Chapter 855 Beauty Trick, Prince Jing Becomes Prince, Empress Dowager Passes Away
A few days later, Niang Jun, who had agreed to Qin Banruo, came to the backyard street of Su Zhai under the leadership of Qin Banruo.

Today is the day Qin Banruo found out that Tong Lu would come to deliver food to Su Zhai.

The two were sitting in the tea room not far from the backyard of Su's residence. Qin Banruo told Junniang his real purpose for coming to her.

Niang Jun thought that Qin Banruo wanted her to use her beauty to defeat Mei Changsu, because her most powerful weapon is her beauty.

But Qin Banruo's words made her speechless, because the person Qin Banruo let him attack was actually a farmer who delivered vegetables to Su Zhai.

"Fourth sister, don't underestimate this guy who delivers food."

Junniang asked puzzledly: "Is there anything strange about this man? In such a big house, don't the people who deliver food, water, and fruit come and go frequently?"

Qin Banruo said: "This person is called Tong Lu. I have several broken eyeliners, all of which are more or less related to him. Fourth sister, think about it. Even if he meets you, the hero saves the beauty, he You can't just save the beauties in my hands, so Fourth Sister, you must help me with this favor."

"What's even more strange is that he is a vegetable seller who lives in a dilapidated yard. He is obviously an insignificant person, but even Uncle Qian couldn't find out more about his background, and he usually, often Among the few places I went, there was actually Su’s residence, and thinking about all the past, how could I not be shocked."

To be honest, her reaction was not fast. If it was Mei Changsu or her master, Princess Xuanji, she might have already noticed the problem.

And she has only reacted until now, if Princess Xuanji hadn't left her amazing hidden clues and channels before she died, she wouldn't be able to get to the current level at all.

Juan Niang asked suspiciously: "Are you sure that the failure of your red sleeve trick is really related to Su Zhai?"

Although she has not walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, she has also heard of the forces of the Jiangzuo League. If it weren't for Qin Ban's cowardly move, coupled with overt and secret threats, she would not be willing to come out and take this muddy water. .

"The Su residence is too mysterious. Uncle Qian has been investigating for such a long time, but there is nothing to gain. Thinking about the past, I dare to conclude that the decline of Hongxiu Zhao must have something to do with the Su residence."

"It's like what happened last year when Princess Nihuang was choosing a son-in-law. When our Hongxiu Zhao was assassinated, the person who was assassinated was Gong Ziyu, and Gong Ziyu often had contacts with Mei Changsu and had a very good relationship. I suspect that In the assassination incident, they were deliberately targeting us, but there was no evidence."

"Gong Ziyu? The Gong Ziyu on the master list and the young master list?" Junniang looked curious.

Qin Banruo nodded and said: "Yes, that's him. This person was originally a master of Langya's master list, with high martial arts skills. He was assassinated and injured in our red sleeve move inexplicably. I didn't think much about it at the time, but what happened like this After a lot of things, looking back now, I just feel cold all over my body."

"Gong Ziyu has an extraordinary relationship with Mei Changsu. Originally, I wanted you to charm him, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided to forget it."

"Why?"

Juanniang was puzzled, Gong Ziyu's ability to be on the list of young masters meant that he must have good looks, coupled with his high martial arts skills, no matter how you look at it, he was better than a rough guy like Tong Lu. If she had a choice, she certainly didn't want to choose Tong Lu.

Qin Banruo said: "Because Gong Ziyu has a flirtatious nature, but now he has an unmarried wife, and the other party is pregnant. It is very difficult to seduce him."

It is obviously easier to seduce a man without a woman than a knowledgeable man with a woman.

In order to convince Juanniang, Qin Banruo told all the things that happened to her in the past six months. In the end, Juanniang agreed to help her once, but it also stated that it was the last time.

On the outskirts of the capital, Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu stood in the farewell pavilion.

They have been to this place several times, and this time they came here to see off.

"I don't think Jing Rui would be happy to see me." Mei Changsu sighed quietly.

Zhou Chen said: "Jingrui is very open-minded, but what happened last time really made him feel cold, but he should be able to figure it out, give him some time."

Mei Changsu said: "How could I blame him, what happened last time was really because I was sorry for him."

