Chapter 53 Seizures
"Ru'an, what do you think?" The queen mother naturally understood that Li Ru'an's modesty just now was to preserve his uncle's status and calm down the wariness of several imperial physicians.

"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty's symptoms just now are like epileptic seizures." Li Ru'an said calmly.

epilepsy?Several imperial doctors looked at each other, not knowing why, Gao Yi pondered for a moment and asked solemnly, "Is An An talking about peak disease and epilepsy?"

Peak disease!Several imperial physicians and Empress Dowager Xiao Huan and Xiao Yan were all taken aback. There were rumors in Daqing that people suffering from terminal illnesses were caused by being possessed by filth and evil spirits.

"How could it be! Isn't the father..." Xiao Yan shook his head and muttered, with a dignified expression on his upright and resolute face.

"It's not what you think. It's just a disease. It has nothing to do with the theory of strange powers and disordered spirits. There are three types of epilepsy, wind epilepsy, phlegm epilepsy, and ecchymosis. Your Majesty has repeated headaches, stiffness, wheezing, and visual acuity during seizures." Red, with white foam at the mouth, it should be epilepsy, and most epilepsy is caused by the brain." Li Ru'an knew the rumors, and said slowly.

The cold and calm voice eased the fear in everyone's hearts, took a breath, stared at her and waited for the next words.

After thinking about it, Li Ru'an continued, "The root cause of your majesty's illness is a headache. The problem can be big or small. I need to wait for your majesty to wake up and ask about all the symptoms before I can make a conclusion."

Now Xiao Rui was very tired and fell into a deep sleep, it was almost dusk, the Empress Dowager asked several imperial physicians to leave, leaving only Gao Yi to watch inside, and had a hasty dinner with Xiao Huan, Xiao Yan, Li Ru'an and others outside.

"Well, let's rest in the Aijia Palace tonight, the emperor's sick Aijia is really uneasy."

"Yes, ma'am." Li Ru'an had doubts about Xiao Rui's illness, so he naturally agreed.

Xuegu and the others waiting outside the palace gate felt uneasy. In the afternoon, King Huan suddenly came to Li's mansion. After talking to the young lady for a few words, they hurried into the palace, not knowing what happened.

Seeing a small eunuch come out from a distance, it means that the Empress Dowager has left Miss Li's family to stay in the palace tonight, Xuegu sees the night is coming, so she has to turn around and go back to Li's residence.

At night, Xiao Huan persuaded the tired Empress Dowager to go back to Yongfu Palace to rest, and waited in Chengguang Palace with Xiao Yan, beside Li Ru'an talking to Gao Yi in a low voice, and beside him stood the worried and anxious Eunuch Cao.

It wasn't until the third watch that Xiao Rui woke up leisurely, feeling sore and weak all over. After blinking several times, he finally saw Xiao Huan in front of the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Huan..."

Xiao Huan lowered the look in his eyes, stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you are awake, do you feel any discomfort?"

"It's okay." Xiao Rui came back to his senses, sat up with effort and leaned against the wide pillow, he rubbed his forehead and asked in a low voice, "How long have I been dizzy this time?"

"This time? Has Your Majesty fainted before?" Xiao Huan asked with a frown.

"It's just that I've been dizzy a few times, and I'll be fine once I sleep." Xiao Rui waved his hand, looking tired, and seeing the dignified expressions of a few people, he asked, "Why is Miss Li here? What happened after I fainted? "

Gao Yi took a step forward and bowed his hands, "Your Majesty is in a coma and then has a seizure, and is in critical condition."

"Wind epilepsy? But because of the head wind again?" Xiao Rui sighed, rubbed his forehead that was still aching, and then waved his hands and said, "I'm very tired, Cao Zhi, bring me the golden elixir."

Eunuch Cao responded, and quickly took a wooden box and presented it. Li Ru'an saw Gao Yi frown and wanted to stop him, so she took a step forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, may I take a look at the golden elixir?"

Xiao Rui was stunned, then nodded and said, "Of course I can."

The golden pill was as big as a thumb. Li Ru'an held one and put it under his nose and sniffed it for a while, and said slowly, "After taking the golden pill, your majesty felt that the pain was gone, and he felt refreshed and full of energy. feel?"

Xiao Rui was surprised, and nodded slowly, "How does Miss Li know the most wonderful thing about this golden elixir?"

"The effect is quick, but the effect is not long, and there is dependence. If you don't take it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, like a hundred ants gnawing." Seeing Xiao Rui nodded in shock again, Li Ru'an put the golden pill back into the box, and continued, "This Golden pills are made of cinnabar, mercury, gold, silver, and poppy, and only poppy has an analgesic effect, and the others are not beneficial to the human body, but also harmful."

Harm!Eunuch Cao almost knocked over the box, and everyone focused their eyes on the golden elixir, full of surprise.

"This is made by Sitian Pavilion's method masters specially for my father's headache, how could it be harmful?" Xiao Yan and Xiao Huan looked at each other and murmured, while Xiao Huan's black eyes were cold in thought.

