Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, during which Xiao Rui had two seizures again, one in the morning court, the atmosphere in the court was frozen, and people were panicking.

Xiao Rui didn't feel any pain, and he didn't realize it when it happened. He woke up slowly, and looked at the people beside the bed with blurry eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

It was Gao Yi, Xiao Rui shook his head, sat up with his weak and tired body, and leaned against the head of the bed to look at Li Ru'an.

"Ru'an hasn't entered the palace for many days."

Li Ru'an was dressed in a purple uniform, bowing his knees to salute, with a dignified look on his crystal white face.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to Your Majesty alone."

Xiao Rui nodded, Gao Yi and Cao Gong announced their retreat, and waited outside the hall with heavy expressions.

"Sit down and talk."

Li Ru'an sat down as he said, and after a moment of deliberation, he slowly opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, although you don't feel any pain, you are well aware that your body is extremely serious right now."

"Yes, although the pain is gone, I feel dizzy, my eyes are getting blurred, my memory is starting to be confused, and my whole body is gradually losing strength..."

"Your Majesty, you have committed the taboo of this disease. You use your brain too much and your mind is overdrawn. Don't blame me for speaking bluntly. Your Majesty's current body is already exhausted."

"Ru'an, what do you want to say?" Xiao Rui said calmly with calm eyes.

"Your Majesty wants to know what I have been doing behind closed doors for the past half month?" Li Ru'an looked directly at the king.

"I have researched a set of acupuncture methods that can prolong Your Majesty's time."

Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, his black eyes flashed with light, he looked at her fixedly, and then he spoke after a while, "I guess the next sentence is yes, but."

"Yes." Li Ru'an nodded, "However, the success rate is only [-]%, and it requires your Majesty's absolute cooperation and absolute rest. There is still a long time, about two to three years."

It is undeniable that when Xiao Rui heard this, he was extremely shocked. He thought he would not survive this year.

"Is it an extension of two to three years?"

Li Ru'an shook his head, "It's the treatment process. After the treatment is over, I have the confidence to ensure that Your Majesty will have another five years."

Another five years?Xiao Rui was in a daze, even if his current body didn't have the prophecy of Ruan, any doctor could tell that his time was numbered. If he could live for another five years, he could see the new look of Daqing's court. Until Ah Yan and Ah Huan's children were born, they thrived.

Xiao Rui lowered his eyes and thought quietly, he could hear even a needle falling on the ground in the hall.

Li Ru'an looked indifferent. For the past half month, she has been recording modern information about brain tumors in her mind every day, borrowing many ancient medical books from Gao Kuang, reading them day and night, and even capturing animals for experiments. After repeated defeats, Ziyan said that in the kitchen these days, the servants ate meat crazily, and their faces were flushed, while Li Ru'an worked hard, and was so irritable that he almost went out to arrest someone and come back to experiment.

"Ruan, you open that cabinet and take out the yellow box inside."

After a long silence, Xiao Rui suddenly pointed to the nanmu cabinet under the bed and gave instructions.

Li Ru'an did as he did, took out the box and presented it to him, but he didn't see him take it.

"How about opening it and taking a look."

Li Ru'an opened the long box, and saw two rolls of bright yellow cloth inside, which were imperial edicts. She raised her eyes to look directly at the king, and only picked up one of the rolls when she saw him nodding, her pupils constricted slightly.

"Your Majesty... this is the edict of abdication?"

Before, Xiao Huan took the accusation of disrespect and bluntly advised him. Li Ru'an believed that even if Xiao Rui chose to rest, he should only be the crown prince and heir, and then he would appoint the prince to supervise the country. I didn't expect Xiao Rui to announce to the world and abdicate directly. You know , he is only 43 years old, in his prime.

There was a trace of relief in Xiao Rui's eyes, and a smile appeared on his thin, pale but majestic face, "Let's read another volume, it was returned to me by Ah Huan before he left."

This Li Ru'an knew that Xiao Huan paid special attention to it and kept it in the hidden compartment in the inner room, but he didn't know what the content was.

"...Edict to establish the crown prince."

Li Ru'an carefully rolled up the two edicts, carefully put them back into the box, and put them back in the cabinet. He sat down again and breathed a sigh of relief to ease the shock in his heart.

"Your Majesty, where do you prefer to rest?"

Xiao Rui smiled slowly, "Ru An's mind is concentrated, if he is a man, he must be the minister of the humerus of Daqing."

----

Li Ru'an originally wanted to leave the palace and go back to Li's mansion, but after hearing two such shocking news, now he didn't want to go anywhere, so he went straight back to Prince Huan's mansion, relaxed his mind, and slept from evening to morning.

There was a low voice outside, Li Ru'an woke up slowly, only to feel weak from sleep, and sat up with his heavy head on his back, secretly thinking that he was nervous and tired for the past half a month, and finally slept, overslept .

"Nanny..."

Xuegu went around the screen and walked in, "My sister is awake? Oh, why is your face so pale?"

Li Ru'an shook his dizzy head, helped Xue Gu's hand to stand up, and said comfortingly, "Maybe I'm tired these days, sleepy and drowsy, and I'll be refreshed after washing up."

Xuegu sighed secretly, the prince always said that his sister didn't care about him, but she looked at her sister for half a month, because she was not used to the prince not being around, she tried her best to find things for herself, and made the house full of wild animals and poultry, so as not to look so bad at home. Desolate, no, I want to be sick.

"In half a month, the prince should have gone to the northern border by now? There is no letter back."

Li Ruan did not tell anyone the reason for the needling experiment. She did not expect Xuegu to think so much, and said with a smile, "They are hurrying up, this meeting should have arrived, the battle is urgent, and they should be busy with the war as soon as they arrive. We eat and sleep well in Kyoto, of course we put it in the back.”

Sure enough, after taking a shower, she felt full of energy. Li Ru'an sat at the dining table with slightly damp long hair, hungry.

"Hey, sister, eat slowly, why are you so hungry? Don't overwhelm your stomach."

Xuegu, who was serving vegetables, and Ziyan Zilan behind her were quite surprised, looking at the elegant and fast eating lady, and the half-eaten meal on the table. Is it the way to keep in good health?
Li Ru'an put down his chopsticks, picked up a small porcelain spoon, and finished a bowl of fresh fish soup, then rinsed his mouth, wiped his hands and said with a smile, "I just drank a bowl of milk soup last night, can I still be hungry after sleeping?" Auntie Liu made this cheesecake, right? Her craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Xuegu smiled and called Mrs. Liu who was outside the courtyard to come in, "No, Mrs. Liu is now an expert in the kitchen. A few days ago, I brought some milk cheese cakes to visit Mrs. Jiang in Li's mansion. She and the young master ate it. I can’t stop talking, it’s sweet and sour, it’s fragrant, refreshing and appetizing.”

"The concubine likes it, and it's the blessing of the maid." Mrs. Liu now lives comfortably, her husband and daughter are by her side, her face is full of red, and her smile is bright.

It is now the middle of May, the season of spring and summer, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. Li Ru'an is wearing a light green gauze skirt, cool and comfortable, walking slowly on the garden path, followed by the three Snow Girls, and there is still Xian Mammy and some mothers.

Aunt Xian was ashamed of Zhao's mother being bought by Wen Wan'er before. Fortunately, the prince and concubine did not blame her, and she was very grateful. Before leaving, the prince specially asked her to take good care of the concubine.
