There are still traces of the aftermath of the great funeral in the capital, and between the teahouses and restaurants, there is no longer the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra.

As soon as Mei Xue returned to the palace, before she had time to change her clothes and clean up, Xiao Yan hurriedly chased after Zhuyuan and complained to Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, you are too unrighteous, why don't you talk to me when you go back to Qiantang?"

Mei Xue didn't answer Xiao Yan, but smiled and handed him the peace in her arms.

When he went up safely, he began to grab the beauty folding fan in Xiao Yan's hand, and he was so distressed that Xiao Yan couldn't even scream and complained to Mei Xue again.

Li Jinzhi kept looking at Mei Xue with a smile, he sat by the window with Li Mingze in his arms, and looked at Mei Xue with a little light in his eyes.

Gao Yuan, who was standing at the door of the main hall, had been looking at Xiao Yan with disgust, seeing that he was having more and more fun with Ping'an, and had no intention of leaving at all, so he went straight into the house and pulled him out.

"Gao Yuan, why are you pulling me?"

Xiao Yan handed Ping An to Yurong while glaring at Gao Yuan angrily and asked.

Gao Yuan's big hands were still pulling Xiao Yan out, and he said in a muffled voice:

"Uncle Mei brought a gift to Xiao Gongzi from Qiantang, please go to the outer courtyard to get it."

Xiao Yan didn't have time to say more, and he had already been dragged out of the bamboo garden by Gao Yuanlian.

Jiu'er and Yurong laughed, hugged Ping'an and Li Mingze together, and also went out.

Only Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi were left in the room, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Jinzhi got up and walked up to Mei Xue, gently stroked her cheek and said:

"You're skinny again."

Seeing Li Jinzhi's red eyes, Mei Xue shook his hand with a smile and whispered:

"I've been in good health, you don't have to worry.

This time things went well, and the result can be said to be perfect, and you should be happy. ”

Li Jinzhi nodded, hugged Mei Xue in his arms and whispered:

"It doesn't matter what happens, Mama Zhang has already prepared hot water and food, you go wash first, sleep after eating, and we'll talk about it when you wake up."

Mei Xue said "um" and hugged Li Jinzhi's waist.

After sleeping until the afternoon, when Mei Xue woke up, she found Mama Zhang sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her with a smile.

put on a coat for Mei Xue to sit up and wake up, Mama Zhang went to pour a glass of water and handed it to Mei Xue, and then whispered:

"The prince has been sitting in the main hall for more than an hour, the girl is asleep alone, and the old slave is afraid of gossip from outsiders, so he ......"

Mei Xue smiled, shook Mama Zhang's hand and said:

"Mama, the prince is a righteous gentleman, you don't have to be too wary of him."

Mama Zhang smiled embarrassedly, but still said softly:

"But Shizi is already twenty years old, and there is no one to serve him. And when the prince came over, his expression was a little wrong, and the old slave was afraid...... I'm afraid ......"

What Mama Zhang didn't say was that many times, Li Jinzhi's affectionate eyes when she looked at Mei Xue always made her panic, for fear of being seen by outsiders.

Mei Xue didn't panic, got up and asked Mama Zhang to comb her hair, and whispered to her:

"It won't be a big deal, it's probably Mr. Song and Shizi who talked about Qingzhou that made him worried."

After freshening up and changing her clothes, Mei Xue went to the main hall with a smile.

Li Jinzhi was sitting with his head down, and immediately stood up when he saw Mei Xue.

Mama Zhang gave Li Jinzhi a salute, and as soon as she went out, Li Jinzhi quickly stepped forward and hugged Mei Xue in her arms.

"Even Mr. Song said that it was dangerous and dangerous, but you acted like no one."

Hearing that Li Jinzhi's voice was already slightly choked, Mei Xue smiled softly, stroked Li Jinzhi's back and comforted him and said:

"Qiu Daoren is in the light, and we are in the dark, and we are prepared, taking him down is just a thrilling thing."

Li Jinzhi let go of Mei Xue slightly, looked down at her eyes, and said with a little reproach:

"Mr. Song and Uncle Mei both said that you are more daring than ordinary men, you even dare to break into the military camp in the mountains, and you also have Qiu Daoren's servants, what do you say about this?"

Mei Xue laughed again, she couldn't justify it and wanted to play tricks, so she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Li Jinzhi's chin, then looked at him mischievously and asked:

"And do you still think I look like a man?"

Li Jinzhi's face turned red instantly, and even the hands holding Mei Xue's shoulders trembled.

Mei Xue deliberately scared him, and took the opportunity to tilt her head to look at the door of the main hall, so frightened that Li Jinzhi hurriedly let go and looked behind him.

When he found out that Mei Xue was playing tricks on himself, Li Jinzhi smiled again, nodded Mei Xue's forehead and said:

"It's naughty."

