Du Zhe did not follow Shen Qingyang's advice, but showed his favor to Mei Xue even more blatantly.

Mei Xue also finally realized the difference between Du Zhe and her, so she went to the guest courtyard next door to find Shen Qingyang and said:

"Although the formula for the poison has not been obtained, the prince's condition has been significantly relieved, which shows that the antidote is symptomatic.

I am going to meet with the medical officers of the palace, and when they can take over the treatment of the prince, I will go back to the capital first. "

Shen Qingyang was busy traveling between various camps outside the city every day, and only returned to the palace for several days.

At this moment, he also just came back, and after hearing Mei Xue's words, he said with a sullen face:

"There may not be a real fight with the Xiongnu, but Du Zhe must go to the army to experience. There are many things, and I have to teach him how to deal with them in order to be at ease.

His leg is almost healed, and I'll take him to camp tomorrow and won't let him back.

As for the prince's body, I still hope that you can take care of him for a while. He is getting old. If he has an emergency after you leave, I'm afraid the medical officers in the palace will not be able to handle it. "

Mei Xue also felt that Shen Qingyang's arrangement was more reasonable, so she nodded in agreement, and when she left, she said to Shen Qingyang:

"The princess knows that you are busy, so she never looks for you, but in fact she is very worried and often tosses and turns to sleep well. You are back today, so go and see the princess, I am going to the prince's place now."

Shen Qingyang didn't speak, just nodded, and Mei Xue left his courtyard and went directly to the main courtyard of the palace.

Du Zhe was coming out of the courtyard. Usually he would smile when he saw Mei Xue and walk around Mei Xue, but today he turned directly to the path to avoid it.

But Mei Xue still noticed Du Zhe's abnormality, his eyes were red, obviously he had just cried, and there were obvious fingerprints on his face.

In this palace, or even the entire northern border, only the old prince and Shen Qingyang dared to beat him.

And now, Shen Qingyang hasn't met Du Zhe yet, so Du Zhe must have been beaten by the old prince.

Old Prince Yan is much better. Although it is still difficult to move, he is able to maintain normal eating and sleeping.

After Mei Xue gave the old prince acupuncture and moxibustion, she began to clean her hands. When the maid took the copper basin and left, the old prince pointed to the brocade stool in front of the bed and asked Mei Xue to sit on it. He waved his hand to let the rest of the servants back out, and then said to Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, I understand Zhe'er's thoughts very well, but you are the savior of our grandparents and grandchildren, and I cannot let you be wronged.

Don't worry, I have already discussed with several staff members, Zhe'er's marriage will be settled soon. "

Although he didn't say it clearly, by doing so, the old prince was tantamount to giving Mei Xue a promise.

Mei Xue nodded, but felt that she had nothing to say.

In her heart, Mei Xue just treats Du Zhe like a child, and it can even be said that she regards Du Zhe just like Ping An.

Like a little brother.

But she was powerless to prevent Du Zhe from having other feelings for her.

Mei Xue only thought that Shen Qingyang would take Du Zhe to the barracks, and even take him away forcibly after a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Du Zhe was the first to pose a problem to all of them: he ran away from the palace without telling anyone where he was going.

Shen Qingyang was so angry that he dropped his cup, and Princess Changle was also very dissatisfied, and said in a low voice:

"The border war is about to break out, and the prince's body can no longer be stimulated. It is too much for the second son to be so capricious."

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, and said to Shen Qingyang:
"Second Young Master grew up in Yanzhou since he was a child, and he knows kung fu, so it is not likely that his life will be in danger for a while.

It's just that the military affairs can't be delayed, how about this, Mr. Shen, you go back to the camp first, and I will tell the old prince that you took the second son away together, so as not to worry him.

In private, Zheng Long and I went to find the Second Young Master together, and we will definitely do it as soon as possible. "

Shen Qingyang had no other choice but to do what Mei Xue said.

In order not to make the old prince Yan suspicious, too many people can't walk in the palace.

Mei Xue got up early every day to visit the old prince, and then let Princess Changle and Jiu'er stay in the mansion, and went to sit in front of the old prince every day, while she and Zheng Long led people out of the mansion to find Du Zhe.

