Langya's dream

Chapter 180 Eight [Causal Cycle]

After the mid-night diagnosis and treatment by Concubine Jing, Mei Changsu's condition has stabilized, but his illness made Jingyan more and more suspicious of his identity, and it also made a plan in my heart clear.

Although 14 years have passed, I have not forgotten the words of drinking and making a alliance on Langya Mountain. If I remember correctly, it is not far from overturning the verdict.

Emperor Liang waited until Meng Zhi sent the letter, and finally drove back to Beijing on April [-]th.

When the mighty procession arrived at Jinling City, it was already April 23. Meng Zhi led the imperial army to meet him ten miles outside the city, and all the courtiers knelt in front of the gate to welcome them.

The first thing Emperor Liang did after returning to the palace was to seal up the entire Prince Yu's Mansion, and at the same time abolished the Yan family and moved the Yan family to Shanqing Nunnery.

His actions almost caused a sensation in most of the Liang Dynasty, and also made those partisans who were impatient in the court hall quiet for a long time.

(April 28, Sky Prison)

Mei Changsu quietly entered the sky prison. Seeing the current King Yu, he felt a little pity and a little pain in his heart; the original good Prince Qizhu fell into the status of a prisoner, but his current situation is his. self-made.

King Yu looked up and saw Mei Changsu who was walking forward, his heart was full of contempt, and he asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Mei Changsu looked at the cold cell, and said slowly, "We've finally met, and I'll see you off; if you quit as soon as possible, at least you can end up in peace and wealth, not like today Like that."

When King Yu heard this, he sneered twice, saying stop now, what's the use?He, Xiao Jinghuan, would never regret what had happened. King Yu turned around and walked to a corner to sit down, saying: "Stop it? Watch Xiao Jingyan sit on the throne, and then I will be like Prince Ji, just like Prince Ji. Prince? Hmph."

"Your ambition and obsession with the imperial power has been deeply rooted in your bones. It seems that you will not regret it."

"Of course I regret it. I regret that I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place."

Yu Wang attributes all the failures to Mei Changsu, which is actually a kind of self-consolation for his inner escape.

When Mei Changsu saw the sign hanging on the prison door, he took it down and looked at it repeatedly, not forgetting to remind King Yu that it was not Mei Changsu who killed him, but himself.

King Yu was not excited after hearing this, but just sat silently, thinking silently.

Suddenly, King Yu smiled with some relief. He thought about all the past, and said to Mei Changsu: "The siege of Jiu'an Mountain was defeated, and the end is of course death. I have nothing to regret, but I am just like King Qi back then. .”

As soon as these words came out, the resentment in Mei Changsu's heart was aroused by him. Mei Changsu hung the sign back heavily, looked at King Yu sitting in the corner, and said to him with some hatred: "Same as King Qi back then? Apart from the fact that you also live in this cold cell, what qualifications do you have to say that you are the same as King Qi? You will never be able to become Xiao Jingyu who cares about the world and the people! You are dead After that, no one will remember you, and no one will give you shame, because you have no grievances to complain about!"

"How do you know that no one will complain to me? Things in this world are unpredictable, and the cycle of cause and effect..."

"Cause and effect cycle? 13 years ago, you watched your elder brother drink poisoned wine here. You didn't say a word when he asked you to tell the emperor. Now you are standing on the same side with him. This is the retribution you deserve!"

Mei Changsu tried his best to control his emotions, temporarily suppressing those sad events from his memory.

Hearing what Mei Changsu said, King Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at him, as if he wanted to see through him. After a while, King Yu laughed a few times, and he finally understood; King Yu stopped laughing and understood. He said: "It turns out that you are the old man of King Qi, and your younger sister should be from Langya Pavilion; other than me, only she knows what King Qi said back then. It turns out that everything is just your revenge! Haha, it turns out that I am It's a pawn, I didn't know how useful I was."

Mei Changsu frowned slightly, and replied flatly, "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing about it yourself; if you don't convey those words, someone will say them."

