she has golden eyes

It was still He Zheng and a dozen of his subordinates guarding the gate of Zhaoyang Hall.Seeing Mei Xue go and come back, and running out of breath, He Zheng's eyes flashed involuntarily.

Mei Xue stopped to catch her breath, didn't speak, just stared at He Zheng.

He Zheng and Gao Qiang are the people Li Jinyu trusts the most, and they are also the ones who can serve him closely.If the former concubine Yang Shumin was really imprisoned in Zhaoyang Palace, these two people must be insiders.

He Zheng didn't intend to let Mei Xue in, so he recovered his expression in a moment and said:

"Miss Mei, Your Majesty said he wants to rest, but he is not seeing anyone right now. If you have something to do, come back tomorrow!"

Mei Xue stared into He Zheng's eyes and said:

"Master He, the person I want to see is not His Majesty, and it will not affect his rest."

He Zheng frowned immediately, and the moment he looked at Mei Xue, he already understood the meaning of Mei Xue's words.

He Zheng remained silent, Mei Xue wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Master He, if I go in and offend His Majesty, I will bear the responsibility alone.

But if you insist on not letting me in, you will definitely regret it. "

He Zheng glanced back at the hall with its doors and windows closed, and nodded after hesitating for a while.

Mei Xue followed behind He Zheng and ran all the way in.

Gao Qiang stood guard at the door of the imperial study room. When he saw He Zheng and Mei Xue running over, he hurriedly gestured for silence, and lowered his voice and said:

"Slow down, both of you. Slow down, Your Majesty just retired..."

Without waiting for Gao Qiang to finish speaking, He Zheng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the imperial study.

There was no one in the study, and the three of them walked quickly into the bedroom behind, but Li Jinyu was still nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, even Gao Qiang's expression changed. He and He Zheng exchanged glances, and then quickly pressed the dragon head carved on the post at the end of the bed.

The wall on the west side of the dormitory slowly parted, revealing a faint yellow halo.

Mei Xue took a deep breath and clenched her hands tightly into fists.

The passage to the Chamber of Secrets is very long and slopes downwards all the way.Between Gao Qiang and He Zheng, Mei Xue walked along the steps for more than a quarter of an hour, and finally her eyes suddenly became clear.

The secret room is not big, but it looks clean at first glance, and there is still a faint fragrance of pear blossoms in the air.

Mei Xue saw an old man huddled in the corner at a glance, and she hurried over.

Nanny Jiang was shockingly old, when Mei Xue hugged her, she felt that she was as light as a child.

Recognizing that the person in front of her was Mei Xue, Mother Jiang cried out, pleading hoarsely for Mei Xue to go in and save Yang Shumin, saying that Li Jinyu was forcing Yang Shumin to take poison.

But no matter how hard Gao Qiang and He Zheng tried, the door couldn't be pushed open. Gao Qiang turned his face and said to Mei Xue:
"Miss Mei, this door must have been locked from the inside."

He Zheng was so anxious that his head was sweating, he stuck his scabbard into the crack of the door, and then began to kick the door vigorously.

Mei Xue was sitting in the corner holding Nanny Jiang, seeing more and more light coming through the crack of the door, her eyes gradually turned red.

She has always suspected that Yang Shumin was secretly sent out of the capital by Li Jinyu, and lived a peaceful life in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

But it never occurred to him that Yang Shumin was imprisoned in this dark place by Li Jinyu, and he would force Yang Shumin to die with him.

The door was finally kicked open, and the loud bang made the silence inside even more.

Mei Xue hurriedly put down Nanny Jiang, but when she ran in with He Zheng and Gao Qiang, they were all stunned.

Li Jinyu was lying on the bed with blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was out of breath.

Yang Shumin, with half-white hair, sat blankly beside Li Jinyu, holding Li Jinyu's left hand tightly with one hand, and an empty wine glass in the other.

She looked up at Mei Xue, tears streaming down her face, and murmured:
"I'd like to go with him, I don't know...I don't know...what's the matter."

