"Respected King Chen, in this world, nothing is truly what you say! Nor can anything be forgiven simply by saying so! You've strangled me, injured me, and treated me with all sorts of humiliation and indifference. It's simply too numerous to list!"
The mocking tone, cold eyes, and the attitude that kept people at a distance all made Xiao Xian feel frustrated.
He moved his lips twice. It was obvious that he was eloquent and good at debate. In Shangshuyuan, he was always the winner whenever there was a debate topic.
But at this moment, facing Qu Li, his throat seemed to be blocked by a sponge soaked in water, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Qu Li didn't even look at him, but just lowered his head and ate slowly.
Her marriage to Xiao Xian was originally arranged by the Empress Dowager, so naturally it could only be dissolved by the Empress Dowager.
But will the Queen Mother dissolve their marriage just because she cured her?
It was unusually quiet in the side hall.
Qu Li ate quietly while Xiao Xian stared at her without blinking.
After a few moments of silence, Xiao Xian finally got up and left.
Qu Li entered the space, took a bath with the spiritual spring water, and felt refreshed.
She took some time to sort out the key points in the book "Surgery", walked out of the side hall, and communicated with a group of imperial doctors.
He was already a skilled doctor, so even though it was his first time to learn about surgery, he wasn't too surprised.
Especially Imperial Physician Tang, he was so obsessed with medicine that he even delayed getting married and having children. Now he is still single at his old age.
Seeing that Qu Li was such an excellent medical skill, beautiful and kind-hearted little girl, he naturally liked her very much.
While these imperial doctors were discussing the relevant knowledge about the operation, Qu Li, holding a teacup in his hand, was secretly observing the expressions and reactions of all of them.
Although the imperial doctors were all very interested, surgery required more than just interest; it also required courage.
Like the previous Imperial Physician Liu, he was even trembling with fear when giving acupuncture to the Empress Dowager, so naturally he couldn't hold the scalpel steadily.
Imperial Physician Tang asked, "Princess, we can usually find some small animals like rabbits to practice with, but we can't always find lively animals and deliberately injure them for surgical practice, right?"
"If you want stitches, you can find pig skin!"
Everyone was stunned.
Qu Li smiled: "Practice with the skin is also possible!"
After saying that, she asked Nanny Han to help her find a piece of skin, and then she rolled up her sleeves and demonstrated how to sew in front of everyone.
Her fingers were slender, and she used tweezers to hold the thin surgical needle and sewed it one stitch at a time. Not only did it not feel bloody, but there was a kind of quiet beauty.
"It's done!" Qu Li raised his eyes. "The length and depth of the wound usually determine the number of stitches needed! Also, if you don't want scars, you can get cosmetic stitches."
After that, she demonstrated how to sew the beauty needle.
Imperial Physician Tang examined the patient particularly carefully.
Xiao Xian stood in the corridor, his eyes fixed on Qu Li, his heart beating irregularly.
The entire stitching teaching lasted nearly half an hour, and Imperial Physician Tang was the first to practice.
After Qu Li's guidance, the trembling of his hand holding the needle became less severe.
Nanny Han: "Princess, the Queen Mother has woken up and wants to see you!"
Qu Li nodded, signaling the other imperial doctors to practice on their own. After washing their hands, he and Nanny Han entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom together.
"Qu Li pays homage to the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at her with scrutiny.
"Girl, you always give me surprises every time I see you."
Qu Li just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
"If it weren't for you this time, I would have become a blind man!"
"The Empress Dowager is of noble status and is blessed by heaven!"
"Is your mouth smeared with honey?!" The Queen Mother said angrily, "You are so outstanding, why do you do such jaw-dropping things that make people gossip about you behind your back?"
Qu Li did not speak.
The original owner was indeed spoiled by Fang. If Xiao Xian had not strangled the original owner to death, she would not have been able to travel here!
The Queen Mother shook her head and changed the subject.
"You have done me a great service in treating me this time. I always reward people according to their merits. Is there anything you would like?"
Qu Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly knelt down.
The Empress Dowager's eyebrows twitched, and Nanny Han hurriedly helped her up.
"Princess Chen, the Queen Mother has always been kind and compassionate. You cured her, and the Queen Mother is still thinking about it! You are putting the Queen Mother in a difficult position by doing this!"
Nanny Han was an old lady who served the Empress Dowager and had stayed in the deep palace for so many years. Naturally, she guessed that once Qu Li knelt and spoke, his request would be one that would embarrass the Empress Dowager.
Qu Li stubbornly refused to get up.
The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Madame Han, don't worry about it. Get out first!"
When the Empress Dowager and Qu Li were the only ones left in the bedroom, the Empress Dowager asked, "Is it related to Ah Xian?"
Qu Liwei was stunned.
She is worthy of being a woman with a respected status in the harem. Her eyes and her mind are really incomparable to ordinary people.
"yes!"
The Empress Dowager motioned for her to sit over. Qu Li hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and sat down gracefully beside the bed.
"Is it related to Bai Fengyao?"
Qu Li nodded: "Empress Dowager..."
"Since you are Ah Xian's principal wife, and Ah Xian calls me the Imperial Grandmother, shouldn't you also call me the Imperial Grandmother?"
Facing the Empress Dowager's sharp eyes that seemed to see through her, Qu Li's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
"Royal Grandmother."
The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth curled up. "Ah Xian treats Bai Fengyao so well, and even marries her as his principal wife. It's really unreasonable! However, Bai Fengyao saved A Xian after all, and A Xian also promised to make her his principal wife."
Qu Li's thoughts drifted away.
If the original owner had not appeared in disheveled clothes in the side hall where Xiao Xian was changing clothes, Bai Fengyao would have been the principal wife of Prince Chen!
If she were Bai Fengyao, she would definitely feel resentment and target others frequently.
"When Ah Xian fell off Yuzhu Peak, luckily Bai Fengyao went there to collect herbs and saved Ah Xian!"
Yuzhu Peak?
Some unfamiliar images suddenly flashed through Qu Li's mind.
The little boy's body was covered with wounds, especially on his calves, where broken bones pierced his flesh and caused him to bleed profusely.
The girl saw the boy from afar, her face turned pale and she ran up to him quickly.
The boy's eyes were unfocused and his expression was fierce, like a wolf, and he pushed the girl to the ground.
The girl's elbow was cut by a sharp stone, and blood quickly dyed her sleeve red.
She was obviously very scared, but regardless of the pain, she went forward to comfort the furious boy.
Finally, the boy let down his guard and let the girl bandage his wound.
The girl supported the boy, and after three days, the two little people finally returned to the foot of Yuzhu Peak...
She touched her elbow and saw an ugly scar that looked like a centipede!
A surge of anger surged in Qu Li's chest.
Bai Fengyao is an imposter. What a shameless thief she is!
"Empress Dowager, how do you know that it must be Bai Fengyao who saved him?"
