"My father's name?" Mei Changsu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the purpose of his question, and his face changed color slightly.

"Since Lord Ling Zun is the benefactor of my mother's concubine, I should also know his name, shouldn't I?"

"Your Highness...... Why don't you ask the concubine? ”

"I've asked," King Jing didn't hide it, and now I want to ask Mr. again. ”

Mei Changsu slowly lowered his head, and the hand shrunk in the quilt was clenched tightly and slowly released, and his face was almost transparent.

"Is there anything difficult about it, sir?" King Jing bowed down, trying to see his eyes clearly, "Lord Lingzun's name is also a secret?" ”

"How so?" Mei Changsu smiled weakly, and finally raised his eyes: "My father's name is on Shi Xia Nan." ”

King Jing's whole body was shocked, and his face almost became as white as Mei Changsu, and he tried his best to stabilize his mind: "Can you ...... Say it again? ”

"My father's Mei heather ......"

"Which stone which Nan?" King Jing squeezed the question out between his teeth, as if in a final struggle.

"The stone of the heather tree." Mei Changsu looked at the expression on King Jing's face, and knew that he had made the right bet this time, but he didn't feel the slightest relief in his heart, but it was heavy, as if some rough weight had crushed over his chest, bringing a dull pain.

King Jing stumbled, then took two steps back and closed his eyes heavily. For him, after a night of confusion yesterday, the thought that flashed through his mind was so sudden and so bizarre that he wondered if he was crazy, and the few words just now told him coldly. It turned out that he was really crazy.

Crazy enough to find the revenant that can never be recovered, crazy enough to reunite two completely different figures.

However, the ending was just a cold and snowy disappointment.

Lie Zhanying timidly patrolled the door. Somewhat intimidated by the eccentric atmosphere in the room, but the news that had just been delivered was so important. He had to report it immediately.

"Your Highness...... The messenger of the Great Commander of Mongolia arrived from the starry night of the imperial capital to ......"

King Jing stood silently for a moment again, as if to calm his emotions of ice and fire, and finally he still controlled himself, turned around and walked out silently, but because his heart was in chaos. He didn't notice that the Buddha's tooth quietly passed through his feet, walked into the inner room with his tail swing, and threw himself into Mei Changsu's arms.

As soon as he saw King Jing, he turned over and bowed down, and raised the letter with both hands above his head. King Jing took the letter and roughly checked the seal and said, "Come in with me." "Yes!"

As soon as he heard the news that the imperial capital had come, Emperor Liang immediately got up in his sleepiness and put on his coat to meet King Jing on the couch. The messenger knelt at the outer door, waiting for questioning.

"Good! I'm relieved," Emperor Liang read carefully. The wrinkles on his face slowly unfolded," Meng Qing moved. The remaining Forbidden Army has all been brought under his control. The palace defense has also been reorganized, ready to wait for me to return to Beijing at any time...... "What's wrong?" ”

“…… Xia Jiang escaped from prison......"

King Jing's eyebrows jumped: "How come?" ”

"I fled when Meng Qing had just entered Beijing and the situation was chaotic with King Yu. Attached to the back is also a plea of the lost prisoner of the Criminal Department. Emperor Liang's expression suddenly turned grim: "This thief has failed the emperor's grace and is more difficult for me to forgive, immediately go to the sea to catch the papers, it doesn't matter if you are alive or dead, you must be caught by me!" ”

"Yes."

"You're going to work hard again, make arrangements for today, and return to Luan tomorrow."

King Jing knew that Emperor Liang was anxious to return to the imperial capital at the moment, and immediately said: "Father, don't worry, the child will go and make arrangements, and he will definitely be able to leave tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Emperor Liang smiled lovingly: "Since you are about to return to Beijing, you have to think about the reward you want." ”

King Jing said lightly: "Why bother thinking too much about what your father and emperor will reward, what the child will reward if you think too much, you will exceed your duty." ”

Emperor Liang looked at him deeply, and then looked up and smiled for a while, looking very cheerful: "I like your unforced temper, just like your mother." Let's get busy first, I don't have to come in again today to say goodbye. ”

After King Jing knocked out, Emperor Liang leaned on the head of the bed and pondered for a while: "Summoning Ji."

