Chapter 136

The soft sedan chair was carried to the gate of Kunning Palace, just as two palace servants were carrying a lantern to send a woman out.

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

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

Because she didn't even look at Mei Xue, just nodded to Gao Qiang and hurried away.

Mei Xue didn't care too much, she got up and got off the sedan chair on her own.

Gao Qiang was very careful, seeing Mei Xue turning her head to look at the woman's back, he hurriedly said with a smile:

"Miss Mei, that is the head of Nanling County. Recently, she often goes to the palace to help the Empress take care of the eldest son."

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

That's the person who was accused of marrying Li Jinzhi, the son of King Shu. Why did he talk so much in front of Mei Xue?

If Miss Mei is not happy and refuses to enter Kunning Palace, won't he be in bad luck?
Seeing Gao Qiang froze with fright, Mei Xue couldn't help laughing, rolled up her sleeves and comforted him with a smile:

"Thank you for letting me know. I have never met the county magistrate before. I took a look just now. She does look somewhat similar to Mrs. Hou."

Seeing that Mei Xue didn't seem to have any grievances, Gao Qiang heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led Mei Xue with a smile.

Mei Xue walked forward with downcast eyes, but secretly sneered in her heart.

It is extremely unruly for an unmarried lady to stay in the Kunning Palace until late at night.

She had just come out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and she had never heard about the matter of Meng Shuyi's entry into the palace by the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang. Obviously, they were ignorant of it.

Shu Wang's mansion became empty overnight, Meng Shuyi didn't even have to do the decorations, but she was still willing to help Empress Xie wholeheartedly, this is really a rare thing.

Mei Xue asked herself that she had no hostility towards Meng Shuyi, and she even sympathized with this girl in her heart.

But now it seems that she is self-indulgent.

The lights in Kunning Palace were brightly lit, but apart from Li Mingze's heartbreaking cry, no one dared to make a sound.

Empress Xie looked haggard, and she hugged Li Mingze herself to comfort her, but Li Mingze was still crying, and kept grabbing Empress Xie's clothes and hair with his only moving right hand.

He even tore off one of Queen Xie's earrings abruptly.

Li Jinyu stood with a dark face, turning a blind eye to Empress Xie's embarrassment.

As soon as Mei Xue entered the hall, Li Mingze's crying suddenly became quieter as if he had a telepathy, and he turned his head hard to look in Mei Xue's direction.

Li Jinyu looked at Empress Xie coldly. Empress Xie was taken aback for a moment, and quickly walked up to Mei Xue and handed Li Mingze into her arms.

After only seeing each other for a few days, Li Mingze has already lost a lot of weight, and his originally pink face has also become dry and dull.

Empress Xie hastily straightened her loose hair, and politely said to Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, Mingze hasn't eaten much these two days. Let's see what he likes to eat. I'll do it myself."

Mei Xue didn't even look at Empress Xie, she just said lightly:

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

Empress Xie didn't expect Mei Xue to be so presumptuous, and she blushed with anger.But in front of Li Jinyu, she didn't dare to show anything, instead she acted anxiously and told Aunt Hai:

"Hurry up, prepare a pen and paper, and follow Miss Mei's instructions to write the prescription."

Compared to Empress Xie's face, Mei Xue naturally valued Li Mingze more. She ignored Empress Xie and 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 back of his feet.

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

"The empress is also the mother of two children, do you think a child with eczema can eat much more?
Did you really not find out?Could it be that you haven't bathed the eldest son of the emperor in such hot weather? "

It is the time of autumn dryness, and this degree of eczema will be doubly painful.

Empress Xie was so anxious that she shed tears and hurriedly explained:
"Miss Mei, is Bengong the kind of femme fatale woman you mentioned? In fact, Mingze has been crying and fussing, not to mention taking a bath, even if I want to change his clothes while he is asleep, I can't do it." I realized that because of the slightest movement, the child would cry endlessly.

As for the imperial physician, Mingze wouldn't even let him touch him. "

It was only then that Mei Xue noticed that Li Mingze was indeed wearing the same suit as when he left Mei's house, and his inner garment was already covered with sweat.

