In Luoyang City, when the wives who were good enough to enter the palace were preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, Princess Chenyang's phoenix finally arrived in the capital.

Li Jin went to greet her a long time ago, and Mei Xue stayed in the bamboo garden to accompany Ping An and Mama Mei.

Song Zhijie sent someone to the backyard in the afternoon to invite her.

Li Jinzhi had already returned, his face was not abnormal, and he was still smiling gently.

After the three of them sat down, Song Zhijie shook his fan and said with a smile:

"Finally, there is definite news, and the villagers who survived are on their way to Beijing, and they have also brought physical evidence with them.

The news is tightly covered, and the escorts are also competent, so Shizi and Miss Mei can rest assured. ”

For Song Zhijie's work, Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue are naturally relieved.

Song Zhijie sighed again:

"These people have endured a lot of hardships, slept in the open air, and have been hiding in the desert Gobi for several years like savages."

Mei Xue was silent, she thought of Mrs. Mei, the Mei family in Qiantang, and her father and brothers and sisters who died tragically on the bank of the Jinsha River.

In the past few decades of Yan Yuncai's prosperous official fortune, it can be said that there are countless people who have died at the hands of the Yan family, the Mei family and the Tie family.

What are they guilty of?

Li Jinzhi sent Mei Xue back to the bamboo garden, and hesitated for a while before saying to her:

"Aunt Chenyang's illness is not as mild as she said in her letter."

Mei Xue looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

Li Jinzhi stopped, lowered his head and stroked the handle of the fan in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Despite wearing heavy makeup, my aunt's complexion is still abnormal, and I noticed that she seems to be in pain when she walks, but she just keeps holding on."

Li Jinzhi spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, and the worry in his heart was obvious.

Mei Xue comforted him softly:

"The prince doesn't have to worry, the princess's current situation, at least there is no worry about her life.

And the Queen Mother also said that she would let me go to see the princess, and I would do my best when the time came. ”

Li Jinzhi smiled and nodded again.

At night, Tsing Yi Lane, Qiao's house.

The beauty under the lamp is as delicate as jade, lightly undressed, the toes that are as tender as the onion tube are exposed, and the nails are as powdery as the sun.

The fragrance was overflowing in the bath room, Yan gently rubbed Qiao Anran's hair, and whispered to her:

"Your grandmother and I won't be able to enter the palace this time, but Mrs. Kong finally agreed to help, you follow her mother in, you have to be careful, among the people who will enter the palace tomorrow, there are not a few who know you."

Mrs. Kong's husband's surname is Zhao, and although it is only a master of the Guozijian, it is said that Mrs. Kong's father and the sixtieth grandson of the saint are brothers of the same clan.

The Kong family living in the capital today is only the line of Mrs. Kong's mother's family, so every New Year's Day, her father and mother will be invited into the palace to show royal grace.

The Kong and Zhao families both regarded themselves as clear streams, and there were many clansmen but none of them were producing. is ashamed to talk about yellow and white things, but to maintain the dignity of life.

Since Qiao Zhuowen entered the Guozi Prison, Yan's mother and daughter have been sending money and gifts to Mrs. Kong openly and secretly in the past few years.

Qiao Anran responded lightly, not wanting to talk about this topic, but closed his eyes and told Yan:

"Mother, after I finish the matter, you must send that letter to Meng Ziyi, it will be useful in the future."

Wu'an Houfu is a solid backer, and Meng Ziyi is infatuated with her, how can she let go easily?

Yan's hand paused, but immediately responded.

Qiao Juncheng is still in Yu Linwei's cell, and his son is basically in charge of everything at home.

The matter of continuing to use Meng Ziyi was decided by his son, and his daughter was also in favor, so Yan naturally would not object.

Early the morning of the second day when Princess Chenyang arrived in Beijing, the Empress Dowager Jing'an sent someone to the palace to invite Mei Xue, and Li Jinzhi accompanied her into the palace.

Empress Dowager Jing'an's face was very bad, and Mei Xue knew why at the first glance when she saw Princess Chenyang.

As the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother, Princess Chenyang, who is only forty years old, has a very swollen figure, even with thick makeup, it is difficult to hide the subtle cracks on her skin.

This is an obvious phenomenon of hormone poisoning, but in this era, there is no technology for drug purification, and to reach such a serious situation, it must be the result of years of accumulation.

At least more than ten years.

Seeing Mei Xue staring at herself, Princess Chenyang's face looked very embarrassed, she closed her eyes and twisted her face to the side.

Empress Dowager Jing'an persuaded her in a low voice:

"Mei Xue, this kid is reliable, you don't have to worry about bad things going out."

