Regarding Xie Yu's answer, Princess Liyang's expression was a little complicated, as if she was a little disappointed, and as if she was relieved. Or even herself, confused, not knowing what to do.
Xie Yu stroked her hair gently, turned around and walked out of the rockery first, and walked towards King Yu with a fairly steady step, his eyes swept over the Zhuo family halfway, but he didn't make any stops: "Your Highness wants to invite someone to be a guest, although you can take it away." At this time, the night was dark and the wind was high, and His Royal Highness was also uninvited, so Xie Yu had a place where he was not well entertained, and he would not be surprised if he wanted to come to His Highness. β
His attitude regained his composure, which made King Yu's heart chuckle. Mei Changsu reminded in a low voice: "The guest house where the Zhuo family lives has also burned, Your Highness must act quickly." β
King Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately called a subordinate general to come over, and quietly instructed him to rush to Fenzuo to close Tianquan Villa overnight with the king talisman, and not let anyone approach. After that, he only snorted to Xie Yu, said "farewell", and motioned to his subordinates to protect the Zhuo family and go out. After all, Mrs. Zhuo was worried about Xiao Jingrui in her heart, and turned her head to look at him, as if she wanted to say a few more words. At this time, the princess also came over, leaned on her son's arm with a tired face, and softly asked him to accompany her to the princess's mansion for a few days. Xiao Jingrui hung his head in response, knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed deeply to the Zhuo couple three times, without saying anything, but caused Mrs. Zhuo to cry like rain, crying almost choked.
Zhuo Dingfeng grabbed his wife's shoulders, hugged her and turned around and walked a few steps, his heart became more and more painful, and finally couldn't help but stop, turned his head, and said in a sad tone: "Jing Rui, come here, I'll tell you another word......
Xiao Jingrui froze for a moment, and Fang slowly walked over. Obviously, his father who has loved him for more than 20 years is in front of him, but it is difficult to look him directly into his eyes at this moment, so he has to put his gaze fluttering and fall behind his shoulder.
"Jing Rui," Zhuo Dingfeng put a hand on Xiao Jingrui's shoulder, "I know your temperament can bear it, but you can't bear to vent it, your mother and me...... It's not an unreasonable person, what happened back then, no matter how blamed on your head, don't be too bitter to ......"
Before the word "self" could be spoken, Xiao Jingrui's pupils suddenly retracted, grabbed Zhuo Dingfeng's hand on his shoulder with his backhand, and pushed it to the side. In the exclamation of everyone, one of the Yuwang subordinates surrounding the Zhuo family broke out, and the tip of the Xueliang knife hit Zhuo Dingfeng's vest directly, although Xiao Jingrui pushed it in time, the blade still cut the clothes on his back, which shows the speed of the assassin's attack. But after Xiao Jingrui pushed Zhuo Dingfeng away, he had no time to react and dodge, and the cold blade quickly sank into his abdomen, drawing an arc when he pulled out, and blood splashed everywhere.
All this happened at the moment of lightning, and several masters couldn't help it, if it weren't for Xiao Jingrui's uncomfortable feeling at that time, he deliberately wanted to avoid Zhuo Dingfeng's kind eyes and inadvertently turned his gaze away, but I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to push his adoptive father out of danger so quickly. The assassin struck the wrong hand, knowing that there was no more chance, and strangled his hand to the neck, and the man did not fall to the ground, but his throat was broken. Xia Dong, who was closest to him, pounced on it, and could only frown and shake his head.
"Jing Rui! Jing Rui! Zhuo Dingfeng hugged the limp body in his arms tightly, and his fingers were like the wind, sealing several big points on his body to slow down the blood flow of the wound. At this time, the eldest princess, Mrs. Zhuo and others had already cried and rushed over to look, Yan Yujin hurriedly touched in his arms, wanting to find out the bottle of heart protection pill that he had just carried in his arms in the hall, but he didn't touch it for a long time in a hurry. Mei Changsu also came over quickly, leaned over to take a closer look at Xiao Jingrui's injury, and saw that although he was seriously injured, he was lucky enough to avoid the vital point, and the young man had the heart protection pill that he had taken tonight to protect his heart, and he should be worry-free, so he calmed down his heart a little, and took the golden medicine and asked Mrs. Zhuo to wrap his wounds.
