[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

Xiao Jingyan accompanied Yan Zhen back to Prince Jing's mansion, he sent her back to her room, she patted his arm and said, "Go."

Seeing her tired expression, Xiao Jingyan nodded and said, "You were frightened tonight, go to rest early."

"En." Yan Zhen responded, and watched Xiao Jingyan go to the study. She looked back at the cool night and thought of Jinling under the night.

Thirteen years ago, it destroyed all the ideals of Qingming and became a dead city with all the organs.

Yan Zhen was really tired that night, she slept very deeply, and she didn't even know when Xiao Jingyan would come back.

On the second day, she thanked the guests behind closed doors, saying that her fetus was gasping and she needed to recuperate, but the tortoise shell that was by her side on weekdays was not by her side.

She was sent by Yan Zhen to accompany Xie Qi.

"A woman's childbirth is always a pass through the gate of hell. She is about to give birth, and she went through last night again, how can she still bear it in her heart?" Yan Zhen drank a bowl of chicken soup, felt a little bored, and stuffed it again A plum goes in.

Xiao Jingyan tucked the quilt for her, put another pillow behind her and said, "I heard from Mr. Su that last night was extremely dangerous. I will accompany you to the banquet in the future."

"You hate socializing the most, so what's the point of going to a banquet. Did you see your mother when you entered the palace today?" Yan Zhen changed the subject, she didn't want to force Xiao Jingyan to accompany her to socialize in the future.

"Well, mother was worried at first, but she is relieved to know that you are safe. You should take a good rest in the mansion these few days."

"Yeah." Yan Zhen responded, remembering that the last spring hunting is coming soon, "I can't go to the Jinxie paddock this year. I heard that Nanchu also went there. That Yu Wenxuan is really annoying. You are on the hunting ground You have to behave well with the generals. Don't let the people of Southern Chu underestimate us."

"Okay, it's all according to our princess."

After a few days, Xie Qi had dystocia, and it was her first child. At the beginning, she pretended to die. If it wasn't for the presence of the tortoise shell, the mother and child would only be able to keep one child.

King Yu sympathetically let Zhuo Qingyao go to meet Xie Qi, and when they saw that both mother and child were safe, the whole family cried and laughed, filled with emotion for a moment.

The news of Xie Qi's safe delivery reached Su Zhai.

When Mei Changsu heard the news, he raised his head, the evening wind was warm, and the strands of his hair fluttered erratically.

He remembered that when she was a child, she once swayed by his legs and grabbed the hem of his clothes, but those memories were too long ago, so far away that they didn't seem to be his own. As for Xie Qi as an adult, his impression It's superficial, just the background to some of his plans.

He felt somewhat relieved that he owed her nothing after all.

"Fei Liu," he opened his eyes again, and there was a cold pool of still water, indifferent, cold, steady and deep, as if he had covered all his emotions, and seemed to have no emotions at all, he called to his side The teenager, "A person's heart can be hardened, you know?"

After a few days, Mei Changsu stopped worrying about it and began to pay attention to Prince Yu's movements.

King Yu's actions were indeed not slow. On the third day when Xie Yu was imprisoned, the whole court was shaken. The Prince Fang's people quickly used all their strength to inquire about the inside story, and at the same time begged for love and protection in turn.

The collapse of a first-rank military marquis in an instant is considered a major case in recent years anyway.

But to the surprise of some people who didn't know the inside story, neither Yuwang's party who initiated the case nor the prince's party who tried his best to protect him did not request a joint trial. This procedure should have been necessary in the first place.

Therefore, Xie Yu's case was indeed left to Emperor Liang alone to decide, and no foreign minister was allowed to intervene openly.

Disturbed by all these annoyances, Emperor Liang still went to the Jinxie paddock for spring hunting according to the original arrangement. Ten pieces, one handle of jade ruyi, and Meng Zhi also got some pearls and shells as rewards.

The prince and King Yu who returned empty-handed couldn't help feeling a little sour, but one relied on his status as the crown prince, and the other thought that the reward he had received in the past was far more than this, and wanted to show friendship and magnanimity, so he didn't show anything on his face. Prepare gifts, go to congratulate King Jing for his bravery, and save face for Daliang.

