she has golden eyes

As soon as Mei Xue arrived at the gate of Zhaoyang Hall, Li Jinyu came out to greet her, walked inside with Mei Xue and said in a low voice:
"Father is losing his temper. He thinks that the medicine prescribed by Guo Yuan is too bitter, so he smashed the medicine bowl."

Mei Xue didn't ask what kind of medicine it was, but asked Emperor Mingde how he slept these days.

Li Jinyu froze for a moment before replying, "No, I only slept for more than an hour last night."

Mei Xue stopped talking, nodded and continued walking inside.

Li Jinyu took a look at Mei Xue, knowing that she probably already had an idea in her mind, so she stopped talking.

An Jiang bent over and stood at the door of the imperial study, the wrinkles on his face relaxed when he saw Mei Xue.

When Mei Xue walked into the study, she saw Guo Yunqing, the envoy of the court, kneeling on the ground trembling, and Emperor Mingde was grading papers with a dark face.

The broken medicine bowl must have been cleaned up by An Jiang, and there were only a few sporadic marks on the ground.

Mei Xue knelt down to salute Emperor Mingde, but Emperor Mingde didn't speak, he just waved his hand to signal her to get up, and continued to read the scriptures still frowning.

Mei Xue got up, glanced at the prescription An Jiang handed over, nodded and walked outside.

In the tea room, An Jiang saw that Mei Xue was just making a cup of ordinary jasmine tea, so he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said:
"Miss Mei, this..."

Mei Xue shook her head with a smile, put a yellowish pill into the tea, then gently stirred the silver spoon and whispered to An Jiang:
"Superintendent, you are clear that no medicine will help His Majesty's body. A good night's sleep is the most important thing for him."

An Jiang was silent, seeing Mei Xue walking out with tea, he lowered his head and followed behind.

The hot and cold tea is just right, with a hint of sweetness.

Emperor Mingde drank half a cup of tea, the anger on his face finally calmed down, and he said to Guo Yunqing who was still kneeling on the ground:

"Go back to Tai Hospital."

Guo Yunqing hurriedly kowtowed, and when he got up to leave, he glanced gratefully at Mei Xue beside him.

Emperor Ming De approved two more papers, and tiredness appeared on his face.Li Jinyu kept bowing and standing beside the imperial case, then whispered:

"Father, you didn't sleep well last night, why don't you go and rest for a while first."

Emperor Mingde waved his hand, suddenly became irritable again and said:
"Why sleep? I can't sleep well anyway, so why waste time."

Li Jinyu hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and An Jiang and Mei Xue also knelt down.

Emperor Ming De threw away the pen irritably, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Mei Xue happened to be kneeling beside him, quickly got up and supported him.

Li Jinyu also hurried over to support Emperor Mingde, and Mei Xue said softly:

"Your Majesty, I have a way to let you sleep well. You don't need to take medicine, just listen to a story I tell you."

Emperor Mingde obviously didn't believe it, and even sneered.But he was so dizzy that he could hardly stand up, so he nodded and let Mei Xue and Li Jinyu help him to the bedroom.

Helping Emperor Mingde to lie down, Mei Xue asked An Jiang to lead the servants to withdraw the Anshenxiang from the room. Li Jinyu nodded to Mei Xue, and followed An Jiang out.

Mei Xue walked over and opened the window halfway, a gust of cold air rushed in, and the hot room that was originally burning with earth dragons quickly cooled down.

It was snowing heavily outside at some point, Mei Xue sat down on the brocade bench beside the bed, silently looking at Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde looked sideways at the heavy snow outside the window, his eyes gradually dimmed.

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, and began to describe in a low voice.

Different from the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers and clear springs and flowing water that other people talk about when they help them sleep, what Mei Xue whispers in her soft voice describes the thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting outside the Great Wall, the gold and iron horses on the battlefield and the desolation after the fierce battle.

Emperor Mingde fell into a deep sleep in such a description, his usual majesty was gone, like an ordinary old man, tired and weak.

Mei Xue stopped, looked at the sleeping Emperor Ming De, and looked at the faint tears in the corner of his eyes, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

Thanks to Song Zhijie's meticulous attention to details, Mei Xue learned about the past of Emperor Mingde and Empress Shen at the beginning of the year.

