Langya's dream

Chapter 160 Two [Xie Yu’s Fall]

The setting sun is gradually setting, and the whole sky is rendered by the sunset glow. It looks like an oil painting, which makes it difficult to take in the eyes; I stand at the side door, looking at the peaceful sky, but I can't calm down in my heart; the blood-red clouds As if it was an omen, those old events will eventually be revealed, leaving behind the bloody truth.

After Mei Changsu has rectified, he turns around and salutes Jingyan, and takes Feiliu Ligang to Ningguo Houfu.

Seeing Mei Changsu leave, Jingyan walked up to me, followed my line of sight and looked at the sky. After a long while, he opened his lips and whispered, "Tonight, what kind of night will it be?"

I came back to look at his chiseled side face, smiled lightly, said nothing, turned around and went to the house to sit down, picked up the kettle on the stove, and washed the tea over and over again.

"Miss is very determined. When Mr. Cai told me about this plan, I was startled, but the girl seemed to be indifferent to her own affairs. It can be seen that the girl also participated in this plan, right?"

Seeing me washing and making tea so calmly, Jingyan felt even more suspicious.

I smiled lightly, and replied meaninglessly: "Qing'er's concentration has always been very good, Your Highness may be worrying too much." After finishing speaking, I gently poured out a cup of brewed tea, put it on the opposite side of the table with a flick of my sleeve, and waited for him Sit down and drink.

He didn't look outside, walked to me and sat down directly. He didn't intend to drink tea at all. Instead, he kept staring at me, as if he could see the answer.

"After seeing the girl poisoned last time, I heard that the girl has been ill. I wonder how the girl is doing now?" Jingyan asked straightforwardly.

I paused in my hands, it seems that he already knew; I knew it in my heart, and I didn't hide it, and said to him: "It's much better now, please be concerned about it, Your Highness."

"A few days ago, the king went to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. By the way, he informed the girl of her condition. The concubine mother said that the girl has the poison of dove wine in her body. Dove wine is poisonous wine only available to the royal family."

Jingyan said coldly, obviously, he knew more than just a little bit of poisoning.

It was me who ignored the existence of Concubine Jing, and left evidence in his mansion that day, alas.I sighed, not avoiding his gaze.

The four eyes meet, I don't know what he is thinking, but in my mind, I only have how to cover up, if I can't cover up, I can't drag Brother Su down.

"Your Highness has been fighting outside all the year round, so maybe you don't know much about the affairs of the Jianghu. In fact, the royal family does not only have this dove wine. There are not as many people who make poison in the Jianghu. The poison of the dove wine in my body, does Your Highness think it's inappropriate?" I asked. Ask back.

"I've always felt that Mr. Su seems to know something about Brother Qi, and you, don't you also know about Brother Qi? Back then, Brother Qi was given Jiujiu by the emperor, and..."

His words came to an abrupt end, and it goes without saying that I knew he was thinking of me.

I smiled lightly, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "The matter of His Royal Highness King Qi was a sensation back then, and Qing'er also heard about it; it's a pity for a virtuous king like His Highness King Qi, but Qing'er Brother Su really has nothing to do with His Highness King Qi, His Highness Prince Jing can rest assured about this, if we have a relationship with His Highness King Qi, we may not be alive today."

"That's right. Back then, anyone who had a relationship with Brother Qi was either exiled or killed." As Jingyan said, his hands on the table were tightly clenched.

I endured the surging emotions in my heart and didn't talk to him any more.

It's already night, and the bright full moon hangs in the dark sky. I don't know what it's like at Ningguohou's Mansion. I have one more debt.

On the second day, when the news of Xie Qi's death reached Su Zhai, my fingers softened, and the brush fell to the rice paper with a thud, stained with black ink, and fainted the words I just wrote.

Xie Qi is only 22 years old. What is wrong with her is all because of my knowledge and my scheme, which made her flowery life disappear, and her youngest son was born without support.

