Meilin Zangshu

The crown prince was abolished and relegated to the fiefdom as a dedicated king. Before King Yu was happy for two days, King Jing's will to be a prince came down. If it is a good gesture, remind Prince Jing to prepare a thank you form and receive a new crown uniform.After King Jing thanked Eunuch Gao for his advice, he ordered Lie Zhanying to see off the guests, and followed the procedure one by one.

In the early morning of the second day, Prince Jing was wearing the five-bead crown prince's fine attire, and the eyes of all the officials were shining with joy and surprise, and among them, Prince Yu's disgust was the most obvious.At this point, the prince's forces officially withdrew from the stage, leaving only Prince Yuwang of Qizhu and Prince Jing of Wuzhu.

In the harem, Concubine Jing's family became more and more prosperous, and Emperor Liang lingered in Zhiluo Palace almost every day, while Concubine Yue, who was still invincible back then, was gradually forgotten by Emperor Liang.During this period, Emperor Liang occasionally had night dreams, and Concubine Liang Chen, who had hanged herself, complained to him and cried every night. Emperor Liang suspected that there was still the soul of Concubine Chen in the harem, so he privately asked Concubine Jing, who had a deep friendship with Concubine Chen, to set up a mourning hall with incense and candles to pay respects to him every now and then. sacrifice.

King Yu's stay in Su's mansion was getting shorter and shorter. He seemed to realize that no matter whether he won or lost, Mei Changsu was still calm and calm, as if the signs of surrendering to King Yu were like a show from the very beginning.At the same time, Qin Banruo was also by his side repeatedly comforting him, saying that a year ago His Royal Highness Prince Yu was still in full bloom, and even the crown prince dared not speak directly, the Prince of Qizhu who was well-connected in the three provinces and six departments of the court, while Prince Jing was just a An ordinary county king without status, but since Qilin talent entered the capital, the crown prince and Yu Wang have lost both sides. Prince's vain title.

Qin Banruo persuaded: "To this day, His Royal Highness Yuwang still doesn't know who got the Qilin talent?"

King Yu let out a long sigh, finally realizing the truth.

At the same time, His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who had received the Qilin talent, had just finished handling the affairs. After all the soldiers resigned, Lie Zhanying took a step slower for some reason, looked at Prince Jing's tired face and said, "There are so many things to deal with every day. It's getting dark, His Royal Highness Prince Jing really worked hard."

He stretched his waist, but before he could make a sound, Lie Zhanying said, "Your Highness is tired all night, how about Zhan Ying to relax his muscles and bones for His Highness?"

Prince Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you used to relax my muscles and bones when I was marching and fighting."

Lie Zhanying lowered his head slightly, came behind Prince Jing with blushing cheeks, and rubbed his shoulders and back with gentle force.Prince Jing closed his eyes. Occasionally, when he was pressed comfortably, he couldn't help but let out a soft moan or two. Every time Lie Zhanying heard it, his ears would turn red.

Prince Jing closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then said softly, "You must be very tired after following me to deal with official duties every day, right?"

Lie Zhanying said: "We are not tired, and we are more energetic than before."

Prince Jing smiled with emotion, and then said: "Zhanying, you are the first person in the mansion to know that I have the intention of seizing the throne. Did you think I was crazy at that time?" Lie Zhanying stopped his palm movements, As if recalling the situation at that time, he slowly rubbed his shoulders for His Highness, and said softly: "Zhanying can't tell clearly, the situation was extremely unfavorable to His Highness at that time, even if Mr. It can't compare to the deposed prince and Yuwang who are in the sky. But since it is a matter of His Highness's decision, Zhanying will follow no matter what."

Prince Jing smiled, his handsome profile was deeply reflected in the depths of Lie Zhanying's eyes while the candlelight was beating.

"I know, that's why I only told you one person."

Lie Zhanying's heart was filled with sweetness, and his eyes were wet with uncontrollable emotion.

