she has golden eyes

Chapter 84 The scandal
It was almost dawn, Mei Xue rubbed her knees, lowered her head and went out of the Buddhist hall to the tea room.

An Jiang was already sitting in the tea room, and Mei Xue saluted him. The two of them only looked at each other, but didn't say anything.

After drinking a cup of tea in a hurry, Mei Xue rushed to the Imperial Study Room again.

Standing with her head bowed in the corner of the imperial study room, after a while, a pair of embroidered shoes made of Sichuan brocade appeared in Mei Xue's sight. Concubine Shu said to Aunt Xing as she walked:
"Have you called Jin Hong? Your Majesty is about to go to court early, let him have breakfast with His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to call for His Highness, saying that he will be here soon."

While talking, Aunt Xing helped Concubine Shu to sit down on the main seat.

The fourth prince Li Jinhong came over soon, followed by Qiao Zhuowen who followed suit.

Li Jinhong looks quite a bit like Emperor Mingde, but it's a pity that the evil spirit in his eyes is too strong.

He even squeezed Mei Xue's waist as soon as he came in, and said with a light smile:
"Little thing, that old bastard An Jiang won't live for a few more days, I'll see how long you can hide."

Mei Xue was furious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she saluted Li Jinhong timidly and then hid in the corner.

The round fan in Concubine Shu's hand flew towards Li Jinhong, and he laughed and picked up the fan from the ground to coax Concubine Shu.

Emperor Mingde didn't show any abnormality at all. After coming down to court, he had breakfast with Concubine Shu and Li Jinhong. After the meal, he asked Li Jinhong about his homework, and then went into the imperial study to grade the papers.

Concubine Shu thoughtfully studied the ink for Emperor Mingde first, and when Emperor Mingde waved his hand, she saluted and left with a smile.

Mei Xue stood at the door of the study with her head down, and when she bowed to Concubine Shu, she could feel that Concubine Shu's eyes were as cold as knives.

Yesterday, Mei Xue only ate a piece of bread in the Buddhist hall, and knelt for another night, and she was very tired now.

But she still persevered and organized the papers approved by Emperor Ming De in an orderly manner.

After working for half an hour, Emperor Mingde stopped writing and did not speak. He only pointed to the plate of shortbread on the table beside him, and then pointed to the opposite corner by the window.

Mei Xue understood, and after saluting to Emperor Ming De, she took two pieces of shortbread and walked towards that corner.

The sun shone through the window on Mei Xue's side face. She had finished eating the shortbread and fell asleep while leaning against the bookshelf leading to the roof.

Emperor Mingde looked at her quietly, and after a long time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Young life is always full of vitality.They believe that they can change the world and that they will get everything they want.

For several days in a row, Zhaoyang Hall was calm and peaceful.

Concubine Shu was still bossing around behind Emperor Mingde's back, seeing Mei Xue visibly haggard, she sneered silently triumphantly.

But on the fourth day, after breakfast, Concubine Shu was serving Emperor Mingde to wash his hands, but he suddenly ordered Aunt Xing, who was waiting on the side, to say:

"Go and call the prince over here, and then see if An Jiang is in the palace, and if he is, let him come with him."

Aunt Xing was stunned, and her reaction became slower.

Concubine Shu's eyes flashed with panic and confusion, but she immediately reprimanded Aunt Xing in a low voice:

"Why are you in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and invite His Royal Highness and the chief supervisor?"

Aunt Xing hurriedly apologized, and then hurried out.

Mei Xue, who was standing in the corner, could not block Aunt Xing's way, but she took another step back cautiously.

Concubine Shu behaved as virtuous and gentle as usual, and after serving Emperor Mingde to wash his mouth and hands, she looked at Mei Xue with a smile and said:
"Qingyun, follow and serve His Majesty in the study, and I will go and make a pot of tea soup for His Majesty first."

Emperor Mingde's expression remained the same, he turned and entered the study with his hands behind his back.

Mei Xue responded, saluted Concubine Shu, and then entered the study.

The East Palace is not very close to Zhaoyang Hall, Concubine Shu has enough time to make a pot of tea for Emperor Mingde.

Mei Xue sneered in her heart while lowering her head to study the ink.

Emperor Mingde approved a few papers, and there was no sound outside. He suddenly looked up at Mei Xue and said softly:
"Stupid people, if they are still greedy, they will not only harm themselves."

Mei Xue nodded, silently glanced at Emperor Mingde, then lowered her head again.

A wry smile overflowed from the corner of Emperor Mingde's mouth, as if he was just talking to himself:

"Jinzhi is very lucky, because you are not only smart, but also not greedy.

