On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Jinzhi was no different when he left the plum house, but after returning to the palace, he immediately asked Gao Yuan to invite Song Zhijie to his study and said to Song Zhijie:

"Mr. Song, you immediately arrange for someone to check that Xie Yujing, I suspect that he not only monitored Miss Mei's whereabouts, but also may have doubts about Ming Ze's background."

The fan in Song Zhijie's hand paused, and the smile on his face faded and said:

"If he really dares to stretch his hand so long, then he can't be kept any longer."

Li Jinzhi nodded, and said with a solemn expression:

"Although he was very careful, I still noticed him when he peeked at Mingze. At that time, the four children were at the scene, but he only watched Mingze alone. ”

Song Zhijie answered, didn't stay longer, and immediately went out to get busy.

Only two days later, Song Zhijie got the exact news and replied to Li Jinzhi:

"This Xie Yujing is really powerful, he not only suspects the background of the emperor and grandson, but also has almost found out the exact evidence."

It turned out that after the news of Li Mingze's "death from illness" was announced, in addition to several mothers-in-law who were beaten half to death by Shen Qingyang, some palace people who vaguely knew the inside story were also disposed of.

But a few of them left the palace later with injuries or disabilities.

And Xie Yujing's manpower is currently looking for these people everywhere, and one of the mothers-in-law has been picked up by Xie Yujing's people.

Li Jinzhi laughed lightly and said:

"Their brother and sister are really busy, this matter involves Ming Ze, I must tell the imperial brother, he will deal with it. But Miss Mei, I'm going to talk to her first, and tell her to be more careful. ”

Song Zhijie nodded and smiled helplessly.

He really couldn't understand why the Xie family wanted to send two such unmeasured people to the capital.

When Li Jinzhi arrived at Mei's house, Mei Xue happened to come back from the palace.

Li Jinzhi said the news that Song Zhijie had found, and Mei Xue said that she had just met Queen Xie Danqin.

Then the two looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly.

The Xie family has a character like Xie Danqin, why do they send two precious grandchildren to the capital to find death?

Not only is the people's heart insufficient, but also that they have been entrenched in Jiangnan for a long time, and their eyes have grown to the top of their heads.

thought that the capital, like Qiantang, could be done by them.

Sure enough, only a few days later, Xie Yujing was imprisoned on a very serious charge: collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

No one can raise any objections, because everyone has stolen money.

The Huns' spies were captured in the inn together with Xie Yujing, and the spies carried the defense map of the capital and Xie Yujing's handwritten letters.

Mei Xue, Li Jinzhi, and Song Zhijie were all taken aback when they got the news, they thought that Li Jinyu would not let Xie Yujing go, but they didn't expect that what Li Jinyu wanted was to subvert the entire Xie clan in one fell swoop.

And I can't wait.

After being surprised, Song Zhijie smiled and said:

"Maybe it was for King Lu back then, and His Majesty was already jealous of the Xie family in his heart."

The Xie family was not greedy enough, and they swayed between King Lu and Li Jinyu, who was still the crown prince at the time, and now they are doing a series of things that exceed the rules during the state funeral.

But the current Li Jinyu is far from being comparable to that of the past.

He only needs a suitable excuse or opportunity to uproot the Xie family.

After all, he doesn't lack ruthlessness.

Mei Xue was speechless, and after a long time, Li Jinzhi smiled and said:

"The means of the imperial brother are not much better than those of the imperial uncle."

Mei Xue knew why Li Jinzhi would say this.

At the New Year's palace banquet, Emperor Mingde deliberately delayed the rescue time in order to wipe out all those who had different intentions, resulting in the mutilation of the Meng family's men and dozens of loyal people in the court.

Although Li Jinzhi didn't know what to say, Mei Xue knew that he had probably been completely chilled since then.

And Song Zhijie was completely angry at that time, and even scolded in front of Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi very disgracedly, "People have no manners, what is it to not die!"

And today, Li Jinyu's ruthlessness against the Xie family is as good as Emperor Mingde.

In the Zhaoyang Palace, Queen Xie Danqin was dressed and draped, and knelt at the door of the imperial study with a pale face to plead guilty.

Li Jinyu appeared more than an hour later, and after helping Xie Danqin to get up, he said softly:

"What you want, I know very well. Don't worry, I have ordered the magistrate of Qiantang to escort your parents, brothers and sisters into Beijing.

As for the rest of the Xie family, the queen didn't have to intercede anymore. ”

Xie Danqin burst into tears and knelt down again to thank her.

When she was helped up by the palace people to get up and leave, Li Jinyu suddenly said behind her:

"Take care of the children, that girl from the Xie family, since Yongming and Yongqing like it, keep her first, if the two children don't like it, you will dispose of the person immediately."

