The soft sedan chair was carried to the gate of Kunning Palace, and two palace people were carrying lanterns to send a woman out.

The woman was wearing a plain white dress, her appearance was delicate, and her emaciated figure looked very thin in the night.

Mei Xue didn't know this person, and the woman seemed to be deliberately avoiding Mei Xue.

Because she didn't even look at Mei Xue, she only nodded to Gao Qiang and left in a hurry.

Mei Xue didn't care, and got up and got out of the soft sedan chair by herself.

Gao Qiang was very careful, and when he saw Mei Xue looking back at the woman's back, he hurriedly smiled and said:

"Miss Mei, that is the county lord of Nanling, and recently she often enters the palace to help the queen take care of the emperor's eldest son."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gao Qiang realized that he was talking too much.

That's the person who was assigned to marry Li Jinzhi, the prince of the King of Shu, why did he have to talk so much in front of Mei Xue?

If Miss Mei refuses to enter Kunning Palace if she is unhappy, won't he be unlucky?

Seeing that Gao Qiang was so frightened that the whole person was stunned, Mei Xue couldn't help laughing, rolled up her sleeves and comforted him with a smile and said:

"Thank you for telling me, I haven't seen the county lord before, I took a look just now, and she does look a little similar to Mrs. Hou."

Seeing that Mei Xue didn't have a mustard, Gao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly accompanied Mei Xue to guide Mei Xue in front.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and walked forward, but she was secretly sneering in her heart.

An unmarried noblewoman, but stayed in Kunning Palace until late at night, which is extremely unruly.

She had just come out of Cining Palace, and she had never heard the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang mention Meng Shuyi's entry into the palace, and it was obvious that they did not know about it.

The Shu Palace's mansion was empty overnight, and Meng Shuyi didn't even have to do the decorations, but she was still willing to help Queen Xie with all her heart, which is really a rare thing.

Mei Xue asked herself that she was not hostile to Meng Shuyi, and she even sympathized with this girl in her heart.

But now it seems that she is self-inflicted.

The lights in Kunning Palace were bright, but except for Li Mingze's heart-rending cry, no one dared to make a sound.

Empress Xie looked haggard and personally hugged Li Mingze to comfort her, but Li Mingze still cried incessantly, and kept grabbing Empress Xie's clothes and hair with the only right hand that could move.

He even ripped off one of Queen Xie's earrings.

Li Jinyu stood with a black face, ignoring Empress Xie's embarrassment.

As soon as Mei Xue entered the hall, it was as if she had telepathy, Li Mingze's cry suddenly became smaller, and he turned his head hard to look in Mei Xue's direction.

Li Jinyu looked at Empress Xie coldly, Empress Xie paused, hurriedly walked to Mei Xue and handed Li Mingze into her arms.

It's only been a few days, and Li Mingze has already lost a lot of weight, and his originally pink face has become dry and dull.

Empress Xie hurriedly combed her hair that was grabbed and said politely to Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, Ming Ze hasn't eaten much in the past two days, you see what he likes to eat, I'll do it myself."

Mei Xue didn't even look at Queen Xie, and only said lightly:

"The eldest son of the emperor is unwell, and he can't eat anything that suits his appetite."

Queen Xie didn't expect Mei Xue to be so presumptuous, and she immediately blushed with anger. But in front of Li Jinyu, she didn't dare to show it in the slightest, but instead made a anxious appearance and instructed Aunt Hai:

"Quick, prepare pen and paper, and listen to Miss Mei's instructions to write a prescription."

Compared with Empress Xie's face, Mei Xue naturally valued Li Mingze more, she no longer paid attention to Empress Xie, and directly put Li Mingze on the soft couch and untied his clothes.

Li Mingze's chest, back and thighs were covered with eczema, even on the instep of his feet.

Mei Xue's eyes were red with distress, and she looked up at Queen Xie angrily and said:

"The queen is also the mother of two children, do you think a child has eczema to this point, how much can he eat?

You really didn't notice? Could it be that in such a hot and dry weather, none of you have bathed the eldest son of the emperor? ”

It's the dry time of autumn, and this level of eczema can be doubly painful.

Empress Xie was so anxious that she burst into tears, and hurriedly explained:

"Miss Mei, is this the kind of femme fatale woman you said? In fact, Ming Ze has been crying all the time, let alone taking a bath, even if I want to change his clothes while he is asleep, I can't do it, because the slightest movement will make this child cry endlessly.

As for the imperial doctor, Ming Ze didn't even let him touch him. ”

Mei Xue noticed that Li Mingze was really wearing the same clothes as when he left the Mei Mansion, and his underwear was already full of sweat stains.

Li Jinyu's face was so black that she could wring out water, and when she saw Aunt Hai coming in with a pen and ink, she scolded her loudly and angrily:

"Are they all dead? It's a grind to do anything. ”

Aunt Hai was so frightened that she almost fell down, and Queen Xie knew that Li Jinyu was giving her a look, so she hurriedly knelt down.

