she has golden eyes

Chapter 40 Cloudy
Empress Shen and Emperor Mingde sat side by side, and Shen Qingyang and Li Jinyu stood behind them.

According to Mei Xue's request, Aunt Qiu led the people to prepare a set of utensils, and then sent out all the palace people in the house. She also retreated to the door and stood beside An Jiang.

The Empress Dowager had just drank Mafeisan and was still awake, so she called Emperor Ming De to the bedside and told:
"Even if the result is bad, don't make things difficult for Mei Xue, just send her back to the palace and let her take care of Jinzhi's body."

Emperor Mingde glanced at Mei Xue who was silent at the side, nodded and said to Empress Dowager Jing'an:
"Queen mother, don't worry, my son will remember everything."

Empress Dowager Jing'an sighed, leaned on the soft pillow and slowly closed her eyes.

While waiting for the Empress Dowager Jing'an to fall asleep, Mei Xue still didn't say a word, and didn't look at Emperor Ming De and the others, and only made her own preparations slowly and orderly.

After washing the thin silver needle in boiling wine repeatedly, Mei Xue held the silver needle in her right hand and gently pressed the Fengchi acupoint of the Empress Dowager with her left hand. Seeing that the Empress Dowager had no response, she turned her face to look at Emperor Mingde And Queen Shen said:

"Your Majesty, empress, Minnv is about to start, it will take about a quarter of an hour, please don't let anyone disturb Minnv."

Emperor Mingde didn't speak, Empress Shen nodded, and said softly:

"I understand, you can start!"

Mei Xue nodded, turned around and knelt down on the brocade cushion beside the bed, and inserted the silver needle in her hand into the nostrils of Empress Dowager Jing'an.

Li Jinyu quietly looked at the hourglass in the corner of the room. Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, Mei Xue stopped, put the silver needle in her hand on the plate, and wrapped the white cotton tape she had prepared around the Queen Mother's head. A few loops were tied to completely cover her eyes.

Seeing Mei Xue began to wash her hands, Empress Shen was a little surprised, and asked her in a gentle voice:
"Is this the end?"

Mei Xue nodded, took a cloth towel to dry off the water on her hands, then saluted Emperor Mingde and Empress Shen and said:
"It's over. After three days, the cotton cloth will be removed, and the queen mother will be able to see. After about seven days, her eyesight will return to its best condition."

Emperor Mingde stood up and said to Empress Shen:
"You and Jinyu are here to guard, and I have to go to see some old ministers in the cabinet."

Empress Shen and Li Jinyu both stood up to see Emperor Mingde off, and Shen Qingyang followed suit.

When Emperor Mingde walked to the door, he stopped suddenly, looked back at Mei Xue and said:
"You stay here, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the Compassion Palace."

"Yes, Minnv understands."

After Mei Xue finished answering calmly, she lowered her eyebrows and stood beside the Empress Dowager Jing'an's bed.

As soon as Emperor Ming De went out, Shen Qingyang walked over and moved the brocade stool in front of the bed to Mei Xue's feet and said:
"Are you good at standing? Don't you know how to sit and wait?"

Mei Xue glanced at him, said "Thank you Master Shen" lightly, and sat down with her head bowed.

Empress Shen twitched the corner of her mouth twice and said nothing, Li Jinyu turned her face away, with a smile that could hardly be hidden in her eyes.

He has known Shen Qingyang for many years, and he has never seen him care about any girl.

An Jiang had already left with Emperor Mingde, Aunt Qiu who was standing at the door looked at Shen Qingyang and Mei Xue who was silent, and sighed in her heart.

This is the girl whom the prince of Shu puts on top of his heart, but now it seems that even the empress's nephew is also thinking about it!
Empress Dowager Jing'an woke up shortly after noon, and she was not worried about her own situation. She only asked Empress Shen to go back to the palace to rest and eat, and asked Li Jinyu to go back to the East Palace to take care of the princess.

Only Shen Qingyang remained in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Aunt Qiu led someone to bring in the food, and Mei Xue ate it with Queen Mother Jing'an.

After cleaning her hands after the meal, Mei Xue talked to the Empress Dowager Jing'an while gently pressing her legs.

Empress Dowager Jing'an groped for Mei Xue's hand and said:
"Good boy, you don't have to worry, no matter what the result is, Aijia will not let you have trouble."

Mei Xue responded softly, looking at the white hair of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, she felt only bursts of soreness in her heart.

She didn't know how Li Jinzhi and Queen Mother Jing'an restrained themselves so that they could be so indifferent when facing each other.

Mei Xue thought of her mother again, if she could still see her, she would definitely not be like Li Jinzhi.

This is probably the way of survival that children born in the royal family have learned since childhood.

Empress Dowager Jing'an asked the Prince of Shu and his wife, Li Jinhuan and Li Jinfeng carefully, and said with a sigh:

"These years have not been easy for the princess. Back then, for Jinzhi, her aunt asked to come to Ai's house.

Firstly, Ai's family loves her grandson, but secondly, she also likes her character, and believes that even if she has a biological son in the future, she will not treat Jinzhi badly.

