The eldest princess walked straight towards Qu Li, and Qu Li guessed that she must have something to say to her.
"Grand Princess, I won't take it to heart."
"My mother has been proud her whole life. She was once a spoiled little girl too! But she especially loved my father, who was so dashing on horseback! At that time, the imperial relatives were powerful, and the Dagan Empire was also experiencing various instabilities.
The Queen Mother accompanied the Emperor Father in disguise as men to pacify the foreign relatives, but unexpectedly they were besieged and surrounded.
To save my father, my mother did everything she could to block an arrow for him, but due to the huge impact, she fell off her horse and hit her head on a rock.
When talking about the exciting youthful memories between her parents, the eldest princess showed envy in her eyes.
The dazzling light made Changle stare in amazement.
"I heard that my father is also a general!" Changle whispered in Qu Li's ear.
Qu Li pinched her fingers, signaling her to continue listening.
"The situation was dire at the time. Everyone thought my mother would definitely die. After all, that arrow was infused with internal energy and was also poisoned. My father was filled with grief and indignation, and he fought bravely. He finally led everyone and broke through the encirclement, and even killed 3,000 soldiers of my relatives."
Qu Li had witnessed the cruelty of war, and she couldn't help but give the empress dowager a thumbs up in her heart, and her displeasure and vigilance decreased a lot.
"The military doctor gave my mother first aid. Fortunately, there was valuable medicine available, and my mother was in excellent physical condition. She recovered quickly, but only suffered a headache."
Qu Li had previously suspected that the Empress Dowager's headache was caused by a fall, and the words of the Grand Princess further confirmed her guess.
"Grand Princess, I can treat the Queen Mother, but it's a long-standing illness, so it's impossible to completely cure it! Also, I have a condition: no one else is allowed to be around while I'm treating her!"
When the Grand Princess heard Qu Li say that it could be cured, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
but……
The Grand Princess frowned and asked, "Why don't you allow others to be around?"
"Grand Princess, all doctors have their own unique secrets!"
She is not sure yet whether she can get the Empress Dowager into the space for a brain CT scan. If not, she will have to take out the pocket-sized brain CT machine.
In any case, if this kind of high-tech thing were discovered by someone, it would be difficult to explain.
"I see..."
"Also, if something goes wrong during the diagnosis and treatment, and it's not because of me, who will be blamed?"
The eldest princess's expression grew increasingly serious. "My mother is currently experiencing a mental breakdown. Many people in the palace are not optimistic about you. The emperor just announced that he would issue an imperial decree to find a renowned doctor."
Qu Li frowned and pondered, "Does the Grand Princess want me to reveal the imperial edict in a different capacity?"
The eldest princess looked at her with an increasingly profound gaze.
What a smart kid indeed!
"Qu Li, no matter if it's because of your mother or not, I will keep you safe!"
In fact, she felt that it was a bit redundant for her to make such a promise. She unconditionally believed that Qu Li was the only one who could cure the Empress Dowager, no one else!
Qu Li smiled and said, "I will do my best. When I am ready, I will send a message to the Grand Princess!"
Changle took advantage of the opportunity and took Qu Li's arm, like a cat asking for petting, and put her face on Qu Li's arm: "Mom, I'm still young and want to play more... No, I want to learn more from my seventh cousin. Girls always need to have a skill to live a happier life, right?"
She stared at me with a pair of big, KISS ME eyes, looking cute and adorable, without any trace of arrogance or conceit.
Qu Li couldn't help but frown in confusion.
Could it be that Changle was hurriedly called back to the Grand Princess's Mansion that day because of her marriage?
How could Xiao Xian be so despicable as to interfere in Changle's marriage?
Xiao Xian was inexplicably glared at by Qu Li, and looked puzzled.
Thinking of how she had just exchanged glances with Feng Yi and even fought with him to protect Feng Yi, he raised his chin slightly in a proud manner.
Qu Li's eyes became even colder, and he swore that when he returned, he would make Xiao Xian suffer some punishment!
The eldest princess was troubled by Changle's obviously unreasonable remarks. She sighed, "What a silver tongue!"
Changle bared her teeth at her, earning a disdainful glare from the Grand Princess.
"Li'er, please take good care of Changle!"
Qu Li hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts.
"Grand Princess, although everyone nowadays values parental consent and matchmaker's words, blind marriages still have many disadvantages! Changle is lively and active. If she were to be confined to the harem so early, surrounded by daily intrigues, I'm afraid she would gradually become silent and withdrawn, becoming a stranger even to herself!"
It was obviously the first time that the Grand Princess heard such remarks, so she looked at Qu Li with extremely complicated eyes.
"Seventh cousin's wife is right! After all, a person's life is neither long nor short. Mother, I just want to be like you and find someone who shares my feelings. Even if it's only a few short years, when we're all gray-haired, I'll feel happy and sweet!"
She had seen her mother staring blankly and crying at night holding her father's portrait more than once, but every time she mentioned her father, her mother's eyes were bright.
She envied such an unforgettable relationship!
The eldest princess sighed and said, "I hope you won't regret it in the future."
Changle puffed out his chest and said, "Mom, I won't regret it!"
"Forget it!"
Xiao Xian originally planned to teach Qu Li a lesson on the way back to let her know what the husband's responsibility is, but he didn't expect that Changle would appear as a scoundrel, and his face was so black that it almost turned into ash at the bottom of the pot.
"Seventh cousin, can you please go out first? I want to have some intimate conversation with my seventh cousin's wife!"
As soon as he got into the carriage, Changle kicked him out in disgust.
He wanted to scold Changle, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the eldest princess looking at him. He could only sit on the shaft of the carriage with a very troubled face.
Qu Li couldn't help laughing and gave her a thumbs up.
"Seventh cousin, how is our brother recovering recently?"
Qu Li looked at her face that looked like a young girl in love and raised his eyebrows.
"Why do you care so much about Wen Zhao?"
Only then did Changle realize that he had been a bit abrupt.
A shy blush appeared on her cheeks, and she muttered in a reproachful tone, "Seventh cousin, why are you teasing me?"
The smile on Qu Li's lips deepened: "How can I be joking? It's clearly the truth!"
Changle was angry and went to tickle Qu Li's itchy spot.
Qu Li also tickled her with his backhand, and the two of them were having a lot of fun in the carriage.
Xiao Xian's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
What a careless woman!
I can actually still laugh!
