she has golden eyes

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Emperor Mingde fell on the bed and couldn't get up.

Mei Xue hurriedly gave him an injection, and An Jiang brought over the medicine he had prepared for Emperor Mingde to take.

When he finally breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Ming De said to Mei Xue:
"You bandage Jinzhi's hands first."

Even though he was already so seriously ill, everything around him still couldn't escape the eyes of Emperor Mingde.

An Jiang hurriedly went out and brought in Mei Xue's medicine box. Mei Xue lowered her head and bandaged Li Jinzhi's arm. Li Jinyu said guiltily to Emperor Mingde:
"Father, Jin Zhi was injured to protect me, he doesn't know kung fu."

Emperor Mingde looked at Li Jinzhi deeply, and said "hmm" when he heard the words:

"You are brothers, Jinzhi sacrificed his life for you, you can't treat him badly in the future."

"That's natural, my son remembers."

Li Jinyu was full of gratitude, and after answering Emperor Mingde asked Li Jinzhi how his injury was.

Mei Xue had already bandaged Li Jinzhi, so she saluted Emperor Mingde and Li Jinyu and said:

"The son is only a skin injury, not a bone injury."

Emperor Mingde nodded in satisfaction, lay back on the soft pillow with a tired face and said:
"Today the Meng Family suffered a catastrophe, the Empress Dowager must have been hit hard, the three of you go to the Compassion Palace to have a look.

Mei Xue, after watching the Empress Dowager, you can go back with Jin Zhi to rest for a few days, if I feel unwell, I will order someone to call you.

I really can't hold it anymore, let's go visit my mother tomorrow! "

After saying the last sentence, Emperor Mingde closed his eyes, with tears looming in the corners of his eyes.

Li Jinyu choked up for a moment, led Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi to kowtow to Emperor Mingde and backed out.

On the first day of the new year, the sky was twilight, but the entire palace city was bleak, and even the air was filled with the faint smell of blood.

There were people coming and going on the palace road, but there was no sound, only corpses being carried out continuously.

With the faint morning light, Mei Xue lowered her head and could still see the bloodstains left on the road.

There was a dead silence in the Compassionate Ning Palace, the female relatives had already been evacuated out of the palace, and Princess Changle went to the East Palace to help Crown Princess Xie Danqin guard the children.

Princess Chenyang's eyes were red and swollen, and she whispered to Mei Xue and others outside the bedroom of Queen Mother Jing'an:

"Brother Huang made arrangements in advance, so nothing major happened on our side, but we were just a little frightened.

But the queen mother, the queen mother..."

Princess Chenyang couldn't continue, she covered her face with her handkerchief and sobbed silently.

Marquis Wu'an's Mansion, the Empress Dowager's natal family, in order to avoid suspicion, the men in the family have only studied but not been in office for generations, but catastrophe cannot be avoided.

This time, none of the adult men in the Marquis of Wu'an was spared, leaving only a family of widows.

Mei Xue bit her lips sadly, thinking of the old lady of Marquis Wu'an's mansion who had been bedridden, and Madam Wu'anhou.

Madam Wu Anhou loves her son Meng Ziyi deeply, but now she lost her husband and son overnight, how should she bear it?
Empress Dowager Jing'an was asleep on the bed, unaware of the arrival of Mei Xue and others.

Mei Xue sat down by the bed, checked the pulse of Empress Dowager Jing'an, then walked out of the bedroom and said to Princess Chenyang:
"The Empress Dowager is fine, but she is too sad and needs to rest for a while."

Li Jinzhi wanted to stay and look after the Empress Dowager Jing'an, but Li Jinyu refused and said to him and Mei Xue:

"There must be such a huge change in the capital. People in the palace must be panic-stricken. You go back to take care of the two children first. If the emperor's grandmother's condition changes, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible."

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi had no choice but to say goodbye to Princess Chenyang and left the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

It was already bright, but the New Year's sun was only slightly yellow, unable to get through the thick clouds.

Mei Gang, Peng Liang, and Gao Yuan waited anxiously outside the palace all night, and when they saw Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi walking out side by side, they rushed to greet them.

The street market was completely silent, not to mention the excitement of the New Year, there was not even the slightest sound of people.

Li Jinzhi held Mei Xue in his arms, and the circles of his eyes gradually turned red.

Mei Xue reached out and touched his face and said softly:
"Let's go to the Hou Mansion first, and see the old lady and the others."

Li Jinzhi nodded, and after calming down his emotions, he ordered Mei Gang to go to Wu'anhou Mansion instead.

There was a lot of crying in the Hou's mansion, and the servants were busy removing the red lanterns and red couplets everywhere.

