Chapter 132 Persecution

Just before dawn, the gate of Shu Palace was clattered by Xiao Yan.

As soon as Li Jinzhi came out of the room, Xiao Yan bumped into his arms.

Li Jinzhi laughed, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and asked:
"Why is my cousin so panicked?"

Xiao Yan stomped his feet anxiously, wiped the sweat from his brow and said:
"I just got the news, Liang Jinsong told me that His Majesty is going to marry you and Nanling County Lord, so what will Miss Mei do?"

Meng Shuyi, the head of Nanling County, was the prostitute's daughter of the late Marquis of Wu'an. After all the adult men of the Meng family died in the Zhaoyang Palace, Emperor Mingde rewarded the orphans and widows of the Marquis of Wu's mansion heavily to show the great kindness of the emperor.

Among them, Meng Shuyi received the heaviest reward. Not only was she named the head of Nanling County, but she was also given a fief.

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Li Jinzhi's footsteps paused, but then he continued to walk out without any surprise.

Li Jinyu would use the conflict between Li Jinhuan and Huang Qingya as an excuse to accuse him of being restless in the house and force him to get married. This was already expected by Li Jinzhi.

He just didn't know who Li Jinyu would choose as another victim.

What Li Jinzhi couldn't tell Xiao Yan was that in Shu, Li Jinyu's people had attacked the King of Shu several times.

This last time, the king of Shu was assassinated in his study and had been in a coma for many days.

Li Jinyu probably felt that the time was ripe, so he began to persecute him and Mei Xue in order to take the opportunity to punish him.

Xiao Yan was so anxious that he was about to cry, he pulled Li Jinzhi's sleeve tightly and said:
"Cousin, you can't promise Your Majesty. I've seen Miss Mei's devotion to you over the years. You can't let her down."

Li Jinzhi's nose was sour, and his eyes suddenly turned red, but he quickly recovered his expression, nodded and said to Xiao Yan in a low voice:
"Don't worry, I know what to do.

He will announce me into the palace in a while, you should go out through the back door now, so as not to run into the servant who came to pass the decree. "

Xiao Yan nodded hurriedly, watched Li Jinzhi walk away from the courtyard, and then he turned around and left through the back door of the main hall.

It was just now, and it was already extremely hot outside, and the white sun shone through the window paper and sprinkled on the ground.

There was an ice basin in the imperial study room, exuding wisps of cold air.

Li Jinzhi knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, then looked up at Li Jinyu and said:

"Brother Huang, my heart is only for Miss Mei, and it is absolutely impossible to marry anyone other than her.

There is only one widow left in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Although the emperor's grandmother has no complaints, you and I know her sadness well.

Once the imperial decree of marriage is issued, I am a man and don't need to care too much about the world's gossip, but Cousin Nanling has no way out.

Brother Huang, for the sake of the Meng family's loyalty to the imperial court and the fact that the emperor's grandmother is too old to be hit again, I beg you not to marry my cousin Nanling, I don't want to ruin the rest of her life.

The king's order cannot be violated. I ask myself to remove the position of the dead son. From now on, I will study behind closed doors and never leave the house for half a step. "

This is tantamount to asking for a ban.

But Li Jinyu was not satisfied, he smiled slightly and said:

"Jinzhi, even if I can't check your abilities very clearly, I probably know it in my heart.

Therefore, we will stop talking about empty words like reading books behind closed doors as punishment.

As for the matter of wanting to marry Mei Xue as my wife, I originally thought of fulfilling you.

But she meddled too much in the affairs of Jinhuan and his wife, and lost her sense.

Moreover, I think only Mei Xue has the ability to turn a person into a living dead without warning.

It is also for the sake of you and Mingze that I kept silent on this matter.

Your wife, who will be the princess in the future, must be an example for the subjects.But these years, Mei Xue has taken credit for her pride, she has already dared to kill Jin Huan, how can she guarantee that she will not turn the silver needle in her hand to me in the future?

Moreover, you and I are actually aware of her life experience.

Therefore, she must not become the eldest concubine of the Shu Palace, and I can at best give her the status of a side concubine. "

Tears welled up in Li Jinzhi's eyes, he was still calling the person in front of him "Brother Huang", but now this person only called himself "Zhen".

This person has already forgotten how Mei Xue did her best for him back then.

His two wives and three sons all survived because of Mei Xue, and his eldest son was also raised by Mei Xue himself.

In order for him to ascend the throne and for the stability of his country, Mei Xue went to danger alone and went out of Beijing several times to run around for him.

