Chapter 57

The winter days are short, and after returning to the palace after offering sacrifices to Mrs. Mei, the lanterns everywhere are already lit.

Shen Qingyang was waiting in Li Jinzhi's yard with Song Zhijie.

Seeing Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue enter the door together, Shen Qingyang didn't speak, and lowered his eyes, picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank slowly.

Song Zhijie smiled and said:
"Things are going well. The girl from the Yan family has already boarded the boat bound for Shu, and has arranged for two attendants to take care of her. Miss Mei, please rest assured."

Mei Xue thanked Song Zhijie, and sat down with Li Jinzhi.

Shen Qingyang still had no expression on his face, he put the cup in his hand on the table and said in a cold voice:
"Kun Ning Palace has already started to reduce the food for the little grandson. Some time ago, he was feeding three or four times a day, but these days he only feeds him once a day."

Mei Xue's heart suddenly tightened, and the hand holding the teacup shook violently.

Children in this month should be fed at least two hours during the day, except at night.

How many days can this little life last if we only feed the child once a day?
Li Jinzhi frowned slightly, and said to Shen Qingyang:
"When does Lord Shen plan to bring Mingze out? I have arranged guards here and are ready to meet him at any time.

After the matter is completed, I will go to His Majesty to plead guilty. "

Shen Qingyang sneered, turned his face to look outside the door and said:

"I, Shen Qingyang, dare to do it. You don't need to worry about it. You just need to take good care of the children."

After speaking, Shen Qingyang stood up:

"At the end of tomorrow night, just send someone to wait for me at the agreed place."

His subordinates are all officials, and behind each of them there is a family, he can't take them to risk.

As for who is in Li Jinzhi's hands, he can probably guess some of them.

To be able to counterattack the inner guard to retreat in embarrassment must be the best of the best.

After Shen Qingyang finished speaking, he got up and left, his tall figure was quickly submerged in the wind and snow.

Mei Xue stood up and said to Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie:
"Then I'll go back first. The things prepared for the little emperor's grandson can be arranged now."

Both Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie nodded, watching Mei Xue return to the inner courtyard in the warm sedan chair.

Nanny Mei had already been served, had dinner, and went to bed. After cleaning her hands, Mei Xue fed Ping An, and asked Yu Rong to take him to the wing to rest.

Jiu'er stayed and had dinner with Mei Xue, and then the two of them cleaned up the residence of the little emperor's grandson Li Mingze.

Seeing that Meixue wanted to arrange the child in the warm pavilion in her own bedroom, Jiu'er hesitated and said:
"Girl, the child who is a few months old is just crying, will living here affect your rest?"

Mei Xue paused for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile.

If Li Mingze could still cry now, she would feel relieved.

But after starving the child for so many days, Mei Xue didn't even dare to imagine his possible current situation.

The two nannies who had been feeding Ping An were very honest and volunteered to breastfeed the little emperor's grandson at the same time, so Mei Xue agreed and let them both receive double monthly payments.

After tomorrow night, news of the emperor's grandson's death will definitely be released in the palace. Li Mingze's appearance at the Shu Palace at that time was naturally as low-key as possible.

So at this time, it is not suitable for Shu Palace to go outside to find a new nanny.

In the outer courtyard, Song Zhijie asked Li Jinzhi:

"My son, when the emperor's grandson arrives in the mansion, when do you plan to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

As long as Li Mingze was taken out of the palace by Shen Qingyang, Emperor Mingde and the others would definitely know that he was sent to the Shu Palace.

But with Shen Qingyang's personality, he would never admit it anyway.

Because only in this way can we give Emperor Mingde, his wife and the prince a step up, and let them throw away the burden of Li Mingze with peace of mind.

Only in this way can Li Jinzhi not be criticized publicly.

As for Li Mingze's identity in the future, it depends on the attitude of Prince Li Jinyu.

Li Jinzhi shook his head lightly and said:
"If the emperor is willing, there will be a day when he comes to recognize Mingze. If he doesn't take the initiative to come, Mingze will be my child in the future, and I will be responsible for everything."

Li Jinzhi said that it was tantamount to rejecting Song Zhijie's suggestion.

Song Zhijie actually knew that Li Jinzhi was a little angry, but his usual restraint kept him from showing it.

Why didn't Song Zhijie himself slander him in his heart?
Although Empress Shen is strong, she is only preventing the Empress Dowager Jing'an and the Crown Princess from seeing the emperor's grandson. As the crown prince, if Li Jinyu is willing to take care of himself, wouldn't he not know what happened to his son these days?
Even Shen Qingyang knew it clearly.

