Meilin Zangshu

After Chang Ting met, Mei Changsu suffered from the wind and cold and even expelled the cold poison that often recurred after the poison was pulled out. Doctor Yan took the pulse and asked the doctor for a long time, and finally decided to close the door to thank the guests and recuperate with peace of mind.After hearing the news, Princess Nihuang hurriedly came to visit her, but was blocked by Li Gang and others. She stopped for a long time, and finally left several instructions and countless others before leaving reluctantly.

King Jing came to visit when it was dark when he heard the news, but he couldn't see Mr. Su who was recovering from illness. He sighed and got up to leave. When he returned to the study of Prince Jing's mansion at night, he was a little restless for some reason.

Prince Jing looked at the hard bow of his old friend, and there was a rich and gentle look in his eyes that he didn't even notice, as if a young man in military uniform flashed in front of his eyes, and the eyes that raised his eyebrows and smiled at him after walking through the Yang with a hundred steps, were like the cold snow flying awe-inspiringly. A proud and unrestrained plum, with an elegant fragrance that captures the soul.

Xiao Jingyan stretched out his hand involuntarily, as if wanting to caress the boy's face, he called "Xiaoshu" softly, and there was a hint of secret lingering in his obsessive eyes.Only a moment later, he touched the cold bowstring of the hard bow, and the chill suddenly spread from his fingertips to his limbs, which made him shiver.

He hurriedly came back to his senses, and his breathing became disordered. At this time, there were three knocks on the door of the study, and Lie Zhanying's voice came steadily: "Your Highness, Shen Zhui from the Ministry of Finance sent a message from Lord Shen."

Xiao Jingyan collected himself, "Come in."

Lie Zhanying pushed the door open, and respectfully reported Lord Shen Zhui's letter.

Before he left, he seemed to glance at the hard bow on the wall of his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and no one noticed the gloomyness that slipped through his eyes.

The former Minister of the Household Department, Zhijing, fell due to the case of hiding corpses in Lanyuan, and the new one is Shen Zhui, the former servant of the Household Department who did not get along well with Prince Yuwang. Unexpectedly, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan met him by accident after returning to Beijing. After chasing Shen Zhui, the two had a deep friendship in private, so much so that when Shen tracked down the private gun room set up by Zhijing, the former minister of household affairs, and the prince, he immediately came to inform Prince Jing.

Shen Zhui was not the only one who discovered the private gun room, but Mr. Shisan from Miaoyinfang and others.After Jiang Zuomeng's subordinates at the wharf reported the news of the black fire inside the lost official ship to Mr. Shisan, everyone in Miaoyinfang began to search around, and finally led out of the private gun room under Tonglu's careful search.

Gong Yu was most worried about Mei Changsu's safety, and when he received the news, he begged Mr. Thirteen to let her disguise and go to Su's house to deliver the letter. Report to the messenger in the name of delivering food.

At this time, Mei Changsu had survived the recurrence of the cold poison. Although his body was still weak, he was able to get out of bed and walk around.After listening to Tong Lu's words, he arranged for him to let Qin Banruo find out anything about the private gun house, but he should pay attention to the way the information is passed, and don't let Qin Banruo follow the clues to find out the identity.

After Tong Lu took orders to leave, Mei Changsu, wearing a fox fur, quietly watched the snow falling in front of the window.The pine and bamboo in the courtyard are verdant, and the greenness is forced to flow green by the white snow, just like clear jade, while the cold plum blossoms on the other side are fragrant and pleasant.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, came together before the New Year. Yujin bickered and joked with Jingrui all the way, and when he saw Mei Changsu, he saluted with a smile on his face, and then delivered the door-to-door gift.What he brought were fresh oranges shipped directly from Lingnan. Although it was a gift to Mei Changsu, after he was seated, his hands seemed to be restlessly peeling the skin and eating the flesh, and a small mountain piled up before him.

Jing Rui was afraid that he would not be healthy if he ate too much, so he grabbed his wrist and said, "Eat less, and be careful of stomach upset at night."

Yujin blinked at him, "I have a stomachache, what are you so concerned about?"

Jing Rui was blocked by him for a while and didn't know how to answer. Mei Changsu smiled and watched the two of them bickering, and didn't intervene to smooth things over. He just looked at Fei Liu next to him time after time.What puzzled him was that Fei Liu, who always loved melons and fruits and sweets, not only did not touch the fresh oranges sent by Yan Yujin, but even refused Mei Changsu's hand-feeding.

Mei Changsu put down the orange meat, and asked with concern, "Fei Liu, what's the matter with you?"

Fei Liu frowned and looked at Orange, "Not good!"

Yan Yujin was confused, "What's wrong?"

