Chapter 169: Identity

At first glance, when he heard his name and was called out as before, Xiao Jingyan was surprised, emotional, and happy, and his heart surged hotly, and the hot lumps were blocked in his throat, but he didn't want to show too much excitement, which made his friends sad to see it, so his face changed several times for a while, and finally he couldn't settle down safely.

Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be too considerate of me, I can crawl out of the sea of blood in Meiling and walk here, where is it so fragile?" It is inevitable to feel hurt in front of you, but if you blindly indulge in misery and grief and can't extricate yourself, then it is not my ......"

This sentence simply said to Xiao Jingyan's heart, and he immediately said happily: "If you can think about it, I can rest assured, in fact, you haven't changed much, just be quiet, everyone is getting older, this is also how it should be, you look at me, I don't love to mess with you as much as I did back then." As long as people are still changing, what does it matter? After this case is overturned, you are still Lin Shu and I am still Jing Yan, and we can still ...... the same as before."

"Jing Yan" Mei Changsu shook his head and interrupted him, "It's impossible, no matter how thoroughly this case is overturned, I can only be Mei Changsu, and I can never be Lin Shu again......"

"Why?" Xiao Jingyan's thick eyebrows jumped, and he stood up suddenly, "As long as the stigma is cleared, of course you can get back your original identity, who would dare to say anything about it......"

"You listen to me," Mei Changsu motioned for him to sit down again with a calm gaze, "What kind of person Su Zhe is, how he used to travel between the crown prince and the king of Yu, the whole capital knows." He is a man of treachery, who does tricks. Although it is a power-grabbing weapon, it is not the right way to go......"

"But ......"

"Jing Yan" Mei Changsu couldn't help but say it. Immediately cut him off "For me." Overturning the case is the end, I can see that this day is already very satisfying, but for you, clearing the old case is just the beginning, and you have to sweep away the accumulated evils. The decline of the Liang, which has strengthened the country, protected the people, and revitalized the people for decades, has also been a clear and frank situation in the world. In order to achieve this goal, you need a perfect start, the dead heroic spirit is above, and I also hope to see you in the hearts of the people of the world, a sentient and righteous, fair and selfless monarch, a person like Su Zhe must not become a favored minister you value, this will make the world misunderstand, the new monarch is still a person who loves checks and balances. Contrary to your and mine's original intentions. What's more, I have been acting in the capital for a long time in the name of Su Zhe. In the past two years, the turmoil has been more or less inseparable from me. Plus the description has been overhauled. There is no trace of the past on his body, just the evidence of several people. Suddenly saying that I am Lin Shu is shocking and unbelievable. Thinking that my 70,000 brothers are fierce and loyal, what I am looking forward to is Zhaoxue's day, if because of my own selfishness, the history of later generations is like a knife, and a clean and innocent act of redress has become a mystery that provokes speculation and is difficult to argue, then why did I come here after thirteen years of hard work? ”

"It's because of your thirteen years of hard work that I can't watch you be wronged again!" Xiao Jingyan finally couldn't help but retort: "If the people of the world misunderstand you, it is the stupidity of the people of the world, why should you mind?" ”

"To be honest, I really mind," Mei Changsu smiled gloomily, "Not only do I mind, I also hope you mind." People who don't take the evaluation of the world in their hearts don't know what self-reflection and restraint are, how can this be done? Besides, Lin Shu's identity is not necessarily a grievance. I've been used to Mei Changsu for more than ten years. Wouldn't it be nice to let Lin Shu always keep the appearance he looks in everyone's memory? ”

Xiao Jingyan pursed her lips, looked at him deeply for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to leave the capital?" ”

"Huh?" Mei Changsu didn't expect him to ask, his eyes trembled, and his face turned slightly pale.

"You insist on only being Mei Changsu, but you say that he is a treacherous person and is not suitable to stay by the monarch's side, so the implication is that you are not suitable to stay by my side?" Xiao Jingyan stared at his friend's eyes tightly, and did not relax for a moment: "Do you plan to leave the capital and retire to the rivers and lakes after the case is overturned?" ”

Mei Changsu showed a perfect smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "I haven't stopped for thirteen years, and I really feel tired. Now that you have full wings, you have enough virtuous ministers around you to govern the country, so let me go out and have a good time, why not? In three or five years, I will come back to see you, you and my brotherhood and friendship will not be maintained without seeing each other, right? ”

Xiao Jingyan was not moved by his smile in the slightest, his face was still cold, "Xiaoshu, you tell me the truth...... Are you okay? ”

"Body," Mei Changsu smiled and rubbed his temples on both sides of his head, "It must not be compared with back then, there is no strength, and the martial arts are all wasted, if I do it with you now, I will only be beaten to the ground." ”

"Yes......" Xiao Jingyan stared at his eyes for a long time before a smile bloomed, "Then I'll wait for you, and we'll compare when you're done." ”

Mei Changsu lowered his eyes and did not speak.

“…… Can't raise it well? ”

"Hmm."

"That's okay," Xiao Jingyan endured the excitement in his heart and patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that people are still there." ”

Mei Changsu also smiled and nodded, picked up the new tea on the table, and sipped it slowly.

"Look at you, what else do you want to say besides keeping me from revealing your identity?"

