Chapter 70: Acupressure and such, it’s fatal!



"Hai Lu was a member of the Xianfei Palace, but because Chi Xie died, there is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing! Although Fugui is also dead, he obviously forgot one thing."

Qu Li raised his eyebrows in high spirits.

"You can also control animals through music."

"So, this is a good opportunity to see who it is!"

Their eyes met, and Qu Li clearly saw the soft light in his eyes. She frowned and looked away.

Xiao Xian pinched his fingers, his eyes burning.

No rush!

He will walk into her heart little by little!

Qu Li asked the guards to send Xiao Lizi to Prince Chen's Mansion first, and she went to the Imperial Garden with Xiao Xian.

The nine-hole flute was placed against his lips, and the music was melodious. Soon, Xiao Xian heard a "hissing" sound.

If he had not been so brave, his expression would have changed when he saw the snakes suddenly swimming towards the imperial garden.

The sound of the flute changed, and a dark-colored snake slowly swam towards Kunning Palace.

Xiao Xian's men followed the snake all the way to Kunning Palace, and their expressions changed drastically.

"I didn't expect it to be the Queen!"

Thinking of how gentle and considerate she was every time she faced the Empress Dowager, Qu Li curled the corners of his mouth with a half-smile.

Xiao Xian remained silent.

"It's impossible to convict the Queen just by relying on a snake!" Qu Li turned his eyes to look at Xiao Xian.

"When I fell off Yuzhu Peak, I knew it was no accident!"

Qu Li was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that he would mention the incident at Yuzhu Peak to him.

"It's true that a snake alone can't reveal her true form, but I believe that you will reap what you sow!"

His eyes were heavy and his handsome face was covered with frost.

"Although we can't expose her true identity now, it should be okay to teach her a lesson, right?"

Qu Li raised his eyebrows, "In this case, you owe me a favor!"

"As long as we don't talk about divorce, I'll agree to anything you ask!"

"Let's talk about it tonight!"

Qu Li didn't want to help Xiao Xian vent his anger.

She is a vengeful person. The Queen used the Red Scorpion to cause trouble. If something really happened to the Queen Mother, she would be the first one to suffer.

However, Xiao Xian clearly misunderstood Qu Li.

Looking at her slender figure walking away, his gaze deepened.

She should be venting her anger on him, right?

Most of the resentment caused by the queen quickly dissipated.

The two returned to the Cining Palace. In order to prevent the queen from causing trouble again, Xiao Xian strengthened the defense of the Cining Palace.

The weather was fine, but by the evening it was covered with dark clouds.

In Kunning Palace, the queen was beating a wooden fish and chanting scriptures with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she heard a "hissing" sound and her eyes suddenly opened.

"ah--"

Screams echoed throughout Kunning Palace.

Nanny Huang rushed into the small Buddhist hall and saw that the queen had actually run to the Buddhist altar, hugging the statue of Guanyin, her face pale and trembling, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Someone come quickly!"

Several eunuchs and palace maids rushed in, and when they saw the snake spitting out its tongue, they were afraid to move forward, as if it had been cast under a spell.

"What are you all doing standing there?" Nanny Huang shouted.

"Madam Huang, is this snake poisonous?" a eunuch asked in a trembling voice.

"Get the snake away quickly!" Nanny Huang grabbed a palace maid and pushed her over.

The palace maid stumbled and fell to the ground.

The snake, fully alert and ready to attack at any moment, bit the maid's arm.

The palace maid was so frightened that she could no longer cry. A eunuch who was skilled in martial arts took a dagger and cut the snake in half.

"Empress, are you okay?" Nanny Huang rushed to the Buddha altar and helped the queen down.

The queen's legs were weak, her lips were trembling, and she collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as paper.

Nanny Huang's eyes were red. "Go find the imperial physician and the emperor!"

The frightened eunuchs and palace maids acted quickly, and soon, the imperial physician and Emperor Kang arrived one after another.

"Your Majesty," Nanny Huang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Someone must be trying to harm the Empress. How could there be a poisonous snake out of nowhere?"

The imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Madame Huang, this snake is not poisonous!"

Matron Huang was stunned for a moment: "How is that possible? The maid was bitten and is still unconscious."

Emperor Kang gave the imperial physician a look, and the imperial physician stepped forward to take the palace maid's pulse.

"Your Majesty, this maid was simply frightened and fainted, she wasn't poisoned!"

"That's impossible!" Nanny Huang pointed at the snake that had been cut in two: "Your Majesty, I recognize this snake. It is indeed a poisonous snake!"

The imperial physician was speechless and rolled his eyes secretly. "Madam Huang, many snakes in this world look very similar. How can you be so sure that this snake is poisonous? I am the imperial physician. Although my medical skills are not as good as Princess Chen's, I can still diagnose whether it is snake venom or not!"

Nanny Huang was speechless.

Emperor Kang said, "That's enough. No one is hurt. Eunuch Fu, have someone get some realgar."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

The queen was so frightened that she started to have a high fever in the middle of the night and kept talking in her delirium.

The imperial physician prescribed medicine for the queen, but there was no improvement at all.

Xiao Xian had been secretly keeping an eye on the situation in Kunning Palace, and a cold arc appeared at the corners of his thin lips.

"I guess the Queen will send someone to invite you." Xiao Xian glanced at Qu Li.

"I'm not going."

She was not stupid. She was merciful by not poisoning the queen with arsenic.

A hint of joy appeared between Xiao Xian's eyebrows and eyes, "Yeah."

Qu Li frowned and said with disdain, "I hold grudges! It's not because of you!"

"I know what I know!"

"Oh! Do those who are blind and heartless really know what's going on?" Qu Li mocked.

Xiao Xian suddenly approached, and a cold aura surrounded her.

"What do you want to do?"

He didn't answer, but kept getting closer.

Qu Li was pushed to the wall by him and wanted to push him away, but he raised his hands, supported her head and gave her a wall-dong.

However, this action not only did not make Qu Li blush or feel nervous, but instead his eyes were filled with disgust.

"Xiao Xian, I want you to understand two things! I hold grudges, and since the Queen has plotted against me, there's no way I'll let her go!"

Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes, his gaze dark and unclear.

"Also, you've hurt me time and time again. I can't possibly be attracted to someone who has hurt me before!"

With a loud "boom", a thunder exploded, and at the same time, Xiao Xian's brain went blank.

Xiao Xian's heart tugged a few times, and he wanted to say something, but his throat felt like it was blocked by a sponge soaked in water.

"sorry!"

This was the second time he apologized to her, but Qu Li remained unmoved.

She said expressionlessly, "Now that I understand, then please, respected King Chen, move aside!"

Xiao Xian froze and didn't move.

The wrinkles between Qu Li's brows deepened.

"You sprayed water all over my face earlier. I feel my eyes have become much clearer recently."

Qu Li seemed to have heard a huge joke and said sarcastically: "My saliva is more useful!"

Xiao Xian's eyes were deep and he hugged her tightly.

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she was about to prick his sleepiness point with a silver needle in her fingers, but he got there first and pressed hers.

Qu Li's aura changed instantly, and he vowed to find someone to learn internal strength from!