Fei Liu frowned more and more tightly, "It's just not good!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and flew out of the courtyard. Mei Changsu looked away from his back, and then slowly looked at the orange meat in hand.Yan Yujin on the other side still looked puzzled, "What's wrong with Fei Liu?"

Xiao Jingrui handed him a cup of tea with a smile, and said, "Maybe Feiliu ate too much sweets today, so please shut up and don't be greedy." Yan Yujin said indifferently, "There are still more at home, father this year Staying in the capital for the New Year, and specially ordering so many fruits and melons, if you don't eat them, you will be sorry for the kindness of the old man."

"Okay, okay..." Xiao Jingrui couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "You are the most reasonable, you are the most reasonable."

After chatting with Yujin, he looked up and saw Mei Changsu's seemingly absent-minded expression on his face, and asked, "Brother Su, what's wrong?"

Mei Changsu smiled lightly: "It's nothing, by the way, Yujin, you just said that these melons and fruits were ordered by Yanhou himself, didn't he do this in previous years?"

Before Yan Yujin could answer, Xiao Jingrui, who knew him well, took the lead and said, "Yanhou used to pray for New Year in Taoist temples in the suburbs of Beijing, and rarely got together with his father and son, so he has been with me in Yujin for the past few years. together."

Yan Yujin muttered in a low voice, "Why do these words sound weird to me?"

Xiao Jingrui raised his hand, clasped his knuckles and knocked him lightly, "What, did I say something wrong? Don't you spend New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival with me these few years?"

Yan Yujin was struck by him, and immediately rushed over to fight back with his teeth and claws. The two young men fought for a long time, bickering with each other and making real and fake moves, naturally they didn't notice the side The deep meaning in the smiling Mei Changsu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

As soon as the two partners left, Queen Yu arrived at the residence.

He was concerned about Mei Changsu's condition, and he wanted to comfort Mei Changsu to calm down and recover from his injuries. He had just said that for a while, and suddenly the slaves of Prince Yu's Mansion rushed in to deliver a message, saying that when all the concubines in the harem visited the empress, The empress suddenly fell ill and passed out on the spot.

King Yu suddenly turned pale with shock, hurriedly left with a word, sir, take care.

Mei Changsu squinted his eyes and thought secretly, how could it be that Hou Ye was just about to return to Beijing for the New Year, when his own sister, Queen Yan, just happened to fall ill?

Li Gang got the suzerain's order to secretly investigate the queen's illness, and even exchanged one or two prescriptions from the imperial hospital to verify whether the suzerain's guess is true.In the evening of that day, His Highness Prince Jing walked out from the passage of the secret room, not only visited the sick, but also brought a piece of news.

Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness is saying that the empress has been poisoned by the kudzu grass?"

Prince Jing nodded and said: "At that time, my mother and concubine were visiting the queen with all the empresses, and the symptoms of the disease were clearly seen. Afterwards, the mother and concubine also recognized the smell of kudzu grass from the jade cups and jade cups that the empresses drink daily. This kind of Herbs are not fatal after being eaten, but they can make people feel drowsy, and they can be safe for at most seven or eight days."

Mei Changsu's eyes moved slightly, "East Palace is the biggest suspect for the Queen's poisoning, but the Queen has been fighting with them for so many years, so naturally she won't let down her vigilance easily, how could she be caught carelessly this time? It doesn't itch, but it just makes people stay in bed and recuperate?"

Prince Jing opened his mouth slightly, with a bit of surprise on his face, "Sir, what you mean is that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Yue? But... but in this way, who can easily extend their palms into the harem, Make a fuss about the mother of a nation?"

Mei Changsu recalled Yan Yujin's repeated words for no reason. He took a deep look at Xianju, who was despised by Fei Liu as "not good", and said with a somewhat inexplicable deep meaning in his voice, "I think it should be that one." .”

Prince Jing took a deep look at Mei Changsu, and suddenly felt that the young Jiangzuo Meilang was like a spider with fangs and a huge mouth, and the spider webs he had woven were all over the world, and no one could escape.He endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Su, aren't you afraid that others will plot against you if you plot against others like this?"

Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since it's a scheme, there are naturally times when I'm used as a pawn to be manipulated by others, but such opportunities are rare." He motioned to King Jing for the vegetable seller "Let's take that person as an example. His name is Tong Lu, and he is a subordinate of the Jiangzuo League. He is responsible for the transmission of Su Zhaiyi's news to the outside world. Although I trust him, I have placed his parents and family members in the same place." In Langzhou. It is my sincerity to entrust Tonglu with a heavy responsibility, and it is my means to entrust his family to Jiang Zuomeng's care."