"Your Majesty only relies on the golden elixir because the poppy in it has an effect. The poppy can excite the central nervous system. Although it has the effect of analgesia, cough relief, refreshment and hypnosis, it will be addictive if taken for a long time, and it will damage the internal heart and lungs." Li Ru'an looked at Xiao Xiao. Rui said slowly.

"Damaging the heart and lungs? Fang Tianming is so courageous!" Xiao Yan was astonished.

Xiao Rui's headache got worse, Li Ru'an said that he had a series of symptoms after taking the golden elixir, and he was shocked, "I just started taking this golden elixir this year."

"Your Majesty, this poppy can paralyze people's will. After His Majesty is completely addicted, he will be manipulated by others, and the cinnabar, mercury, gold and silver in it will slowly destroy the dragon's body. Your Majesty, this person can be punished." Li Ru'an Speak out what's on your mind,
"Cao Zhi, ask the Imperial Army to put Fang Tianming in prison immediately and wait for his release!"

"Slave obeys the order!" Eunuch Cao took the order to retreat.

Xiao Huan remembered that he had received a secret report about Sitian Pavilion from the secret guard, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Miss Li, is there any way to save my father's illness?" Xiao Yan was burning with anxiety, his handsome face was full of worry.

"Elder Prince, don't worry, I still have some questions to ask Your Majesty." Li Ru'an nodded and finished speaking, then went to sit next to Gao Yi.

"Uncle, how is your majesty's pulse?"

"Your Majesty's pulse is heavy at this time, but it was different a few days ago, it was loud and stringy." Gao Yi replied after thinking, with a serious expression on his face.

Li Ru'an pondered, because the lights in the room were dim, Xiao Rui couldn't see the whole picture from the side, she put the oil lamp on the bedside, and ordered the palace servants to bring in more lamps.

When the lights in the room were bright and Xiao Rui sat up to face Li Ru'an, her heart sank and she stared at Xiao Rui's drooping left face. Even more haggard.

Seeing Xiao Rui frowning again with a painful expression, Li Ru'an took out two special painkillers from his sleeve, "This is painkiller, Your Majesty will feel better after taking it."

Xiao Rui didn't hesitate, took the water from Gao Yi, and swallowed the pill.

"Your Majesty, when did your headache start?"

"About five years ago, it was just a slight headache at first. Two years ago, I caught a cold, and then the pain intensified. I had to take decoction or acupuncture every day to suppress it." Xiao Rui recalled.

"Apart from headaches, can your Majesty feel anxiety, depression, loss of vision, blurred vision, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting, or pain all over the body for no reason?" Li Ru'an thought about it carefully, and asked as he asked, with a faint feeling in his heart. Good feeling.

Facing the worried gazes of Xiao Yan and others, Xiao Rui silently nodded slowly, shocked in his heart.

Li Ru'an took a slight breath, and raised a finger, "Your Majesty, please focus on the finger of the courtier."

Xiao Rui did as he did, his eyes closely followed Li Ruan's fingers as he turned left and right, Xiao Huan and Xiao Yan who was opposite suddenly frowned, and looked at each other, inexplicably surprised.

"What about father's eyes..." Xiao Yan couldn't help murmuring.

Li Ru'an watched Xiao Rui's right eye turn with a heavy heart, but the left eye stayed in the center without moving at all. She put down her finger and asked again, "Does your majesty fall to one side unconsciously when dizzy?"

"Yes, sometimes I clearly want to go to the right, but my body will turn to the left, which is very weird." Xiao Rui felt that the medicine he took just now had an effect, and his headache disappeared a lot. Seeing the dignified expressions of several people, he said in a deep voice .

"Your Majesty, do you feel tingling or numbness on the left side of your body, and you can't use your strength?"

"Yes."

"Does the base of your tongue become stiff from time to time, and you can't speak clearly?"

"…Yes."

"Is there memory confusion? For example, you suddenly forget the day or time? Or you can't remember when you turn around after eating?"

"...Yes." Xiao Rui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied calmly.

Gao Yi was shocked. Apart from knowing that His Majesty had headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, vomiting from time to time, loss of appetite, and body pain, he didn't know these symptoms. Seeing Li Ru'an's silence, he said with a deep heart, "Your Majesty, why don't you tell me if you feel these feelings?" come out?"

Xiao Rui stared at Li Ru'an, and said slowly, "I thought it was just the discomfort caused by the wind, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Miss Li, you can see all my symptoms, so can my illness be cured?"

Li Ru'an is very familiar with this disease. A middle-aged instructor in the organization had exactly the same symptoms. Western medicine diagnosed brain cancer at an advanced stage. The doctor said that surgery was useless, but the instructor insisted on surgery to remove the tumor. Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, still live less than a year.

Seeing her solemn expression, Xiao Huan knew that this disease must be difficult compared to his usual calmness, so he closed his eyes and felt extremely heavy in his heart.