It was after that that Mei Xue understood why Emperor Mingde, who had always been stern, indifferent, selfish and suspicious, had indulged Empress Shen for so many years.

It was their long-term companionship when they were young, and their shared life and death on the battlefield, which made him retain the honor of queen for her even though he had been disappointed and even disgusted with Queen Shen for many years, even knowing that his first wife killed the emperor's heir He and his concubine also chose to suffer silently.

Probably only in this way can he feel that he still has some original intentions in the position of emperor, and can make him feel that he is not so unbearable!
Mei Xue sighed in her heart, got up and walked over to close the window gently, and then quietly exited the bedroom.

Both Li Jinyu and An Jiang waited outside in silence, and when they saw Mei Xue coming out, they both rushed to greet her.

Mei Xue made a silent movement, and the three of them walked lightly outside the hall together.

Li Jinyu turned around and closed the door, then asked Mei Xue softly:
"Miss Mei, can telling a story really make people fall asleep? How long will Father be able to sleep this time?"

Mei Xue shook her head with a smile and said softly:
"Weichen said that just to comfort His Majesty, if His Majesty knows that he can only fall asleep by taking medicine, he will inevitably feel anxious psychologically.

The storytelling was just an aid, and what made His Majesty fall asleep was the sedative that Weichen put in the tea.

If it is not affected by the outside world, His Majesty will sleep until tomorrow morning.He was so tired that he was almost at his limit mentally.

From now on, don't try to persuade His Majesty to take medicine anymore, any medicine is useless, the best medicine is to let His Majesty rest more. "

Li Jinyu's eyes turned red instantly, and before she could nod to Mei Xue, she hurriedly turned her face away to wipe away her tears.

An Jiang burst into tears, but was afraid of disturbing Emperor Mingde's rest, so he bit his lips and dared not make a sound.

It snowed heavily overnight and there was no sound.

An Jiang took two servants to guard the door of Emperor Mingde's bedroom, and Mei Xue slept peacefully in the room prepared for her in the side hall.

It was already dawn when she woke up, Mei Xue was a little flustered, afraid of delaying taking care of Emperor Mingde, she hurriedly washed and tidied up and left the side hall.

An Jiang waited in the corridor with a smile all over his face. When he saw Mei Xue coming out, he greeted her and said with a smile:
"Miss Mei, Your Majesty actually slept for seven or eight hours. He didn't wake up from half past noon yesterday until early this morning. After waking up, he was in a good spirit and mood. He even said that he was hungry, so he made an exception and ate some breakfast food. He was accompanied by His Royal Highness to go to court early."

This was expected by Mei Xue, she nodded with a smile, and said to An Jiang:

"Superintendent, I overslept today, please ask someone to call me before His Majesty wakes up."

An Jiang shook his head again and again, and led Mei Xue to the small dining hall, saying as he walked:

"That can't be done, His Majesty specifically told me not to wake you up."

When the two of them sat down to eat together, An Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's so good. His Majesty is in a good mood. Even His Royal Highness's life is getting better. Miss Mei, you don't know. These days, His Royal Highness is so tired... Oh, this old slave really loves me."

Mei Xue couldn't say anything, so she just nodded and began to eat in silence.

It is undeniable that Emperor Mingde is commendable in some respects.

For example, Qinzheng, for example, for old palace people like An Jiang.

Since An Jiang's health collapsed, when he went to court again, An Jiang would not be allowed to follow him to serve him.

Mei Xue knew that he felt sorry for An Jiang, and couldn't bear to let An Jiang stand in that hall for a long time.

How could An Jiang not understand?

Mei Xue raised her head, glanced at An Jiang's white hair, and thought of the torment he had suffered for Emperor Ming De, and felt deeply moved again.

A good night's sleep not only made Emperor Mingde feel better, but even the life of the entire Zhaoyang palace began to improve.

After a whole day, Emperor Mingde did not lose his temper again, and no palace servant was punished again.

Even Li Jinyu had a smile on his face. When he left Zhaoyang Hall and returned to the East Palace in the evening, he smiled and said to Mei Xue:

"With Miss Mei here, I don't worry. I will come back tomorrow morning to accompany my father to the morning court."

Mei Xue nodded, saluted and sent Li Jinyu off.
