Wei Luo slept for a long time this time, never reaching the hour, and there was not even a sign of waking up in the middle.
She slept here in a dim light, but because Liang Yurong and the others were worried about her health, they didn't stay longer in Peach Blossom Forest, and hurried back. Before Zhao Jie took her away, he had explained to Jin Lu that Jin Lu had his own sense of propriety, and for the sake of her own lady's innocence, she couldn't talk nonsense. So Liang Yurong and the others only knew that she was unwell and in unbearable pain. It happened that Zhao Jie rode through the Peach Blossom Forest and brought her back along the way.
In fact, it was true, except for what Zhao Jie did at the gate of the corner gate, everything else was serious and there was nothing wrong with it.
After Liang Yurong came back from Peach Blossom Forest, she wanted to visit Wei Luo, but unfortunately she heard from Bai Lan that she was still awake, so she had to go back to her room first. It wasn't just her, Wei Changhong also came two or three times, during which time Wei Luo's room door was closed tightly, and he didn't go in to disturb her, but only told Bai Lan to take good care of Wei Luo's body.
Bai Lan responded repeatedly.
Early the next morning, Wei Changhong came over again, just in time for Wei Luo to wake up.
At this time, Wei Luo's pain had eased a lot, and her complexion had become rosy, not as pale as yesterday. She took the wet towel from Jin Lu, wiped her face, washed up, and sat behind the nanmu round table to invite Chang Hong to have breakfast together. The vegetarian meals in the temple are all vegetarian dishes. At a glance, there are only tofu buns, radish cakes, emerald millet porridge and a few pickled side dishes on the table. Wei Luo picked up a chopstick of eight-treasure tofu and put it in his mouth. The tofu was fresh and tender, mixed with crumbs of shiitake mushrooms, mushroom crumbs, and pine nuts. The mouth was full of fragrance and endless aftertaste.
Although it is a vegetarian meal, it is more exquisitely prepared than ordinary rough tea and light rice.
Wei Luo is not picky about this aspect. The food she ate in her previous life was much worse than this, so that now she can accept both simple food and light food, and she is also used to eating delicacies. What's more, she was too tired from going up the mountain yesterday, and she woke up early in the morning with an empty stomach, so she was already very hungry, so how could she be picky? As long as you give her a bowl of emerald millet porridge, she can eat it with relish.
She is used to eating, but it does not mean that everyone is used to eating.
At the same time, Wei Zheng on the other side was very dissatisfied.
Wei Zheng lived in a room at the end of the east corridor, three or four rooms away from her. Right now, he got angry at the servants and drove the two servant girls out.
The two maids came out of the house and passed Wei Luo's room.
Wei Luo happened to overhear such a conversation—
Among them, the maid in a purple shirt and white dress complained: "Miss Fifth is really embarrassing, there are no eggs in this temple, but she insists on eating scrambled eggs with yuqian..."
Another maid wearing a silver hairpin was also very distressed, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, who told us to be servants, it's true to find a way to get it for Miss Fifth."
The two gradually moved away, and the voice disappeared.
Wei Luo picked up a chopstick of pickled radish, put it in his mouth, and bit into it until it sizzled.
Wei Zheng is hypocritical, what's wrong with eating a vegetarian meal? The temple was originally a place to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. She came here but didn't abide by the rules here. Didn't she deliberately find fault? If the abbot finds out, she must be kicked out.
Sure enough, the two maids finally came back empty-handed, bowed their heads and pleaded guilty to Wei Zheng. It was useless for Wei Zheng to scold them all the time, and finally stared at the green vegetable porridge on the table, frowned in distaste, pushed it aside and said, "Don't eat, bring me a snack pad to cushion my stomach."
This time, I brought a few snacks from the British government. I originally ate them on the road, but I didn’t expect them to come in handy now.
After finishing speaking, seeing the two servant girls standing still, she asked, "What's wrong?"
The servant girl lowered her head and said, "Miss Hui, you finished the rest of the dim sum last night..."
It turned out that Wei Zheng was not happy to use the vegetarian meal last night, and ate the only two or three pieces of butter puff pastry, now there are no more, so how can he get them out? After hearing this, Wei Zheng felt even more depressed, and didn't want to eat vegetable porridge, so he changed into a white silk blouse and crepe skirt on an empty stomach, and walked out of the guest room.
When he passed by Wei Luo's door, he saw that she happened to take a bite out of a tofu bun, so he snorted disdainfully and walked past her door.
In the room, Wei Changhong frowned dissatisfiedly, put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'll go and talk about her."
