Chapter 62: Provocation
It was Aunt He who came to pick up Mei Xue in person, but her barely squeezed smile was filled with inexplicable fear and scrutiny.
Mei Xue smiled at her and nodded as before, and got into the carriage.
Didn't even ask a word.
Aunt He's prepared stomach of excuses seemed useless.
There was silence in Kunning Palace, and the figures moved slowly on the lit floor, as if they could hear the heartbeat of the people next to them.
Mei Xue suddenly turned her face, looked at Aunt He and asked with a smile:
"Auntie, did the lady change the incense new? I smell different from the last time I came to eat. ”
Aunt He never expected Mei Xue to suddenly ask this kind of question, and thought of Queen Shen's purpose today, she thought that Mei Xue was suspicious, and hurriedly shook her head and explained:
"No, no, Niangniang has always used this kind of Suhexiang, there will be absolutely no problem."
Mei Xue's smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, she nodded and continued to walk forward.
Aunt He realized her gaffe and gritted her teeth and closed her eyes behind Mei Xue.
This girl is not very old, but she is bold and careful enough.
And it's cunning.
In the huge main hall, Empress Shen was the only one sitting in the phoenix chair, looking at Mei Xue with a cold expression.
Aunt He saluted Empress Shen, went out backwards and closed the door of the palace.
Mei Xue's expression was calm, and after saluting Queen Shen, she stood in the center of the hall with her eyes down.
The snow-blue big and the dark blue embroidered shoes have no trace of ornamentation. An ordinary wooden hairpin pulled the long green hair, and two small silver lilac earrings hung on the white earlobes.
The hands crossed in front of the lower abdomen are white and clean, with a smooth luster that can only be found when you are young.
For many years, in this deep palace, Empress Shen has never seen such simplicity, nor has she ever seen such cleanliness.
It's like the moment when the snow is clear, when you open your eyes and look out the window, you will feel that the world in front of you is so clean that it is touching.
But Queen Shen didn't like this kind of Mei Xue, and she even regretted it, why didn't she think of guarding against this medical girl who came out of the countryside before?
Is it because of her taciturnity, because of her meekness and quietness, or because of her non-fighting?
Empress Shen felt that she had been deceived, but it was obvious that it was too late.
Li Jinzhi will not allow Mei Xue to have an accident, and the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang cannot do without Mei Xue's care.
And An Jiang will definitely regard Mei as a life-saving benefactor, and if Mei Xue has an accident, he will not ignore it.
What's more, her grandson, or one of her handles, is still in Mei Xue's hands.
Mei Xue, or the Shu Palace, can ruin her reputation at any time.
Even her own son is full of gratitude to Mei Xue.
How did you get to where you are today?
This Mei Xue, compared with the stupid mother and daughter of the Qiao family, cannot be a family no matter how you look at it.
Empress Shen did not give Mei Xue a seat, but smiled lightly and said:
"I heard that An Jiang's illness was cured by you, and the entire Tai Hospital was helpless, but you easily solved it, and it was really powerful."
Mei Xue also smiled slightly, saluted Empress Shen and said:
"Niangniang praised, Weichen really didn't dare to be.
I heard that Eunuch An was suffering from a stroke, and Weichen thought that there was no cure for this disease.
Otherwise, why didn't Weichen completely cure the old lady of Wu'anhou? ”
"Bengong used to think that you were quiet and didn't talk much, but I didn't expect you to be a sharp tooth."
Under the wide sleeves of her robe, Empress Shen's hands tightly grasped the armrests, so that she could barely maintain her demeanor, but the sarcastic words were still said uncontrollably.
Mei Xue raised her head, with a faint smile on her face, looked directly at Empress Shen and said:
"To be so praised by the mother, Weichen is overjoyed."
"You, you. How daring! ”
Mei Xue's provocative words and demeanor completely angered Queen Shen, and she was so angry that her lips trembled.
"Niangniang, when Weichen first saw you, you wanted to kill Weichen with a cane. At that time, Weichen was busy treating the little emperor and grandson, and he also understood that you were angry in a hurry, so he didn't take it to heart.
But today, Wechen wants to talk to you about what is in his heart. ”
Mei Xue still looked at Empress Shen calmly, and continued with a smile:
"Wechen once read in the miscellaneous records that there is a life where people are equal, even if there is a difference between rich and poor and status, but at least no one dares to deprive others of their lives at will.
