Chapter 492
Mrs. Xie could only comfort Li Mei'er first, "Miss Li, don't worry, although Mr. Jiang has been brought into the palace by the servants, His Majesty must have rested at this moment. We have to wait until tomorrow, and with Xu Daru following Mr. Jiang, those palace people in the palace dare not make things difficult for him."

"Mother, if the people in the palace want to harm Mr. Jiang, will they beat him up? You should find a way to get him out of the palace first." Sun Xiaowu seemed more anxious than Li Meier, with a tangled expression on his face road.

Mrs. Xie gave her a blank look, and reprimanded angrily: "You think that the palace is your backyard, and you can get people out if you want, and you don't even know who took Young Master Jiang away. , they are all people around the Queen, unless His Majesty has spoken, how can we get them out."

Sun Xiaowu knew that he had said something wrong, but he still retorted very unconvinced: "Isn't the Empress always the kindest person? Although the people around her died, Mr. Jiang was obviously wronged. She would definitely not be so innocent." It's indiscriminate..."

Seeing her daughter's silly appearance, Mrs. Xie suddenly didn't want him to marry the prince. With such a simple-minded appearance, if she enters the harem later, she might be plotted to death and counting money for others.

Mrs. Xie sighed, and said directly, "Don't worry about this matter, Pingting. It's late now, no matter how anxious we are, it won't help. When the palace gate opens tomorrow morning, I will personally bring Meier into the palace for a while. trip."

Li Meier was also relieved to hear that Mrs. Xie would take her into the palace. One of the important purposes of her coming to the Earl's Mansion was to let Mrs. Xie take her into the palace. As long as she entered the palace and saw Jiang Shanqing, no matter what happened later, she would Stay with him.

She immediately stood up, gave another deep salute to Mrs. Xie, and said gratefully: "My daughter thanked Madam first, and whether my husband can be successfully exonerated or not, Madam, my daughter will never forget your kindness."

Mrs. Xie went over to help Li Mei'er up again, took her hand with some pity and said, "Okay, I didn't help you much, so don't be so polite, you will stay at our house tonight, sleep well As soon as I wake up, I'll take you into the palace tomorrow morning." After saying this, Xie Shi wanted the maids around her to arrange a guest room for Li Meier.

On the other hand, Sun Xiaowu suggested excitedly, "Mother, let me sleep with Sister Mei, and I can comfort her more."

Mrs. Xie just gave her a sideways look, and said bluntly: "Just calm down, Miss Li needs to rest well tonight, and I will sleep with you. I'm afraid she won't be able to rest well until dawn."

Sun Xiaowu was suppressed by Xie's stern words, so he could only mutter in dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to mention sleeping with Li Meier again.

Mrs. Xie drove Sun Xiaowu to sleep in her own room, and asked the maid to lead Li Meier to the guest room to settle down.

Sun Xiaowu was kicked out of the yard by Mrs. Xie first, but she didn't leave right away. When the servant girl led Li Meier out of the yard, she was still waiting outside.

"Sister Hengxiang, I want to say a few more words to Sister Mei, please wait for us for a while." Sun Xiaowu walked over and took the hand of Hengxiang, Xie's personal servant girl, and said very sweetly.

Heng Xiang was a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Xie ordered her to send Miss Li to the guest room immediately, but she didn't dare not listen to Fifth Miss's words, so she could only firmly tell her: "Girl, you can't delay for too long, otherwise It's time for Madam to blame the servant girl."

Sun Xiaowu repeatedly nodded to show that he knew, then pulled Li Meier aside, and whispered in her ear: "Sister Mei, I will go to the front yard to look for my third brother later, you also know that my third brother has the closest relationship with the prince's brother. Well, maybe he can ask the prince's elder brother for help." Although Li Meier was anxious, she also knew that it would not be good to ask Sun Zhongyuan for this matter, and she also knew Sun Zhongyuan's feelings for her, so to avoid suspicion, she still shook her head Rejected politely: "Sister Pingting, let's forget it, since Madam has promised to help me, then you don't bother Mr. Sun anymore. Although Mr. Sun has a good relationship with the crown prince, he always asks for favors. I don't want Sun Gongzi to owe His Royal Highness the favor for me."

Sun Xiaowu was simple-minded, and didn't think too much about it. Hearing what Li Meier said, he felt that he hadn't considered it, so he nodded a little dejectedly, "Okay, just listen to Sister Mei, I won't ask my third brother gone."

Here Sun Xiaowu and Li Meier left Xie's courtyard, and Sun Yaoxian just came back from his study over there. He entered the inner room and saw that Xie was still awake, so he spoiled and complained: "I didn't let you Go to bed first, don't wait for me."

Mrs. Xie smiled and stepped forward to help Sun Yao take off the outer smock, and then asked the servant girl to bring hot water and a handkerchief to wash his face.

"I can't sleep right now, anyway, it's not too late." Mrs. Xie said while handing the hot handkerchief to Sun Yaoxian.

Sun Yao washed his face first, and then said again: "When I came back, I seemed to see that girl Xiao Wu, is she here to trouble you again?"

Mrs. Xie hesitated for a moment, but she still told her husband that her daughter brought Li Meier to ask for help.

Sun Yaoxian was also a little surprised after hearing this. He remembered this newly promoted Tanhua Lang. He was also present at the palace test, and he admired Jiang Tanhua's character and literary talent. If it wasn't for his own daughter, he would have already made an appointment To be the prince's good concubine, he really recruited this Tanhua man to be Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law.

"Absurd, how could Tan Hua Lang have no grievances with the servant, how could he poison him so well, there must be something else wrong with it." Sun Yaoxian quickly commented on this matter.

Mrs. Xie nodded and echoed: "I think so too. Even if they wanted to poison, no one would be so stupid as to poison him on his big day. , the method of the real murderer is too unbelievable."

"Could it be that this Tanhualang offended someone, or blocked someone's way?" Sun Yaoxian had been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally thought more, pondered for a moment and then said.

Mrs. Xie just shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Who knows, it's just that the servants in the palace died, and the empress's side was the one who died. Naturally, things are much more complicated. I will take Miss Li into the palace tomorrow, and see what the empress is doing." How about it?"

"Are you going to enter the palace in person tomorrow?" Sun Yao asked with a frown after hearing Xie's words.

Mrs. Xie nodded and said: "Yes, Miss Li is also pitiful. What happened on the big day, since she begged me in front of me, I have to help anyway. I just brought people into the palace, and it doesn't involve us. Family or something." Knowing what her husband was worried about, Mrs. Xie added another sentence.