At this time, Yan Yujin finally found the medicine bottle, and hurriedly poured one out to give to his friend, but Mei Changsu shook his head to stop: "Keep it, this life-saving holy medicine is not your way of using it." One capsule is enough today. β
King Yu, who was stunned by this close-range bloody fight, came back to his senses and turned his head to glare at Xie Yu viciously, but the latter shrugged his shoulders coldly and said, "Everyone can see clearly, this assassin is your person, what do you think I do?" β
King Yu was stumped by him, his anger surged in his chest, and he angrily called his henchmen on his side, and roared: "Bring this corpse back, and show this king how he got in, and he must find out!" β
Mei Changsu glanced at him and didn't speak. There are also blind spots that are difficult to fully control in all kinds of well-thought-out plans, and this unexpected scene really startled him, but fortunately, there is no danger, which is also lucky. As for how King Yu managed his soldiers, Mei Changsu didn't have any suggestions, and it was okay if he didn't add chaos to it.
After the initial treatment of Xiao Jingrui's wound, the bleeding finally stopped completely, but the person was already groggy and his face was gray. Ning Guofu obviously couldn't stay any longer, and the eldest princess had ordered to prepare a car and prepare to take him back to the princess's mansion to continue his treatment. Yuwen Nian whispered softly beside her and asked her to take Xiao Jingrui to the post palace to recuperate, but it was conceivable that no one paid attention to her bizarre idea, only Yue Xiuze saw that the female apprentice looked like she was about to cry, came over and pulled her aside, and said in a deep voice: "This is Jinling, you have to be patient." β
"Why isn't Brother Huo here?" Yu Wennian looked around and asked with a crying voice.
"He probably didn't get in, he waited outside. We're aliens after all......"
"Master, what shall we do?" Yu Wennian wrung his hands, "The eldest princess is so powerful, and my brother doesn't mean to pay attention to me...... Master Chen didn't do divination, April is an auspicious day, and if we come here at this time, we will definitely be able to bring back my brother's ......."
The Chu people are extremely convinced of the art of divination and star measurement, and a certain Chu emperor once abdicated because of the image of Ziwei's invasion of the emperor's star and let the prince ascend the throne early, so Yue Xiuze immediately comforted: "Master Chen has been divided, what are you worried about?" Although he is young and his legal position is not high, the hexagrams he has given to His Royal Highness King Ling recently are all accurate, and you have to be sincere. β
The master and apprentice whispered on the side, and others didn't pay attention, only Mei Changsu occasionally glanced at him. King Yu has reassigned several of his closest henchmen to protect the Zhuo family, and the rattan beds that have carried the injured have also been carried. The eldest princess of Liyang ordered several attendants to pick up Xie Bi and Xie Qi, and then finally glanced back at her husband who was left alone, and went out of the house with everyone with tears in her eyes.
Yu Wenxuan was really waiting outside the gate of the mansion, staying with the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion who were most unknown tonight, and had been watched by suspicious eyes, but he seemed to be very safe and content. He was not interested in what was happening in the house, and when he saw his cousin come out safely, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted him and said softly: "Niannian, how is it?" β
"He hasn't spoken to me yet......" Yu Wennian threw himself into his arms and poured out very aggrieved.
"It's okay, he's too shocked tonight to take care of you. You fight alongside him, and he will remember you as a girl. Yuwen Xuan put his arm around his sister's shoulders and comforted him softly, "You think, if we pick such a public occasion to expose the matter, we have completely cut off all his retreats." This is incomparable to the effect of private recognition. His identity and circumstances have changed so much all of a sudden, even if he doesn't feel it now, it won't be long before he will find out that although he has the eldest princess to protect him, this Daliang Jinling is no longer a suitable place for him to stay. When the time comes, if we persuade him, he will definitely go with us. People always want to meet their biological father......"
