Seeing that Xia Pingan's expression didn't change and he remained silent, everyone in the room turned their gazes to Xia Pingan.
"How is it? How is my body?" King Wu of Qin asked.
Hearing King Wu of Qin's question, Li Li's expression became even more nervous. Xia Pingan saw Li Li's throat move, and he secretly swallowed.
Xia Pingan let go of King Wu of Qin's hand and thought for a moment. He looked around, especially at the copper incense burner with the head of a beast on the table next to King Wu of Qin. He asked directly, "May I know who was the one who was treating and prescribing medicine for my lord?"
"I have been in the palace for many years, and I was the one who treated and prescribed medicine for my lord. My lord has always been well. Do you have a problem with that?" Li Li said directly as he stared at Xia Pingan aggressively. However, if one looked closely, they would see that he was a coward.
'My lord has always been well? Does he have a guilty conscience? '
Xia Pingan had already made up his mind. At this time, he became even more calm. He smiled and cupped his hands towards Li Li. "How should I address you, sir?"
"I am the Great Qin Imperial Physician Li Li!" Li Li said proudly.
"Ah, so it's the famous Lord Li Li. When I first came to the Great Qin, I heard that Lord Li Li's medical skills were outstanding. Now that I have met you, my lord, you are indeed extraordinary!" Xia Pingan said with a smile.
A strange look flashed in Li Li's eyes. He had thought that Xia Pingan would reprimand him, but from Xia Pingan's expression and attitude, it seemed that Xia Pingan did not want to cause trouble for him. Li Li also did not find anything wrong with King Wu of Qin's body. This made Li Li feel slightly relieved. However, Li Li still had a reserved expression and said sarcastically, "Of course, of course. I have been in the palace most of the time and have not been to many places. I am not like you, Bianque, who can travel to many countries and interact with so many commoners. I heard that you were a dormitory leader in the Bohai Prefecture.
Li Li's words sounded like a question on the surface, but in reality, he was belittling Bianque's status.
"I'm learning medicine halfway, so there are still many things that I don't understand. Lord Li Li is knowledgeable in the palace, so I have a question that I'd like to ask. Lord Li Li, can we talk in private?"
Li Li snorted and walked up to Xia Pingan with a proud look. Raising his head, he asked, "What's the problem?"
"May I know why Sir Li Li poisoned the King?" Xia Pingan's words startled everyone in the room.
Li Li's body trembled and almost went limp. "You …"
When Xia Pingan uttered those words, while everyone was still in shock, Xia Pingan had already picked up the copper incense burner on the table. While Li Li was dumbfounded and his body went limp, Xia Pingan exerted all his strength to lift up the copper incense burner that weighed 7-8 jin and heavily smashed it onto Li Li's temple with the handle of the copper incense burner … Translator's Thoughts Liu _ Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Of course, Li Li's head was not as hard as the incense burner.
With a loud thud, Li Li's head was smashed by the copper incense burner in Xia Pingan's hand. Blood spurted out from all seven orifices of Li Li's head and his neck was almost broken. Without a sound, he fell to the ground.
Amidst the sounds of swords being unsheathed, Xia Pingan did not have time to react before a few long swords were placed on his neck. King Wu's bodyguards surrounded Xia Pingan in an instant. They were filled with killing intent as they glared at Xia Pingan. They were waiting for King Wu to give them a look and they would kill Xia Pingan on the ground.
The bronze swords on his neck were so cold that the hair on Xia Pingan's neck stood on end.
Looking at Li Li's head that was splattered on the ground, Xia Pingan threw the incense burner in his hand with a clang and laughed heartily. His body and mind were refreshed. Getting rid of this trash first was indeed satisfying.
The history in the Boundary Bead could indeed be changed!
Even if King Wu ordered his bodyguards to kill him now, he would kill Li Li one step ahead of them and take his revenge. The history would be changed.
Of course, King Wu would not kill him just like that. He would at least ask for the reason.
As for the people behind Li Li, seeing that Li Li died so cleanly and without having the time to betray them, they would be relieved. In order to clear their suspicion, they would not jump out to target him in the future. That would be equivalent to confessing without being pressed.
Therefore, Li Li had to die now. He had to die cleanly without giving him a chance to bite back. Only then would he have a chance to live.
The bodyguard beside him immediately squatted down to check on Li Li's injuries. The bodyguard only touched Li Li's nose and neck before shaking his head at King Wu and retreating to the side.
"Bianque, what are you doing? Why did you kill my Imperial Physician Token?" King Wu was shocked and angry. He suddenly sat up from the bed and asked.
"Your Majesty, when I saw this despicable person who pretended to be a physician but poisoned Your Majesty, I could not help but want to smash his head into pieces!" Xia Pingan calmly said to King Wu.
