Chapter 30
After a night of wind and rain, the flowers are almost gone, and the white osmanthus petals on the ground are densely covered.

The woman in green clothes and green shoes was a little pale, with a faint bruise under her eyes, but her expression was as cold as usual, and she stood in the middle of the path and looked at him.

Shen Qingyang only felt that his heart was blocked in one breath, and he couldn't help but sneered and sarcastically said:

"I heard that Miss Mei waited at the gate of the palace until midnight last night, but now she still has the spirit to stay here. It's really admirable!"

Facing Shen Qingyang's irony, Mei Xue was indifferent, looked at him coldly and said:

"What I do has nothing to do with Mr. Shen. What you think of me is even more irrelevant to me.

Come on, what are you doing here? "

Shen Qingyang became even more annoyed, took two steps closer, stared at Mei Xue's eyes and said:

"Since when did you become the owner of the Shu Palace? Whether I can come to the Palace depends on your consent?"

Mei Xue had no intention of giving in at all, she still looked at Shen Qingyang coldly and said:

"I'm just a female doctor in the palace, but the prince is my patient, and he needs to rest now.

If your business is so important that if you don't see him today, his life will be endangered, then I will let you in now.Otherwise, you can come back another day, or at least wait until after today's Xu hour. "

Shen Qingyang laughed out of anger, and said:
"Okay, then I won't look for Li Jinzhi, I just ask you, when are you going to see Nanny Mei?"

Mei Xue turned her head and glanced at the main room. Peng Liang was guarding the door, staring at Shen Qingyang warily.

Neither Song Zhijie nor Guanshi Liang could stop Shen Qingyang from entering the mansion.Peng Liang had already made up his mind, if Mei Xue couldn't drive Shen Qingyang away, he would fight this guy again today.

Sighing slightly in her heart, Mei Xue calmed down and said to Shen Qingyang:
"The eldest son has been in Sichuan for many years, and when he suddenly returns to Beijing, it is easy to be uncomfortable, not to mention his poor health.

So, I have to wait for a few more days, when Shizi is in better health, and I have to wait for an unobtrusive time to go out. "

A trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in Shen Qingyang's eyes, a person who was as cold as her and as proud as her, now for Li Jinzhi, was willing to explain to him.

And he, in order to meet her, has been busy all day and night preparing, how can he be so ridiculous?

The two of them stared at each other for quite a while, Mei Xue still had no intention of giving in, Shen Qingyang turned around and walked out silently.

Mei Xue stood for a while with downcast eyes, then turned and returned to the wing room.

Before dark, there were several waves of people who came to visit Li Jinzhi one after another, several princes and sons in Beijing, some old relatives and friends from the Shu Palace, but they were all pushed away by Song Zhijie and Liang Guanshi.

Li Jinzhi was able to sleep peacefully until dusk.

Seeing that Li Jinzhi's complexion improved obviously, and he drank half a bowl of herbal food, both Peng Liang and Gao Yuan were beaming with joy.

Song Zhijie came in to talk to Li Jinzhi, and Mei Xue got up to leave.

Li Jinzhi stopped her and said:

"In the future, when Mr. Song comes to talk, Miss Mei doesn't have to avoid suspicion."

Song Zhijie also got up and raised his hand to ask Mei Xue to sit down.

Mei Xue was silent, and finally sat down in the round chair next to Song Zhijie.

Li Jinzhi first asked Song Zhijie about manning Mei Gang, Song Zhijie smiled and said:
"This matter has been arranged this afternoon. Qin Li and Sun Qiang are very skilled and familiar with everything in Beijing. I have already let them meet Mei Gang, and I will let them help Miss Mei with things in the future."

Only then did Mei Xue realize that Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie had already planned for this, so she stood up and thanked them.

With these people, it will be much more convenient for her to do things in the future, and she doesn't need to bother Li Jinzhi with everything.

After sitting down again, Li Jinzhi talked about kneeling outside the imperial study room yesterday:
"It is said that Brother Huang's rudeness in front of the imperial court angered Uncle Huang, but I always feel that it is not like it. Looking at Brother Huang's face, it is quite sad."

Song Zhijie slowly shook his fan and said with a smile:

"His Royal Highness has assisted His Majesty in handling political affairs for many years, and the imperial study and the cabinet often go, how could he be rude in front of the imperial court?

