"Okay, Sisi just wants to go to Nanxun Palace to say hello to the Queen."
Li Sixu hurriedly moved her short feet and trotted behind Dr. Sun.
Although the weather became much cooler after autumn, as she followed Dr. Sun all the way to the Nanxun Hall, Li Sixu still had a circle of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
When Eunuch Gui brought their master and apprentice into the palace, the queen saw Li Sixu who was panting and sweating from exhaustion and could not care less that she had a severe headache.
"Xiao Shi is here too?"
The queen ordered the maids beside her: "Go quickly and pour a pot of warm tea for the imperial physician Zheng and the tenth princess."
"Sisi knew that the queen had a headache and was very worried, so she wanted to follow the master to Nanxun Hall to pay her regards."
Li Sixu followed Dr. Sun to give the queen a gift!
While Dr. Sun was diagnosing the queen's pulse, Li Sixu looked at the maid who was massaging the queen's forehead: "Master taught Sisi the massage technique to relieve headaches. Sisi would like to give her a try."
Because of her short legs, Li Sixu followed Dr. Sun all the way to Nanxun Hall, her face flushed with exhaustion.
This look is so cute and endearing!
Regardless of the fact that she was tired and still out of breath, she wanted to help her massage her head to relieve her headache. The Queen was a little moved.
"Then let Xiao Shi try it!"
The queen winked at the maid next to her, and the maid hurriedly moved a low stool over. Li Sixu climbed on the stool, reached out to the queen's forehead and began to massage it gently.
The queen originally thought, what strength can such a small person have?
For the sake of her enthusiasm, it was hard to brush off her kindness.
But when Li Sixu's hand touched her forehead, the queen could feel a continuous force penetrating into the acupuncture points. The force instantly washed away the aching pain in her forehead, and her dizzy head seemed to relax a lot.
"The queen's health is fine. After the tenth princess gives her a massage, I will give you a prescription to calm your mind!"
After Dr. Sun wrote a prescription for the queen, he handed the prescription to Eunuch Gui and asked him to arrange for the palace maid to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.
After seeing his little disciple's deft hands move around the queen's forehead, the empress's frown had already relaxed.
He hesitated for a moment, then spoke to persuade: "I think that although your Majesty is working hard in taking care of the harem, you still have to avoid overthinking. Otherwise, even if you take the prescription prescribed by me, I can't guarantee that your illness will not happen again. "
The queen was stunned for a moment, a little lost.
Soon he smiled dignifiedly at Dr. Sun and said, "I know it. Dr. Lao is reminding me!"
This person may not necessarily listen to advice!
Doctor Sun knew that things in the harem were complicated and it would be useless to talk about them, so he had no choice but to take the tea brewed by the palace maid.
"After Xiao Shi massaged me, I feel much more relaxed!"
The Queen smiled gracefully and said: "Are you tired? I'm feeling much better. Go and have a bowl of tea to quench your thirst."
"I'm not tired at all. Just massage it for a while and your head will stop hurting."
Li Sixu insisted on continuing to massage her, but the queen had no choice but to give up!
She spoke to Li Sixu: "I heard that you followed Imperial Physician Zheng and Imperial Physician Du out of the palace yesterday to Wangji Temple? Is Master Yao's condition better?"
"Much better. Using artemisia annua juice as medicine has made Master Yao's condition much better."
Li Sixu massaged the queen and said, "Sisi also went to Wangji Temple with Master this morning. Lord Yao slept very well last night. He also drank a bowl of porridge in the morning. After Master gave him acupuncture, The prescription has been re-prescribed, Madam, Master Yao's illness will be cured soon."
Yao Chong was a minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was very old and suffered from severe malaria. The queen was worried that he would not survive.
When Li Sixu said that Yao Chong had completely improved, she felt much relieved.
"I also heard that after you returned to the palace yesterday, you and your father came up with suggestions on how to prevent and treat malaria? Do you also want to use artemisia annua as medicine to develop a specific medicine to treat malaria?"
"Yes, Artemisia annua is very effective on Master Yao, but it will lose its anti-malarial effect after it is dried or boiled."
Li Sixu told the queen about her plan: "To develop a medicine to treat malaria, a large amount of artemisia annua will be used. I have already informed my father that I want to choose a place in the palace to grow medicinal materials."
With the queen's intelligence, how could she not have thought of what Li Sixu had planned?
The little guy followed Dr. Sun to the Nanxun Hall. His face was red from exhaustion, and he wanted to massage her to relieve her headache, not wanting to take a rest first.
Seeing that she was so courteous in order to develop a special medicine that could relieve the sufferings of the people, the queen didn't care about her anymore!
"Tell me, what do you like?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
Li Sixu continued to massage the acupuncture points on the queen's forehead and said seriously: "Leng Gong!"
"What?"
The Queen was not the only one who was surprised. Dr. Sun was taking a sip of tea and almost spit it out.
There is no place in Youda's harem where artemisia can't be planted. Even if a piece of land is opened outside the Taiyuan Hospital, she still has to worry about it.
She actually picked a remote cold palace?
How is this not surprising!
Dr. Sun couldn't guess what kind of medicine her little disciple was selling in the gourd, so he winked at her anxiously and told her not to do anything wrong.
Li Sixu felt a little aggrieved: "Does the empress also think that Sisi is here?"
The Queen did not think that Li Sixu was acting recklessly. At first glance, her decision to plant the Artemisia annua seeds in the cold palace seemed a bit absurd, like a child acting randomly.
That's why the Queen was surprised at first!
But after the surprise, she fell into deep thought.
She has been taking care of the emperor's palace since she was still in the fiefdom. After the emperor ascended the throne, she has been taking care of the harem for so many years.
How can I not know the twists and turns of this harem?
It is a sin for a woman who enters the palace not to be favored. Even if she makes a small mistake, loses her etiquette in front of the emperor, or offends a high-ranking concubine, she is in danger of being relegated to the cold palace.
How many of the people in the cold palace have actually committed heinous crimes?
Even though she has been in charge of the harem, she has repeatedly ordered not to deprive the cold palace of food, but there are places in this palace that she cannot see, and there are servants who work in secret.
The queen pondered for a moment, then held Li Sixu's little hand that was rubbing her forehead, and asked in a warm voice: "How could Xiao Shi think of sending the Artemisia annua seeds to the cold palace?"
Li Sixu felt that her guess was correct. The Empress was gentle and virtuous, and she agreed to send the Artemisia annua seeds to the cold palace in order to bring a glimmer of life to the darkened women in the cold palace. She was showing kindness.
Looking at the fair and slender hand holding her own, Li Sixu felt mixed emotions.
The queen must not know that the reason why she chose to plant artemisia in the cold palace was not only because she wanted to learn from Xu Cairen the real culprit behind the murder of her and her mother, but also for other reasons.
This reason has something to do with the Queen!
Early in the morning, at the entrance of the Taiyuan Hospital, when the maid next to Xu Cairen wanted to lure her to the cold palace, Li Sixu remembered that the few pages of the script she had turned over mentioned that the queen was sent to the cold palace.
The queen looked at her inquiringly, and Li Sixu said hurriedly: "Leng Palace is a big place, and Shangyang Palace is full of wasteland."
"Developing medicine to treat malaria requires the use of a large amount of artemisia annua. Sisi thought that the cold palace was the most suitable place."
