Chapter 55
The next day, when Li Ru'an just woke up, a court lady came to invite her. After a simple wash, she quickly walked to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"Ai's family heard that the emperor woke up last night, and no one came to inform Ai's family. How is the emperor's illness?" the queen mother hurriedly asked when she saw someone.

"Empress Dowager, don't worry. Your Majesty's illness is still caused by a head wind. My uncle and my courtiers have already suppressed it. The courtiers will go over and give your Majesty the injection later." Li Ru'an helped her sit down and said with a smile.

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's so good, then let's have breakfast before going, you were tired last night."

"Yes." Li Ru'an looked at the wrinkles in the corners of the queen mother's eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, how cruel it is for a mother to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

Xiao Rui went to the morning court as before, and returned to the Imperial Study Room. The new commander of the Forbidden Army came to report. Fang Tianming tortured Fang Tianming, but he just complained that he was wronged. Fang Tianyu, the former commander of the Forbidden Army who colluded with Yue Hou, had escaped from the capital and disappeared. The forehead that started to ache faintly, and the symptoms left by the golden elixir appeared again, and the whole body felt uncomfortable, so he waved his hands to make people retreat.

"Your Majesty, the prince, the eldest prince, Imperial Physician Gao and Miss Li are already waiting in Chengguang Hall." Eunuch Cao came in and bowed to report.

"Return to Chengguang Palace."

----

On the dragon bed, Xiao Rui was wearing a light top, and looked at the calm and calm girl in white in front of the bed in surprise. Cao Zhi told him about the acupuncture last night, so he thought it would be the same today, and Gao Yi administered the acupuncture.

Gao Yi next to him frowned. When An An said this morning that he was going to administer the needle himself, he was taken aback.

"An'an, it's better to say that the acupuncture point uncle will give the acupuncture."

Li Ru'an cleaned his hands in the basin, and said lightly, "It's not that Ru'an can't trust uncle, but today's acupuncture is not for piercing acupuncture points, but for eradicating His Majesty's pain, and there is no need to undress, so it's okay."

"Eradication? But An An didn't mean that he couldn't..." Gao Yi was surprised and Xiao Rui looked at each other in the same way.

"How'an mean that you can eradicate brother Huang's headache?" Xiao Huan asked doubtfully.

Li Ru'an wiped his hands and explained calmly, "There is no cure, the minister will use needles to paralyze the pain nerves in your majesty's head, and your majesty will no longer have headache symptoms, but the root cause of the disease is still there, but your majesty can't feel it. For other symptoms, the minister will write down a detailed acupuncture point map, and ask uncle to give acupuncture to suppress His Majesty at regular intervals."

Pain, nerve?The three of them looked at each other again, not knowing why, they found that they had never heard of many names in Li Ruan's mouth.

"You mean that I won't have headaches in the days to come?" Xiao Rui was deeply affected by this wind syndrome, and he was really troubled, so he asked carefully.

"Yes, this is the only thing a courtier can do."

"Very good, you don't have to be ashamed. I have been troubled by this wind for many years, and now it is an extra blessing to me." Seeing the disappointment on the girl's face, Xiao Rui said with a smile, and then Frowning, "I have a severe headache now, can I take the pill first?"

"No, I need to ask Your Majesty how you feel when you give the needle later, so that you can confirm whether you have been completely paralyzed." Li Ru'an took out a bottle of iodophor from his sleeve, and a steel needle about five inches long, which is more expensive than ordinary needles. Much thicker.

For Xiao Rui who knew his own life expectancy, it was a comforting thing that he would not have to suffer from pain in the last days, so that he would have enough energy to arrange everything. He smiled and nodded, seeing that Xiao Huan's eyes were always affectionate. Focusing on the girl, he sighed in relief, if he could see his brother who owed him for many years get married before he died, he would have the face to meet the late king.

The imperial guards outside the Chengguang Hall were heavily guarded, there were only five people in the hall, and Eunuch Cao stood outside the gate.

Xiao Huan and Xiao Yan stood aside with a serious expression, Xiao Rui sat upright and bowed his head, his collar was wide open to reveal the back of his neck, Li Ru'an dipped a clean kerchief with iodophor for simple disinfection.

