Chapter 19 Leaving Shu
It was late at night, and the King of Shu quietly went to Zhizhu Garden in light clothes and simple congregation.

Li Jinzhi had already fallen asleep, seeing the king of Shu coming late at night alone, Peng Liang hurriedly withdrew to guard the door.

Li Jinzhi got up to salute the King of Shu, but the King of Shu didn't speak, but his eyes turned red first, and the hands holding Li Jinzhi's shoulders kept shaking.

Li Jinzhi smiled, helped the King of Shu to ask him to sit down, and sat down beside him himself.

In the candlelight, the eldest son was dressed in white, and his black hair was scattered behind him, making his face even more jade-like.

The King of Shu couldn't help sobbing, and said in a low voice:

"The capital is a place of tigers and wolves. When you go there, you must be careful at all times. Just take good care of your grandma. In two years, once your grandma. Father will definitely pick you up immediately."

Li Jinzhi laughed again, changed his gentle and elegant image in the past, looked into the eyes of the king of Shu and said:
"Father, do you really believe that the palace just wants me to go back to serve the imperial grandmother?"

The king of Shu was stunned, and after a long time he sighed and lowered his head.

He and the emperor are brothers with the same mother and the same robe, but the two brothers have not been close since childhood.Later, when Li Jinzhi was born, the emperor feared him even more because of the late emperor's preference.

If it wasn't for his reputation inside and outside the court, how could the emperor allow him to live safely in Shu for so many years?
Li Jinzhi put his hands on his knees, lowered his eyes and smiled softly:

"I thought I was going to die soon, but since God refuses to accept me, I want to live a good life."

As he said, he raised his eyes and looked at the King of Shu:
"Father, we have lived too long with the sword hanging on the top. Instead of not knowing when we will die, we should give it a go. Even if we die, we will have no regrets."

The king of Shu was shocked, looked at his son in disbelief, and murmured after a long time:
"Your grandpa is right, sooner or later, sooner or later..."

Hearing the King of Shu mention the late Emperor, Li Jinzhi's eyes turned red, but he refused to cry, he only gritted his teeth, and the tears in his eyes gradually disappeared.

With trembling hands, the King of Shu took out a black iron butterfly token from his sleeve, handed it to Li Jinzhi and said:

"Your grandpa gave it to me before he left, saying that if one day, you are cornered, you should take this out. This is the person he left for you, and he will always keep you alive."

Li Jinzhi took the butterfly token, stroked it gently with his hand and said:
"If I lose, I would rather die in the capital. I will have no regrets in being in the same place as the emperor's grandfather."

Having said that, he looked up at the King of Shu and said:

"Father, if I have a successful day, I will definitely take you back to Beijing as soon as possible, so that the emperor's grandmother can see you again in her lifetime."

The King of Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and wept silently with his hands covering his face.

It took two days to load the ship. In addition to the big ship that Li Jinzhi and others took, there were several other ships carrying goods and escorts.

The King of Shu took Princess Shu and the group to see off at the pier. Mei Xue didn't see Li Jinhuan, only Li Jinfeng, whose eyes were red from crying, was by Princess Shu's side.

Concubine Shu has been able to deal with Concubine Lin for many years, so she naturally has some means. Now that Concubine Lin has entered Puji Temple again, her status in the palace is naturally unmatched.

Unsurprisingly, besides Chen Yiling, Song Zhijie was also accompanied by the Prince of Shu Palace.

Only Xiao Yan was smiling all the way, and went to talk to Mei Xue as soon as he boarded the boat:
"Miss Mei, do you know? My cousin is really clever, hahaha... Cousin Feng was going to leave Chengdu secretly in the middle of the night last night, but was stopped by my cousin's people, and my cousin arranged for a few people to stay close at every step guard him."

Xiao Yan's laughing point, as Li Jinzhi's health improved, obviously became lower and lower.

Even seeing a flower in the garden bloom better than before, he can enjoy it for a long time.

Mei Xue handed Ping An to the nurse for her to take to rest, poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Yan and said:

"Young master came just in time, I just wanted to ask you something."

"Just ask if you have anything to say, and I will tell you everything."

Xiao Yan sat down in the chair with a grin, looked at Mei Xue with a smile and said.

