Shen Qingyang stayed by the old prince's bed the whole time, when he saw Mei Xue and Jiu'er coming in, he stood up and nodded to Mei Xue.

Du Zhe brought a copper basin to Mei Xue, which was filled with hot water, and a snow-white cloth towel was hung on the side of the basin.

Mei Xue was a little surprised, because obviously this kind of work should not be done by him, and his leg was still injured.

But she was anxious to detoxify Old Prince Yan, so she didn't think much about it, thanked Du Zhe, and began to clean her hands and prepare.

Shen Qingyang stood beside him with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over Du Zhe's face, his face gradually turned cold.

Feeling Shen Qingyang's indifference, Du Zhe dodged and turned his face away.

Old Prince Yan was unconscious, and after Mei Xue gave him acupuncture for a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

Mei Xue saluted him and said softly:

"My lord, the time is urgent. The non-bitter pills will not be made until tomorrow. Let's take the decoction for now?"

Lord Yan nodded.

He has spent most of his life fighting on the battlefield, drinking some bitter medicine soup, what kind of trouble is it?

But the young girl in front of her, although she looked deserted, was gentle and delicate in her mind.

Shen Qingyang stepped forward and hugged the old prince's shoulders to help him sit up, and Mei Xue took two soft pillows for him and put them behind his back.

Du Zhe put down the copper basin in his hand, took the medicine bowl from Jiu'er, sat on the edge of the bed and carefully started to feed Old Prince Yan the medicine.

Mei Xue and Shen Qingyang both stood aside, she looked at Old Prince Yan and Du Zhe with a heavy heart.

The old prince is getting old, and he was assassinated again this time, if he is not in good health, there is a high probability that he will not be able to survive.

But after all, it still hurt the root.

But Du Zhe, who is still so young, must quickly take up the burden of Prince Yan's Mansion.

The future of the grandparent and grandson is destined to be very hard.

After drinking the medicine and rinsing his mouth, the old prince rested on the soft pillow and closed his eyes for a while before he had the strength to open them. He looked at Du Zhe and Mei Xue, and after a long time he sighed and said to Mei Xue:
"Miss Mei, you have worked so hard for so long, go back and rest first!
Zhe'er, go see Miss Mei off. "

Mei Xue nodded, and walked out with Jiu'er, Du Zhe followed behind them.

The old prince's eyes stayed on the backs of Du Zhe and Mei Xue, until Shen Qingyang lifted his robe and sat down on the brocade stool by the bed, then he said in a deep voice:

"Qing Yang, I want to keep Miss Mei in the palace, do you think it's feasible?"

Shen Qingyang shook his head without hesitation, but did not explain a word.

The old prince smiled wryly, coughed a few times and said:

"All my life as a soldier, I always thought that I would die on the battlefield, but unexpectedly...

People in the world say that the prince's heirs are weak because I killed too much, but I never regret it.

Gaozu and I are brothers and sisters, protecting the northern border so that the border people can live in peace is the best thing I can do for Gaozu and the people of Dajin.

But today, I suddenly feel powerless, and even start to feel scared for the first time.

I was thinking, if I could spend more time on housework before, would it be possible to avoid...

Zhe'er is still too young and lacks experience. Even if he can bear the burden outside in the future, he needs a good helper in the inner house.

I don't want him to go my old way again.

As for Mei Xue, she is stable and capable, so she is the best candidate. "

Shen Qingyang shook his head again, he pulled back the brocade quilt on the old prince, and said in a low voice:

"My lord, no matter what, Du Zhe must grow up as soon as possible. And before you invite him to be crowned heir, you'd better confirm his marriage first, so as not to make fuss about it in the future.

As for the reason, I don't think you need me to explain. "

The old prince nodded, remembering that since the death of Emperor Gaozu, he was walking on thin ice in the hands of Emperor Mingde, remembering that the palace now knew the situation of Prince Yan's mansion well, and thinking of Emperor Li Jinyu's greetings to him, what else did he not understand?

Sending Mei Xue to the door of the guest courtyard, seeing her and Jiu'er go in and close the door, Du Zhe walked into his own courtyard.

He had an injury on his leg, and he still walked a little slowly, when he turned onto the path leading to his own yard, he saw Shen Qingyang standing in the distance with his back turned to him.

