Chapter 87: Insolence
Li Jinzhi ordered the four gates of the palace to be closed, and no one was allowed to participate in the chaos outside.
Therefore, in the last month of summer, except for entering the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang, Mei Xue spent the rest of her time quietly in the palace.
Until Han Yu's parents rushed to the capital.
At the end of summer, Yulan Street is green, and the Han house is only empty and desolate.
Because of Han Yu's tragic death, no one dared to live in this imperial house.
Liang Pei, the steward of the Shu Palace, took someone to the dock to pick up Han Yu's parents, and Xiao Yan also followed him to the Han Mansion.
In the evening, Xiao Yan returned to the palace in a low mood, hung his head and said to Mei Xue:
"It's so miserable that the two old people are crying to death."
The most painful thing in the world is probably that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, not to mention that Han Yu is still the only son in the family.
Mei Xue was silent, looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and smiled coldly.
Zhao Qixia, you, and your new master, are really good.
After all, she couldn't rest assured, and after breakfast the next day, Mei Xue took a carriage and took Jiu'er to the Han Mansion together.
The two old men were so sad that they didn't eat or drink, so they just huddled together in the corner.
Steward Liang frowned, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he whispered to Mei Xue:
"Girl, it was a relative of theirs who sent the two old people to Beijing, I thought that Lord Han won the champion and could follow to seek some benefits, but now it ......"
"What about that person?"
Mei Xue asked, she didn't see other strangers in this courtyard.
"When I was about to arrive in Luoyang, I heard that something had happened to Lord Han, so he went back directly, and he didn't care about these two old people at all.
It is said that their entanglement along the way was all obtained by Han's parents who sold their houses and fields. ”
There is no turning back, and Steward Liang sighed.
Mei Xue was silent, looked back at the room where Han Yu had lived on the second floor, and after thinking about it, she said to Steward Liang:
"Isn't there a few Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing? You choose a better place to place the two old people, and ask Zhuang Tou Haosheng to take care of them, as for their expenses, I will ask Qin Li to send them over regularly.
On the Shizi's side, I'll talk about it. You don't have to worry. ”
Steward Liang responded and immediately busily arranged it.
Mei Xue got out of the Han house and was about to get into the carriage, but suddenly saw a mother-in-law looking sneakily around the street corner.
Mei Xue recognized her at a glance, it was the mother-in-law beside Zhao Qixia, the last time they met in the teahouse, she was waiting by Zhao Qixia's side.
Mei Xue sneered in her heart, put down her hat and got into the carriage.
Jiu'er couldn't help it, and snorted fiercely in the direction of the woman.
The woman ran away and disappeared.
The carriage traveled for a long time, but Jiu'er was still angry and said hatefully:
"The poisonous woman surnamed Zhao must not die well."
Mei Xue smiled bitterly, touched her hair and said:
"It's okay to talk about it in front of me, you can't talk nonsense anywhere else, even Mama Zhang and Yurong, you can't say it.
Because even if Zhao Qixia is shameless, if this matter spreads, it will also damage Lord Han's posthumous reputation. ”
Secretly entangled with a woman who has decided to be married, and then died because of this woman, no matter how you say it, it is not a good thing.
Jiu'er responded with a sullen head, but after all, he was still angry.
Zhao Qixia asked someone to stop the carriage of the palace in a secluded place, saying that she would invite Mei Xue to the teahouse.
Jiu'er was laughed at on the spot.
Mei Xue was expressionless, and said coldly to the woman through the curtain:
"I don't have time for tea, if your girl has to talk to me, let her come by herself."
Zhao Qixia quickly rushed over, got into the carriage with her head held high, looked at Mei Xue and Jiu'er and said:
"The people behind me, you can't afford to mess with in your life, so it's best not to say a word about the matter between me and Han Yu."
Jiu'er was so angry that she almost fainted, but Mei Xue only smiled and asked Zhao Qixia:
"It's been a while since Lord Han committed suicide, have you ever heard rumors about you outside?"
Zhao Qixia was speechless, but still snorted and said:
"I'm just kindly reminding you, don't get into trouble."
Mei Xue nodded with a smile, still looking at Zhao Qixia with a gentle expression and said:
"Miss Zhao is so kind, then I will thank you in advance.
However, since your heart is like this, I suggest that you go and put incense on Lord Han, because I can control my mouth, but I am afraid that Lord Han's unjust soul will seek you to ask for your life. ”
"You...... You ..... you bold. ”
Zhao Qixia trembled with anger, but her eyes couldn't help but panic.
Mei Xue sneered, leaned against the wall of the box to find a comfortable position to sit, and said to Jiu'er slowly:
"Throw her down, and I'll bear the burden of falling and hurting."
Jiu'er was so angry that when she heard this, she immediately stood up, grabbed Zhao Qixia's hair and dragged it out.
Zhao Qixia is already black, thin and short, Jiu'er is strong and has a martial arts background, and it is easy to restrain Zhao Qixiayi.
Zhao Qixia screamed in pain, but Jiu'er's hand became more and more forceful.
