Chapter 28 Dangerous Situation
When the fleet of the Shu Palace arrived at the Luoyang pier, there were already people from the palace and the Shu Palace waiting respectively.

Li Jinzhi wanted to enter the palace immediately, except for Peng Liang and Gao Yuan who went to wait outside the palace gate, the rest went back to the Shu Palace on Xuanren Street.

Mei Xue handed a green jade ring with a hollow inside to Li Jinzhi and said:

"You probably won't be able to return to the mansion until the palace gate is closed, so some eating and drinking cannot be avoided. If you feel abnormal, you can quietly take the pill in this ring, and then leave the palace and return to the mansion as soon as possible."

Li Jinzhi nodded, put the ring on his right index finger, then looked up at Mei Xue with a smile and said:
"There is a courtyard in the palace called Meiyuan. I have already ordered someone to clean it up. Miss Mei can live there with Ping An."

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled gently and said:
"If Miss Mei doesn't like it, you can live in the bamboo garden next door."

It's just a place to live, Mei Xue didn't think much about it, she nodded and left the cabin.

Shen Qingyang rode on the horse expressionlessly, the entire pier had been cleared long ago, now except for the people from the palace and Shu Palace who came to greet him, the rest were Shen Qingyang's subordinates who were busy.

The main purpose is to pick out the prisoners who have been detained all the way from the bottom of the cargo hold and send them directly to Habayashi Wei's prison.

Qiu Changhai and Zhao Kang had already lost their hands and feet, and were dragged by soldiers and thrown into the prison cart.

Along the way, two people have been tortured to the point where they lost their human form, while the rest of them looked quite normal.

Mei Xue put on the veiled hat, and Xiao Yan accompanied the group of people to sit in the carriage of Shu Palace.

When passing by Shen Qingyang, Mei Xue didn't even pause in her footsteps, but Xiao Yan stretched out her thumb and said to Shen Qingyang:
"Shen Qingyang, I have convinced you that you can ride a horse so quickly."

Shen Qingyang still kept a cold face and did not speak, his eyes quickly swept past Mei Xue.

Chen Yiling, who was standing aside, sighed secretly in his heart.

Xuanren Street was almost occupied by more than half of the Shu Palace. When the convoy arrived, the gate was already open, but the gate was only occupied by a few servants who were in charge of welcoming them, quietly and inconspicuously.

The carriage didn't stop until it reached the second gate, Xiao Yan took Mei Xue and his party out of the car, and said with a smile:
"The Plum Garden is the most beautiful courtyard in the whole palace. My aunt lived there when she was alive. Miss Mei, you will definitely like it."

Mei Xue stopped in her tracks, looked at Xiao Yan and said:

"You said that Meiyuan was the residence of the former princess?"

Xiao Yan nodded, looked at Mei Xue strangely and said:
"Yeah, what's the matter? Miss Mei."

Mei Xue remembered Li Jinzhi's searching eyes when he said that she was allowed to live in Meiyuan, so she sighed inwardly, and said to Xiao Yan:

"I'd better live in the bamboo garden. The prince said that the scenery there is also very good."

The residence of the first concubine will be the residence of the eldest concubine in the future. If she goes to live, what does it mean?
Xiao Yan was still puzzled, and asked Mei Xue strangely:
"Why don't you stay in the Plum Garden? It's the best courtyard in the palace. When the plum blossoms are in season, you just..."

"You have been to Taiping Town. I have liked that there are green bamboos everywhere since I was a child."

When Mei Xue said this, Xiao Yan felt that it was reasonable, so he happily led Mei Xue and his party to the bamboo garden.

The steward of the palace, Liang Pei, followed Mei Xue and Xiao Yan all the time. Hearing this, he quietly sized up Mei Xue, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

The bamboo garden is a courtyard with two entrances. Xiao Yan pointed to the clusters of green bamboos in the courtyard and said with a smile:
"When my cousin was young, before going to Chengdu, whenever he came back from the palace, he would live here. We often played here together."

Then he pointed to the east and said:

"Go east, cross a small bridge, and you will arrive at the Plum Garden."

Steward Liang led his servants to arrange the luggage of Mei Xue and the others. Xiao Yan hurried back to see Mrs. Xiao, bid farewell and left without staying long.

Meixue had lunch with Jiu'er and Yurong, and then washed and changed to rest.

But this afternoon nap, she slept very restlessly, and she barely got up after lying down for a while.

Mei Xue asked Jiu'er to ask Guanshi Liang to come to the main room, and asked him when the key of the palace gate was released, and how long it would take to get from Shu Palace to Miyagi.

Steward Liang hurriedly saluted and said:
"The gates of the palace are always closed in the middle of the Xu hour. As for going to Miyagi, it takes about two quarters of an hour to ride a horse. It's not easy to take a carriage. Sometimes there are many people on the street, and the walking time will be longer."