Wei Zheng and Wei Luo never got along, Wei Zheng never took Wei Luo seriously. They have grown up in the past two years, Wei Zheng has more eyes than when he was a child, not as impetuous as when he was a child, and gradually calmed down, hiding everything in his heart. She knew that she was no match for Wei Zheng, Wei Kun and Wei Changhong were both protecting Wei Luo, not to mention Wei Luo was backed by Princess Tianji and King Jing Zhao Jie, so she would not openly provoke Wei Luo like she did when she was a child, Leave a handle. She would just watch her coldly, and sneer at her occasionally when she was unhappy.
Wei Luo held him down, bent her lips, and said softly, "What do you care about her? It's her business if she doesn't eat. We not only have to eat, but also have to be full." As she spoke, she poured food into Wei Changhong's bowl. Picking up a piece of carrot cake, he told me very considerately: "Eat this, it will fill your stomach."
Today they will definitely go down the mountain, and they have to walk a long mountain road down the mountain. What if they don't have a full stomach? Wei Zheng didn't eat, and would faint on the road due to exhaustion, but no one would carry her.
At the moment of time, the eldest lady came to the Daxiong Palace.
She stood in front of the stick, hesitating. There are a total of 288 lots placed here, but only the last one is the top lottery. Only by drawing this lottery will you have the opportunity to meet the eminent monk Qingxuan. She held the servant girl's hand, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the lottery for a long time before making a decision. She closed her eyes and drew a lottery until the monk at the side urged her, and without looking at it, she handed it to the monk at the side.
The monk took it and told her calmly: "The one hundred and thirteenth lottery, Zhongji."
Da Furen's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, she was very lost.
It seems that today is doomed not to see the eminent monk.
She turned around and walked out, in a bad mood. Seeing this, the servant girl at the side comforted her softly: "It's okay, ma'am, the big deal is that we don't leave today, and come back to draw lots tomorrow. If it doesn't work tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow... There is always a chance, the young master's legs are so I have been here for many years, and I am not in a hurry for this moment."
Having said that, the eldest lady still couldn't hide the sadness on her face. It is precisely because Wei Changyin's legs have been dragging for so many years that she is more eager. She doesn't want to give up if there is even a little bit of hope.
About to walk out of the Daxiong Palace, I saw a little girl standing at the door. Wei Luo came to her wearing an apricot-colored floral-pattern blouse and a sky-blue crepe skirt. With a smile in his eyes, he called crisply, "Auntie."
The eldest lady regained her composure and forced a smile: "Ah Luo." Immediately she asked, "Why did you come here so early, what's the matter?"
She smiled and said nothing, walked to the monk beside the stick, took out a stick from her sleeve and handed it over, and asked, "Look, is this a lottery?"
The monk took it and looked at it, and it was indeed the lottery of this temple, and the words "two hundred and eighty-eight" were written in red letters on the underside of this lottery, which was exactly the sign on the top. The monk didn't know how she got it, but since the lottery was in her hands, she had to abide by the rules of the monastery. He stood up and said, "The benefactor, please follow me."
Wei Luo winked at the eldest lady, and wisely said, "Auntie, you can go quickly."
The eldest lady was very surprised. Although she was pleasantly surprised, she still couldn't help asking: "Ah Luo, where did you get this stick?"
Wei Luo put her hands behind her back, raised her lips and said, "This lottery was given to me this morning. He probably won this lottery, and he has no doubts, so there is no need for it." Madam pushed forward and urged: "Don't waste time, Auntie, hurry up and go in."
The eldest lady was very grateful to her, and said three "yes" quickly with red eyes, and then turned around and followed the monk into the back of the treasure hall.
Wei Luo stood behind her, watching her back. I couldn't help but think, this time I hope Abbot Qingxu can answer her doubts and tell her where to heal Wei Changyin's leg. In this way, no one will stop Liang Yurong and Wei Changyin from being together, and she doesn't have to feel sorry for them anymore. In this life, maybe they can have a good ending.
As for this lottery... it was given to her by Zhu Geng this morning.
At that time she had just woken up, Zhu Geng appeared at the door, without saying anything else, he just handed the lottery to her and said: "My lord ordered me to hand it over to Fourth Miss, please keep it."
She didn't even mention it yesterday, so Zhao Jie knew that she wanted to see Qing Huang as the host? Wei Luo accepted the lottery, held it in front of him and looked at it, if he could get this, he should have a close relationship with Abbot Qingxu, right? Otherwise, how could you walk through the back door like no one else
Not long after, Da Furen came out of Abbot Qing Wang's room.
She had just explained Wei Changyin's situation, and then asked Abbot Qinghuang two questions: one was whether Wei Changyin's leg could be cured, and the other was if there was a cure, who should he ask for it. Abbot Qingxu only answered her previous question, and there must be a way to answer it. It's just that the person who can treat Wei Changyin's leg injury has no fixed place and travels all over the world. It's really not easy to find him.
