Chapter 40: Cloud Surge

Empress Shen and Emperor Mingde sat side by side, with Shen Qingyang and Li Jinyu standing behind the two of them.

According to Mei Xue's request, Aunt Qiu led the people to prepare all the utensils and sent out all the palace people in the house, and she herself retreated to the door and stood next to An Jiang.

The Queen Mother had just drunk hemp boiling powder, and was still awake, so she called Emperor Mingde to the bedside and instructed:

"Even if the result is not good, don't embarrass Mei Xue, the child, send her back to the palace well, and let her take care of Jinzhi's body."

Emperor Mingde glanced at Mei Xue, who was silent on the side, nodded and said to the Empress Dowager Jing'an:

"Queen Mother, don't worry, my son has remembered."

Empress Dowager Jing'an sighed, leaned on the soft pillow and slowly closed her eyes.

While waiting for the Empress Dowager Jing'an to sleep, Mei Xue still didn't say a word, and she didn't look at Emperor Mingde and others, but only made her own preparations slowly and orderly.

After putting the silver needle as thin as a sharp edge in the boiling wine and washing it repeatedly, Mei Xue held the silver needle in her right hand, and gently pressed the queen mother's wind pool acupoint with her left hand, seeing that the queen mother had no reaction, she turned her face to look at Emperor Mingde and Empress Shen and said:

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the Minnu is about to start, it will take about a quarter of an hour, please don't let anyone disturb the Minnu."

Emperor Mingde didn't speak, Empress Shen nodded, and said softly:

"Hongu understands, you start!"

Mei Xue nodded, turned around and knelt down on the brocade cushion beside the bed, and probed the silver needle in her hand into the nostrils of the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

Li Jinyu quietly looked at the dripping in the corner of the house, and sure enough, in about a quarter of an hour, Mei Xue stopped, put the silver needle in her hand on the plate, and wrapped the prepared white cotton cloth belt around the head of the Empress Dowager Jing'an a few times and tied it, completely covering her eyes.

Seeing Mei Xue start to clean her hands, Empress Shen was a little surprised, and asked her gently:

"Is that the end of it?"

Mei Xue nodded, wiped the water on her hands with a cloth towel, and then saluted Emperor Mingde and Empress Shen and said:

"It's over, after three days to remove the cotton cloth, the Queen Mother will be able to see, and after about seven days, her eyesight will be able to return to its best condition."

Emperor Mingde stood up and said to Empress Shen:

"You and Jinyu are guarding here, and I have to go to see a few old ministers in the cabinet."

Empress Shen and Li Jinyu both stood up to send Emperor Mingde, and Shen Qingyang also saluted.

Emperor Mingde walked to the door, suddenly stopped, looked back at Mei Xue and said:

"You just stay here, and you are not allowed to leave Cining Palace for half a step without my permission."

"Yes, the folk girl understands."

Mei Xue answered indifferently, then lowered her eyebrows and stood beside the bedside of the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

As soon as Emperor Mingde went out, Shen Qingyang walked over and moved the brocade stool in front of the bed to Mei Xue's feet and said:

"Are you very good at standing? Don't know how to sit and wait? ”

Mei Xue glanced at him, only said lightly, "Thank you, Lord Shen" and sat down.

The corners of Empress Shen's mouth twitched twice and she didn't speak, Li Jinyu turned her face, and there was a smile in her eyes that could hardly be hidden.

He and Shen Qingyang have known each other for many years, and they have never seen him care about any girl.

An Jiang had already followed Emperor Mingde, and Aunt Qiu, who was standing at the door, looked at Shen Qingyang and Mei Xue, who was speechless, and sighed in her heart.

This is the girl on the tip of the heart of the prince of Shu, but now it seems that even the nephew of the queen is thinking about it!

The Empress Dowager Jing'an woke up shortly after noon, and she was not worried about her situation, so she only asked Empress Shen to go back to the palace to rest and eat, and asked Li Jinyu to also go back to the East Palace to take care of the crown princess.

Only Shen Qingyang remained in Cining Palace.

Aunt Qiu led someone to bring food in, and Mei Xue accompanied the Empress Dowager Jing'an to use it.

After cleaning her hands after eating, Mei Xue talked to the Empress Dowager Jing'an and gently pressed her legs.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an fumbled and shook Mei Xue's hand and said:

"Good boy, you don't have to worry, no matter what the result is, the mourning family will not let you have anything to do."

Mei Xue replied softly, looking at the white hair of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, she only felt a burst of sourness in her heart.

She didn't know how restrained Li Jinzhi and Empress Dowager Jing'an were, so that they could be so indifferent when facing each other.

Mei Xue thought of her mother again, if she could still see her, she would definitely not be able to be like Li Jinzhi.

This is probably the way of survival that children born in the royal family have learned since childhood.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an asked the King of Shu and his wife and Li Jinhuan and Li Jinfeng carefully, sighed and said:

"It has not been easy for the princess these years, and for the sake of Jinzhi, her mother-in-law begged to come to the mourning family.

The mourning family feels sorry for their grandson, and secondly, they also take a fancy to her temperament, believing that even if she has a biological son in the future, she will not treat Jinzhi badly.