Mei Xue nodded, and let Guanshi Liang go out without saying anything.

Jiu'er was puzzled, carefully watching Mei Xue's face and dared not speak.

Mei Xue turned her face to look at Jiu'er, smiled faintly and said:

"It's nothing. I just feel that Shizi's body has not fully recovered. If he stays in the palace for too long and can't rest, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."

Jiu'er nodded after thinking about it, and her face became sad.

As soon as she arrived in Xushi, Mei Xue opened the medicine box and took the pills, and told Nanny Zhang and Yu Rong to take good care of Ping An, and she took Jiu'er and walked quickly to the outer courtyard.

Guanshi Liang heard that Meixue was going to Miyagi, so he didn't ask any further questions, and immediately sent two horses to the corner gate.

Luoyang in Xushi was the busiest time of the day, but Mei Xue didn't care about him, so she put on her veiled hat and set off behind Mei Gang.

There were no other cars and horses waiting outside Miyagi, Gao Yuan was running around in a hurry, seeing Mei Xue coming was like seeing a savior.

"Miss Mei, we have stuffed money several times, but we still can't find out anything."

Gao Yuan was also worried about Li Jinzhi's body, and his face was covered with sweat.

At this moment Peng Liang ran over from a distance, wiped the sweat off his face and said to Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, Master He from the Ministry of Industry has just left the palace, I went to ask him, and he revealed a little news.

It is said that today the son went to see His Majesty after serving the Empress Dowager's illness, and when His Majesty lost his temper and punished the prince to kneel, the son had to kneel too.

Later, the son went in to have dinner with His Majesty, and never left Zhaoyang Hall again. "

"Did you say how long you have been kneeling?"

Mei Xue asked lightly, but her heart was already suspended.

For Li Jinzhi, it is dangerous to not rest during the day, let alone kneeling in this dry autumn.

Peng Liang obviously understood the power of this, and his voice choked up immediately:

"Say yes, say yes... I knelt for two full hours."

Gao Yuan stomped his feet angrily after hearing this, and Mei Xue also clenched her fists in her sleeves, but she still comforted them and said:

"Don't be in a hurry, since there is no news from inside, there must be nothing serious about the son."

Emperor Mingde valued his own reputation the most. If Li Jinzhi had a major incident on the first day he entered Beijing, everyone would know about it.

But no matter what, he must suffer this time.

In the middle of the hour, the palace gate was closed on time, Mei Xue and the others were still guarding outside, but Jiu'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Mei Gang frowned, squatting beside the carriage in silence.

Peng Liang and Gao Yuan took the bank notes several times and went to the gate of the palace to ask for news, but they all returned disappointed.

Mei Xue did not speak, and returned to the carriage that Li Jinzhi rode in when she arrived, and silently spread the brocade quilt and soft pillow.

Tonight, Li Jinzhi was lucky to be able to lie down and go back safely.

It was almost Haishi, and the sky began to rain sporadically, the palace gate finally opened again, and an open sedan chair was carried out by the eunuchs.

Peng Liang and Gao Yuan galloped to greet them, while Mei Xue stood beside the carriage, silently looking at Li Jinzhi on the sedan chair.

Under the reflection of the huge palace lantern, Li Jinzhi's face was pale. He was leaning against the back of the sedan chair, his arms hanging limply on the armrests.

But the moment his eyes searched for Mei Xue, he still smiled gently as usual.

Mei Xue pursed her lips and silently let out a long sigh of relief.

Gao Yuan carried Li Jinzhi into the carriage, Mei Xue had already poured hot water, and immediately took out a pill wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve and fed it to Li Jinzhi.

Li Jinzhi was lying on the brocade quilt, looking extremely tired, but his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Mei Xue.

Gao Yuan took Peng Liang out for a drive together, Mei Xue untied Li Jinzhi's clothes, lowered her head and gently massaged Juque and Tanzhong acupoints for him.

The carriage didn't dare to go too fast, the silver horn lamps hanging on the four corners shook slightly.

Li Jinzhi gradually recovered, took a breath and thanked Mei Xue, who shook her head and said softly:
"Stop talking, get some sleep first."

Li Jinzhi laughed again, and closed his eyes obediently.

Mei Xue covered Li Jinzhi with the brocade quilt, and sat down beside him on her knees.

He must have been extremely tired, Li Jinzhi soon fell asleep.

The sleeping Li Jinzhi didn't have the usual smile on his face, he was curled up, his brows were tightly furrowed, like a wronged child.

He didn't sleep well, his head and hands kept moving, and he finally let go of his frowning brows until he was next to Mei Xue's arm.

Mei Xue closed her eyes and sighed silently, but she didn't move her arms away after all.