Mei Xue ran up to hold Yang Shumin in her arms, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

The noisy footsteps of the guards could be heard outside, Gao Qiang and He Zheng both turned pale.

Li Jinyu just left, and one can imagine what will happen to them.

Mei Xue half dragged and half hugged to take Yang Shumin away, but she just cried and held Li Jinyu's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Mei Xue looked at Li Jinyu, looked at the blood at the corner of his mouth, at the corners of his eyes and forehead that were already densely covered with wrinkles, and turned her face away with heartache.

In his life, there shouldn't be a few days when he was happy, right?
Along with the news of the emperor's death, there was also an order from the empress dowager, ordering the officers and soldiers to give up resistance and welcome the king and son of Shu to Beijing.

Only two days later, Shen Qingyang hurried back to the capital.Along with him, there were Mei Gang, Song Zhijie and others.

Mei Xue immediately left the palace and rushed to the Shu Palace. Song Zhijie was already waiting for her, and when they met, he hurriedly said:
"Miss Mei, the prince will be able to enter the capital in three days at the latest. The son's intention is to settle the eldest son and the two little princesses as soon as possible."

Mei Xue didn't ask much, just nodded and said:

"I know the importance of this matter, and I have already discussed it with the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess. As soon as the prince enters Beijing, the Empress Dowager will propose to let the mother and son move to Lilac, saying that it is for the convenience of me. Their mother and child diagnose illnesses."

With the temperament of the King of Shu, although he deeply hated Li Jinyu for sending people to assassinate him several times, it would not make things difficult for Yang Shumin, mother and son.

After all, they are all people who are not a threat to him, and they can also take the opportunity to gain a good reputation for generosity.

But the people around King Shu had to be on guard, especially Concubine Lin who was always with him.

This may be the reason why the Empress Dowager is still holding on.

Mei Xue thought for a while, then said to Song Zhijie:
"I would like to trouble you to go to Xie's mansion and discuss with the head of the country. If he is willing to leave Beijing immediately to avoid disaster, please arrange someone to protect his family."

She promised that Queen Xie would do her best, so she must not break her promise.

Song Zhijie responded, and before he had time to say more, he sent Mei Xue out and said:

"I'm going to do it now, girl don't have to worry.

The head of the state has always been cautious in his words and deeds, he knows what to do. "

Empress Xie was running out of time, and Xie's family left Beijing at this time. Although it seemed ruthless, it was the best way to show weakness to the King of Shu.

It's just that there is still chaos outside, if they want to return home safely, it is best to be escorted by people from the Shu Palace.

Moreover, if you want to live safely in Qiantang in the future, you need to make arrangements with the Qiantang government in the name of Li Jinzhi.

It was already evening when Mei Xue returned to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Li Mingze dozed off and cried because he couldn't see Mei Xue.

Princess Chenyang handed Li Mingze to Mei Xue, sighed and said:

"This child only recognizes you now, and even his mother refuses to give him a hug."

Mei Xue comforted Li Mingze until he stopped crying, and then fed him milk, and then went to the side hall to visit Yang Shumin after he fell asleep.

Princess Yongming and Princess Yongqing are nestled next to Yang Shumin, one on the left and the other on the right. Although they haven't seen each other for several years, the dependence of the two children on their mother is obvious.

All three of the mother and daughter had swollen eyes, obviously they had just cried.

Princess Yongming is 11 years old. She probably feels that she has the responsibility to protect her mother and sister. She looked at Mei Xue and asked her, although she was timid:
"Father is gone, will Uncle Huang and the others come back..."

Before finishing speaking, Princess Yongming burst into tears.

Princess Yongqing also cried, hiding in Yang Shumin's arms and not daring to look at Mei Xue.

Looking at the three mother and daughter who were in a panic, Mei Xue couldn't help but get red eyes.She hugged Princess Yongming into her arms and asked her softly:
"Then who do you think Uncle Jin likes the most?"

