she has golden eyes

Chapter 59 and the wedding ceremony

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi met Li Jinyu outside Zhaoyang Hall.

Li Jinyu had lost weight obviously, and her originally fair face was covered with a layer of yellow-gray.

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi saluted him, but he just nodded with a smile, and hurried to Zhaoyang Hall without saying a word.

He didn't even dare to look Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi in the eyes.

On the carriage back, Mei Xue said lightly:
"His condition has worsened, and he must have been unable to sleep for a long time."

Li Jinzhi naturally knew who Mei Xue was referring to by "he", so he asked silently:

"Is there any cure for this disease?"

"No, he has only one way to die suddenly, and the death will be very miserable, with bleeding from the mouth and nose, and extremely painful."

"How much time is left then?"

"Not more than two years, the premise is that no one wants him to die sooner."

After Mei Xue finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Li Jinzhi, and silently lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

Ever since the abnormality in the East Palace, especially the news of the "died" of the emperor's grandson Li Mingze, and the fact that Emperor Mingde's body collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, several concubines with princes in the palace began to feel restless .

Although their sons are still young, they are still princes after all.

What kind of person Empress Shen is, they naturally know better than anyone else.

Not just for self-preservation, some people have greater ambitions.

Among the news that Song Zhijie got, there was one piece about this: Liu Zhaoyi had secretly taken refuge in Concubine Shu, the birth mother of the fourth prince, and now there was a singer in Liu Zhaoyi's palace who was very popular with Emperor Mingde, and this singer came from Concubine Shu his hometown Yunnan.

Both the second prince and the third prince died at birth. The fourth prince, Li Jinhong, is the second only to Li Jinyu in age. He is 15 years old this year.

Concubine Shu and Liu Zhaoyi were already very careful in their actions, but they still missed their tracks.

If Song Zhijie could find out, Queen Shen would naturally be able to find out, but it only took a few days of effort.

"Bitch, you're so courageous, you dare to play tricks with me."

When Empress Shen received Aunt He's report, she smashed the cup in her hand on the spot.

Concubine Shu was born in a humble background, and would be the best at being low-key, otherwise Empress Shen would not have allowed her to be the first to keep the prince and climb to the concubine position.

Aunt He hurriedly knelt down and continued:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's bitch is extremely cunning, she actually found a woman with a foreign face, and she was quite coquettish..."

Aunt He was obviously very anxious, so she changed the subject and said:

"That old eunuch of Anjiang didn't even have a word of mouth. The slaves got the clue from the little group in Zhaoyang Palace. Your Majesty has met the fourth prince several times with Liu Zhaoyi."

Xiao Qunzi is also An Jiang's apprentice, and he is very clever.

"Since that Xiaoqunzi is a sensible person, you should keep him close. As for An Jiang, if he is so loyal, then I will definitely help him."

Empress Shen spoke slowly, and the armor on her hand made several deep marks on the armrest of the rosewood round chair.

Li Mingze's treatment was not smooth, the child was too young to cooperate at all, and it was not suitable for sedative drugs.

Li Jinzhi spent a lot of time in the bamboo garden, accompanying Mei Xue to treat Li Mingze.

The little child often cried heartbreakingly, and was only willing to be hugged by Li Jinzhi.

In his eyes, Mei Xue was just someone who always stabbed him with needles.

Mei Xue often felt distressed, this poor child, he was actually afraid in his heart, and he knew who could protect him.

In order not to delay Li Mingze's treatment, Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi didn't even consider Emperor Mingde's suggestion to go to the palace.

Because it takes at least ten days to make a trip.

Let alone sending Mrs. Mei's bones back to Qiantang.

Even Mei Xue was unwilling to do her own ceremony.

In her heart, this kind of formality was far less important than treating Li Mingze's illness.

Li Jinzhi felt very guilty. On the winter solstice day, he did not go to the palace to attend the banquet, but accompanied Mei Xue to the suburbs to pay homage to Mrs. Mei. After returning, he began to quietly prepare for Mei Xue's wedding ceremony.

The crown princess was left in Anguo Temple by the queen mother, and she returned to the palace with Princess Chenyang and Princess Changle.

On the day of Mei Xue and Ji Li, she and Princess Chen Yang prepared gifts, and Princess Changle led the servants to send them to the Shu Palace.

Xiao Yan also came to the palace to congratulate Mei Xue, accompanied by Liang Jinsong, who brought an important gift from Wu Anhou and his wife.

