Hearing Mei Changsu's words, Meng Zhi felt like a blow to the head, recovered his senses and said hastily, "I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that."

"You just took over the East Palace for more convenience. I understand this, Gao Zhan understands it, and even His Majesty understands it. So when you asked at the beginning, His Majesty didn't get angry, but just ignored it. But if you keep asking again and again Asking him to issue an edict clearly, based on His Majesty's mood at the time, and his usual suspiciousness, I'm afraid he won't just ignore you. Besides, don't forget, the case of the inner prison being killed After King Yu came to intercede for you, in His Majesty's mind, he more or less suspected that you were partial to King Yu. At this time, you strongly requested to issue an imperial edict to put the crown prince to death...hehe..." Mei Changsu sneered Twice, "Is our Majesty very lenient? Is he considerate? Where would he be suspicious?"

Meng Zhi took a breath of cold air, as if he had just recovered.

"Your Majesty's intention to postpone the urgent matter, that Eunuch Gao is clear, so he stopped you, it is really a kindness, shouldn't you return the gift and thank him?"

"Hearing what you said, I really should thank him." Meng Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "But why did Gao Zhan help me? Although we don't have any friction on weekdays, we are not particularly friendly."

Mei Changsu smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Yan Zhen who was naturally silent: "I will ask Her Royal Highness Princess Jing about this. By the side of the emperor, serving the emperor like a tiger, and being in such a sinister place like the harem, Gao Zhan is definitely wise and intelligent." Such a person. Concubine Jing can win such a person under her command, which really surprised Su."

"Mr. Su, you're too proud." Yan Zhen smiled and nodded, "It's just because of the shadow of my ancestors. Gao Zhan has some connections with my mother's family."

Yan Zhen stopped talking, and Xiao Jingyan also knew that she rarely mentioned her mother's past, so she changed the subject.

"Now the East Palace is claustrophobic. What should we do next?"

"Four words, wait and see." Mei Changsu said decisively, "The so-called abnormality is a demon, assuming that you are not involved in party disputes, you will do what you would do in the face of the current situation. The commander-in-chief strictly guards the East Palace, As long as you fulfill the holy will, His Royal Highness Prince Jing will handle his errands seriously, and still ignore the prince Yu Wang as before. At this time, whoever makes trouble will be in trouble. What I told Yu Wang just now is to "act carefully in secret ’, but in fact the most correct way is to do nothing. Your Majesty needs to be quiet at this time, and whoever can calm down will favor him. Isn’t it the same in the palace?”

"Mr. Su, don't worry, my mother is the quietest person in the palace." Xiao Jingyan nodded, and heard Meng Zhi say something again.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yu Wang not to cause more trouble." Meng Zhi said with a smile.

After the matter was probably settled, Prince Jing and his wife stood up first to end the meeting.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when he turned around after saying goodbye, Mei Changsu quickly winked at Meng Zhi.

The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army is still thinking about Mei Changsu's various analyzes just now, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while, until he silently made a mouth shape, and suddenly remembered one thing he told him a few days ago, and suddenly understood come over.

"By the way, Your Highness," seeing Xiao Jingyan and the others walking to the door, Meng Zhi immediately said, "I wonder if you have finished reading the "Xiang Di Ji" that His Highness took here last time? I also flipped through that book a little bit, I find it very interesting, and I want to read it carefully to gain some knowledge, I wonder if Your Highness can lend it to me for two days?"

"How can I find me? The owner of the book is Mr. Su. If you want to borrow it, you should borrow it from him, right?" Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "As long as Mr. Su agrees to borrow it, I will give it to you."

Mei Changsu said with a smile: "It's just a book, whoever likes to read it can read it. If Commander Meng doesn't mention it, I will almost forget it."

"What book?" Yan Zhen asked curiously.

Xiao Jingyan looked at her and replied: "It's a travelogue, very detailed and interesting. But Meng Qing has to wait for two days. This book is now with my mother and concubine. I will bring it over in two days when I enter the palace to pay my respects." .”

Mei Changsu's gaze jumped, and he asked in surprise, "Why... at Concubine Jing's place?"

"Although my mother and concubine are quiet by nature, they have traveled to many places before entering the palace. Now they are trapped in the palace and are bored every day, so they have always loved reading travel notes. Mr. Su's book is a rare masterpiece. I just mentioned it casually. Concubine Mu is very interested in reading it. She has read this book for half a month, and she must have finished it. Since Commander Meng wants to read it, I just remember to take it back next time."

