Views:

The Qibao Ring was lost like this, and no trace of it could be found again.

Li Wei and Princess Dun stayed at Sanqing Temple for another ten days, but Li Wei still insisted on going down the mountain for a walk every day. Sometimes she brought the guards herself, and sometimes she took Princess Dun along with her.

She still asked Cai Zhi and the Taoist nun who knew medicine to make pills and give them to the sick poor, and tried her best to help others.

While she was helping others, her own health was getting worse. She had migraines almost every day, followed by chest tightness and shortness of breath. At first, Cai Zhi helped with the treatment, but later she found that her medicine did not bring much effect, but she suggested: "Queen Mother, let's go back to the palace and ask the doctor to nurse her back to health. We will get better slowly. It's not far from the palace." Still too far.”

Li Wei felt comfortable living in Lishan Mountain, with freedom of entry and exit without so many rules.

But not only did Cai Zhi persuade her, but Concubine Dun also advised her: "Yes, Queen Mother, just listen to Cai Zhi. Although the mountains and rivers here are good, some places are still not as convenient as in the palace. Wait for you to treat your illness." Once you have recovered, we will come to stay for another ten days and a half next time. This life will last for a long time. Don’t you miss Ninth Princess?”

Unable to withstand the nagging of these people, Li Wei finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, let them pack their things, and we will go back to the palace tomorrow."

Seeing that the Queen Mother finally relaxed, Princess Dun felt a lot more comfortable. In fact, she missed her son, and she didn't know how Fukang was doing after being out for the past few days. But if the Queen Mother didn't speak, she wouldn't be able to run back first.

Now that she could finally go back to see her son, she felt happy.

The night before returning to the palace, the master of Qingyuan Temple prepared a table of vegetarian food for Li Wei and Princess Dun. She looked at Li Wei's face and said something to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, I have something I want to give to the Queen Mother."

Li Wei was a little surprised. She glanced at the Qingyuan Temple Master before saying, "If you have anything to say, Temple Master, please speak directly."

"Your Majesty, you have to truly let go and give up to get out of this predicament."

Li Wei frowned: "Does the temple owner think my illness is caused by obsessions in my heart that I can't let go of?"

The master of Qingyuan Temple continued: "Only by giving up can you gain something."

The master of Qingyuan Guan saw that Li Weiyintang was getting black and his illness was coming on quickly. He secretly thought that he might not be a reliable figure for a long time, so he added: "I asked for a talisman from Laojun, and now I am giving it to the Queen Mother, hoping to bring good luck to the Queen Mother." ”

As soon as the temple owner said this, a little Taoist boy came in with a square plate. There was a square piece of yellow paper folded on it, with spells written on it, and red silk thread wrapped around the yellow paper.

Li Wei bowed to the temple master before taking the talisman with his own hands.

The master of Qingyuan Temple added: "The Queen Mother can hang this talisman in the bed tent, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and removing filth."

Li Wei said, "Thank you." The master of Qingyuan temple also said: "I have been practicing with great concentration in recent days. After seven, seven and forty-nine days, I finally got a golden elixir yesterday. I don't have that blessing and dare not enjoy it myself. I hereby dedicate it to the Queen Mother and hope that the Queen Mother will be blessed." Zelianlian.”

Then another boy brought a green glass vase in the shape of a gourd. Li Wei took it, and the leader of Qingyuan Temple hesitated for a moment and then continued: "This golden elixir also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and can save people's lives at critical moments."

Return from the dead? ! Li Wei thought of the Lu family's ancestral secret recipe, which was also said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but it could not be used in every occasion. Fu Guang took the Huanhuan Dan to no avail. There is no way to bring the dead back to life.

But she still happily accepted the kindness of Qingyuan Temple Master.

After breakfast the next day, Li Wei and Princess Dun boarded the carriage back to the palace. She returned to Zhaoyang Palace and lived in a house she was familiar with. However, the bumpy journey back and forth made her feel more and more uncomfortable. Aunt Yun quickly asked Dr. Lu to come over and see Li Wei.

Doctor Lu quickly brought the medicine box over. After feeling the pulse, I just felt that the Queen Mother's pulse condition was not good, but I could not find the cause. He had no choice but to call Caizhi over to ask about the Queen Mother's physical condition these days.

"I diagnosed the Queen Mother's pulse as strong and strong, with a feeling of ups and downs. But I couldn't find the cause. I came to you to ask how the Queen Mother has been eating and sleeping in recent days, and what kind of reaction she has had."

Cai Zhi said: "The Queen Mother's migraine has worsened. My granddaughter has tried many methods but to no avail. In the past two days, she has suffered from chest tightness and shortness of breath, and her energy is no longer what it used to be."

After hearing this, Dr. Lu was surprised and said: "It doesn't quite match the pulse condition."

Cai Zhi added: "My granddaughter has given the queen mother the Soothing Liver and Liqi Pills for a few days, but they don't seem to have much effect. Grandpa, is my granddaughter's medicine wrong?"

Dr. Lu hurriedly said: "No, the medicine is also suitable for the symptoms, but why it has no effect, my grandpa can't explain."

Since Li Wei first entered the palace, Lu Chaoxian has become Li Wei's chief physician. Over the years, he has won Li Wei's respect for his medical skills and ethics. He has been able to find solutions in the past, but this time, he was a little helpless. Lu Chao first felt that it was difficult, so he had to ask other doctors for advice. They discussed the matter together with the pulse case, but in the end they could not come up with a solution.

Lan Hui wrapped the talisman given by the Master of Qingyuan Temple in an embroidered purse and hung the purse on the bedside. But for Li Wei, the magic talisman didn't seem to have much effect. She didn't sleep well every night. Even if she finally fell asleep, she always felt very noisy in her ears, like many people walking around. I walked back and forth but couldn't hear what those people were saying. In addition to the noisy human voices, there are also buzzing machines, sizzling electricity, and the faint sound of music.

Some light hurt her eyes. Li Wei struggled and she finally woke up from her dream and saw the dancing candlelight on the lampstand. Her face was wet with sweat and her hair was wet. She was breathing heavily, and her chest was rising and falling. It was just a sleep, but it was like climbing a high mountain.

"What time is it now?" Li Wei asked Qiu Chan who was napping next to him.

Qiu Chan rubbed her eyes, walked to the house next door and took a look at the clock, then came back and reported, "Return to the Empress, it's already Yinchu."

The night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. It was still early, so Li Wei lay down again. The weather has cooled down by this time, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance. This fragrance is the smell of the fragrant medicine in the engraved gold ball. The presence or absence of agarwood can help people sleep.

She closed her eyes again, but she couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned on the bed, and she seemed to be able to hear her own breathing. While tossing and turning, she remembered the scene in her dream just now. Where did those noisy sounds come from? Could it be from that world. Is she going back