Mrs. Wu Anhou was lying on the bed with a high fever until she was unconscious. Liang Jinsong stood by the bed, her eyes were already blood red.

Madam Hou was kept from knowing the news, but she still noticed the abnormality, and kept asking Li Jinzhi why the man from the Hou's mansion did not pay her respects in the future.

Mei Xue's tears almost welled up in her eyes, she hurriedly turned her head and left the bedroom.

This poor old man was so angry that she was trapped in bed for two years because of her grandson's marriage, and now she has lost many children and grandchildren overnight. How painful is the rest of her life?
Mei Xue went to prescribe a prescription for Mrs. Marquis of Wu'an, and gave her acupuncture twice. She didn't leave Hou's mansion until her body temperature finally dropped.

It was already half past noon when we returned to the palace. Song Zhijie was waiting at the gate of the palace. As soon as he saw the carriage from a distance, he rushed up to greet him.

The three of them went back to the inner courtyard together, and when Ping An saw Mei Xue, he smiled and rushed forward.

Li Mingze was held in Jiu'er's arms, and when he saw Li Jinzhi, he tried his best to make a "woo ah woo ah" sound.

Li Jinzhi hurriedly stepped forward and took Li Mingze into his arms.

For a lunch, except for Ping An, who was ignorant of worldly affairs, who was very happy, the rest of the people were tasteless, and they stopped their chopsticks after only a few mouthfuls of rice.

In the afternoon, Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi were accompanying the two children, Xiao Yan rushed over, sat down and panted for a while, and then began to talk about the situation outside.

In just one morning, more than 30 mansions in the capital had been raided, and the number of other implicated families was still increasing. The Xu family and the Chu Palace, no matter the master or the servants, were beheaded on the spot, and no one was spared.

"The prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and Yulinwei are full of people. I just took a look at Shen Qingyang. Yulinwei is in charge of the Xu family and Prince Chu's mansion. Everyone is jealous."

Mei Xue, Li Jinzhi, and Song Zhijie were all speechless. This unique New Year will probably be remembered by the people of the capital for many years.

There was no other news from the palace, so Mei Xue rested quietly in the palace for two days, and on the third morning, she took her two children back to Mei's house in Dingxiangli.

Nanny Zhang stayed in Mei's house to take care of Nanny Mei, and the servants also stayed behind closed doors.

Qin Li and Sun Qiang led people to guard the mansion all the time, and Song Zhijie also sent people from the palace to reinforce, so Mei's house was safe and sound all the time.

Shen Qingyang came to the Mei Mansion only on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and Li Jinzhi, Xiao Yan, Princess Changle and others were also there.

As soon as she saw Shen Qingyang coming in a hurry, Princess Changle's eyes turned red, but she still got up first and went to serve him a bowl of hot soup.

Shen Qingyang didn't say anything, after drinking the soup, he remained silent as usual, only watching Xiao Yan and the two children playing around.

The Lantern Festival was approaching, and the atmosphere in the capital was still extremely dignified, until the news came that the king of Shu led his troops to attack the two lakes.

Emperor Mingde made several decrees to show sympathy to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the family of Feng Jinyao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, including the families of other imperial relatives and ministers who died at the palace banquet.

In mid-February, the defeated King of Chu was escorted to the capital. Emperor Mingde refused to even meet him, and directly ordered him to be escorted to Caishikou in the west of Beijing.

The heads of King Chu, father and son and Xu Wenhua hang on the gate tower in the west of Beijing, and below are the families of prisoners who have been escorted out of Beijing for exile.

Mei Xue went back to Zhaoyang Palace to wait on her, and occasionally went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit Empress Dowager Jing'an, and sometimes she would meet Crown Princess Xie Danqin and the two young princesses to accompany Empress Dowager Jing'an.

When leaving, Xie Danqin invited Mei Xue to go with her.The two little princesses didn't know their worries, and ran ahead playing around. Xie Danqin smiled slightly and said to Mei Xue:
"Sister Seven sent me a letter, saying that she is about to leave, and brought me many specialties from Qiantang."

Mei Xue was speechless, she knew that Xie Danqin must have been fully prepared and did not need any comfort.

Xie Danqin still smiled, looked up at the blue sky in spring and said:
"I have been in the palace for many years, and I am already used to the food in the capital, and I don't miss any special products in Qiantang.

But I miss my parents and my brothers and sisters, and I will let my grandmother and great aunt send them to me nicely. "

Mei Xue lowered her eyes, saluted Xie Danqin and said:

"My minister also hopes that everything will come true for the empress."

Xie Danqin laughed, took Mei Xue's hand and continued walking.
