Chapter 167: Request

When Xiao Jingrui said this, his tone was not high, but there was a sense of persistence and determination, and the eldest princess of Liyang felt as if an invisible hand was tightly choking her throat, so that she had to cling to her son like a drowning person clinging to driftwood.

"Jing Rui, listen to your mother...... What you don't know, you don't know how ruthless he was, it wasn't that no one shouted injustice back then, but he didn't listen or listen! Sister Jinyang, Concubine Chen, Jing Yu...... When I watched them die, I knew that the emperor had made the most absolute, ruthless and vicious determination in the world. This case is the biggest rebellion in his heart, whoever wants to touch it is equivalent to overthrowing his high authority, and there will be no good end! Think about it, Mr. Li, Taifu and your uncle who are not famous in the world? But as a result, no one can resist the heart of a ruthless son of heaven...... Jing Rui, don't be stupid, can you still announce the world and publicize the big mistakes made by His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"Then mother, should we not see anything?" Xiao Jingrui said quietly: "Erase the truth from your mind, as if you have never read this handwritten letter, right?" If we do, will our consciences be able to sleep for a day? ”

"Jingrui ......"

"I understand my mother's thoughts. But the truth is the truth, whether we have the ability to change all the upside-down black and white, but at least we can't be accomplices in the concealment. Xiao Jingrui wanted to break free of his mother's hand, but he was grabbed tighter and slightly stronger, and the tears of the eldest princess of Liyang were like broken threads, so that he had to stop and patiently continue to persuade: "Mother." Now that someone has come to seize this handwriting, it is not something we can do if we want to stay out of it. You have to believe that there is the highest and most righteous in this heaven and earth. Not the emperor, the emperor, but morality and facts. But don't worry. I can't do it, but I won't act recklessly for the sake of my mother. ”

The eldest princess of Liyang shook her head in a panic, and her scattered silk was soaked in cold sweat and stuck to the side of her face, making her whole person look extremely old and haggard. I can't convince my son. Her mind was spinning sharply, and a bright light flashed.

"Jing Rui, let's give this to the prince, what? ”

"Prince," the eldest princess of Liyang said eagerly, "have you heard that Daliang has a new prince when you are not in the country?" ”

Xiao Jingrui groaned and nodded slowly, "I've heard that it's King Jing......"

"Yes, yes." The eldest princess of Liyang took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Maybe you can't remember clearly." Jing Yan, this child, has a continuous relationship with King Qi and the Lin family. Xiaoshu of the Lin family grew up with him. They are the best friends. If there is anyone in this world who sincerely wants to avenge King Qi and the Lin family, it must be him. We handed this handwritten letter to the prince. Isn't it more useful than in our hands? ”

"The new crown prince ......," Xiao Jingrui frowned thoughtfully, "Although it was said that they had old feelings back then, but now that the prince is in the East Palace, waiting to inherit the great treasure, will he risk angering His Majesty to overturn such a big case?" ”

"Jing Yan has always been good-natured, and I believe that he will not forget the old kindness." Liyang grabbed the manuscript and rolled it up, put it back into the sachet and said quickly: "Mother, let's go to the East Palace, you don't have to worry about anything." No matter what the prince's attitude is, his mother is his aunt after all, so she will be fine. ”

"How is it possible to leave my mother alone?" Xiao Jingrui showed a soft smile, but his tone was very firm: "Since the prince will not embarrass me, my mother will naturally not embarrass me." ”

Of course, the original intention of the eldest princess of Liyang was to hope that her son would not be involved in this matter at all, but after all, it was her own child's heart, and she still understood it, and she knew at a glance that his determination could not be changed, and she could only sigh at the moment, no longer reluctantly.

This night, Xiao Jingrui readjusted the defense of the princess's mansion, and put the silk book on his body to accompany him outside the door of his mother's dormitory. The night was uneventful. Early the next morning, the mother and son had some breakfast at will, and it was expected that the prince would disperse to the east palace in a sedan car.

Although Xie Yu was demoted for committing the crime, the eldest princess of Liyang was the royal sister of the golden branch and jade leaf after all, and the deacons received by the East Palace did not dare to slack off, and sent people to report it quickly, while welcoming her in. Xiao Jingyan probably had just returned from the court, and before the crown prince had time to change, he stood in front of the steps of the main pavilion of the East Palace and waited for this little aunt to show courtesy. Due to temperament, the two of them have never been close, and when they meet, their aunts and nephews only greet each other indifferently, and then enter the cabinet together.

But as soon as she stepped into the threshold of the main pavilion of the East Palace, the eldest princess of Liyang and Xiao Jingrui, who was supporting her, were stunned at the same time, and froze in place. Because of this, there was another person standing in the main pavilion that was not allowed to enter, an outsider in plain clothes and white shirts, without quality and no job.

