Li Jinzhi finally arranged a time to visit Mrs. Xiao at the Xiao family, and a day earlier, he went to Zhuyuan.

Jiu'er and Yurong were playing with Ping'an, Mama Mei was basking in the sun, and Mama Zhang was sitting next to her doing needlework.

Mei Xue sat under the flower stand, looking down at the silver needles on the plate.

Mei Gang found an excellent craftsman outside, and the newly made set of needles was very fine.

Li Jinzhi sat down opposite Mei Xue, Mei Xue glanced at him and didn't speak, lowered her head and continued to look at the needle in her hand.

Li Jinzhi didn't say anything, he sat with a smile for a while, and waited for Mei Xue to put away all the needles before he said:

"I'm going to my grandmother's house tomorrow, would Miss Mei be willing to go with me?"

Mei Xue shook her head, poured a cup of hot tea for herself and Li Jinzhi, and said:

"I want to go into the palace tomorrow to visit the Queen Mother, and by the way, I will go to see the Crown Princess."

What it would mean for Li Jinzhi to take her to Xiao's house, Mei Xue knew very well in her heart.

But she wasn't ready, at least for now.

Li Jinzhi nodded, not displeased, he thought about it and said:

"Mr. Song has been inquiring about the news in the palace, and the queen has taken the child very closely, and only took it to the imperial grandmother twice, and the princess and sister-in-law have not been able to see the child so far."

Mei Xue nodded and didn't say anything more.

She hoped that the crown princess and the child would be safe and sound, but she always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

The set of needles in front of him, if it doesn't have to be used on the little emperor's grandson, it will be the best result.

Before leaving the bamboo garden, Li Jinzhi whispered to Mei Xue:

"The queen is after taking a nap these two times, probably Shen Shichu took the child to Cining Palace, you can calculate the time, maybe you can just run into it.

You have to be careful, don't be seen by the queen as abnormal, I will pick you up at the gate of Miyagi in the evening. ”

Mei Xue nodded and sent Li Jinzhi out of the courtyard.

The current Cining Palace is obviously different from before, the palace people have smiles on their faces, and there are flowers and plants that the Empress Dowager Jing'an likes everywhere.

Aunt Qiu smiled and greeted Mei Xue at the door in person.

"The Queen Mother is talking to the girl, saying that you don't come to see her old man these days."

"Auntie, is the Queen Mother in good health? What are you doing here? ”

Mei Xue asked casually, and handed the body oil she made herself to Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu took the white porcelain vial and put it in her sleeve, and said to Mei Xue cordially:

"Niangniang is in good health, and now she has to go to the imperial garden twice a day, and she has just come back, and she is drinking tea and resting."

Hearing this, Mei Xue was a little disappointed in her heart, knowing that the little emperor and grandson were not in Cining Palace at this time.

However, after Mei Xue checked the eyes of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, she was talking to her, and the Empress Dowager Jing'an suddenly said to Aunt Qiu:

"Jinyu's son, although he looks chubby, he is too good to sleep, you go to Kunning Palace, bring the child over, and let Mei Yatou show him."

Aunt Qiu was stunned, and then smiled before she smiled and walked out.

The queen sees the little emperor and grandson as if she were eyeballs, and Emperor Mingde can see her at any time, and the person next to her is the crown prince Li Jinyu, and it is impossible to take the child to the East Palace to show the princess.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes, sat beside the Empress Dowager Jing'an and gently pinched her knees, and listened to the Empress Dowager Jing'an sigh and said:

"The crown princess is a child raised by me, how can I not know her grievances?

But which woman in the palace is not bitter? Not to mention...... At the beginning, I didn't want her to marry Jinyu, but I couldn't stop the two of them from loving themselves. ”

Thinking of the princess's tearful face, Mei Xue only felt bitter and unspeakable.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an stretched out her hand and stroked Mei Xue's hair and continued:

"You kid, although you don't talk much, the mourning family knows that you are a kind-hearted person, and you are worried about the crown princess and the little emperor's grandson, right?

Later, the child will be brought over, you can take a good look, if you have anything to say, just talk to the mourning family.

Don't be afraid, although my old woman doesn't care about anything, the emperor is still born to me after all. ”

Mei Xue raised her face to look at the Empress Dowager Jing'an and nodded silently.

It seemed to be going well, Aunt Qiu came back quickly, and while carefully handing the child into the arms of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, she whispered:

"Your Majesty said that she was a little uncomfortable after taking a nap, and the queen mother was serving in the Zhaoyang Palace."

The Empress Dowager Jing'an took the child, looked at the group of people who came from Kunning Palace at the door, and became a little angry, and said with a calm face:

"This is the great-grandson of the mourning family, will the mourning family still harm him? You still don't quit? ”

The palace people led by Aunt He glanced at each other, and finally kowtowed and withdrew from the main hall.