Even if Shen Qingyang hadn't seen Du Zhe yet, he didn't dare to hide, so he had to bite the bullet and walk over.

When Du Zhe walked behind Shen Qingyang, Shen Qingyang didn't look back, but said coldly:

"You come into the house with me and talk."

Liu Qi stood by the door, Shen Qingyang sat behind the desk in Du Zhe's study, and didn't ask Du Zhe to sit, so he looked at him and asked in a cold voice:

"Did you say something to the prince? The palace has reached such a critical situation, do you still care about your children?"

Du Zhe didn't dare to look at Shen Qingyang, lowered his head and explained in a low voice:
"Brother, I'm just afraid that once grandpa's illness recovers, you and Miss Mei will return to Beijing immediately. I...I just want to stay with Miss Mei in the mansion for a few more days. With her here, I can stay in the barracks with peace of mind." Here, I... I didn't..."

Shen Qingyang sneered, stared at Du Zhe and said:
"So you have to hang around outside the pharmacy until dawn and you can't bear to leave, so you have to personally bring water for Miss Mei's hands and do all the work for the servants?"

Du Zhe blushed immediately, he couldn't explain himself, he gritted his teeth, looked up at Shen Qingyang and said:

"Brother, even if you can stay in Yanzhou to help me for a while, you must return to Beijing. Grandpa is old and his body has been seriously injured. I am very scared. I hope someone can help me and give me money." idea.

Miss Mei, she...she...she gives me the same feeling as you, she is very reliable, she is also very powerful, I...I..."

Shen Qingyang stood up, walked in front of Du Zhe, stared into his eyes and said:
"Whether you just want to find a helper, or you are thinking about something you shouldn't have, I want to make one thing clear to you.

Miss Mei is the sweetheart of Li Jinzhi, the son of King Shu, and she only has Li Jinzhi in her heart.She was willing to travel thousands of miles to Yanzhou City to make Li Jinzhi feel better.

Just remember, this is the end of this matter.If you dare to do anything to trouble Miss Mei again, don't blame me for being rude to you. "

Du Zhe was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, his eyes were red with disappointment, but after thinking for a while, he still said stubbornly:

"Even so, they are not engaged, and...and I know Li Jinzhi's situation. Compared with him, I can give Miss Mei a better life."

At least in the northern region, in this city of Yanzhou, he can let Mei Xue suffer no grievances.

Shen Qingyang was pissed off by Du Zhe's naive thoughts, but when he remembered that he had said similar words to Mei Xue, he couldn't help feeling sad, and patted Du Zhe on the shoulder and said:
"You can't appreciate Miss Mei's hard work. You can't even imagine how difficult the road she and Li Jinzhi walked.

But I can tell you for sure that the two of them will never give up on each other, no matter how difficult the road ahead is.

Du Zhe, listen to me, if you really appreciate what Miss Mei has done for you and the palace, treat her as a close friend, just like... just like... me....

If you must go on willfully, you will regret it. "

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingyang strode out of Du Zhe's study.

Du Zhe stood dumbfounded, but before he could think of a clue, someone came flying to report to him, saying that Mrs. Zhu had committed suicide.

Zhu shunned the servants who were guarding her, and hung herself on the beam.

Du Zhe didn't want to think about Mei Xue any more, and rushed to Zhu's yard in a hurry.

Mei Xue did not rest all day and night, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she returned to the guest house.

When it was dark, she finally woke up, but saw that the servants of the palace were taking off the red lanterns at the door and replacing them with white ones.

Jiu'er also felt sad, and stood beside Mei Xue and whispered the news of Zhu's suicide.

Mei Xue closed her eyes and sighed inwardly.

It's a matter of time, Zhu's heart is dead, even if she barely survives, guilt and sadness will torture her day and night.

People always say that they are not afraid of death, so what else is there to be afraid of?
But for some people, living is really much harder than dying.

Such as loneliness, such as sadness, such as disappointment, such as the collapse of faith.Any kind of negative emotion accumulated to the extreme will become the last straw that crushes people.

Woke up at four in the morning to write an article, and saw the news of Coco Lee's death. I am not her fan, and I never chased any celebrity, but I still couldn't help crying.It's a very sad day. It turns out that we can have more hope and less sadness in our lives.
