Chapter 619
Mrs. Li and Li Meier sat together, staring at the little baby who was drinking goat milk in Jiang's arms, with different expressions.

"This is really... the emperor's daughter? A little princess?" Mrs. Li looked at the kitten-like milk doll curiously, and asked, tut-tsk.

"It's written on the note in the basket." Li Meier replied with a sigh, resting her chin.

"Let your aunt come over and recognize her. She entered the palace yesterday, didn't she say that she had seen the concubine Yun Gui's newborn child, she should recognize it." Jiang said with a sad face.

I can't blame her for being worried, anyone who receives such a hot potato early in the morning will be very worried.

When Jiang Shanqing saw this child, he guessed that something serious must have happened in the palace, so he went to Xu's house early in the morning.Li Yan also went to the Imperial Academy to inquire about the news.

"Old lady, madam, uncle and wife are here!" Nurse Lin hurriedly led Zhou Hanju in from outside.

Li Meier rushed to meet her, "Auntie, you are here."

"You called me here in such a hurry, did something happen to Yanran?" After Zhou Hanyu returned home from the palace yesterday, she was worried all the time, fearing that things might not work out, and Zhou Yuyan would still not be able to come out from the Prison Department.

Li Meier shook her head, not knowing what to say, so she could only pull Zhou Hanju to Jiang's side.

When Zhou Hanyu saw the baby in Jiang's arms, he was taken aback for a moment, and then felt that the baby's swaddling clothes looked familiar.

Seeing that Zhou Hanju didn't respond, Li Meier asked tentatively, "Auntie, don't you recognize this child? Did you see him yesterday?"

Zhou Hanhan was asked by Li Meier, and suddenly remembered, isn't this... Zhou Hanhan let her see it yesterday, her daughter!
"She...how is she here?" Zhou Hanyu stuttered in surprise, pointing at the child and asked.

The three of the Li family looked at each other, and finally Li Meier said: "When I opened the door this morning, I saw this child was placed at our door. It seems that the note in the basket is not deceiving. This is really Concubine Yun's child."

Zhou Hanyu kept her mind steady, looked carefully at the child in Jiang's arms for a while, then nodded and said, "It's that child, that's right, but how could it be..." She was full of doubts at this moment, and she couldn't figure it out. How could the child be sent to the Li family.

"Brother Shanqing said, I'm afraid something happened in the palace, something must have happened to Concubine Yun Gui, and this child will be sent out of the palace, but he can't guess who sent it." Li Meier frowned. Lian explained, but she felt that the person who sent it must be not simple, otherwise she couldn't leave the child at her door without anyone noticing.

Zhou Hanyu heard that something might happen to Concubine Yun Gui, and her emotions were very complicated. Although she kept saying that Zhou Hanhan was dead, but now something really happened, she still couldn't help worrying.

"Then what are you going to do with this child, Mei Meier?" Zhou Hanyu was silent for a while, but still asked in a shy voice.

"Let's keep it at our house first. Although I'm weaned now, there are several sheep at home. It's no problem to feed this little guy." Jiang said with a sigh. She has always been kind-hearted, and she likes it very much. Little child, I really can't do anything to send this child out.

"How can you bother my sister? This child has no relationship or reason with you. If you want to raise it, I should raise it. After all, I am the child's biological aunt." Zhou Hanyu struggled for a while, but still opened the mouth.

Jiang Shi glanced at Li Meier, as if she wanted to hear what she had to say.

Li Mei'er shook her head, looked at Zhou Hanyu and said, "Auntie, I guess the incident in the palace must be serious this time. If you raise this child, it may affect you and the Jiang family."

"Then if you keep it, won't you still be implicated?" Zhou Hanyu asked with a frown.

Li Meier said helplessly: "Auntie, even if we didn't have this child, our family would have already been in the game. If the queen is really powerful in the palace now, and she has finished taking care of Concubine Yun, it will be our turn next."

Zhou Hanyu was terrified when he heard that, and said hastily, "Then you guys should stop staying in the capital, and leave quickly to avoid it."

Li Meier shook her head helplessly, "Auntie, we can't escape. Where can we go as a big family? Now only soldiers come to cover us up. And I believe that Brother Shanqing must have a way to protect us."

Zhou Hanyu still wanted to continue persuading him, but two people hurried in from outside the door.

When everyone looked back, it was actually Jiang Shanqing and Zhou Muyi.

"How is it?" Li Meier ran over and asked anxiously.

Jiang Shanqing shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's not very good. The imperial city is under martial law. You are only allowed to enter but not to leave. The morning court also stopped today. I heard from the Xu family that His Majesty is seriously ill. Now he is the crown prince." Promenade."

Li Mei'er's face turned pale in an instant, she grabbed Jiang Shanqing's hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "Okay, why is Your Majesty suddenly seriously ill?"

Jiang Shanqing's face was serious, he turned and closed the door, and then said to everyone in the room: "I suspect that His Majesty is not seriously ill, but was murdered secretly, and the current situation is only the most beneficial to the two of them."

"The queen and the prince!" Li Meier echoed without thinking, and her face became more and more ugly.

Jiang Shanqing nodded silently, then looked at Zhou Muyi, "Ayi, tell me what you know."

Zhou Muyi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The gate of the palace has been under martial law since yesterday evening. The empress has issued an order that no one is allowed to leave the palace, and many palace guards are strictly guarding the gate. Make sure that no one is let out. "

"Impossible. If no one really got out of the palace, how did the little princess get out of the palace?" Li Meier immediately asked in puzzlement when she heard this.

"There is one exception. Before dawn, the palace gate was opened for him."

Zhou Muyi said again. "It's the prince!" Li Mei'er was not stupid at the moment, so she guessed it right away.

She looked at the little baby in disbelief, then at Zhou Muyi and Jiang Shanqing, and asked very puzzled: "Why does the prince help Concubine Yun?"

Concubine Yun Gui always wanted to kill the queen and prince.

"Who knows." Jiang Shanqing sneered, "Maybe it's because of the lingering conscience, maybe it's because of the brother-sister relationship." In fact, he felt that Li Chengqi was more like leaving a way out for himself.

"Brother Shanqing, what are we going to do next?" Li Mei'er has no time to worry about what the prince is thinking. Now that the emperor is seriously ill and the empress controls the entire palace, she will put the butcher's knife on the ground soon. up their necks.

"Naturally, I want to find a way to save His Majesty and expose the Queen's crimes." Jiang Shanqing replied faintly with a flash of light in his eyes.
