Chapter 113: Luring the Enemy
Shen Qingyang and Liu Qi hadn't come back by the evening, and the county lord of Changle became even more nervous.
Mei Xue can understand the worries of the county lord of Changle very well, after all, this is Yanzhou, and since the old prince is seriously ill, the inside and outside of the Yanwang Mansion, even including the northern army, have been controlled by Du Xin.
Poured a cup of tea and handed it to the county lord of Changle, Mei Xue comforted her and said:
"Don't worry, Lord Shen has been in the army in the north for many years, and most of those friends back then are now holding important positions in the army, so they will definitely be able to make things easier."
The county lord of Changle had red eyes, lowered his head and whispered:
It was only in these few hours that I truly realized that it was not easy for him. In the past, in the capital, there were always grandmothers, mothers, and cousins, but when he got here, he was the only one left to do it by himself. ”
Mei Xue smiled, shook the hand of the county lord of Changle and said:
"But now, Lord Shen cares about him, and it's different from before."
The county lord of Changle glanced up at Mei Xue, his face flushed slightly, but tears flowed down.
Shen Qingyang only came back in the middle of the night, covered in cold air, and his face was as cold as a layer of ice.
Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle had not slept all the time, and were sitting in the hall waiting for him, as soon as Shen Qingyang entered the door, the county lord of Changle cried and pounced.
Shen Qingyang was a little caught off guard, but he still stretched out his arms and hugged the county lord of Changle in his arms.
Mei Xue hurriedly got up and avoided the bedroom.
I could hear the county lord of Changle choking in a low voice, and I could also hear Shen Qingyang comforting her in a warm voice.
Mei Xue smiled, poured the hot water from the warm pot into the copper basin, and took a cloth towel and put it in.
After a while, she finally heard the lord of Changle calling herself, and Mei Xue walked out with a hot water basin.
Shen Qingyang had already sat down in the chair, and his expression was just a little unnatural.
The county lord of Changle was very shy, twisting his face and not daring to look at Mei Xue.
Mei Xue couldn't help laughing, twisted the hot handkerchief and handed it to the county lord of Changle, while she herself sat opposite Shen Qingyang and waited for him to speak.
Shen Qingyang went out of the city in the name of visiting his friends in the army, and although Du Xin also sent someone to follow him in the name of leading the way, he still took the opportunity to get things done.
"In the past two days, something will happen in the army, and Du Xin will definitely have to go to the city for a few days. When he leaves, I will come forward with Du Zhe and clear out all the people around the old prince. You just have to detoxify the prince with your heart, even if Du Xin is back, I will solve it. ”
Shen Qingyang's face was very bad, he followed the old prince to fight on the battlefield back then, he was only a teenager at that time, if it wasn't for the old prince taking care of him everywhere, he might not be able to survive.
Therefore, although Du Zhe called him eldest brother, in his heart, he regarded the old prince as a grandfather.
The old prince who has been in Rong Ma's life is now being harmed to such a situation, how can Shen Qingyang not be angry.
Mei Xue nodded in response, she glanced at Shen Qingyang's face again, and she could already predict the approximate ending.
Things will definitely be difficult, and Du Xin will definitely be miserable, including all those involved in this matter.
The next day, Du Xin came to visit Mei Xue in the guest house again, and heard her say that she wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
"Miss Mei, it looks like the New Year is coming down, so it's better to go back to Beijing after spending the New Year in the palace.
Although Yanzhou is cold, it is also very lively during the New Year. ”
Mei Xue shook her head and said politely:
"I was originally assigned by His Majesty to diagnose the prince, but now that I can't help, I should return to Beijing as soon as possible to resume my life."
Looking at Du Xin, who was talking calmly and eloquently, Mei Xue was very glad that she didn't let the county lord of Changle come out to see Du Xin.
Otherwise, with the temper of the county lord of Changle, he must have been furious at this time.
Shen Qingyang had a cold face towards everyone, so Du Xin didn't doubt it, and left after another greeting.
The next day, Du Xin really hurried out of the city. Mei Xue got the news and immediately rushed to the main courtyard with Jiu'er and the county lord of Changle.