Yu Wennian nodded, his eyes kept chasing Xiao Jingrui to be carried into the carriage, and he walked away, and couldn't help but shed tears again. Yan Yujin, who was about to go home with his father, accidentally saw that Pixiang Xiyu's problem was inevitably attacking, hesitated for a moment, but still came over to her and said, "Miss Yuwen, Jing Rui's injury is not hindering her life, don't worry." The eldest princess is a cool and generous person, if you come to the door more and beg for it, she will let you meet Jing Rui. β
Yuwen Nian knew that he was kind, so he hurriedly wiped away his tears, squatted down to salute, and said softly: "Yes, thank you Gongzi Yan." β
Yan Yujin nodded in return, and looked at Yu Wenxuan again, because he didn't like this Great Chuling King who was always full of smirks, so he didn't speak anymore and turned to leave.
Before Xia Dong left, he deliberately went around to Mei Changsu's side, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Great talent, you are really good, some people actually say that you don't play chess well, it's a real joke." β
Mei Changsu smiled: "I really didn't play well, Lord Xia will know if you try it." However, Lord Xia is only interested in the case he has in hand, and most of them don't care about other people's chess games, right? β
"That's right," Xia Dong smiled coquettishly and exhaled softly, "I only care if my case can be solved, and I have always pretended to be blind and deaf in front of superfluous idle matters, you tell His Royal Highness King Yu, don't look for me, so as not to waste his energy." β
"I never pass on the word," Mei Changsu was tickled by her blow on the side of his ear, and avoided it with a smile, "Besides, His Royal Highness King Yu is a smart person, when did you trouble Lord Xia?" β
Xia Dong looked up to the sky and smiled, turned around and pulled Xia Chun, and walked away like this.
At this moment, King Yu had already arranged all the matters to escort the Zhuo family. He has always been a master who is good at being kind and obedient, and Zhuo Dingfeng is a straightforward Jianghu person, although he has not been wary, but it seems that his perception of King Yu has also improved. Mei Changsu knew that he should go back into hiding now, and the curtain would be closed by King Yu, so he kept standing far away. Anyway, the Zhuo family is now temporarily out of the danger of life and death, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Zhuo Dingfeng has conspired with Xie Yu for all these years, and he knows the details of many things, and the lethality of a single confession is very great, as long as there is still a little bit of physical evidence in Tianquan Villa, the possibility of Xie Yu turning over is basically gone. And all this, Yuwang will definitely do very well.
"This king will send some people to send Mr. Su back to his house, right?" King Yu came over, and looked at Mei Changsu more and more like looking at a baby, "Mr. fell into the water, his body was wet, and he still got the cold, so this king will send the imperial doctor to take a look when he goes back, okay?" β
"Thank you, Your Highness." Mei Changsu smiled, "The next matter is urgent, Your Highness should deal with it overnight, and don't bother about me." Commander Meng was involved in this matter for no reason, and looking at his appearance, he also reflected that he was being used by us, and he was a little unhappy. He is still deeply favored by the emperor, and his position is heavy, so he cannot be offended. Your Highness will go back to the house first, and I will go over and find a way to explain a few words. β
King Yu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Meng Zhi's slightly dark face, and said busily: "So Mr. Lao." The Commander of Monte is a loyal and upright man, so be careful when you explain it, and we must not make him an enemy at this time. β
Mei Changsu nodded in response. King Yu turned around, deliberately came to Meng Zhi and said a few polite words, and then Fang took the Zhuo family to leave in a carriage. Mei Changsu followed and greeted with a smile: "Commander Meng has worked hard. β
Meng Zhi looked at the left and right to walk almost completely, then relaxed the expression on his face, and said, "You're still hanging out, aren't you cold?" β
"It's a little cold now...... It's curfew so late, I'm a common man walking at night for fear of being arrested, is the commander willing to give me a ride? β
Meng Zhi didn't understand for a moment whether he was serious or joking, and it wasn't until a carriage arrived close that he came back to his senses and sat in with Mei Changsu.
