It's late summer and early autumn, and the afternoon wind is still hot.

A woman dressed in plain green clothes stood at the door with cold eyebrows and looked at everyone in the courtyard.

The woman was very thin, her loose clothes rose in the wind, and a few strands of wet hair were wrapped in the wind on her cheeks, making her face even more tired.

Guo Yunqing and the others regretted that they did not leave early, so much so that they had to witness this awkward meeting between Mei Xue and Emperor Li Jinyu.

They knelt on the ground, and peeked at Mei Xue who had been standing calmly, and she didn't even salute Li Jinyu, and they were even more frightened.

Li Jinyu didn't mean to be angry, and even smiled gently before saying:

"Miss Mei, don't come unharmed!"

Since returning to Beijing from Yanwangfu with Shen Qingyang, Mei Xue has not seen Li Jinyu for more than a year.

Li Jinyu in front of him is slightly fatter than before, and has completely lost the thinness of his youth.

is very much like the former Emperor Mingde, especially those eyes that are not angry and arrogant.

Mei Xue smiled faintly, looked at Li Jinyu and said calmly:

"Your Majesty wants to take me to prison, just a verbal message, why do you have to run away in person?"

From the day she accompanied Li Jinzhi from Shuzhong to Beijing, Mei Xue made the worst plans for the future.

But she still relented.

For the tears that Li Jinyu shed for the first time when she first met, and for the lonely back of Li Jinyu when she secretly went to visit Li Mingze in the Shu Palace. For her and Li Jinyi to assist Li Jinyu in the process of succession to the throne.

She once thought that with these pasts, at least she and Li Jinzhi could save their lives. However, she and Li Jinzhi finally came to this unbearable day.

Li Jinyu laughed, but there was silence in her eyes:

"Why is Miss Mei so funny? I am here to invite you to take a trip to the palace, Ming Ze is probably a little uncomfortable, and no one can coax him from crying. ”

He actually knew very well that as long as he didn't come in person, no one would be able to take Mei Xue away from Shen Qingyang.

Guo Yunqing, who was still kneeling on the ground, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he quietly raised his head, he was so shocked that he almost fainted.

The county lord of Changle, who had just escaped death, was actually wrapped in a brocade quilt by Shen Qingyang and hugged out, standing next to Mei Xue.

The county lord of Changle was so weak that he couldn't even raise his head, with a pale face, he looked at Li Jinyu with tears and said:

"Cousin, if you want to take Mei Xue away, kill me first!"

And Shen Qingyang, with red eyes, twisted his face to the side, refusing to look at Li Jinyu.

The smile on Li Jinyu's face gradually dissipated, and he didn't answer the words of the county lord of Changle, but only looked at Mei Xue coldly.

He believed that Mei Xue would help him out, just as he had done so many years and so many times in the past.

Mei Xue's cold eyes glanced over Li Jinyu, turned her face to look at the county lord of Changle and said:

"County Lord, I know the physical condition of the emperor's eldest son best, so I believe in His Majesty's words.

You have to listen to Lord Shen and Guo Yuan's words, take good care of your body, don't let me worry about it is the best, I will come back to see you. ”

After speaking, Mei Xue reached out and touched the face of the county lord of Changle, and walked out without looking back.

Even when passing by Li Jinyu's side, her pace never slowed down for half a minute.

From the moment she decided to return, she knew she couldn't get out.

Only by leaving the Shen family can Shen Qingyang and the county lord of Changle be protected to the greatest extent.

The county lord of Changle began to cry, but she was so weak that she couldn't even cry a little louder.

Where is there still half of the brightness and flying of the past?

Guo Yunqing only felt sad, but he was helpless, so he had to lower his head deeper.

Li Jinyu rode the carriage herself, but let Mei Xue follow on horseback.

All the way to Miyagi, there was an endless stream of onlookers.

Everyone knew that the people in the Shu Wangfu and the Mei Mansion all ran away overnight, but no one expected that Mei Xue would actually appear again now.

Mei Xue was like a prisoner, and walked with her eyes down in the crowd of onlookers.

Most people had a sympathetic look on their faces, they all knew Mei Xue, and even saw her at the Yulinwei Court a few years ago.

"If the world is really impermanent, who would have thought that Imperial Doctor Mei would actually fall into today's situation."

"Who said no, the King of Shu is definitely going to rebel, so he will let the prince escape from the capital.

Doctor Mei is a hostage, and sooner or later he won't be able to escape death! ”

Although the discussion was chaotic, Mei Xue could still hear a rough idea, but her expression never changed in the slightest.

However, after all, I was still too tired, I hadn't rested for two days and one night, and I was drenched in cold rain for most of the night last night.

