she has golden eyes

Chapter 49 Poisoning
In Luoyang City, when the wives who were high enough to enter the palace were preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the phoenix of Princess Chenyang finally arrived in the capital.

Li Jinzhi went to greet her early, and Mei Xue stayed in the bamboo garden to accompany Ping An and Madam Mei.

Song Zhijie sent someone to the backyard to invite her in the afternoon.

Li Jinzhi had already returned, his expression was normal, and he was still smiling gently.

After the three sat down, Song Zhijie waved his fan and said with a smile:

"Finally, we have confirmed news that those villagers who survived by chance are on their way to Beijing, and they brought along with them physical evidence.

The news was tightly covered, and the escorts were all capable, so Shizi and Miss Mei can rest assured. "

Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue were naturally relieved of Song Zhijie's work.

Song Zhijie sighed again:

"These people have suffered a lot, eating and sleeping in the open, hiding in the Gobi desert like savages for several years."

Mei Xue was silent. She thought of Mrs. Mei, the Mei family in Qiantang, and her father, brothers and sisters who died tragically by the Jinsha River.

It can be said that countless people died in the hands of the Yan family, the Qiao family and the Tie family during the decades when Yan Yun was talented and prosperous.

What is the crime of these dead people?
Li Jinzhi sent Mei Xue back to the bamboo garden, hesitated for a while before saying to her:
"Aunt Chenyang's illness is probably not as mild as she said in the letter."

Mei Xue looked at him and signaled him to continue with her eyes.

Li Jinzhi stopped in his tracks, lowered his head and stroked the handle of the fan in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Although she wears heavy makeup, my aunt's complexion is still abnormal, and I found that she seems to be in pain when she walks, but she is just holding on."

Li Jinzhi frowned slightly as he spoke, the worry in his heart was obvious.

Mei Xue comforted him softly:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, the princess's current situation, at least, is not in danger of her life.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager also said that she would let me see the princess, and I will definitely do my best when the time comes. "

Li Jinzhi smiled again and nodded.

At night, Tsing Yi Lane, Qiao's house.

The beauty under the lamp is as delicate as jade, she loosens her clothes lightly, her toes are exposed as tender as green onions, and her nails are as moist as clouds.

The bathroom was full of fragrance, Yan Shi lightly rubbed Qiao Anran's hair, and whispered to her:
"Your grandmother and I won't be able to enter the palace this time, but Mrs. Kong finally agreed to help. You go in with her mother. Be careful yourself. Among the people who will enter the palace tomorrow, there are not a few who know you."

Mrs. Kong's husband's surname is Zhao. Although he is only a master register of the Guozijian, it is said that Mrs. Kong's father and the No. 60 grandson of the saint are brothers of the same clan.

Now the Kong family living in the capital is only from Mrs. Kong's natal family, so every new year, his father and mother will be invited into the palace to show the royal grace.

Kong and Zhao both regarded themselves as Qingliu, and although they had a large number of clansmen, they were not engaged in production.It is ashamed to talk about yellow and white things, but it is necessary to maintain a decent life.

Since Qiao Zhuowen entered the Imperial College, Yan's mother and daughter have given money and gifts to Mrs. Kong over the past few years.

Qiao Anran responded lightly, not wanting to talk about this topic, but closed her eyes and told Yan Shi:

"Mother, after my work is done, you must send that letter to Meng Ziyi, it will be useful in the future."

The Marquis of Wu'an is a solid backer, and Meng Ziyi is infatuated with her, how can he let her go so easily?

Yan's hand paused, but he responded immediately.

Qiao Juncheng is still in the cell of Habayashi Wei, and his son is basically in charge of the family affairs.

The matter of continuing to use Meng Ziyi was decided by the son, and the daughter also agreed, so the Yan family would naturally not object.

Early the next morning after Princess Chenyang arrived in Beijing, Empress Dowager Jing'an sent someone to the palace to invite Mei Xue, and Li Jinzhi accompanied her into the palace.

Empress Dowager Jing'an's complexion was very bad, and Mei Xue knew why the first time she saw Princess Chenyang.

As the Empress Dowager's youngest daughter, Princess Chenyang, who is just 40 years old, has a very swollen figure. Even with thick makeup, it is difficult to hide the tiny cracks on her skin.

This is an obvious phenomenon of hormone poisoning, but in this era, there is no technology for drug purification. To reach such a serious situation, it must be the result of years of accumulation.

At least ten years or more.

Seeing Mei Xue staring at her, Princess Chenyang looked very embarrassed, she closed her eyes and turned her face away.

Empress Dowager Jing'an persuaded her in a low voice:
"Mei Xue is a reliable kid, so you don't have to worry about bad words getting out."