There, life is duly respected, not to mention human life, even small animals will be duly protected.
Wechen loves this kind of life in the book, so even if he is just a female doctor, Wechen reveres life and values his own life.
Because of this, Wechen doesn't like others to say that they want to kill Wechen at every turn.
Wechen wants to live, and he is living better and better. ”
Seeing that Empress Shen's face gradually turned iron-blue, Mei Xue still smiled indifferently:
"To this day, Niangniang can still kill Weichen with a word, Niangniang, you know, Weichen also knows.
So, let's stop wasting time and just go our own way. ”
She didn't even salute Empress Shen anymore, she just smiled and turned around and walked out.
Although the door was closed, Mei Xue knew that she had clearly ridiculed and provoked Empress Shen.
But Mei Xue did not regret her irrational behavior.
When she heard what happened to Shen Qingyang's sister, Mei Xue's biggest feeling was heartache, feeling sorry for the young woman who died early, but she didn't have more than ordinary disgust for the singer surnamed Qiu.
After all, the poison of her stepmother was felt by her as soon as she came to this world.
But what happened to Princess Chenyang made Mei Xue so stimulated that she decided to get rid of Empress Shen the moment Li Jinzhi just finished speaking.
Mei Xue never thought that she would hate a person so much, so hated that she wanted to take away this person's life, and let this person die in vain.
Even if he broke the oath he made when he was a doctor.
is also a woman, obviously there is no need, obviously Princess Chenyang is such a cowardly and patient character, how can Queen Shen still be such a poisonous hand?
If it is said that the persecution of Li Jinzhi is for the sake of not threatening her husband's throne, and for herself to be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Queen Mother in the future, then what is the purpose of treating Princess Chenyang like this?
It's just vicious, pure viciousness.
Mei Xue felt that she had to leave immediately, because as soon as she saw Empress Shen's face, she would feel extremely disgusted.
Empress Shen in the phoenix chair, her face turned from iron blue to pale, and the sudden inexplicable fear made her stand up almost out of control, and shouted hoarsely:
"Come on, kill her immediately for this palace!"
The doors of several rooms on both sides of the main hall opened in an instant, and dozens of martial maids rushed out.
Mei Xue stopped, looked back at Empress Shen coldly and said:
"Wechen recently suddenly became interested in pills, so he did some research at home.
I heard that the queen is also quite knowledgeable in medicine, I wonder if you would like to discuss it with Wechen?
For example, does the pill hurt the body, or can it prolong life and make people immortal? ”
Mei Xue could see that Empress Shen's body shook obviously, which made her feel that the breath she was holding in her heart was finally slightly soothed.
She just wants to stimulate Queen Shen and let her experience the taste of suspense day and night before she dies.
Emperor Mingde died early, who can get the greatest benefit? Isn't that obvious?
The sooner Li Jinyu ascended the throne, the sooner Empress Shen could sit in the position of the queen mother, and the sooner she could get rid of all the people who were in the way.
When she no longer has any scruples, how many people will die because of it?
Mei Xue's words that seemed to be unrelated made the martial servants who rushed towards her stunned, seeing that Queen Shen just pointed at Mei Xue and gasped angrily, but she didn't urge again, they only dared to surround Mei Xue but didn't dare to move.
There was a gold drip on the high table in the corner of the hall, Mei Xue turned her face to look at it, and said to Queen Shen lightly:
"Niangniang, Weichen still has some things to do, I don't know if I can leave now?"
Empress Shen's lips trembled, and she slowly sat back in the phoenix chair after a long time, she didn't speak, but Aunt He, who was guarding outside, had already quietly opened the door of the hall.
The martial servants surrounding Mei Xue quietly retreated, Mei Xue walked out of the hall indifferently, and when she passed by Aunt He, she didn't even forget to smile and nod and say:
"Aunt Lao, thank you."
I don't know when the snow began to fall again, and a thin layer of white was already laid on the palace road.
Mei Xue thought that it would be Mei Gang and the guards of the palace waiting for her at the gate of the palace, but the moment she walked out, she saw Li Jinzhi standing next to the carriage at a glance.
In the wind and snow, he was looking at her with a smile, and his clean smile warmed the white sky and earth.
