This person...
It’s really annoying!
A hint of hostility flashed across Qu Li's eyes.
She would rather Xiao Xian treated her as coldly as before. The way he was now really made her feel uncomfortable.
"There are gods to help!"
Space is the cheating tool given to her by God!
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Seeing that she was about to leave, he grabbed her arm.
Qu Li didn't blink for a moment, looking at him with a serious look, "What's wrong with you? When you're happy, you're just me, me, me. When you're angry, you're just this king, this king!"
"There are no secrets between husband and wife."
"You're really sick, seriously sick! In my eyes, you're just a scumbag who can be kicked anywhere and at any time! I told you, I have the help of the gods, believe it or not!"
Qu Li's eyes were full of disgust.
Xiao Xian's face looked grim and he looked lonely.
Nanny Gong happened to hear their conversation, her face was horrified, and she hurriedly reported to the Empress Dowager.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager also looked solemn.
"Ah Xian did something outrageous before, but my husband is my God. How could Qu Li say that about him?"
Nanny Han advised: "Princess Chen is a person of strong principles!"
"Qu Li saved Ah Xian back then, and he could have explained everything clearly. Ah Xian isn't some clueless idiot. It was Qu Li who kept it a secret until now, allowing Bai Fengyao to take advantage of the situation! How can you blame Ah Xian for everything that happened between the two of them?"
Nanny Gong helped the Empress Dowager soothe her chest and calm her down.
"Empress Dowager, please don't get angry!"
The Queen Mother took several deep breaths before slowly calming down the anger in her heart.
She pondered for a moment, called Nanny Gong, and whispered in her ear.
Nanny Gong's brows suddenly frowned, then relaxed, which made Nanny Han's heart beat faster and faster.
"Empress Dowager, is this okay? Princess Chen is a very skilled doctor after all. What if..."
"The secret medicine of the palace, colorless and tasteless."
"This..." Nanny Gong looked worried.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Alright, just do as I say!"
On the other side, after Emperor Kang entered the Laiyi Hall, he only left Eunuch Fu guarding outside.
He came to the portrait as usual.
At this moment, the fierce aura of a superior being completely dissipated from him, and even his eyes became gentle.
"Rong'er!"
He took down the portrait and carefully stroked the woman's face with his fingers.
"I feel so tired!"
Closing his eyes tightly, Kangdi's mouth curled up into a bitter arc: "If you were still here, I could hear your piano playing! Ah Xian's piano skills are very good, he has inherited your true teachings!"
The wooden house was quiet and only the emperor's chattering could be heard.
suddenly--
When Kangdi's eyes fell on a part of the painting, his expression changed instantly.
"Eunuch Fu!"
Eunuch Fu sensed that the atmosphere was not right and slid in. "What does the Emperor want?"
"I missed Rong'er so much that I accidentally spilled the tea. I made amends later. Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember it." Eunuch Fu glanced at the portrait.
This painting is even more lifelike than the previous one, but it is not the same one that Conti painted before.
Kangdi put the portrait down and tightened his hands under his sleeves little by little.
Someone reported that Changle had trespassed into the Yidian Hall, but it was discovered that Changle had left the palace midway.
If Ah Xian was lying, then with his ability, he could indeed forge a certificate of leaving the palace in the shortest time possible.
As for Ah Xian, his martial arts skills were very advanced, and he could easily avoid the nearby secret guards and leave smoothly.
As for Qu Li, she never set foot in Laiyi Hall, so who painted this picture?
Kangdi had a splitting headache and still hadn't sorted everything out, so he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"Your Majesty, would you like to summon the imperial physician for you?"
"Let Qu Li come over!"
"yes!"
Qu Li was preparing medicinal herbs for the Empress Dowager's next treatment. When he heard Emperor Kang summon him, he frowned.
Xiao Xian wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Eunuch Fu.
Qu Li followed Eunuch Fu all the way to Laiyi Palace. Although his appearance was calm, his heart was actually already in turmoil.
"Qu Li pays homage to the Emperor."
"I have a terrible headache, can you help me take a look?"
Qu Li looked calmly at Kangdi, who was obviously suppressing his anger, then glanced at the painting and walked forward slowly.
"Aren't you curious about who the woman in the painting is?"
"Laiyi Palace is the residence of Concubine Rong. Qu Li knows the rules of survival in the imperial palace very well. Ask what you should ask and don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
"You're quite clever!"
Qu Li did not respond, but carefully took Kangdi's pulse.
Her originally calm expression suddenly changed.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly asked, "Princess Chen, is the Emperor ill?"
Qu Li gestured for Kangdi to extend his other hand.
The atmosphere became more solemn.
Qu Li asked Emperor Kang a few questions, then thought carefully for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, you have been suffering from a chronic poison for almost half a year."
Eunuch Fu knelt down in shock, "Your Majesty, this old servant is loyal to me, this old servant..."
Kangdi was calm. He frowned and said, "You get up first."
Eunuch Fu stood up, his heart in his throat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Is there a solution?" asked Kangdi.
Although this chronic poison is not easy to cure, she has space and spiritual spring water, so it is not particularly troublesome.
But since she wanted to divorce Xiao Xian, it was naturally impossible for her to tell the truth.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Emperor Kang already had an idea in his mind.
"Very tricky?"
Qu Li stood up and bowed solemnly.
"What are you doing?" Emperor Kang gave Eunuch Fu a look, indicating that he should help Qu Li up.
"Your Majesty, Qu Li wants to say a few words to you alone!"
Emperor Kang waved his hand and Eunuch Fu retreated.
"Speak!"
"It is said that emperors are ruthless. Once they fall in love, either they themselves will be hurt or the woman they love will be hurt."
The temperature dropped suddenly, and the cramped atmosphere enveloped Qu Li like a dense net.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of Qu Li's nose, but he still knelt straight.
"Qu Li was forced to marry Prince Chen!"
"How dare you!" Emperor Kang said in a stern voice, "Do you know that Ah Xian is my most beloved son? You should also know what happened between me and Rong'er! You actually said such words in Laiyi Hall, in this wooden house, in front of Rong'er!"
"Your Majesty, since it was a mistake from the beginning, why do you keep making the same mistake again and again?" Qu Li raised his eyes.
There was no fear in those black and white eyes, only determination.
"Are you trying to use this to make a condition to me, to allow you and Ah Xian to divorce?"
This is really a daring woman!
"Your Majesty, Qu Li doesn't want to negotiate any terms with you! He just wants to express his thoughts!"
"Do you know what Ah Xian said to me before?"
"Qu Li doesn't want to know!"
The air pressure was getting lower and lower, and Emperor Kang shouted sternly: "Qu Li, do you think I won't punish you?"
