she has golden eyes

Chapter 98 Critically ill
An Jiang led the servants to prepare dinner for Emperor Mingde, and there were two rows of maids holding food boxes on both sides of the door.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and stood quietly in the corner waiting.

Emperor Mingde glanced at Mei Xue and said to An Jiang:

"Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, let Meixue eat dinner together."

An Jiang hurriedly agreed, and after Mei Xue saluted and thanked her, she sat down opposite Emperor Ming De.

After eating in silence, Emperor Mingde went to the study again, and Mei Xue followed after washing her mouth and hands.

An Jiang came in with a cup of warm Xiaoshi tea, Emperor Mingde took it in his hand and drank it slowly, then suddenly looked up at Mei Xue and said:
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't keep it in your heart."

Mei Xue pursed her lips, walked to the side of the imperial case, knelt down and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the method of this humble minister can only help His Majesty sleep for a period of time.

For the long term, more rest is fundamental. "

Emperor Mingde smiled wryly, handed the teacup in his hand to An Jiang and said:
"Why don't I know these things? But the court is busy with affairs, and the crown prince can't handle many things well. I can't let go of everything and leave it to him."

Naturally, Mei Xue couldn't say anything more, so she just nodded.

For several days, Emperor Mingde was able to rest normally because of Mei Xue taking care of him. Occasionally, he couldn't sleep well, so Mei Xue would talk with him, or give him acupuncture for a while, and he would soon be able to sleep peacefully.

Just when An Jiang and Li Jinyu felt that the situation was very good, Emperor Mingde suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood when he got up early one morning and was about to go to court.

An Jiang and Li Jinyu were waiting for Emperor Mingde to get dressed, and their heads and faces were covered with blood spurted by Emperor Mingde.

Li Jinyu panicked and shouted to Mei Xue who was waiting outside.

Mei Xue hurried into the room, only took a look at Emperor Ming De before rushing out to get the needle pack.

When Emperor Mingde finally stopped the bleeding and waited for him to lie down, Mei Xue knelt down beside the bed and said:

"Your Majesty, you must rest."

Emperor Mingde gasped for breath, clutching the brocade quilt tightly with both hands, took a long time to take a breath, stared at Mei Xue and said:
"I... I have to go to court today... I have to."

To stop the court for no reason, and it happened when all the ministers had already entered the palace, would definitely cause great panic.

After all, Emperor Mingde's physical condition had already attracted suspicion.

Mei Xue naturally understood this, so she gritted her teeth and gave Emperor Ming De another injection, and then took out the pills for him to take.

Emperor Mingde was almost carried out by Li Jinyu after he was fully dressed, but as soon as he left the door of the bedroom, he straightened his waist and walked forward by himself.

Looking from behind, Emperor Ming De seemed to be no different from the past.

Mei Xue and An Jiang stood on the porch and looked at Emperor Mingde who was going away. For the first time, she felt a little admiration for this man.

He is selfish, he is indifferent, he has done many things wrong, and he has caused many people to die in vain.

But he is diligent and always puts state affairs first, even though he knows that his time is numbered.

Emperor Mingde's early court did not end early this time, and it lasted for more than an hour as usual.

But as soon as he entered the gate of the bedroom, he fell into Li Jinyu's arms.

Mei Xue had already prepared soup, medicine and food, and after administering the acupuncture to Emperor Mingde, he spit out several mouthfuls of dirty blood before calming down his breath.

Li Jinyu then knelt by the bed with tears in her eyes and served Emperor Mingde to take medicine and eat.

The soft, glutinous and sweet gruel, Emperor Mingde only took a few sips before waving his hand and said to Li Jinyu:

"Go and convey my will, just say that I got up early and caught the wind and cold, and you will go for me in the morning court in the next few days.

Remember, don't disturb the Tai Hospital, be careful with those courtiers, if you are undecided, just ask me later in the next court.

Excerpt, take it and read it to me, and I will teach you how to deal with it.

Also, the ones delivered outside the customs today.....the ones..."

Emperor Mingde was so breathless that he couldn't speak, Li Jinyu burst into tears, begging repeatedly:
"Father, you rest first. I will take care of these matters immediately. For the urgent report sent from outside the customs, I will go to discuss with a few elders and report to you for a ruling."

