Xiao Xian walked out, "How is it?"
"Cui Liu didn't commit suicide! She was strangled to death and then hung on the tree."
There were waves in Xiao Xian's eyes, and the aura around him was even colder.
The secret guard and Guangping couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Guangping, arrange for someone to keep an eye on Bai Fengyao."
Whether it was Shaoyao, Cuiliu, or Caiju, all three were Bai Fengyao's maids. He didn't believe that their deaths had nothing to do with Bai Fengyao.
"yes!"
Xiao Xian lowered his eyes and calmed the rage in his chest, "Prepare the car!"
"Your Highness is going to the Grand Princess's residence?"
"Um!"
On the way to the Grand Princess's Mansion, Xiao Xian's heart was filled with guilt.
He has always believed in Bai Fengyao unconditionally and has been very cold to Qu Li.
He pinched her neck, treated her coldly, humiliated her, and this time even smashed her head with a tiger talisman.
"It's really completely blind!"
Guangping, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, sighed when he heard this.
The carriage stopped, but Xiao Xian learned that the Grand Princess had entered the palace. In addition, passers-by were talking about someone revealing the imperial edict today, so he immediately asked the coachman to turn around and go to the palace.
He hurried into the palace and went straight to the Cining Palace.
"Your son greets the Emperor, Father, and Mother, Aunt!"
Emperor Kang nodded, but the Queen still had a dull expression.
Xiao Xian's gaze lingered on Changle's face for a moment, and his brows furrowed.
Changle felt that his gaze was extremely sharp, as if it could see through her, and she quickly lowered her head.
A trace of doubt flashed through Xiao Xian's mind.
As night fell, the palace servants were busy lighting the lamps.
The Queen murmured, "Your Majesty, it's been so long, why is there still no movement?"
Changle was now increasingly displeased with the Queen, and said impatiently, "Master's medical skills are excellent. If he hasn't come out yet, it means it's not over yet!"
The Queen narrowed her eyes dangerously. Behind her, Nanny Huang shouted, "How dare you!"
"Tell me the truth, how can you be so bold? You can't be so picky even if you can't find fault with an egg! Those who know that the Queen Mother is worried about the Queen Mother! Those who don't know would think that the Queen Mother is just hoping something bad will happen!"
"you!!"
Nanny Huang rolled up her sleeves and was about to slap him in the face.
The eldest princess's eyes narrowed, "Enough!"
"Grand Princess, these country bumpkins should be taught some proper manners! Otherwise, they'll treat this palace like a market!"
Xiao Xian's sharp, cold gaze suddenly shifted to Nanny Huang's face, "Father hasn't even spoken a word!"
Nanny Huang pursed her lips twice but said nothing.
Kangdi said: "Wait a little longer!"
Imperial Physician Tang said, "Your Majesty, if you really want to cut the head open, you'll probably have to wait a little longer!"
"Indeed! After all, if your hand is cut, it will take a long time to treat the wound, stop the bleeding, and bandage it!" added the eldest princess.
So the palace maids served tea to everyone again and lit incense that could help people calm down.
It was almost the hour of Xu when the door of the side hall finally opened.
Qu Li's legs were shaking and he felt extremely tired.
"The operation was a success!"
Hearing this, Emperor Kang and others hurried to go in to see the Queen Mother, but were stopped by Qu Li.
"Could it be that something has happened, and that's why the Divine Doctor doesn't want the Emperor and me to go in and visit the Queen Mother?"
The queen was still as annoying as ever, saying things that deserved a beating and staring at Qu Li with a questioning look.
Changle was so angry that his teeth were grinding.
Why didn’t I realize that the queen was so annoying before?
She retorted without hesitation: "It seems that the Queen really hopes that something unexpected will happen to the Queen Mother!"
The Queen turned her head abruptly and glared at her: "This is the Imperial Palace. You have to know what you can and cannot say. If you don't understand the rules, I don't mind letting Nanny Huang teach you a lesson!"
Qu Li's eyes swept over the two men's faces, and his tone was cold: "Don't worry, Queen! Goudan is outspoken, but he is not blind!"
"What do you mean? Can't I raise the doubts in my heart?"
When Xiao Xian saw Qu Li's eyes, his mind went blank.
These eyes... Qu Li? !
Feeling his gaze, Qu Li felt a little restless for no reason. Her brows were twisted into a knot and her eyes were full of disgust.
Xiao Xian clenched his fingers, his Adam's apple rolling. He suppressed the lump in his throat and said, "Mother, the Empress Dowager just had surgery. Since we have to be in a sterile ward, it's really inappropriate for so many of us to rush in all at once!"
The Queen's face became increasingly ugly, and when she met Emperor Kangdi's warning gaze, she could only suppress all her emotions.
"It's because I'm worried that I'm confused!"
Changle pursed his lips and muttered softly, "Who knows if it's true that caring too much can lead to confusion? Ugly people are more likely to do bad things!"
The eldest princess coughed lightly and glared at her warningly.
Qu Li said to Emperor Kang, "Your Majesty, the operation was a success, and the tumor has been removed! The Queen Mother will wake up early tomorrow morning! I will take care of her personally! Now, please prepare some food for me!"
Emperor Kang nodded and told the palace maids to prepare food.
Changle habitually wanted to take her arm, but Qu Li shook her head and refused.
"Master, how about I help you?"
"You're so impatient, no need!"
She also needs a lot of modern instruments to examine the Empress Dowager. If Changle were here, she would have to take the trouble to explain.
"Why am I so irritable?" Changle pouted in grievance.
Because the operation was successful, although everyone had not seen the Queen Mother yet, the solemn atmosphere had faded.
The imperial doctors waited quietly for Qu Li to finish eating, and then began to anxiously ask questions about the operation.
Qu Li tried his best to answer their questions despite being tired.
Changle noticed that Qu Li's collar was already wet with sweat. Feeling distressed, she shouted, "Even if you ask now, can you guarantee that the operation can be performed? Can't you see that Master is very tired and needs to rest?"
"We are the ones who are anxious!" Imperial Physician Tang clasped his hands together and bowed apologetically.
"nothing."
Qu Li shook his neck, disinfected it again, and entered the side hall.
This night was extremely anxious for everyone.
As dawn approached, the Empress Dowager's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
Everything she saw made her feel dazed.
Where is this?
The pain in her head made her gasp.
Hearing the sound, Qu Li, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, immediately walked to the bed.
"Empress Dowager, are you awake? Can you see?" Qu Li pulled her wrist, took her pulse, and then shook his fingers in front of her eyes.
"Who are you?" The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse.
"doctor!"
"Why does my head hurt so badly?"
"It's natural that it will hurt after the surgery."
The Empress Dowager was a little confused when she heard the word "surgery" for the first time.
"Madame Han!"
"Your Majesty, please take a rest first. I will arrange for the Emperor to come in later!"
The Queen Mother hummed softly and closed her eyes.
Kangdi and the others heard the voice from the side hall and hurriedly asked, "Divine Doctor, has the Queen Mother woken up?"
