"The Imperial Grandmother can't remember. It's probably just that she's getting old and has trouble sleeping and having nightmares."
Shangguan Ruian came to claim her life. How could she tell him about such a dream?
What's more, asking Feng Yulin to interpret the dream is absolutely impossible!
"Grandmother, since dreams that you can't remember upon waking up don't have much impact on your body, I'll prescribe a recipe for you to calm your mind and soothe your spirit. Drink one bowl every morning and evening, and light some calming incense before going to sleep, and you'll be fine."
Empress Dowager Du hurriedly asked, "After drinking the medicine today, can you sleep well tonight?"
"As the saying goes, if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. If you can calm your mind and drink this tranquilizing prescription, you will naturally be able to sleep peacefully."
She didn't think about it, why did she dream about Shangguan Ruian?
"Then write a prescription."
"Okay." Xiao Lingyu nodded, stood up and walked to the table. He glanced calmly at Xiao Xier who was leaning against the incense burner, then picked up a pen and wrote down the prescription.
"Ms. Yun, go get the medicine. Take it morning and night after meals. Oh, the Empress Dowager hasn't eaten yet. Bring in the breakfast..."
"Yes, Queen."
Yun Gu took the prescription and left. A moment later, Fu Xuan brought in breakfast.
"Grandmother, it's time to eat. You can't go hungry." Xiao Lingyu picked up the bowl of rice and handed it to her mouth, ready to feed her.
Empress Dowager Du didn't know why, but she felt much more relaxed when the mother and daughter arrived. She was also feeling hungry at the moment, so she smiled and nodded: "The Empress Dowager's love for you is not in vain, you are filial..."
Empress Dowager Du had a kind smile on her face while being fed, but she was frightened inside.
The dream was so real. Shangguan Ruian was covered in blood, exactly the same as he was when he had a heavy hemorrhage 23 years ago.
Half an incense stick later, Xiao Lingyu took Xiao Xier and left Shoukang Palace.
Five hundred meters away from the East Palace, Shangguan Mochen and Nie Xiao were seen pushing aside the imperial guards blocking their way and heading towards the Yangxin Palace.
Tsk! Grandfather is really arrogant.
"Mother, should we send someone to notify Father to come and help? I'm worried..." Xiao Xier hurriedly leaned over to Xiao Lingyu's ear and continued, "I'm worried that the Emperor Retired had a nightmare last night. If my great-grandfather goes over now and upsets him, he might not be able to handle it today."
"Look behind you, who are those four people?"
Xiao Xier looked in the direction of the sight and saw Shangguan Jinnian, Suning and An Ge following behind with the imperial guards as cover.
"Then there's no need to look for Daddy. Big Brother will come to the rescue in time... Just in case, should we go and take a look? I remember Mom expressed her breast milk last night, and Xiaowu is hungry. Great-grandmother and Aunt Qingluan will feed him."
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment. If An Ge'er and the others couldn't stop them, and since today was a big court meeting, Xingyi wouldn't have the time to come to the rescue. "Okay, let's go."
Feng Yanzhi had gauze wrapped around his face and was sitting on the couch by the window with his eyes open, not daring to close them.
As soon as I closed my eyes, Shangguan Ruian's terrifying face would appear in my mind.
"Your Majesty, the tranquilizing and soothing soup that Dean Yang invented is ready after being boiled over high heat." Li Haiying came in carrying the medicine.
"Leave it there. I'll drink it later."
Feng Yanzhi felt a little sleepy, his eyelids were getting heavier, but he still forced himself not to close his eyes and rest.
He was worried that after he closed his eyes, Shangguan Ruian would kill him in his dream and he would never wake up again.
Li Haiying saw that the bloodshot eyes of the retired emperor were even redder than when he first woke up, and he was very worried. He advised: "Mr. Yang has just given you acupuncture. He said that if you drink this bowl of tranquilizing soup, you will sleep well and won't have the dream again."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yanzhi picked up the medicine in front of him and drank it.
He had just finished half of his drink when he caught a glimpse of Shangguan Mochen storming into the yard.
Feng Yanzhi was already nervous and frightened, and when he saw Shangguan Mochen at this moment, it was as if he saw Shangguan Ruian coming to him with a fierce momentum to take his life.
Everything went dark and I passed out.
"Ah! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't scare this old servant."
Shangguan Mochen: ...
He hadn't said anything yet and hadn't even entered the hall, but he fainted?
This illness is pretended to be more real than yesterday.
Shangguan Mochen was convinced that he was pretending, so he quickly entered the bedroom and kicked Feng Yanzhi, "Feng Yanzhi, get up right now..."
"Old man, please be gentle." Li Haiying quickly grabbed Shangguan Mochen's feet, "My emperor is really sick..."
Shangguan Mochen glanced at the gauze on Feng Yanzhi's face and the small half bowl of medicine.
He is really sick!
It's really scary!
Shangguan Mochen withdrew his foot in disgust and turned to leave. Xiao Lingyu came in with Xiao Xier, followed by four boys.
"Empress, please go and check on the Emperor, he suddenly fainted..." Li Haiying saw Xiao Lingyu as if she had seen a savior, and her eyes turned red with excitement.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look right away."
Seeing that the gauze on Feng Yanzhi's face was still stained with blood, Xiao Lingyu turned his head to look at Shangguan Mochen.
Shangguan Mochen didn't feel guilty at all, "Yu'er, grandpa didn't hit him that hard, he must have fallen on his own."
Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips and took the emperor's pulse.
After taking the pulse, Xiao Lingyu was somewhat surprised. The symptoms of the retired emperor were more serious than those of the grand empress dowager. It seemed that his grandfather had contributed to this.
Li Haiying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Lingyu's calm expression. "Empress, the emperor's condition isn't serious, is it?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded, "Father must have been frightened. I think he's been feeling uneasy these past few days."
Shangguan Mochen frowned. He was so scared of him, he must be hiding something!
"Empress, this is the recipe Yang Sheng just prescribed for calming the mind. Do you want to change it?"
Xiao Lingyu picked up a small bowl of medicine and sniffed it carefully. "No need. This tranquilizing soup will be enough to heal Father. However, you'll need to light some tranquilizing incense before bed. If nothing goes wrong, Father will be able to sleep soundly tonight."
"Mother." Xiao Xier put down the powder box and walked to Xiao Lingyu. "We've been out for a long time. Xiao Wu is going to cry if he can't see us. Let's go back to the East Palace."
"Okay, let's go back."
"Farewell, Her Majesty..."
Not long after Li Haiying sent the people away, Su Xingyi came to the Yangxin Palace.
"What's going on? Why is it still wrapped in gauze? Has the swelling gotten worse instead of going down?"
Li Haiying quickly thought of a response and said, "Your Majesty, last night the Emperor's face was itchy and he couldn't help scratching until it bled. Yang Sheng applied some medicine and it won't leave a scar."
Su Xingyi nodded and said, "Okay, if Father can't resist the itch tonight, you can tie his hands."
"This..." Li Haiying didn't dare, but it was indeed a good idea.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Xingyi looked at him incredulously and left the Yangxin Palace without saying anything.
As soon as Su Xingyi returned to the East Palace, he was pulled into the inner room by Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Xier.
After hearing what Xiao Xier did last night, Su Xingyi gave her a thumbs up.
His precious daughter is very smart.
"Xiao Xi'er, if you're not at Beiyi tomorrow night, then won't the two of us be haunted by nightmares tomorrow night?"