Du Zhegang was told the inside story by Liu Qi, and he didn't care about wearing his coat, so he rushed over all the way.
At the gate of the main courtyard, more than a dozen martial maids were blocking Shen Qingyang to prevent him from entering.
Du Zhe rushed up and slapped the leader and scolded:
", Lord Shen was sent by His Majesty to visit Grandpa, and you dare to stop him?"
A woman in brocade hurriedly ran out of the courtyard and said with a smiling face:
"Second son, Lord Shen, when the prince left, he explained, saying that the prince's illness needs to be recuperated, and the eldest lady is watching inside, so there is no need to trouble you."
Mei Xue knew that the eldest lady mentioned by this mother-in-law was Du Xin's mother, the original wife of the prince, Zhu.
Hearing that the Zhu family was inside, Du Zhe froze.
His eldest aunt has been ignoring the affairs of the house for many years, and has been living in the Buddhist hall since her husband's death.
Du Xin actually invited her out today, which shows that he really has a ghost in his heart, so he is so vigilant.
Mei Xue stood silently at the back, watching the people in front of her entanglement and shouting.
Shen Qingyang didn't have so much patience, so he drew his sword and beheaded the brocade-clothed woman, and then sneered and said:
"Whoever dares to stop it again, will end up with her."
Although some of the servants were frightened and panicked, after all, they were the warriors and maids of the palace, and they were used to seeing swords and guns, so there were still people who tried to resist.
Shen Qingyang was no longer polite, and worked with Liu Qi, Du Zhe, and Jiu'er, and slashed more than a dozen people in an instant, escorting Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle and rushing into the inner courtyard.
In the main hall, Zhu was dressed in a yellow-brown robe, sitting at the door of the bedroom with his eyes down, making it clear that he would not let Mei Xue and them see the old prince.
Shen Qingyang shouted twice, but he didn't see any response inside, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Mei Xue.
Judging from the state of the old prince two days ago, there was such a commotion outside, and Shen Qingyang's voice was so high, if he hadn't had an accident, it would have been impossible for him not to respond at all.
Mei Xue turned cold, walked up to Zhu and said:
"Madam, no matter what Ling Gongzi said to you, and no matter what you did, I now advise you to put the life of the old prince first, otherwise, you will definitely be ashamed of your Buddha clothes."
Zhu sneered, slowly raised his eyes to look at Mei Xue and said:
"A lowly medical girl dares to yell in my palace, which shows that this world is really bad."
Mei Xue was not angry, and seeing that she couldn't move the Zhu family, she turned her face and gave Jiu'er a look.
Jiu'er understood, didn't say a word, stepped forward and dragged Zhu away.
Zhu's sideburns were dragged to the point that his sideburns were scattered, but he didn't shout, and only stared at Mei Xue and the others with a pair of grim eyes.
Mei Xue didn't bother to look at the Zhu family, and rushed straight into the old prince's bedroom.
Old Lord Yan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and there were suddenly so many more people in the room, but he didn't react.
Mei Xue hurriedly used her hand to test his snort, and was so shocked that even a cold sweat came out.
Shen Qingyang also saw the abnormality, and when he saw Mei Xue going to check the pulse of the old prince, he asked Du Zhe to assist Mei Xue, and he and Liu Qi went to the door of the main room to guard it.
The Yan Wangfu has long been controlled by Du Xin, unless the old prince can wake up, there will definitely be people who will attack them, and the people who come next time will definitely not be just some martial arts.
After Mei Xue finished diagnosing her pulse, she hurriedly said to Du Zhe:
"The prince has just been poisoned, quick, you can help me break the prince's mouth."
Du Zhe was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and he shook his hands and broke the mouth of Old Prince Yan.
Mei Xue first used two chopsticks to put them into the throat of the old prince and stirred them, and after he vomited out a puddle of black decoction, Jiu'er hurriedly handed the needle bag to Mei Xue.
Mei Xue punctured the old prince's ten fingers and ear roots, and then kept pressing hard to let the wound flow as much as possible.
Du Zhe was so distressed that he knelt on the ground and cried.
There was another commotion outside, followed by the clanging of weapons handovers.
Obviously, this time it was Du Xin's subordinates who tried to storm the inner courtyard.