"Uncle Huang likes his younger brother the most, and regards him as his own son. But... but Father Emperor sent people to... to kill..."

"Then can the princess tell me, who told you these words?"

"Yes... yes... Aunt Hai."

Princess Yongming hesitated for a moment, but answered anyway.

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, gently stroked Princess Yongming's hair and said:

"I can assure you that Uncle Jin sees the two of you the same as your younger brother.

In the future, I will continue to take care of my younger brother, and you can live with me if you wish.

The plum mansion in Lilac is very spacious, you can all have your own yard, and the house can also be arranged like the rooms in the palace. "

A look of joy flashed in Princess Yongming's eyes, she turned her head to look at her mother and younger sister, then hurriedly turned back and nodded to Mei Xue again and again.

Meixue was deeply hurt by the young child's joy at being able to continue to live.

Early the next morning, when Mei Xue saw Princess Changle, she repeated Princess Yongming's words, and then said to Princess Changle:

"Aunt Hai, you can't stay in the palace anymore."

Dare to tell the truth in front of the children, no matter right or wrong, the intention is bad.

Princess Changle nodded, sighed and said:

"The queen probably won't be able to survive for a few days. After that, at least those who serve her closely will be kicked out."

The King of Shu arrived in the capital three days later, and took Concubine Lin and his party to live in the Palace of the King of Shu.

Concubine Shu and Li Jinfeng were still on their way back to Beijing from Chengdu. The second wife, Huang Qingya, stayed in Hankou to wait for delivery, but Concubine Lin brought Li Jinhuan, who had been half-dead, back to the capital.

That afternoon, the King of Shu led Li Jinzhi into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager. Yang Shumin led the two daughters to kneel down to meet them, and Mei Xue hugged Li Mingze and knelt behind them.

Even when he was in high spirits, he couldn't hide the oldness of King Shu, especially when he was poisoned, which greatly damaged his health.

Li Jinzhi looked at Mei Xue, didn't speak, just bent down and took Li Mingze into his arms.

The King of Shu cried beside the Empress Dowager, and then sat on the brocade bench and said to Yang Shumin and her daughter:

"It's all a family, get up, you don't have to do such a big gift in the future."

Everyone understood what the King of Shu meant, and the Empress Dowager was deeply comforted, and she held the King of Shu's hand and choked with sobs, saying that she hoped that both Yang Shumin and her son would live with Mei Xue:
"It's not just for the convenience of Mingze's treatment. Your sister Shumin's body has also been ruined over the years. Let them all follow Mei Xue for the convenience of treatment. It can also bring their mothers together."

The King of Shu didn't speak, but he glanced at Li Jinzhi, then at the expectant Princess Chenyang and Princess Changle beside him, and finally nodded.

Shen Qingyang had been waiting outside the hall. When Mei Xue hugged Li Mingze and left the Compassionate Ning Palace with Yang Shumin's mother and daughter, she heard the King of Shu tell Shen Qingyang to enter.

No matter how people speculated and worried before, the transfer of power in Beijing finally ended in a relatively calm atmosphere:

The king of Shu ordered Li Jinyu to be buried generously, and any officials and people who participated in the resistance should not be held accountable.

Officials at all levels breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to prepare for the succession of the new emperor.

Ping An was sent back to Lilac by Li Jinzhi, and Mei Xue led Yang Shumin and the four children to live together, except for going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager, they stayed behind closed doors.

Two days before Empress Xie died of illness, Mei Xue went to visit her.

Empress Xie, who was so thin that she lost her human form, first thanked Mei Xue, thanked her and Li Jinzhi for properly settling the Xie family, and then said to her:

"If possible, please Miss Mei say "I'm sorry" to Sister Yang for me. Now, I sincerely hope that she and the children can live in peace and well."

After Mei Xue returned to Lilac, she conveyed Empress Xie's words to Yang Shumin. Yang Shumin smiled bitterly and said:
"I never hated her, she has her difficulties, and, these years, she has taken care of my two daughters with all her heart. I was not liked by the first queen, it was me and Jinyu... She is also a poor people."