She didn't dare to cry anymore, so she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and wept silently.

Mei Xue wrote a prescription for Aunt Hai to boil the decoction, and instructed the palace people to take the ointment for treating pediatric eczema to apply it to Li Mingze first.

From the moment he saw Mei Xue, Li Mingze's mood stabilized, he no longer cried loudly, but just grabbed Mei Xue with his only right hand that could move.

No matter whether Mei Xue bathed him, applied medicine to him, or changed him into dry clothes in the end, he refused to let go of Mei Xue during the whole process.

He must have been extremely tired and nervous, so as soon as Mei Xue packed him up and hugged him into his arms, he quickly fell asleep, but he was still sobbing softly while sleeping.

Aunt Hai hurried into the house, knelt on the ground and reported that the decoction had been boiled.

Mei Xue glanced at her and said:

"Warm the decoction on the stove and prepare cold boiled water in advance.

When the eldest son of the emperor wakes up, you mix the decoction until it is warm and bring it in, and I will make a medicinal bath for the eldest son of the emperor.

In addition, let the nurse express the breast milk and warm it first, and then bring it in later. ”

Aunt Hai hurriedly nodded in response, Li Jinyu's face softened slightly, but she still said to Queen Xie in a cold tone:

"Just let Miss Mei stay here and take care of Mingze, you know what to do, right?"

This is tantamount to putting Mei Xue under house arrest in Kunning Palace, and at the same time warning Empress Xie not to think crookedly.

Empress Xie kowtowed, and when Li Jinyu turned around and left, she stood up and looked at Mei Xue with a sneer.

Mei Xue ignored Queen Xie, and sat in the round chair with Li Mingze in her arms and closed her eyes to recuperate.

The room was quiet, and after a long time, Queen Xie finally couldn't help it, and said with a sneer:

"Miss Mei is a good method, but this palace still thanks you for being merciful and not saying more."

Mei Xue opened her eyes, looked at Empress Xie lightly and said:

"Your Majesty is not here, just say what Niangniang has to say."

The ghost believed that Empress Xie didn't know that Li Mingze had eczema, and Mei Xue was just disgusted with Empress Xie's despicable methods, and she didn't bother to entangle her anymore.

Empress Xie's hair was torn messily by Li Mingze, she simply tore off the hairpin ring on her head and threw it on the ground, and said to Mei Xue with her hair scattered:

"Mei Xue, at least before, this palace has not treated you and Li Jinzhi badly, I didn't expect you to hide this child for so long, what do you think about An, do you think this palace doesn't know?"

Mei Xue was laughed angrily all of a sudden, she hugged Li Mingze tighter in her arms, and then looked at Queen Xie coldly and said:

"Niangniang, you are a smart person, why do you have to pretend in front of Weichen?

If Weichen has a little bit of dirty thoughts that you do, he will not help you when you give birth, whether it is to let your two sons die together, or let your mother and son die, it is an easy thing for Weichen, isn't it?

Moreover, in all dynasties, which person with a disability can ascend the throne as emperor? What's more, the eldest son of the emperor has long been destined to be severely disabled for life, and he may not even be able to say a complete sentence in this life. ”

Empress Xie was so questioned that she was speechless, and only after a long time did she say:

"Bengong has long known that you have a strong tongue, but have you ever thought about the bitterness of Bengong?

The two children in this palace can already run and jump and call their father, but His Majesty still doesn't mention the matter of establishing a prince, how can you make this palace feel at ease? ”

Seeing that Empress Xie began to cry again, Mei Xue lowered her eyebrows coldly and said:

"Weichen's life is still difficult to protect, not to mention that it is a big crime to discuss the prince in private, so it is better not to harm Weichen.

As for the pain in your heart, from the moment Niangniang chose to follow the first queen, you are no longer qualified to regret it. ”

Who lives without suffering? Is Li Mingze not pitiful, or is the first crown princess Yang Shumin not pitiful?

At least Empress Xie can still look forward to being a legitimate queen mother in the future, and some people have come to an end at the beginning of their lives.

The originally sunny weather suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Mei Xue could clearly hear the sound of the wind and rain outside.

She didn't want to speak anymore, she only closed her eyes and rested on the back of the chair, still holding Li Mingze tightly in her arms.

Empress Xie stood in a daze, and walked out in distraction for a long time.

Outside the main hall, seeing that Queen Xie was about to go into the rain, Aunt Hai hurriedly held an umbrella to catch up, but was pushed away by Queen Xie.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Queen Xie walked slowly in the rain with her face up.

She was thankful that the autumn rain was loud enough, loud enough to drown out her crying.

Mei Xue is right, she has no qualifications to regret it for a long time, no matter what the road ahead, she must go on.
