she has golden eyes

Chapter 83
Aunt Xing walked up to Mei Xue, still smiling gently:

"Qingyun, you also know the habit of your mother, you have to pay respects to the Buddha every day.

Your Majesty is busy today, and there is no free time for your majesty to serve, why don't you go and replace your majesty? "

Mei Xue responded immediately, still lowered her head, obediently followed Aunt Xing to the Buddhist hall.

The door behind her was closed, and Mei Xue relaxed a little, took out a piece of bread from her sleeve, closed her eyes and ate it slowly, while eating, she carefully filtered what she saw and heard during the day in her mind.

People who want Emperor Mingde to die early are really going forward, but the stupidity and arrogance of Concubine Shu's mother and son are still beyond her imagination.

Such an idiot dares to think about the throne. She really overestimated the mother and son before.

As the night deepened, it became more and more silent.

Mei Xue moved her knees, knelt and closed her eyes to rest her mind, but she didn't dare to relax too much, her ears were still vigilantly listening to the movement around her.

When she heard the slight sound of the door opening, Mei Xue didn't move, but her right hand was already clenched tightly on the wooden hairpin.

When she smelled the faint scent of Qinan agarwood, Mei Xue quietly put the wooden hairpin into her sleeve.

"The prince asked you to come? What do you want to do? Tell me."

The white underwear and bright yellow shoes appeared in sight, Mei Xue closed her eyes and sighed inwardly, touched Emperor Ming De with her head on the ground, then lowered her head calmly and said:
"It was the minister and the prince who were worried about His Majesty's body but could not see him, so the minister made such a bad move out of worry.

I know that I have committed a capital crime, but this matter is my idea, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know about it, so I ask His Majesty to punish me. "

Emperor Mingde walked slowly to the chair next to him and sat down, suddenly sneered and said:

"You and Jinzhi are really similar, you only have the prince in your heart, and you don't take me seriously at all.

Do you think that the crown prince will be the future emperor of Jin, and that being loyal to him will ensure your prosperity and wealth in this life? "

Mei Xue raised her head, looked at Emperor Mingde's old and gloomy face in the candlelight, and suddenly choked up slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, in the heart of the son, you are the king, but more importantly, the elder, the uncle of the son.

But the prince entered the palace several times, but was refused outside the Zhaoyang Hall, and he was worried day and night after returning.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also worried about your health, and wept bitterly when talking about your health.

Wei Chen has some abilities, so he privately begged Supervisor An to bring Wei Chen into the palace, just to have a look at His Majesty.If His Majesty is in good health, then the minister, the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince can feel at ease. "

Two lines of tears fell from Mei Xue's eyes, she pursed her lips and continued:
"In the eyes of the minister and the prince, His Highness the Crown Prince is your chosen heir, and being loyal to His Highness means being loyal to Your Majesty.

Of course, the minister and the prince hope that they can live a safe life, but we also hope that His Majesty can be in good health, and that the people of Dajin can enjoy the blessing of peace forever.

Because only in this way, weak lives like Weichen's Little Ping'an, like the little emperor's grandson who is hugged in his arms every day, like Weichen's aunt, can live in the sun better.

But what happened today was indeed the work of the humble minister alone.I know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is unforgivable, I just beg Your Majesty to punish only one person, not to implicate others, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "

Emperor Mingde didn't make a sound, he just watched Mei Xue calmly in the candlelight, and said for a long time:
"I have many brothers, and my father is busy. So, in my 20s, I still envy Jin Zhineng being hugged by my father every day.

Therefore, for Jinyu, as long as I have time, I will take him by my side, because I don't want him to have regrets when he grows up.

But he still only listened to the Queen's words, without any assertiveness, meeting me was like a mouse meeting a cat.

I also know that many of his faults were borne by Qing Yang on his behalf.Except for the matter of marrying the first concubine, he has never taken responsibility like a man. "

Speaking of this, Emperor Mingde smiled wryly, with tears flashing in his eyes, and continued:
"I have so many brothers, so many treacherous ministers, with Jin Yu's disposition, as long as I die, these people will swallow him to the bone.

