When I returned to the palace, it was already early in the morning, and in the courtyard where Li Jinzhi lived in the outer courtyard, Song Zhijie and Chen Yiling had been waiting.

The night rain was still dripping, Gao Yuan carried Li Jinzhi all the way into the bedroom, and Mei Xue followed closely behind.

Li Jinzhi threw up on the bed for a while, Peng Liang and Gao Yuan cleaned up, gave him tea to rinse his mouth, and then brought up the medicinal food that Mei Xue had prepared in the afternoon.

Li Jinzhi ate half a bowl of medicinal food, and his face gradually eased, Mei Xue asked him what he ate and drank in the palace today, Li Jinzhi lowered his eyes and chuckled:

"Uncle Huang is considerate of me living in Shu for a long time, and specially ordered the imperial dining room to make a table of authentic Sichuan dishes."

Mei Xue, Song Zhijie, and Chen Yiling were all silent when they heard this.

Li Jinzhi's body, not to mention spicy Sichuan cuisine, is an ordinary light diet, and he must be cautious.

Emperor Mingde's care is really subtle to the extreme.

Song Zhijie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked An Jiang if he was on duty today.

Li Jinzhi handed the jade bowl in his hand to Peng Liang, took the hot handkerchief handed by Gao Yuan and wiped his hands and face, and said with a gentle smile:

"Eunuch An is about to be on duty today, I didn't see him."

Song Zhijie smiled and said:

"This old fox."

Mei Xue didn't speak from beginning to end, she adjusted the ointment, asked Peng Liang to put it on Li Jinzhi's knee, and went back to the bamboo garden.

The rain was still falling outside, and a mother-in-law was waiting with a small sedan chair, and Jiu'er was also waiting with an umbrella.

It was almost dawn when she went to bed after washing, but Mei Xue still told Jiu'er to wake her up in an hour.

The genius lit up slightly, and Mei Xue didn't care about eating breakfast and went to the outer courtyard again.

Li Jinzhi slept so deeply that he didn't even notice that Mei Xue sat down on the edge of his bed.

Mei Xue whispered to Peng Liang:

"You let people guard outside the palace gate, if there is someone in the palace, try to delay it for a while, and let someone tell me first."

Peng Liang nodded hurriedly and retreated lightly.

Li Jinzhi, who was asleep, turned over and turned his face towards Mei Xue.

Mei Xue looked at him quietly for a while, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

When did this good-looking man slowly start to feel sorry for him and worry about him?

Li Jinzhi's right hand hanging on the edge of the bed kept rubbing, trying to grab something.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes, looked at his slender fingers, hesitated for a moment and stretched out her right hand.

Li Jinzhi's slightly cool palm immediately grabbed Mei Xue's hand, and moved his head over, and his face was against the back of Mei Xue's hand before he continued to sleep peacefully.

After sitting like this for half an hour, Gao Yuan walked in, and when he saw Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue holding hands, he immediately turned his face away, bent down next to Mei Xue and whispered:

"Miss Mei, someone has come to the palace, it's Eunuch An, who wants to take the prince into the palace."

Mei Xue slowly pulled her hand out of Li Jinzhi's hand and whispered to Gao Yuan:

"You go and invite him to drink tea and come in again, and say that the prince hasn't slept all night, and he is taking medicine at this time."

Gao Yuan nodded and walked out with light steps.

Mei Xue opened the medicine box on the table and arranged the few things to be used before walking to the bed and waking Li Jinzhi up softly.

The moment he opened his eyes and saw Mei Xue, Li Jinzhi smiled again and said to Mei Xue:

"When did Miss Mei come over? You also rested late last night, so you don't have to come so early. ”

Mei Xue shook her head, helped Li Jinzhi to sit up, and put two soft pillows behind him before she whispered:

"Eunuch An is here, but you have to rest today, you just do what I say."

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement, thank you Miss Mei."

Li Jinzhi still smiled, and let Mei Xue smear the medicinal powder on his hands, face and neck.

At the end, Mei Xue took out another pill and put it in Li Jinzhi's sleeve and said:

"Wait and talk to Eunuch An, if you smell this sleeve, you will cough fiercely."

Li Jinzhi nodded, Mei Xue poured half a bowl of soup medicine from the warm pot and put it on the table next to the bed, and then nodded towards Li Jinzhi.