Mei Xue smiled, and calmly talked about the Yan family, and then asked Xiao Yan if he knew anything about the Yan family and the Qiao family:

"The so-called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy will never end in a hundred battles, even though my surname is Mei, Miss Qiao has long since died.

But others have been planning to kill me for more than ten years, I know better, so I can deal with it better. "

The trouble has come to this point, even if Xiao Yan is not told now, he will definitely know about the stormy city after he arrives in Beijing.

Xiao Yan was already stunned, and after a while he jumped up and said:
"Zhi Niang's traitor Yan Zhixiu, a lowly thing with a gold seal on his face, dares to bully the Shu Palace."

A few years ago, the Yan family father and son were dispatched to Liangzhou, and the faces of the grown men were all tattooed.

Mei Xue shook her head, raised her hand to signal Xiao Yan to sit down, and said calmly:

"The killer of the Yan family came out of Beijing last winter, and I had no connection with the palace at that time."

So it can't be said that Yan Zhixiu bullied the Shu Palace.

Xiao Yan became angry again and cursed:

"I don't care when those bastards troubled you. You are my cousin's savior and the benefactor of our Xiao family. From now on, my lord, I will be at odds with that Yan family."

Xiao Yan was so angry that he jumped up and down. He drank two cups of tea to suppress his anger, and then told Meixue what he knew.

The Yan family has risen rapidly since Yan Yuncai and his son returned to Beijing. Today, there are many disciples and former officials in the government and the public, and Yan Yuncai has been promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet.

But people in the capital generally don't think highly of the Yan family. One of the reasons is that the faces of several adult males in the Yan family are all tattooed.

Although everyone knows that Yan Yuncai was framed for his involvement in the corruption case back then, the world sees him like this, and no one can change it.

Therefore, for so many years, no matter how beautiful the Yan family is, women are almost always married at a low level, and men are rarely married at a high level.

After all, no well-to-do family is willing to marry their daughter to a man with a tattoo on his face.

And the girls of the Yan family who have grown up over the years have all been beaten into low status during the catastrophe in their childhood. Let me ask, who would be willing to marry such a girl from a really good family?
When Xiao Yan said this, he felt a little relieved, thought for a while and said to Mei Xue:

"As for the Qiao family, I have never met Mr. Qiao, but I only heard that he is obsessed with Taoism and lives in the mountains all year round to practice Taoism.

As for that Qiao Yan family, he is very famous, a well-known virtuous and virtuous person in Beijing.

Now it seems that [-]% is also a wolf in sheep's clothing. "

When Xiao Yan said this, he became angry again, beat the table hard and said:

"I don't believe it. Yan Zhixiu's black-hearted deeds were not instigated by this woman. As expected, stepmothers in the world don't have anything good to say."

Mei Xue still looked indifferent, even with a slight smile in her eyes, she corrected Xiao Yan and said:
"She was ordered by the Holy Majesty to be Qiao Jiaping's wife, not a concubine, nor a stepmother."

Xiao Yan curled his lips in disdain, but after all, this question involved Emperor Ming De, so it was difficult for him to say more.

Mei Xue asked him again:

"What about the twins in Qiao's family? Have you heard of it?"

Xiao Yan's face became a little uncomfortable, he frowned, as if he had made up his mind, and then said:
"That kid Qiao Zhuowen is quite capable. He can write well and read books well. We are studying in the Imperial College, and he is the favorite of the professors."

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Mei Xue guessed that he probably didn't get along well with Qiao Zhuowen.

"As for Qiao Zhuowen's younger sister, she is a well-known talented woman in the capital. She is also known as the number one beauty in the capital. I have seen her before. She is just like that. She is so pitiful that she will fall down when the wind blows."

Xiao Yan laughed again when he said this, looked at Mei Xue and said:
"Those ignorant idiots in the capital flock to Qiao Anran, I'm not like them, I never flatter Qiao Anran.

Speaking of which, Miss Mei, you look better and get along with you comfortably, almost like a brother. "

Mei Xue was very speechless, she glanced at Xiao Yan and said:

"I personally think that when someone says they want to treat a woman as a brother, it's usually because the woman is ugly or unattractive, and the man can't bear to hurt her, so there is such a euphemism. "

Xiao Yan laughed out loud, so happy that he collapsed in the round chair and couldn't get up.

Mei Xue looked at him with a smile, her lowered eyes were cold.