King Jing made a movement to get up, Lie Zhanying stopped immediately, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and then took half a step back.Prince Jing took two steps, and said quietly: "To be honest, I was also at a loss at the time, and I didn't know how to show the intention of seizing the heir to the people around me. For this reason, I specifically asked Mr. Su about this question."

Lie Zhanying asked, "How did Mr. Su answer?"

"Don't show it deliberately, they will find out when the time comes."

Lie Zhanying read this sentence twice in his heart, then nodded.

Prince Jing said softly, as if feeling emotional: "I think, even if I never lose power in the court, you old minions who have fought with me will never leave."

Lie Zhanying looked at him deeply, almost looking into his own eyes, the candlelight danced lightly, and his face was filled with determination: "Your Highness, Zhanying will never leave!"

That night, Lie Zhanying had many, many dreams, some of which were disorganized, and some of which were still fresh in his memory, but the only thing that disturbed him was when His Highness softly called out his name in the bright lights. that moment.

He suddenly woke up from his dream, dripping with cold sweat, and his legs were slippery.

Lie Zhanying took a breath, took a sip of cold tea, looked at the sticky underwear and couldn't help recalling the absurdity in the dream, he blushed handsomely, and then slapped himself hard .

Ever since Prince Yu recognized the truth that Prince Jing had obtained the Qilin talent, he has completely revealed his sharpness. Although the foundation of the six imperial courts has been damaged, he has been immersed in the court for many years, so he snatched the disaster relief at the end of the year .Shen Zhui from the household department is well aware of the tricks used by King Yu to provide disaster relief in the past years. He wholeheartedly felt sorry for the victims, so he visited Prince Jing's mansion at night and asked His Royal Highness Prince Jing to take this errand over.It's a pity that although King Jing tried his best to fight for it, in Emperor Liang's eyes, King Yu, who had many disaster relief experiences, was more suitable.

For this reason, King Jing went to the Su Mansion to find a solution. After Mei Changsu comforted him, he slowly revealed his plan.

Within three days, news came from Yuezhou, which was the most affected by the disaster, that the prefect of Yuezhou still seized 5000 taels of silver to give gifts to King Yu, but was robbed as soon as he left the boundary of Yuezhou. As soon as the 5000 taels of silver matter came out, the people of Yuezhou gathered in the yamen to appeal for grievances, and the Wanmin Letter was sent to the imperial palace in Jinling City.Emperor Liang was furious, severely reprimanded Queen Yu, and then handed over the full power of disaster relief to King Jing.

After returning to the mansion, King Yu was furious and smashed countless rare and antiques. Qin Banruo analyzed the current situation and pointed to the crux of the problem. With her suggestion, King Yu rekindled his fighting spirit and began to attack Prince Jing's weakness.

And Prince Jing's weakness is the Chi Yan case back then!

Qin Banruo builds a bridge for King Yu, and contacts Xia Jiang, the head of the Xuanjing Division who seems not involved in party disputes.Prince Yu and Prince Jing have long been rivals on the road to succession, and Xia Jiang was deeply disgusted by Prince Jing because of the Chi Yan case. Both of them do not want Prince Jing to ascend to the supreme throne.Xia Jiang later disclosed a piece of news, that is, he has found out a remnant of Chi Yan who has long been anonymous, and he will be arrested and escorted to Beijing in a few days.

At this time, King Jing, who left Beijing to deal with the disaster relief, had no idea that a conspiracy was about to sweep through.

In the Su residence, due to the cold weather, Mei Changsu fell ill several times on and off.He cooked and ate Dr. Yan's decoction almost three times a day, and every time he drank the medicine, Fei Liu would take out a piece of sweet pastry from his treasured pastry box and bring it to Mei Changsu's mouth with his own hands.

After seeing Mei Changsu taste the sweetness and soothe his brows, Fei Liu also happily ate it. With such consumption, within half a month, Fei Liu ate up all the pastries in a whole food box.

He pinched the sticky residue and sat in the corner with his mouth pouted.

Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing out loud, and ordered Zhen Pingli to go outside the mansion to buy more melon candied pastries, which made him smile.It just so happened that the first snow in winter was falling, and Fei Liu laughed loudly while biting on a candy cake, and flung himself across the courtyard. The loud laughter spread to the room, and everyone seemed to be in a much better mood.

Mei Changsu glanced lightly at Fei Liu's leftover food box, and couldn't help frowning.Zhen Ping was always observant, and when he saw the suzerain frowned, he asked with concern: "Sovereign, what's the matter? Is there any problem with this?"

Mei Changsu said: "Jingyan handed back that copy of "Xiang Di Ji" to me before he left Beijing. He also accidentally mentioned that Concubine Jing told him to take good care of me many times. There is also this food box, listen to the scene. Yan said that as long as Concubine Jing asks him to leave with pastries, I will definitely have a box of pastries, and what worries me most is that the contents of the two food boxes are exactly the same."

Li Gang didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Is there a problem with being exactly the same?"

Mei Changsu sighed softly, "I can't eat hazelnuts, you should know that."

Zhen Ping and Li Gang both nodded, "We know that Young Master Lin has told you many times that once the suzerain eats hazelnuts by mistake, he will feel sick all over his body, and he needs to pour medicine to spit them out. Even before Doctor Yan came, Mr. Lin has reminded me many times."

Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then every time Jingyan brought over pastries, have you ever looked at them carefully?"

Zhen Ping said "ah": "That's right! Because of the fact that the suzerain cannot eat hazelnuts, I personally checked the food boxes delivered by His Royal Highness Prince Jing every time. Now that I think about it, it is true that no hazelnuts appeared every time." Li Gang He rubbed his nose, "But hazelnuts are not a common ingredient in making pastries, so it's not unusual..."

"You don't know, Jingyan's favorite food is hazelnut cakes, and Concubine Jing will make some for him every three to five days."

Zhen Ping remembered what the suzerain said just now, "the contents of the two food boxes are exactly the same", and took a breath in a low voice: "If the contents of the food boxes are the same as the suzerain said, then it is not the case of Concubine Jing Was it because he was worried that His Royal Highness Prince Jing would mistakenly give his share to the suzerain after making the hazelnut cake, so he simply made two copies that were exactly the same?!"

Mei Changsu nodded slowly, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid I can't hide my identity from Concubine Jing..."

Tong Lu came to Su Mansion under the pretext of delivering food, and told Xia Jiang that Xia Dong seemed to have a different intention. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Zhen Ping looked at his back, and his pupils tightened uncontrollably.In the past, Tong Lu was so devoted to the suzerain because of the case of hiding corpses in Lanyuan, and he wished to stay longer when he came to the Su Mansion to deliver letters on weekdays. leave in a hurry.

Zhen Ping thought for a moment, and then reported it to the suzerain.

Mei Changsu ordered Mr. Shisan to investigate secretly, and then continued to plan how to deal with the matter between Xia Jiang and Yu Wang.

On the second day, the plum blossoms in Jinling City bloomed for the first time, the cold snow fell, and the winter plums were proud. Mei Changsu just stopped in the courtyard for a while before the cold poison relapsed.His illness was so severe that he fell into a coma that night. After doctor Yan checked his pulse, he immediately ordered the Su residence to close the door to thank the guests. Even Meng Zhi and Princess Nihuang came to visit, but they were stopped outside .

After Xia Jiang heard the news, he couldn't help being overjoyed. Mei Changsu fell ill, King Jing didn't come back for disaster relief, His Majesty went to Weiling again, and Xia Qiu also arrested the remnants of the Red Flame Army. God gave him a great opportunity to bring down King Jing!