But after searching for two days in a row, they searched all over Yanzhou City, but they couldn't find any trace of Du Zhe.

Zheng Long was so worried, Mei Xue thought about it and said to him:

"The Second Young Master probably left the city directly after leaving the mansion. We have to think about where he is most likely to go."

Zheng Long had a clue, so he quietly went to find the steward of the palace, and made a list of all the relatives and old friends who were related to the palace of Yan.

Everyone split up to look for it. Mei Xue was followed by a second-class bodyguard named Qiu Cheng. The two of them were going to look for the old master who taught Du Zhe Kung Fu since childhood.

However, just after leaving the city gate, Mei Xue's heart suddenly moved, she hurriedly reined in and asked Qiu Cheng:

"Do you know where the ancestral grave of the Wangfu is?"

Mei Xue had heard about it. Not two years after Du Zhe's father passed away, his mother also passed away in depression.

Maybe Du Zhe felt wronged and sad, so he went to his parents to complain about his grievances.

Qiu Cheng was taken aback for a moment before replying:
"The ancestral tomb of the Wangfu is in Xueling. It can be reached by walking more than 120 miles to the north. But there are guards there all the year round. If the second son goes there, no one will report back."

Mei Xue was still skeptical, so she asked Qiu Cheng to go back to the palace and talk to Princess Changle first, lest Zheng Long couldn't find her at the rendezvous time.

As for herself, she directly rode her horse and galloped towards the snow ridge.

Faintly, Mei Xue felt that the possibility of finding Du Zhe in Xueling was the greatest.

Du Zhe, who is still like a child, has nowhere to tell when he has been wronged, and he will definitely miss his own parents.

As the year approaches, Yanzhou is the coldest time of the year.

When we walked about halfway, it began to snow, and it didn't take long for the earth to be a vast expanse of whiteness.

Mei Xue urged the horse to gallop all the way, and finally arrived at Xueling when it was dark, but she didn't find even a tomb guard in the ancestral tomb of the palace.

This made Mei Xue feel very strange, as the new year was approaching, the palace would definitely come to worship the ancestors, no matter how daring the tomb guards were, they would not dare to be lazy at this time.

Unless it is someone's permission or even an order, such as Du Zhe.

With such a guess, Mei Xue suddenly felt refreshed.She took out a piece of hard bread and ate it in a hurry, then went out to look for Du Zhe.

The ancestral tomb of the Wangfu occupies a vast area, and it is very difficult to walk on the snow-covered ground.Mei Xue was in a hurry, and tried her best to walk faster, but she was so tired that she was sweating profusely in the snowy night.

Fortunately, she found Du Zhe after all. Right in front of the tomb of the second master and his wife, Du Zhe was sitting half leaning on the tombstone, half unconscious.

Mei Xue strangled Du Zhe hard, and when he finally opened his eyes, she quickly said:

"You wait for me first, I will bring the horse and take you home."

Although Du Zhe was young, he was also born tall, and Mei Xue couldn't hold him back at all.

But Du Zhe grabbed Mei Xue's wrist and began to cry. He didn't speak, but just looked at Mei Xue and wept.

The wind and snow were howling, and Du Zhe, who was visibly thinner, cried like a lost child.

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, broke free from Du Zhe's hand, took off her cloak and covered it with him, then hurried to the place where the grave guard lived.

She felt sorry for the white horse that had been with her for a long time without eating or drinking for a whole day, so she left it in the house to eat the hay that the cemetery keeper used to light the fire.

However, when Mei Xue rode back to the tombstone of the second master and his wife, she found that Du Zhe was no longer here.

On such a cold snowy night, Du Zhe tried his best to avoid her.It seemed that he really didn't intend to live anymore.

Mei Xue gritted her teeth in anxiety, and urged her horse to chase after the tracks on the snow.

The snow fell more and more heavily, and quickly covered up Du Zhe's imprints on the snow.

Mei Xue became nervous and walked forward while calling Du Zhe's name loudly.

But the only response to her was the sound of increasingly violent wind and snow.