An Jiang is a very kind person, white and fat, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

After entering the bedroom, he first glanced at Mei Xue who was standing at the end of the bed, and then smiled and saluted Li Jinzhi and said:

"Your Majesty is worried about the son, and the Queen Mother is also talking about you, so I sent an old slave to pick you up early in the morning."

Li Jinzhi's face was turmeric, and before he could respond to An Jiang's words, he leaned over the bed and coughed violently.

An Jiang's smile paused, turned his face to look at Mei Xue and said:

"I heard that there is a medical girl who is proficient in medical skills around the prince, but are you a girl?"

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and saluted An Jiang, and said lightly:

"The people's daughter is just a little bit of a yellow number, and it just happens to alleviate the pain of the son."

An Jiang smiled again, looked at Mei Xue kindly for a while, and said:

"He looks young, but he is a talker, and he likes it."

Mei Xue saluted again, she didn't speak again, but walked over, took a handkerchief from the tray on the table and handed it to Li Jinzhi.

Li Jinzhi finally stopped coughing, gasped and smiled at An Jiang:

"Prison Lao has been waiting for a long time, I'll wash up and clean up."

An Jiang's eyes fell on the handkerchief in Li Jinzhi's hand, and although the faint blush was quickly folded and covered by Li Jinzhi, he still saw it.

An Jiang looked at Mei Xue with a faint smile in his eyes.

Mei Xue saluted him again and said:

"Shizi is not in good health, the autumn rain is cold, and he suffered some cold last night, so that he coughed and didn't sleep all night."

Li Jinzhi began to cough violently again, coughing so much that fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

Mei Xue looked at him with worried eyes.

An Jiang looked clear, nodded with a smile and said:

"Since the prince is seriously ill, there is no need to rush into the palace with the old slave.

The old slave will go back first and report it, and wait for His Majesty's will. ”

Li Jinzhi seemed to be taken aback, he coughed so much that he couldn't speak, but he waved his hand again and again to refuse.

Mei Xue walked up to An Jiang, gave him a deep salute and said:

"Thank you for your compassion, the so-called gentleman is virtuous. When the folk girl was in Shudi, she heard a lot about His Majesty's benevolent name, and now when she sees her father-in-law acting, she is even more convinced. ”

An Jiang was really happy at this time, smiled hehe, pointed to Mei Xue and said to Li Jinzhi:

"The old slave is a eunuch, but he doesn't deserve such praise from the girl.

But I have to say that the prince is blessed, and with such a caring person by his side, the queen mother can rest assured. ”

Mei Xue sent An Jiang out of the bedroom, Song Zhijie was already waiting outside, and when he sent An Jiang out of the courtyard, he stuffed a thick red envelope.

Mei Xue returned to the bedroom, Peng Liang and Gao Yuan had already cleaned up Li Jinzhi, Mei Xue watched him eat some light meals and then fell asleep, but she herself did not go back to the bamboo garden, but stayed in the wing room to rest after using some food.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiao Yan to come in a hurry, he should have known about Li Jinzhi's late return yesterday, and hurriedly asked Mei Xue how Li Jinzhi was.

Mei Xue sat down in the chair and said to him lightly:

"It's fine, but he needs a few days off, and if you don't have anything important, don't bother him."

Xiao Yan nodded, he naturally didn't dare to complain about yesterday's events, but after all, he was angry, so he snorted and said:

"I met Peng Liang outside just now, and as soon as I heard him say it, I knew that nothing good happened."

Mei Xue glanced at him and didn't speak, took the teacup in her hand and lowered her head and drank it slowly.

Xiao Yan looked at the two black greens under Mei Xue's eyes, was grateful, and sat next to her and whispered:

"Thank you Miss Mei for taking care of my cousin for her hard work, my grandmother also said that my cousin is not in good health, so please don't rush to visit her, and rest for a few days first."

Mei Xue nodded but still didn't speak, Xiao Yan's face was gloomy, and he sat for a while and said:

"I originally thought it would be the same for my grandmother to come to the palace to visit my cousin, but if my grandmother said that if she did this, outsiders would say that my cousin was unfilial."

Mei Xue said softly:

"People are terrible, and it's better not to let people take advantage of it."

Xiao Yan nodded, sat silently for a while, and then left the palace.

As Mei Xue expected, Shen Qingyang soon came to the Shu Palace, and Mei Xue walked out of the wing room and stopped him in the courtyard.
