she has golden eyes

Chapter 24 Temple Fair
The candlelight was flickering, and there was a faint scent of medicine lingering in the air.

Li Jinzhi was half asleep on the soft pillow. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Mei Xue, he sat up and asked with a smile:
"Miss Mei is back, how is Lord Shen's injury?"

Mei Xue didn't speak, she went to the bed and sat on the low stool. First she checked Li Jinzhi's pulse, and when she saw that there was nothing serious, she lowered her eyes and said lightly:

"This time it is considered a success. It is unlikely that he will be disabled, but he needs to rest for a relatively long period of time."

Li Jinzhi nodded with a smile, and asked if Ping An was okay.

Mei Xue replied briefly, and after Gao Yuan served Li Jinzhi and rinsed his mouth after drinking the medicine, Mei Xue got up and prepared to leave.

Li Jinzhi suddenly stopped her and said:

"Miss Mei, please stay, I have something to tell you."

Gao Yuan immediately went out with the medicine bowl.

Mei Xue sat back on the low stool and looked at Li Jinzhi. She probably knew what he would say to him. She had guesses, but she still needed Li Jinzhi's words to prove it.

Li Jinzhi smiled, crossed his hands on the thin quilt and gently twisted his fingertips and said:
"Among the people who attacked us this time, at least some of them were internal guards from the palace. Mr. Song and I both believed that Mr. Shen was unaware, so when we made arrangements in advance, I told my subordinates to pay attention to Mr. Shen's behavior." It's safe, but unfortunately there is still an accident."

Mei Xue raised her eyes, looked at Li Jinzhi and said:

"If you don't take the opportunity to get rid of Mr. Shen, I already admire the young master's mind."

Li Jinzhi laughed again, shook his head lightly and said:
"Master Shen has no ill intentions towards me, he just obeyed the emperor's order, and he and I are far from the point of life and death calculations."

Speaking of this, Li Jinzhi told Mei Xue about the Yan family's affairs in detail, and finally looked at Mei Xue and said with a smile:
"So, the matter of the Yan family has always been in the plan of Mr. Song and I.

After arriving in Beijing, if Miss Mei is inconvenient, she can not show up. My plan with Mr. Song will not be affected, but the time will be slightly delayed. "

Forming a party for personal gain, disregarding human life, and wantonly embezzling from military pay, no matter which one is enough, it is enough to overthrow the entire Yan family.

But Mei Xue still shook her head, looked at the flickering candles in the corner and said coldly:
"Thank you son for your kindness, but I still want to solve the problem myself.

Because not only my father and brother, but also Mrs. Mei and her children, as well as the hundreds of people in the Mei family in Qiantang, their dead souls also need an explanation. "

For the first time in ten years, Mei Xue spoke out what was in her heart.

The pain and hatred that had been suppressed in Mei Xue's heart for a long time, or Qiao Anyi's heart, broke out at this moment, making her want to cry a lot.

After all, she still inherited many things from Qiao Anyi, her memories, her pain and fear, accumulated in Mei Xue's body for several years.

Nowhere to tell, can't tell.

But Mei Xue didn't want to lose her composure in front of Li Jinzhi, she clenched her fists quietly, her nails almost sank into the flesh of her palm.

Turning around with difficulty and leaving, Mei Xue walked quickly.

But her suddenly pale face still fell into Li Jinzhi's eyes.

He hurriedly got up and chased outside without putting on his shoes.

But Mei Xue had already entered the west wing, and the door was quickly closed, so Li Jinzhi had to stop at the door of the main room.

The moonlight on the early summer night still carried the gentleness of spring. Li Jinzhi stood for a while, watching the lights in the west wing come on and off, before he walked slowly back to the bedroom.

The days since then have calmed down, as calm as if the danger of that night had never happened.

Shen Qingyang was recovering from his injuries, Mei Xue never visited him again, only Xiao Yan would go there sometimes, and would tell Mei Xue some news when he came back.

For example, the trauma on Shen Qingyang's back has healed a lot, and he can lie down and sleep normally.

Another example is that Shen Qingyang has lost his nerve again, and has ordered the sergeants to prepare for departure.

