"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you now?" Disappointment quickly spread in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
"Mother, I am the Son of Heaven, blessed by Heaven!"
"Stupid!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap him.
"I'm not confused at all! I feel fine now."
"Father, Qu Li just gave you acupuncture and medicine, so you will feel better."
If it weren't for Qu Li, Emperor Kang would still be unconscious, lying on the couch with a blue face.
Emperor Kang was now paranoid that Xiao Xian and the others were playing against him. His brows were stern, and his eyes were filled with hostility. "Get out of here!"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and looked at the furious Emperor Kang with a strange look in her eyes.
"You actually told me to get out too?"
Emperor Kang opened his mouth, about to explain, when he heard the Queen Mother angrily say, "I'll get out of here now. I'm not in the Emperor's sight!"
After saying that, she looked at Xiao Xian, Xiao Qi, and Qu Li, "All of you, follow me!"
"Mother!"
"Royal Grandmother!"
The voices of Emperor Kang and Xiao Xian sounded almost at the same time.
The Queen Mother snorted unhappily and left with her people.
The huge side hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
Kangdi's heart pumped hard, then stalled and began beating.
He took out a medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and put them in his mouth.
When Eunuch Fu saw this, his face changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, you must not take these elixirs anymore."
Emperor Kang's brows were sharp: "Shut up! It's not your turn to meddle in my affairs."
Eunuch Fu pursed his lips, not knowing how to persuade him.
He bowed and retreated, caught up with the Queen Mother and others, and told them that Emperor Kang had taken several more elixirs of immortality.
The Empress Dowager clenched her hands in anger: "How can the Emperor be so confused?!"
"Eunuch Fu, although you don't know that the pills the emperor takes are poisonous, you should at least know who gave them to the emperor, right?"
Being stared at by Qu Li, beads of sweat broke out on Eunuch Fu's forehead.
He pursed his cracked lips and said, "I don't know either, but the emperor suddenly became interested in this."
Qu Li and Xiao Xian exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of conspiracy in the other's eyes.
"Ah Xian, find out as soon as possible!"
After all, the Empress Dowager had been in this palace for decades and was accustomed to all kinds of secrets, so she naturally felt that this matter was unusual.
Xiao Xian said, "Don't worry, Grandmother, I will definitely find out as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried and messy footsteps in the distance.
Everyone's eyebrows jumped at the same time, and a bad feeling arose.
"Empress Dowager, Prince Chen..."
The one who came running was the apprentice of Imperial Physician Tang, gasping for breath.
"Just say it!" the Queen Mother said sternly.
"The Emperor has fainted again!"
The Empress Dowager felt dizzy and her body swayed.
"Empress Dowager!" Nanny Gong hurriedly reached out to support her.
Qu Li gave the Empress Dowager a quick-acting heart-saving pill and asked Nanny Gong to stay with her first, while she and Xiao Xian returned to the side hall of the imperial study.
"Prince Chen!" All the imperial doctors seemed to have found their backbone and gathered around him.
Xiao Xian's eyebrows were cold, and his dark eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces. He said to Qu Li, "You go in first and check father's pulse."
Qu Li nodded and walked in.
Kangdi's face looked very ugly. She walked forward, took his pulse, and her eyebrows twitched.
Perhaps because Kangdi had just taken some elixir of immortality, his pulse was worse than before.
That empty feeling, as if this person could disappear at any moment.
She decisively gave Kangdi some more spiritual spring water, took out a thousand-year-old ginseng, cut a piece, and put it in his mouth.
Xiao Xian was very capable and he quickly found out that it was the people from the Zhenbei General's Mansion who bribed a young eunuch around Emperor Kang in the past few days. His casual words just hit the mark of Emperor Kang and easily made his mind active.
He ordered people to arrest the young eunuch, and asked Mo Wenqing and the imperial guards to raid the General Zhenbei's Mansion.
"General Zhenbei is definitely because of Xiao Ci."
"I will arrange it, you don't have to worry." When Xiao Xian looked at Qu Li, his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but become gentle.
"I'm not worried."
Xiao Xian was a god of war after all, and he became famous in one battle when he was young.
He would never allow a General Zhenbei to bring disaster to the stability and harmony of Dagan.
"Father, he..."
"As I said before, the Emperor's foundation has been damaged. No matter how many methods you use, it is impossible to restore him to his previous state!"
Xiao Xian could see that Qu Li seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"You want me to persuade our father to abdicate and let someone else take over?"
"The Emperor is extremely emotional right now, and given his condition, we can't afford to worry about him any longer!"
Xiao Xian pursed his lips and remained silent.
Qu Li had already said what needed to be said, and what should be done next was not something she could interfere with.
"I heard that the Changsun clan came from Xiling to do some heavy work."
Qu Li was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Xian continued, "I think they must be discussing the marriage between Southern Qi and Yehe."
The Changsun family was very protective of their own people. They had sent people to rob his horse, forcing him to walk all the way back to the north.
This time, when he heard that Feng Yi might marry Princess Haina of Yehe Kingdom, he didn't believe that they would let it go so easily.
"You seem very excited." Qu Li looked at his expression.
"Really?" Xiao Xian touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
Although she had made it very clear to him last time, he had indeed made up his mind not to get entangled with her anymore.
But Feng Yi is courting his own death, so maybe he still has a chance?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"I'll go in and see if the emperor has woken up."
Xiao Xian nodded.
When Qu Li walked in, he saw Kangdi opened his eyes and was rubbing his right hand.
"Why is my right hand wooden?"
She walked forward and was about to examine Kangdi, but was pushed away by Kangdi.
Qu Li was not paying attention for a moment and her lower back hit the table beside her. The pain made her eyes red.
Xiao Xian happened to come in and his face darkened when he saw this.
"Father, what are you doing? If it weren't for Qu Li, you would never wake up this time!"
Meeting Xiao Xian's eyes filled with anger, Emperor Kang felt chilled to the bone.
"Is that how you talk to me?"
"Father, I know you've been bewitched, leading you to become obsessed with the art of immortality! Those who bewitched you and sought to harm you have already been apprehended by me!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang was not pleased at all. Instead, he was furious: "What did you say? You also captured Taoist Wuyou?"
"That man is nothing more than a swindler, not a man who has comprehended the mysteries of heaven!" Xiao Xian walked to Qu Li's side, his eyes showing undisguised concern. "Are you okay?"
