Shen Qingyang had been guarding the old prince's bedside, and when he saw Mei Xue and Jiu'er coming in, he stood up and nodded to Mei Xue.

Du Zhe brought a copper basin to Mei Xue, which contained hot water, and a snow-white cloth towel was placed on the edge of the basin.

Mei Xue was a little surprised, because this kind of work obviously shouldn't be done by him, and he still had injuries on his legs.

But she was in a hurry to detoxify Old Prince Yan, so she didn't think much about it, thanked Du Zhe, and began to clean her hands and prepare.

Shen Qingyang stood beside him with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over Du Zhe's face, and his face gradually turned cold.

Du Zhe felt Shen Qingyang's coldness, and dodged and twisted his face away.

Old Prince Yan was unconscious, and after Mei Xue gave him acupuncture for a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

Mei Xue saluted him and whispered:

"Lord Wang, the time is urgent, the pills that are not bitter will not be made until tomorrow, so let's take the decoction today, right?"

Old Lord Yan nodded.

In his life, he spent most of his life fighting on the battlefield, drinking some bitter medicine soup, what is the difficulty?

But the young girl in front of her, although she looks cold, her mind is gentle and delicate.

Shen Qingyang stepped forward and hugged the old prince's shoulders to help him sit up, and Mei Xue took two soft pillows for him to put behind his back.

Du Zhe put down the copper basin in his hand, took the medicine bowl from Jiu'er's hand, sat on the edge of the bed and carefully began to feed Old Prince Yan to drink medicine.

Mei Xue and Shen Qingyang were both standing aside, she looked at Old Prince Yan and Du Zhe with a very heavy heart.

The old prince is old, and he was assassinated again this time, if it weren't for his good health, there is a high probability that he would not be able to survive.

But after all, it still hurt the fundamentals.

And Du Zhe is still so young, but he must quickly take on the burden of Yanwangfu.

The future of these grandparents and grandchildren is destined to be very hard.

After drinking the medicine and rinsing his mouth, the old prince leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes and rested for a while before he had the strength to open his eyes, he looked at Du Zhe and Mei Xue, and sighed for a long time before saying to Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, you've worked so hard for so long, let's go back and rest first!

Zhe'er, you go and send Miss Mei. ”

Mei Xue nodded and walked out with Jiu'er, Du Zhe followed behind them.

The old prince's eyes stayed on the backs of Du Zhe and Mei Xue, and it was not until Shen Qingyang sat down on the brocade stool next to the bed that he said in a deep voice:

"Qingyang, I want to leave Miss Mei in the palace, do you think it's feasible?"

Shen Qingyang shook his head without hesitation, but he didn't explain.

The old prince smiled bitterly, coughed a few times and said:

"All my life, I always thought that I would die on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to ......

The world says that the heirs of the royal family are thin because I killed too much, but I never regret it.

I am a brother and sister to Gaozu, and guarding the northern border so that the border people can live in peace is the best thing I can do for Gaozu and my people of the Great Jin.

But today, I suddenly felt powerless, and even began to feel scared for the first time.

I wondered if I could have avoided it if I had spent a little more time on my family chores before......

Zhe'er is still too young and lacks experience, even if he can afford to bear the burden outside in the future, but in this inner house, he needs a good helper.

I don't want him to go my way anymore.

And Mei Xue, a girl, is steady and capable, and she is the best candidate. ”

Shen Qingyang shook his head again, he pulled the brocade quilt on the old prince's body, and whispered:

"Lord Wang, no matter what, Du Zhe must grow up as soon as possible. And before you ask him for the title of prince, it's best to give him his family affairs first, so as not to be made a fuss about this matter by someone with a heart in the future.

As for why, I don't think you need me to explain. ”

The old prince nodded, thinking of the thin ice he was walking on in the hands of Emperor Mingde since the death of Gaozu, remembering that the palace now knows everything about the situation in the Yan Palace, and thinking of Emperor Li Jinyu's cold and warm greetings to him, what else does he not understand?

Sent Mei Xue to the door of the guest house, watched her and Jiu'er walk in and close the door, and Du Zhe walked to his yard.

He had an injury on his leg, and he was still a little slow when he walked, and when he turned onto the path leading to his yard, he saw Shen Qingyang standing in the distance with his back to him.

