she has golden eyes

Chapter 96

Mei Xue had just entered the side door of the palace, when a warm sedan chair was brought to welcome her, and she only walked for a while in the sedan chair, when she saw Li Jinzhi striding towards from the wind and snow.

Li Jinzhi wore a snow-white cloak, his skin was as white as jade, his eyes were smiling, and the open bamboo umbrella was already covered with a layer of white.

Seeing that Mei Xue was opening the car curtain to look at him, he reached out and stroked Mei Xue's hair, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

The sedan chair was carried all the way to the plum garden, and the servants had already prepared hot tea and charcoal basins and other things.

Song Zhijie stood at the door with a smile on his face. Seeing Li Jinzhi helping Mei Xue get out of the sedan chair, he turned sideways to give way.

The room is warm and cozy, the windows are half open, reflecting the blooming plum trees outside.

Peng Liang poured hot tea for the three of them, then closed the door and went outside to watch.

Mei Xue lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, and told Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie about An Jiang's visit.

Song Zhijie nodded with a smile and said:
"Young lady is right to be cautious. Although she is going to consult His Majesty, if the crown prince speaks, it can show his filial piety, and secondly, the young lady can avoid further suspicion."

Mei Xue nodded with a smile, but her eyes were cold.

Living in the hands of Emperor Mingde is a bit hard, but it will definitely be even harder when it is in Li Jinyu's hands next year.

She was mentally prepared and believed that Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie were the same as her.

Next, Song Zhijie and Li Jinzhi told Mei Xue some recent events, the most important of which was the urgent letter sent by the King of Shu.

The fief of the king of Chu is in the Lianghu area, which is the richest and most extensive among the vassal kings, and it is the most convenient place to pass from Shu to the capital.

Although the king of Shu was lazy by nature, he could only start to take precautions secretly after being pressed by Emperor Mingde all these years.Especially after Li Jinzhi was forced to enter Beijing, he had to take care of it.

For more than a year, Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie didn't dare to relax for a moment. In addition, the King of Shu's actions were more convenient, and they made a lot of progress.

One of them is that the king of Shu recently found out about the changes of the father and son of the king of Chu.

With a calm smile on his face, Li Jinzhi said to Mei Xue:

"Cousin Jinchen has always been free and unrestrained, and he likes the theory of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal most. There are also many Taoist priests in the mansion. It's just that he and Uncle Chu are the ones who hide the deepest."

King Lu relied on Concubine Xie, and he has been reckless and arrogant since he was a child.King Chu actually has more means and courage than King Lu. He never shows off his dew, but he can always get the greatest benefit.

The king of Shu, Song Zhijie and others deduced that the most likely reason for the king of Chu was to take advantage of the death of Emperor Mingde and Li Jinyu's throne to rebel.

And the so-called Taoist priests that Li Jinchen raised in the mansion were actually martial arts experts. Not only would they be able to keep Li Jinchen out of the capital safely, they might even become the internal support of the King of Chu.

Mei Xue was not surprised after hearing this, and after thinking for a while in silence, she shook her head and said:

"Although the land of the two lakes is rich, and the king of Chu has planned for a long time, the two lakes are located between the land of Shu and the capital. Even if your majesty has always been suspicious of the prince, they are brothers from the same mother after all. The king of Chu dare not No scruples at all."

Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie looked at each other, then looked at Mei Xue together, waiting for her to continue.

Mei Xue bit her lip, frowned slightly and said:
"The so-called sending out troops without a name is a thief. If the king of Chu wants to send troops and avoid being surrounded by the prince, the best way is to charge the prince with a crime that the whole world can't tolerate, and then he will send troops to crusade in a justifiable way. But the prince has no reason to support the prince."

As soon as Mei Xue finished speaking, Song Zhijie stood up in shock and said in a trembling voice:
"Kill the father and kill the king!"

Mei Xue nodded, her eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and continued:
"Although this is just speculation, it is indeed the most beneficial and safest method for Chu Wang and his son."

Song Zhijie, who has always been mature and prudent, obviously became anxious, and said to Li Jinzhi:
"Your Majesty, you and Ms. Mei continue to discuss, and my subordinates will first arrange for someone to deliver a message to the prince. In addition, we have to change our arrangements at Prince Chu's residence."

Li Jinzhi nodded, watching Song Zhijie leave in a hurry, he turned around and hugged Mei Xue in his arms and said in a low voice:

"Thanks for your reminder, otherwise I'm afraid I will miss a big deal."

Mei Xue smiled, looked up at him and said:

"This is just speculation, it may not be the case.

But the prince has a cold nature, so don't tell him this matter too early, if my guess comes true, the more contributions we will make, the more bargaining chips we will have. "

After the fall of King Lu, his fief Shandong was completely under the control of the prince's confidant Yuan Hao.