Meng Zhi asked Mei Changsu to return this book, not because he wanted to read it himself. Hearing what Xiao Jingyan said, and seeing Mei Changsu's calm face, as if he was wearing a quiet mask, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, but Unable to say anything, he could only say "Oh" and "Thank you", and accompanied Xiao Jingyan out from his side.

Yan Zhen saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, she felt that Mei Changsu was very nervous about the book, and she also noticed that it was really strange that Meng Zhi suddenly came to borrow the book.

Meng Zhi's strangeness, I believe Xiao Jingyan also noticed it.

The relationship between Meng Zhi and Mei Changsu couldn't be compared to Xiao Jingyan, Yan Zhen took a breath and put one hand on his head.

Xiao Jingyan saw her supporting her so quickly, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"

Yan Zhen waved her hand, her face was a little pale, she looked up at Meng Zhi vaguely, the latter immediately understood and excused herself to leave.

Xiao Jingyan didn't have time to care about Meng Zhi at all, so he responded, and after Meng Zhi left, he picked up Yan Zhen and ran all the way back to the bedroom, even looking for someone to find the tortoise shell.

"Jingyan, Jingyan." Yan Zhen pulled Xiao Jingyan who was so nervous and flustered, "I just have a headache, it's nothing serious. The pain will pass after a while."

"Why do you have a headache?" Xiao Jingyan frowned tightly, his big hand was attached to her smooth forehead, his eyes were full of worry.

Yan Zhen pulled his hand down, pressed the throbbing forehead, and pursed her lips: "After all, it's not like when I was young, I didn't pay attention to my foundation. Now that I have pulled this problem, it's because I didn't know how to take care of it when I was young. You don't need to call me Tortoise, she is busy taking care of the children. I don't feel at ease without her."

Xiao Jingyan hesitated for a while, Yan Zhen saw that he was still worried, so she tugged on his sleeve, Li Dio smiled slightly: "I'll sleep for a while, don't call her."

Xiao Jingyan couldn't resist her, so he lay down in his clothes and hugged her into his arms, and said calmly, "I'll accompany you."

"Are you okay today?" Yan Zhen knew that since Xiao Jingyan became the Prince of Wuzhu, he became busier than ever. During confinement, he would visit Yan Zhen every night late at night. She is asleep.

"It's nothing important." Xiao Jingyan felt a little uneasy. He was most afraid of Yan Zhen's illness. In his impression, Yan Zhen's several serious illnesses almost killed her.

When she was two years old and got the epidemic, his third and fourth brothers also got sick at the same time. The third brother became disabled, and the fourth brother just left.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the death of a relative, and the fear of losing Yan Zhen had penetrated deep into his heart at that time.

Then came the time when she gave birth to Ajiu, when he rushed back from Beidi, he heard the news that she fainted after giving birth and almost collapsed.

Yan Zhen didn't know what Xiao Jingyan was thinking, she felt dizzy and fell asleep in her husband's arms.

The next morning, he got up early and went to court first. Soon after the Neiyuan decree came out and the court was still suspended today, Xiao Jingyan entered the harem through the Zhuque Gate to pay his respects to his mother and concubine.

Counting it, he hadn't seen Concubine Jing for nearly seven days. He heard that Emperor Liang was inside the first few times when he was outside the palace gate, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only salute outside the palace and leave.

Emperor Liang is still not in court today, and Xiao Jingyan is ready to not see him again, but when he arrives outside Zhiluo Palace, a female official comes out to welcome him in as soon as he is notified.

Concubine Jing received her son in the Xinuang Pavilion where she lived in her daily life. She was still wearing plain clothes and light makeup, and she had a soft smile on her face. After asking how warm she was, she ordered someone to bring her some refreshments, and watched her son eat with a smile.

"Ah Zhen, why didn't you come today?"

"Yesterday, she was unwell, and this girl refused to let Tortoise come to see her. I let her rest in the palace for a few days." Speaking of his wife, although Xiao Jingyan smiled, there was also some sadness between his brows.

"Could it be that Ah Qi and Ah Qi have suffered from some kind of illness. This woman, giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. Ah Zhen has always worked hard for you, so you have to take good care of her." Concubine Jing always loves her so much Yan Zhen said a little bit, hearing that she was ill, it was inevitable to ask more questions.

"Why isn't Father here today?" Xiao Jingyan asked casually after eating a piece of sesame cake.

