In the peaceful and quiet imperial palace, on the eaves of a magnificent palace, sat a man in black keeping watch.
He was muttering something and fiddling with a petal in his hand.
Every time he spoke, he broke off a petal.
"balderdash."
"No sleep talking."
"balderdash."
At dawn, when the bouquets of flowers prepared by the men in black were almost insufficient, they finally heard a familiar mumbling voice coming from the palace below.
The man in black couldn't help but sigh, then threw away the flower in his hand that had only a few petals left.
"Day 46, time, dawn."
He stood up and brushed off the petals that were on his body, "Well, it's time for the master to get up."
After saying that, the man in black jumped off the eaves with a whoosh and walked towards the eunuch who was guarding the corridor.
"How's the medicine? Is it ready?" he asked.
The eunuch Li Honghe was the most capable eunuch beside Lu Huan, and he personally supervised the preparation of the medicine.
"It's prepared every day, and it's almost done now. Is Your Majesty talking in his sleep again?"
The man in black nodded: "Yeah."
"It is time for Your Majesty to rise. Prepare the medicine and serve it to Your Majesty after breakfast."
Li Honghe nodded and said, "I know, don't worry."
…
Inside the palace, Lu Huan gently pressed his temples, trying to relieve his headache.
Li Honghe came in with the medicine and placed it on the white jade dining table. "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."
Lu Huan said "hmm" lightly and didn't drink it in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take the medicine. The imperial physician said that this medicine must be taken at the specified time. After that time, the effect will not be as good." Li Honghe advised again.
Lu Huan said angrily, "Whether you drink this medicine or not, it's the same."
I have been dreaming about her more and more frequently recently. At first, it was just restless sleep, but later I was talking in my sleep all night long.
During the day he was busy attending court, reviewing memorials, handling government affairs, and also had to deal with the marriages and concubines proposed by the ministers. All of these things left him physically and mentally exhausted.
At night, he couldn't sleep well, and the tranquilizers prescribed by the imperial physician had no effect.
After finally falling asleep, he dreamed of the cause of his mother's death, the fire in the ancestral hall, and Su Qian dying in his arms. The last remaining warmth from her body seemed to still be in his palm, lingering for a long time.
I have nightmares all night long, so when I wake up during the day, I have a terrible headache.
He couldn't relax day or night and couldn't get a good rest. Over time, his energy and spirit became much weaker.
The bowl of medicine in front of him was not a tranquilizer, but medicine to treat his headache.
But Lu Huan knew clearly that the crux of the matter could not be solved by this bowl of medicine for treating headaches. The real cause of the disease was much more complicated.
Even if you take this medicine, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
What's more, even the effect of treating the symptoms is minimal, and at best it is just for psychological comfort.
He understood that if he wanted to relieve his headache, he had to stop being so busy.
Furthermore, you need to get a good rest at night.
But both of these are luxuries for him now, especially the latter.
The influence Su Qian had on him was greater than he realized.
In the past, in order to stop himself from thinking about her all the time, he could only fill his life with all kinds of trivial things so that he couldn't stop and wouldn't think about her.
It was intentional at first, but later on, it became really hard and busy.
The various busy things during the day made him breathless and left him no time to think about every detail about him and Su Qian.
However, where he could not control, Su Qian would always sneak into his dreams, disturbing his sleep at night.
So it’s not that important whether you take this medicine or not.
"If Your Majesty refuses to drink, I will have to summon the imperial physician to see you after you leave court."
Lu Huan felt annoyed when he heard this and glared at Li Honghe fiercely.
Li Honghe knelt down tremblingly: "I am so bold, I am guilty, but I am only concerned about your health. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
Lu Huan withdrew his gaze, his beautiful fingers still pressing on his temples, but his left hand directly brought the medicine over and swallowed it in one breath.
He could still choose whether to finish the drink or spend more time listening to the imperial physician's nagging and getting even more headache.
Seeing that he had taken the medicine and not taking his anger out on him, Li Honghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But what he saw the next second almost scared him to death.
After Lu Huan finished drinking the medicine, he rinsed his mouth with the help of the eunuch, and then prepared to go to court.
But who would have thought that the moment he stood up, his entire body seemed to be hanging upside down, his hands and feet were weak and numb, his head was dizzy, his vision suddenly dimmed, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground...
"His Majesty!"
Li Honghe quickly caught his falling body and shouted, "Hurry up! His Majesty has fainted!"
"Call the imperial physician! Hurry and call the imperial physician!"
For a moment, Kunde Hall was in chaos.
…
After a cup of tea, several imperial doctors came hurriedly. The leader was Mr. Gao, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When Li Honghe saw him, he felt like he had seen a savior.
"Master Gao, please take a look at His Majesty. He has suddenly fainted."