"Yes," Mei Changsu put down the tea bowl and looked slightly solemn, "I still want to discuss with you about Tingsheng." ”

"Tingsheng? Tingsheng is very good with me. Literature, talent, and martial arts have won praise from teachers and scholars, and they have the style of his father. When the dust settles in the future, we will ......," Xiao Jingyan said this, suddenly realizing the problem, and swallowed it at once.

"The royal inheritance and verification bloodline is the most rigorous," Mei Changsu said in a low tone, "When I was born, I didn't have a golden jade plate, and I didn't have the red seal treasure book of the Inner Court Division, so I wouldn't have the identity of a royal child." Although we know that Tingsheng is the widow of King Qi, after all, he was born in the Youye Court and took on the name of others, although it was a helpless move to save his life, but it also made it impossible for him to return to the royal family......"

Xiao Jingyan is a member of the royal family. Of course, I knew that what he said was true, but I was not sure whether he could finally win the throne before, so I didn't consider the identity of the court student for a while. At this time, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I thought about it.

"As for the heir of King Qi. In the future, even if you want to continue the marriage, you can only choose one of the children born to you or other princes, in short, Tingsheng does not have this qualification," Mei Changsu said, his expression was a little gloomy. "Even if you ascend the throne as emperor in the future, you can't set a precedent for him alone, and mess up the patriarchal ...... of the royal family."

Xiao Jingyan sighed and said, "The royal family has strict patriarchal laws, and there is no way to do it. I think that Emperor Hui had no children under his knees, and he couldn't bring back the illegitimate prince who was left behind in the people, let alone the court. ”

"Jing Yan," Mei Changsu moved a little closer to his friend and asked in a low voice, "You haven't told Ting Sheng about his background, have you?" ”

"No, I don't. The child is still young, and he has suffered so much, and I don't want him to take revenge. Why are you telling him this? ”

"King Ji didn't even say it......," Mei Changsu twisted his eyebrows and thought, "But I always feel that Tingsheng knows it...... There are many things in this world. It's content when you don't know. But once you know it, it will add a lot of distractions and troubles. Jing Yan. The calmer Tingsheng's temperament became, the more worried I felt about his future...... You have to spend more energy on him, pay attention to him, and let him live this life in peace and stability, so as to live up to King Qi's spirit in the sky......"

Xiao Jingyan raised his face and thought for a while, and said: "This is good, it is impossible to ask the court to enter the clan, it is better for me to accept him as a righteous son, and mention his identity." He is the brother of King Qi, and his character is not vulgar, even if he can't become a generation of virtuous kings in the future, he should at least be a pillar of the court. ”

"I think it......" Mei Changsu frowned, and said with some hesitation, "It would be better to keep Tingsheng away from the core of the royal family......"

"Why?"

Mei Changsu hesitated for a moment, thought about it and smiled again: "It's not why...... Maybe it's because I'm too worried, I always think that for a child like Tingsheng who has suffered hardships, an ordinary and healthy life may be the happiest. ”

"It's because he has suffered that he has to compensate him," Xiao Jingyan also smiled, "It's not easy to live in the court, I will take good care of him, and besides, don't you still have you?" Even if I have any negligence in the future, you can remind me. ”

Speaking of the word "future", Mei Changsu's chest was sullen but speechless, and he reluctantly smiled and got up and said, "It's time for me to say goodbye." The next burden is on the shoulders of His Royal Highness, and it is really hard for you. ”

"Be polite to me again," Xiao Jingyan talked to him about everything he had to say today, and he was in a good mood, standing up and sending him off, and said, "Mother said that peace of mind is good for you, so take care of it in a few days." Shouyi was afraid that he couldn't let go of his breath that day, can you support it? ”

"What do you say?" Mei Changsu smiled lightly: "All these years have been for this day, and I have to hold on to it even if I die." ”

Xiao Jingyan didn't know why he felt that this sentence sounded a little piercing, and frowned: "Don't say it so exaggeratedly, in fact, thousands of efforts are done in front, we have a great chance of winning now, we really don't need to be too nervous." I will always pay attention to Aunt Liyang these days, and Aunt Liyang will not relax you, even if you recuperate, as long as there is me, I will not want to live in any accident. ”

Mei Changsu saw that he was full of confidence, and he also felt relieved, nodded and answered, and walked out of the main pavilion to summon Feiliu. Xiao Jingyan wanted to send him to the sedan chair in the outer hall, but he refused, so he had to stand outside the shadow wall of the main pavilion and watch the two of them leave.

After returning to Su's house, Mei Changsu felt a little tired, and was about to lie down on the couch, when the door rang, Lin Chen swaggered in, and said triumphantly with a mysterious smile on his face: "There is good news, do you want to guess?" ”

He didn't ask people if they wanted to listen, but asked if they wanted to guess, and he knew that he was a little bored now. Mei Changsu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell down.

"Guess, guess," Lin Chen rushed over and dragged him up, "I see that you have been very lucky recently, and you have a bit of a wish come true." This good news is definitely icing on the cake for you, and I'll let you guess three times! ”

Mei Changsu looked at him fixedly, his eyes overflowing with a smile, and his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "You caught Xia Jiang?" ”
