she has golden eyes

Chapter 100 The Night Banquet
An Jiang selected five people for Mei Xue to choose, all of whom were similar in height and fat to Emperor Mingde.

After seeing it, Mei Xue shook her head, told these people to go back first, and then said to An Jiang:

"Superintendent, it's not difficult to change your appearance, the difficulty is to achieve a similar bearing. Although His Majesty is ill, his majesty remains undiminished, especially the sharp eyes. These people don't have the slightest bit."

An Jiang understood what Mei Xue meant, and was also worried. After thinking for a while, he said:
"The old slave understands what the girl means. In fact, the old slave also thought of the most suitable candidate, but..."

Mei Xue looked at An Jiang, thought for a while and suddenly asked:

"Is the supervisor referring to Master He Zhenghe?"

He Zheng is not only similar in height and fat and thin to Emperor Mingde, but also he has been a close bodyguard for Emperor Mingde for many years, and he is very familiar with Emperor Mingde's habits of words and deeds.

It's just that Emperor Ming De's current weight loss is due to his illness, while He Zheng's weight is due to his thinness.

On the day when Concubine Shu and the Fourth Prince were liquidated, Mei Xue had witnessed He Zheng's ruthlessness with her own eyes.

An Jiang nodded, sighed and said:

"It's just that this matter is risky, and Mr. He is His Majesty's minister, so this old slave really can't open his mouth."

Mei Xue deeply agrees.

Because this is not only a life-threatening matter, pretending to be a king is only a psychological burden, which many people cannot bear.

At this time, He Zheng pushed the door open and said directly to An Jiang and Mei Xue:

"Superintendent, Miss Mei, Your Majesty has already told me the inside story, so you don't need to worry anymore, I'll just do it."

He Zheng, who is in his 40s, even when he was talking about such things, his eyes did not fluctuate, they were still as sharp as an eagle.

An Jiang nodded hurriedly and said:

"That's what His Majesty meant, so that's naturally the best, and it's all thanks to Mr. He."

Mei Xue also cupped her hands towards He Zheng, and said loudly:

"Master He, I will definitely guarantee your safety. When the time comes, I will pretend to be a servant and stay by your side all the time."

He Zheng waved his hand and replied calmly:
"Even if I really die, I will be loyal to His Majesty. I am willing. Miss Mei doesn't have to feel burdened."

With He Zheng as the candidate, there was almost no difficulty in advancing the matter.

Mei Xue didn't need to remind He Zheng in terms of words and deeds, she only needed to make He Zheng's hands, face, beard and hair as similar as Emperor Ming De.

After dressing up He Zheng for the first time, An Jiang came to see him, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time.

As the new year draws closer, preparations are beginning to be made everywhere in the palace.

One day, Princess Changle came to Zhaoyang Hall to look for Meixue, and said with a desolate look:

"I didn't want him to celebrate the New Year alone, so I invited him to come to the Compassion Palace to be with us, but he refused without even an explanation."

Mei Xue knew that Shen Qingyang was busy with Li Jinzhi's affairs in Chu Palace, but she couldn't reveal it, so she patted Princess Changle's hand and said:
"After New Year's Eve, I will go back to live for a few days, and then I will invite you and Mr. Shen to have a reunion in Lilac."

Princess Changle nodded, but still looked unhappy.

The Zhaoyang Hall on New Year's Eve was decorated in a festive manner, and Emperor Mingde walked slowly into the secret room holding An Jiang's hand.

Looking at the person who stood beside Mei Xue, who was exactly like him, Emperor Mingde remained silent for a long time.

When he returned to the dormitory, he half-lyed on the bed and rested for a while before he snorted coldly and said to An Jiang:
"If the person with this ability is not Mei Xue, I will definitely kill this person right now."

An Jiang was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down to defend Mei Xue. Emperor Mingde waved An Jiang to get up, and he himself stared at the roof of the Jiulong Xizhu tent thoughtfully and said:

"Everything is God's will. Although I am the son of heaven, I can't control it."

