she has golden eyes

Chapter 76 Despair
Mei Xue was treating Li Mingze, and Li Jinzhi was helping at the side. When the work was over, he would come to comfort the crying child as usual.

After Jiu'er was packing up the silver needles and other things, Mei Xue said to Li Jinzhi after cleaning her hands:
"I haven't seen Supervisor An for many days, and I always feel uneasy in my heart. I want to go and see him."

Li Jinzhi hugged Li Mingze patiently to comfort him, then nodded and said to Mei Xue:
"When you and Mr. Song were in Qingzhou, I visited Supervisor An. He was in poor health. You should go and see him."

Mei Xue felt sad, thinking of An Jiang's staggering figure when she saw An Jiang on the palace road for the last time.

At night, Li Jinzhi accompanied Mei Xue to Anzhai quietly.

An Jiang looked older, haggard, and his white hair was gradually thinning.

As soon as Mei Xue saw him, she couldn't help turning red eyes.

Most people in the world look down on eunuchs, thinking that most of them are abnormal psychologically because of their physical defects.

But in fact, how many of these eunuchs were not sold into the palace to purify themselves because their family members could no longer survive?
An Jiang can't be compared with a virtuous minister, but what evil has he done?
But Empress Shen used him to kill Emperor Mingde, so much so that the old man was pushed to the current desperate situation.

An Jiang was very calm. After asking Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue to sit down, he didn't mention his body, and didn't let Mei Xue check his pulse. Instead, he told them about Emperor Mingde's recent situation.

Ever since he replaced the original elixir with Mei Xue's medicine, Emperor Ming De lost control of his emotions less and less often, but his energy was obviously not as good as before.

Originally, An Jiang and the others could barely maintain it with careful service, but since Concubine Shu lived in Zhaoyang Palace for a long time, the situation has become worse and worse.

"In order to please His Majesty, Concubine Shu chose a few beautiful women from other regions to enter the palace, and entangled His Majesty every night.

His Majesty is also unwilling to slack off in government affairs, and every time he tries to support him, he becomes thinner and thinner day by day. "

Tears flickered in An Jiang's eyes:
"Your Majesty was not a womanizer at first, but in the past few years... it's all because of the stupidity of this old slave. It's only because of being used that he harmed His Majesty."

Speaking of this, An Jiang's tears finally fell like heavy rain:

"The old slave voluntarily purged himself and entered the palace. After following His Majesty, the whole family lived a stable life, and the old slave enjoyed all the wealth.

It's just that he never expected that when he was about to enter the earth, the old slave turned into a villain who harmed his master.

The old slave is a sinner, I am sorry to His Majesty, and I am also sorry to the people of Dajin. "

An Jiang cried until he choked up, Li Jinzhi's eyes were also red, and he stroked An Jiang's shoulder to comfort him:
"Superintendent, I have already told you that this matter is not your fault, and there is nothing shameful about it. The reason why I have to hide it is to prevent Brother Huang from being sad.

Now, all you have to do is to take care of your body so that you can take care of Uncle Huang for a little longer. "

An Jiang shook his head, cried and said:
"My lord, the friendship between you and Miss Mei is appreciated by this old servant.

However, it is really too difficult. The old slave sees His Majesty less and less now, and finally got the opportunity to ask His Majesty to ask Miss Mei to diagnose his pulse, but she was distracted by Concubine Shu. There is no chance for the slave to atone for his sins! "

An Jiang's gray head trembled in the shadow of the lamp, Mei Xue felt so sad, she silently turned her head away and couldn't bear to look at him again.

Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi returned to the palace with a heavy heart, but An Jiang sent a sealed wooden box to Li Jinzhi early the next morning.

Mei Xue was called to the outer courtyard, and Song Zhijie also rushed over.

When the box was opened, what caught the eye was a whole box of banknotes and valuable gold and jade items. The red envelopes that Song Zhijie gave An Jiang twice were also kept intact inside.

But there are no letters of a single word.

The three stood silently, Mei Xue pursed her lips and said with difficulty:

"Not only is the Anzhai as simple as an ordinary house, but I have also met the nephew of the chief supervisor. He is honest and simple, and he is just dressed like an ordinary peasant in the countryside."