Some officials followed suit and naturally came to give gifts one after another.

When Yan Zhen looked at the gift that was carried at the door and then blocked back, she smiled at Xiao Jingyan and said, "You really did a good job in the paddock. But you can't just accept nothing, right?"

Xiao Jingyan replied with a righteous face: "I have accepted, I have accepted all the gifts from my brothers. After all, a gift from a brother is not a friend."

"You were so unfriendly before, do you still care about this time? That's okay, walking around is a must in Jinling now. Next time, I will choose gifts from here. By the way, Zhuji picked a few golden beads to send to the two side concubines. " Yan Zhen ordered.

"Why are you giving it to them?" Xiao Jingyan knew that she didn't like these things, so he added, "We can save a dowry for Ah Jiu."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it for Ajiu. Besides, marrying a daughter is not paving the way with gold beads." Yan Zhen gave him a reproachful look, "Okay, I know you are still angry that the queen took advantage of me just after giving birth. Ajiu will just give you two side concubines. Don’t bother with them. Let’s go, let’s go and watch Ajiu’s homework. This girl just got into trouble with Buddha Ya after two days of obedience..."

Yan Zhen and Xiao Jingyan walked away together, and the situation in Prince Jing's mansion also unfolded with the rolling of the golden beads.

On the fifth day after the spring hunt, there was still no news of Xie Yu's disposal.

Mei Changsu was not in a hurry either, and leisurely trimmed the flowers and trees in the courtyard with iron scissors.

In the afternoon, Li Gang came to report King Yu's visit, and before he could return to his room to change the coat that was soiled when he turned over the flowers and trees, King Yu had already strode over angrily.

The two walked into the room together, and before everyone left, King Yu couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty is really crazy!"

"Your Highness, please have some tea." Mei Changsu handed a small celadon tureen to King Yu, and asked quietly, "What did Your Highness just say?"

"Uh..." Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, King Yu hurriedly corrected his words, "I mean, I don't know what His Majesty is thinking, Xie Yu's case is settled, and if we discuss relatives and nobles, it is better not to be involved, and the death penalty is inevitable after all, so why hesitate? ?”

"Your Majesty hesitated?" Mei Changsu remained calm, "Didn't you go well a few days ago?"

"You don't know, Xia Jiang is back. I didn't realize that this old man has such a friendship with Xie Yu on weekdays. Xuanjingsi should stay out of it, but he actually broke a big rule for Xie Yu and asked to see Sheng Jia." I don’t know what Jijigugu was turning his tongue, His Majesty’s tone changed today, and he called me to inquire about the situation that day in detail, as if he had some doubts that Xie Yu was framed by someone.”

"The ironclad evidence is like a mountain. Isn't there some letters written by Xie Yu in Tianquan Villa? Zhuo Qingyao also has the floor plan of Shen Zhui's mansion in the household department drawn by Xie Yu. He used illegal means to assassinate the court officials. Sin, I'm afraid someone can turn it over by moving their tongue, right?"

"That being said, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.

Xia Jiang is a man of means, and His Majesty trusts him. After hearing that he came back, because Xia Dong helped us that night, he scolded her and is still under house arrest and not allowed to move around.

Seeing his situation, he was reckless and determined to protect Xie Yu.

They don't have any close contacts on weekdays, so how can their relationship be so tight? "

Mei Changsu's eyes flickered, and he asked calmly, "Has he met Xie Yu in the prison?"

"I saw it once. I drove all my people out, and I couldn't find out what they talked about."

"What about Xie Yu's statement?"

"He recognized some, and others he didn't."

"That is to say, he admitted that he had done some crimes for the crown prince, but he didn't admit any of the major cases involving the royal Tianwei, such as the murder of the inner eunuch?"

"Yes, he insisted that he had indeed used Zhuo Dingfeng's power, including assassinating Shen Zhui, and he admitted it.

For other important things, he cried out for being wronged, and counter-accused that Zhuo Dingfeng deliberately planted on him in order to avenge his personal revenge. "

"Well," Mei Changsu nodded, "It seems that Xie Yu only wants to save his life.

