she has golden eyes

Mei Xue and Princess Changle didn't care about waiting for the palace people to prepare the sedan chair, and the two of them rushed along the palace road leading to Kunning Palace.

The dragon that Li Jinyu was riding turned out from the corner of the road, and when he saw Mei Xue and Princess Changle, he waved his hand to signal the palace people carrying the sedan chair to stop.

Mei Xue had no choice but to stop, and after saluting, she lowered her eyes and remained silent as before.

The princess of Changle was sweating all over her face from running, and she turned her face away with red eye circles after casting a glance at Li Jinyu.

The few strands of white hair on Li Jinyu's temples made her feel distressed. He is obviously not yet 30 years old!

Li Jinyu knew that Mei Xue would not pay attention to him, so he looked at Princess Changle and asked:

"Changle, what happened? Why do you need to be so flustered when you go to Kunning Palace for a banquet?"

Princess Changle finally couldn't help crying, but still didn't say a word.

Li Jinyu realized the abnormality, so she got off the dragon and said to Mei Xue and Princess Changle:

"I just want to take a walk, you guys go ahead first!"

The servants were running fast with the dragon on their shoulders, Mei Xue turned her head, glanced at Li Jinyu, then turned her head back silently.

In the past two months, Li Jinyu has lost weight obviously, and the dragon robe on her body looks empty in the autumn wind.

Princess Changle couldn't bear the pain in her heart, and held Mei Xue's hand and wept softly:

"Mei Xue, why did it become like this? I can never go back to the past, right?"

Mei Xue put her arms around Princess Changle's shoulders and let her lean into her arms, she was silent for a while before saying:
"Whether it is His Majesty or the Shu Palace, there is no way out.

As for...you and me, just do our best. "

He Zheng, the leader of the internal guards, walked behind Li Jinyu. He looked at Mei Xue who was getting farther and farther in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he still asked Li Jinyu:

"Your Majesty, you know Miss Mei's ability, let her walk freely in the palace like this, will it..."

Li Jinyu smiled, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes piled up, he said mockingly:
"He Zheng, if I say that until now, the person I trust the most is Miss Mei, will you laugh at me?"

He Zheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I dare not."

Li Jinyu waved his hand, signaling He Zheng to get up and follow him, and said as he walked:

"He Zheng, remember, even if the battle between me and the Shu Palace reaches the final critical moment, Miss Mei will not shoot cold arrows in my back, let alone hurt any innocent people.

I know what kind of person she is, you just need to keep her from leaving the palace. "

He Zheng hurriedly responded, not daring to say another word.

Long Lun directly carried it to the gate of Kunning Palace, and the welcoming palace people were taken aback. In addition, Princess Changle went back and forth, so he cleverly reported it to Empress Xie one step ahead of time.

The hall was full of wives and noble ladies from various prefectures, Empress Xie covered her mouth with a light smile and said:

"Don't say that His Majesty loves my cousin all the time, even I feel sorry for my cousin who suffered a great crime during childbirth, and now her body must not have recovered!

And Miss Mei has always contributed a lot. They just sat on the dragon once, so what's all the fuss about?

Come on, go and welcome my cousin and Miss Mei in! "

The hall fell silent instantly, and the people were naturally of different shapes and colors.

Today was supposed to be the day when Empress Xie showed her face. Princess Changle and Mei Xue were acting too ostentatiously.

Mei Xue naturally didn't care about these things, she hurriedly saluted Empress Xie after entering the hall, looked around but did not see Meng Shuyi, so she directly asked Empress Xie if she knew where Meng Shuyi had gone.

Empress Xie laughed, and after looking around at the crowd, she said:

"Look, you guys are still asking me why I don't let Miss Mei come out to talk, how can Miss Mei have as much leisure as you and me, she has to do a lot of things..."

Princess Changle was tired of Queen Xie's yin and yang, so her face turned cold instantly, staring at her and saying:

"If the empress is free to joke, I ask you to wait a little longer.

Meixue and I just want to know where the head of Nanling County is, we must see her immediately. "

No matter how much she believed in Mei Xue's judgment, Meng Shuyi absolutely couldn't say a word without evidence that she wanted to murder her clan.

Empress Xie blushed from being choked by Princess Changle, and Aunt Hai hurried forward to smooth things over:

"Princess, Miss Mei, the county lord said he wanted to go out for a walk, so he took the children to the Chrysanthemum Garden."

Hearing that Meng Shuyi was with the children, Princess Changle turned pale instantly, and said sharply to Aunt Hai:
"You send someone to invite the imperial physicians to Juyuan immediately, the children may be in danger, hurry up!"

After finishing speaking, she and Mei Xue ran outside quickly.

Hearing the words "the children may be in danger", the hall instantly became chaotic.