At this moment, I don't know if my actions are right or wrong, I don't know if it's right or wrong to avenge King Qi's Chiyan Army, I don't know if it's right or wrong to tell Brother Su these things back then.

I leaned on the table and stared at the rice paper in a daze. Tears dripped on the paper, and when they touched the ink, they gradually merged into one.

Xie Yu killed so many people, I killed Xie Qi for revenge, A Cai, Han Yan and others to stop the Chi Yan case, I...will I pay it back in this life?

I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, none of them would have died, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I muttered silently, but the guilt in my heart didn't diminish at all, let me bear these things, if God wants retribution, please let Su go Brother, everything is because of me.

Now that the sword is out of its sheath, I can't turn back; I think Xia Jiang will return to Beijing soon, and he is the one I will fight in the end.

After thinking about it, I raised my head, looked at the front firmly, raised my hand to wipe away the tears, and kneaded the paper into a ball vigorously.

(nine days later)

Emperor Liang returns to Beijing from the Spring Hunting Paddock and rewards Jingyan. At the same time, Tong Lu sends news that Xia Jiang has entered Beijing.

Seeing that Xie Yu was about to be convicted, King Yu didn't know what Xia Jiang had said to Emperor Liang, and the matter of Xie Yu was tentatively decided again, so he came directly to the Su residence in a hurry.

Two hours later, King Yu left, and I slipped in through the side door of Brother Su's room.

"Xia Jiang, an old man, came to Beijing on the same day as His Majesty. I think he did it on purpose." I said almost angrily than King Yu.

Mei Changsu took out the list from his sleeve and handed it to me, but he said to me in no hurry: "You read this first before we talk about it."

I opened the list, and there were all the people Xie Yu ordered Zhuo Dingfeng to assassinate, including Li Zhongxin.

"When I was in Langzhou, you mentioned Li Zhongxin to me. At that time, I was not so sure. Now it seems that this Li Zhongxin was indeed killed by Zhuo Dingfeng. Xiaojin, how do you know that Li Zhongxin imitated it? General Nie's handwriting?"

In the last sentence, Mei Changsu said it almost in his own words, as if it was a temptation, but also a defense.

I slowly folded the list and handed it back to him, looked at him calmly and said, "It's easy to guess how the Red Flame Army was wronged back then? Isn't it based on General Nie's distress letter?" But this letter is obviously fake, but His Majesty still believes it, which means that someone imitated General Nie's handwriting; as long as you find someone who can imitate other people's writing back then, but this Li Zhongxin, at the time of the Chi Yan case, Just died, isn't it easy to explain this series of coincidences?"

After Mei Changsu listened, he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, but I clearly felt that he would not be fooled so easily in the future.

(April 27)

Fei Liu sneaked into the Xuanjing Division quietly, and conveyed the news to Xia Dong for Mei Changsu, hoping that she would secretly arrive at the prison the next day.

(April 29, Su Zhai)

Just after noon, Mei Changsu took Fei Liu Ligang to the prison.I had nothing to do in the house, so I raised my hand and wrote a letter to my eldest brother, asking about Zou Guang. After finishing writing, I picked up "Historical Records of the Han Dynasty" from the book case and read it.

The light in the room gradually turned from bright to soft. I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes lightly. I was about to take a rest and look again when the door was suddenly pushed open heavily.

I subconsciously closed the book and looked, it was Brother Su.

"Didn't you go to the prison to meet Xie Yu? What's the matter?" I immediately got up and walked forward to ask.

Mei Changsu raised his legs and stepped forward, without turning his head, he said to Li Gang, "Go out, don't come in until I tell you."

Li Gang was also at a loss, closed the door for no apparent reason and retreated.

Seeing that Mei Changsu's face was not looking good, I turned around and poured him a cup of hot tea, and just as I was about to hand it to him, he was already standing quietly behind me, so scared that the teacup slipped out of my hand.