Da Furen asked him about the situation of that person, and he said earnestly: "His name is Fu Xingyun, and he is a doctor who has rejuvenated his body. Almost no one has seen him these years, and he has not appeared in the eyes of everyone for a long time."
In other words, this person may have lived in seclusion, or he may have died, it is unknown. Even if he is found, whether he is willing to treat Wei Changyin's leg disease is another matter.
After receiving this news, the eldest lady was in a mixed mood. She was both hopeful and sad because she couldn't find Fu Xingyun.
She walked back to the room with heavy steps, ordered the servant girl to pack up her luggage, and informed everyone that she would go down the mountain and return home in a while.
After receiving the news, each room knew that the matter she wanted to ask had come to an end, so they didn't rush to ask, they packed up their things first, and followed the eldest lady down the mountain together. Although the way down the mountain is not as tiring as going up the mountain, it is not easy. Because of the steep slope, you need to be careful when walking, otherwise you will fall down if you don't pay attention.
Not long after, everyone felt their legs were weak and tired.
The eldest lady was thinking about finding a place to rest for a while, when she heard an exclamation from behind, she hurriedly stopped, turned around and looked back—
I saw Wei Zheng sitting on the stone steps, looking embarrassed and pale. She had just fallen down three or four flights of steps and hit her arm on the floor in excruciating pain. Not only that, but her back was in great pain when she was on the steps. Seeing everyone looking at her one after another, her face froze and she was a little embarrassed.
Her maid Yinlou panicked and helped her up: "Miss, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"
Wei Zheng shook his head, stood up and said, "It's okay..."
She didn't have breakfast today, and the hunger in the mansion was unbearable, coupled with the constant walking on the mountain road, her physical strength was exhausted, she was already dizzy and unable to walk. Just now, she was careless and stepped on the ground. She only felt that the scene in front of her changed, and before she had time to call for help, she fell heavily to the ground. There were waves of pain in her arm, and she must have been blue now, but unfortunately she couldn't check the condition of the injury, so she had to support Yinlou and continue walking down.
The eldest lady and the other ladies had a few words of concern, and when they saw that she said she was fine, they didn't ask any more questions.
Enduring hunger and dizziness, Wei Zheng cautiously went down the mountain when two people happened to pass by.
Wei Changhong carried Wei Luo on his back and walked with ease. When passing by her, he didn't even look at her and walked over without looking sideways. Wei Luo, on the other hand, tilted her head and looked at her with the corners of her lips curled up, with a look of pity in her eyes.
What did she pity her for? What is there for her to be pitied
Wei Zheng bit his lower lip, watched them walk away, and involuntarily clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand.
The speed of going down the mountain was faster than going up the mountain. It took only half an hour for them to stand at the foot of the mountain. The black-painted horse-drawn carriage of the British government parked on the side of the road, presumably it had been waiting for a long time. Wei Zheng was the last one to come down from the mountain. When she came down, her face was unbearably pale, her footsteps were sloppy, almost half of her body fell on the servant girl, her temple hair was loose, and she looked a bit embarrassed.
Those who didn't know the truth thought she had suffered some kind of disaster.
The eldest lady asked about her situation again, and when she shook her head and said she was fine, she looked away.
Wei Zheng has a good face, and absolutely refuses to say that it is because she didn't eat breakfast. She would rather let people misunderstand that she is not feeling well, and she doesn't explain much.
Seeing that everyone was present, the eldest lady let everyone get into the carriages and prepared to go back to the British government.
As soon as the words were finished, a Wang Qinggai car came slowly from behind and stopped in front of them steadily. After the carriage stopped, his slender and slender hands raised the curtain embroidered with golden cloud patterns. Zhao Jie, wearing a brocade robe with dark green persimmon stalk pattern, stepped down from the carriage, his black pupils swept across the crowd, and his eyes stared at Wei Luo unobtrusively. It stayed on the body for a moment, and then landed on the eldest lady.
It was only then that the eldest lady realized that he was also in the Thousand Buddha Temple these two days, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have seen His Highness Prince Jing, but I didn't know that His Highness Prince Jing was also in the temple. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Zhao Jie bent his lips and looked very easy-going, "It's okay, this king is traveling in modest clothes, and he didn't tell others, Madam, don't worry."
Da furen nodded yes, and said a few more polite words before taking her farewell.
"The concubines send off the prince respectfully." She led a group of people to salute.
Zhao Jie got on the carriage, and before leaving, he went to Wei Luo's side to have a look. The little girl was looking at him, but after meeting his gaze, for some reason, her delicate pink face froze, and then she turned her head to avoid his gaze.