Hearing Xia Pingan say that he was poisoned again, King Wu's expression changed. "Why did you say that he poisoned me? What kind of poison am I poisoned with?"
"There are two types of poison in Her Majesty's body. One is the poison in her heart, and the other is the poison in her kidney. The poison in Her Majesty's heart can make it difficult for her heart to last. If she is not treated in time, her Majesty's heart will be broken and she will die instantly. The poison in Her Majesty's kidney will cause her to be childless for many years in the harem!"
The poison in the heart aroused King Qin Wu's suspicions. However, Xia Pingan's words of "having no children in the harem" immediately hit the spot that King Qin Wu feared the most.
It was a big taboo for an emperor to be childless as it could shake the foundation of the Great Qin Kingdom. Since he ascended the throne, King Wu's harem was full of beauties. In addition, he was young and strong. Countless concubines and beauties in his harem fought for his favor every day. King Wu did not have a single day of rest at night. However, even so, none of the beauties in his harem were pregnant. This made King Wu wonder if there was something wrong with him.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with my heart. Everyone in the harem knows that I am childless. How can you prove that I am poisoned?"
"Due to being poisoned, His Majesty's heart meridian is always excited and full of anger. Like the wooden bridge on the river, oxcarts carrying heavy items constantly pass by the bridge. In this way, the wooden bridge would definitely not last long. So does His Majesty's heart meridian. It's not that His Majesty doesn't feel that there's something wrong with his heart meridian, but His Majesty doesn't know why he feels it. His Majesty's five guts and five emotions are connected. Therefore, the problem with his heart meridian will be reflected in His Majesty's dreams. Does His Majesty dream a lot at night?
Hearing Xia Pingan talking about his dreams, King Wu finally showed a shocked expression. He wanted to believe that Xia Pingan was right.
King Wu was indeed the emperor of the Qin Kingdom. He had seen a lot. He quickly calmed down and continued to ask, "How can you be sure that it was Li Li who poisoned you?"
"Your Majesty's poison has been deeply rooted for a long time. It was not done by one person at a time. It must have been done over a long period of time by someone who can guide Your Majesty's diet and medicine. As the Imperial Physician, Li Li feels Your Majesty's pulse every day. It is impossible that he did not notice the problem with Your Majesty's heart and kidney. Since he hid it from Your Majesty and everyone else, it can only mean that he is the one who poisoned Your Majesty. Your Majesty, can you recall that Li Li has been preventing other doctors from treating Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty in charge of the medicine that Your Majesty usually takes?"
The expression on King Qin Wu's face finally turned gloomy. His eyes flickered as he waved his hand slightly. The bodyguards who had placed their swords on Xia Pingan's neck immediately withdrew their swords and sabers and retreated.
"Can the poison in my body be removed?"
Xia Pingan finally smiled. "As long as I am alive, I can remove the poison in Your Majesty's body bit by bit and nurse Your Majesty's body back to health. In three months, Your Majesty will have a child!"
"In three months, I will have a child. Are you serious?" King Wu stood up excitedly.
"If Your Majesty still does not have a child in three months, Your Majesty can chop off my head!"
…
Li Li's death brought a storm of blood in Xianyang City, especially in the palace. Those palace maids and eunuchs who were close to Li Li, as well as the Imperial Physicians who were promoted by Li Li, were all killed and exiled by King Wu.
Some of the officials who were close to Li Li were also implicated. They were either transferred or demoted. For a time, the people in Xianyang City were in a state of panic.
Because Li Li did not confess anything when he died, King Wu's purge was limited. The fire did not spread to Empress Dowager Xuan and the others.
Amidst this atmosphere, Xia Pingan was appointed as Great Qin's Imperial Physician by King Wu.
King Wu also sent a group of trusted guards to protect Xia Pingan at all times, in fear that Xia Pingan would be assassinated.
Under Xia Pingan's care, King Wu's body gradually recovered. Finally, three months later, good news came from King Wu's harem: the Queen and two of his concubines were pregnant.
When this news came, the world within the Realm Pearl immediately shattered.
The amount of divine power he had obtained this time was simply too much, and it definitely exceeded the upper limit of the Realm Pearl.
Xia Pingan felt that the amount of divine power he had obtained after fusing with the Realm Pearl had reached a shocking 186 points.
The massive amount of divine power that came from the Realm Pearl instantly drowned Xia Pingan's body. The effects of this divine power were comparable to the changes that happened to one's body when one's divine power reached 210 points.
What was going on?
It seemed that those who broke through the Realm Pearl would receive an additional divine power reward, and this reward was quite impressive.
…
Late at night, in the darkness, outside an apartment building, uninvited guests silently arrived.
In an inconspicuous corner outside the apartment building, the Black Dragon, who had been lying in the shadows like a stray dog, suddenly woke up …
