After a night of wind and rain, the flowers are almost gone, and the white osmanthus petals on the ground are densely covered.

The woman in green clothes and green shoes, her face was a little pale, with a faint dark blue under her eyes, only her expression was as cold as usual, blocking the middle of the path and looking at him.

Shen Qingyang only felt that his heart was instantly blocked by a breath, and he couldn't help but sneer and sneer:

"I heard that Miss Mei waited at the gate of the palace last night until midnight, but now she still has the spirit to stay here, it's really admirable!"

Mei Xue was indifferent to Shen Qingyang's sarcasm, looked at him coldly and said:

"What I do has nothing to do with Lord Shen. What you think of me doesn't matter to me.

Say, what are you doing here? ”

Shen Qingyang became even more annoyed, took two steps closer and stared at Mei Xue's eyes and said:

"When did you become the master of this Shu Palace? Can I come to the palace or not, do I have your consent? ”

Mei Xue didn't mean to back down at all, she still looked at Shen Qingyang coldly and said:

"I am but a healer in this palace, but the prince is my patient, and he needs to rest now.

If your business is so important that not seeing him today would endanger his life, then I'll let you in now. Otherwise, you'll come back another day, or at least wait until after today's day. ”

Shen Qingyang was directly laughed at angrily and said:

"Okay, then I won't look for Li Jinzhi, I'll just ask you, when are you going to see Mama Mei?"

Mei Xue glanced back at the main room, Peng Liang was guarding the door, staring at Shen Qingyang with a wary face.

Whether it is Song Zhijie or Liang Steward, they can't stop Shen Qingyang from entering the mansion. Peng Liang had already thought about it, if Mei Xue couldn't get rid of Shen Qingyang, he would fight with this guy again today.

Sighing slightly in her heart, Mei Xue slowed down her face and said to Shen Qingyang:

"The prince has been in Shu for many years, and when he suddenly returned to Beijing, it was easy to be unadaptable, not to mention that he was not in good health.

Therefore, I have to wait a few more days, when Shizi is better, and also for an unobtrusive time to go out. ”

A hint of imperceptible sadness flashed in Shen Qingyang's eyes, a person as cold as her and as arrogant as her, now for Li Jinzhi, she was willing to explain to him.

And he, in order to see her, was busy all day and night to prepare, how could he be so ridiculous?

The two looked at each other like this for a while, Mei Xue still had no intention of backing down, and Shen Qingyang silently turned around and walked out.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and stood for a while, then turned around and went back to the wing.

Before it got dark, there were several waves of people who came to visit Li Jinzhi, several princes and princes in Beijing, and some of the original relatives and friends of the Shu Prince's Mansion, but they were all pushed away by Song Zhijie and Liang Steward.

Li Jinzhi was able to sleep peacefully until dusk.

Seeing that Li Jinzhi's face had improved significantly, and he had drunk half a bowl of medicinal food, Peng Liang and Gao Yuan were both happy and smiling.

Song Zhijie came in to talk to Li Jinzhi, and Mei Xue got up and prepared to leave.

Li Jinzhi stopped her and said:

"In the future, when Mr. Song comes to speak, Miss Mei doesn't have to avoid suspicion."

Song Zhijie also got up and raised his hand to invite Mei Xue to sit.

Mei Xue was silent, and finally sat down in the round chair next to Song Zhijie.

Li Jinzhi first asked Song Zhijie about equipping Mei Gang with manpower, and Song Zhijie smiled and said:

"This matter has been arranged this afternoon, Qin Li and Sun Qiang are very skilled, and they are also familiar with everything in Beijing, I have already let them meet Mei Gang, and I will let them help Miss Mei do things in the future."

Mei Xue knew that Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie had already planned for this, so she got up and thanked the two.

With these people, it will be much more convenient for her to do things in the future, and she doesn't need to trouble Li Jinzhi for everything.

After sitting down again, Li Jinzhi talked about kneeling outside the imperial study yesterday:

"It was said that the imperial brother's rudeness in front of the emperor angered the imperial uncle, but I always felt that it was not like it, looking at the imperial brother's face, it was quite sad."

