Concubine Jinggui sat in the seat to the east and said with tears in her eyes: "Queen Mother, you must take care of yourself. Not long after the late emperor left, you fell ill again. How can we do this without someone in the palace who can make the decision?"

Li Wei remembered that she did fall ill shortly after the death of the late emperor, and she slowly recovered from the twelfth lunar month to the end of February next year. It wasn't a serious illness, but maybe he was tired due to the late emperor's affairs and failed to take good care of himself, so he gradually fell ill.

Soon after she fell ill, Concubine Jinggui and Concubine Qi took charge of the Sixth Palace for her, temporarily helping her manage the affairs of the harem. It was only after she recovered that she took the matter into her own hands.

Li Wei said calmly: "With the help of Concubine Gui and Concubine Qi, I can rest assured. It is not a serious illness that can kill people. If you take care of it slowly, you will get better." Li Wei said and looked at Princess Ping asked with concern: "How many months pregnant is the princess?"

Princess Ping replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, my concubine is already six months pregnant."

Li Wei heard this and nodded: "It is the most relaxed and comfortable time. The princess should move around more to make it easier to give birth in the future."

Li Wei called Wan Su and asked Princess Ping to reward Princess Ping with some medicinal materials that were nourishing and beneficial to the fetus. Princess Ping thanked her for the reward, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat for a while before leaving.

The sky gradually darkened, and the last trace of clouds was swallowed up by the ink clouds next to it.

The lamps everywhere in the Chongqing Palace have been lit up one after another. Over there in the Xinuan Pavilion, Wan Su and the palace ladies are preparing dinner. Li Wei stood on the corridor, looking up at the growing dusk.

Are you really back? She came back when she least wanted to. Why come back? How did you come back? She remembered that Xiang Hailan came to pick her up after returning from a business trip to the Magic City, but there was a car accident on the way. She couldn't remember what happened after that. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was here. Was it that her body had died at that time and space, so her soul had returned to its original body and the one before the incident. moon.

She was not from that era, but now she has returned to her own era. Standing under this ancient sky, as far as the eye can see is the majestic palace, which is the symbol of this dynasty. She is the woman who stands at the top of this dynasty. .

Although he was honored all over his body, Li Wei's heart was desolate. What is the use of being a woman who lives in the harem and waits to die? After all, she is also a top student who has graduated from college. She also studied abroad for a year and successfully gilded herself. Having hosted so many columns, she is dignified and generous in front of the camera, and has gained a loyal audience of her own. It is a guarantee of the TV station's ratings, and it can be said that the future is unlimited. But all of this seemed like a dream yesterday, and it completely separated her from that dream.

She really didn't like it here, she had long been tired of the loneliness and depression in this palace. Why let her come back again. Li Wei thought of her parents, her second brother, her colleagues and her friends. Her roots were there. Could it be that she would never see them again in this life. She didn't even have time to say a proper goodbye.

The corners of her eyes were a little moist, and she couldn't help but hold the handkerchief and gently wipe the corners of her eyes.

When the palace people saw it, they thought it was the Queen Mother who was missing the late Emperor again, and no one dared to dissuade her.

At this time, a young figure ran towards her as briskly as a swallow. Li Wei took a closer look and saw that he was not her poor and miserable little emperor.

After Fu Guang saw his adoptive mother, his originally depressed mood became excited again. When he arrived, he saluted her adoptive mother and said, "Bless me, Queen Mother."

Li Wei looked at the child in front of her. The sadness in her eyes had been forced back. She tried her best to smile and waved the little emperor to him. There were many attendants of the little emperor standing in the courtyard, busy saluting Li Wei.

Li Wei didn't even look at them, and took the little emperor's hand to Xinuang Pavilion alone. The food has been set here, and the waiters are standing at the bottom.

Li Wei took Fu Guang's hand and asked him to sit down.

The nanny in front of me came to serve the dishes. Fu Guang seemed to have lost weight in the past few days, and her face was full of exhaustion. Li Wei asked with concern: "Is the homework difficult? How is the master's teaching?"

Little Fuguang didn't want his mother to worry about him, so he replied with a smile: "The master is very good, and the homework is not difficult."

"That's good, just follow and learn." Li Wei tidied his son's hair around his ears, and then served Fu Guang himself.

Such an older child, placed in that time and space, was just a kid who had just entered elementary school, but Fu Guang was different. He was responsible for this dynasty at a young age. She looked at the child's immature face and remembered that she had been poisoned to death before, and those people would never let Fu Guang go. It was pity that he was still a child. Could it be just because he was born in an emperor's family, just because he was sitting on the dragon throne and blocking the way? Is it because I have violated the ways of those people that I ended up with such a fate? It didn't matter that she died, but this child in front of her... Li Wei couldn't bear it. If she really couldn't go back, as the queen mother of a country and the emperor's adoptive mother, she should always protect Fu Guang so that he could grow up safely and smoothly, and live up to her eldest sister's instructions before her death and the late emperor's instructions.

Fu Guang ate a few mouthfuls of food, but when his mother never moved her chopsticks, he put down his chopsticks in a sullen voice. Li Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Emperor, what's wrong with you? Is the food bad?"

Fu Guang nodded and said, "It's not delicious."

"Good boy, how can you be picky about food when you are growing up? Only by eating well can you grow up quickly. As long as you are strong, it will not be easy for someone to touch you."

Fu Guang looked at his adoptive mother blankly, and Li Wei personally scooped a spoonful of soup to feed Fu Guang. Fu Guang blushed slightly and murmured, "I can do it myself."

"Good boy, eat more."

"Mother, please have a meal too."

She didn't use the cup of Gu Yuan Ointment that Wan Su brought to her, and she didn't eat all afternoon. She was a little hungry. The familiar food in front of her looked quite appetizing, so she ate with the emperor. But the food tasted very bland in her mouth, and she missed the food at home. Will I never be able to see those parents again

After taking a few mouthfuls, Li Wei couldn't swallow it. She turned her head and wiped away the tears that rolled down.

"Mother, my son will definitely be obedient, study hard with his master, and listen to the regent's teachings. Don't be sad, my son will be filial to my mother and relieve my mother's worries... "

Li Wei turned around and saw that the little emperor was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to himself to apologize. Li Wei hurriedly went over and pulled Fu Guang up.

"The ground is hard, be careful of knee pain. Good boy, the queen mother is not feeling well, it's not because of you, don't blame yourself. Eat well, go back and go to bed early after eating."

After Fu Guang finished his meal, Li Wei called the eunuch and the nanny who were serving the little emperor closely to ask about the emperor's daily life. She asked in detail, and the nun's chambermaid also answered very carefully. .

Finally, Li Wei nodded and said: "Be careful everywhere. The emperor is still young, so you have to be careful and don't be careless."

After the explanation, Fu Guang bowed to Li Wei and returned to his palace.