This time Xiao Jingrui left Jinling City without any fanfare, just traveling with his younger sister Yu Wennian.

Not long after they left the capital, they met Yan Yujin, chatted with Yan Yujin for a long time, and when they were about to leave, they saw Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu standing in the pavilion.

Xiao Jingrui went straight to the pavilion without hesitation.

"Brother Yu, Mr. Su."

You can tell Xiao Jingrui's meaning from the title, he is still called Brother Zhou Chenyu, but Mei Changsu has changed from Brother Su to Mr. Su, the meaning of alienation is very obvious.

"Jing Rui."

Mei Changsu felt uncomfortable, but he was still very polite.

Zhou Chen walked up to Xiao Jingrui, and said softly, "Brother Su has something to tell you, you should have a good chat with him, I'll go and wait for you."

Xiao Jingrui nodded, then stayed in the pavilion, talking to Mei Changsu.

After a long time, Xiao Jingrui finished talking to Mei Changsu and walked to Zhou Chen's side.

"Brother Yu, this time we are leaving, I don't know when we will see you again."

"I believe it won't be too long. After all, Nanchu is only Nanchu, not your hometown. I believe you will return to the capital."

Xiao Jingrui smiled, Zhou Chen's words touched his heart, he went to Nanchu only to meet the so-called biological father, because that person was seriously ill, and he had to see him one last time.

But he never thought of living in Nanchu, just like what Zhou Chen said, Daliang is his home, and he will come back when things in Nanchu are over.

"Brother Yu, Qi'er's matter still threatens you, and Grandma Tai is also rescued by you, please do your best."

"Don't worry, Jing Rui, I just want to tell you that you are leaving. Don't blame Brother Su too much, he also has his difficulties."

Xiao Jingrui didn't pick up, but instead asked, "Brother Yu, have you known Brother Su for a long time? I don't think your relationship is like ordinary friends."

Zhou Chen said: "You can see that my relationship with Brother Su is indeed deeper than you imagined. It is precisely because of this that I understand him better. He really has no malice towards you. The reason why he dealt with Xie Yu is not only Not only for Yu Wang, but also to help me."

"Help you? Is it because of Miss Gong Yu?" Xiao Jingrui was astonished.

"Yes, just to help me, not just because of Gong Yu."

Zhou Chen didn't mention Mei Changsu, but only himself: "Gong Yu does have a grudge against Xie Yu, and I also have a deep grudge against Xie Yu. Jing Rui, to tell you the truth, I used to be of noble birth, and the reason why I was living in the world , was harmed by Xie Yu."

Xiao Jingrui's heart was shaken, he never thought that there was such a secret in it.

"Brother Yu, you..."

"Jingrui, I treat you as a close friend, so I told you this, and I only told you. My status is quite special, and I cannot avenge Xie Yu. Brother Su also helped me last time, so you also Don't blame Brother Su entirely, I am also responsible."

"I'm sorry, I don't know about these things, and I don't know that Brother Yu still has that kind of experience with you."

"It's okay, it's just what I said, and you need to keep it secret for me."

Xiao Jingrui said solemnly: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I will never reveal anything to anyone."

He used to find it strange that Zhou Chen was different from ordinary people in the Jianghu, he had a temperament and nobility beyond ordinary people, but now he was relieved when he heard Zhou Chen say that he used to be a powerful man.

Zhou Chen glanced at Jing Rui, and said seriously: "My identity, you may know my identity next time you return to the capital, I guarantee you will be very surprised."

Xiao Jingrui smiled casually, "Then I look forward to that day."

"Go, Jingrui, what you have encountered recently is just to make your life more exciting, and it will not become a stumbling block for you. You have to make your life better."

"Brother Yu, the thing I don't regret the most in my life is that I made you as a friend. I look forward to our next meeting."

Xiao Jingrui left, and Mei Changsu walked to Zhou Chen's side. The two watched Xiao Jingrui leave from afar.

Yan Yujin also came over on horseback, and then returned to the city with Zhou Chen and the others.

…………

Zhou Chen finished treating the Empress Dowager, saw the Empress Dowager falling asleep, and left the palace lightly without disturbing her.

As soon as he went out, he met someone.

"I have seen Concubine Jing."

