When Qu Li took Emperor Kang's pulse, he could feel that his pulse was very weak.
This feeling is like being overdrawn, and it is very difficult to make up for it.
"Qu Li, is the emperor in a very bad condition?" The empress dowager was really worried and walked in supported by Nanny Gong.
"The Emperor's condition can't be said to be bad."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's frown slowly relaxed.
“It’s very bad!”
The Empress Dowager's body swayed, but fortunately, Nanny Gong was there to steady her so she didn't fall.
"Empress Dowager, Qu Li will do his best. However, it's not easy to recover this overdrawn health."
"What do you mean?"
"Before, Xiao Zhao poisoned the Emperor, causing severe damage to his dragon body! Originally, if the Emperor had eaten well and maintained a cheerful mood, he could have slowly recovered!
But he didn't know if he was bewitched, but actually believed in Taoist elixirs of immortality.
So-called elixirs of immortality are highly toxic and contain excessive levels of heavy metals. While they may have a short-term effect of causing euphoria and mental well-being, long-term use can lead to a buildup of toxicity and serious damage to the body.
Almost every time Qu Li said an extra word, the Empress Dowager's heart sank a little.
"Qu Li, I know you are an excellent doctor. You must heal the emperor!"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother! Qu Li will definitely do his best!"
The Empress Dowager took a deep look at Emperor Kang, whose face had turned pale, and her eyes turned red.
Qu Li first gave Kangdi acupuncture, then gave him some spiritual spring water to drink, and then walked out.
All the imperial doctors stared at her eagerly.
"I want to ask, who is responsible for the emperor's safety pulse?"
“It’s… it’s me!”
"Imperial Physician Zhang?" Qu Li frowned.
Because of the Empress Dowager, she had more or less contact with these imperial doctors before.
Imperial Physician Zhang is also a very upright person. If he finds that something is wrong with Emperor Kang, he will not hide it.
Stared at by Qu Li's sharp eyes, which were black and white, the corners of his lips drooped and cold sweat covered his forehead.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, don't you notice that there is something wrong with the emperor's pulse?" Imperial Physician Tang said with a stern face and a bad tone.
"Imperial Doctor Tang, this matter..."
Imperial Physician Zhang was in tears.
He noticed early on that something was wrong with Kangdi. He put forward his suggestions frankly, but not only did he not get Kangdi's approval, he was almost beheaded by Kangdi.
From then on, Emperor Kangdi refused to let him take his pulse, but threatened him verbally not to tell anyone about this matter.
Imperial Physician Zhang is now like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither human nor unkind.
Qu Li frowned and pondered for a moment, then he could figure out why Imperial Physician Zhang was like this.
It's really not his fault. It's all because of Kangdi's own pursuit of immortality.
"Miss Qu, the emperor should be okay, right?"
"I just gave the emperor acupuncture and he took medicine to detoxify him, but his body is fundamentally damaged. Recovery won't be easy! I'm afraid I can't work so hard on him in the future!"
Hearing this, everyone felt a little depressed.
The Empress Dowager's face was frosty and her eyes were fixed on Imperial Physician Zhang with a gloomy look.
"Someone, take Imperial Physician Zhang and put him in jail!"
Even if Kangdi threatened him and stopped him from telling everything, he could still tell her secretly.
She is Kangdi's biological mother, and Kangdi has always attached great importance to filial piety.
Even if he still stubbornly pursues immortality, she can still give him some advice!
But he just concealed such a big thing in order to save his own life.
The Empress Dowager was very angry, and Imperial Physician Zhang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I am afraid too!"
"Since you are the Imperial Physician, you should know your responsibilities!" The Empress Dowager did not feel pity for Imperial Physician Zhang. Her brows were stern and she asked, "Why don't you take him away quickly?"
No matter how much Imperial Physician Zhang begged, the Empress Dowager remained unmoved.
Qu Li returned to the side hall.
Kangdi had already woken up, and when he saw Qu Li, he was in a trance for a moment.
"What's wrong with me?"
Qu Li looked at him indifferently, "Your Majesty, you have taken so many elixirs of immortality recently that you were initially over-excited, but now you are experiencing the backlash."
Kangdi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Impossible!"
"Your Majesty, the heavy metal levels in your body are excessive, and the toxins are accumulating, causing severe damage to your brain and heart."
"Shut up!" Emperor Kang was furious, and the blood vessels in his neck bulged with anger.
For a moment, Qu Li thought Kangdi was crazy.
She remembered the saying "Never try to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep", so she put on a cold face and watched Kangdi jump up and down in anger.
"Someone come!"
Hearing Emperor Kang's angry voice, the Queen Mother came in immediately.
"emperor!"
"Mother, Qu Li is misleading the people with her lies. I don't want to see her again!" Emperor Kang said angrily.
The Empress Dowager's expression was extremely grim: "Your Majesty, it's all thanks to Qu Li that you woke up."
Just now, all the imperial doctors were helpless, timid, and could only say useless things.
If it weren’t for Qu Li, who knows when Emperor Kang would wake up.
"Where is my medicine?" Emperor Kang's eyes were red and he looked at Eunuch Fu angrily.
Eunuch Fu had never known what the medicines Emperor Kang was taking were. Now that he knew, he knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, you must not take those medicines anymore!"
Kangdi sat up and pointed at his shaking hands: "Even you want to disobey me, right?"
The feeling of oppression is very strong.
Eunuch Fu didn't dare to look up, but instead bowed his head to the ground, begging.
The Empress Dowager said solemnly, "Your Majesty, where is there any secret to immortality in this world? Look at yourself now."
"Mother, I'm just too tired recently."
"Your Majesty, why are you so stubborn?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes turned red with anger.
"Empress Dowager, please don't be angry." Qu Li comforted the Empress Dowager.
"Qu Li, even if you insist on a divorce, I have never made things difficult for you. How can you speak nonsense in front of our mother?"
Kangdi stared at Qu Li with sharp eyes, and almost had someone drag her out and beat her to death with sticks.
Xiao Xian said in a cold voice, "Father, you are not unaware of the extraordinary medical skills of Qu Li! Why would you rather trust those deceitful quacks out there than Qu Li?"
"You blame me too?" Emperor Kang stood up shakily, with anger and disappointment in his eyes.
"Father, everyone is concerned about you. How can you blame you?"
"Shut up!" Emperor Kang cursed.
He felt that Xiao Xian was really not capable of handling such a heavy responsibility.
For the sake of Qu Li, he made himself depressed, and now he is disobeying and contradicting his father for Qu Li.
He is really his good son!