But now, if it weren't for the fear of people's words, he would probably wish to put Mei Xue to death immediately.

In the scorching sun, Li Jinzhi knelt on the flagstone floor outside Zhaoyang Hall, his clothes were soon soaked in sweat.

The sweat in the hair fell on the hot stone floor, and evaporated instantly without any trace.

Shen Qingyang walked past Li Jinzhi, his footsteps only paused slightly, and he didn't look like he was going to stop.

But he still heard Li Jinzhi's whisper: Cousin Changle is going to give birth soon, don't disturb her by anything.

Slightly squinting, seeing Li Jinzhi's pale face, Shen Qingyang closed his eyes, but still strode away.

In Kunning Palace, Empress Xie frowned slightly and looked at Mei Xue and said:
"Miss Mei, I have always thought that you are a smart person with a clear mind.

Even outsiders like us can clearly see Jinzhi's friendship with you.

So, it's just a concubine doing decorations, why do you care so much? "

Mei Xue stood up from the brocade bench and saluted Queen Xie, then looked at her calmly and said:

"Your Majesty, this humble official is not just caring about one's status.

In my opinion, the county lord is not at fault, not to mention that her father and brother both died for the court, so why should the county lord become a decoration?And why would you ruin your life's happiness?

For myself, I can never marry for life.But if I get married, I will not only be a regular wife, but I will never accept concubines from the eldest son, even if it is just a housekeeper or even a maid who serves food and clothing without a status, I cannot accept it.

No matter how the world is, in my heart, at least in terms of women, my husband can only love me wholeheartedly.

And I am also willing to wash my hands to make soup and mend clothes under the lamp for him. "

Aunt Hai opened her mouth wide in shock, unable to recover for a long time.She had always known that Mei Xue was an extremely powerful person, but she never expected that she would be so tough.

Such jealous and violating women's morals, she actually said it so righteously.

Or tell the current empress.

Empress Xie was immediately laughed out of anger, her eyes turned cold and she said:

"Miss Mei, Jinzhi is the eldest son and will be a prince in the future. You don't allow any woman to serve him by his side. Is this possible?"

Mei Xue was unmoved, and still said calmly:

"If Your Majesty has other requests, this minister can consider them.

Only on this matter, I must not back down. "

After finishing speaking, Mei Xue knelt down and saluted Empress Xie, then got up and left calmly.

Empress Xie turned pale with anger, grabbed Yu Ruyi on the table and slammed it on the ground.

The violent cracking sound coming from behind did not move Mei Xue in the slightest.

But when she left Kunning Palace and went around to Zhaoyang Palace and saw Li Jin kneeling on the ground, Mei Xue's tears rolled down her eyes.

It was late at night, and the lights in the study were still on.

Gao Yuan, who was guarding the door, frowned anxiously. When he saw Song Zhijie and Peng Liang who was escorting him from a distance, he hurriedly opened the door of the study in advance.

Li Jinzhi stood up and poured tea for Song Zhijie. Song Zhijie took out a wax-sealed bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jinzhi, saying:

"I hope the prince is out of danger."

Li Jinzhi opened the bamboo tube and read the letter inside, heaved a sigh of relief, looked up at Song Zhijie and said:
"Father finally woke up, the matter of raising troops has been decided, sir can arrange the evacuation immediately."

The Shu Palace and the Mei Residence have long been under the strict surveillance of the inner guards, but what Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie are most worried about now is the members of the Xiao family.

The palace is guarded by hidden guards with strong martial arts skills, while Mei's house has a small population and there is a secret passage leading to Wanlin Bookstore.

Only the Xiao family has a large population, and they are all women, children and men who are civil servants, so it is the most difficult to evacuate.

In the past two years, although Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie had managed a relatively mature channel, it was still very risky to safely evacuate so many people to the Lianghu area.

But Song Zhijie knew very well that they had no other way and no more time.

He nodded, got up and walked out, Li Jinzhi followed him to see him off.

In the yard full of moonlight, Shen Qingyang in black floated down. He tore off the kerchief on his face and said coldly:

"In three days, I will take people to transport a large amount of weapons out of the city, and I can hide the Xiao family members in boxes and send them out.

Only with Miss Mei, you must be careful, and you must never let her and the children have any accidents. "

Song Zhijie let out a long breath, and hurriedly bowed to Shen Qingyang to thank him.

Li Jinzhi took a few steps forward in a hurry, but before he could say "thank you", Shen Qingyang flew up and disappeared into the night without a sound.