Even if Shen Qingyang hadn't seen Du Zhe yet, he didn't dare to hide, so he had to walk over hard.

When Du Zhe walked behind Shen Qingyang, Shen Qingyang did not look back, but only said coldly:

"You come into the house with me to talk."

Liu Qi was guarding the door, and Shen Qingyang sat behind the desk in Du Zhe's study, and he didn't ask Du Zhe to sit, so he looked at him and asked coldly:

"Did you say something to the prince? The palace has reached such a critical situation, do you still have the heart to love your children? ”

Du Zhe didn't dare to look at Shen Qingyang, lowered his head and explained in a whisper:

"Big brother, I'm just afraid that once grandpa's illness is cured, you and Miss Mei will return to Beijing immediately, I ...... I just want to stay in the house for a few more days, with her, I can rest assured that I can stay in the barracks, I ...... I didn't ......"

Shen Qingyang sneered, stared at Du Zhe and said:

"So you have to linger outside the pharmacy until dawn and are reluctant to leave, so you have to personally clean Miss Mei's hands and do all the work of the people?"

Du Zhe's face suddenly turned red, he couldn't defend himself, gritted his teeth, looked up at Shen Qingyang and said:

"Big brother, even if you can stay in Yanzhou to help me for a while, you will definitely have to go back to Beijing. My grandfather is old and his body has been hit hard, and I am very scared, and I hope that someone can help me and give me ideas.

Miss Mei She ...... She...... She gives me the same feeling as you, she's reliable, she's amazing, I'm ...... I ......"

Shen Qingyang stood up, walked up to Du Zhe, forced his eyes and said:

"Whether you're just looking for a helper or you're thinking about something you shouldn't have, I'm going to make one thing clear to you.

Miss Mei is the sweetheart of Li Jinzhi, the prince of Shu, and she only has Li Jinzhi in her heart. She was willing to travel thousands of miles to come to Yanzhou City, but also to make Li Jinzhi feel better.

You remember for me, this is the end of the matter. If you dare to do anything to bother Miss Mei, don't blame me for being unkind to you. ”

Du Zhe was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, he was so disappointed that his eyes were red, but after thinking for a while, he still said stubbornly:

"Even so, they didn't get married, and they ...... And I also know Li Jinzhi's situation, compared to him, I can give Miss Mei a better life. ”

At least in the north, in this Yanzhou City, he can let Mei Xue not be wronged.

Shen Qingyang was annoyed by Du Zhe's childish thoughts, but remembering that he had said something similar to Mei Xue, he couldn't help but feel gloomy, patted Du Zhe's shoulder and said:

"Miss Mei's hard work, you can't understand it. You can't imagine how difficult the road she and Li Jinzhi walked.

But I can tell you for sure that the two of them will not give up on each other, no matter how difficult the road ahead.

Du Zhe, listen to me, if you are really grateful for what Miss Mei has done for you and the palace, treat her as a close friend, just like ...... It's like...... I...... The same.

If you have to go on willfully, you will regret it. ”

After speaking, Shen Qingyang strode out of Du Zhe's study.

Du Zhe stood dumbfounded, but before he could come up with a clue, someone came to report to him like a fly, saying that the eldest lady Zhu had committed suicide.

Zhu broke away from the subordinates who were guarding her and hung herself on the beam.

Du Zhe didn't care about Mei Xue's matter anymore, and hurried to the Zhu family's courtyard.

Mei Xue didn't rest for a day and a night, and fell asleep as soon as she returned to the guest house.

When it was dark, she finally woke up, but saw that the servants of the palace were taking off the red lantern at the door and replacing it with a white one.

Jiu'er also felt sad, and stood beside Mei Xue and whispered the news of Zhu's suicide.

Mei Xue closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

This is a matter of time or time, Zhu's heart is dead, even if she barely lives, guilt and sadness will torture her day and night.

People always say that they are not even afraid of death, so what is there to fear?

But for some people, it is much harder to live than to die.

Such as loneliness, such as sadness, such as disappointment, such as the collapse of faith. Any kind of negative emotion accumulated to the extreme will become the last straw that crushes people.

I got up at four o'clock in the morning to write an article and saw the news of Coco Li's death, I am not a fan of her, and I never chase any celebrities, but I still couldn't control my tears. It is a very sad day, and we can all have more hope and less sadness in our lives.
