Since entering Kunning Palace, Mei Xue has never stepped out of the country.

She knew that Li Jinyu would never let her go, so she stayed and took care of Li Mingze with peace of mind.

Li Jinyu would come to visit Li Mingze every three or two days, but the child refused to let him get close, so he just sat and watched for a while, and then left silently.

Mei Xue ignored him, and he didn't talk to Mei Xue.

However, Queen Xie took advantage of such an opportunity to let her two sons appear in front of Li Jinyu just right every time, either coquettishly, or showing deep brotherly love for Li Mingze.

Mei Xue ignored Queen Xie's tricks, but she still liked the second and third princes.

After all, he is only a young child, but he will be thrown into the battlefield of power and profit by his biological mother.

Mei Xue felt sorry for these two children.

Once, when Li Jinyu left, Empress Xie asked the second prince and the third prince to take away, and she sat down and asked Mei Xue herself:

"Mei Xue, you look down on this palace like this, right?"

Mei Xue was expressionless, looked at Empress Xie calmly and said:

"Niangniang's hardships and the sufferings that Niangniang has suffered, Weichen understands a little. So once upon a time, Wechen was willing to do his best for you, and would never look down on you.

However, the Tao is not the same, from the moment Niangniang wants to take the emperor's eldest son away from Weichen, there is no need for us to continue. ”

Empress Xie's face turned white, and she said after a long time:

"Mei Xue, do you really want to say it so desperately? Now is not the time for you to call for wind and rain in the palace, if you are willing to persuade Li Jinzhi to help Your Majesty, at least the rich future of the two of you, this palace and Your Majesty can give you a guarantee. ”

Mei Xue laughed softly, touched Li Mingze's little hand, and then looked up at Empress Xie with a smile and said:

"Do you think Weichen is something you can persuade? Or do you think Wechen is easy to deceive and is a greedy person who is afraid of death? ”

Mei Xue's face really had a look of disdain at this moment.

Empress Xie was so angry that her face turned red instantly, and her fingers wearing delicate long armor trembled.

Aunt Hai listened to Mei Xue and Queen Xie's words outside the door, and her legs trembled with fright.

Princess Chenyang came to visit Mei Xue almost every day, and occasionally told her the news outside:

The county lord of Changle has only had a warm fever for a few days, and now the mother and daughter are fine. Shen Qingyang did not have much time to track down private matters, because the king of Shu had already raised troops, and the army rushed straight to the capital from the south of Sichuan, Shaanxi and the Lianghu region, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

Li Jinyu urgently dispatched troops, but the Yanwang Mansion, which had the strongest troops, did not move at all, and ignored the orders of the military department, and even Li Jinyu's handwritten decree.

Now, there are only a few remaining princes that Jin Yu can count on, but he still refuses to let a few princes leave Beijing.

Mei Xue, you say, in this case, who is willing to really work for him? ”

Mei Xue had nothing to say, Princess Chenyang's eyes were red and she continued:

"No matter who wins or loses between the second brother and Jinyu, this palace will still be the eldest princess in the future, but it will pity the people in the world."

More than half a month has passed, and Li Mingze's condition has completely improved, but he is still inseparable from Mei Xue. Even if Mei Xue just left him for a moment to take a bath, it would make him cry.

And Li Jinyu was also obviously haggard, and her eyes were often bloodshot.

The birthday banquet of the twins of the second prince and the third prince, Queen Xie hoped to hold a big event in Kunning Palace, saying that she wanted to add some lively joy to the palace.

Li Jinyu unexpectedly agreed.

Mei Xue said that Li Mingze could not be disturbed by too many people, and Li Jinyu finally agreed to let her take Li Mingze to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace for a day.

And Empress Xie is naturally more willing, even if Li Mingze is just a sick child, she doesn't want him to appear in front of the royal family.

This is the first time Mei Xue has walked out of Kunning Palace in two months.

It's mid-autumn, and the weather is getting cooler.

Mei Xue wrapped Li Mingze in a cloak and took him to Cining Palace early in the morning.

The Empress Dowager cried as soon as she saw Li Mingze, and Princess Chenyang choked up and comforted her:

"Mother, don't be sad. Changle will also bring the child to see you later, don't let her see you crying and be sad. ”

Mei Xue asked the county lord of Changle if he was in good health, and Princess Chenyang smiled bitterly and said:

"Their mother and daughter are in good health, but Qing Yang was sent by His Majesty to lead the defense of the capital, and he hasn't returned home for a long time."

This was expected by Mei Xue, and she also knew that Shen Qingyang, who was so busy, was afraid that she would not have time to track down who revealed Li Mingze's news to Empress Xie.

As for how the county lord of Changle was frightened, it probably still didn't work.

The county lord of Changle personally went to Kunning Palace to send a congratulatory gift, but he only sat for a while and brought his daughter to Cining Palace.

As soon as he saw Mei Xue, the county lord of Changle instantly burst into tears. Princess Chenyang hurriedly wiped her tears, and complained in a low voice, saying:

"The first time the queen held a birthday banquet for her two children, didn't you embarrass her if you didn't stay in Kunning Palace to eat?"