Li Jinyu's face was so dark that water could be wrung out. Seeing Aunt Hai coming in with a pen and ink, he angrily reprimanded her and said:

"Are they all dead people? They are slow to do anything."

Aunt Hai was so frightened that she almost fell down. Empress Xie knew that Li Jinyu was trying to show her face, so she hurriedly knelt down.

She didn't dare to cry any more, she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and shed tears silently.

Mei Xue wrote a prescription for Aunt Hai to make a decoction, and then ordered the palace servants to get the ointment for children's eczema to apply to Li Mingze first.

From the moment he saw Mei Xue, Li Mingze's emotions stabilized. He no longer cried loudly, but used his only movable right hand to hold onto Mei Xue firmly.

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

He must be extremely tired and extremely nervous, so, as soon as Mei Xue tidied him up and carried him into her arms, he quickly fell asleep, but was still sobbing softly while sleeping.

Aunt Hai hurried into the house, knelt on the ground and reported that the soup was ready.

Mei Xue glanced at her and said:

"Warm the soup on the stove, and prepare cold water in advance.

When the eldest son of the emperor wakes up, you can warm the soup and medicine and bring it in. I will give the eldest son a medicinal bath.

In addition, let the nanny express the breast milk first and warm it up, and send it in later. "

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

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

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

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

Mei Xue ignored Empress Xie, and sat in a round chair with Li Mingze in her arms, closing her eyes and resting her mind.

The room was quiet, and after a long time, Empress Xie finally couldn't help it, sneered and said:

"Miss Mei is a good means, but I still thank you for being lenient and not saying more."

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

"Your Majesty is not here, so just say what you want, Your Majesty."

The devil believed that Empress Xie didn't know that Li Mingze had eczema, and Mei Xue just hated Empress Xie's despicable methods and didn't bother to pester her anymore.

Empress Xie's hair was torn into a mess by Li Mingze. She simply tore off the hairpin from her head and threw it on the ground. With her hair loose, she said to Mei Xue:

"Mei Xue, at least in the past, I didn't treat you and Li Jinzhi badly. I didn't expect you to hide this child for so long. What are you thinking? Do you think I don't know?"

Mei Xue was immediately laughed out of anger, she hugged Li Mingze even tighter in her arms, then looked at Queen Xie coldly and said:

"Your Majesty, you are a smart person, so why do you have to put on a face in front of this humble minister?
As long as I have a little bit of what you think is a dirty mind, I will not help you when you give birth. Whether it is letting your two sons die together, or letting both mother and child die, it is very important for me. It's a breeze, isn't it?

Moreover, in the past dynasties, is there any disabled person who can ascend the throne as the emperor?What's more, the eldest son of the emperor was doomed to be seriously disabled for life, and he might not even be able to say a complete sentence in this life. "

Empress Xie was so questioned that she was tongue-tied, and it took a long time before she said:

"I've known for a long time that you have a bad tongue, but have you ever thought about my suffering?

Ben Gong's two children can already run and jump and will be called Father Emperor, but His Majesty still doesn't mention the matter of establishing a crown prince. How can you let Ben Gong rest assured? "

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

"It's hard to save the life of a humble official, not to mention discussing the prince in private is a serious crime, the empress better not come to harm the humble official.

As for the pain in your heart, from the moment your empress chose to follow the former queen, you have no right to regret it. "

Who doesn't live a hard life?Is it because Li Mingze is not pitiful, or is the former princess Yang Shumin not pitiful?
At least Empress Xie can still hope that she can be a legitimate queen mother in the future, and some people's life has just begun and it has come to an end.

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

She didn't want to talk anymore, she just closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair to rest, still holding Li Mingze tightly in her arms.

Empress Xie stood blankly, and walked out in a daze after a long time.

Outside the main hall, seeing Empress Xie going into the rain, Aunt Hai rushed to catch up with her umbrella, but was pushed away by Empress Xie.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Empress Xie walked slowly in the rain with her face up.

She was grateful that the autumn rain was loud enough to drown out her cries.

What Mei Xue said was right, she had no right to regret it long ago, no matter what the road ahead was, she had to go on.
