Chapter 91 The Bottom Line

Chapter 91 The Bottom Line
When Mei Xue returned to the palace, it was already dawn. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she simply ate something and fell asleep. She didn't wake up until half past noon.

Knowing that Mei Xue was back, Ping An kept circling outside the door, refusing to leave. When she saw her open the door, she jumped up laughingly.

Mei Xue carried Ping An to accompany Nanny Mei for lunch, but before she had said a few words after the meal, Peng Liang went to Zhuyuan to invite Mei Xue, saying that An Jiang had come.

Mei Xue frowned slightly, knowing that there must be something important, otherwise An Jiang would not have come to the palace privately, and he would have come during the day.

Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie accompanied An Jiang to drink tea in the study. He had obviously said something, because neither Li Jinzhi nor Song Zhijie looked good.

After Mei Xue sat down with several people, Song Zhijie simply recounted to Mei Xue the content of the conversation between Emperor Mingde and Li Jinyu.

An Jiang looked ashamed, sighed and said to Mei Xue:
"Miss Mei, this matter... this matter is ultimately His Majesty's sorry for you, it's just... just... oh..."

After serving Emperor Mingde for most of his life, how could he not understand the nature of his master?
He just didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who has always been gentle and easy-going, would be so... that he would even put Mei Xue under surveillance in a disguised form.

He couldn't say anything about this matter.

Mei Xue didn't show any surprise, instead she smiled and said:

"This is something that will happen sooner or later. The supervisor doesn't have to feel uncomfortable."

Picking up the teacup at hand and lowering her head to take a sip, Mei Xue slowly raised her head to look at An Jiang and asked:
"Superintendent, did His Royal Highness say who will be in charge of Ding Xiangli's guards in the future? Is he going to personally appoint people?"

Hearing Mei Xue's question, Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie also changed their expressions slightly, while An Jiang was completely stunned, and said after a long time:

"Miss Mei, you guessed it right, this... this... really..."

Mei Xue sneered, lightly rubbed the teacup in her hand, raised her eyes and looked out the window and said:
"I don't care about anything else, but if he wants to monitor me, it depends on whether I am willing or not."

Mei Xue believed that the father and son who did such a shameless thing would not dare to make a decree or have someone come to the palace to pass the word of mouth.

It must be Li Jinyu who quietly came to the palace and said that when she moved to the house in Lilac, outsiders would only think that she did it voluntarily to avoid suspicion.

And that mansion is also a reward from the royal family.

After sending An Jiang away, Li Jinzhi turned cold and said to Mei Xue:
"You just go back and rest. When he comes, I will go and explain it to him."

Mei Xue shook her head, let out a sigh of relief and said to Li Jinzhi:

"It's a matter of time, the son doesn't have to tear himself apart with him over this matter. As for the matter of the guards, I will go and talk to him."

Having said that, Mei Xue sneered and said:

"I'll give him enough face, just to see how low his bottom line is."

Song Zhijie nodded and said to Li Jinzhi:
"Your Majesty, Miss Mei is right. You are the one to come forward in this matter, and the Crown Prince will not refuse to agree, but it will eventually make him look bad and hurt your sympathy."

Li Jinzhi could only say to Mei Xue:
"Then you go back and change your clothes first, and I'll order someone to prepare the carriage."

To give Li Jinyu enough face, he should not be allowed to speak first, but Mei Xue should take the initiative to speak.

Mei Xue nodded, nodded to Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie, and quickly walked out of the study.

Song Zhijie glanced at Mei Xue's back through the window, then turned his head and said to Li Jinzhi:
"My son, we didn't expect too much from him, but now it's just right, at least we don't have to be too restrained in doing things in the future.

It's just that on the side of Lilac, the guards have to be arranged first. "

Li Jinzhi nodded, smiled coldly and said:

"Uncle Huang doesn't have many days left. Sir, go and write a letter to your father and tell him what happened in these days in detail, and tell him that you can start preparations."

Song Zhijie nodded in response and went out, and Li Jinzhi closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief, then also left the study.

It was evening when Mei Xue arrived at the East Palace, Xie Momo personally went to the gate of the main hall to meet her.

Apparently Nanny Xie had already mentioned it. As soon as Mei Xue sat down by the bed, Xie Danqin took her hands and opened her sleeves to look.

The backs of both hands were pinched by nails. Although the medicine was applied, the wounds were still red and swollen.

Xie Danqin's eyes were red, and she choked up and said:
"Miss Mei, I actually had some concerns in my heart. After all, you and Xian... Sister Yang are very good friends, but now, I admit that my spirit is really low."

Mei Xue smiled slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, this is not a big deal. When I was in Sichuan, I delivered babies to my neighbors. This kind of thing happened many times."