"Your Majesty, the pain will be very painful after the maid gives the needle, and it will subside after the maid finds the place to inject the needle. Please try to keep still during the process, and report any slight feelings at any time."

"En." Xiao Rui lowered his head, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Li Ru'an held the long needle in his right hand, pressed the other hand on the back of Xiao Rui's neck, and moved it down the back of the neck inch by inch, pointing it with his finger, the long needle in his right hand fell, and the thinner needle had penetrated three inches.

Xiao Rui frowned, only to feel his spine tense suddenly, a stiffness rose from the tailbone of the dragon, he remained motionless, and the fingers on his knees moved slightly.

Li Ru'an concentrated on holding the end of the needle and turned to the left, then inserted an inch, a drop of blood oozed out, heard Xiao Rui gritted his teeth, his body trembled slightly, and there was sweat on his forehead.

"Hold Your Majesty, Uncle, and wipe the blood."

Gao Yi quickly wiped off the falling blood, Xiao Huan and Xiao Yan supported Xiao Rui from left to right, only then did he feel his shoulder muscles beating unconsciously.

Li Ru'an raised the needle that had been inserted obliquely by half an inch, and then turned to the left. Xiao Rui's body tensed instantly, and he gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan. A large bead of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"Father!"

"Brother Emperor!"

Xiao Huan and Xiao Yan felt the violent beating of the muscles under his hands, which showed how severe Xiao Rui's pain was.

"Hold on, don't move!" Li Ru'an was well aware of the pain, he gritted his teeth and inserted the needle two inches upwards, finally avoiding the Dazhui point and entering the nerve plexus below the Dazhui point.

Xiao Rui was already sweating profusely, beads of sweat dripping down his resolute chin, he clenched his teeth to resist the severe pain like bone cracks all over his body, he groaned a few times, and exhaled quickly, but he couldn't suppress the trembling of his body .

The other three grasped his arms together, watching in horror as Li Ru'an Subai's slender fingertips, the big long needle shining with cold light was pressed left, right, up and down.

"Do you feel numb?" Li Ruan asked in one place.

"No!" Xiao Rui took a breath to resist the severe pain in his entire spine, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word.

Li Ru'an changed positions three times in a row and asked three times. His smooth and clean forehead was slightly wet. Finally, when he stabbed for the fourth time, Xiao Rui froze. He felt numbness and dull pain at the same time. Tightening his body, he squeezed out a numb word, and before he finished speaking, Li Ru'an pressed the needle and turned it down.

Just when Xiao Rui felt that he was about to pass out from the pain in the next second, his spine suddenly relaxed, and the severe pain that penetrated into the bone marrow dissipated without a trace in an instant, leaving only a cool numbness.

"Hehe!" Xiao Rui instantly relaxed and limp, opened his eyes and panted heavily, dripping with sweat as if he had been fished out of the water.

The others breathed a sigh of relief, relieved their almost suffocating hearts, supported Xiao Rui's limp body, and watched the girl slowly pull out the long needle and wipe off the blood, leaving only a small needle hole on the back of her neck.

"Help Your Majesty back to bed and lie down." Li Ru'an said as he slightly roasted the long needle and put it back into the needle bag, and then took out the ordinary filiform needle.

Xiao Rui lay limp on the bed, panting for a long time, compared with the previous quarter of an hour, it was like being in heaven at this moment.

"Your Majesty, my daughter wants to test the effect of the needle." After Li Ru'an finished speaking, he injected a few needles in each of Xiao Rui's ears, and was relieved when he saw that he did not feel any discomfort and pulled out the needles.

"Okay."

Gao Yi, who had been pinching the sweat for her, let go of his heart heavily, only to realize that he was already drenched in sweat. He really admired his niece's courage, no wonder he wanted to do it himself, the needle in the emperor's neck still saw blood, let alone He, even his father Gao Kuang may not dare to do it, and if it is spread, it will be a treasonous crime.

"How does your Majesty feel?" Seeing Xiao Rui gradually calm down, Li Ru'an asked in a low voice.

"Very good. I haven't felt so comfortable for many years. I just feel very sleepy." Xiao Rui said slowly with his heavy eyelids open, only feeling fluttering and weak all over.

"After the severe pain, exhaustion is inevitable, Your Majesty, please rest in peace."