In the evening of the second day, a blizzard came suddenly.Li Jinzhi arrived at Zhuyuan after dinner, and waited for Li Mingze's arrival with Mei Xue.

What Shen Qingyang said would definitely be fulfilled, they never doubted his ability, let alone his character.

Mei Xue was writing a manuscript, and Li Jinzhi took the treatment plan she had written about Li Mingze to read, and said after a while:

"This time, Master Shen will definitely be punished no matter whether he succeeds or not. He cooperated with me. This is something Uncle Huang doesn't want to see."

Mei Xue looked up, looked at Li Jinzhi and nodded.

Shen Qingyang was notorious, but who cared about his psychological and physical scars?

Less than two quarters of an hour after midnight, a group of men in black escorted Mei Gang into the side door of the palace. The moment the door closed, the men in black disappeared completely in an instant.

The heavy snow fell, and the footprints on the ground soon disappeared.

Outside the palace city, Shen Qingyang, who returned voluntarily, was caught without a fight, with a cold smile on his face.

She took Li Mingze into her arms, and with just one glance, Mei Xue's eyes turned red.

The white, fat, pink child had become so thin that his face was wrinkled, and even his lips were pale.

Children with cerebral palsy are less likely to control their emotions and cry more than ordinary children.

But at this moment, Li Mingze, who had been bumped for a long time, was neither crying nor fussing. He probably didn't have the strength to cry anymore.

Li Jinzhi went outside to wait, and the nanny hurried into the Nuan Pavilion to nurse Li Mingze.

Seeing the baby greedily and continuously sucking, the nanny who has always been reticent also shed tears and asked Mei Xue:

"Girl, whose child is this, why is he so hungry?"

Mei Xue was speechless, and turned her face away with red eyes.

He is the grandson of the most honorable man in the world, and his father is the future Great Jin Emperor.

But he was almost starved to death, and his future was doomed to be extremely difficult.

But Li Mingze was only allowed to eat milk for fifteen minutes, Mei Xue refused to let him eat, and said to the nurse:

"The child has been hungry for too long. If he is fed suddenly, it will hurt his stomach. You should go to rest first and feed him after an hour."

The nanny responded and went out. Li Mingze, who had gained strength, burst into tears because he was not full.

Li Jinzhi hurried into the Nuan Pavilion, and together with Mei Xue comforted Li Mingze.

The two took turns holding and shaking the baby, and insisted on feeding the baby again an hour later.

Li Mingze finally stopped crying and fell asleep after tossing and tossing until the sky was bright.

Outside Zhaoyang Hall, the stone lamp was almost completely buried by thick snow, but no one dared to clean it.

Shen Qingyang had been kneeling in the middle of the night, half of his body was almost covered by white snow.

The servants in the corridor watched from a distance, not even daring to take a breath.

The emperor's grandson passed away last night, and the empress was heartbroken, but Lord Shen broke into the Kunning Palace at night, and even severely injured several nuns who took care of the emperor's grandson. Isn't this adding fuel to the flames?
Emperor Mingde hadn't recovered from his last illness, and his face was no longer as rosy as before.

Empress Shen personally waited for Emperor Mingde to dress up before saying:

"Your Majesty, Qing Yang is a straightforward person. Although he should be punished this time, it is because of..."

The couple looked at each other and fell silent.

They thought that Shen Qingyang might interfere in the matter of the emperor's grandson, but they didn't expect that Li Jinzhi would also be involved.

Could it be that medical girl Mei Xue's idea?

What exactly is she planning?
"There are no palace rules, a fine of one year's salary, and a hundred court rods."

After Emperor Mingde finished speaking, he looked at Empress Shen and said:
"Your brother just made another report, saying that after he returned to Beijing, someone destroyed Qiu's tomb. Your brother asked me to punish him severely."

Qiu Shi is the singer that Uncle Shen Guo once brought into the mansion.

Empress Shen pursed her lips, knelt down to apologize to Emperor Mingde and said:

"It's all the concubine's family affairs, but His Majesty is too tired to worry about it. The concubine is guilty."

Emperor Mingde glanced at her, and instead of asking her to get up immediately like in the past, he turned around and walked towards the side door.

Liu Zhaoyi waited respectfully at the side door, and when she saw Emperor Mingde coming, she bowed to Empress Shen from a distance, and then walked away with Tingting supported on Emperor Mingde's arm.

Empress Shen's face darkened instantly, and she winked at Aunt He who was waiting at the door.

Liu Zhaoyi was not outstanding at first, she was in her 30s and only gave birth to a princess.

But in the past few days, Emperor Mingde has been running towards her palace for some reason.

Aunt He understood and immediately went out to investigate.