The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion saw Zhao Qixia being dragged out of the carriage and wanted to come forward to help, but as soon as the swords in Mei Gang and Qin Li's hands came out of the sheath, they shrank back in fright.
Zhao Qixia was so sore that her face was blurred with tears, but Jiu'er was still not soft-hearted, and kicked her in the back with all her might.
Zhao Qixia screamed and flew out, Jiu'er sneered, clapped her hands and turned back into the carriage as if dirty.
Dare to use the backstage to scare our girl, where did you get your face? How did such a stupid and arrogant thing survive until now?
Probably relying on the lack of black heart, Degas is not cheeky.
Returning to the carriage and sitting down, Jiu'er's anger finally calmed down, and said to Mei Xue with a smile:
"With her face, if she falls again, she will look more like a big horse monkey."
Mei Xue was amused and laughed, and the depression in her heart was also evacuated a lot.
Mei Xue entered the palace in the afternoon to deliver medicine to Princess Chenyang, and the county lord of Changle asked her:
"Do you remember Pang Yu? It's the one who fought Yun'er with Jialan. ”
Mei Xue naturally remembered Pang Yu, and nodded when she heard this.
The county lord of Changle sneered and said:
"Pang's mansion was raided, and the whole family had to be assigned to the army, but she actually told the prison officer of Dali Temple that she and I were friends and asked to see me."
Mei Xue smiled faintly and said:
"When people are in a desperate situation, they are like people who are drowning, and they just want to desperately grab something that can save their lives."
The county lord of Changle snorted and said:
"Why didn't she remember when their Pang family relied on the Lu Wangfu to kill people? As for her brother, he is only in the army, and if I want to say that I should kill him alive. ”
Pang Yu's elder brother is the person who spoiled Han Yu with Li Jinhui, Mei Xue heard this, so she patted the shoulder of the county lord of Changle and said:
"People of his reputation, even if they can make it to the border alive, there are people waiting to pick him up."
One and a half years old Ping'an can already walk very steadily, and his interest has shifted from the flowers and birds in the palace to helping Mei Xue.
My favorite thing to do is that when Li Mingze cried and refused to let Mei Xue do acupuncture, Ping An would be by his side, grab Li Mingze's hand and say "I'm not afraid".
And Li Mingze also has extraordinary trust in the safety of a child.
The friendship between the two villains often moved Mei Xue to red eyes.
On this day, Li Mingze woke up from a nap and saw Mei Xue coming over with a needle bag, so he was so frightened that he cried again.
Li Jinzhi hugged Li Mingze to appease, and Ping'an also stood next to Li Jinzhi's leg and held Li Mingze's hand, and repeatedly said vaguely, "Brother is not afraid."
Under the green bamboo outside the window, Li Jinyu stood with her hands behind her back, and her eyes gradually turned red.
Steward Liang hung his head and didn't dare to look at it anymore, and quietly took a few steps back out of the bamboo garden.
It wasn't until Mei Xue was busy and saw Li Jinzhi standing up and walking around with a crying child in her arms to comfort her that Li Jinyu picked up the curtain and entered the house by herself.
Li Jinyu suddenly appeared during the day, and Mei Xue was not surprised.
From the incident between Concubine Shu and the Four Princes to the present, Li Jinyu's methods have gradually become ruthless, coupled with the huge change in Emperor Mingde's attitude towards Li Jinyu, not only the concubines who have sons have become honest, but even those ministers in the court have begun to respect this prince who was originally like an ornament.
Li Jinzhi couldn't salute with the child in both hands, so he only nodded to Li Jinyu, and Mei Xue took Ping'an's hand and stepped forward to salute Li Jinyu.
Li Jinyu smiled gently, he squatted down, pointed to Li Mingze, who was crying, looked at Ping An and asked:
"Do you like your brother?"
Ping'an nodded again and again, and he didn't need Mei Xuejiao to teach, he called Li Jinyu "Uncle" in a milky voice.
Li Jinyu became happy, took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it in Ping'an's hand, bent down and hugged him up again, and said:
"Okay, I recognize you as a nephew, you accompany your brother well, I will definitely keep you safe for the rest of your life."
Mei Xue thanked Li Jinyu on behalf of Ping'an, and saw that Li Mingze finally stopped crying and fell asleep, so she left with Ping An first.
More than an hour later, Li Jinzhi found the study and said to Mei Xue:
"Brother Huang came to apologize and sent a few boxes of things, but he was embarrassed to tell you, and specially instructed me to talk to you."
Mei Xue put down the pen in her hand, picked up the teacup and smiled faintly and said:
"His main purpose should be to invite me into the palace to deliver the crown princess, right?"
Li Jinzhi nodded, and was silent for a while before saying:
"After all, he is a father, after Ming Ze fell asleep, he was reluctant to put it down."
Mei Xue still smiled coldly, looked at the green bamboo outside the window and said:
"I will definitely enter the palace, and I will definitely do my best to help the Xie family, but this has nothing to do with the fact that the couple is the master of the East Palace, and I will also agree to ordinary people who ask for it."
Li Jinzhi knew that Mei Xue was still angry about Han Yu's affairs, and why wasn't he like that himself?
