Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Li Yuyan saw that Wei Bingyan was summoned into the palace by His Majesty, so he could not sit down, "Old Master, I will go into the palace to take a look."

"What are you going to do in the palace? Would His Majesty deal with a little girl like Bingyan? Just do what you should do and don't worry about it. I think the Empress Dowager is really sick, otherwise His Majesty would not let Bingyan enter the palace." The old man said calmly.

Li Yuyan's pretty face was tense as hell, how could he really relax?

"You go back first. I think Bingyan will stay in the palace tonight." said Old Master Wei.

He still had to go back and discuss the trip to Huaixi with his father, but he was really worried. Unfortunately, his junior sister was going to the Imperial Palace, and that was not a place he could just sneak into in the dead of night...

"Old Master, if Bingyan is back, please let someone tell me." Li Yuyan said.

The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Go back."

Li Yuyan had just stepped into the Li family when Mrs. Li called him over. "Today is the day when Mrs. Wei and her family go to Baiyue. Why don't you show up to see them off? Although Wei Zhong and your father don't get along very well, it is very important to please your future mother-in-law. You really don't know how to seize the opportunity."

"I'm talking to His Majesty..." Li Yuyan looked at his mother helplessly. He was quite eloquent, but every time he met his mother, he could only listen obediently.

"How is it? Did His Majesty say when he would grant you and Bingyan a marriage?" Mrs. Li asked with a frown, and then she said that this era was really bad, and one had to worry so much about marrying a wife. It would be great if one could get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, but that would be bad for Bingyan's reputation, so she couldn't teach her son such an incorrect idea.

And Bingyan is still so young...

What a romantic sadness! Mrs. Li lay on her back.

"Not yet. Bingyan was just summoned to the palace. The Empress Dowager fell ill." Li Yuyan said in a depressed tone.

Mrs. Li was startled, and turned around to look at him, "The Empress Dowager is ill and wants Bingyan to come to the palace? Bingyan is not an imperial physician, so are all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Office dead?"

"Mom, I also want to know the reason." Li Yuyan sighed.

Li Debing strode in at this time. When he saw Li Yuyan in the room, he was startled and asked, "Are you back?"

"Father." Li Yuyan bowed. "I have something to discuss with you. It's about Huaixi."

"Well, I was just thinking of talking to you about this." Li Debing looked at Mrs. Li with a twinkling look in his eyes, and forced a few smiles with an unnatural look on his face. "Let's go to the study and talk."

Mrs. Li pulled his arm and glared at him, "It feels like the old lady's letter should have arrived today. Huh, huh, huh, huh, what's it about?"

"Hmm..." Li Debing swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Yuyan with a look of help in his eyes. "Actually, it's nothing. They just talked about some common things. The old master and the old lady are going to Jinyun City next month. They will probably come to the capital in some time. That's all."

"Is that so?" Mrs. Li looked at her husband in surprise. She knew her mother-in-law best what kind of person she was. If she was just talking about these trivial daily matters, why would her husband be so timid?

Li Debing coughed softly, "Just...just like that."

"Mom, Dad and I have something to discuss." Seeing Li Debing's eyes calling for help, Li Yuyan had no choice but to ask for help.

"Give me the letter and I'll write back to the old lady," said Mrs. Li.

Li Debing felt a little headache. He looked at Li Yuyan and thought that he couldn't keep it secret for long, so he said, "The old lady said that she wants to arrange a marriage for Yuyan. This is it!"

"Arrange a marriage for Yuyan?" Mrs. Li looked at Li Debing with interest. "Which girl does the old lady like? Could it be this niece from her mother's family?"

"Yes...it's Zhu Jing." Li Debing didn't have the courage to look at Mrs. Li and turned his face away.

Li Yuyan's face turned cold, "Mom, Father, you guys talk about your things first, I'll go to the study and wait."

"Stand still!" Li Debing stopped his son who wanted to keep out of it with a stern voice. "This is a major event in your life, how can it have nothing to do with you? I think Zhu Jing is a good match for you. You met her when you were young. Why don't you..."

"Father, grandma doesn't need to worry about the child's major life events." Li Yuyan said coldly. Didn't he know what his grandma was thinking? At that time, she couldn't decide whether her own son should marry her niece, but now she wanted such a lovely grandson like him to marry her niece. Wasn't that just to go against his mother?

Li Debing stopped him with a stern voice, "What are you talking about? The old lady sincerely wants to come to the capital for your marriage, how can you ignore her wishes?"

"Has she ever thought about your son's feelings?" Mrs. Li sneered. Did the old lady think that she could take her son away by force? She really thought too simply. As a mother, she couldn't influence her son's thoughts. She hadn't seen her lovely grandson for several years, but she still expected Yu Yan to listen to her?