Today is a rare fine weather in winter, Ping An played with Yongming and Princess Yongqing, Li Jinzhi stood beside Li Mingze holding Li Mingze, Li Mingze was also so happy that he kept waving his right hand.

Yang Shumin rubbed the corner of her eyes, looked at Li Jinzhi in the yard, then turned her head and asked Mei Xue in a low voice:

"After the winter solstice is the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, Jinzhi will definitely be established as the crown prince, then you..."

Mei Xue shook her head, looked at Yang Shumin with a smile and said:

"This matter, I have my own son to be the master. We don't need to ask more, so as not to add pressure to him."

Yang Shumin sighed, looking hesitant to speak.

She grew up in the palace, how could she not know how difficult this matter is?
Although the concubines of the Great Jin Dynasty were all selected from the common people, the empress and princes and concubines have always come from famous families.

Li Jinzhi is the definite candidate for the crown prince. There are so many aristocratic families and important officials in the court who are eyeing his wife's position now!
Xiao Yan had already returned to Luoyang with his family. At this moment, he rushed into the yard angrily, not noticing that Mei Xue and Yang Shumin were in the room, so he said loudly to Li Jinzhi:

"Li Dao Chong that old thief, relying on the old to sell the old, if he talks nonsense in front of my uncle again, I will pluck his beard."

Li Daochong is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now is the hottest time, not only because he is organizing the enthronement ceremony, but also because he has the right to make suggestions on the selection of the East Palace Crown Princess.

Many people have approached Li Daochong secretly, hoping that he can give him some kind words.

Today's Li Jinzhi is completely different from before.In the eyes of these nobles, Mei Xue is not only a lowly medical girl, but also has an innocent background, how could she become a princess?

Of course she is not worthy, to be a side concubine is already too much.

Xiao Yan was furious because of this incident, and he stayed at the Shu Palace every day when he had free time, whenever he saw Li Daochong and others show their faces, he would sneer and ridicule them.

Li Jinzhi smiled, and after thinking for a while, he tilted his head and approached Xiao Yan and whispered a few words.

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then leaned forward and back together happily and said to Li Jinzhi:
"Cousin, this is really a good idea, don't worry, I will leave everything to me, and I promise to handle it properly for you.

I'd like to see what the faces of those noble ladies who think they are superior to others will be when the time comes. "

Li Jinzhi nodded, encouraged Xiao Yan and said:
"Just do it with confidence, I will definitely bring Miss Mei there that day."

Xiao Yan ran out while answering, forgetting to go to Mei Xue to say hello.

Yang Shumin and Mei Xue sat behind the window together, watching the scene outside the window, she couldn't laugh or cry.

Mei Xue just smiled and said to Yang Shumin:

"Your Majesty, Shizi is a bit naughty sometimes, I don't think he has any good ideas for Young Master Xiao."

Yang Shumin also laughed, shook Mei Xue's hand and said:
"Seeing you and Jinzhi like this, I'm really happy for you."

After having lunch with the children, Li Jinzhi was about to return to the palace, and Mei Xue followed him out to see him off.

Li Jinzhi talked about asking Mei Xue to visit Xiao's house in a few days, then looked at her apologetically and said:

"Although this can be done once and for all, I always feel that I have wronged you. After all, you are a girl, and you have never liked places with many people."

Mei Xue shook her head, gathered Li Jinzhi's cloak and said:

"This is a matter between the two of us, I am willing to fight for it, there is no grievance.

It's just that, with the prince, I'm afraid it's hard for you to explain. "

Li Jinzhi just laughed, put his arms around Mei Xue's shoulder and said in a low voice:

"It's nothing more than being scolded by my father. In the past few years, I have been asking Mr. Song to give him advice, and he knows it well."

The sun in winter is not warm, but it is dazzling.Gao Yuan and Peng Liang hid behind the Moon Gate and peeked, both grinning happily.