But the population of the Xiao family is simple, and the concubine is a concubine. How can she have a better life for the side concubine Shanglin? "

Mei Xue thought of the haggard and exhausted Concubine Shu and the charming and enchanting Concubine Lin when they first met, and felt sad.

In fact, from the day Princess Shu insisted on marrying into the palace, many tragedies have already begun.

Except for occasionally going to the side hall for dinner, Shen Qingyang has been guarding the Empress Dowager Jing'an's place like a door god.

At night, Mei Xue slept with the Empress Dowager Jing'an on the soft bed, while Shen Qingyang sat in the chair on the porch and squinted for a while.

Aunt Qiu sighed, but there was nothing she could do.

Emperor Mingde heard the report, and when he came to visit the Empress Dowager in the Compassionate Ning Palace the next day, he kicked him and said:

"What are you doing in the inner palace as a foreigner? Get the hell out of here and go back to Habayashi Guard before dark."

Shen Qingyang did not hide, and replied with a dull face:

"Your Majesty said that Nachen was treated like a son, so that minister is not considered a foreigner."

An Jiang couldn't help laughing, his eyes narrowed into a slit on his white and chubby face.

Emperor Mingde stared angrily, kicked Shen Qingyang again and said:

"Go away!"

Shen Qingyang obediently stood aside, but he didn't intend to leave at all.

Mei Xue listened inside, thinking of Li Jinyu's respect when he met Emperor Mingde, she felt that Shen Qingyang was more like Emperor Mingde's son.

The queen mother also sighed when she heard it, and when Emperor Mingde came to greet him, she said to him:

"Qing Yang is a solid boy, he is a good and filial boy, let him stay here!"

Emperor Mingde agreed, sat down and said a few words to the Queen Mother, before leaving, he glanced at Mei Xue and said:

"Just now in the early court, Mr. Yan Ge wrote a letter, saying that his daughter and son-in-law miss her very much and have fallen ill. He hopes to test the relatives with blood. If you are really not the lost daughter of the Qiao family, it will not only resolve the disputes and rumors, but also make Qiao Yan's family happy. Since then, I have given up my mind and tried to redeem the lost children as soon as possible.”

Mei Xue sneered in her heart, but she was very calm, she immediately saluted and replied:

"Minnv is willing to cooperate, and I am also grateful for the love of Mrs. Qiao and his wife."

It should be Aunt Qiu's disappearance that made the Yan family aware of the imminent threat. If it can be proved that Mei Xue is Qiao Anyi, then after bringing her back to Qiao's house, everything will be back under their control.

At least, holding her in his hands, Li Jinzhi had to bind his hands and feet.

And she, as the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, can she disregard her biological father for the sake of her grandfather's family?
But at this moment, Qiao Yan's family was in disarray.

And wait slowly!
Emperor Ming De stared at Mei Xue, seeing her calm face from beginning to end, he also turned and left.

Empress Dowager Jing'an sneered and said:

"On weekdays, the old lady of the Yan family and her daughter are people who know how to advance and retreat. Why are they so confused now?"

It was inconvenient for Mei Xue to comment, so she lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

Shen Qingyang stood at the door, gritted his teeth coldly and smiled.

Mei Xue is still in the Compassionate Ning Palace, but the news that Mr. Yan Ge wrote a letter asking for blood to recognize her relatives has already spread inside and outside the court.

The Shu Palace was still peaceful inside and outside, Li Jinzhi smiled and said to Song Zhijie:

"Since Miss Mei agrees, there will be no problem. I trust her."

Song Zhijie nodded with a smile, waved the fan in his hand and said nothing.

The dog jumping over the wall in a hurry often indicates that the farce is coming to an end.

Regarding the Yan family, he and Li Jinzhi had already made all the preparations and were just waiting for Mei Xue to leave the palace.

Xiao Yan was so angry that he jumped, and he refused to heed Li Jinzhi's dissuasion, and rushed straight to the Imperial College to trouble Qiao Zhuowen.

Qiao Zhuowen had adjusted his mentality early, and sat in the classroom studying calmly, ignoring the strange eyes around him.

Xiao Yan led several of his friends, regardless of whether the professor was still there, rushed in and lifted Qiao Zhuowen's table, pointed at him and cursed:
"Shameless straight mother thief, I will make it clear to you today, on the day of the blood test, Miss Ruomei is not from your Qiao family, I will be the first to break your dog's leg."

Everyone in the Imperial College knew it well, and they all watched Qiao Zhuowen's reaction in silence.

Qiao Zhuowen still smiled reservedly, brushed off the ink stains on the front of his shirt, and sat down again without saying a word.

Not only is Mei Xue the eyeball of the prince of Shu, but now she is protected by the Empress Dowager Jing'an, so she is no longer someone they can meet casually.

He and his grandfathers and uncles have made many plans together. If they are not fully prepared and confident enough, how dare they use the method of writing a letter in the early court to force Mei Xue?

Not to mention that her parents believed that Mei Xue was Qiao Anyi, even if she wasn't, this recognition would definitely make her the daughter of the Qiao family who had been lost for many years.

Just bring her home and everything is back under control.