Now that the queen is gone, he finally dares to do something behind my back, but what do you think he has done?
You and Jinzhi are the most loyal people to him, but he sent you a woman to do such a dangerous thing, has he ever considered whether Jinzhi would feel resentful because of this?Has he considered who his eldest son will rely on for medical treatment in the future?Where is his conscience? "

Emperor Mingde suddenly became angry, even his lips were trembling.

Mei Xue knelt forward and walked a few steps, then kowtowed again at Emperor Mingde's feet and begged:
"Your Majesty, today's matter was indeed proposed by the minister. The minister and the prince will never complain to His Highness. I just ask His Majesty not to blame His Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Mingde let out a sigh of relief and said:
"Others say that you are not only good at medicine, but also smart and outstanding in appearance.

But the first time I saw you, I only remembered your eyes.

Your eyes are too clean, but you are also too ambitious, as if you can save all the suffering people by yourself.

You are very similar to Jinzhi in this point, you both look gentle, but in fact you are both too crazy and stupid. "

Mei Xue was silent, she lowered her head after wiping the tears from her face.

The strong fragrance of Buddha lingered on the tip of the nose, and the candle on the stage crackled. Emperor Mingde had already calmed down, and asked Mei Xue in a cold voice:

"Today, what can you see?"

Mei Xue hurriedly wiped away her tears, raised her face to look up at Emperor Mingde and said:

"Your Majesty, I did find something unusual.

Although the incense in the imperial study still smells like Qinan agarwood, it is actually different.This kind of agarwood is soaked in golden flower water before drying. Because the agarwood itself has a strong taste, it can easily cover up the smell of golden flower.

Although these two things are non-toxic, and can also play a role in calming the mind, but in the remaining ancient pharmacopoeia, an extremely rare effect of the golden flower is recorded. "

Seeing Emperor Ming De's mouth twitch when he heard the word "remaining ancient pharmacopoeia", Mei Xue sneered in her heart.

Concubine Shu's natal family has practiced medicine for generations, and is famous throughout Yunnan and even the capital.

Mei Xue paused, and after giving Emperor Mingde time to digest the information, he continued:
"People who smell this fragrance for a long time, once exposed to blood mustache in their diet, will soon become emotional, violent, and even hallucinate.

The cleverness of the poisoner is that he knows that the blood whisker grass and the golden flower are non-poisonous,
Silver needles cannot be tested, no matter how many times the servants try the dishes, as long as they don't eat these two things at the same time, they will be safe and sound.

Then, even if the trick is exposed and caught, he can still argue that he didn't understand the ingenuity, but it was an unintentional mistake.

I would like to ask Your Majesty to recall, the last three times, when His Royal Highness saw you, or before seeing you, did anyone bring you tea or other food? "

Emperor Mingde had already closed his eyes, he didn't answer Mei Xue's words, and after a long silence, he said in a tired and slow voice:
"Just stay in the imperial study for another two days. I'll check who hides bloodbeard grass in this palace. You just need to tell me how to check."

Mei Xue nodded and replied directly:
"Powders or potions made from bloodbeard grass are colorless, odorless and non-toxic. But as long as a few drops of mature vinegar are added to it, it will instantly turn blood red."

Emperor Mingde sneered a few times, then stood up from his chair, without looking at Mei Xue, he just looked at the Buddha statue on the wall with his hands behind his back and said:

"He is my eldest son. I have never thought of abolishing him. I am only training him. You and Jinzhi will help him with all your heart in the future.

And Mingze, you take good care of him. I will keep this friendship in my heart. "

After speaking, Emperor Mingde strode out.

Mei Xue turned her head, only seeing the open door of the Buddhist hall and Dedi's thin back.

The lone moon hangs high, casting shadows from the eaves in the courtyard.

Mei Xue got up and closed the door of the Buddhist hall, then returned to the futon and knelt down.

As an emperor, she still has to work hard to act for her son and grandson. If she wants to live a good life, why not learn to say a few words against her will and shed a few tears at the right time?

Thinking of this, Mei Xue looked up at the compassionate Bodhisattva, and smiled silently with the corners of her mouth raised.

She has never believed in ghosts and gods, but she has always believed in retribution, and will always pursue a clear conscience.