Even if they didn't know the reason, and they looked down on Mei Xue and Princess Changle's background and demeanor, all these noble ladies panicked.

In order to congratulate the second and third princes on their birthdays, they all brought their own sons or grandchildren into the palace.

So, even ignoring etiquette, some people actually ran in front of Empress Xie and Aunt Hai, and followed Mei Xue and Princess Changle to the Chrysanthemum Garden.

Empress Xie's legs were so weak that she could hardly walk because she knew Mei Xue better than anyone else.

She knew that even though Princess Changle had a carefree temper, Mei Xue had always acted prudently.

For such an important matter, without certain evidence, Mei Xue would never act hastily.

In autumn, the chrysanthemum garden is the most beautiful place in the Imperial Garden, and it is very close to Kunning Palace. You only need to go out from the back door of Kunning Palace and walk a short path to get there.

When she arrived near the chrysanthemum garden, Mei Xue discovered something unusual.

The gate of the garden was closed tightly, no one was on duty at the gate, and there was no sound of children playing in the garden.

Only the melancholy and sad sound of the piano is flowing slowly.

Princess Changle was anxious and angry, kicked the door open with her foot.

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of chrysanthemums, with a bitter fragrance lingering in the air.

The narrow path paved with cobblestones leads directly to the foot of the rockery in the center of the garden.

Outside the small pavilion above the rockery, Meng Shuyi, dressed in white filial piety, was kneeling and playing the piano, with a white filial cloth on her head.

Mei Xue followed Princess Changle and ran up the rockery, seeing the silver-red outerwear and pearls and emerald jewelry scattered on the steps, she felt a sharp pain.

When Mei Xue and Princess Changle climbed up the rockery panting, Meng Shuyi finally stopped the piano in her hand, looked at Mei Xue and said with a smile:
"Miss Mei, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you!"

Mei Xue gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, ignoring Meng Shuyi, and started banging on the door together with Princess Changle.

In a small attic, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no sound inside.

When Empress Xie and others arrived, the door of the small pavilion happened to be smashed open.

Ruoyou Ruowu's strange fragrance wafted from the room, and seeing everyone scrambling to go inside to find her own child, Mei Xue shouted anxiously to stop:

"The aroma is poisonous, you wait, I will go in first and open the windows."

While shouting, Mei Xue took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose and rushed in, Princess Changle and others also followed her example.

The room was full of fragrance, and the floor was full of children and palace attendants.

Crying suddenly broke out, and even Empress Xie didn't care about her face, she crawled on the ground with disheveled hair, looking for her two sons while crying.

Mei Xue opened all the windows together with Princess Changle. She only felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and she even started to retch.

Mei Xue knew that her retching was caused by psychological discomfort, she struggled out the door, and saw Meng Shuyi still standing in her original position looking at her.

The autumn wind lifted Meng Shuyi's filial piety clothes, and she was obviously thinner than when she was seen outside Kunning Palace two months ago.

Mei Xue walked up to Meng Shuyi, looked at her for a while and said:
"Back then, when the Rebellious King rebelled, although I had learned some news in advance, there were unexpected circumstances beyond my control.

I know that you hate me and Shizi, and Lord Shen, and I know that you hate all the people who survived who were present at that time.

I don't want to excuse, can't, and feel guilty all the time.

I just want to ask you, did Mr. Liang die in an accident, or did you kill him? "

Meng Shuyi smiled lightly, looked at Mei Xue and said:
"I knew that once you learned of my cousin's death, you would definitely suspect me.

Yes, I killed him because he refused to give me this chance of revenge. "

Thinking of that carefree, cheerful and smiling young man, and of him and Ping An running wildly and frolicking in the yard, Mei Xue felt as if her heart was being pierced.

But looking at Meng Shuyi, who was as thin as a paper figure, and the dead silence in her eyes, Mei Xue's lips trembled for a long time, and she only said one sentence:

"You can't let yourself go, wait for His Majesty to send you off, so as to minimize the anger in his heart.

If the Empress Dowager intercedes again, maybe there will be a way out for the women and children of the Meng family. "

Tears finally fell from Meng Shuyi's eyes, she nodded and pointed to the back of the attic and said to Mei Xue:

"When I was young, I often went to the palace with my mother, the first princess... she was very kind to me.

Her two daughters are not in the attic, go find them in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain! "

Mei Xue took a deep look at Meng Shuyi, turned around and ran behind the rockery.

The cries behind him became farther and farther away, and soon Li Jinyu's roar came again.

Mei Xue stumbled and ran on the steps going down the mountain, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

She originally thought that this autumn, the bloodiest scene would happen on the day when the Shu king's army approached the city.

Unexpectedly, this scene was earlier and even more tragic.