A few days ago, King Jing Xiao Jingyan was proclaimed Prince, and Concubine Jing was promoted to Concubine Jing. Because of this incident, Prince Yu was very angry. He often complained to Mei Changsu every day, and secretly wanted Mei Changsu to help him find a way to deal with Prince Jing.

Mei Changsu was also very annoyed by Prince Yu, so he didn't persuade Prince Yu at all, he could only delay time, and at the same time told Prince Jing not to make a high profile recently, at least he must not stand out until the crown prince fell.

"Mr. Chen."

Concubine Jing looked at Zhou Chen softly, and asked, "How is the Empress Dowager?"

"The empress dowager has been very cooperative with the treatment recently, and her body is recovering very well."

"That's good, is Mr. Chen ready to leave the palace?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Jing nodded, and suddenly asked: "I heard that Mr. Chen is a good friend with Mr. Su Zhesu, who was famous in the capital a while ago?"

Zhou Chen's heart skipped a beat. Knowing the plot, he immediately knew the reason for Concubine Jing's question.

"Reporting to your mother, Brother Su and I are indeed good friends."

Concubine Jing smiled gently, and said: "Although I have never met Mr. Su, Mr. Chen has an extraordinary bearing. To be friends with Mr. Chen, Mr. Su must be extraordinary."

"Your Majesty, it's absurd. Caomin is just an ordinary person, but Brother Su is indeed radiant and heroic."

Zhou Chen didn't chat with Concubine Jing for long, and then left with an excuse.

But he already knew in his heart that Concubine Jing should have guessed the identities of him and Mei Changsu, so she came here to test him out today.

Presumably there was something wrong with Mei Changsu, otherwise Concubine Jing would not have come to him on purpose, she guessed and doubted Mei Changsu's identity, and thought that the Empress Dowager always called herself Xiaochen, this man of mental trickery was listed on the Langya List Among them is the top concubine Jing, so it is not difficult to guess his identity.

"Fortunately, she just guessed."

Concubine Jing guessed her identity, Zhou Chen was not very nervous, because he knew that Concubine Jing was with Mei Changsu and would never betray them, but he still wanted to tell Mei Changsu about this matter.

So after he left the palace, he went straight to the Su residence.

"What did you say, Aunt Jing guessed our identities?"

Mei Changsu stood up in shock when he heard Zhou Chen's words.

Zhou Chen said: "Well, after I treated the grandma today, Concubine Jing came to me, tried her words, and mentioned you. I knew right away, she must have known your identity from somewhere, and then associated with you." It's me, that's why I came here to test me today, no, it's a test, but it's actually a certainty."

Mei Changsu looked serious, and suddenly sighed, "I think I should know the reason."

"How to say?"

"I have a book called Xiangdi Ji, which was lent by Jingyan. A few days ago, I asked Brother Meng to ask for it, but Brother Meng said that Prince Jing had given that book to Concubine Jing. There is a note, and there are two words that deliberately avoid my mother's name. Jingyan doesn't know my mother's boudoir name, so I can't tell anything, but Aunt Jing and my mother are friends. Maybe you will see the clues."

"She came looking for you today, probably because she has become suspicious. After meeting you, she may be sure."

"I see."

Zhou Chen nodded, and there was no surprise on his face: "But you don't have to worry, Concubine Jing will never betray you, and Concubine Jing is extremely intelligent, let alone show her flaws."

Mei Changsu sighed: "Yes, Aunt Jing is smart, I am not worried, in fact, rather than worrying, I feel a sense of relief in my heart. Aunt Jing is like my relatives and elders. She knows that I am still alive, and I am not worried. And kind of happy."

Zhou Chen can understand Mei Changsu's psychology. If a person hides for too long, he will long for the light. Mei Changsu tries his best to hide himself, but in fact he also wants his relatives to know him. This kind of mood is very contradictory.

So he changed the subject and asked, "Has Xia Jiang thought of a way to deal with it?"

Mei Changsu shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Xia Jiang is much more difficult to deal with than Xie Yu. Although I have prepared myself mentally, it is still difficult to find a way to deal with it."

Zhou Chen said: "It's really not possible..."

"Hey, don't say it, I know what you want to say, I said Xiaochen, can we stop being so violent now?"

