Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Supper was a snack brought from Chongqing Palace’s own kitchen, and Li Wei ate a little.

Then I have to go to bed right away, and I have to leave before dawn.

She took Shujia by her side and slept with herself. When she slept in the middle of the night, Shujia's body was hot, and Li Wei was taken aback. The child was fine during the day, but suddenly he had a fever. She lifted the curtain and called for someone to come in: "The nine princesses are sick. Go and ask Dr. Lu for a look."

It was Lan Hui who was going to spread the word. There were not many maids who followed the palace. Lan Hui had to ran into the outer courtyard by himself at night, and just ran into Zhao Qian.

When Zhao Qian saw that it was the grand palace lady next to Li Wei, he asked, "Is the queen mother still asleep?"

Lan Hui said hurriedly: "Back to the prince, the nine princesses are sick, and the empress is anxious. It is going to pass the doctor Lu."

When Zhao Qian heard that, he raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm just going to find Doctor Lu there. Then I will help you with the conversation. You can go back first."

Lan Hui heard that the regent was willing to do it for her, and she was grateful.

After only a quarter of an hour, Zhao Qian took the doctor Lu to the bedroom of the queen mother. But when Li Wei saw that Zhao Qian and Doctor Lu had come together, she was still a little surprised. The secret path ran into her room in the middle of the night, making people see what it was. But it's not the time to care about this, she held Shu Jia in her arms, and hurriedly said to the doctor Lu: "You come to see what is going on with the nine princesses."

The doctor Lu walked forward and asked the queen mother to lay the child flat on the bed, and a little court lady held the candlestick in his hand. Li Wei stood underneath and looked inward anxiously, will she be okay with Shujia? Recalling that Shujia didn't seem to be ill before, why did she meet him this time.

Just when she was uneasy, someone in the dim shook her hand quietly, and the palm of that person was wide and warm. But Li Wei swiftly pulled away like an electric shock, then turned his head and glared fiercely, Zhao Qian gave him a warning.

The doctor Lu showed Shujia carefully, and said to Li Wei: "The queen mother, the nine princesses are caused by wind-heat intrusion, white herpes can be seen in the mouth, fever and throat swelling and soreness can be seen in the initial stage. It needs detoxification to relieve the throat. Moisture and fever."

"Does it matter?"

Doctor Lu said: "The condition is fierce, but as long as you take good care of it and keep up with the treatment, you will be able to heal slowly in five or six days. Weichen suggested that the nine princesses should be returned to the palace for treatment. During this period, you should not interact with other children. , Afraid of cross infection."

Li Wei thought about it for a while, then called the Ninth Princess' nanny and said: "Tomorrow morning you brought the Ninth Princess, I will send a few more guards, you go back to the palace first, and take good care of it."

The nurse said yes, then Grand Doctor Lu went to dispense the medicine for the nine princesses.

The doctor Lu had already gone out, but Zhao Qian was still in Li Wei's bedroom. Li Wei urged with a calm face, "The regent is rude, don't you go out soon."

Zhao Qian glanced at the people in the room who were waiting for Li Wei with all his heart. He didn't care much, and whispered in Li Wei's ear: "You pay attention to Princess Qi."

Li Wei looked at Zhao Qian in surprise, but saw that Zhao Qian had gone out.

Tai Fei Qi... Qi Tai Fei, Qi Tai Fei has always been honest and doesn’t talk much. She walked close to Princess Jinggui, who was also an old man in front of the emperor, who had given birth to the emperor before Empress Li entered the palace. Have a baby. Concubine Qi gave birth to the third son of the emperor Shu Wang, and the fief was naturally in Shu. The king of Shu was only one month younger than the king of Ping, but he was an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. The first emperor loved this son very much.

Was that Princess Qi in order to earn a future for her son, so she went the same way as the prince?

This Zhao Qian is also true, he can't say clearly, but it's always good to be careful.

Shujia still slept next to her, and soon fell asleep after taking the medicine. Li Wei hugged her, not long after she fell asleep, Qingxiang called her before she came to bed: "Queen Mother, you will wake up soon, the hour is up."

However, Li Wei felt that she had just closed her eyes, she glanced at Shu Jia who was asleep, and then ordered: "When the daylight dawns to send the nine princesses back to the palace, you must be thorough."

Then he washed his face and gargle, combed his hair, and changed into a plain suit. Li Wei felt hungry, so he took another bowl of bird's nest porridge and ate two rolls with sweet-scented osmanthus fillings before leaving for the main hall.

Other concubines and concubines arrived one after another. Before the coffin was lifted up, Li Wei was not touched by the death of the first emperor. She couldn't be said to be too sad to face such a scene again, but so many people watched her, she too. I worked hard to squeeze out a few tears. Among them, Princess Qi cried the most grief, and even fainted behind. Upon seeing this, Li Wei hurriedly carried the Princess Qi out, and at the same time asked Princess Shu to stay and take care of Princess Qi. Later, the imperial doctor showed it to him, saying that Taifei Qi was sad because she was afraid that she could not support the tomb.

Li Wei then ordered: "In that case, let Princess Qi go back to the palace first, and let Princess Shu be with her all the way."

The small episode did not affect the entire ceremony, and the scale of Emperor Daxing's funeral is self-evident. The whole team traveled two miles, from the beginning of Mao to Sizheng before they arrived at the built emperor tomb. After opening the underground palace, there are already two coffins waiting inside. The one on the left is the Queen of Yuan, and the one on the right is Queen Li. The center position is empty.

Will she be buried with the first emperor in the same tomb a hundred years from now?

No, Li Wei didn't want to. The one emperor and two queens here were already crowded enough, and she didn't want to be entangled with these people a hundred years later.

All the ceremonies are very cumbersome. When the door of the underground palace is successfully sealed, it is already noon. After a short break, he had to go back to the palace.

Li Wei was not worried about the little emperor, and he called the person who was with his attendants to inquire several times, until Fu Guang came over in person, and Li Wei was relieved to see that everything was fine with him.

They only set off to return to the palace early the next morning. Li Wei only worried about two things along the way, one was Taifei Qi that Zhao Qian asked her to watch out for, and the other was Shujia's illness. Shujia's illness was taken care of by the imperial doctor, and there were many nurses and nanny in front of her. She didn't have to worry too much, but she still wondered if there was something wrong with Princess Qi.

After traveling for a long time, I entered the palace and returned to Chongqing Palace.

Li Wei first went to see Shu Jia. Shu Jia was lying on the bed, her small face still flushed unhealthy, and her neck was still hot when she touched it. She worriedly asked the doctor: "Why can't the heat go down?"

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry too much. Everything has a process. This process is relatively slow. It should be better tomorrow."

Even if it is a hospital, with the best medical skills in this dynasty, it can't compare to an ordinary township hospital in that time and space. She just feels distressed when she sees Shujia like this. She put her arms around Shujia and kissed the child's little face. It would be great if the second brother was by his side at this moment.