Prince Jing frowned, turned his head and stared at him: "Does Mr. Su have to say everything he has done so cruelly?"

Mei Changsu poured a cup of hot tea, and smiled faintly, "I was originally a ruthless person."

He put down the teacup, raised his hand and approached the brazier, as if he was catching the dancing flames, "A unicorn will not be blind in choosing its master. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can use any means to test me and tempt me. It doesn't matter."

"Because I know what I am loyal to... I never, never thought of betrayal."

In the dancing flames in front of Mei Changsu's eyes, there seemed to be a figure flashing, elegant and handsome, arrogant and talented.

The black fur, the white snow, and the red plums on the branches are all a foil, but they can't match one ten-thousandth of the elegance of that person's eyebrows and eyes.

On the second day, Mei Changsu left Su's residence without telling Dr. Yan, and went directly to Yanhou's residence. Yujin Jingrui happened to be playing polo, and both of them happened to meet Mei Changsu when they went out.When Yujin heard that Brother Su came to look for his father, he smiled and said: "Brother Su came by a coincidence, father just happens to be going home today, please trouble Brother Su for a moment, my father will be back soon."

After half a stick of incense, Lord Yanhou finally appeared.In his prime, he has an elegant air, his eyes are piercing, and his figure is as tall and straight as the green bamboos and cypresses in the courtyard.If it is said that Mei Changsu is elegant and elegant, and has the talent of sick and weak books, then Yanhou is the proud and straight chrysanthemum in autumn, like a pine and a cypress, which is invulnerable to wind and frost.

Yan Yujin introduced Mei Changsu to his father, and then retreated out of the door thoughtfully, leaving his father to chat with Brother Su.

These days, although he is happy that his father can return to Beijing for the New Year this year, every time he sees his father, he is keenly aware that his father seems to have something buried in his heart.It was a secret that could not be shared with family members and beloved children.He wanted to ask many times, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Now Brother Su came to discuss secret matters with his father. Although he also didn't understand what the matter was, he had an intangible and strong intuition telling himself, Brother Su is the one who can solve his father's secret.

Sure enough, this intuition was not wrong.

After Mei Zhang and Su Mitan left, Yan Hou was silent in the room for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh.

When he opened the door and walked out, Yan Yujin suddenly noticed that the faint sorrow on his father's brows had disappeared at some point, as if he had suddenly unloaded a burden, or as if he had spoken out a secret that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. .

He happily ran to him and called his father.

Yan Hou responded with a smile, and raised his hand to stroke his hair.

The rare act of intimacy made Yan Yujin's eyes burn instantly, Yan Hou patted him on the shoulder, and called out "Yujin" in a warm tone.Yan Yujin quickly restrained his expression, and smiled at his father embarrassedly. He looked in the direction where Brother Su was leaving, and said softly, "Father and Brother Su have chatted for so long, and it's almost time for lunch. The child is already gone." Asked someone to prepare the meal, father...should we stay and eat, or continue watching?"

Yanhou smiled and nodded, "I'm staying in the residence today, we father and son may not have spoken for a long time."

Yan Yujin's heart was filled with joy immediately, he nodded again and again, flustered with joy, "Then I... that kid, I'll go and order my servants."

This meal made Yan Yujin once again feel the warmth of father and son that was rarely seen in adulthood.

He clinked glasses with Yanhou to toast, his eyes full of genuine smiles.Yan Hou glanced at his son, who is now an adult, and silently recalled in his heart the appearance when he had a lip-to-mouth confrontation with that Jiangzuo Meilang not long ago.Using the official ship that transported melons and fruits to bring black fire to Beijing, and pushed out the prince's private cannon house as a cover, but privately planned to use gunpowder at the end of the year to completely kill those who harmed Le Yao, Jing Yu, and others. He killed brother Lin Xie and Xiaoshu's family, the Nine-Five Supreme Being... However, Jiang Zuo Meilang's words awakened him completely like enlightenment. If Emperor Liang was murdered for his own selfishness, the whole world of Liang would be in chaos. The southern Chu and Dayu must wait for the opportunity to move!

At that time, there will be millions of dead bodies, bloodshed, countless wives and children of the common people, and all the culprits will be his selfish desire for revenge.

Mei Changsu's resounding words echoed in Yanhou's heart, "Master Hou disregarded the world for his own selfishness, but have you ever thought about Yujin's fate?" Chill out.

After all, Yan Yujin was a bit more sensitive. After realizing it, he thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Father seems to be a little strange today, but he is not feeling well?"

Yanhou waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just settled some matters in my heart after talking with your brother Su." He paused, and Jiangzuo Meilang's righteous words seemed to flash before his eyes again, "I When talking with that brother Su of yours, I always feel that he seems familiar, just like...just like Xiao Shu back then."

