Qu Li shook his head.
Kangdi watched the two of them flirting with each other, and anger burned in his heart.
He pointed at Xiao Xian and shouted angrily, "You really disappoint me! Since you care so much about this woman, you must keep her by your side even if you have to snatch her away! You are really embarrassing me!"
These words were extremely harsh. Xiao Xian's handsome face was full of astonishment. He twisted his neck and looked at the furious Emperor Kang.
"Father, what are you talking about?"
What he said was not only a scolding, but also an insult to Qu Li.
"What do you mean you don't understand?"
Kangdi's face looked extremely ugly, his eyes were bloodshot, and the blood vessels on his forehead were bulging with anger.
Qu Li looked at Emperor Kang and cried out in his heart, "Not good."
Sure enough, the next second, Kangdi staggered and fell to the ground.
"Father?!"
Xiao Xian rushed forward and was about to help him, but was stopped by Qu Li.
She took Kangdi's pulse and her expression became more and more solemn.
"Stroke, toxin accumulation, the situation is very bad!"
"Is there no way at all?" Xiao Xian's eyes were full of hope.
If even Qu Li can't do anything about it, then I guess my father will have to lie in bed all day long.
Qu Li actually did have some solution.
Last time, she added some holy fruit to Changsun Wuji's medicine. Changsun Wuji has recovered very well now and can walk a few steps with the help of others.
But she is not a saint, and Kangdi's brain has been damaged by these so-called elixirs of immortality. He has become more and more paranoid, absurd and furious.
If such a person continues to be emperor, it will only be a disaster for the people.
Xiao Xian held his breath and called out softly, "Qu Li?"
Qu Li retracted his wandering thoughts: "I'm just a doctor, not a god."
The fire of hope in Xiao Xian's eyes gradually died out, and his whole body was shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness.
"Xiao Xian, you would be more suitable to be the emperor than him."
Xiao Xian laughed at himself, "I'm afraid by then, I'll really be alone!"
Although there seem to be three thousand beauties in his harem, no one can enter his heart.
He seems to be in a high position, holding the power of life and death over all people in the world, but in fact, everyone is separated from him because of fear.
He looked down on this position before, and he still looks down on it now.
"We agreed before that if you divorce me, I will help you take that position!"
The pain in his heart surged again. Xiao Xian raised his hand and pressed it against his chest. After a long pause, he whispered, "If I don't become the emperor, will the agreement between you and me remain in place?"
Qu Li's eyes trembled slightly, and she instantly guessed what he was thinking.
He had always wanted to be involved with her, but unfortunately, she really wanted to break up with him completely!
"If you don't become the emperor now, the agreement between us won't last forever!"
Catching the confusion in his eyes, Qu Li continued calmly, "Because you gave up on yourself! Xiao Xian, you are an excellent person. Don't let down the people of Dagan for the sake of love!"
Although he is not good at judging people and is a scumbag, his abilities are undeniable.
Looking at the entire Dagan period, no one is more suitable to be the emperor than him.
Qu Li's words today came completely from the heart.
She thought that she would never get so close to him again, nor would she talk to him so much again.
Xiao Xian's heart ached even more.
The veins on the back of his hands were knotted from suppressing his emotions.
After a long time, until everything in front of him became blurry, he slowly stood up.
Qu Li had already given Kangdi acupuncture, and asked Eunuch Fu and a few young eunuchs to help Kangdi back to the bed.
The Empress Dowager could not bear these successive blows, and there seemed to be more silver hair on her head.
Qu Li was really surprised when he saw her.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
"Qu Li, tell me the truth, is the Emperor really at a loss for words?"
"No."
His eyes were calm and composed. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager sighed again.
"Life!"
"Qu Li dares to suggest that the Emperor move to Laiyi Palace. The environment there is pleasant, and it was the palace where Concubine Rong lived during her lifetime. It should be suitable for the Emperor to recuperate! In addition, Prince Chen has always been reluctant to ascend the throne. Qu Li also hopes that the Empress Dowager can consider the people of the world and raise this matter with Prince Chen."
The Empress Dowager looked at her calm face, and all the memories flashed before her eyes like a fast-forwarded movie.
She took Qu Li's hand and said softly, "The last time King Zhongshan wanted to take you as his sister, he had to give up because of all the mess!"
Qu Li smiled and said, "It's not our destiny."
"I want to adopt you as my granddaughter, don't refuse!"
She opened her mouth, the words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but when she met the Empress Dowager's meaningful eyes, she suddenly understood everything.
"Qu Li thanks the Queen Mother for her kindness!"
"From now on, I'll call you Imperial Grandmother."
Qu Li smiled and nodded, calling out obediently, "Grandmother."
The news that the Empress Dowager adopted Qu Li as her granddaughter spread like wildfire. In just one day, almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
Some people say that Qu Li deserves such glory, some say that the reason why the Queen Mother recognized her as her granddaughter was to eliminate the possibility of reconciliation between Prince Chen and her, and some say that the Queen Mother did so because she wanted to send her to marry into the Southern Qi Dynasty.
When mentioning Southern Qi, people can't help but think of the Yehe Kingdom, which had an alliance with Southern Qi.
"Qu Li insisted on divorcing Prince Chen because she didn't want to share a husband with other women. If she were to marry into the Southern Qi clan, wouldn't she still be unable to escape the fate of competing for favor with other women?"
"You can't say that. This is the Empress Dowager's intention. If she dares to disobey, won't she lose her head?"
"The previous divorce was already shocking. If something else happens this time..."
Inside the Shanshan Health Restaurant, several young men from aristocratic families were chatting about Qu Li as if no one else was around.
The air pressure in the private room next door is extremely low.
"Bang--"
Changsun Lingrui couldn't hold it in any longer and slammed his fist on the table.
Chang Sun Wu looked at him calmly, "Sit down! Why can't you hold it together like Ling Si?"
"Third Uncle!"
"Ling Si has made some progress in the military camp recently! If you continue like this, I will send you to your father's military camp after returning to Xiling."
"I can't stand the way they frame my cousin."
"Are my two ears just for decoration?" Chang Sun Wu's eyes were as cold as the coldest days of winter.
The precious child of their Changsun family was actually being maliciously talked about by these people. He would definitely not let this matter go.
Changsun Lingrui was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Xiao Xian who was being retaliated against by them.
Although their mounts were later returned to Prince Chen's Mansion unharmed, this humiliation was not something that could be forgotten.
"I heard that the abandoned Second Prince and the Fourth Prince once fell into a toilet and a stinking ditch respectively..." Chang Sun Wu tapped lightly on the table with his slender fingers, his eyes full of calculation.