Seeing that Li Jinzhi's face was flushed, and even his ears turned pink, Mei Xue only felt that the more he looked at it, the cuter he became.

The two of them sat and talked, and seeing that Mei Xue kept looking at herself, Li Jinzhi smiled and said:

"For the past two months, I've been running every day, riding horses and archery, and we'll try it out together when you're free."

Mei Xue nodded, pinched Li Jinzhi's little arm, and said with a smile:

"It's really much stronger, the weather is getting warmer, and the more you exercise, the better your body will be."

At dinner, the crown prince Li Jinyu asked people to secretly send a message, saying that he was coming to the Shu Palace's mansion at night.

Mei Xue took Li Mingze to Li Jinzhi's yard in advance, and asked the nurse to feed him and coax him to sleep on Li Jinzhi's bed.

Mr. Song was also invited, and the three of them waited for Li Jinyu while drinking tea and talking.

Li Jinyu came over in the middle of the night, dressed in black, followed by only a small chamberlain.

The three of them gave Li Jinyu a salute together, Li Jinyu waved his hand, and after everyone sat down, he looked at Mei Xue and Song Zhijie with a smile and said:

"It's been hard work for Miss Mei and Mr. Song."

Mei Xue and Song Zhijie excused themselves together, Li Jinyu nodded, and went straight to the point and said:

"King Lu's defeat this time is a good thing for Concubine Shu."

Several people looked at each other silently, and they all knew in their hearts that what Li Jinyu said was right.

By giving Empress Shen a funeral, the four princes returned to the capital from the imperial tomb, and Emperor Mingde did not mention letting him go back.

These days, most of them are concubines and the four princes who accompany Emperor Mingde.

Except for the early dynasty, it was difficult for Li Jinyu to see Emperor Mingde again.

Song Zhijie pondered for a while and said:

"In a few days, when His Royal Highness completely cuts off King Lu's back road, Concubine Shuniang and His Royal Highness the Fourth will occupy a more active position in the cooperation with King Lu."

But the battle in the palace is better than the destruction of life caused by a military disaster.

Li Jinyu nodded, and looked at Mei Xue again.

Mei Xue stood up and opened the box on the table, first presented a stack of lists to Li Jinyu, and said that the property was kept in Yuan Hao's hands.

Then he pointed to the remaining box of manuscripts and said:

"The pharmaceutical industry has reached the final stage, but now the equipment is ruined, and the people who have been in contact with the key links have been removed."

Li Jinyu just glanced at the list of belongings, and then got up to look through Qiu Daoren's manuscripts.

Of course, like Song Zhijie and Li Jinzhi, Li Jinyu also couldn't understand the strange words on the manuscript, but he didn't ask either, and after looking at it, he said to Mei Xue:

"Burn all these harmful things!"

Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and immediately nodded in response.

The four of them sat and talked for a while, Song Zhijie said goodbye and left, and Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue accompanied Li Jinyu to see Li Mingze in the bedroom.

The nurse did not dare to look up, so she only saluted and withdrew.

In a few months, Li Mingze has been raised white and fat, and his cheeks are full of healthy pink touch.

In addition, he slept soundly, and he looked no different from ordinary children.

Li Jinyu's eyes flashed with obvious tears, he walked to the side of the bed, gently held Li Mingze's little hand and sat down.

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi bowed their heads and retreated to the outer room, leaving this rare time to Li Jinyu and his son.

After a full two quarters of an hour, Li Jinyu walked out of the bedroom door, he looked at Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue and said:

"You take good care of Ze'er, no matter how far he can recover in the future, he is my eldest son, and no one can replace him."

Li Jinzhi nodded, Mei Xue looked at Li Jinyu's calm eyes, and a strange thought suddenly flashed in her heart.

But I can't tell what it is.

But before and after the disappearance of the first crown princess, Li Jinyu's state has indeed changed a lot, and the man who was submissive in front of Emperor Mingde and Empress Shen is now very tenacious.

Mei Xue and Li Jinyi sent Li Jinyu to the gate of the courtyard together, Li Jinyu suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, looked back at Mei Xue and whispered:

"Miss May, there's something you need to pay attention to.

The fourth brother just got the younger brother of the abolished concubine Qiao from the imperial tomb today, and he should have received the consent of his father. ”

Li Jinzhi immediately looked at Mei Xue, but saw that she just nodded lightly.

Li Jinyu's figure disappeared into the night, and Mei Xue glanced up at the dark night sky with a silent sneer on her face.

For the Qiao family, from the very beginning, she never thought of getting along with anyone other than the Yan family.

But if others have to come to her for trouble, then she is the one who is least afraid of trouble.

Last night, I made a mistake in uploading the chapter, and I passed 74 to the position of 72, and now it has been modified, and I see that some readers have already subscribed, so I'm very embarrassed, please take a look at the revised content of chapter 72 again, otherwise the story will be incoherent.