But I just want to experience the experience of my eldest son, but I have to spend a lot of lives to achieve it. "

Mei Xue didn't say a word, just gently sorted out the notes written by Emperor Mingde and put them away.

Selfish people can always find all kinds of excuses for themselves.

In order to make up for his guilt back then, he killed countless people with the imperial decree to make his wife equal.

Now, it is obvious that the dispute over the position was caused by his own selfishness and suspicion, but it is all blamed on Concubine Shu's selfishness and stupidity.

An Jiang had been waiting in the tea room, so he rushed over quickly, and his eyes turned red when he saw Emperor Ming De.

Emperor Mingde was calm, glanced at An Jiang and said:

"At this age, I cry every time I see me, but I really get younger the longer I live."

An Jiang hurriedly slapped himself lightly, bowed and said to Emperor Ming De with a choked smile:
"The old servant misses His Majesty, and he is a little dazed. It really should be beaten. From now on, the old servant will only laugh and never cry again."

Emperor Mingde laughed, looked out the window and said:
"You wait here first, and watch a big show later."

An Jiang hurriedly responded, bowed his head, and stood by the wall with Fochen and Mei Xue in his arms.

Concubine Shu came in with tea, and immediately smiled when she saw An Jiang, and asked in a gentle voice:

"A few days ago, I heard that the chief supervisor was unwell and could not come to serve His Majesty, but is it better now?"

An Jiang saluted Concubine Shu with a smile and said:

"Madam Lao is concerned, the old slave is fine."

Concubine Shu nodded with a smile, served tea to Emperor Mingde and said softly:

"The weather is getting hotter, Your Majesty drinks a bowl of herbal tea to clear the liver and improve eyesight."

Mei Xue smiled coldly in her heart, but her face didn't show at all, she still stood with her head bowed respectfully.

Emperor Mingde hummed, waved his hand casually and said:

"Leave it alone, I'll drink it later."

Concubine Shu nodded with a smile, and obediently put the tea on the table.

But the anxiety in Concubine Shu's eyes still didn't escape Emperor Mingde's eyes.

He stared expressionlessly at the door of the imperial study room, not looking at Concubine Shu, and suddenly said after a while:
"My dear concubine, I came across an ancient book by chance yesterday, which mentioned a medicine called blood whisker grass, but the records were not detailed.

I remember that both father and brother in your family were doctors. I wonder if you have heard of this medicine? "

Mei Xue raised her eyes quietly, and saw Concubine Shu's body trembled, her complexion suddenly turned pale.

Seeing that Concubine Shu was speechless, Emperor Mingde slowly turned his head to look at her and asked:

"What's the matter, Concubine Ai, is there something uncomfortable?"

Concubine Shu's lips trembled, and a smile that was uglier than crying said on her face:

"Your Majesty, although I come from a family of doctors, I have been lazy since I was a child, and I am not good at medical science. I have never heard of the blood whisker grass."

Concubine Shu's pair of slender hands firmly grasped the corner of the table, because she kept trembling, the teacup placed on the table also shook slightly.

An Jiang turned his face away, and looked at each other silently with Mei Xue.

Emperor Mingde didn't speak anymore, but looked at Concubine Shu and smiled softly, his eyes were as cold as ice.

There were a lot of footsteps outside, and the leader of the guards, He Zheng, came in and knelt down to salute Emperor Mingde to report:
"Your Majesty, all the suspects have been taken down and put outside.

In addition, when the minister was arresting people, he encountered His Royal Highness and several eunuchs doing dirty things, so they also tied them up together. "

Fourth Prince Li Jinhong originally had his own Prince's Mansion, but Concubine Shu is now favored, so he often lives in the palace with Concubine Shu to accompany Emperor Mingde.

"Bold, you... how dare you slander the prince, you..."

Concubine Shu's face was pale, and while she forced herself to blame He Zheng, her body shook like a dead leaf in the wind.

She couldn't go on, she knelt tremblingly and grabbed Emperor Ming De's clothes and begged:

"Your Majesty, Hong'er is not such a person. Someone must be framing him."

Emperor Mingde ignored Concubine Shu, and only said to He Zheng indifferently:

"You go out first, kill those eunuchs now, and let your Fourth Highness watch, and let him come in to see me after watching."

From the beginning to the end, He Zheng didn't even look at Concubine Shu, he listened to Emperor Mingde's order, and immediately went out after heeded it.

Concubine Shu fell softly at Emperor Mingde's feet, covering her face with a veil and crying non-stop.
