Li Sixu actually planned to go to Shangyang Palace. As the open channels in Chang'an City were changed to underground channels, mosquitoes and flies would not breed so easily. When the malaria season is high in summer and autumn, the demand for dysentery medicine will decrease.
After enjoying the benefits of growing vegetables in greenhouses, Xu Cairen planned to grow some medicinal materials other than Artemisia annua in Shangyang Palace.
Li Sixu asked her senior brother Wang Ziqing to go to the Song and Qing medicine store. In view of the shortage of medicinal materials in Chang'an City, she also made a list of medicinal materials based on the properties of medicinal materials for discussion with Xu Cairen.
Perhaps it was because her father had left Concubine De and her son in the palace in Luoyang for more than a year. His imperial brother was shy and extremely sensitive, a bit like the rebellious adolescent boy she came to in that world.
She brought the peony cake he sent to the Taiyuan Hospital. Her fourth emperor brother seemed not very happy. If she declined him politely, I don't know how he would feel in his heart.
But despite this, she still had to refuse him politely.
Because her father was becoming more and more strict with the princes, princes as young as Wei'er and Yun'er were all sent to the Chongwen Hall, and after a while, the Taifu would help test their knowledge.
If she learned that the prince, who was older than her Xuanhuang brother, only cared about having fun and took her to fly a kite in the palace, she didn't know how she should be punished.
Because of the turmoil after the abolition, the emperor was busy appeasing the empress, but he didn't have time to go to Penglai Palace. It was not that he didn't care about Concubine De and her son.
Li Sixu was just thinking about how to refuse, when Eunuch Yang hurriedly came to the Imperial Hospital in person: "The Yao Mansion asked Lord Yuan to bring a message to the palace. Lord Yao just fainted. The emperor said that the princess and the imperial doctor were going to the palace with him." Mansion, the carriage is already waiting outside."
On the days after leaving the palace and staying at Yuzhen Temple, Li Sixu took the time to visit Yao Chong's house. Even with the few doses of tonic soup she prescribed, there was no way to save him.
No matter how powerful the medical skills are, they can't save a body whose oil lamp has dried up.
Hearing the news that Yao Chong had fainted, Li Sixu was in a very low mood: "Father summoned me, Sisi is anxious to go to Master Yao's house and fly a kite with the emperor another day."
I clearly heard Eunuch Yang say that the emperor had summoned the ten emperor sisters and the imperial doctor to go with him to visit the sick. The mother-in-law wanted him to gain face in front of her father, so there was an excellent opportunity in front of her.
The fourth prince hesitated for a moment and then said: "Is the imperial sister following the imperial doctor to diagnose Master Yao? Can I go with the imperial sister to visit the doctor?"
Just as Li Sixu was about to say something was wrong, Eunuch Yang came out with Dr. Sun carrying a medicine box to help her out.
"Fourth prince, the emperor has only summoned the tenth princess and the imperial physician to accompany him!"
Seeing Li Sixu being led by Dr. Sun and leaving behind the fierce-looking Eunuch Yang, the fourth prince holding the kite darkened his eyes again and left the Taiyuan Hospital with a look of shame and anger.
Yao Yi asked Yuan Qianyao to send a message to the palace, and his father decided to visit the Yao Mansion in person. This was a very bad signal. After Li Sixu got on the carriage, she only felt that the atmosphere was dull and depressing.
Seeing her father sitting in the corner of the carriage with a stern look on his face, Li Sixu sat down next to him and put her little paws on the back of her father's hand.
The soft touch made Xuanzong feel better.
When the carriage left the palace gate, he said in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, can my beloved survive?"
Doctor Sun had been traveling frequently to Yao Mansion recently, and he couldn't bear to reveal the cruel truth in front of him, and couldn't deceive him, so he had no choice but to comfort him.
"When we get to the Yao Mansion, I will do my best!"
As a result, the carriage fell into silence, and no one spoke until they reached Yao Mansion.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the Yao Mansion, the Yao family members were about to kneel down to pay respects. Xuanzong made a flat gesture: "I am here to visit Yao Aiqing. Keep everything simple. Yao Yi will lead the way and take me to see your father."
"yes!"
The Yao family members thanked them and dispersed after being ordered to do so!
Yao Yi led the way, leading the emperor Sun Yizheng and Li Sixu through the corridor and arrived at the door of Yao Chong's bedroom.
Knowing that Xuanzong was coming to visit the patient, the Yao family cleared out all the rest, leaving only a mother-in-law waiting in the house.
Yao Yi led Xuanzong and his entourage into the house. After the mother-in-law bowed, she respectfully stepped back.
After Yao Chong fainted, he was revived by the imperial doctor who stayed in Yao Mansion. He seemed to be in good spirits. When he saw Xuanzong and others coming in, he struggled to get up.
But neither Emperor Xuanzong nor Li Sixu and Sun Yizheng were happy when they saw his sudden improvement, because only the return of light can make people who have been ill for a long time appear in this state.
Xuanzong personally supported him: "Yao Aiqing is lying down soon. I have brought the imperial doctors Zheng and Xiao Shi. With their medical skills, Aiqing's body and bones will definitely recover."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to comfort my old minister!"
Yao Chong, who had become so thin that he was reduced to a withered bone, spoke with difficulty: "I know that my time is short, so I am lucky to be able to see the face of the Holy God before I die."
"I entered the official position as a groom, and was appreciated by Emperor Zetian. I was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, but I always thought about returning to the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, I fulfilled my mission and finally achieved my wish. After several ups and downs, I finally became the Holy Emperor. Appreciate it and worship him as Zhongshu Ling, a highly respected minister."
Yao Chong continued intermittently: "I receive a salary from the people, and I want to do something practical for the people of the world. Fortunately, I met a wise monarch like your majesty, so that I can carry out my ambitions and have no regrets in this life."
"Today, the Tang Dynasty is gradually showing signs of prosperity. Unfortunately, I am powerless and can no longer accompany the Holy One..."
Li Sixu burst into tears when she heard these words. Xuanzong's eyes were already red and swollen as he held Yao Chong's withered hand.
"I know, I all know, that Yao Aiqing worked hard and made great achievements. It was Aiqing who assisted Zhang Jianzhi in launching the Dragon Coup to eliminate the Zhang brothers and their gang members and return power to the Tang Dynasty."
"It was my aunt who refused to be attached to me and was demoted to the governor of Shenzhou."
"It was Aiqing who advocated the implementation of the New Deal, carried out reforms, promoted advantages and eliminated disadvantages, rectified the administration of officials, eliminated redundant positions, selected officials to recruit talents, and encouraged the people to farm. This is the sign of today's prosperous age."
"One by one, Aiqing's achievements are countless. I keep them all in my heart and dare not forget them for a moment. I am very lucky to have such a wise minister as Aiqing to assist me!"
At the end, Xuanzong's voice was low and choked: "Ai Qing saved the Tang Dynasty from danger several times. Ai Qing is my virtuous minister and a virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is me or the people of the world, I will remember Ai Qing." Great achievements, I cannot lose my love..."
"Your Majesty, everyone is mortal. I have received the people's salary and support, so I can do some practical things for them, so that the people can rest and live in peace and contentment. I have fulfilled my wish."
He held Xuanzong's hand tightly: "I feel no shame, so I have no regrets in my heart."
With such exertion, Yao Chong coughed violently. Seeing him collapse on the couch with no strength, looking like he had exhausted all his strength, Li Sixu hurriedly took out the golden needle.
After a few injections, Yao Chong finally felt better. He said tiredly: "I have a few last words to explain to my family."