"Where's Feiliu?"
"It's nearby, anyway." After the curtain was lowered, Mei Changsu relaxed, took off his wet coat, and grabbed the blanket in the carriage and wrapped it. Meng Zhi hurriedly resisted his vest and gave him luck and blood.
"To be honest, tonight is really ......" Seeing Mei Changsu's normal face, Meng Zhi was relieved, thinking of the Lin Lin just past, he couldn't help but sigh, "Although you said something in advance, I still feel thrilled." β
Mei Changsu sighed: "You bystanders are still like this, and the people they are in are tantamount to a torment......
"By the way, the eldest princess's secret affairs back then were confidential after all, did King Yu ask you how you found out?"
"That's not what I found." Mei Changsu wrapped the blanket tightly on his body and said lightly, "It was King Yu who found out and told me by himself." β
"Huh?" Meng Zhi was unexpectedly confused when he heard such a sentence, "What are you talking about?!" β
Mei Changsu tilted his head in the fluffy blanket and said slowly: "The whole thing started as early as a few years ago. First find a businessman who trafficks in leather goods and say in the red sleeves that the old prince of Da Chu and the eldest prince of Xiao look similar, and then arrange an old palace person to inadvertently remind the queen of the old things about the eldest princess of Liyang...... Together, these two are enough for some people to associate them. King Yu has too many eyes on his body, and Qin Banruo is also a person who wants to track down if he has a secret, so he doesn't need to push too much to make them move by himself. There is one thing you probably don't know, Gong Yu assassinated Xie Yu once last month......"
"Huh?!"
"Of course, the assassination was unsuccessful, I was a little injured and was hunted down, and I didn't have time to escape to Miaoyinfang, so I just escaped into the Red Sleeve Move and was rescued by Qin Panruo......" Mei Changsu's gaze flowed coldly, "This is how King Yu knew the secret of Xie Yu's infanticide back then. β
"I see!" Meng Zhi slapped his thigh, "King Yu has found out so many things, and he will definitely come over to discuss with you how to use it, so you plan for him to expose everything at the birthday banquet." It's wonderful! But Yu Wenxuan ...... them"
"Yuwen Xuan came to Jinling, and King Yu was ordered to be in charge of the reception, so he naturally had the opportunity to meet Yuwen Nian. As long as you see the face of this Yuwen girl, what else do you not understand? The little girl's mind probed and she knew that with the tongue of the king of honor, it was not difficult to say that they would come over tonight. β
"Yes, that's right. It's a bit ruthless, but it's a rare opportunity. Meng Zhi sighed, "But they also came at the right time." β
"When King Yu first came to discuss with me, I only planned for him to let Gong Yu perform at the birthday banquet, and find an opportunity to challenge Xie Yu in front of the Zhuo family. But that's just an empty debunking, and the effect is unpredictable. Therefore, when the Great Chu Marriage Mission came to Beijing, and after King Yu found out about Yuwen Nian, he was really ecstatic, and he came to me and kept saying, 'God help me'," Mei Changsu smiled coldly, "Let him think that this is his luck, and God is indeed helping him." Without King Yu, it is really difficult for me to move Xie Yu. β
"Fortunately, everything is as you expected, there were some small accidents, but after all, it didn't affect the overall situation." Meng Zhi wiped the beard on his lips and sighed, "Poor is the Zhuo family, who have been deceived all these years, and Jing Rui, a young man, I don't know what will happen in the future...... He probably guessed your role in the whole thing, right? You're friends after all, will he blame you for being ruthless? β
"It's weird." Mei Changsu's tone didn't seem to care, but his lowered eyes were inevitably a little dim, and he muttered, "If you are not ruthless, how can you get rid of the connection between him and Xie Yu?" This kid ...... After all, we have to face these ......"