The banquet was arranged in Meiyuan, and Princess Changle finally persisted until the banquet ended, and finally couldn't help but said to Mei Xue:
"Just let me see that kid. I asked my cousin to apologize for me. I didn't mean to discriminate against him."

Mei Xue glanced at her and still didn't speak, Xiao Yan laughed and said to Princess Changle:

"I'll bring you Ping An, but you have to remember that Ping An is the treasure of all of us."

Seeing that Mei Xue had no objection, Xiao Yan happily went to the bamboo garden.

When he returned with peace in his arms, Xiao Yan became a little restless. He kept secretly looking at Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue, but he didn't ask any questions in front of everyone.

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi knew that they couldn't hide it from Xiao Yan, he would come to the palace whenever he was free.

But Xiao Yan has always been reliable.

Princess Changle fell in love with Ping An the first time she saw him, and said to Mei Xue with a smile:

"It can be seen that the rumors are unbelievable. This child is as cute as a snow doll. What's so scary?"

After finishing speaking, she snatched the peace from Xiao Yan's arms, and went to play in the plum grove by herself.

Jiu'er hurriedly followed behind, for fear that Princess Changle would not take care of her safely.

Xiao Yan laughed and said:
"You don't know yet, do you? Shen Qingyang has met his nemesis this time. The princess is now going to trouble him every few days. His injury is not good enough to move, and the few old servants in the mansion dare not Stop the princess."

Mei Xue pursed her lips after hearing this, and went to look at Li Jinzhi, only to see him smiling cheerfully.

Before leaving the palace, Princess Changle gave Ping An a horsewhip inlaid with gold and jade as a gift, and said to Mei Xue:

"You are such a bad temper, but I am the same as you now, and I also like peace. You are not allowed to hold grudges for this matter in the future."

Mei Xue didn't answer her words, and only asked Jiu'er to bring two bottles of the medicinal ointment she made by herself and give it to Princess Changle.

Princess Changle left very happily, and pinched Chang'an's little face before leaving.

Xiao Yan walked with Liang Jinsong, but he ran back after less than an hour.

Li Jinzhi asked someone to welcome him into the bamboo garden.

Xiao Yan looked at Li Mingze in Li Jinzhi's arms, and said after a long time:

"You guys are too courageous. Now I finally understand why Shen Qingyang was hurt so badly."

Xiao Yan naturally knew about the news of the emperor's grandson's death. Others might not have thought of it, but he knew what was going on as soon as he saw Li Mingze.

Although he had never seen the child before.

Mei Xue was holding the small bowl that Li Mingze used to drink water, she handed the spoon to Li Jinzhi, looked at Xiao Yan and said nothing.

Li Jinzhi calmly said to Xiao Yan:

"This is an ordinary child I adopted. Even if you are with your grandmother in the future, you have to say that."

Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly, and looked back at Li Mingze frequently when he left.

There is obviously something wrong with this child, either crying loudly, or not responding, and his hands and feet are still shaking.

In the evening, Li Jinzhi came to Zhuyuan again, and brought a gift from Shen Qingyang to Mei Xue.

A plum blossom hairpin made of white jade is placed in a brocade box carved with plum patterns.

Li Jinzhi handed the box to Mei Xue and said softly:

"Accept it, Mr. Shen is open-minded, otherwise no one will send the gift to me first."

Mei Xue nodded, her lowered eyes lightly stroked the plum pattern on the box.

Both she and Li Jinzhi regarded Shen Qingyang as close friends, and hoped that one day Shen Qingyang would treat them the same way.

Li Jinzhi lightly shook Mei Xue's hand and said:
"These days you have been busy for Mingze, and you have never rested.

The flowers in the plum garden are blooming just right, and Mingze is asleep right now, let me accompany you to the plum garden! "

Mei Xue nodded, put on her cloak and went out with Li Jinzhi.

There is still snow hanging on the treetops and branches, and some plum blossoms are wrapped in ice, crystal clear.

The setting sun was half hanging behind the distant mountains, and the golden light covered the entire plum forest.

The two walked through the forest, and finally stopped at the end of the path.

Li Jinzhi closed Mei Xue's cloak and said to her:
"It has been found out that the reason why Concubine Shu dared to take action is because King Lu supported her behind her back."

Mei Xue raised her head, met Li Jinzhi's eyes and nodded silently.

It seems that she is not the only one who can see Emperor Mingde's illness, some people probably know more than she and Li Jinzhi.

There are also some people, perhaps the instigators.
