Chapter 339: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Eighty-Eight)
The north wind was blowing fiercely and the snow was falling. At a glance, the tops of the red walls were covered with a thick layer of snow. The black tiles had lost their black color and the branches were bent down.
Cui Li was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and standing under the eaves. He looked up and saw a wild goose that for some reason did not go to a warm place to spend the winter in advance, but was flying forward in the snow. The lone goose flew over the palace and flew forward neither slowly nor quickly.
Cui Li kept staring at the lone goose until it disappeared into the sky.
"Master, Judge Qiao is here."
Cuiyun walked up to her and spoke softly.
Cui Li nodded, withdrew his gaze from the sky, turned and went into the house.
After a while, Qiao Zhi entered Chengqian Palace.
Qiao Zhi: "Oh, it's snowing so heavily outside. It's not easy to be a doctor!"
Qiao Zhi's tone was lively, completely lacking the maturity and steadiness of other imperial physicians, and even had a bit of unbridled attitude. He stood outside the corridor, shook off the snow on his body, and then handed the umbrella to the medicine boy.
Cuiyun immediately brought out a hot water bottle and hot tea.
Qiao Zhi: "Hello, Imperial Noble Consort. You look good today."
Cui Li: "Thanks to Judge Qiao, your medical skills are superb and you have taken good care of me and the emperor. It's freezing outside. Thank you for your hard work. Come and have a cup of hot tea."
Qiao Zhi: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I would be very sorry to refuse your offer."
Qiao Zhi squinted his eyes, enjoying the warmth in the room. Not far away, the beautiful woman sat with a smile on her face.
The two chatted from time to time, and after Qiao Zhi took Cui Li's pulse, he adjusted the pregnancy-maintaining medicine for her.
Qiao Zhi: "Don't worry, Madam. This pregnancy-maintaining medicine is not bitter, but it has a slightly sour taste."
Cui Li smiled and thanked him for taking into account the taste without affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
Qiao Zhi waved his hands and complained a few words.
Qiao Zhi: "I just went to see a doctor, but was veiled in slander. They said my medicine was bitter and unpalatable, ten times more bitter than coptis root. They also suggested that I should not push my luck and seek revenge."
Thinking of those remarks, Qiao Zhi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Treat it if you want, or wait for death if you don’t! Don’t you know that good medicine tastes bitter?
And bargained with him!
Cui Li smiled but said nothing, and did not agree. Who could Qiao Zhi treat? Isn't it just the one in Kunning Palace?
Cui Li: "Isn't Li Yuanzheng in charge of the Queen's illness? Why did Qiao Yuanpan go to Kunning Palace?"
Qiao Zhi nodded. The old man Li Yuanpan was indeed responsible for curing the queen's heart-wrenching poison, but the queen was not simply poisoned.
Qiao Zhi: "This person should not be so arrogant and domineering. He is too high-minded and cannot see clearly what is happening below. Look, he is surrounded by wolves and yet he is still entangled in trivial matters."
Qiao Zhi sighed, glanced at the hall where no palace servants were, and handed a note to Cui Li.
Qiao Zhi: "Someone asked me to give it to you. I have to say, success or failure depends on this fate. As expected, it is better to avoid making things out of nothing, otherwise those who covet the treasure will secretly oppress you."
Cui Li glanced at the four words on the note, her eyebrows raised slightly, "Born to be a phoenix! Is this true?"
Create something out of nothing?
That's fake!
Cui Li: "How is she now? Does she know about her condition?"
Qiao Zhi: "She's currently unaware of the evil spell she's been under. It's a spell that robs her of her life force. I've temporarily put the poisonous insect that acts as the medium into hibernation, but to cure it completely, we have to find the mastermind behind it and destroy the mother insect. If that person has an altar, that needs to be destroyed as well. The excruciating poison is almost over. As long as the spell doesn't continue, her life won't be in danger for another two or three years."
He paused, then continued.
Qiao Zhi: "I heard that witchcraft is prevalent in Ji State. The Ji State royal family once respected the witch clan, but the witches have long disappeared. I heard that a thousand years ago, a witch was born and even had the ability to change fate. Your Majesty, please be careful on a daily basis. Blood is especially important, especially heart blood. It must not be taken away by anyone."
