"The Queen has arrived—"
The queen walked in and glanced quickly at Qu Li and Changle.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
"Why is the Queen here?" Emperor Kang frowned and looked depressed.
"I was originally chanting sutras and praying for my mother in the Buddhist temple. When I heard someone was revealing the imperial edict, I became very worried and decided to come over to take a look!"
Kangdi nodded, "This is the miracle doctor."
The Queen's eyes were filled with doubt. "Your Majesty, after all, the Queen Mother is a daughter of a thousand gold. She's not just any random person who can call herself a miracle doctor!"
This is really harsh.
Before Qu Li could react at all, Changle was the first to get angry.
"What do you mean, Queen? My master is a skilled doctor who has cured so many people, so why is he just calling him a nobody?"
Changle had never liked the queen before. She always felt that she looked noble and dignified, but it was as if she was wearing a mask.
Those things like kindness and nobility, to put it bluntly, are hypocrisy and look down on others!
The Grand Princess had previously warned her not to get into conflict with the Queen once she entered the palace.
Changle didn't care at all before, but now when she heard the queen belittling her idol like this, she couldn't help it at all.
The queen's face changed suddenly.
Huang Ma, who was beside her, had a stern face and scolded her harshly, "Who the hell are you? How dare you speak to the Empress like that! Come on, kick him out and slap him in the face!"
Changle gritted his teeth, "You dare!"
Qu Li narrowed his eyes dangerously, turned his fingers, and a silver needle suddenly appeared at his fingertips.
“Whoosh—”
The silver needle pierced into the philtrum of Madam Huang. Madam Huang, who was teaching Changle a lesson with a ferocious look on her face, stared at the silver needle trembling above her philtrum with her eyes crossed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
The queen's face grew increasingly gloomy.
There was a hint of surprise in Kangdi's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I've always heard that the Empress is the mother of the nation, and I thought she would be dignified and virtuous. Not only did she say such vulgar words like "cats and dogs", but the people around her are also so arrogant! Your Majesty, I consider myself upright. Goudan may be more direct, but she also has her reasons! She is trying to protect me!"
Kangdi's face turned pale and blue, and felt a little hot.
He coughed and explained, "Divine Doctor, the Queen has always been very cautious. She is also concerned about her mother!"
"Ha!" Qu Li sneered, his eyes filled with mockery. "If the Emperor says so, can I then say that the Empress, while appearing to be a model mother of the nation, noble and virtuous, actually has bad breath and a bad temper, even worse than a country woman?"
"you--"
The queen was furious. She pointed at her and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Kangdi also felt ashamed.
Just at this moment, the chorus was heard again outside.
The Grand Princess came in and tried to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, miraculous doctor! I apologize to him on behalf of the Empress!"
"I don't accept it!" Qu Li raised his chin slightly, his eyes cold: "Besides, it wasn't the Grand Princess who did something wrong!"
The queen's face became even uglier.
Kangdi hesitated for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the Queen's face: "Queen!"
The Queen's eyes were filled with resentment, her chest rising and falling. "Your Majesty, what have I done wrong? I am only worried about my mother! If he is truly a miracle doctor, how could he say such a thing?"
"Empress, there is nothing absolutely certain in this world!" Qu Li looked at Emperor Kang and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave!"
"Miracle doctor!" Emperor Kang glared at the Queen, "Apologize to the miracle doctor!"
The Queen was unwilling to give in, but under Emperor Kang's gaze that seemed to almost torture her to death, she had to quietly apologize to Qu Li.
Qu Li rubbed his ears, his brows almost twisted into knots: "If Her Majesty the Queen feels that this is too much, then there is no need to force it!"
Changle quickly added: "My master's hearing is not very good!"
The eldest princess advised, "Empress, this concerns our mother after all. Now that he is the first miracle doctor to reveal the imperial edict, since you have apologized, why not show some sincerity!"
The queen was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She is the mother of a country. It is already a great honor for her to apologize. How could you even want her to apologize loudly?
Qu Li twirled his beard and looked at the queen with a playful look.
At the previous birthday banquet, the way the Queen looked at her made her extremely uncomfortable, and she also deliberately mentioned the matter of having a child. She has always been vindictive, and if she gets the chance, she will definitely teach the Queen a lesson!
The queen clenched her hands and squeezed out a sentence: "I'm sorry!"
There wasn't much sincerity in it, but it was enough for everyone in the Cining Palace to hear it clearly.
There are no secrets in the palace. I believe that the news that the queen endured the humiliation and apologized will spread quickly throughout the palace as if it had wings.
With the mediation of the Grand Princess, Emperor Kang finally agreed to Qu Li's proposal.
When Qu Li walked into the inner hall, the empress dowager had already taken the medicine and fell asleep.
She walked forward, took the Empress Dowager's hand, and carefully took her pulse.
Then, try to move the Queen Mother into the space.
After countless attempts, the Empress Dowager was always blocked out.
She was somewhat helpless and finally had to take out a portable CT scanner to scan the Empress Dowager's brain.
Soon, a CT scan appeared on the main machine in the space.
Qu Li entered the space again, took the CT film and looked at it carefully.
As she expected, the Empress Dowager had injured her head when she fell, and the military doctor only bandaged her wound. However, due to the poor medical conditions, the wound was not cleaned properly.
This eventually led to the presence of dirt in the Empress Dowager's brain. After so many years, the dirt had long been covered by flesh and blood, forming a tumor in her brain.
There was indeed nothing wrong with the imperial physician's previous treatment method, but the medical conditions of that era were so poor that the medicine could only expel blood clots but could not effectively remove the tumor.
Brain surgery requires a clean and sterile operating room, which is the main reason why Qu Li wants to move the Queen Mother into the space.
Since that doesn't work, the only option is to build a sterile operating room.
She was thinking of a solution in the inner hall, and the people outside all had serious expressions.
The Queen had just been humiliated, and Nanny Huang was frightened to the point of fainting. She felt humiliated and wanted to leave, but she also wanted to see whether this miracle doctor had any real ability.
After decades in the deep palace, the queen was not an impulsive person.
She finally decided to stay and wait patiently.
The heavy palace door slowly opened and Qu Li walked out.
"Divine doctor, what's wrong?" Kangdi's face was full of anxiety.
Qu Li handed him the CT film.
The imperial doctors gathered around curiously.
"What is this?"
"This is a CT scan."
"What?" Imperial Physician Tang looked towards the light. "Is this a picture of the Empress Dowager's brain?"
"Yes! From this, we can see that the Queen Mother has a tumor in her brain. It is this tumor that is pressing on the nerves in her brain, causing headaches and blindness!"
Everyone in the Imperial Hospital found it curious and discussed the CT scans.
The Queen said coldly, "Does the Miracle Doctor mean to say that if you want Mother to get better, you must cut open her head?"
