Chapter 12: Sincerity

The person who came to the guest house to deliver things was Song Zhijie, Jiu'er said that Mei Xue was resting, and he didn't mind, and sat patiently on the stone bench in the guest house for more than an hour.

When Mei Xue invited him into the house, he was still smiling, and he didn't mean to be annoyed at all.

More than a dozen gift boxes were placed on the table, and Song Zhijie bowed to Mei Xue and said:

"Miss Mei, Song is apologizing to the girl on behalf of the eldest son."

Mei Xue didn't speak, and looked up at Song Zhijie with a calm face.

This person is really smart, as a staff member of the King of Shu, but he admitted so bluntly that he was here to do things for Li Jinzhi, which first showed his sincerity.

Song Zhijie didn't care about Mei Xue's coldness, and when Jiu'er took the tea and retreated to the courtyard to guard, he said a long word to Mei Xue.

When the first emperor died of illness, the princess of Xianshu had been dead for many years, and the entire inner house of the Shu palace was under the control of Concubine Lin.

The old lady of the Xiao family was worried about the safety of her grandson in the palace, but the Xiao family did not have an unmarried daughter of the right age to enter the palace as a stepfamily at that time.

So, in a hurry, Mrs. Xiao entered the palace and begged the queen mother, hoping to marry one of her concubines into the palace.

This is obviously inappropriate, but if the daughter of the Xiao family can't be the main room, how much help can Li Jinzhi have?

The king of Shu didn't like the princess, and when he was at a stalemate, a mad Taoist priest shouted out rebellious words in front of the gate of the palace.

At that time, Li Jinzhi happened to be seriously ill again, and many people thought that in this case, it was impossible for him to live.

Of course, without Li Jinzhi, there would be no need for the Shu Wangfu and the Xiao family to continue their marriage.

But no one expected that the king of Shu, who had always refused to continue the string, suddenly agreed to marry the current princess, and married her as quickly as possible and moved his family to Shu to settle in Shu.

"Gongzi also found out a little eyebrows after many years, the Taoist priest back then was arranged by Concubine Lin, her purpose was to force the prince to give up Gongzi and the Xiao family, after all, at that time, His Majesty had not been able to stabilize the government, and it was the time when the suspicion was the heaviest.

But she didn't expect that what she did forced the prince to take the opposite path. ”

Song Zhijie still had a smile on his face, but the news he said made Mei Xue's heart beat more than the other:

"In fact, Your Majesty has long been jealous of the eldest prince, although the prince was only a few years old at that time, but as the crown prince, watching the first emperor raise the prince by his side day by day, how could he not panic in his heart? Even if our prince has always been an idle and lazy character.

At that time, the crown princess, that is, our queen mother, took the opportunity of the princess's eagerness to marry into the palace to coerce the princess to attack the princess.

The princess couldn't bear it in the end, but her nurse Liu took it upon herself to poison her son.

And she didn't act secretly, and was held by Concubine Lin.

Over the years, that is, no one has cured the child's illness, so Concubine Lin has never had the opportunity to point a sword at the princess.

This time, Gongzi thought that he would not be able to survive, so he asked Gao Yuan to secretly send the Liu family away.

The reason why Gongzi did this was to protect the palace and the Xiao family, because once something happened to the princess, His Majesty and the queen would know that everything they did back then had been exposed, so whether it was for the fear of the year or for their own face, Gongzi, the entire palace, and even the Xiao family would definitely suffer a catastrophe.

After all, our majesty has always cared most about his reputation. ”

When Song Zhijie said this, he bowed down to give Mei Xue a long salute and said earnestly:

"Miss Mei, Song is just a cold man, and she doesn't have the face to ask the girl for forgiveness, but the son is sick, and Song can't bear to worry about this matter anymore, so he is good at making claims.

If the girl is willing to accept it, from now on, Song will owe the girl a great favor, but as long as the girl is driven, Song will never refuse.

If the girl refuses to accept it, according to Song's rebellious words today, the girl wants Song to cut himself immediately, and Song can only accept it. ”

After Song Zhijie finished speaking, he still maintained a deep bowing posture.

Mei Xue's heart was like a stormy wave rolling, but her face didn't show it at all, and she didn't invite Song Zhijie to sit down, but said lightly:

"Although I am a woman and young, I can also see the great talent of my husband.

Since there is sincerity, then please Mr. finish speaking, I don't believe that Mr. is willing to tell me such a confidential matter just to share the worries of the eldest prince. ”

Song Zhijie raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on his face gradually unfolded, and then he saluted again and said:

"The girl is really smart, so Song will no longer hide it.

Actually, I got a message, maybe it has something to do with the girl.

Song can responsibly tell the girl that the Yan family has never given up tracking down the whereabouts of the eldest girl of the Qiao family, just two days ago, in fact, someone had already rushed to Taiping Town, but the girl had already left with Lord Shen and Xiao Gongzi at that time. ”

Mei Xue stood up suddenly, and the worries about Mama Zhang, Yurong, and Ping An surged in her heart.

Although Shen Qingyang made arrangements, there were only a few guards left.

Song Zhijie hurriedly said:

"Childe has some manpower outside, and he has taken over the girl safely, so please don't worry about the girl."

Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still cold, and she looked at Song Zhijie lightly and said:

"In this way, Mr. is obviously here to apologize today, but in fact, he is to negotiate with me on behalf of the eldest son.

I never thought that I, a country woman, would be able to get the blue eyes of two nobles in a row. ”

Song Zhijie looked solemn again, looked at Mei Xue earnestly and said:

"Miss Mei, Lord Shen is the pillar of the country, and my son-in-law is even more open-minded.

It's just that in chaos, if you want to live, you have to be cautious, and there is no intention of coercing the girl.

Since the girl decided to enter Beijing, and knew that the Yan family would never allow the girl to live, why didn't she join forces with Gongzi?

You are a skilled doctor and can protect your son's body from being assassinated. And the son, including me, Song Zhijie, will definitely do his best to ensure the safety of the girl.

Further, didn't the girl suspect that there was something strange about the Mei family's extermination back then? Song can make a promise on behalf of the prince today, as long as the girl is willing, when you investigate this matter in the future, everyone in the capital of the Shu Wangfu can be driven by the girl. ”

Mei Xue was silent for a while before she smiled faintly and said:

"It seems that Mr. Song is very popular with his son, otherwise how dare he make such a heavy promise on behalf of his son?"

Mei Xue never felt that she was a noble person, she just didn't want to owe anyone else.

As long as both parties feel that the exchange of interests is fair, why not?

Hearing the loose meaning in Mei Xue's words, Song Zhijie smiled, looked at Mei Xue earnestly and said:

"Miss Mei, it's not that Song is arrogant, I just think that for a smart person like a girl, the greatest sincerity and best protection is not to arrange how many guards for you, but to let you clearly know the chaos we are in."

Mei Xue didn't speak again, and sat silently for a while before speaking:

"I understand my husband's kindness and accept it. I just hope, or maybe it's just a luxury, that one day, we can all get out of the chaos and live a stable life as ordinary people. ”

Song Zhijie's eyes brightened instantly, and he didn't say anything more, and walked out after clasping his fists at Mei Xue again.

Jiu'er entered the house with a puzzled face, not knowing that Song Zhijie was just giving a gift, how could he talk to Mei Xue for so long.

Mei Xue didn't explain a word, asked Jiu'er to put away the gift, and led her to the kitchen.
