Bai Fengyao's heart sank to the bottom.
She had thought about it over and over again, but she had never imagined that something so long ago would be brought to light.
"Bai Fengyao, why don't you speak?"
There was disgust in the Empress Dowager's eyes and her tone was full of impatience.
"Empress Dowager, I..."
"The person who saved Ah Xian back then wasn't you at all!"
Bai Fengyao shuddered violently and her lips were bitten.
"Bai Fengyao, you are so brave!"
The Empress Dowager shouted harshly, and she felt the taut string in her head snap with a clang.
Seeing this, Qu Li, who had been standing behind the screen, hurried out.
Xiao Xian asked urgently, "Is the Imperial Grandmother okay?"
Seeing them, Bai Fengyao sat down on the ground with her whole body limp.
Xiao Xian said in a sharp tone: "Get out!"
Qu Li said coldly: "Take your sweetheart with you and go out together!"
The air seemed to condense.
Xiao Xian really wanted to explain that the reason why Bai Fengyao became the apple of his eye was simply because she had saved him.
Now he knew that she was an imposter, and Bai Fengyao had evil intentions, so she didn't deserve his favor at all!
However, seeing Qu Li examining the Empress Dowager with a serious look on his face, at such a critical moment, he was afraid that the more he explained, the more disgusted she would be, so he simply pulled Bai Fengyao's arm without gentleness and took her out of the bedroom.
Qu Li flashed into the space, took out a pocket portable CT machine, and took a brain CT scan for the Empress Dowager.
A blood vessel in the brain may burst, and there is a possibility of a stroke.
Qu Li blamed himself.
She knew very well that the Empress Dowager was in such a state that she hated getting angry, so why couldn't she just be patient?
Outside the door, Emperor Kang and others were staring at the bedroom with anxious faces, and Nanny Han clasped her hands together and prayed silently for the Empress Dowager.
Changle grabbed Bai Fengyao's collar and slapped her pitiful face left and right.
"Bai Fengyao, if anything happens to the Queen Mother, I will skin you alive and tear out your tendons!"
Bai Fengyao trembled even more violently, her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and she had no idea when they were broken.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hide it!"
"Bai Fengyao!" Changle's eyes turned red with anger, and a strong murderous intent enveloped his entire body. "Shut up! Bitch!"
Bai Fengyao choked on her breath and huddled in a corner, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Inside the bedroom, Qu Li's expression was unusually solemn.
If the bleeding in the Empress Dowager's brain is not stopped quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If we move from the bedroom to the side hall, not to mention whether it will waste time, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems during the transportation process.
She frowned and pondered for a moment, then decided to stop the bleeding for the Empress Dowager in the bedroom.
Holding the silver needle, he inserted it into several major acupuncture points on the Empress Dowager's head steadily, accurately and quickly, stopping the bleeding, and then performed a second suture.
On the other side, when the queen learned what happened in the Cining Palace, the corners of her mouth curled up sinisterly.
"Madame Huang, please be careful not to implicate me!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Nanny Huang bowed and retreated.
Soon, the sound of a flute reached my ears.
Kangdi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Eunuch Fu, go see who is playing the flute!"
The Empress Dowager is in danger, and someone is still playing the flute. It's simply too much.
Eunuch Fu immediately arranged for people to follow the sound.
Everyone in the Cining Palace focused their attention on the bedroom and did not notice that several red scorpions were slowly crawling along the wall towards the window.
The scorpion raised its tail, pierced the window paper, and crawled in silently.
Qu Li stretched and cut the catgut.
He took the Empress Dowager's wrist and took her pulse.
The Empress Dowager's pulse was calm, and Qu Li's tense nerves finally relaxed.
She was about to go out and tell Kangdi when she suddenly caught a glimpse of several red poisonous scorpions out of the corner of her eye, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
This palace is really filthy!
When she heard the flute sound again, a hint of murderous intent flashed across her eyes!
He took out a nine-hole flute from the space and placed it against his lips.
The sound of the flute was so ethereal that it completely suppressed the sound of the pipe.
The scorpion, which was approaching the Empress Dowager's bed, stopped when it heard the sound of the flute.
Qu Li raised the corner of his eyebrow and changed the sound of his flute. The scorpions turned around, lined up, and with their tails raised, they marched in an orderly manner along the previous direction and out of the window like soldiers on parade.
Xiao Xian and others were puzzled as to why Qu Li suddenly played the nine-hole flute. Just as they were about to ask, his ears moved slightly and his figure flashed to the rear window like a ghost.
"Father!"
Kangdi and others came to the rear window and saw the Red Scorpion, and their faces changed.
"That flute sound is controlling the poisonous scorpion! So vicious!" Changle clenched his fists. "Let me find out who wants to harm the Queen Mother. I will kill him!"
Xiao Xian's face turned pale as he followed Duxie and left the Cining Palace.
When the flute music stopped, Qu Li naturally stopped playing the nine-hole flute.
Soon, Xiao Xian came to the Cining Palace carrying a eunuch.
At this time, Qu Li had already told Emperor Kang about the Empress Dowager's situation in detail.
Xiao Xian threw the eunuch to the ground and said coldly, "Eunuch Fu, do you know which palace this person is from?"
Eunuch Fu stepped forward and turned the eunuch over.
The eunuch was stung by the red scorpion and the poison had taken effect. His face turned black and blue, his pupils bulged, and his death was horrific.
"This, this is the eunuch from Concubine Xian's palace, his name is Hai Lu!"
Emperor Kang exuded a cold and murderous aura. "Follow me to Huining Palace."
Changle insisted on going with them no matter what.
When Concubine Xian heard that Emperor Kang was coming, she went out to greet him with great fear and trepidation.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Xianfei, where is Hailu in your palace?"
The virtuous concubine looked bewildered. "Hai Lu just had a sudden stomachache, so I let him go and rest first!"
Emperor Kang fixed his sharp gaze on Concubine Xian, "Sudden abdominal pain?"
The wrinkles between Concubine Xian's brows deepened. "Your Majesty, is there a problem?"
"Ah Xian!"
Xiao Xian threw Hai Lu in front of Concubine Xian.
When Concubine Xian saw the hideous face, she screamed and all the blood drained away from her face.
"Your Majesty, how could Hai Lu die?"
Changle sneered, "Your Majesty the Virtuous Consort's acting skills are truly superb. Do you deserve the title 'Virtuously Consort'?"
Concubine Xian was terrified. "Your Majesty, what does Princess Changle mean by this? I don't understand! Also, Hai Lu looked like he was poisoned. Who did it?"
Emperor Kang hummed again, "Hai Lu just used the sound of his flute to control the Red Scorpion, intending to murder my mother!"
The virtuous concubine swayed, her legs softened, and she knelt down directly: "I didn't know! Hai Lu is usually loyal, and no one has ever known that he can play the flute!"
"Are you planning to deny it, Concubine Xian?"
The virtuous concubine looked up and met Emperor Kangdi's eyes, which were as cold as a chilly winter. A huge chill quickly surrounded her.
"Your Majesty is very perceptive!" Xianfei burst into tears, "I have absolutely done nothing to harm the Empress Dowager!"