The county lord of Changle sneered, took the handkerchief in Princess Chenyang's hand, wiped his tears and said:

"Hmph, I don't stay, but some people are willing to support her. Not only the clan relatives and several princely concubines of the prince's palace came, but even some ministers and officials who were worthy of face also entered the palace. ”

Now that people outside are panicking, naturally some people want to take the opportunity to find out more news.

Mei Xue couldn't say anything, so she took the daughter of the county lord of Changle into her arms from Yun'er's hands.

The little girl looks pink and tender, with a bit of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes.

Mei Xue smiled and asked if the child's name was ready.

Only then did the county lord of Changle accept the indignation on his face and said:

"Xianggong gave him a name Qiuyue, but I always feel bad, he is a martial artist, he knows what is Chunhua Qiuyue? I still want to give my child a heroic name. ”

Mei Xue laughed, gently stroked Shen Qiuyue's little hand and said:

In ancient poems, there is the word "curling autumn moon", which means that people's character is noble.

Moreover, the name of the princess of King Yan also has the word "month", and I hope that this child will be able to contribute to the country like the princess in the future. ”

After all, she still inadvertently mentioned Yanwangfu, and Mei Xue felt a little embarrassed when she realized it.

The county lord of Changle disagreed, snorted and said:

"Who told him not to leave a way for Uncle Shu to live? unexpectedly sent people to Chengdu one after another to assassinate.

Old Lord Yan is an understanding person, you fought desperately to save Du Zhe at the beginning, but it was not in vain.

Otherwise, it will be ...... with the strength of the Yan Wangfu."

That's an exaggeration.

Princess Chenyang was in a hurry, so she slapped the county lord of Changle fiercely.

The county lord of Changle pursed his lips disdainfully, but did not say any more in the end.

And the Empress Dowager was indifferent to the rebellious words of the county lord of Changle, and only played with Shen Qiuyue and Li Mingze.

Mei Xue looked at her already white hair and wrinkles on her face, and only felt sad.

She is the most noble woman in the world, but she has also endured the most suffering in this world.

Seeing that flesh and blood were killing each other, she couldn't do anything about it.

The county lord of Changle pulled Mei Xue to the outside to whisper, and whispered in her ear about the frightened things before she gave birth.

A few months before giving birth, the county lord of Changle followed Mei Xue's advice and walked in the garden several times a day.

That day, she heard someone selling cherries outside, and she asked Yun'er to go back and get the silver when she was greedy.

Yun'er hadn't come back yet, and the county lord of Changle couldn't hold back, so he went to open the corner gate of the garden first.

But as soon as I opened the courtyard door, before I could see the cherry seller, I smelled a strange aroma, and then I didn't know anything.

The county lord of Changle frowned and said to Mei Xue:

"I'm sure it's a woman, but she doesn't seem to want to kill me, just want me to do something.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to put me back in the garden and close the door after I was unconscious, she could have killed me. ”

Mei Xue thought about it after hearing it and said:

"Then she is here to take revenge on Lord Shen, she wants you to taste the pain of losing your child."

Although the county lord of Changle is impatient and has a bad temper, she has not offended anyone since she entered Beijing.

The county lord of Changle nodded, and said with a wry smile:

"My husband also speculated like this, but he is busy now, so he can only let this matter go for a while."

The county lord of Changle was obviously unhappy, and said to Mei Xue melancholy:

"You can't go out of the palace I don't know, it's a mess outside now, not long ago, Liang Jinsong also passed away in an accident.

Originally, apart from you, I had a better relationship with him and Xiao Yan, but now ......"

Hearing that Liang Jinsong was dead, Mei Xue was shocked, and after carefully analyzing the few people who knew Li Mingze's life experience, she gradually turned white, and asked the county lord of Changle in a trembling voice:

"County Lord, Liang Gongzi is the cousin of the county lord of Nanling, do you know what his relationship with the county lord is?"

The county lord of Changle was very puzzled, and didn't know why Mei Xue suddenly asked Meng Shuyi, but still replied to her:

"I didn't know it at first, but after Liang Jinsong died, I went to mourn, and vaguely heard people say that he has always liked the county lord, but the Meng family has suffered bad luck in recent years, so there is no marriage......

Before the words of the county lord of Changle were finished, Mei Xue stood up abruptly and asked her:

"Did Meng Shuyi enter the palace today? Is she in Kunning Palace now? ”

The county lord of Changle was taken aback by Mei Xue's actions, and also stood up and said:

"I saw her when I went to Kunning Palace just now, and she is now the most valued by the queen, and she will definitely come to cheer!

Moreover, holding a birthday banquet for children at such a time, I heard that she also proposed it to the queen......"

Mei Xue became even more anxious, and directly took the hand of the county lord of Changle and said:

"County Lord, you come with me to Kunning Palace, I suspect that Meng Shuyi is going to deal with these clansmen of the royal family today...... Especially the children who poisoned their hands. ”

The county lord of Changle still didn't understand why Mei Xue said this, but she had always trusted Mei Xue, so she didn't ask any more, and she didn't even care about letting the palace people inform the Empress Dowager and Princess Chenyang, so she followed Mei Xue all the way to Kunning Palace.
