Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

"Shujia, do you like it here?"

Shujia raised her little face and said, "I like it as long as there is a queen."

What a caring little padded jacket, Li Wei kindly twisted Shujia's cheek.

She lived in the room she used to live in, sleeping on the lacquered Babu bed she was familiar with, and hanging a tent that she liked to calligraphy and painting with white silk.

On the first night back, she slept exceptionally sweetly, as if it was dawn without dreaming.

When she was freshening up the next day, Qiu Chan, who was combing her hair, saw Li Wei's complexion and said that Li Wei's complexion was very good, and she could be completely red without any powder.

"It seems that the empress slept extremely peacefully last night."

"Yeah, I feel like I haven't slept well in a long time."

Qiu Chan smiled and said, "You can sleep well in the Queen Mother, which means your body is slowly recovering. This is an excellent thing."

When Li Wei moved to Zhaoyang Hall, Chongqing Palace was vacant, and Fushen did not let his biological mother move in. These concubines and concubines will also come to Zhaoyang Hall to visit her and talk to her.

It's just that Li Wei's heart is incomprehensible, and he is more taciturn than before.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Tony made an appointment with Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Chang to come to Li Wei to play cards. Li Wei had no interest at all, but he took the initiative to come to the door, and it was not easy to discourage others, so she agreed to play a few laps.

Li Wei sat on the bank and asked Qingxiang to help her see the cards. After the first lap, she lost a bunch of money, but she was not annoyed. The second hand still let Qingxiang help to see the cards. In order to please Li Wei's joy, Toffee Dun deliberately released water, and then gave her next wife a secret wink. It was natural that Mrs. Chang was involved. The two teamed up to release the water, and finally Li Wei finally got the card.

Toffee Dun said with a smile: "The queen mother is still lucky, and the money will be collected for the second hand."

The following linkage Li Wei pretended not to know, she smiled and said: "This is only the second lap, who knows what's next."

The four of them sat together and played cards for more than two hours. Then Li Wei rubbed his eyes and said, "Let's do this for now, it's not early."

The other three people suddenly found out when it was dark.

Li Wei asked the small kitchen of Zhaoyang Temple to prepare meals and invited the three of them to eat together.

I have to say that there are more people to eat, but it is also more lively. After the meal, everyone left one after another.

Qingxiang had already counted the money, and said to Li Wei: "Queen dowager, you are lucky today. You have five taels of silver to win."

"Five two? The number is not small, enough to do a lot of things." Li Wei did not show much joy.

The Zhaoyang Temple is small and doesn't need too many people to serve. Li Wei asked some people to stay in Chongqing Palace, but did not bring them back. Therefore, he also offered to reduce his salary again.

Fu brought Liulang's wife into the palace to greet Li Wei.

Li Wei received them at the side hall of Zhaoyang Hall.

Seeing that Fu was back here again, his face seemed unhappy.

"I heard that you offered to move back, isn't it uncomfortable to live in Chongqing Palace?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "Yes, it's very uncomfortable. When I come back here, I will sleep more peacefully at night."

"Fool, you are the empress dowager pro-appointed by Emperor Chengzong. What are you afraid of. You can't drive you away if you live there properly."

Li Wei said, "Do I really have to wait until someone drove me away? I'm also a person who wants face. Now I don't care about things, I just want to be safe, and I have long looked away from the rest. Up."

Too much has happened since the first month, Li Wei was exhausted physically and mentally, and now he has no desires. With Fu Guang's death, the status of the Li family plummeted. Fortunately, there are not many officials in the court now.

"From now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the Li family anymore, so I asked my mother to tell them so that they can ask for their own blessings, don't be too prestigious, and always think of yourself as the uncle of the country. It's really coming, afraid I can't help it."

After hearing this, Fu said, "It's over. No matter how you say you are the queen mother, no one can touch you. Just be your queen mother and don't worry about other things."

"I don't think I can control it anymore. You can ask for your own blessings. Tell your uncle and auntie and ask them to restrain your family. Don't make troubles and keep a low profile. You can't go wrong."

Seeing that her daughter was still so cautious, after so many ups and downs, she heard that her daughter was in poor health, so she wanted to go to the palace to see, but seeing that she was in good spirits, she asked the people around her about daily life and so on. Trivial matters, knowing that everything is business as usual, she just let go of a little heart.

When the doctor Lu came to Li Wei again to ask for the peace pulse, he noticed the changes in her body and said with satisfaction: "It seems that these decoctions are effective for the queen mother. Now the decoction is no longer necessary. The minister will prescribe a pill for the queen mother. Take one pill every night before going to bed for three months, and your body will usher in greater changes."

"Thank you."

Grand Doctor Lu didn't dare to say a word, so he left the name of the pill and was packing his things to leave, but Li Wei stopped him: "When you go back, please bring me a message to the hospital envoy. Please come tomorrow morning. Visit the Nanshufang, I have something to tell him."

Afterwards, Fu Guang's dereliction of duty as the chief imperial doctor was found, and he has been suspended for several months and has not yet returned to his normal work. Li Wei suddenly remembered this, and felt obligated to arrange it.

Doctor Lu readily agreed.

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Zheng came to the South Study Room to see Li Wei.

After the salute, Li Wei spoke directly: "As the chief medical doctor, you are not strict in your control. It is a negligence of duty. Now I want to cure your crime. Can you accept it?"

Fang Zhengdao: "The minister is guilty first, and the Queen Mother is willing to accept it no matter how he manages the minister."

"Very well, if you commit a crime, you have to bear the relevant responsibilities. You are not qualified to enter and exit the Hanyuan Hall. The position of the court envoy should be given to more suitable people."

He has not been sent to jail. He is already the empress dowager's great kindness. If the official is lost, then lose it. There is nothing wrong with going back to the peaceful inheritance of the family business and helping the brothers share the burden. Even if the queen mother does not remove him from the post, he is ready to go away.

"The minister obeyed the Queen Mother's arrangement."

Li Wei nodded and said, "Very well, I have also figured out your way. There is a shortage of staff at the medical museum. You can teach those students."

Fang Zheng looked at a loss. He was destined to not let him be free. He raised an objection: "Queen dowager, the minister is willing to sue the old man to return home, please let the minister go home."

"Oh? Are you unwilling to dedicate what you have learned in your life? How can medicine improve with the secret recipe passed down from the family? I understand that you want to guard your Yi'an pill, and I don't want to force it, but I still hope that Mr. Fang can do well Think about going to the medical center. This is also a benefit to the people. Please use your own actions to make up for your mistakes."

Li Wei's words were so magnificent that Fang Zheng was speechless and could not find a word to deal with.