Within a few days, Xia Jiang's lover Xia Qiu spread the news to Jinling City that Wei Zheng, the remnant of the Red Flame Army and the former deputy general of the Red Feather Battalion, had been arrested and brought to justice.Zhen Ping, Li Gang and others were in a hurry, but the suzerain was in a coma and recuperated all day long, so they had no choice but to plan a rescue on their own.Of course, this rescue operation was within Xia Jiang's expectations. Rao Zhen Ping and Li Gang fought hard with all the masters of the rivers and lakes, but they failed to rescue Wei Zheng.

Upon hearing the news, King Jing hurried back to the capital immediately, but the mountains were high and the road was far away, so he couldn't make it back in time.During this period, the queen, who was instructed by King Yu, found a false excuse and imprisoned Concubine Jing in Zhiluo Palace. She also specially released a little maid to go to Prince Jing's mansion to report the news.

King Jing was not in the mansion, Lie Zhanying was also at a loss for what to do, but it happened that Mr. Su fell seriously ill at this time and closed the door to thank the guests.He thought hard for a long time, and finally, under the reminder of the little maid, he sent Qi Meng to rush to Weiling to deliver a letter to His Majesty.It's just that on the way, a person who claimed to be sent by Mr. Su blocked Qi Meng's way. He only said that Mr. Su had his own clever plan to bother Concubine Jing's grievances for a few days, so that when His Majesty returns to Beijing in the future, the Queen will be reprimanded more and more.After saying that, the man beat Qi Meng unconscious to the ground.

On the other hand, Qin Banruo's beauty trick also paid off. Under the threat of the life of his beloved, even though Tong Lu was extremely sad and indignant, he had no choice but to put down his weapon with hesitation.

So far, Mei Changsu and Prince Jing have lost countless steps unconsciously.

Fortunately, Mei Changsu's cold poison finally went dormant again after a few days.

After waking up, he listened to Zhen Pingli's report about Wei Zheng, propped up his weak body to take care of it, and re-formulated the method of rescuing Wei Zheng.It's just that the Su Manor thanked all guests during his recuperation period, so he didn't know the inside story of Concubine Jing being embarrassed by the empress, so that King Jing, who hurried back to the capital, first learned of Wei Zheng's arrest in the court hall, and then got him in Zhiluo Palace. Knowing that Mei Changsu ignored Concubine Jing's embarrassment, under anger, he suppressed his anger and came to the secret road to meet Mr. Su.

Mei Changsu didn't know the inside story of Concubine Jing's embarrassment, and only persuaded him as a counselor to give up helping Wei Zheng. Prince Jing took a deep breath, and his anger finally couldn't be suppressed, and broke out completely.King Jing directly swung his sword to cut off the copper bell in the secret passage, even though Mei Changsu knelt down and begged for persuasion, the anger in his heart could not be extinguished.

Prince Jing angrily left the secret passage, walked out of the study and looked at the sky full of snow, suddenly feeling sad.

I thought this counselor was different from others, but I didn't expect that his nature is calculating, ruthless and cold-blooded, even if his mother is in danger, he can lightly ignore it, and then use it as a bitter plan to fight back against the king and queen.Prince Jing inexplicably smiled wryly, his heart was so astringent and uncomfortable, in vain that he once had a feverish feeling that Mr. Su looked very similar to Xiaoshu back then, but now it seems that such a ruthless and cunning schemer is not even worthy of carrying Xiaoshu's shoes!

Standing behind him, Lie Zhanying looked at His Highness's mournful expression, feeling as if his heart was clenched.He sighed insignificantly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Zhan Ying feels that Mr. Su is sincerely helping His Highness, perhaps it is because Mr. Su's injuries and illnesses are unavoidable that Mr. Su's actions are somewhat inappropriate these days, besides, Mr. Su also knelt down to persuade him to stay..."

Prince Jing closed his eyes, looking tired: "At that time, when the princess was in danger, I made an agreement with him on the tall building for three chapters, not to hurt the people close to me, and not to hurt those innocent people. But today, he is like As iron-blooded and cold as before..."

Lie Zhanying said: "However, His Highness cut off Mr. Su's way, how can we rescue Wei Zheng?"