Xie Danqin smiled with tears in her eyes, and said kindly to Mei Xue:
"I saw two children this afternoon. The bruises on Chuan'er's neck have not disappeared. Even the envoy of Guoyuan was terrified, saying that the bruises must be very serious."

Xie Momo had already returned with a brocade box, Xie Danqin signaled her to hand the brocade box to Mei Xue before continuing:
"I picked these out on purpose. You accept them first. Even if you don't like them, you can keep them as gifts or exchange them for money."

While talking, she shook Mei Xue's hand again and said:

"Anyway, I keep your favor in my heart. Whenever there is anything I can help in the future, just ask."

Mei Xue nodded, said yes with a smile, then chatted with Xie Danqin for a while, and watched Xie Danqin drink the soup again.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mammy Xie to come in joyfully and report that Prince Li Jinyu had arrived.

Xie Danqin's face forced some joy, while Mei Xue only sneered in her heart.

Rather than going to the palace to talk about it in person, it would be easier to "meet" her here.

It was impossible for her not to agree, so there would be no embarrassment in bringing up this matter after meeting Li Jinzhi.

Just slap a haha ​​and go.

Hearing that Mei Xue said that she was going to move out of the palace and was looking around the house, Xie Danqin was very surprised, but she glanced at Mei Xue and Li Jinyu, who had obvious surprise in her eyes, and immediately understood most of it, and immediately lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

Li Jinyu said with a smile:

"Yu'er and Chuan'er were able to be born safely, Miss Mei should be the first credit. I was thinking of rewarding you."

After pretending to think for a while, he clapped his hands and said:

"The royal residence in Lilac was originally awarded by the imperial court to Grand Master Wang. I have been there twice, and it is very spacious and elegant. Ms. Mei, why don't you live there?
As for the guards, Jinzhi came from Sichuan and didn't bring many people with him, so let me arrange them by the way! "

Mei Xue stood up smiling and thanked Li Jinyu, but said apologetically:
"Your Highness is so generous, I am grateful, and it happens that I don't have a suitable place to live.

That's like agreeing
But Mei Xue then knelt down and said:
"But there is only one thing, please forgive me for being rude."

Mei Xue raised her head when she said this, looked at Li Jinyu apologetically and said:

"Weichen grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he is used to going in and out freely, even if he lives in the palace this year, he still feels uncomfortable everywhere.

Moreover, His Highness also knew that Weichen also adopted two sick children, both of whom were timid and afraid of seeing others.

If the royal guards were to guard Weichen's home, even if Weichen could get used to it slowly, neither of the two children would be used to it. "

After speaking, Mei Xue and Li Jinyu looked at each other quietly.

She remembered Li Jinyu who shed tears and begged Empress Shen for his wife and children when they first met.

He remembered Li Jinyu who was in a hurry when Li Mingze was about to starve to death in Kunning Palace.

Thinking of Li Jinyu who was relieved when Empress Shen was about to pass away.

All the images overlapped together, forming Li Jinyu whose smile gradually faded in front of him:
"Then, Miss Mei, the guard and servant of the new house, what are your plans?"

Mei Xue sneered in her heart, but still respectfully said:

"When Wei Chen arrived in Beijing, he had a few guards, all of whom were capable, and recently arranged for them to go to the martial arts hall to pick some people to teach.

As for the servants, the ones who serve close to him are already useful and convenient, and they all take care of the two children and Wei Chen's aunt all the time.

When you get to the new house, just buy some and put them outside the yard for rough use and sweeping. "

Having said that, Mei Xue kowtowed to Li Jinyu again and said:

"This minister is very grateful for His Highness's reward, but I have been in the countryside for a long time, and I have become accustomed to a life of rough clothes and simple clothes. Please allow Your Highness to grant it."

Li Jinyu was silent for a moment, and then the smile on his face returned. He asked Mei Xue to get up quickly, and said with a smile:
"Since it's a reward, if you make Miss Mei feel uncomfortable again, wouldn't you be doing something bad with good intentions? Just do as Miss Mei said, and I'll let the Ministry of Internal Affairs clean up the house tomorrow, and you can move in with the children after it's done. .”

Mei Xue smiled and thanked Li Jinyu, and after giving Xie Danqin a pulse diagnosis, she took the brocade box and left the East Palace.

When the street was bustling, Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi sat facing each other in the carriage, listening to the hawking outside, Mei Xue said softly to Li Jinzhi:

"If there is anything to do in the future, let someone find me in Lilac."

Li Jinzhi pursed his lips, leaned forward and held Mei Xue's hands and said:
"I will take you and the children back to the palace. I will also arrange the hidden guards. Don't be afraid."

Mei Xue nodded, moved forward, leaned on Li Jinzhi's shoulder and closed her eyes.