Song Zhijie sighed and said:

"Dajian An has been with His Majesty since he was a child, and he is used to seeing the sky-high wealth, and he is deeply aware of the impermanence of the world. What he wants now is probably only the safety of the clansmen."

Li Jinzhi was silent for a long time, went to the door and called the little waiter who brought the boxes over, and said to him:
"Go back and tell the superintendent that I will take care of his family."

The little servant didn't have anything else to say, so he backed out after kowtowing to Li Jinzhi.

Li Jinzhi turned around, looked at Mei Xue and said:
"The superintendent is the person closest to Uncle Huang, he is like this now, I'm afraid he already has the will to die.

I think it is impossible for Uncle Huang to live another year or two as you expected, which is why the supervisor is so disheartened. "

Mei Xue nodded, feeling sad but helpless.

Shen Qingyang came to the palace in the evening.

The sky was full of rays of light, casting a light layer of warm color on his stern face.

Mei Xue was holding Ping An's hand and teaching him to walk, while Li Jinzhi was holding Li Mingze in his arms and stood watching with a smile.

Shen Qingyang lingered on the two children for a moment, then said to Jiu'er:
"Take the children away, I have something to say to Shizi."

Jiu'er hurriedly agreed, and together with Yu Rong, they left in a hurry with a child in their arms.

Li Jinzhi invited Shen Qingyang into the house, and Mei Xue followed silently.

After taking his seat, Shen Qingyang didn't even drink tea, and said directly:
"It has been found out that on the day Han Yu disappeared, Qiao Zhuowen indeed left the palace.

Now it is certain that the friend Han Yu met before his disappearance was Qiao Zhuowen, but this Qiao Zhuowen is extremely cunning and has done everything flawlessly. So far, Mr. Song and I have not been able to find any personal or physical evidence of his contact with Han Yu. .

I don't care about the fourth prince, and I dare to go directly to the palace to take Qiao Zhuowen away for interrogation, but as long as he delays for a little time, Han Yu may be silenced. "

After hearing this, Mei Xue gave a wry smile and said:

"Han Yu is a scholar with a noble character, that's why he doesn't dislike Qiao Zhuowen even after being a prisoner and still regards him as a close friend.

A person with such a temperament, even if Master Shen tortured Qiao Zhuowen and saved him, but his reputation was ruined, do you think Han Yu can still live? "

The number one scholar in the dynasty, who was famous as a scholar, was reduced to a plaything in the hands of a man. For a person like Han Yu, this kind of insult is probably more unacceptable than death.

Both Shen Qingyang and Li Jinzhi knew that Mei Xue was right to worry, and they both fell into silence.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her eyes to Shen Qingyang and said:

"I need a day to prepare things. As long as you can trick Qiao Zhuowen out of the palace and control him for half an hour, I can make him say everything without leaving any wounds on him. Let anyone see the difference."

Only by quietly saving Han Yu and hiding the truth, can he continue to live.

Even if it does not punish those who hurt him.

Shen Qingyang naturally understood what Mei Xue meant, and didn't ask in detail, just nodded and said:

"Then tomorrow evening, I'll ask Liu Qi to pick you up."

Mei Xue nodded, got up and sent Shen Qingyang away with Li Jinzhi.

After Yan Susu became an official slave, she has been doing rough work in the Jiaofang Division, but Qiao Zhuowen is extremely cunning, and at this point, it will take a lot of effort to use Yan Susu to trick him into leaving the palace.

After Mei Xue sent Shen Qingyang off, she went directly to the pharmacy, and Li Jinzhi called Chen Yiling to help her.

But the two were still busy until the next day when the sky was light before sending the pills into the oven to bake slowly.

Mei Xue poured two cups of tea, sat in the yard with Chen Yiling, drank tea and waited.

Chen Yiling still didn't ask a word, just smiled and said to Mei Xue:
"Time flies so fast. At this time last year, we were still preparing to go to Beijing in Chengdu."

Mei Xue nodded silently, raised her eyes to look at the horizon, and there was already a golden light spreading quietly.