"I'm violent? Have you forgotten, who bullied me violently back then? Do you still have the face to call me violent?"

Mei Changsu said: "The past was the past, but now is the present. It may be easy to assassinate a Xia Jiang, but for us, this is not the goal."

Zhou Chen said: "You just think too much. According to my opinion, now that Princess Liyang has Xie Yu's handwriting, Xia Jiang's life and death are not that important anymore. As long as Xie Yu dies, we can definitely advance the plan. After finishing the work, you don't have to work so hard, and it's better for your body."

Mei Changsu resolutely said: "It's not enough now, the prince and Yu Wang have not yet fallen, especially now that Jingyan has become the Prince of Wuzhu, he has become a limelight in the court, which has attracted the attention of the prince and Yu Wang, which has led to the recent In the imperial court, the battle between the crown prince and Prince Yu has decreased, and Prince Jing has started to be targeted both openly and covertly."

Zhou Chen said lightly: "If Prince Jing can't even handle this setback, you can still count on him to do well when he becomes emperor in the future? So I think, you just worry too much, and now let Prince Jing It doesn't matter if you fight against the crown prince and King Yu, how can you grow under the wings of the prince?"

It is no exaggeration to say that if the present King Jing is able to stand out, [-]% of the success will be counted on Mei Changsu. Without Mei Changsu, let alone King Yu, even the crown prince, the three Jing Princes combined would not be able to fight. .

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. Jingyan's current status is not only due to me. He is also very capable. Don't underestimate him."

"I didn't underestimate him, but I was worried about you. You are like his nanny now. Believe it or not, if something happens in the future, you may be thankless and you will be targeted by him."

"Okay, I know you're doing it for my own good, but I'm aware of this matter. He has reservations and resistance to me. In fact, I'm happy to see him. This shows that he is still the same as before and has not changed. This is also true. The reason I chose him."

"Every time I tell you this, you always say that, I won't tell you anymore, I'm leaving, I'm going back to accompany Gong Yu."

Zhou Chen waved at Mei Changsu, and then left.

"Ah, ah."

Nie Feng waved his hands vigorously at Zhou Chen, and then said a few words to Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu said: "Brother Nie, I know what you mean, and you agree with Xiaochen's statement, but I have my own considerations, you have to trust me."

Nie Feng showed a helpless expression. He has been in the Su residence for half a year, so he naturally knows how stubborn Mei Changsu is now. Even Zhou Chen can't persuade him, let alone him.

The time soon came to July. Although Zhou Chen tried his best to prolong the life of the Empress Dowager, it was a pity that the time of the Empress Dowager had finally come to an end.

"Your Majesty, the grassroots are incompetent, please punish them."

Zhou Chen took the initiative to plead guilty to Emperor Liang, but how could Emperor Liang punish him at this time, he waved his hand.

"The empress dowager's time limit has come, how can you blame this, it is very rare for you to extend the life of the empress dowager by three months, not only innocent, but also meritorious."

Although he said that Zhou Chen was meritorious, he didn't mention the reward, because he was completely disturbed by the empress dowager's critical illness.

Finally, on the night of the second day, the empress dowager, who lived the longest in Daliang, passed away.

The death of the empress dowager caused a huge shock in the capital, and the whole city was in pain, and the whole country was in grief.

During the funeral, everyone from the emperor to the common people paid homage to the Empress Dowager, and all entertainment venues in the capital were closed.

Together with Mei Changsu, Zhou Chen knelt down to pay homage to the Su Manor. Ten days after the Empress Dowager passed away, Mu Nihuang, who was far in the south, also rushed back to the capital to attend the funeral.

…………

At night, Gong Yu sat on the side of the bed with her belly outstretched. Now that she was five months pregnant, she could no longer move freely as before, and she had to turn her side even when she was resting.

Zhou Chen was about to arrange her to rest when Gong Yu suddenly grabbed his hand.

"what happened?"

Gong Yu hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully: "In order to inquire about the news of the young master's mother, Princess Pingyang, I arranged someone at the princess's mansion. Recently, she reported the news, saying that since the princess learned of the death of the empress dowager, the princess has been eating and drinking. I don’t think, my mental state is very bad, and I’m a little worried.”

When Zhou Chen heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.
