"Your Majesty, I have already visited Linglong Residence."
Returning to the Linhua Hall, the talented person reported: "The tenth princess ate too much shaved ice when she came out of the palace with Dr. Sun. She contracted a fever due to alternating cold and heat, and had a severe cough. Sister Yu has already called Dr. Sun to come to Linglong Residence to diagnose the princess. "
"I saw with my own eyes that Dr. Sun was administering acupuncture to the tenth princess, and the servants from Linglongju were also waiting in the room. I think the tenth princess's illness will be cured soon."
"Ask the dining room to prepare more light meals and send them to Linglong Residence."
Wu Jieyu wanted to say something else. After Liu Xianfei ordered the maids around her, she waved her hands with a tired look on her face: "I'm exhausted, so let's all leave today!"
After the talented man left, Li Sixu quickly received the rewards sent by Concubine Liu Xian, including the same lily and lotus seed soup that nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, the same sesame almond dew, and a plate of candied golden apricots.
There are also rock sugar bird's nest porridge, served with orange peel and rouge lotus root and several other light side dishes.
These are foods that clear away heat and moisturize the lungs, and are most suitable for people who are weak due to cough.
Li Sixu sipped the almond milk through a straw made by Xiao Zhuozi who cut thin bamboo, and directed him to take the packet of medicinal powder given by Dr. Sun and sprinkle it around her house and on the windowsill.
Xiao Zhuozi covered his mouth and nose and sprinkled the powder: "Little Master, can these powders really prevent snakes?"
"Yes, it can prevent snakes and catch snakes!"
The almond and sesame dew had been chilled when it was served in the dining room. Li Sixu ate half a bowl and felt refreshing, dissipating the heat of being stuck in the house all day.
"If a snake is exposed to this medicinal powder, it will become weak and weak, and it will be manipulated like a dead fish."
Xiao Zhuozi believed it: "The weather is hot, and poisonous insects, rats, and ants can easily pop out. Last time I went to Xingqing Hall to pick up my young master, a snake swam out halfway there, which scared me..."
Li Sixu said that he would lure the snake out of its hole, and Sun Yizheng said that he had brought her the powder for catching snakes. The silly little Zhuozi believed it, thinking that what Li Sixu asked him to sprinkle was really the powder for catching snakes.
Not to mention the lush vegetation in the imperial garden in midsummer, even in their exquisite residence there were some bugs crawling out and scaring his mother-in-law, so Xiao Zhuozi did the job of spraying the powder with extra precision.
Sprinkle the door, window gaps and outside of the house carefully in all directions without blind spots.
Li Sixu had been suffering from water sores on her body for the past few days. She had been locked in the room reading medical books and had enough rest. In the dead of night, she was still sleepy and was tossing and turning on the bed.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and through the half-closed window, the dark shadow sneaking into Linglong Residence and taking advantage of the moonlight, one could see the tenth princess sitting up from the bed in annoyance.
As if she was too itchy to sleep, she scratched her body with her hands for a while before lying down.
After the person lay down, he still couldn't stand the itching caused by the sores on his body and rolled around on the couch.
There was also a pungent smell of medicine in the air, and the room seemed to have been smoked with mugwort to cover up some smell. Realgar powder for epidemic prevention was also sprinkled around the corners of the room and the window sill.
The black shadow took in everything and felt that she could go back and give orders to her master, so she jumped over the courtyard wall.
You must not know that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!
This scene fell into the eyes of Li Linhuai, who had sneaked into Linglong Residence.
Li Linhuai went to Yang Guibin's place with the third prince today and heard Princess Yue complaining that Li Sixu had not gone to Qingzui Pavilion to see her for several days.
That day at the Imperial Medical Office, he hid in the dark and heard what was going on in the secret room. He knew that Li Sixu had asked Mr. Wang to plant cowpox on her body. Even with the prescription prescribed by Dr. Sun, it would take several days for the boil to heal after it became suppurative. .
After hearing the smallpox for several days, my face changed!
The little princess risked her life in order to develop a method of vaccination that could cure smallpox.
He learned from Sun Yizheng that she had been ill and had been staying in Linglong Residence in isolation since she returned from the Imperial Medical Office. Li Linhuai was a little worried, so he sneaked into Linglong Residence to see her in secret.
Unfortunately, he saw a dark figure sneaking in before him, looking furtively in the dark.
Li Linhuai did not scare the snake, climbed over the wall and followed out of Linglong Residence. When he saw the black shadow leaping into Ruoshuixuan, he entered a room with a light. He climbed up to the roof silently and uncovered the tiles on the roof.
"Mother, during the day, Dr. Sun was going to Linglong Residence to diagnose the little princess. It was indeed a cover-up. I hid in the dark and saw with my own eyes that the little princess was so itchy that she couldn't sleep and rolled on the couch."
The shadow that Li Linhuai was chasing looked very big. Now that he had taken off the veil, he realized that the one who had previously sneaked into Linglong Residence to stalk the little princess was actually a palace maid.
Waiting in the room was the Wu concubine he had seen on the roof of Linhua Hall last time.
No!
It should be said that it is Wu Jieyu who has been demoted.
At this moment, Wu Jieyu had a calculating look in her eyes and asked the tall palace maid: "Can you see clearly?"
"My slave can see clearly. She didn't hear the little princess' cough even though she was hiding outside the house. It doesn't seem like she has a cough."
The palace maid reported: "By the way, the room seems to have been smoked with mugwort, but it can't cover up the pungent smell of medicine. Realgar powder to prevent epidemic diseases is also sprinkled around the corners and windowsill."
She asked a little uneasily: "Mother, is the little princess really infected with the epidemic?"
"It's an epidemic, but it's not the terrible smallpox epidemic. The symptoms of that disease are the same as smallpox. As long as people see the abscesses all over her body, I can take the opportunity to kill her."
Wu Jieyu looked vicious: "The news from over there has never been wrong. You even went to Linglong Residence to investigate for me in person. It's just that the little monster is very evil. I have to be careful this time and let Xian The concubine takes action first."
"But today in Linhua Hall, our plan did not succeed. Concubine Xian believed in what the talented person said and even sent someone to send some light food to Linglong Residence."
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Wu Jieyu sneered: "Concubine Xian has just taken over Jiuxuan Palace. If that little brat really gets a disease that can be transmitted to humans, can she afford the risk?"
"Concubine Liu Xian has given birth to three princes for the emperor. If the eldest prince hadn't hunted to reveal his appearance, he would have most likely fought for the crown prince's position. How could it be that she went from being an old member of the royal palace to becoming a high-ranking concubine now?"
Wu Jieyu's face was ferocious: "Wait a minute, Dr. Sun is accepting that little monster as his disciple. Just because a highly talented person can see Dr. Sun treating her from a distance, not only will it not dispel Concubine Xian's wariness, but it will also make her become more cautious. Linglongju is suspicious..."
Little monster?
Li Linhuai frowned as he listened in the dark, he couldn't bear it.
The little princess inoculated herself with pox in order to promote the cowpox technique. If this happened, it would be a great plan to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Jieyu actually used the sores on the princess's body to deliberately instigate the princess in front of Concubine Liu Xian to contract smallpox, which can be transmitted from person to person?
He kept calling her a little monster.
When the little princess put herself in danger in order to benefit others, the women in the harem only thought about their own petty profits, and took advantage of the little princess's illness to play dirty tricks behind her back.
That time when he sent the little princess back to the palace, he hid in Linglong Residence and heard the little princess's method of dealing with this Wu Jieyu. At that time, he didn't know the inside story, and he only thought that the method was too cruel.
Now I know that I was too gentle with these women.