"I heard... Xia Jiang came into the palace, His Majesty discussed things with him." Concubine Jing simply answered, and then handed a bowl of chestnut soup to her son, "Try this, it's newly made."

"Every time I come, my mother treats me like I have nothing to eat outside," Xiao Jingyan joked, "Since I can see my concubine at any time, I have gained weight without realizing it."

"Where is the fat?" Concubine Jing said softly, "As a mother, I only think that my son eats too little."

The bowl of chestnut soup was actually just a small bowl, and Xiao Jingyan drank it in just two sips, wiped his mouth with a towel, and said, "Mother, have you ever read the book of Xiangdi that I sent you last time?"

"It's over. Do you want to take it back?"

"A friend wants to see it too."

Concubine Jing got up, went to the compartment to bring the book in person, stared at the cover for a while, and then slowly handed it to her son.

"Mother...do you like this book very much?"

"Yeah..." Concubine Jing smiled slightly, her expression a little lonely, "It reminds me of some past years, old feelings... By the way, the annotations on this book were written by the Mr. Su you often said ?”

"Yes."

"Reading the words of the commentary, it should be a bright and generous man, but from what you said, it seems that this Mr. Su is a person with deep thoughts and good calculations?"

"Mr. Su is a multi-faceted person. Sometimes he is so cunning that it makes me feel chilly, but sometimes he also feels emotional." Xiao Jingyan raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "Why? Mother is very interested in him?"

"You have great ambitions. You want to avenge the grievances of your brother's loyal ministers, and you want to help the world to rectify the government. My mother is proud of you. It's a pity that I am weak and can't help you much. Of course, I only hope that there are honest and capable people around you. I can assist you in your success." Concubine Jing's eyes as clear as autumn water swayed slightly, and her tone was gentle, "This Mr. Su is very good in my opinion. He gave up the shortcut of Prince Yuwang and wholeheartedly helps you. Sincerely. You have always treated people fairly. I am very relieved. I have nothing to tell you. I just think that people like Mr. Su are rare. You should treat him more kindly than others. In short, no matter what the future holds, don’t forget He has supported your love from the beginning."

Xiao Jingyan listened quietly, pondered for a moment, took a deep look at his mother, and said slowly: "You said..."

"Ah?" Concubine Jing was slightly taken aback, "What?"

"Not long after my mother read this book, she specifically asked me about the annotators. Later, she also told my ministers to treat Mr. Su kindly and trust him more... Why did she repeat it today? Is it because I am afraid that my ministers will forget ?”

"That's it..." Concubine Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, and wiped the corners of her mouth gently with Ropa, "Once people get old, they tend to forget things, and they have to say things upside down several times. It seems that I Really old..."

Xiao Jingyan hurriedly got up and saluted, "Mother is in the prime of her life, why did you say that? It's all my son and minister who said something wrong, please forgive me, mother."

"Okay," Concubine Jing smiled angrily, "My own mother, why are you acting so frightened? I am relieved that you have grown up and have the ambition to take responsibility. I don't care about the outside things. Just keep yourself safe."

"Yes." Xiao Jingyan was about to comfort her a few more words, when a court lady appeared outside the palace gate and said loudly, "I'm sorry——"

"Come in and talk."

The palace maid lowered her head and frowned, came in and knelt down, and said: "A message has been sent from the Hall of Martial Ying, His Majesty has already started driving towards this side, please be ready to pick him up."

"Understood. You step back." Concubine Jing stood up unhurriedly, took two food boxes and handed them to Xiao Jingyan, and said, "Here are the medicinal snacks I prepared, one box is for you, and the other box is for you." , you bring it to that Mr. Su, and I thank him for his hard work in helping my son wholeheartedly."

Xiao Jingyan pursed his lips, stacked the two food boxes together, held them in his hand, took the Xiangdi diary on the table and put it in his arms, bowed to Concubine Jing again, and slowly withdrew.

In order to prevent collision with the holy driver, he deliberately walked through the side door, bypassed Huaisu Building, exited the Suzaku Gate from the opposite direction, and boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time in his mansion.

As soon as he got into the carriage and sat down, Prince Jing put the two food boxes aside and took out the Xiang Di Ji from his arms again. Thinking of Meng Zhi's strange behavior yesterday and his mother's abnormality, he felt suspicious.

What's so weird about this Diary of Xiangdi?When he accidentally borrowed a book from Mei Changsu at first, his expression faltered for a moment, like a crack appearing in a thousand-year-old ice layer, making people seem to have glimpsed a dark and deep secret door.
