red eyes.