In front of her daughter, the Empress Dowager Jing'an, like the mother of ordinary people, was full of unconcealable sadness and love in her eyes.

Mei Xue asked Li Jinzhi and the others to wait outside, and when only she and the Queen Mother's mother and daughter were left in the house, she whispered to Princess Chenyang:

"Your Highness, please take off all your clothes, I want to carefully examine your body."

Princess Chenyang trembled violently, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she choked up and said:

"No need, this palace is fine, you ......"

"Chenyang, don't be afraid, no matter what, there will be the queen mother and your royal brother to make the decision for you."

Empress Dowager Jing'an grabbed Princess Chenyang's arm, and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.

Princess Chenyang finally nodded, and untied her shirt with tears in her eyes.

The skin is white and yellowish, with obvious white streak marks, which are very similar to stretch marks.

The bloated abdomen and limbs are full of dense cracks, especially in the joints of the limbs, some of which are so big that you can see the red muscles inside.

How painful it must be!

The Empress Dowager Jing'an was so heartbroken that she cried, and Princess Chenyang buried her face in her arms and cried and said:

"Queen Mother, I thought that I could see you and the imperial brother again before I died, and I would be satisfied in this life."

Mei Xue silently pulled the brocade quilt over and covered it with Princess Chenyang, and when she and the Empress Dowager Jing'an calmed down, Mei Xue whispered:

"Your Highness doesn't need to be too pessimistic, although this disease is difficult to treat, as long as you find out what the drug-causing drug is, and treat the symptoms and detoxify, it only takes about a year to fundamentally improve your condition."

Princess Chenyang only shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"It's been more than ten years, and I've used everything, but it's useless."

Mei Xue shook her head again and said seriously:

"If it can cause His Highness to have such serious symptoms, this poison must have been consumed by you or used in your daily life, such as balm, bath items, etc., and even the rice bowls, tea cups, bath tubs, bedding, etc.

As long as the virus-causing substances can be detected, Weichen is sure that he can cure the princess's illness. ”

The Empress Dowager Jing'an was convinced of Mei Xue, and immediately ordered her to go to the side hall to check Princess Chenyang's outfits, and instructed Aunt Qiu to invite Emperor Mingde.

Li Jinzhi followed Mei Xue to the side hall, and the female officials who were guarding there were all people who served Princess Chenyang closely, and after receiving orders, they all retreated to the door and let Mei Xue check freely.

Mei Xue was busy for more than an hour, but she shook her head at Li Jinzhi in disappointment.

Li Jinzhi nodded silently, watching Mei Xue clean her hands, he naturally handed her the cotton handkerchief.

Mei Xue slowly wiped her fingers for a long time before she said:

"Now there is only one possibility left, the person who poisoned him is afraid that his evil deeds will be exposed after the princess returns to Beijing, so he has been prepared in advance."

And who can manipulate and arrange all the outfits of Princess Chenyang?

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi glanced at each other, and they both felt heavy.

Emperor Mingde was already waiting in the main hall, Princess Chenyang was not there, only the Empress Dowager Jing'an was sitting aside, her face was still very bad.

Mei Xue pondered and said the guess in her heart, although she tried her best to be euphemistic, but Emperor Mingde and the Empress Dowager Jing'an still changed their faces.

Empress Dowager Jing'an silently twisted her face, and Emperor Mingde was silent for a while before gritting her teeth and smiling coldly:

"Good, good!"

The only children born to the Empress Dowager Jing'an are Emperor Mingde, King Shu and Princess Chenyang, Emperor Mingde is suspicious of King Shu because of Li Jinzhi, but he cares for Princess Chenyang.

probably wants to make up for the debt to the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

Emperor Mingde was clearly furious, pacing the room with his hands behind his back, his teeth clenched.

You are the Son of Heaven, but his only biological sister was harmed to such a situation, it is really bold, and it is really looking for death.

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi stood beside the Empress Dowager Jing'an with their heads bowed, and after a long time, they saw Emperor Mingde stop and said in a cold voice:

"Mei Xue, you leave for Qingzhou immediately, you must find out the truth, what poison it is, who made it, and report it to me after finding out."

After a pause, Emperor Mingde's eyes swept over Li Jinzhi, and then continued:

"Let Qingyang escort you, over there in Qingzhou, I will arrange for someone to obey your dispatch."

Mei Xue responded without hesitation, and Li Jinzhi's expression was not abnormal in the slightest.

Emperor Mingde walked out, Li Jinzhi followed him to see him off, and when he arrived at the door, he said again:

"Tomorrow's palace banquet, you don't have to attend, just say that you are sick, and Mei Xue will stay in the house to take care of you."

As for Shen Qingyang, he has been running errands for Emperor Mingde all the year round, and no one cares when he is not in the capital.
