As soon as Mei Xue arrived at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, Li Jinyu greeted her, and accompanied Mei Xue to walk inside and whispered:

"My father is losing his temper, and he thinks that the prescription prescribed by Guo Yuan is too bitter, so he smashed the medicine bowl."

Mei Xue didn't ask what kind of medicine it was, but asked Emperor Mingde how he slept these days.

Li Jinyu paused for a moment before replying, "It's not good, I only slept for more than an hour last night." ”

Mei Xue stopped talking, nodded and continued to walk inside.

Li Jinyu glanced at Mei Xue and knew that she probably already had an idea in her heart, so she didn't say anything more.

An Jiang bent down and stood at the door of the imperial study, and when he saw Mei Xue, the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

Mei Xue walked into the study and saw Guo Yunqing, the envoy of the academy, kneeling on the ground trembling, and Emperor Mingde was criticizing the folds with a black face.

The broken medicine bowl must have been cleaned up by An Jiang, and there were only a few sporadic stains on the ground.

Mei Xue knelt down to salute Emperor Mingde, but Emperor Mingde didn't speak, only waved her hand to signal her to get up, and then continued to look at the fold with a frown.

Mei Xue got up, glanced at the prescription handed over by An Jiang, and nodded and walked outside.

In the tea room, An Jiang saw that Mei Xue just made an ordinary cup of jasmine tea, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Miss Mei, this ....."

Mei Xue smiled and shook her head, put a yellowish pill into the tea, and then gently stirred the silver spoon and whispered to An Jiang:

"Eunuch, you know very well, Your Majesty's body, no medicine is used, and being able to sleep well is the most important thing for him."

An Jiang was silent, and when he saw Mei Xue walking out with tea, he also lowered his head and followed behind.

The tea is hot and cold, with a hint of sweetness.

Emperor Mingde drank half a cup of tea, the anger on his face finally calmed down, and said to Guo Yunqing, who was still kneeling on the ground:

"Let's go back to the hospital."

Guo Yunqing hurriedly kowtowed, and when he got up to leave, he glanced at Mei Xue next to him gratefully.

Emperor Mingde approved two more excerpts, and his face was tired. Li Jinyu kept standing next to the imperial case, and said in a low voice:

"Father, you didn't sleep well last night, why don't you go and rest for a while."

Emperor Mingde waved his hand, and suddenly became irritated again and said:

"What do you sleep on? I can't sleep well anyway, so why waste time. ”

Li Jinyu hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and An Jiang and Mei Xue also knelt down.

Emperor Mingde threw away his pen irritably, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, when suddenly, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Mei Xue happened to kneel next to him and quickly got up to support him.

Li Jinyu also hurriedly ran over to support Emperor Mingde, and Mei Xue whispered:

"Your Majesty, Wechen has a way to let you sleep well, you don't need to take medicine, just listen to Wechen tell a story."

Emperor Mingde obviously didn't believe it, and sneered. But he was so dizzy that he could barely stand, so he had to nod and let Mei Xue and Li Jinyu help him to the bedroom.

Helping Emperor Mingde to lie down, Mei Xue asked An Jiang to lead the attendant to withdraw the Anshen incense in the house, Li Jinyu nodded to Mei Xue, and also retreated with An Jiang.

Mei Xue walked over and opened the window halfway, and a cold air rushed to her face, and the hot and dry room that was originally burning the earth dragon quickly cooled down.

Outside, I don't know when it was snowing heavily, Mei Xue sat down on the brocade stool next to the bed, and looked at Emperor Mingde silently.

Emperor Mingde looked sideways at the heavy snow outside the window, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Mei Xue sighed in her heart and began to describe in a calm whisper.

Different from the birds, flowers, and clear springs and flowing water that others speak when they help them sleep, Mei Xue softly depicts thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting outside the fortress, which is the golden iron horse on the battlefield and the desolation after the fierce battle.

Emperor Mingde fell into a deep sleep at this description, his face devoid of the majesty of Su Ri, like an ordinary old man, tired and weak.

Mei Xue stopped, looked at the sleeping Emperor Mingde, looked at the tears that loomed in the corners of his eyes, and only felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

Thanks to Song Zhijie's details, Mei Xue knew some about the past of Emperor Mingde and Empress Shen at the beginning of the year.