Mei Changsu didn't care that the tea splashed on the hem of his clothes, and pressed his hands heavily on my shoulders, "Xie Yu said it, he said it, he said it clearly, what you told me back then But how did you know these things? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t suspect Xia Jiang. How did you know that Xia Jiang and Xie Yu jointly framed the Red Flame Army and King Qi? How did you know Nie Feng’s handwriting It was written by Li Zhongxin? How do you know that Xia Jiang went to prison and made a deal with Xie Yu?" He said with a little excitement.

I looked at Mei Changsu, and I knew that one day he would ask me how I knew, but the way he looks at me now is not as simple as just wanting to know an answer.

"You doubt me? Lin Shu, you suspect that I'm with them? How did I know these things? I explained them to you back then. Now that the truth comes out of Xie Yu's mouth, you start to doubt me? Lin Shu Shu, did you get infected by Jingyan? Where did that calm and sensible Mei Changsu go?" I struggled to free his hands, and looked at him with a little sadness.

Mei Changsu shook his head slightly, and said to me with tears in his eyes: "I don't want to doubt you, but whenever I think about it, there are always some things that I can't justify; you said that you only knew about it because of Princess Xuanji. How did Princess Xuanji know about these things? How did she know Jingrui's background? How did she know that Xia Jiang would go to protect Xie Yu? Could it be that she has the eyes to see all this happening? Xiao Jin, Tell me, how on earth do you know?"

"Okay, since you want me to recall it again, I'll tell you; back then I almost lost my life in my body, and only you and Sister Nihuang knew about it. My eldest brother Xiang couldn't solve it at all. It was Xuanji who secretly gave the antidote in the last days and used it to threaten Langya Pavilion, wanting Langya Pavilion to do things for her, but our Langya Pavilion will never compromise with her, so we just He had built up an enemy with her; in order to kill her, the eldest brother also killed many brothers in the pavilion. Finally, in the secret room of Hongxiu Zhao, he found her plan to restore the country, and borrowed Xie Yuxiajiang's ambition to reach a deal with them. In this way, the Red Flame Army framed His Royal Highness King Qi and shaken the foundation of the Great Liang. It was clearly written in the plan, let Xia Jiang find Nie Feng's handwriting, and hand the handwriting over to Li Chongxin who Xie Yu found. During the war, secretly cut off your correspondence to deepen Emperor Liang's suspicion, and then expose this fake distress letter, so that Emperor Liang will not listen to anyone's excuses, and will believe that you are treasonous."

As I said that, I walked to the dressing table, dumped the jewelry in the jewelry box on the table, picked up the jewelry box and threw it heavily on the ground.

The jewelry box made of porcelain was smashed to pieces, and the letter sandwiched between the lids leaked out.

I picked up the letter and handed it to Mei Changsu, and continued to say to him: "This is Princess Xuanji's plan back then, you can see it at a glance; after I found out about it, I have been trying to stop her, but after she died, I didn't catch her at all. Xie Yuxiajiang didn't have the handle, so I couldn't stop the success. That's why I chased you out of the city in the snow when you set off, and told you not to use all your strength on the imperial army, the focus is on the back! If you ask for help, don't go on the road to death! Be careful in ambush! Everything I did was because I knew about Xuanji's plan in advance, and it wasn't me and Xie Yu who knew about it; Xia Jiangguan has been in the dungeon of Xuanjing Division for nearly two months. In order to stop Xie Yu, he took the lives of all Langya Pavilion brothers in Jinling City. Now, just because what I said has come true, you don’t believe me ?”

Half of these words are true and half are false, the feelings are true, the reasons are false, even the letter Mei Changsu is reading now is also false.

Ever since I told him about Xia Jiang and Xie Yu back then, I knew there would be today, so I had someone write this letter a long time ago, and put it in the lid of the jewelry box, waiting for the catalysis of the years. Over time, no one can tell whether it is paper from 13 years ago or 14 years ago.