In front of her daughter, the Empress Dowager Jing'an is just like the mothers of ordinary people, her eyes are full of unconcealable sadness and love.

Mei Xue asked Li Jinzhi and others to wait outside. When only she and the queen mother and daughter were left in the room, she said softly to Princess Chenyang:

"Your Highness, please take off all your clothes, I want to examine your body carefully."

Princess Chenyang trembled violently, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, she choked up and said:
"No need, Ben Gong is fine, you..."

"Chenyang, don't be afraid, no matter what happens, the queen mother and your brother will make decisions for you."

Empress Dowager Jing'an grabbed Princess Chenyang's arm, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably.

Princess Chenyang finally nodded and untied her clothes with tears in her eyes.

The skin is white and yellowish, with obvious white streaks and marks, which are very similar to stretch marks.

There are dense cracks everywhere on the bloated abdomen and limbs, especially at the joints of the limbs. Some cracks are so big that the red muscles inside can be seen.

How painful this must be!
Empress Dowager Jing'an was so heartbroken that she cried aloud. Princess Chenyang buried her face in her arms, crying and saying:
"Queen, I thought that I could see you and brother Huang again before I died, and I would be satisfied in this life."

Mei Xue silently pulled the brocade quilt to cover Princess Chenyang, and when she and Queen Mother Jing'an calmed down, Mei Xue said softly:
"Your Highness, don't be too pessimistic. Although this disease is difficult to treat, as long as you find out what the drug is and detoxify it, your condition will be fundamentally improved in about a year."

Princess Chenyang only shook her head, said with a wry smile:
"It's been more than ten years, and I've tried everything, but nothing works."

Mei Xue shook her head again, and said seriously:

"To cause His Highness to have such severe symptoms, this kind of poison must have been eaten or used by you in your daily life, such as balm, bath items, etc., or even the rice bowls, tea cups, bath bedding, etc. you use. If you search among these items, you will definitely be able to find clues.

As long as the virus-causing substance can be detected, Weichen is sure that he can cure the princess' illness. "

Empress Dowager Jing'an believed in Mei Xue, and immediately ordered her to go to the side hall to check Princess Chenyang's luggage, and ordered Aunt Qiu to invite Emperor Mingde.

Li Jinzhi went to the side hall with Mei Xue, and the female officials guarding there were all those who served Princess Chenyang personally, and after receiving orders, they all retreated outside the door, allowing Mei Xue to inspect freely.

Mei Xue was busy for more than an hour, but she shook her head at Li Jinzhi in disappointment.

Li Jinzhi nodded in silence, watching Mei Xue wash her hands, he handed her the cotton handkerchief naturally.

Mei Xue wiped her fingers slowly, and said after a long time:
"Now there is only one possibility left. The poisoner is afraid that his evil deeds will be exposed after the princess returns to Beijing, so he has already made preparations in advance."

And who can control and arrange all the clothes of Princess Chenyang?

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi looked at each other, both feeling heavy.

Emperor Mingde was already waiting in the main hall, Princess Chenyang was not there, only Empress Dowager Jing'an was sitting beside her, her expression still very bad.

Mei Xue deliberated and said the guess in her heart. Although she tried her best to be tactful, Emperor Mingde and Empress Dowager Jing'an still changed their expressions.

Empress Dowager Jing'an silently turned her face away, and Emperor Mingde was silent for a long time before gritted his teeth and said with a cold smile:

"very good!"

Empress Dowager Jing'an's own children are Emperor Mingde, King Shu and Princess Chenyang. Emperor Mingde is suspicious of King Shu because of Li Jinzhi, but he loves Princess Chenyang very much.

Probably also want to use this to make up for the debt owed to Queen Mother Jing'an.

Emperor Mingde was obviously extremely angry, he kept pacing around the room with his hands behind his back, his teeth clenched.

You are the emperor, but his only biological sister has been harmed to such a situation, it is really bold, it is really courting death.

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi stood beside the Empress Dowager Jing'an with their heads bowed. It took a long time before they saw Emperor Mingde stop and said in a cold voice:

"Mei Xue, you set off for Qingzhou immediately. You must find out the truth, what kind of poison it is, and who made it. After you find out, report it to me secretly."

After a pause, Emperor Mingde glanced at Li Jinzhi, and continued:
"Let Qing Yang escort you to Qingzhou, and I will arrange people to follow your orders."

Mei Xue agreed without hesitation, and Li Jinzhi's expression was no exception.

Emperor Mingde went out, and Li Jinzhi followed him to see him off. When he reached the door, he said again:
"Tomorrow's palace banquet, you don't have to attend, just tell the public that you are sick, and Mei Xue will stay in the mansion to take care of you."

As for Shen Qingyang, he has been doing errands for Emperor Mingde all year round, no one would care whether he is in the capital or not.
