Views:

Facing Li Wei's question, Princess Dun felt that it was a taunt to her, but time had passed and it was no longer so painful to think about it.

"That's because of you, Queen Mother. At that time, Prince Shen rejected me seriously, saying that he already had someone in mind and didn't want to find a replacement. I asked him who he was, but he didn't tell me the answer. It was only after many years that I gradually learned the truth. When you were living in the temple with the Queen Mother, and you were so ill and in urgent need of medicine, I knew it was him who secretly brought you medicine and returned home. I almost broke my leg on the road. From then on, I knew that I was not defeated by others, but by you."

"You like him very much, right?"

Faced with such a straightforward and bold question, Concubine Dun felt shy in her heart. She did not escape the question and said that sentence for the first time in her life: "Yes, I like him. I have never met him." I liked him very much from the first meeting, so I am jealous of you, jealous that you occupy everything in his heart. "

Quite frankly. Li Wei still looked calm, took a slow sip of red date tea, and then said: "Sister, you are wrong too, none of us have really got him. We are so trapped in this palace that we can't even struggle. ”

"Why did you go to the palace? Become his sister-in-law and let him suffer all kinds of torture?"

"Is your fate your own choice?" Li Wei asked, and then added: "If I could choose by myself, I would never enter the palace."

Concubine Dun looked at Li Wei. Li Wei was not in good condition. She was panting slightly and her face was as white as snow. I have been ill for a long time, and my skin is no longer as bright and bright as before. It's this sickly look that makes Zhao Qian feel distressed, right? When Princess Dun thought of this, she felt stabbed in her heart. She was a loser, and she had always been like that.

Li Weiyun calmed down and said calmly: "I have nothing more to ask, please leave. Remember, we will never see each other again."

Concubine Dun bowed to Li Wei and saluted. Li Wei tilted his head to get the tea bowl. Concubine Dun bowed and left.

It was getting late, it was dark outside, and the chirping of insects disturbed one's dreams.

Li Wei walked to the window and wanted to listen carefully to the insects' concerto for a while.

Li Xing walked in quietly and stood behind Li Wei for a long time. Li Wei knew that she didn't turn around from behind. After a while, he said to Li Xing: "I wrongly blamed you before, I'm sorry."

Li Xing said calmly: "It's okay. I also have something wrong."

"Mother wants me to arrange a reliable home for you. Do you have someone you like?"

Li Xing looked at Li Wei with some surprise. Li Wei noticed the slip of the tongue, then turned around and said to her: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

"It's okay sister."

"I still want to live a few more years and see you have a destination with my own eyes. Only then will I be satisfied with Jiu'er's happiness. I don't know if God can hear my wish."

"The Queen Mother is ill and it is not suitable to think so much. Recuperating with peace of mind and recovering early is the top priority."

Li Wei looked out the window. From this angle, she could only see a small patch of sky. The stars were sparse in the dark night sky, but she could still see the brightest star at a glance.

No matter it is the God of the East or the God of the West, I hope you can hear my voice at this moment and let me get what I want. Li Wei clasped his hands together and silently made a wish to Venus.

The next day, several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital gathered together and came to Zhaoyang Hall, where they consulted on Queen Mother Rongxian's illness. Li Wei lay on the Arhat bed and allowed them to check his pulse, and he was very cooperative.

Several imperial doctors checked his pulse and then went to the side hall to discuss the condition.

As soon as the doctors left, Shujia quietly ran to the next door room and eavesdropped on the conversation of several doctors.

Li Wei didn't take it seriously, and still asked Yu Chang to bring the book to her to read. Unfortunately, he felt a headache after reading only a few lines, and in the end he couldn't even pretend to do it.

At the palace maid's scream, Li Wei had already fainted.

Fortunately, the imperial doctors were all in Zhaoyang Palace, and they hurriedly went to call them over.

Several doctors with excellent medical skills gathered here, pinched the man's middle, pinched the tiger's mouth, and finally administered the needle. After doing what they had to do, everyone left again.

The side hall was quiet, no one spoke. Everyone is waiting for the Queen Mother to wake up, or they don't know if she will wake up yet.

Seeing that her mother was unconscious, Shujia had already run to the bed, knelt on the footrest, shedding silent tears, tightly grasped her mother's hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Mother, mother, please Please wake up and take a look at Jiu'er. Jiu'er will listen to you and study hard and won't make you sad."

But no matter how Shujia shouted, Li Wei didn't respond.

Two quarters of an hour later, Cai Zhi came in and removed the needle stuck in Li Wei's body. Shujia pulled Caizhi and asked with tears in her eyes: "Sister Caizhi, can my queen mother not wake up?"

Caizhi signaled Shujia to be quiet, and then she took Li Wei's pulse. After taking the pulse, she asked someone to stay close to her, and then she pulled Shujia out.

"Don't worry, princess, the Queen Mother will definitely wake up."

Shujia still asked nervously: "Will the Queen Mother die?"

Caizhi shook her head desperately and said: "Princess, you must not say such unlucky words. The Queen Mother is just tired and a little weak. She is getting better slowly, but she will definitely be fine."

Shujia listened to Caizhi's words with doubts. Until Li Xing arrived, Shujia walked to Li Xing's side. Li Xing took her hand and said to her gently: "Princess, don't worry."

When Li Wei woke up, it was already the time when the sky was filled with colorful clouds. She was sweating all over and felt that her bones were sore, as if she had run five thousand meters.

There was still a person sitting by the bed, but that person was her mother.

Mrs. Fu was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, but she couldn't seem to wipe them away.

"Mother!"

Li Wei called out roughly.

Mrs. Fu then turned to look at Li Wei, with a smile on her face: "Awei, you finally woke up."

"I'm really sorry for making my mother sad."

"Don't be so scary. If you make a scene like this, half of my mother's life will be scared away."

"It's the child's fault that the mother is worried. Brother Six, has he sent any letters back recently?"

"Yes, yes, he said he is doing well in Yunnan and his official career is also smooth. Let us not worry about him."

Li Wei said: "That's good. Do you still blame me for my mother's sixth brother?"

Mrs. Fu quickly said: "It's a foregone conclusion, why should I complain about you? Although he is far away now, he is now stable, which can be regarded as benevolence."

"It's not peaceful there recently and needs to be taken care of. He didn't come back after his father's death. The regent stole his love and asked him to continue guarding the border. In another year and a half, he might be able to come back and reunite with his family. You Don't blame him."

"I blame him for what he did. If he is a good official, your father will be happy to know."