And if the king of Chu followed the old path of the king of Lu, then the Lianghu area must not be easily controlled by Li Jinyu.

Li Jinzhi nodded, gently stroked Mei Xue's hair and said:

"Don't worry, I have told my father that if there is a day when swords and soldiers meet, the control of the two lakes will become the key factor for my father to win."

Mei Xue nodded, lightly patted Li Jinzhi's arm and said:
"In any case, it's always good to prepare early. If he really wants to kill him in the future, we at least have a chance to resist."

Li Jinzhi gave a "hmm" and said to Mei Xue:
"Mr. Song and I will arrange this matter, you don't have to worry.

When he invites you into the palace, you have to deal with it carefully, ensuring your own safety is the most important thing. "

Mei Xue agreed, hugged Li Jinzhi back, then turned and walked out.

Mei Xue was still in the warm sedan chair, and Li Jinzhi walked beside her, sending her to the carriage at the side door and watching her leave.

Only one day later, Li Jinyu went to Lilac to invite Mei Xue in person again.

The heavy snow has stopped, and the green bamboo outside the study window is still covered with a layer of white.

Li Jinyu looked sad, and after introducing Emperor Mingde's current physical condition in detail, he mentioned his own thoughts: He hoped that Mei Xue could stay in the palace for a period of time to take care of Emperor Mingde's body.

Mei Xue agreed without hesitation, but proposed to send Li Mingze back to the Shu Palace, because Chen Yiling could continue to treat Li Mingze, and Li Jinzhi could be there to help, so that Li Mingze would not cry for a long time.

Seeing that Mei Xue agreed readily, Li Jinyu also smiled and said:
"It's natural, send Ping An back with him, he can play with Mingze.

When you come back to live, bring the two of them back together. "

Li Jinyu's last words made Mei Xue sneer in her heart.

Yes, at this time, he did not forget to emphasize this matter.

After sending Li Jinyu away, Mei Xue started to pack her things. In the afternoon, she took Yurong and Madam Zhang to send Li Mingze and Ping An to Shu Palace, and she entered the palace early the next morning.

Li Jinzhi rushed to Lilac to send Mei Xue off early in the morning.

At the gate of the palace, it was inconvenient for Li Jinzhi to get out of the carriage, so he sat in the carriage and hugged Mei Xue tightly.

Mei Xue gently stroked Li Jinzhi's back, comforting him and saying:
"Don't worry too much, even if my guess comes true, Prince Chu's son will do it in public, because only in this way can the prince's crime be confirmed.

So I just need to be vigilant about the public occasions His Majesty attends, and it won't be too hard. "

Li Jinzhi buried his face in Mei Xue's neck, and after a long time said in a low voice:

"There are people from us in Chu Palace, but we still don't have access to the core secrets. Mr. Song and I will think of a way. Once there is news, I will send you into the palace as soon as possible."

Mei Xue let out a "hmm", lightly patted Li Jinzhi on the back, got up and got off the carriage.

Mei Xue went to see Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang first, and seeing their expressions, Mei Xue knew that Li Jinyu had told them the truth.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an was hoarse, but she still squeezed out a wry smile and said to Mei Xue:
"Good boy, I have to work hard on you again. Just do your best. The Ai family and the prince know everything in their hearts."

Mei Xue was speechless, and could only silently kowtow to Queen Mother Jing'an and leave.

After leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, one could see the Crown Princess Xie Danqin coming in a sedan chair from a distance, with a little girl carved in powder and jade sitting on the left and right sides.

They are the two daughters of the former Crown Princess Yang Shumin, Princess Yongming and Princess Yongqing.

Obviously, the two children were very close to Xie Danqin, and the younger Princess Yongqing even put his arms around Xie Danqin's arm and leaned on her shoulder, drowsy.

Walking to the front, Mei Xue stopped to salute Xie Danqin.

Xie Danqin pampered Princess Yongqing's little face and said to Mei Xue:

"She was the one who made a fuss about coming together to pay respects to the emperor's grandmother. Now it's a good thing, but she started to doze off before she got there."

Looking at Xie Danqin's clear and calm eyes, Mei Xue knew that she had passed the stage of shock, fear and hatred at the beginning.

Xie Danqin had already thought of what she and Li Jinzhi thought of.

What will be waiting for Miss Xie Qi or Mrs. Xie's family, the result is already ready to be revealed.

Xie Danqin has endured humiliation for many years and will never miss this golden opportunity.

Mei Xue stood and chatted a few words with Xie Danqin, watched her leave and continued walking towards Zhaoyang Hall.

A gust of cold wind blows, and the remaining snow on the palace wall is rolled into white mist and swirls away into the distance.

Mei Xue looked up at the vast sky, pursed her lips, lowered her head and continued walking.