This person was smiling lightly at the moment, bowing down to the eldest princess and saluting, and said, "The grass people have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Jing Rui hasn't seen him for a long time. ”

When Xiao Jingrui left Beijing last year, Mei Chang Su Ming was still a person who was honored as the king, and now the world has turned upside down, he has proudly stood beside the new prince.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Su here," the eldest princess of Liyang smiled coldly and said, "When I first saw Mr., I knew that it was not a thing in the pool, but now it seems that it is indeed a unicorn method." ”

"The princess praised it." Mei Changsu said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart of appreciation for Su, and I am a subject of Daliang, how dare I not do my best." ”

His tone was soft and his expression was gentle, so he didn't know why, when the eldest princess of Liyang looked at him, he always felt a chill in his heart, so he flashed his eyes and said: "Jingyan, I came to you today to have a confidential and important matter, and it is not convenient to tell you that it is not convenient for outsiders to be present, can you please ask Mr. Su to avoid it?" ”

Xiao Jingyan immediately said, "No need. Mr. Su is just like myself, and my aunt can say anything to me, so she can say it to Mr. Su. ”

This sentence should be regarded as very weighty, even if the prince just said that he was polite, it would not be trivial. What's more, when he spoke, his tone was so serious, there was no casual meaning, the eldest princess of Liyang looked at the two of them. I was a little hesitant in my heart.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here today. Is it for the handwritten letter written when Xie Hou left Beijing? Mei Changsu didn't seem to care what she looked like, but still asked with a smile.

Xiao Jingrui heard him say this, thinking that this matter was under his control, so he asked cooperatively: "How does Brother Su know?" ”

"The idea of leaving a handwritten letter to save my life was still out of the ground at that time. Jing Rui doesn't know, but Her Royal Highness the princess shouldn't forget," Mei Changsu took a step forward and raised his eyebrows, "The two of you came to the East Palace today, presumably they must have read the content of the handwritten book, what do you think?" ”

The eldest princess of Liyang looked at him in horror and said in a trembling voice, "Do you know? You already knew all the things written in the handbook? ”

"I know what. The world doesn't know yet. Mei Changsu's expression at this moment was sharp, and everyone present had never seen it, and his lips were sneering. The burning edge in the eyebrows and fiery eyes makes people dare not look directly. "Eldest Princess. You used to be sisterly over the years. Have you ever dreamed? ”

The eldest princess of Liyang couldn't bear his gaze like this, turned her head to the side suddenly, gritted her teeth, and said: "Why do you have to say more, since you know the content of the handwritten book, you must want it, in fact, we came here today to prepare to hand over this book to the prince." ”

Mei Changsu looked at the sachet handed over by the eldest princess and said lightly: "You are wrong, I don't see this handwritten letter in my eyes." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask the princess for your help, which is much more difficult than this, I wonder if you would like to hear it? ”

Xiao Jingrui gently blocked half of his mother's body and said in a low voice: "Brother Su's mother is now living in a simple house, and there is only a limit to what she can do, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sent to do so, he is willing to take it. ”

Mei Changsu glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "Jing Rui, as far as this matter is concerned, what you can do is really limited." ”

"Auntie, since I opened my mouth to you, of course, only you can do what I mentioned," Xiao Jingyan looked directly into the eyes of the eldest princess of Liyang and asked, "Do you really want to listen to it?" ”

At this point, it was obvious that it couldn't be a simple request, but after hesitating for a moment, the eldest princess of Liyang still said, "Tell me about it." ”

"In a few days, it will be my father's birthday, and I will hold a ceremony for him, and gather the nobles of the clan and the important ministers of the court to congratulate him on his birthday in Wuying Palace." Xiao Jingyan said in a gentle tone: "This handwritten letter is Xie Yudi's own statement, and aunt, you are Xie Yu's wife, I want to ask my aunt to bring this book on the day of Shouyi, and metabolize the jade before the hundred officials." ”

The eldest princess of Liyang was taken aback and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"The most important thing in my father's life is his supremacy and unchallenged authority, this case is related to his reputation for a lifetime, even if the truth shocks him, he will not admit that he has lost a reputation for killing his son, destroying loyalty, and being mediocre and cruel to future generations, so I must create a situation where the crowd is boiling, it is difficult to ride a tiger, a situation that is completely out of his control, whether he wants to or not, he must agree to retry the case in public, and the beginning of this situation depends on his aunt."

"This ...... This...... You have this idea...... It's too bold to ......," the eldest princess of Liyang glared at him with a face like snow.

"Please rest assured, aunt, no matter how the situation evolves, aunt's land is safe, and my nephew will do his best to protect it, and you will not be harmed."

"If Your Majesty is angry and insists on going his own way, how do you want to defend me?"

"Since my nephew is going to take this step, he has naturally made all the arrangements. My father is not the father and nephew of the year, nor is it the king of Qi back then, what I want to do is to clear the snow and grievances, not a moth to the fire, if there is no backhand, wouldn't it be brave and strategic? The eldest princess of Liyang was shocked by the implied meaning of his words and was speechless for a long time. She has lived in a simple house this year, and she doesn't know much about the news outside, and her feelings for Xiao Jingyan are nothing more than the benefits of a fisherman, but at this moment, looking at his face as hard as iron, and then looking at the Qilin genius standing with his hands on the side, he suddenly realized that this nephew's current edge is no longer beyond the control of the sick and weak old emperor.

"Jing Yan" The eldest princess of Liyang calmed down, looked at her son who was wrinkling her eyebrows and contemplating beside her, glanced at her and raised her face slightly, "No matter what, it is not easy for me to expose this case in public, if I do what you say, what good will it do to me?" ”

"Are you doing any good after asking?" Mei Changsu's eyebrows jumped, and the essence in his eyes flashed: "Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, you already know the truth about the tragedy back then, but you are still asking, what is the benefit of clearing their wrongs for you?" ”

The eldest princess of Liyang's heart trembled, and she couldn't help lowering her eyes.

"Forget it," Mei Changsu's tone turned back to Xiao Jingyan with deep disappointment, and said, "The Golden Palace requires great courage, if the eldest princess is not sincere, I am afraid that it will backfire, and it will disrupt His Highness's plan, so let's choose another candidate......"