Therefore, barely supported to the gate of Miyagi, Mei Xue fainted on the ground as soon as she got off the horse.

Li Jinyu instructed the attendants to carry Mei Xue into Kunning Palace, but as soon as she walked into the palace gate, she greeted Princess Chenyang who came in a hurry.

Princess Chenyang sat on the soft sedan chair, followed by Aunt Qiu Yun, and the palace people behind her also carried an empty soft sedan chair.

Li Jinyu, who was sitting on the dragon bowl, frowned instantly.

Princess Chenyang couldn't see Li Jinyu's unhappiness, and said to him calmly:

"Jinyu, your imperial grandmother is coughing badly again. I heard that Miss Mei has entered the palace, so I want to take her to your imperial grandmother to check her pulse first, you won't disagree, right? ”

Li Jinyu instantly turned to laugh, waved his hand and said:

"What is my aunt talking about? Naturally, the emperor's grandmother's body is important, so you just have to bring Miss Mei over first. ”

Princess Chenyang nodded, didn't say a word, and waved her hand to signal the palace people to carry Mei Xue onto the soft sedan chair.

However, when she turned around, Princess Chenyang still had tears in her eyes.

The queen mother is right, since they were born in the royal family, they should not expect family affection.

But her eyes fell on the face of Mei Xue, who was unconscious, and Princess Chenyang still smiled with difficulty.

In fact, what the queen mother said was not entirely right, she believed that Mei Xue and Jinzhi were different from others, and Changle also thought so.

Since Meng Shuyi was given marriage and the old lady of Wu'an Hou was angry to death, the body of the Empress Dowager Jing'an has completely collapsed.

She stayed in Cining Palace all day long and never went out, and even Li Jinyu and Empress Xie came to greet her, but she couldn't shirk it most of the time.

Seeing Mei Xue being carried into the door, the Empress Dowager Jing'an burst into tears instantly.

slept until dark, and Mei Xue finally woke up.

Aunt Qiu Yun hurriedly led the people to bring the prepared meals, Mei Xue ate a bowl of porridge and a fresh meat flower roll, and also ate some vegetarian dishes.

After rinsing her mouth and hands after eating, Mei Xue saluted the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang and said:

"The Empress Dowager, the eldest princess, Weichen may still be busy tonight, and he must be full of food before he has the strength to deal with it, so that you can see a smile."

The Empress Dowager Jing'an burst into tears instantly, hugged Mei Xue into her arms and cried and said:

"Good boy, don't be afraid, with my wife and son in one day, they won't dare to do anything to you."

Princess Chenyang also burst into tears, and repeatedly thanked Mei Xue for saving the mother and daughter of the county lord of Changle.

Naturally, there were people from Empress Xie and Li Jinyu in Cining Palace, so not long after Mei Xue finished eating, Li Jinyu asked Gao Qiang to invite someone.

said that Li Mingze had cried for a long time and had not eaten, and Mei Xue had to be asked to go over and take a look.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an was furious, and a white jade cup smashed on Gao Qiang's body and scolded:

"Even if Ze'er has something, it is their husband and wife who do it, why bother to pretend to be this virtuous face in front of the mourning family at this time?"

This is clearly scolding Queen Xie.

Gao Qiang trembled with fright, hugged the legs of the Empress Dowager Jing'an and cried:

"Empress Dowager, please have mercy on the minions. His Majesty is already angry, if he can't invite Miss Mei over again, I'm afraid that the slave won't even be able to save his life. ”

After speaking, Gao Qiang kept kowtowing and begging to Mei Xue, and soon broke his forehead.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an asked her to prepare a sedan chair, and she wanted to accompany Mei Xue to Kunning Palace with Princess Chenyang.

Mei Xue shook her head with a wry smile and persuaded the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang:

"Your Majesty invited me into the palace to diagnose the eldest son of the emperor, I believe in him, and I also believe in the queen's mother."

Princess Chenyang refused, and got up directly to follow Mei Xue.

Mei Xue hugged Princess Chenyang and whispered in her ear:

"Niangniang, the county lord may not have a fever in the future, if you have a conflict with Kunning Palace now, I am afraid that I will not even have a chance to go out of the palace to save the county lord at that time."

After saying that, Mei Xue immediately turned around and strode out.

There was the cry of Princess Chenyang behind him, and Gao Qiang trotted in front to lead the way, peeking at Mei Xue twice as he ran.

It was already full of stars outside, and Mei Xue sat on the sedan chair, looking at the dark night sky and pursing her lips and smiling.

She wanted to see what kind of drama the virtuous Empress Xie was going to play.
