Eunuch Fu walked in quickly, sensing that something was amiss in the atmosphere. He frowned, bowed, and said, "Princess Chen, the Emperor has a severe headache. Please go and see him!"
"Eunuch Fu, the emperor has ordered me to be confined to Laiyi Palace. How can I disobey his order?"
"Princess?" Eunuch Fu looked shocked.
Obviously, in all the years he has been in the harem, he has never seen anyone like Qu Li who can pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth so well.
"The Emperor invites you over, naturally to release you from your house arrest!"
When Eunuch Fu saw Qu Li's deep and cold eyes, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Can Eunuch Fu be the emperor's master?"
"this……"
"Although I know the Emperor isn't one to change his mind overnight, but as they say, serving the Emperor is like serving a tiger, I must always find some protection for myself! If the Emperor punishes me, I won't be able to explain myself!"
Eunuch Fu had been in the palace for so many years and had become a shrewd man. Seeing this, he knew that Qu Li would never leave the ceremonial hall unless he took out some token, so he had no choice but to return to the imperial study.
Kangdi had a headache as if it was being pricked by needles. When he heard footsteps, he frowned and looked over.
"Where is she?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Chen said that you have confined her to Laiyi Palace. Without an imperial decree, and relying solely on the instructions of this old servant, she dares not set foot outside the palace."
"Bang--"
Kangdi slammed the table hard, "This Qu Li is really audacious!"
Eunuch Fu endured the emperor's wrath and remained silent with his head bowed.
Another wave of pain came over him, and Emperor Kang felt the pain and fell into the dragon throne with distorted features.
"Your Majesty, I will summon the imperial physician!" Eunuch Fu hurriedly called Xiao Dengzi over, "Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
Emperor Kang waved his hand and said, "It's useless. Take my jade pendant and go to Laiyi Palace."
Eunuch Fu nodded, picked up the jade pendant, and went back to Laiyi Hall.
Seeing the jade pendant, Qu Li straightened the wrinkles on her dress and followed him out of the ceremonial hall in a graceful manner, carrying a food box in her hand.
"Princess Chen, what is this?" Eunuch Fu's eyes were full of suspicion.
"You'll know when you go to the imperial study!" Qu Li said indifferently.
Eunuch Fu said nothing more, and they all went into the imperial study together.
"Qu Li, you're so arrogant!"
Tormented by a headache, Kangdi was furious like a trapped beast, his eyes bloodshot.
Qu Li put down the food box and said to Fu Li: "Qu Li greets the emperor, may the emperor be well!"
Kangdi's expression grew even darker, his gaze as sharp and cold as an arrow. "Do you think I look well?"
"Of course it doesn't look good. After all, the emperor is suffering from a chronic poison."
"What's the matter with your lunch box?" asked Kangdi.
"It's really quite ridiculous to say that." Qu Li's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm. "After the Queen Mother's surgery, people repeatedly tried to harm her! And then, after finally capturing Fugui, he died of snake venom!"
Emperor Kang's face was extremely ugly, and the air pressure in the entire imperial study was getting lower and lower.
"After that, the emperor was poisoned, and now it's Qu Li's turn."
"You said someone poisoned you?!"
Kangdi stood up in vain, anger surging in his scarlet eyes.
"However, Qu Li has one thing he doesn't understand!"
The moment Qu Li opened his mouth, Xiao Xian's heart began to lift. He looked at the woman beside him, who had no fear on her face at all, but deep admiration in his eyes.
"Speak!" Kangdi raised his voice.
"Qu Li is an excellent doctor. It is said that medicine and poison are inseparable. People who understand medicine generally also understand some toxicology."
Kangdi narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp.
"Since you knew I might discover the Seven Days Powder, why did you poison me? What was the intention of the person behind this poisoning?"
When Qu Li first learned that someone had poisoned her, she felt only anger. Later, after she calmed down and thought about it, she became quite curious about the intentions of the person behind the poisoning.
Obviously, Xiao Xian didn't think about these things.
His mind has been full of Qu Li recently. It seems that he has lost his accurate judgment because of her and is becoming more and more like a waste.
"Since you've told me this, I think you already have some ideas in mind! So, what do you think the other party is thinking?"
"If Qu Li hadn't discovered it, he would have been poisoned and the effects would have taken effect in seven days! If he had been discovered, there would have been a thorough investigation! But this food box was taken from the small kitchen of the Cining Palace."
The wrinkles between Kangdi's brows deepened, and the temperature of his body plummeted.
He had never imagined that someone would repeatedly plot against the Empress Dowager.
It's so abominable!
After adjusting his breathing, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying that the person behind this is trying to sow discord between you and your mother?"
"That's not the case!"
"What is that?"
Kangdi had temporarily forgotten his headache and followed Qu Li's thoughts, thinking: "The other party must think that you will be a helper to Ah Xian, so they want to get rid of you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xian knelt down and said, "Father, I have already said that I am not interested in that position!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are interested or not. What matters is that the other party thinks you are interested!" Qu Li smiled and raised his eyebrows sarcastically.
Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been extremely brutal, and no one can stay out of it.
Success, glory and wealth!
If you lose, your body will be buried in the bones!
Xiao Xian pinched his fingers and said, "If that's the case, then I'll just do as they wish and fight them!"
He looked at the virtuous and kind woman, but what he thought in his heart was that if he sat in that position, she would be the mother of a country and would definitely not think of divorce again!
Qu Li naturally didn't know that Xiao Xian had thought so much in his mind in such a short time.
Emperor Kang pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think the person who poisoned me is the same person who poisoned you?"
"Your Majesty has already made up his mind, hasn't he?" Qu Li asked instead of answering.
"Hahaha!" Kangdi finally smiled after a long period of gloomy face. "Qu Li, no wonder the person behind the poison wanted to get rid of you!"
Having such an intelligent woman by Ah Xian's side is like adding wings to a tiger.
"The Emperor's poison is indeed difficult to deal with. Since the Emperor refused to agree to Qu Li's previous suggestion, how about asking Qu Li to change it?"
The smile on Kangdi's face disappeared, "Qu Li, do you know how audacious you are?"
"But Qu Li has this ability. Otherwise, so many imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital should have helped the emperor detoxify long ago, right?" Qu Li always had a calm and peaceful smile on his face.
Xiao Xian was nervous, fearing that Qu Li would ask to separate from him.
Therefore, he took the initiative and clasped his hands together, saying, "Father, Li'er is not someone who doesn't understand things. Please listen to what she has asked for."
The implication is that if her request is too extreme, you can simply refuse it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Qu Li's almond-shaped eyes that were full of mockery. He moved his lips twice and looked away.
"Your Majesty, Qu Li cherishes this head on his neck very much."
Kangdi's eyes were deep, "Tell me about it!"