Gao Zhan hurriedly went out to deliver the message. Since this place is not comparable to the Imperial Capital Forbidden Garden, King Ji rushed in before a moment and saluted in front of the couch.

"Sit down, I'll discuss something with you." Emperor Liang pointed to the low chair beside him, "This rebellion was started by King Yu, you know?" ”

"My brother knows. Xu Anmo has taken the initiative to recruit him, and besides, except for King Yu, the other princes are all driving with the queen in this capital...... It has always been a preference for the land of the king......"

"Jing Huan has already chilled my heart, in vain, I still expected him to give him permission? There is no means, there is no will, there is no will, and now it is so bad that I can no longer tolerate it. Emperor Liang's expression was very distressed, his fingers rubbed his forehead, and he looked very uncomfortable, "But after all, it is my son, and after thinking about it, my heart still hurts......"

King Ji hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Huang's matter has come to this point, it is better to take care of the dragon's body......"

"Let's not talk about that." Emperor Liang sat up and looked at his younger brother: "Now that the crown prince has been deposed, the king is even more unforgivable, who do you think the position of the prince should belong to in the future?" ”

King Ji was suddenly so frightened that he fell to the ground and said: "This is a matter of Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, and my brother does not dare to say anything. ”

"It's worth your nervousness?" Emperor Liang smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "What do you think of King Jing?" King Ji pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "King Jing...... Benevolence, filial piety, sincerity, loyalty, and courage can be ...... The model of the princes......"

Emperor Liang looked out the window with deep eyes, and after a long time, he seemed to let out a sigh from the depths of his chest: "Actually, Jing Yan is not my best son...... Don't you think? ”

King Ji trembled. The atmosphere did not dare to come out.

"But Jing Yan has the benefits of Jing Yan, and he knows how to converge on this point...... It's different from Jing Yu. Maybe it had something to do with his mother's temperament. "Emperor Liang doesn't seem to be planning to really ask King Ji to say anything, and his gaze is still at the original point." This time, when Jing Yan came to rescue him, the forbidden army was almost useless, and the hunting palace was actually in his hands, but he returned the talisman without saying a word, and it made me feel very surprised at that time......

"Accident?"

"I thought it would. He always mentions something, or at least hints at something. ”

King Ji smiled reluctantly, "Jing Yan doesn't seem to be a person with such a temperament. ”

"After leaving Jiu'an Mountain and returning to Beijing, the situation will return to my control. But Fang Cai tested Jing Yan for a while, and he didn't seem to want to delay returning to Luandi. Emperor Liang moved closer to King Ji and lowered his voice: "Do you think he has any thoughts about the position of the East Palace?" ”

King Ji was slightly shocked and smiled a little embarrassed. "It's not just Jing Yan, as long as you are the prince, who has no idea about the position of the East Palace. That must be fake land. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Liang glanced over, "You are also a prince." What are your thoughts? ”

King Ji's smile was very relaxed this time. "The younger brother is not the prince, the younger brother is the younger brother. That's not the same. ”

Emperor Liang laughed and patted his younger brother's shoulder hard: "You, you just gave birth late." But it's also a loss, and you have a person to talk to. What are you nervous about wiping sweat and eating a snack? I don't hurt you enough, you don't pamper you enough? ”

King Ji also followed "hehe" twice, picked a piece of skein cake on the plate at random, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and praised: "It's the craftsmanship of the concubine, right?" The royal brother has refused to give it to his younger brother recently, and he has to come in to eat it. ”

"Okay, if you like it, you can wrap it up and take it away. The concubine is still by my side, and I don't have to worry about having nothing to eat. Emperor Liang unfolded his smile lines and the tail of his eyes suddenly swept Gao Zhan and said, "Call King Huai and King Yu to come in." ”

King Ji was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Then the younger brother will ...... first."

"Don't be busy eating yours." The smile on Emperor Liang's face gradually precipitated and transformed into a deeper and more solemn expression: "Didn't you say that all princes have ideas?" I'd like to hear what both of them think. ”

King Ji almost choked, hurriedly picked up the teacup and quietly rushed down.