Only then did Emperor Ming De reluctantly nod his head, and closed his eyes in extreme exhaustion.

Mei Xue stood by the bed with downcast eyes. After Li Jinyu went out and closed the door, she sat down on the brocade stool by the bed and took Emperor Mingde's pulse.

An Jianghong focused her eyes, and covered the brocade quilt on Emperor Mingde's body with trembling hands.

After Mei Xue finished her pulse diagnosis, Emperor Ming De had already fallen asleep, and she shook her head slightly at An Jiang.

For the rest of the time, there was silence inside and outside the bedroom.

Mei Xue sat quietly by the bed and waited until it was almost noon when Emperor Ming De slowly opened his eyes.

Mei Xue hurriedly stood up, helped Emperor Mingde up with An Jiang, and put two soft pillows behind him.

Emperor Mingde's face was sallow, but he was still full of majesty. After taking a few sips of warm water in An Jiang's hand, he sneered and said:

"My queen and I have experienced life and death on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, and we finally survived.

It never occurred to me that I lost my life in the hands of a woman named Xu. "

Concubine Shu's maiden name is Xu.

An Jiang's hands trembled, and he quickly exchanged a glance with Mei Xue.

Mei Xue was speechless, and only sighed silently in her heart.

To this day, Emperor Mingde still thinks that Concubine Shu's medicine harmed him, but he didn't know that it was Empress Shen who really wanted him dead and ruined his body.

For several days, Emperor Mingde couldn't get out of bed.Except for avoiding him changing clothes and going to the toilet, Mei Xue and An Jiang waited in the dormitory together at other times.

According to Emperor Mingde's request, Li Jinyu came to report to him several times a day on the affairs of the court.

Empress Dowager Jing'an was also supported by Princess Chenyang to visit Emperor Mingde.

Mother and son looked at each other, Emperor Mingde's eyes were red, and he said to Empress Dowager Jing'an:
"Queen, do you miss your third brother? I'm going to order him to come back from Chengdu, and I want to see him again."

Princess Chenyang burst into tears instantly, and Empress Dowager Jing'an also shed tears, but she still shook Emperor Mingde's hand and said:
"Emperor, all the feudal lords and ministers in the court are staring at your brothers, if you let the third child back at this time, who knows how much trouble will be caused?

Don't worry, Aijia has stayed in this palace all his life, Aijia understands everything and doesn't complain about anything.

As long as you can listen to Mei Xue's words and take good care of your body, Aijia will be satisfied with everything. "

Emperor Mingde finally shed tears and buried his face in the arms of Queen Mother Jing'an, unwilling to leave for a long time.

From this day on, Emperor Mingde suddenly seemed to be a different person. He no longer asked Li Jinyu to report to him about the affairs of the court and China in detail, and he no longer insisted on reading scriptures in bed.

Even when the ministers went to the palace to ask for an audience, Li Jinyu was pushed to deal with it.

Most of the time he lay quietly, and when he couldn't fall asleep, he asked Mei Xue to read to him for a while, or asked An Jiang and Mei Xue to help him walk a few steps around the house.

Even taking advantage of the good weather, he asked the servant to carry him to the flower house in a warm sedan chair.

The cold wind was howling outside, but it was as warm as mid-spring in the greenhouse.

Emperor Mingde walked slowly holding An Jiang's hand, occasionally stopping to point to a beautiful peony and saying:
"Do you remember? This Wei Zi plant was given to me by the former right servant of the household department, Huang Zhi, thinking that I would ignore his dereliction of duty? Hmph!"

An Jiang just laughed, nodded repeatedly and said:

"Of course the old slave remembers that it happened five years ago, and His Majesty dispatched him to northern Xinjiang."

Mei Xue followed behind with lowered eyes, listening to their master and servant talking about the past, she was filled with emotion.

Early the next morning, when Mei Xue got up and tidied up, An Jiang told her with a smile that Li Jinzhi would go to the palace today to visit the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

Mei Xue knew that there was new news from Prince Chu's side, so she thanked An Jiang, and after breakfast served Emperor Mingde's soup, she went all the way to the Palace of Compassion.
