Chapter 7

Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyang stood behind King Shu, all three of them looked at Mei Xue solemnly.

The gold wire is scalded repeatedly in hot water and hot wine. The white and bright silkworm ice silk is tightly wrapped around the gold wire, and then wrapped in a white cloth and steamed in a steamer. When it is taken out again, the two things have been perfectly mix together.

Mei Xue still had a calm expression on her face, she didn't speak, she lowered her eyes and rubbed her hands repeatedly in hot water until they turned bright red.

After wiping her hands with shochu several times, Mei Xue stretched her arms and waited for her hands to dry naturally before picking up the white gold wire.

The gold wire is extremely thin, and after being wrapped around the silkworm ice silk, it is still so thin that it shakes tremblingly.

Mei Xue bent a very small hook on the top of the gold wire, then looked up at the King of Shu and the others and said:

"No matter what happens in a while, you are not allowed to disturb me, I will not call you, and never come to help me."

At this moment, even the king of Shu ignored Mei Xue's disrespect, he nodded immediately and silently agreed.

Using two folded cotton cloths to hold Li Jinzhi's mouth open, Mei Xue slowly put the gold thread in her hand.

The speed of the gold wire was so slow that it seemed to be standing still.

The woman wore white clothes and tied her hair, not even wearing the only silver lilac earrings.

She knelt sideways on the brocade mat beside the bed, she didn't look at her hands at all, she just stared at Li Jinzhi with all her attention.

From the mouth to the throat, and then to the chest, the eyes of Shu Wang and others followed Mei Xue's eyes.

Time slowed down as if it had stagnated, Xiao Yan felt that he was about to suffocate from nervousness, but he still didn't dare to take a big breath, for fear of alarming Mei Xue.

It was getting dark gradually, Xiao Yan quietly looked at the darkened window with trembling lips, he was afraid that Mei Xue would not be able to see, he really wanted to light up the lamp immediately, but he didn't dare to move, his legs were as heavy as lead .

Shen Qingyang remained silent, but quietly turned around and lit the two palace lanterns in the corner of the room.

The light shone on Mei Xue's face, and beads of sweat were slowly sliding down her cheeks.

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly turned red.

The gold thread was finally pulled out slowly from Li Jinzhi's mouth, and the bloody mass on the top was placed on the plate on the low table.

Mei Xue sat slumped on the ground, and it took a long time to stand up with the help of the edge of the bed.

The King of Shu and the others came back to their senses, and the King of Shu immediately stood up. Xiao Yan hurriedly ran to Mei Xue's side, and asked her with concern if she was okay.

The King of Shu had already rushed to the bed, and when he saw blood dripping from the corner of Li Jinzhi's mouth, he turned pale again.

Mei Xue looked at Li Jinzhi following the King of Shu's line of sight, bent down and put a white cloth towel on Li Jinzhi's neck, and said in a hoarse voice:
"A lot of dirty blood has accumulated in his lungs, and it's a good thing that it can flow out now."

The King of Shu obviously couldn't believe it completely, but he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Shen Qingyang had already turned on all the lights in the room. He walked to the bed, looked at Li Jinzhi silently for a while, and then walked out of the room.

Xiao Yan was so pleasantly surprised that he almost cried out.

King Shu's face was full of tiredness, but within two hours, he seemed to have aged a lot.

He looked at the eldest son who was still asleep, closed his eyes hard and asked Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Mei Xue raised her head, looked at the side face of King Shu quietly for a while, and then said:

"The young master started to get sick after his fifth birthday, and it is impossible for a child at that age to swallow such a big tasseled pearl, so someone must have forced him, and even put something lubricating on the pearl. "

The King of Shu fell silent again, but Mei Xue could see his lips trembling violently.

The King of Shu didn't speak any more, he just pointed to the plate where Nanzhu was placed and motioned Xiao Yan to pick it up and follow him.

Peng Liang entered the room, saluted Mei Xue respectfully and said:
"Miss Mei, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

Mei Xue nodded, and Peng Liang stood at the door of the bedroom with his hands down.

The room had been tidied up, and another servant brought food in. After cleaning her hands and face, Mei Xue sat down at the table.

A few dishes of refreshing side dishes, a bowl of japonica rice porridge, and a plate of small flower rolls in chicken oil.

The person who prepared the meals seemed to understand Mei Xue's mind very well, knowing that she couldn't eat any greasy food at the moment.

Seeing that Mei Xue didn't move her chopsticks, the servants thought she was not satisfied with the food, so they hurriedly saluted and explained:

"This is Master Shen's order. If the girl doesn't like it, the maidservant will change it immediately."

Mei Xue was slightly surprised, and even Peng Liang who was standing at the door raised his head in surprise, completely unable to believe that this was something Shen Qingyang would do.

"I'm just wanting to eat some light food, this is good." Mei Xue comforted the panic-stricken mother-in-law, and picked up the porridge in a small white porcelain bowl.

Shen Qingyang never came back, but Xiao Yan came back in the middle of the night with a dejected face.

Mei Xue was sitting by the bed reading a book, while Li Jinzhi was still fast asleep.

When Xiao Yan entered the door, Peng Liang saluted him, but he didn't even look at it, so he walked to Mei Xue and sat down.

Mei Xue raised her head, glanced at Xiao Yan's haggard face, then lowered her head to read her book.

"Miss Mei, thank you for saving my cousin. You are my Xiao Yan and our Xiao family's benefactor. No matter what happens in the future, as long as you ask, I will never refuse."

Xiao Yan's voice was full of exhaustion and sadness, Mei Xue closed the book in her hand, got up and put a new cloth towel under Li Jinzhi's neck.

"Young Master Xiao, you don't have to be so polite. Since this is a disease I can cure, no matter what the status of the patient is, I will do my best."

Mei Xue was talking, poured a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Holding the water glass, Xiao Yan remained motionless for a while, then suddenly choked up and said:
"The Nanzhu was the betrothal gift of Concubine Lin when she married into the palace, but she said that she was wronged, that her aunt stole her jewelry to frame her, and she had told her uncle when she lost the jewelry.

The aunt said that Concubine Lin put Qian Nanny next to her. Concubine Lin was afraid that her plot would be exposed after Miss Mei saved her cousin, so she asked Nanny Qian to kill Miss Mei and drag her into the water at the same time. "

Xiao Yan was obviously hit hard by today's farce, and his eyes were red when he said this:

"I don't believe my aunt would harm my cousin. She treats my cousin better than my cousin Feng."

Mei Xue looked at the young man in the candlelight, feeling speechless.

Naturally, she couldn't judge who the real culprit was Shu Wangfei or Lin Fangfei, or the real culprit was not among these two people at all.

The Xiao family can produce two concubines of Shu, and the current concubine is from a concubine, so she must be a noble family in the capital, but Xiao Yan has developed such a sensitive and innocent temperament, so, where is Li Jinzhi's biological mother?Is it the same as Xiao Yan?
Mei Xue glanced at the sleeping Li Jinzhi, then lowered her eyes in silence.

She wanted to try her best to make Li Jinzhi get well soon, and then follow him to the capital to meet Mei Mei.

For her, this should be the best and safest way at present.

Xiao Yan sat beside Li Jinzhi's bed until it was dusk, and fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed because he couldn't stand the sleepiness.

In the candlelight, Li Jinzhi was sleeping soundly. Mei Xue sat beside him with her head bowed, occasionally turning a page of the book. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time.