After a short time, King Huai and King Yu came in to invite An, and after saluting, Emperor Liang also smiled and appreciated the snacks to eat, but before they could swallow them, he suddenly asked: "King Jing is the crown prince, do you have any opinions?" ”

King Ji hurriedly handed the teacup to the two poor princes, and they choked and coughed for a while, and then they all fell to the ground and knocked on the ground, not daring to say more.

"Why do you have objections?"

"The retainers don't dare to ......," King Yu was a little bolder, and fixed his mind: "King Jing has nothing to pick, and the emperor thinks it is suitable, and the sons and ministers think it is suitable." ”

"The crown prince and King Yu don't need to mention it anymore, if King Jing is not the crown prince, he will have to choose ...... between the two of you," Emperor Liang's heavy gaze fell on the two sons, "Don't you have any ideas?" "Minister...... There is no virtue and incompetence, and I only want to be able to do my best in front of my father's knees and fulfill my filial piety, and I have nothing else to think about. King Yu bowed and confessed, and King Huai hurriedly agreed.

"But......" Emperor Liang said in a leisurely tone, "you have a long preface, you should be ranked before King Jing?" ”

King Yu choked up for a while, and quickly pulled King Huai, who read a lot, and King Huai stammered: "Sons...... It's all the same, it's not the difference between the years and teeth of the sons-in-law, and it's not much, so it's naturally your father...... Choosing the best and standing ......"

"It's a good one," Emperor Liang laughed gently, "If you talk about virtuous and filial piety, King Jing is indeed well deserved." It's also very relieved that you two have this open-mindedness. I got up to reward you for a snack and asked by the way. Eat, eat, eat, I'm sleepy, you finish eating this plate, go in, kowtow to the concubine, and say goodbye. ”

The meaning of ordering the two princes to worship the concubine is already very clear. However, although King Huai of Yu did not disturb the court situation, his judgment was still grounded, and he had long expected that he would not be surprised today, so he hurriedly swallowed a few pieces of dim sum and bowed to Emperor Liang, who had fallen to sleep, and was ordered to enter the room.

King Ji quietly withdrew, ordered people to prepare horses, wanted to go out of the palace to relax, just walked to the door of the outer hall, and saw King Jing walking over with a group of civil and military ministers, about to arrange the driving of everything, looking at the calm and confident momentum, as if he already had the demeanor of a lord.

"It turns out that the country is ...... to him in the end," King Ji muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered the eldest son of the emperor who was heroic and long-awaited back then, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and couldn't tell what it felt.

"I've seen Lord Ji......" A voice suddenly came from behind him, which made King Ji startled.

In front of him stood a white-shirted scribe, with a thin body and a sickly face, who seemed to be brittle and harmless, but he was the most despised person in the world.

"By the way, the Qilin talent is also his ......," in a slight panic, King Ji said to himself in his heart. He didn't have a direct relationship with Mei Changsu, but he knew him. Now there are almost no people with a bit of identity in the capital who don't recognize this Mr. Su.

"Is the prince going out?"

"yes. Mr. Su seems to be in poor health? ”

"There is a prince of Lao, who asked, after sleeping for a day, I want to get up and take a walk, and I will return to Luan tomorrow?"

"Yes, when you return to the imperial capital, everything can be determined, and Mr. can rest assured." Ji Wang Ye smiled faintly.

Mei Changsu then smiled, his eyes softened, "Actually, His Royal Highness King Jing has always wanted to thank the prince, but it is not convenient to be chaotic." ”

"Thank me for what?" King Ji couldn't help laughing and said: "I look at everything, what can I do without looking at people, Xie Mei Changsu stared at him for a long time, and slowly bowed down: "Your Highness, thank you for saving the court, if it weren't for the prince's kindness back then, he was afraid that it would be difficult to be born in this world......"

King Ji's whole body trembled, and the smile on his face gradually faded, as if something was about to pour out, rolling under the epidermis, stirring up desolate and sad ripples between his eyebrows.

"That's not to mention thanks...... Originally, they were all a family, who was not flesh and blood? ”

After saying this, the prince who had been chic and idle all his life turned away, and his sleeve robe fluttered in the mountain wind, leaving a gloomy and helpless back.