It can be seen that it is a well-raised child, white and chubby, with a healthy rosy color on his cheeks.

Mei Xue took off the brown brocade hat on the child's head, and carefully opened the strands of the child's fetal hair to examine it.

She watched carefully, occasionally pressing lightly on the child's scalp with her thumb.

Aunt Qiu was so nervous that she could barely breathe, and the hand of the Empress Dowager Jing'an holding the child was trembling slightly.

After a long time, Mei Xue slowly put on a small hat for the child, and then knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

Without Mei Xue saying anything, the Empress Dowager Jing'an had red eyes.

"At the age of the mourning family, what else is unacceptable? Just tell the mourners how to treat it, and the best and worst outcomes. ”

The Empress Dowager Jing'an handed the child to Aunt Qiu and stretched out her hands to help Mei Xue up.

Mei Xue thought for a while before whispering:

"The child has been in the mother's body for too long, and now it is certain that the brain of the emperor and grandson is indeed affected.

This condition is usually treated with acupuncture, massage, fumigation, medicated baths, and limb movement training.

But the emperor is still too young to use other methods except acupuncture.

The most important thing is to get the blood clots in his brain loose as soon as possible, preferably to absorb them, so as to minimize the impact on neurodevelopment.

As for the result......"

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, was silent for a while, and then continued:

"The worst outcome is that the treatment is ineffective, and the grandson only has about five to ten years to live, and he always needs to be fed and watered, and he cannot walk on his own.

The best result is that after treatment, the emperor can walk on his own, eat, drink, and dress himself, and even read and write.

But in any case, the emperor's ability to act and intelligence will deviate from ordinary people. ”

Mei Xue spoke with difficulty, and what flashed in front of her eyes was the tearful appearance of the crown princess.

She didn't know how the crown princess should accept such a cruel result.

Aunt Qiu was so shocked that she could barely stand holding the emperor's grandson.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an closed her eyes and bit her lip, and choked up for a long time:

"Girl, I believe what you say. You go back first, this matter will be decided after discussing with the emperor. ”

Mei Xue should go down, salute the Empress Dowager Jing'an, and silently withdraw from the main hall.

Because of her heavy mood and fear of being seen abnormally by the crown princess, Mei Xue did not go to the East Palace, but went directly out of the palace.

It's still early, Li Jinzhi hasn't come from Xiao's house yet, only Mei Gang is waiting for Mei Xue with a few guards.

Mei Xue arranged for a guard to go to Xiao's house to tell Li Jinzhi that she had returned to the palace first, and she stood next to the carriage by herself, looking back at the majestic palace city, and only turned around and got into the carriage for a long time.

She didn't think that the Empress Dowager Jing'an could give her the results she wanted.

In this palace city, there are too many entanglements of interests, and a child's life will never be the most important thing in the eyes of adults.

The carriage was stopped halfway, and Mei Xue heard Liang Jinsong's voice howling:

"Miss Mei, help, help!"

Mei Xueyuan didn't know Liang Jinsong, but he worked very hard when he beat Qiao Zhuowen in Yu Linwei's court that day, and Mei Xue remembered him.

Later, Xiao Yan went to the palace and talked to her about Liang Jinsong.

Mei just lifted the curtain, and Liang Jinsong rushed over sweating profusely and said:

"Miss Mei, I just went to the palace to look for you, and I heard that you entered the palace, so I chased after you again."

couldn't wait for Mei Xue to speak, Liang Jinsong hurriedly said again:

"It's my grandmother of the Meng family, who was originally sick intermittently, but now she suddenly fell unconscious in the afternoon, and the doctors were helpless."

Listening to Liang Jinsong talk about the Meng family, Mei Xue knew that it was the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an who was seriously ill.

At this time, a handsome young man in plain white clothes also chased after him, Mei Xue glanced at it, ignored him, and only said to Mei Gang:

"Follow Liang Gongzi and go to the Hou Mansion."

Liang Jinsong and the white-clothed boy didn't have time to thank him, and Mei Gang had already jumped into the carriage and shook off the whip.

The Meng family has had three queens, and the Empress Dowager Jing'an is the aunt of the current Marquis of Wu'an.

The children of the Meng family all adhered to the ancestral teachings and only studied at home, and none of them set foot in the court or the army.

But once every three years, there are countless champions and tanhua from the Meng family.

Therefore, in the entire Great Jin, no one dared to despise the Meng family.

Mei Xue didn't expect that the extremely thin and thin young man who followed Liang Jinsong was Meng Ziyi, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an.

was so shy, Mei Xue just glanced at him just now, and his face turned red instantly.

Mei Xue couldn't imagine that such a young man was one of those people who were crazy about pursuing Qiao Anran in Xiao Yan's mouth.