It was after that that Mei Xue understood why Emperor Mingde, who had always been stern, indifferent, and selfish and suspicious, had indulged Empress Shen for so many years.

It was their long-term companionship when they were young, and it was their life and death on the battlefield that made him even though he was disappointed and even disgusted with Empress Shen for many years, he still retained the honor of the queen for her, and even knew that his wife had mutilate the imperial heirs and concubines.

Only in this way can he feel that he still has a little original intention in the position of the emperor, and can he feel that he is not so unbearable!

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, got up and walked over to close the window gently, and then quietly exited the dormitory.

Li Jinyu and An Jiang were both waiting outside in silence, and when they saw Mei Xue coming out, they both hurriedly greeted them.

Mei Xue made a silent motion, and the three of them walked lightly outside the hall together.

Li Jinyu turned around and closed the door, and then asked Mei Xue softly:

"Miss Mei, can this story really make people fall asleep? How long will my father sleep this time? ”

Mei Xue smiled and shook her head, and said softly:

Wei Chen said that just to comfort His Majesty, if His Majesty knew that he could only fall asleep by taking medicine, he would inevitably be psychologically anxious.

Storytelling is only an auxiliary, and what makes His Majesty fall asleep is the tranquilizer that Weichen puts in the tea.

If it is not affected by the outside world, His Majesty will sleep until tomorrow morning. He was so tired that mentally he was almost at the limit.

In the future, don't persuade Your Majesty to take medicine anymore, any medicine is useless, and it is the best medicine to let Your Majesty rest more. ”

Li Jinyu's eyes turned red instantly, and she didn't have time to nod to Mei Xue, so she hurriedly twisted her face away to wipe away her tears.

An Jiang burst into tears, but he bit his lip for fear of disturbing Emperor Mingde's rest, and did not dare to make a sound.

It snowed all night and was silent.

An Jiang took two small chamberlains to guard the door of Emperor Mingde's bedroom, and Mei Xue slept peacefully in the room prepared for her in the side hall.

When she woke up, it was already dawn, Mei Xue was a little flustered, afraid that she would delay taking care of Emperor Mingde, so she hurriedly washed up and went out of the side hall.

An Jiang waited in the corridor with a smile on his face, and when he saw Mei Xue coming out, he greeted him and said with a smile:

"Miss Mei, Your Majesty slept for seven or eight hours this night, from half past yesterday to early this morning, after waking up in good spirits and mood, and said that she was hungry, and made an exception to eat some breakfast before being accompanied by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the morning court."

This was expected by Mei Xue, she nodded with a smile, and said to An Jiang:

"Eunuch, I overslept today, please have someone call me before Your Majesty gets up in the future."

An Jiang shook his head again and again, led Mei Xue to the small dining hall, and said as he walked:

"That's not good, Your Majesty specially explained, don't let you wake up."

When the two of them sat down to eat together, An Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief and said:

"It's so good, Your Majesty is in a good mood, and even His Royal Highness the Prince's life is better, Miss Mei, don't you know, these days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tired...... Alas, the old slave is really distressed. ”

Mei Xue didn't want to say anything, so she just nodded and began to eat silently.

It is undeniable that Emperor Mingde is very commendable in some respects.

For example, diligence, such as for old palace people like An Jiang.

Since An Jiang's body collapsed, he went to the court again, and he didn't let An Jiang follow him to serve.

Mei Xue knew that he felt sorry for An Jiang, and couldn't bear to let An Jiang stand in that hall for a long time.

How could An Jiang not understand in his heart?

Mei Xue raised her head, glanced at An Jiang's full head of white hair, and remembered the torments he had suffered for Emperor Mingde, and sighed again in her heart.

A good sleep not only made Emperor Mingde much better, but even the life of the entire Zhaoyang Palace began to improve.

After a whole day, Emperor Mingde did not lose his temper again, and no palace people were punished again.

Even Li Jinyu had a smile on her face, and when she left the Zhaoyang Palace and returned to the East Palace in the evening, she said to Mei Xue with a smile:

"With Miss Mei here, I am relieved, and I will accompany my father to the early dynasty tomorrow morning."

Mei Xue nodded and saluted Li Jinyu to leave.