An Jiang's cold sweat soaked his underwear, and he hung his head for a long time without daring to lift his eyes.

In the resplendent and resplendent hall, all the emperor's relatives and ministers had already arrived, some were whispering to the people next to them, and some were sitting upright waiting for Emperor Mingde.

Li Jinzhi sat side by side with several princes and sons, and Shen Qingyang also sat next to them as usual.

An Jiang helped Emperor Mingde and walked out together. Both of them faltered a little. Prince Li Jinyu rushed to meet him and helped Emperor Mingde sit down on the main seat.

Following behind An Jiang was a thin and unremarkable servant, who knelt down behind Emperor Mingde's side with a low eyebrow.

In the main hall, except for Li Jinzhi and Shen Qingyang, no one looked at the little servant.

Every time Emperor Ming De attended such an occasion, there would always be a servant by his side to test the poison for the food and wine.

Sitting next to Li Jinzhi, the prince of Chu, Li Jinchen, was different from the neat clothes of the other princes. Even on such an occasion, he was still wearing a Taoist robe with wide sleeves, his hair was tucked together randomly, and he was indescribably lazy.

Everyone got up and went to the open space in the middle to line up to worship Emperor Mingde. Emperor Mingde smiled and waved his hands to signal everyone to excuse him. After sweeping his eyes from the faces of several princes and sons, he said:
"Later, you all remember to kowtow to the Empress Dowager at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, don't be lazy."

All the princes agreed, and Emperor Mingde looked at Li Jinchen again and said:

"You are also married and have children. You are still so out of shape. You deserve to be disciplined by your father every time you write a letter."

Still smiling, Li Jinchen kowtowed to Emperor Mingde and said:
"That's why my nephew just likes to stay in the capital with his uncle Huang, and he doesn't have to be beaten and scolded by his father every day like in Hankou."

Emperor Mingde laughed, pointed at Li Jinchen and scolded:
"Don't give me a hippie smile, go back to your seat and sit."

Li Jinzhi kept smiling. When returning to his seat, Li Jinchen tripped accidentally, and Li Jinzhi quickly helped him up.

After a few dances, the royal family and ministers in the hall began to toast Emperor Mingde according to their rank.

At this time, Emperor Mingde didn't really need to drink, he only needed to hold the wine glass in front of him as a signal.

When the princes and sons toasted him, An Jiang bent down and brought up the plate with a few silver needles on it and put it on the table.

And the little servant who had been kneeling behind Emperor Mingde's side with his head bowed, also knelt forward a few steps to the side of the table at this time.

In fact, everyone's food, drink and utensils in the hall were provided by the palace and strictly inspected, but in front of Emperor Mingde, anything that went into his mouth still had to be inspected again.

The wine glass held by Li Jinchen, the heir apparent of Chu, was no different from that of Li Jinzhi and the others. They were all white jade Longquan cups, with a slightly trumpet-shaped mouth and a slightly higher handle, which could fit three fingers in an adult man's hand.

Li Jinzhi lowered his eyes, and glanced at the wine glass in Li Jinchen's hand quietly, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

Shen Qingyang, who was standing on the far side, kept a cold face from the beginning to the end, but everyone was used to him for a long time, and no one cared.

Looking at his nephews, Emperor Mingde smiled more. Everyone toasted him. After being inspected by the servant, he took a sip and asked An Jiang to send everyone a toast. A red envelope.

Emperor Mingde spoke a few words with the other princes and princes in a very kind manner. Finally, the crown prince Li Jinyu toasted. Emperor Mingde didn't let the little servant intervene. Li Jinyu said to the crowd:
"My fellow ministers, my health is getting worse day by day. The crown prince is still young and lacks experience in court affairs. You still need to help him with all your heart."

Everyone hurriedly stood up to respond, Emperor Mingde was still holding the wine glass that Li Jinyu offered him, and just waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be too polite, everyone..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed at Li Jinyu and said, "Nizi you...you..."

After all, he still couldn't finish speaking, and Emperor Ming De fell down with blood from his mouth and nose.
