The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Yan Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, let's put aside the past grudges for now. If your body is not effectively treated, I'm afraid there is no way to save it." Although she was unwilling to treat the empress dowager, she had no choice but to agree to it in order to stop Qu Xinzhu's mission.

The Queen Mother, however, had a look of disdain on her face and was about to chase the man away. But before she could finish her words, her headache suddenly intensified, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word and could only gasp for air.

At this moment, Yan Wanyu came in with a steaming hot medicine. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in great pain and looked panicked, she hurriedly advised: "Aunt, your illness is the most important. Let him take a look at you first. Maybe he can cure you."

"Child, your aunt is doing this for you." The Queen Mother's facial features were distorted with pain and she cried out "Ouch, ouch" again.

Yan Wanyu was extremely anxious, her eyes were red, and she begged in a crying voice: "Aunt, even if Wanyu begs you, please try."

The queen mother was almost torn apart by the headache, and seeing her beloved niece begging so hard, her heart softened and she reluctantly stretched out her hand, not forgetting to swear fiercely: "If you can't cure my disease, I don't care that the prime minister is standing behind you, I will punish you severely."

The old emperor was humiliated in public, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He took a few steps back with a sullen face and said in a muffled voice: "Yan Qing, start the treatment. If you can't cure it, I will forgive you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qu Qingyan bowed slightly and walked forward steadily.

The Queen Mother was extremely displeased when she heard the old emperor's words. Just as she was about to yell angrily, she caught a glimpse of the young man taking out a bunch of silver needles from nowhere like magic. The silver needles flashed a cold light under the light. Her scalp suddenly went numb and she shouted in horror, "What are you going to do to me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will insert acupuncture into your acupuncture points right now to help you relieve the pain." Qu Qingyan's eyes were calm, and the silver needle in his hand reflected a silver-white cold light in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother's fear instantly spread like a tide, and she screamed fiercely, "How dare you! How dare you disrespect me, I..."

Before she finished her words, a silver needle had been inserted accurately into the top of her head. Suddenly, the pain that had tortured her for a long time quickly dissipated like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, and was replaced by a long-lost sense of comfort. The queen mother widened her eyes, her face full of shock, and her mouth slightly opened.

Seeing the pain on the empress dowager's face gradually disappear, replaced by a bit of surprise and relief, Yan Wanyu hurried forward, eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "Aunt, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Well... much better." The Queen Mother was slightly startled, raised her hand and gently stroked her forehead, a trace of unnaturalness that was difficult to conceal appeared on her face, and her eyes quickly swept over Qu Qingyan. She was really a little surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that Yan Qingyan really had some skills, but when she thought of the person behind him, it seemed that everything had an answer, and the retainers under that person naturally learned some skills.

Qu Qingyan was an expert doctor. For her, treating the empress dowager's chronic illness was as easy as taking something out of her bag. Sure enough, she completed the acupuncture treatment for the empress dowager in a short time. Then, she calmly ordered the palace maid to prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write the prescription.

"I will first use silver needles to clear the Empress Dowager's meridians and relieve pain, and at the same time expel some of the coldness accumulated in the body. But the Empress Dowager's headache problem has been around for a long time, and she needs to continue drinking decoctions for several days. Only by taking a two-pronged approach can the root of the disease be completely eradicated." Qu Qingyan explained in a soft voice while handing the prescription to the palace maid waiting beside him.

The Queen Mother witnessed the young man's exquisite medical skills with her own eyes, and the disgust and resistance in her heart disappeared immediately, and she stopped saying hurtful things. She straightened her back slightly, coughed twice, and said with a bit of discomfort in her expression: "I always keep my word. Since you have helped me solve this headache, if you have any wishes, you can speak up and I will definitely consider it."

Although the Queen Mother's tone at this moment still carried the royal reserve, there was clearly a bit more recognition and gratitude in her eyes, which was completely different from her previous look of disdain towards Qu Qingyan.

The old emperor was also very surprised. He had not expected Qu Qingyan to have such superb medical skills. His eyes moved between the empress dowager and Qu Qingyan, and he said, "Yan Qing, since the empress dowager has spoken, you can ask for anything you want."

"Your Highness, I have nothing to ask for. I came here just to share your worries." Qu Qingyan had no worries about food and clothing, and he only thought about his past life's revenge and a peaceful life with his father. But the Queen Mother was obviously powerless to do this, so it would be better to let the Queen Mother owe him this "debt" and do a favor.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face instantly darkened, showing dissatisfaction, and she said unhappily: "I gave you this with good intentions, but you are so ungrateful. Well, seeing that you are so young, you must not be married yet, so I will be a good person and arrange a marriage for you, with a noble lady from an aristocratic family, so that you can start a family and build a career as soon as possible..."

Before she could finish her words, the old emperor stopped her and said, "Mother, Yan Qing is Qu Aiqing's man. His marriage should be decided by Qu Aiqing. You don't need to worry about it."

The old emperor spoke back and the empress dowager glared at him.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, it's getting late and the palace gates are about to close. If I don't return soon, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of inconvenience. I'll take my leave now." At this tense moment, Qu Qingyan bowed and was about to leave.

Today's mission to stop Qu Xinzhu has been accomplished, and she doesn't want to stay any longer and cause trouble.

When the Queen Mother saw this, her face became even uglier.

The old emperor waved his hand: "Go back."

After getting permission, Qu Qingyan turned around steadily and left quickly.

Sima Zheng also stepped back and immediately followed, fleeing together from this turbulent palace.

"Since my mother is fine, I will return to the palace to handle state affairs." The old emperor said this and turned around and left without waiting for the empress dowager to respond.

Behind him, a group of servants and palace maids knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Farewell to the Emperor." The sound echoed in the palace, making it densely packed.

Seeing the emperor leave so abruptly, the empress dowager was so angry that she trembled all over. She raised her hand and slammed the edge of the bed, shouting, "How dare you! How dare you! That Yan Qing is so ignorant that he dared to refuse my reward. Humph, it's true that the master is like the subordinate, and they are equally arrogant!"

When Yan Wanyu heard the Queen Mother mention "that person", she paused for a moment, then came to her senses and quickly comforted her: "Aunt, you have just recovered, please don't get angry again. As for Yan Qing, after meeting him a few times, I think he is just like this, a little arrogant because of his talent, aunt, there is no need to get angry with him. Besides, if it weren't for his miraculous healing today, you don't know how long this old headache would have tormented you."

After hearing these words, the Queen Mother's anger gradually disappeared from her face, and her mood improved a lot. She nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Although Yan Qing has the same temper as his master, he is a real talent after all. I can recover from this illness thanks to him.

Aunt, please rest for a while. When the medicine is ready, Wanyu will come to help you take it." Yan Wanyu said softly, while gently helping the empress dowager to lie down slowly, and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

The Queen Mother lay on her side on the couch, looking up at her niece who was taking care of her attentively. A loving and gratified smile gradually appeared on her face, and she said in a gentle voice: "Wanyu, you have worked so hard these days. With you by my side to take care of me, I feel much more at ease."