I have already asked Peng Liang and Gao Yuan. Peng Liang said that several adults from the Ministry of Industry left the palace late at night yesterday. I suspect there is something strange about it. "

In recent years, Emperor Mingde was keen on large-scale construction projects. Not only did he build new palaces, but he even rebuilt the palace outside Luoyang City, which was extremely extravagant.

The prince Li Jinyu had persuaded him many times, and those ministers in the court who supported the prince also wrote letters one after another.

Even in order to curb Emperor Mingde's extravagance, these ministers simply united to impeach the people from the Ministry of Industry.

Those people in the Ministry of Industry were in a dilemma, and Emperor Mingde felt even more embarrassed.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to blame the prince.

Mei Xue didn't understand what was going on, so naturally she couldn't comment.She thought for a while and said:

"When the prince just left the palace last night, there was a slight smell of magnolia fragrance on his clothes. I would like to ask the prince to recall, where did you come into contact with incense?"

Song Zhijie frowned and asked Mei Xue what was wrong.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes, thought for a while before saying:

"Doctors often use magnolia fragrance to relieve dryness and heat, but in fact it has a special effect that is not well known."

Mei Xue raised her head at this point, looked at Li Jinzhi and said slowly:

"It can effectively alleviate the discomfort caused by the elixir, so that the side effects of consuming the elixir will not be exposed so quickly."

The smiles on the faces of Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie gradually disappeared.

The crown prince's status is precious, if it's just a disgrace in front of the imperial court, how could Emperor Mingde not give the crown prince face?

But if Emperor Mingde was unwell and emotionally irritable, it seemed much more reasonable to do such a thing.

And there is a reasonable explanation for Prince Li Jinyu's sad expression when he was punished.

All three were silent for a long time, Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie looked at Mei Xue at the same time.

After a long time, Li Jinzhi smiled lightly and said:

"The emperor's grandmother was ill, and there was no incense in the bedroom, and I spent most of yesterday in the Zhaoyang Palace of the emperor's uncle."

Song Zhijie also smiled and said:
"Your Majesty is nearly fifty years old, and has always been diligent in politics, but this spring unexpectedly added a large number of beautiful women to the palace. For this reason, the imperial censors have all complained."

The three of them looked at each other and said nothing.

Only when Mei Xue and Song Zhijie left together, Li Jinzhi asked Mei Xue for her opinion with a smile:

"Miss Mei, I will definitely enter the palace in a few days, I wonder if you will be willing to accompany me there?"

Mei Xue and Song Zhijie naturally understood what Li Jinzhi meant, Mei Xue nodded, and Song Zhijie said:

"Since that's the case, I'm going to make preparations."

You are not allowed to enter the palace without summons, even if Li Jinzhi wants to bring someone into the harem, he must ask the empress in advance.

Mei Gang waited outside the yard, and he greeted Song Zhijie, and when Song Zhijie left, Mei Xue said to him:

"Uncle Mei, I'm going back to rest now. Tomorrow morning, bring Qin Li and the others to meet me in the flower hall."

Mei Gang hurriedly responded, and when Mei Xue's figure disappeared at the second door, he still stood there without moving.

He was sure that Mei Xue was the cousin Qiao Anyi, even if Mei Xue refused to admit it, he would always treat her as his master and be loyal to her forever.

Mei Gang firmly believes that Mei Xue can avenge the Mei family and Mrs. Mei's mother and son.

When Mei Xue returned to the bamboo garden, Jiu'er greeted her and entered the door, and Yu Rong hurriedly waited on Mei Xue to wash and change her clothes.

When Mei Xue packed up and was about to rest, Jiu'er came into the bedroom holding a box and said:

"Girl, the prince just asked Gao Yuan to send it over, saying that the girl will employ people in the future, and some expenses cannot be saved, so I will use these rights first."

Mei Xue signaled Jiu'er to open the box, which was full, with hundred taels of silver bills at the bottom, and some small denomination silver bills and two layers of silver ingots on top.

Mei Xue pursed her lips, and told Jiu'er to count out half of the bank notes and silver ingots and put them away, saying that she would need them tomorrow morning.
