When the fleet of the Shu Wangfu arrived at the Luoyang wharf, there were already people from the palace and the Shu Wangfu waiting respectively.

Li Jinzhi wanted to enter the palace immediately, except for Peng Liang and Gao Yuan who followed him to wait outside the palace gate, and the rest of them went back to the Shu Wangfu 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 go back to the house until the palace gate is closed, so some eating and drinking can't be shirked, if you feel abnormal, you will quietly eat the pills in this ring, and then leave the palace and return home as soon as possible."

Li Jinzhi nodded, put the ring on the index finger of his right hand, then looked up at Mei Xue with a smile and said:

"There is a courtyard in the palace called Plum Garden, I have ordered someone to clean it up, Miss Mei can live there with peace."

After a moment's hesitation, he smiled softly again and said:

"If Miss Ruomei doesn't like it, she can also live in the bamboo garden next to it."

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

Shen Qingyang rode on the horse expressionlessly, the entire dock had already been cleared, and now except for the people in the palace and the Shu Palace, the rest were Shen Qingyang's subordinates who were busy.

The main thing is to pull out those prisoners who have been escorted all the way from the bottom of the cargo hold and send them directly to Yu Linwei's prison.

Qiu Changhai and Zhao Kang had already been scrapped and were dragged into the prisoner cart by the soldiers.

Along the way, the two people had been tortured to the point that they had lost their human form, and the remaining ones looked quite normal.

Mei Xue wore a hat, and the group was accompanied by Xiao Yan to get into the carriage of the Shu Palace.

When passing by Shen Qingyang's side, Mei Xue's footsteps didn't even pause, but Xiao Yan stretched out his thumb and said to Shen Qingyang:

"Shen Qingyang, I can convince you, you can ride a horse so quickly."

Shen Qingyang still had a cold face and didn't speak, and his eyes quickly swept over Mei Xue.

Chen Yiling, who was standing on the side, sighed secretly in his heart.

Xuanren Street was almost occupied by the Shu Wangfu, and when the convoy arrived, the gate had been opened, but there were only a few people at the door who were responsible for greeting them, and it was quiet and inconspicuous.

The carriage stopped directly at the second gate, Xiao Yan picked up Mei Xue and his party and got off the car, and said with a smile:

"The plum garden is the best courtyard in the whole palace, my aunt lived there when she was alive, Miss Mei, you will definitely like it."

Mei Xue stopped, looked at Xiao Yan and said:

"You said that the plum garden is the residence of the former princess?"

Xiao Yan nodded, looked at Mei Xue strangely and said:

"yes, what's wrong? Miss May. ”

Mei Xue remembered the inquisitive look in Li Jinzhi's eyes when she just said that she would live in the Plum Garden, so she sighed in her heart and said to Xiao Yan:

"I'd better live in the bamboo garden, Shizi said, the scenery there is also very good."

The residence of the first princess will be the residence of the princess in the future, what does it mean if she goes to live?

Xiao Yan was still puzzled, and asked Mei Xue strangely:

"Why don't you live in the plum garden? That's the best courtyard in the palace, and when the plum blossoms are in season, it's ......."

"You've been to Taiping Town, and I've loved it 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.

Liang Pei, the steward of the palace, had been following Mei Xue and Xiao Yan, and when he heard this, he quietly glanced at Mei Xue, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

The bamboo garden is a two-entry courtyard, Xiao Yan pointed to the several clumps of green bamboo in the courtyard and said with a smile:

"When my cousin was young, before he went to Chengdu, as long as he came back from the palace, he would live here, and we often played here together."

Then he pointed to the east and said:

"Go east, cross a small bridge, and you'll reach the Plum Garden."

Steward Liang led the subordinates to settle the luggage of Mei Xue and the others, and Xiao Yan was in a hurry to go back to see Mrs. Xiao, so he said goodbye and left without staying long.

Mei Xue, Jiu'er, and Yurong had lunch together, and then washed and changed clothes to rest.

But this afternoon she slept unusually unsteadily, and barely lay down for a while before getting up.

Mei Xue asked Jiu'er to call Steward Liang to the main room, asked him what time the key to the palace gate was, and asked how long it would take to get from the Shu Palace's Mansion to the palace.

Steward Liang hurriedly saluted and said:

"The palace gate has always been closed in the middle of the hour, as for going to the palace, it takes about two quarters of an hour to ride a horse, and it is not easy to say by carriage, sometimes there are many people on the street, and the walking time is longer."

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

Jiu'er was puzzled, carefully peeking at Mei Xue's face and not daring to speak.

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

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

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

When she first arrived, Mei Xue opened the medicine box and took the pills, and told Mama Zhang and Yurong to take good care of Ping'an, and she took Jiu'er to the outer courtyard quickly.

When Steward Liang heard that Mei Xue was going to Miyagi, he didn't ask much, and immediately asked people to lead two horses to the corner gate.

Luoyang was the busiest time of the day, but Mei Xue didn't care about it, put on a hat and set off behind Mei Gang.

There were no other waiting carriages and horses outside the palace, and Gao Yuan was in a hurry, and seeing Mei Xue coming was like seeing a savior.

"Miss Mei, we've stuffed the silver a few times, but we still can't find any news."

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

Peng Liang ran from a distance at this time, wiped the sweat on his face and said to Mei Xue:

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

said that today the prince went to see His Majesty after serving the Queen Mother, and when His Majesty was throwing a tantrum and punishing the prince to kneel, the prince had to kneel.

Later, the prince went in to accompany His Majesty to dinner, and never left the Zhaoyang Palace. ”

"Didn't say how long did you kneel?"

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

For Li Jinzhi, it is already 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 suddenly choked:

"Say yes, say yes...... He knelt for two hours. ”

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

"Don't worry, since there is no news inside, there must be nothing serious about the world."

Emperor Mingde values his reputation the most, and if Li Jinzhi has a big incident on the first day of entering Beijing, he will definitely make a fuss.

But in any case, he must have suffered this time.

Halfway through, the palace gate closed on time, Mei Xue and the others were still guarding outside, and Jiu'er was already so anxious that she was about to cry.

Mei Gang frowned, squatting beside the carriage and silent.

Peng Liang and Gao Yuan took the silver tickets and went to the palace gate several times to ask for news, but they were all disappointed.

Mei Xue didn't speak, returned to the carriage that Li Jinzhi was riding in when she came, and silently laid out the brocade quilt and soft pillows.

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

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

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

Under the reflection of the huge palace lamp, Li Jinzhi's face was pale, he leaned on the back of the sedan chair, and his arms hung weakly on the armrests.

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

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

Gao Yuan carried Li Jinzhi into the carriage, Mei Xue had already poured hot water, and immediately took out the 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 pulled Peng Liang out to drive together, Mei Xue untied Li Jinzhi's clothes, lowered her head and gently massaged the Juque acupoint and the Jizhong acupoint for him.

The carriage did not dare to go too fast, and the silver horn lamps hanging at the four corners shook slightly.

Li Jinzhi gradually relieved, took a breath and thanked Mei Xue, Mei Xue shook her head at him and whispered:

"Stop talking, you get a good night's sleep first."

Li Jinzhi smiled again and closed his eyes very obediently.

Mei Xue covered Li Jinzhi with the brocade quilt and sat next to him on her knees.

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

There was no usual smile on the face of the sleeping Li Jinzhi, he curled up, his brows furrowed tightly, like a wronged child.

He slept restlessly, his head and hands kept moving, and it was not until he was next to Mei Xue's arm that he finally relaxed his frowning brow.

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