There was no major damage to the several ships of the Wangfu, but a lot of items were damaged and needed to be replenished in advance.

Xiao Yan was so angry that he couldn't bear it, and said to Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi:
"I've never seen such a stubborn person like him. He obviously wanted him to recover from his injuries for a few more days, but he made it look like we were deliberately delaying the trip."

Mei Xue didn't speak, she sat under the flower stand with her head lowered and continued to read a medical book in her hand.

Li Jinzhi laughed, lightly shook the fan in his hand and said:

"Master Shen was ordered to run a business, and it is inevitable to be impatient. You can make arrangements, and we are also ready to go."

Xiao Yan responded, although annoyed, he still got up to make arrangements.

The day before he was going to leave, there was a temple fair in the town where he lived, and Xiao Yan clamored to go for a stroll, so Li Jinzhi agreed, and even Song Zhijie agreed to go out to watch the excitement.

Mei Xue didn't want to go out at first, but Xiao Yan held up her veiled hat to block the door of the west wing and pestered her, Mei Xue finally followed the door.

Although they were all dressed as ordinary as possible, and even Xiao Yan wore a plain light blue robe which was rare, but the appearance of Li Jin and his companions still attracted the attention of many people in the small town.

Mei Xue walked among a group of people and arrived at the center of the town. When they saw the lively performance on the stage, the group stopped to watch.

Inside the hood, Mei Xue had a slight smile on her face.

Living in Taiping Town in those years, every temple fair was so lively.

Opposite the stage was a medical clinic, the shopkeeper, the assistants and the sitting doctor all stood at the entrance of the medical clinic with their arms sleeved to watch the play.

Suddenly, a group of people ran over noisily. The man in the front was holding a child in his arms, and the women who followed were crying and screaming.

Xiao Yan likes to watch the excitement the most, so he put the fan in his belt and ran to the medical clinic.

Mei Xue turned a blind eye to Xiao Yan's childishness, while Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie looked at each other and smiled, Song Zhijie said leisurely:

"The heart of a child is especially rare."

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the medical hall. When Xiao Yan squeezed out again, the clothes on his body were already squeezed out of shape.

He also didn't care about tidying up, and quickly ran to Mei Xue's side and said:

"Miss Mei, go and have a look. A child has swallowed the fishhook down his throat, and now he can't get it out."

Mei Xue didn't speak, and walked towards the medical clinic.

Xiao Yan hurriedly rushed in front of her, yelling loudly to make the crowd disperse to make way for Mei Xue.

Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie also followed behind Mei Xue, Gao Yuan and other guards dressed as ordinary people also followed.

A middle-aged man was sitting on the ground with a boy in his arms, surrounded by several crying women.

The boy was crying so hard that the doctor and shopkeeper of the hospital took turns to pull the fishing line and try to pull the hook out of the child's mouth.

Mei Xue frowned, walked up quickly to stop them and said:
"If the hook is stuck in the throat with the mouth facing down, it will naturally be pulled out with a single pull. In this case, the hook must be stuck in the throat with the mouth facing up.

If you pull and pull repeatedly like this, it will only make the wound bigger and bigger, and if you injure the trachea, it will be life-threatening. "

The shopkeeper and the doctor hurriedly let go, and everyone was frowning for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Mei Xue took off the hood and handed it to Xiao Yan, then knelt down and touched the child's head and said softly:
"Hey, if you don't cry, let me take a closer look, I promise I can help you take out the hook soon, and it won't hurt at all, okay?"

The child could not make a sound, but still lowered the volume of crying.

Mei Xue laughed, touched his head and said:
"What a good boy, I'll just take a look, soon."

While talking, Mei Xue gently held the exposed fishing line with her hands, and after carefully looking at the child's throat, she smiled, turned her head and said to Gao Yuan:

"I saw a peddler selling sugar strings by the stage just now, go and buy some."

Gao Yuan froze, then ran out like flying.

Everyone present looked at each other in amazement, only Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie stood aside smiling and saying nothing.

Xiao Yan couldn't guess what Mei Xue was going to do, but this aroused his interest even more, he hurriedly walked over and squatted down next to Mei Xue, for fear of not looking carefully.