"Isn't marriage entirely decided by the elders?" Li Debing said timidly.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Why didn't you say that at that time? Why did you marry me?"

"Mom, Father, I won't disturb you while you're talking." Li Yuyan pursed his lips to avoid laughing out loud accidentally. Before Li Debing could open his mouth, he had already quickly left the room.

Li Debing looked embarrassed because of Mrs. Li's words. When he turned around and saw his wife looking at him with amusement, he broke out in a cold sweat.

……

Wei Bingyan had not entered the palace for a long time. In the past, in order to avoid trouble, she pretended to be ill and stayed at home. Even though Concubine Lu De repeatedly sent people to look for her, Xiao always found excuses to send them back.

Entering the palace again, she was still nervous. Every time she walked in here, she would feel depressed unconsciously.

The little palace maid brought her to Fulu Palace. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a tall figure standing outside the bedroom. It was the old man Huang whom she had seen in Yin Garden. Naturally, it was His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well." Wei Bingyan bowed respectfully, and the hidden worries in her heart finally gradually subsided. Since His Majesty was here, the Empress Dowager must have really fallen ill.

"No need to be polite. Just give the Empress Dowager acupuncture quickly." His Majesty was worried at this time. He waved his hand and asked Wei Bingyan to stand up. He immediately went into the bedroom to examine and treat the Empress Dowager.

Wei Bingyan didn't dare to hesitate and walked in with her head lowered.

Imperial Physician Li informed Wei Bingyan of the results of his research. Wei Bingyan was shocked. If the Empress Dowager was really suffering from hyperactivity like the old man, and she still hadn't received acupuncture for such a long time, she might be afraid...

She hurriedly sat down on a brocade stool near the bed and took the empress dowager's pulse.

As expected! Although the specific symptoms were slightly different from those of the old man, the pulse was the same.

"Aunt Yin." Wei Bingyan called Aunt Yin closer and said, "Prepare the golden needles."

Imperial Physician Li had seen Wei Bingyan perform acupuncture on Old Master Wei, and knew that she was using white wine instead of fire to remove the poison from the needles, so he asked the little palace maid to prepare the white wine.

"Lord Li, please everyone please move aside first." Wei Bingyan said softly to Imperial Physician Li.

After a while, only Wei Bingyan, Aunt Yin and two palace maids who served the Empress Dowager were left in the bedroom.

Wei Bingyan asked them to help take off the clothes of the Empress Dowager. She couldn't think of anything else now. She had to wake the Empress Dowager up first. As for the future... she could only sincerely pray for the Empress Dowager's luck.

She twisted the needles in her hands and pierced them straight into the magical acupuncture points such as Fengtan, Tianqiao, Zusanli, Taichong, etc.

About two hours later, Wei Bingyan took the needle back from the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's previously pale complexion seemed to have improved a little.

The two little palace maids who had always been suspicious and wary of Wei Bingyan showed bursts of joy on their faces, and the way they looked at Wei Bingyan also changed.

Wei Bingyan didn't feel good, however. After exchanging glances with Aunt Yin, she stood up and walked out. Before His Majesty could open his mouth to ask questions, she knelt down first.

His Majesty was greatly surprised. "Has the Queen Mother woke up?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will wake up in fifteen minutes, but..." Wei Bingyan hesitated and hung her head.

"Just what?" His Majesty asked, looking at her.

Wei Bingyan's eyes were calm and peaceful, and she said softly, "The Empress Dowager's anger was extremely intense, and she never managed it seriously. Suddenly, her illness flared up... After waking up from a nap, her hands and feet were inevitably numb, and her movements were often hampered."

His Majesty frowned deeply, and cast a sharp gaze on Wei Bingyan's face. After a long while, he said, "You should settle down in Fulu Palace first and take good care of the Empress Dowager's health."

Could she say no? Wei Bingyan smiled bitterly and bowed her head, "I obey your orders."

When the news that Wei Bingyan was left in the palace reached Li Yuyan's ears, it was already dark. If the palace gate had not been closed, he would have entered the palace in a hurry to look for her.

Although Madam Li was also worried about the disciple, since the Empress Dowager was ill, it was normal for His Majesty to keep the disciple in the palace. If he rushed into the palace rashly, it would be bad for Bingyan.

After listening to Mrs. Li's advice, Li Yuyan forced himself to suppress the urge to rush into the palace in the dead of night.

Li Debing knew that Li Yuyan was so worried about the little girl from the Wei family, and his face was not very good. "Isn't it just staying in the palace for a few days? Is it necessary to be so nervous?"

Mrs. Li was using cold violence against him. After hearing what he said, she just gave him a cold look and went straight back to the house.

After going through so much trouble and waiting until dawn, Li Yuyan immediately rushed to the palace.

It was still morning, but there was no sense of the cool morning weather that should be there. It was still hot and dry, making people feel frivolous and restless.