But the Xiao family has a simple population, and the princess is a concubine, how can her life be better for a concubine like Shanglin? ”

Mei Xue thought about the haggard fatigue of Princess Shu and the coquettishness and charm of Concubine Lin when she first saw her, but she didn't feel gloomy.

In fact, from the day Princess Shu insisted on marrying into the palace, many people's tragedies have begun.

Except for the occasional trip to the side hall for dinner, Shen Qingyang has been guarding the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

At night, Mei Xue slept with the Empress Dowager Jing'an on the soft collapse next to the bed, and Shen Qingyang sat in the chair under the porch and squinted for a while.

Aunt Qiu sighed, but she was helpless.

Emperor Mingde heard the report, and when he came to visit the Queen Mother in Cining Palace the next day, he kicked him and said:

"What are you doing in the inner palace with a foreign man? Get me back to Yulinwei before dark. ”

Shen Qingyang didn't hide, and replied with a wooden face:

"Your Majesty said that if you take the minister as a son, then the minister is not a foreign man."

An Jiang couldn't help laughing, his eyes narrowed into a slit on his white and chubby face.

Emperor Mingde glared angrily, and gave Shen Qingyang another kick and said:

"Get out of the way!"

Shen Qingyang honestly stood to the side, but he had no intention of leaving.

Mei Xue listened inside, remembering Li Jinyu's courtesy when she saw Emperor Mingde, and felt that Shen Qingyang was more like the son of Emperor Mingde.

The Queen Mother sighed when she heard this, and when Emperor Mingde came to the bed to greet him, she said to him:

"Qingyang, this kid is a solid eye, he is a good boy who is filial, let him stay here!"

Emperor Mingde responded, sat down and said a few words to the Queen Mother, and when he left, he glanced at Mei Xue and said:

"Just in the early dynasty, Yan Ge Lao wrote, saying that his daughter and son-in-law were thinking about their daughters, and they were already sick, and they hoped to be able to drop blood for a blood test, if you are really not the lost daughter of the Qiao family, you can not only resolve the disputes and rumors, but also make the Qiao Yan family die from then on, and do more for the deceased children as soon as possible."

Mei Xue sneered in her heart, but she was very calm, and immediately saluted and replied:

"The folk girl is willing to cooperate, and I also miss the love of Lord Qiao and his wife."

It should be Aunt Qiu's disappearance that made the Yan family aware of the imminent threat, if it can be proved that Mei Xue is Qiao Anyi, then after bringing her back to Qiao's family, everything can return to their control.

At least, holding her in his hands, Li Jinzhi had to tie his hands and feet.

And she, as the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, can she ignore her biological father for the sake of her grandfather's family?

But at this time, Qiao Yan's two families were in chaos.

Let's wait slowly!

Emperor Mingde stared at Mei Xue, seeing that she had a calm face from beginning to end, and then turned around and left.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an sneered and said:

"Su Rili looked at the old lady of the Yan family and her daughter, who were also people who knew how to advance and retreat, why were they so confused now."

Mei Xue was inconvenient to comment, so she lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

Shen Qingyang stood at the door, gritting his teeth and smiling coldly.

Mei Xue is still in Cining Palace, but the matter of Yan Ge Lao asking for blood to recognize his relatives has spread inside and outside the court.

There was still calm inside and outside the Shu Palace, and Li Jinzhi said to Song Zhijie with a smile:

"Since Miss Mei should go, there will be no problem, I believe her."

Song Zhijie nodded with a smile, shook the fan in his hand and did not speak.

The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, which often indicates that it is time for the farce to end.

Regarding the Yan family, he and Li Jinzhi had already made all the preparations and waited for Mei Xue to leave the palace.

Xiao Yan was so angry that he jumped to his feet, refused to pay attention to Li Jinzhi's persuasion, and rushed straight to Guozijian to find Qiao Zhuowen's trouble.

Qiao Zhuowen had already adjusted his mentality, and sat in the classroom studying calmly, ignoring the strange eyes around him.

Xiao Yan led a few of his friends, regardless of whether the professor was still there, rushed in and lifted Qiao Zhuowen's table, pointed at him and scolded:

"Shameless straight lady thief, the master will make it clear to you today, on the day of the blood test, if Miss Mei is not from your Qiao family, I will be the first to break your dog's leg."

Everyone in the Guozi Prison also knew it, and they all watched silently how Qiao Zhuowen reacted.

Qiao Zhuowen still smiled reservedly, dusted off the ink on his shirt, and sat down again without saying a word.

Mei Xue is not only the eyeball of the prince of Shu, but now that she is protected by the Empress Dowager Jing'an, she is no longer someone they can see casually.

He and his maternal grandfather and uncles have planned many times, if they are not fully prepared and have enough certainty, how dare they use the method of writing in the early dynasty to force Mei Xue?

Not to mention that her parents all believe that Mei Xue is Qiao Anyi, even if she is not, this recognition will definitely make her identify as the daughter of the Qiao family who has been lost for many years.

Just bring her home and you'll be back in control.