When Yan Yujin heard that name, he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, "Brother Lin Shu?"

Yan Hou nodded, and said: "Yes, Xiaoshu young Feiyang is extremely intelligent, and he has become more eloquent after joining Mr. Li Chong's school. If he is still alive, I think he will definitely be with your brother Su." Make friends." He sighed softly, and said again, "Speaking of Xiaoshu, he made a marriage contract with our Yan family before he was born. If you were a girl, I'm afraid you would have married long ago. The Lin family has become the young lady..."

Yujin originally wanted to answer, "It's a good thing I'm a boy, and it's a good thing I didn't marry into the Lin family", but remembering the unfortunate things that happened in the Lin family now, he swallowed his words.

Yanhou seemed to be a little dazed, and said to himself: "I remember that brother Lin Xie seemed to have mentioned before that the confidantes and friends he made by chance in the world also had the idea of ​​marrying their fingertips. At that time, Xiao It is interesting that Shu has already become the predestined son-in-law before he was born."

His eyes became softer, and some pictures flashed before his eyes.

"...Xiao Shu?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Shu stopped hurriedly and saluted seriously, saying, "Uncle Yan."

And Li Zhinian's Yan Que had a handsome face, and his temperament like a pine and cypress was hard to ignore. He looked at the young man who was somewhat similar to Le Yao, and smiled slightly: "The look is tired and sad, and the eye sockets are red and swollen. Why? Did it? Could it be that brother Lin Xie punished you again?"

Lin Shu forced a smile and said, "Uncle Yan is thinking too much."

Yan Que was planning to go back to the Hou's mansion to take care of some affairs, but suddenly he was not in a hurry to leave. He raised his hand to signal Lin Shu to the old pavilion by the stream not far away, and then walked over first.Lin Shu couldn't refuse, so he followed behind him with his head down.

After taking his seat, Yan Que carefully scrutinized Lin Shu's frustrated expression, suddenly turned his eyes, and guessed: "Xiao Shu, did you have a fight with someone?" Lin Shu lowered his head slightly, remained silent, and after a while When Yan Que was about to ask again, he suddenly heard the young man in front of him speak clearly:

"Uncle Yan, Lin Shu wants to ask Uncle about something."

Seeing the seriousness on his face, Yan Que couldn't help but sit upright, and replied seriously: "Speak, I will know everything without saying anything."

"I have a friend..." Lin Shu said in a low voice, "he recently fell in love with someone, and he wanted to present the most beautiful things in the world in front of his lover, just for a smile or a word from him. But not long ago, obviously The person who was in love with my friend refused his love and said that he was going to get married soon, which made my friend lose his mind. My friend was sad and smashed the gift coefficients collected from all over the world Yitong... Uncle Yan, do you think that my friend should give up his heart as the person he admires thinks, or should he continue to express his affection to the person he loves?"

In the early years, Yan Que went to the enemy's tent alone, lobbying the Rong people from all over the world with his sharp mouth, and solved the crisis of Daliang being besieged by the alien coalition forces with his intelligence and courage. He is an extremely intelligent person, but he guessed the story in the blink of an eye. Who are the friends and admirers in .

He sighed a long time, stood up and looked at the stream beside the pavilion, his eyes were a bit sad and sad in deep thought, "Love is possession and restraint. I want to completely occupy everything about the person I admire, but I also want to restrain myself not to overdo it." Moment, so that she can be at peace."

Lin Shu could not help but glance at Yan Que.

This young and strange man leaned on the railing and looked at the flowing water, his eyes were full of sorrow, "I also fell in love with someone once, and I wished to hold the treasures of the whole world in front of her. I was afraid, and I also tasted the fear. But she married someone else in the end. I restrained my unwillingness day and night, telling myself that she was doing well, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, I still felt sad and sad. .”

Lin Shu stood up, and worriedly called "Uncle Yan".

Yan Que closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he turned around, his face had returned to normal.He quietly looked at Lin Shu, who still had Le Yao's look in his eyes, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Love is the most difficult problem in the world. You have to try it yourself to experience the taste. Xiaoshu, since your friend is sure that the person you admire has him in his heart, you might as well take a bold gamble. If you win, you will be in love with each other. It doesn’t matter if you lose. The big deal is to restrain yourself from now on Heart."

Yan Que looked at him deeply, and said with regret: "If I had been brave before she married, maybe today would have a different ending."

Lin Shu fell into a lengthy silence, his eyes were trembling, and his palms were involuntarily clenched.Finally, he nodded vigorously as if he had made up his mind, "I understand! Thank you, Uncle Yan, for your enlightenment!"