It means that Xie Yuyan can leave a life for the time being.

Xie Danqin was busy responding, and thanked Xie Yuyan again.

When Xie Danqin came out of the Zhaoyang Palace, Mama Hai, who was holding her, whispered:

"Congratulations to the mother for making her wish come true."

Xie Danqin smiled lightly, patted Mama Hai's hand lightly and did not speak again.

She never had too many expectations for Li Jinyu, and the fact that he could do all this for her today has far exceeded her expectations.

Xie Yujing's matter soon caused an uproar.

In just a few days, everyone in the capital who was implicated with the Xie family was imprisoned and strictly investigated.

And the holy decree to behead the Xie family has also been sent to Qiantang quickly.

Xie Yuyan is naturally sick again, but Mama Xie has no time or heart to serve her all the time.

Seeing Mama Hai helping Xie Danqin back, Mama Xie, who had been kneeling in the yard for a long time, rushed over on her knees, crying and begging Xie Danqin to save her family.

Xie Danqin gently removed Mama Xie's hand holding her shirt, smiled slightly and said:

"Mama is a smart person, and you know best what the situation of this palace is now.

Fortunately, His Majesty was gracious and let the seventh sister be kept. Mama is the most loyal to the seventh sister, so let's serve her well in the future! ”

After speaking, Xie Danqin no longer paid attention to Mama Xie, turned her face and left.

Mama Xie wanted to beg again, but Mama Hai, who was following Xie Danqin, silently pushed away.

Xie Yuyan was really sick this time, and she was so frightened that she launched a high fever.

Occasionally, in the interval between sobriety, she cried and begged Mama Xie to ask Mei Xue to come and treat her.

Mama Xie sat at the round table with a black face, looking at the crying Xie Yuyan, but she was still indifferent.

She has served three generations of the Xie family with all her heart, so that her family can live a good life.

It's good now, the Xie family is full of beheadings, and her family will definitely be sold even if they don't die, and they don't know where they will be scattered.

I won't see you again until I die.

You still want her to ask Miss Mei to come to the doctor, dreaming, right?

By the end of autumn, the capital city of Luoyang had finally calmed down.

Emperor Li Jinyu wanted to summon Mei Xue, and it was the great eunuch Gao Qiang who personally came to the Mei Mansion in Lilac to deliver the message.

Mei Xue knew that something extremely important must have happened.

only gave Jiu'er a look, and Mei Xue entered the palace with Gao Qiang.

When she arrived at the study of Zhaoyang Palace, Mei Xue found that Shen Qingyang was already sitting in the room.

And it's clear that Li Jinyu has already told him something.

Li Jinyu, who has been an emperor for half a year, looks more and more like the former Emperor Mingde in his gestures, and there is no longer any anxiety and caution in his eyes.

Mei Xue should give Li Jinyu a big salute according to the rules, but he waved his hand in advance and said:

"Miss Mei doesn't have to be polite, sit down."

Mei Xue nodded and sat down on the brocade bench opposite Shen Qingyang.

Gao Qiang served Mei Xue a cup of tea, then withdrew and closed the door.

Li Jinyu looked at Mei Xue and said directly:

"In late autumn and early winter, it is the time when the Huns are fat and strong, and we must take strict precautions. But Old Prince Yan's illness has not improved, and it is getting worse and worse. According to the Imperial Doctor, it has reached the point where his life hangs by a thread.

Qing Yang has served in the army in the north for several years and is familiar with the temperament of the Huns, and Miss Mei, you have excellent medical skills, so ......."

Li Jinyu stopped here and looked at Mei Xue with inquiring eyes.

Mei Xue did not hesitate, and directly got up and saluted Li Jinyu and said:

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go to the north with Lord Shen, hoping to do something for the old prince's illness."

Li Jinyu smiled, nodded and said:

"I knew that Miss Mei understood the overall situation, so it was decided. You go back and talk to Jinzhi, and send the children back to the palace to live first. ”

Mei Xue should go down, and after saluting Li Jinyu with Shen Qingyang, she left the Zhaoyang Palace.

On the steps outside the main hall, Shen Qingyang walked down two steps more than Mei Xue, looked at her and said:

"It's freezing in the north, and it's probably starting to snow now, so remember to pack some warm clothes."

Mei Xue nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying to Shen Qingyang:

"You should tell the county lord about this first, I guess she'll want to go with you."

Shen Qingyang lowered his head, was silent for a while, and said:

"The march is dangerous, and I don't want her to suffer with her, but if she must go, let her go with her, lest she be uneasy."

Mei Xue thought the same way, so she nodded "um".

Shen Qingyang wanted to leave the palace immediately to prepare for departure, and Mei Xue went to Cining Palace to find the county lord of Changle.