That's right, as long as he saves his life, he can endure exile and so on. As long as the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly in the future, is he worried that he won't have a chance to make a comeback? "

"He is wishful thinking," Yu Wang snorted coldly when he was poked at the sore spot, "If this king can't kill him this time, it will be a waste of all your painstaking efforts to plan for me, sir."

Mei Changsu looked at Zhuo Dingfeng's list, and asked casually, "I'm afraid Zhuo Dingfeng didn't know why Xie Yu wanted to kill some people, right?"

"That's right. Some even this king can't figure out what he will do if he kills him."

"For example...the teacher...that's really strange." Mei Changsu seemed to be unable to remember clearly, and looked for it again with the paper list, "Is this Li Zhongxin? He was killed in Zhenping 23 years. It's been almost twelve or three years now, and it's really an old case. Maybe it's a personal grudge."

"A teacher has a personal grievance with Ning Guohou? Are you joking, sir?"

"It's indeed a joke," Mei Changsu said lightly, "Your Highness, don't worry. Although Xia Jiang is trusted by the emperor, is it possible that His Highness's favor in front of the emperor will be inferior to him? If Xie Yu escaped with his life this time , not to mention whether he has a chance to recover from the ashes, what I am afraid of is that His Highness's power in the eyes of all officials will be diminished, and it is something that cannot be compromised."

Yu Wang's face was gloomy, obviously this sentence hit his heart.

"Your Highness," Mei Changsu's voice interrupted King Yu's contemplation, "You still have some strength in the prison, right? Can you let me go in and meet Xie Yu?"

"You want to see Xie Yu? This man has a jackal's heart, and now the most important thing is to save his life. I'm afraid it can't be moved by words, right?"

"It depends on how to say it." Mei Changsu slowly folded the paper in his hand, "Your Highness, you also said that Xie Yu and Xia Jiang don't have a deep personal relationship, so in my opinion, he is going all out to protect Xie Yu this time." Jade, I think it's not for love, but for profit."

"How profitable is Xia Jiang? Could it be that he is also for the prince..."

"No," Mei Changsu shook his head resolutely, "Xia Jiang's loyalty to His Majesty absolutely cannot be doubted. For him, everything he does is for His Majesty's sake. I'm afraid even His Majesty will not deny this, right? "

"That's right, Xia Jiang is loyal to his father to the bottom of his heart, so I can't figure out why he would jump out at this time."

"Speaking of this, I just realized it a few days ago. Just because a person is loyal to you doesn't mean he won't lie to you. Sometimes he will do things without telling you. He thinks in his heart that it's for your own good. of."

"Sir, what do you mean, Xia Jiang also lied to his father?"

"It's just speculation." Mei Changsu raised the long list in Yang's hand, "Speculation, of course, you have to think about any possibility, for example, I was wondering... Will there be some in this list? People... Xie Yu killed for Xia Jiang?"

As soon as he spoke, King Yu jumped up, his right fist smashed into his left palm, and he spoke harshly: "That's right! Mister is indeed quick-witted. What kind of relationship can there be between Xia Jiang and Xie Yu? It must be Xia Jiang Xie Yu has the confidence to hold it in his hands, he will protect his life, but he will keep silent, this is a deal! This is definitely the deal they reached when they met in the sky prison!"

Mei Changsu slowly stretched out a hand, made a gesture to signal Yu Wang Jing and Yi Jing, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Your Highness, don't get excited. As I said just now, all of this is just speculation. I'm afraid that there may be deviations if we speculate and formulate countermeasures based on the facts. Please arrange for me to meet Xie Yu first, Your Highness, even if I can't ask any questions, it's always okay to talk about it."

"That's right, this king is being reckless." Yu Wang also felt that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly stabilized his expression, "Going to the prison is easy to arrange, sir, don't worry. I will also ask them to lock Xie Yu, so that he will not hurt sir by being rude."

"That's okay, Fei Liu will follow me..." Mei Changsu paused, and asked, "Can we go together?"

"Yes, yes," Yu Wang hurriedly responded, "I forgot, there are Fei Liu guards, so why worry about Xie Yu."

Mei Changsu fooled King Wanyu, and said to Langgan who was in the dark, "Did you hear that?"

"Yes."

"Tell Ah Zhen that the plan is proceeding as scheduled."