"Without him, can't I save Wei Zheng?!" Prince Jing frowned, "What he said in the secret way just now meant to save Wei Zheng?!"

King Jing was in a chess group and couldn't see the ins and outs of what happened, but Lie Zhanying, as an outsider, could see it clearly, and he boldly replied: "But Mr. Su didn't say anything wrong, he is just a strategist , I don’t understand His Highness, we don’t understand our friendship with Wei Zheng, and the Chiyan Army. As a counselor, he persuaded His Highness to give up saving Wei Zheng, which is the correct way to help His Highness win the succession.”

Prince Jing glared at him viciously, and the veins on his forehead burst out of anger.Lie Zhanying quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake, and persuaded him patiently for a while. Prince Jing's anger gradually subsided, and he gradually understood Mei Changsu's departure as a counselor.But in Prince Jing's heart, Mei Changsu's ignorance of Concubine Jing's troubles was still stuck in his chest like a stone, and he could not get relief for a long time.

At this moment, the officers and men under his command sent a message, saying that Mr. Su from Su Zhai came to visit.

Mei Changsu braced his sick body, and when the wind was blowing and freezing, his sick body was shivering.Fei Liu supported him to stand on the porch, Zhen Ping on the side was heartbroken to see that such a majestic King Jing would let the Sovereign, who had just recovered from a serious illness, wait in the snow for half an hour without even giving him a brazier!

In the end, Ting Sheng, who had heard the news, rushed over and brought Mei Changsu a fox fur stove, and waited for Prince Jing by his side.Lie Zhanying also repeatedly comforted King Jing, and King Jing let him dry for half an hour, and most of his anger was gone, so he got up and went to see Mei Changsu.In the snowstorm, Mei Changsu told the various endings of rescuing Wei Zheng, and finally even said in an assertive tone: "If His Highness insists on going his own way to rescue Wei Zheng, not only will he lose what His Highness has now Everything, and it will still make the dead souls of the Red Flame Army still bear the name of rebellion and cannot be washed away."

King Jing swung his fist angrily and hit the stone pillar hard, but deep in his heart, there was a voice that kept saying, "Mei Changsu is right! He is right!"

Lie Zhanying looked at the pale-faced and sharp-tongued Mei Changsu, and at the sad and indignant Prince Jing, the worry in his eyes was clearly visible.

After Mei Changsu pointed out the key point, he promised in a good voice and kindly that if His Highness Prince Jing wanted to rescue Wei Zheng, he had to let himself take full control of it.It took half an hour for Prince Jing to forcefully dissipate the anger in his heart, and invited Mei Changsu to come in for a while.

Meng Zhi rushed to Prince Jing's mansion in a hurry, comforted Prince Jing on the left, comforted Mei Changsu on the right, talked kindly for a while, and finally let the tension between the two people no longer be.Mei Changsu suggested that to save Wei Zheng, one had to be contacted in advance, and that was Xia Dong, who now knew the truth of the year. He originally recommended himself to persuade Wei Zheng, but was stopped by King Jing.

He said: "If Mister goes, I'm afraid Xia Dong will think that Mister is a lobbyist for me instead of sincerely trying to save Wei Zheng. It's better for me to go."

Mei Changsu laughed at himself: "That's right, I'm a strategist after all."

At this moment, Prince Jing had suppressed his anger, and when he heard this self-deprecating remark, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something.He glanced at Mei Changsu and said, "I don't mean anything else."

Seeing that they seemed a little awkward in their conversation, Meng Zhi interrupted and changed the subject, asking, "Where's Fei Liu? Why didn't you see Fei Liu?"

Mei Changsu's face was still pale after such a long time, he forced a smile and said, "Maybe he went to play in the backyard with Tingsheng."

Prince Jing's heart moved. He remembered that Tingsheng had just added clothes for him and sent him to the furnace. He thought of Mei Changsu who had just recovered from a serious illness and carried it in the snow for half an hour. Guilt crept into his heart silently. .