Song Zhijie slowly shook his fan and smiled:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has assisted His Majesty in handling political affairs for many years, and the imperial study and cabinet are often gone, how can the royal court be rude?

I have already asked Peng Liang and Gao Yuan, and Peng Liang said that several adults in the Ministry of Industry left the palace late at night yesterday, and I suspect that there is something strange about this. ”

In recent years, Emperor Mingde has been keen on large-scale construction, not only building new palaces, but also recovering the palace outside Luoyang City, which is extremely extravagant.

The crown prince Li Jinyu has persuaded many times, and those ministers who support the prince in the court have also written to them.

Even in order to restrain the extravagance of Emperor Mingde, these ministers simply united to impeach the people of the Ministry of Works.

Those people in the Ministry of Industry were in a dilemma, and Emperor Mingde felt even more shameless.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to blame the prince.

Mei Xue didn't know anything about this, so naturally she couldn't comment. She thought for a moment and said:

"When Shizi just left the palace last night, there was a slight smell of magnolia on his clothes, I would like to ask Shizi to recall, where did you come into contact with incense?"

Song Zhijie frowned and asked Mei Xue what was wrong.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying:

"Doctors often use magnolia incense to relieve dryness and heat, but in fact, it also has a special effect that is not well known."

Mei Xue raised her head when she said this, looked at Li Jinzhi and said slowly:

"It can effectively alleviate the discomfort caused by the pill, so that the side effects of the pill are not exposed so quickly."

The smiles on the faces of Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie gradually disappeared.

The prince's status is precious, if it is just a loss of honor in front of the emperor, how could Emperor Mingde be so disgraceful to the prince?

But if Emperor Mingde was unwell and irritable, it seemed much more reasonable to do such a thing.

And the sad look of the crown prince Li Jinyu when he was punished has a reasonable explanation.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie looked at Mei Xue at the same time.

After a long time, Li Jinzhi smiled faintly and said:

"The imperial grandmother is sick, and there is no incense in the bedroom, and I spent most of the time yesterday in the imperial uncle's Zhaoyang Palace."

Song Zhijie also smiled and said:

"Your Majesty is nearly fifty years old, and he has always been diligent in government, but this spring, he unexpectedly selected a large number of show girls to enter the palace, which also attracted the advice of the imperial historians."

The three of them looked at each other and did not speak again.

Only when Mei Xue and Song Zhijie left together, Li Jinzhi asked Mei Xue's opinion with a smile:

"Miss Mei, I will definitely enter the palace in a few days, I wonder if you are willing to accompany me then?"

Mei Xue and Song Zhijie naturally understood what Li Jinzhi meant, Mei Xue nodded, and Song Zhijie said:

"In that case, I'm going to prepare."

You can't enter the palace without a summons, even if Li Jinzhi wants to bring someone into the harem, she has to ask the queen mother for advice in advance.

Mei Gang was waiting outside the courtyard, he gave Song Zhijie a salute, and when Song Zhijie left, Mei Xue said to him:

"Uncle Mei, I'm going back to rest now, early tomorrow morning, you take Qin Li and the others to see me in the flower hall."

Mei just hurriedly responded, and when Mei Xue's figure disappeared at the second gate, he was still standing in place and did not move.

He can be sure that Mei Xue is the cousin Qiao Anyi, even if Mei Xue doesn't admit it, he will always be loyal to her as his master.

Mei Gang firmly believes that Mei Xue can avenge the Mei family and Mrs. Mei's mother and son.

Mei Xue returned to the bamboo garden, Jiu'er greeted her into the door, and Yurong was busy waiting for Mei Xue to wash and change clothes.

When Mei Xue packed up and was about to rest, Jiu'er came into the bedroom with a box and said:

"Girl, the prince just asked Gao Yuan to send it over, saying that the girl will use people in the future, and some expenses can't be saved, so these rights will be used first."

Mei Xue motioned for Jiu'er to open the box, which was full of silver tickets, with silver tickets of one hundred taels at the bottom, and some silver tickets of small denominations and two layers of silver ingots on it.

Mei Xue pursed her lips and told Jiu'er to count out half of the silver tickets and silver ingots and put them away, saying that she would use them early tomorrow morning.