After Mei Changsu finished speaking, he didn't want to continue talking with him, and turned to leave this place, but he hadn't walked a few steps before he heard Yu Wang Youyou's voice.

"Mei Changsu, if this is my retribution, then what is your retribution?"

Mei Changsu paused, didn't answer him, took a deep breath, and walked out resolutely.

I was waiting outside by the carriage, and when I saw Mei Changsu coming out with a heavy expression, I immediately went up to meet him, handed him the hand stove and asked, "Are you all right?"

Mei Changsu just looked down obliquely, and after a while, he said lightly, "It's okay, Princess Yu is pregnant and has been transferred to another cell. I'm wondering if I can rescue Princess Yu, after all King Yu has nothing to do with what happened back then, he was only motivated by interests."

I frowned lightly, I didn't want Princess Yu to be pregnant, it seems that God is still merciful to Prince Yu, Brother Su is right, if Princess Yu is not released from the prison, another life may be lost Go, Xie Qi's death two years ago made me feel so guilty. Now, I feel like reincarnation. If this is a chance given to us by God, we will definitely not let Princess Yu and Xie Qi be alone. result.

After thinking about it, I nodded and helped him into the carriage with Li Gang.

The Duanyang Festival, the fifth day of May, was supposed to be a sunny day, but the light rain has been falling since the early morning, tick-tock-tock-tick.

After lunch, Mei Changsu went out for Zhen Ping's convenience. Today is not only the Duanyang Festival, but also the day to replace Princess Yu from the prison; in order to perfectly replace Princess Yu today, Brother Su and Meng Zhi endured for several days. It took one night to prepare the plan perfectly.

And I have been particularly lethargic lately, maybe it's the beginning of spring, I spend most of the day sleeping, today was an exception, after sending Brother Su out, I went back to my room to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, and I was suddenly awakened by a sound. I opened my eyes dimly, and carefully identified the sound. It was Li Gang.

I responded, got up and opened the door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, news came from the prison just now that King Yu committed suicide."

"Prince Yu is dead?"

I immediately regained my energy, the news came so suddenly, it was so good, King Yu died as soon as he said it, I clearly remember that King Yu committed suicide after hearing the order!

After reacting for a while, I suddenly thought of Brother Su and the others, and quickly asked, "What about Princess Yu? Have you been rescued? Is everything safe?"

Li Gang nodded and said: "Before a stick of incense, Princess Yu had already been sent out of the city. It is said that Emperor Liang fainted on the spot after going to see it."

"It's good to send it away, it's good to send it away, King Yu is dead, his wife and children don't have to worry about anything, otherwise the debts of these years will be repaid in the next life."

I let out a long sigh of relief, thinking of these contacts with King Yu, I still feel sad; after all, he was the one who rescued me when I was near Lanyuan. It's gone, and those bad pasts will be written off.

I raised my head and told Li Gang, "Help me get the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra."

Li Gang responded and turned around and went down.

I looked at the dark and gloomy sky. It was raining all the time. I didn't know whether it was the quietness of the Su residence or the whole Jinling City. I could only hear the sound of raindrops hitting the bricks and tiles of the eaves, but no other noises.

As soon as it turned into mid-May, the weather became like a flower, and it became hot instantly. Some cicadas climbed up the branches early and screamed endlessly.

Emperor Liang lay in the Yangju Hall for a lunch break, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The sound of cicadas for the past few days was really annoying, and what made him even more upset was that he could see Concubine Chen's face when he closed his eyes, and that sentence wronged.

Emperor Liang opened his eyes and sat up, but he didn't see Gao Zhan beside him, so he shouted in displeasure, "Gao Zhan, Gao Zhan!"

Gao Zhan heard the voice outside the hall, lifted his clothes and ran in.

"Your Majesty, why did you get up again just after you lay down?" Gao Zhan said respectfully, and put the food box in his hand aside.

Emperor Liang glanced at him, then looked at his food box, and asked, "What is this?"

Gao Zhan smiled, slowly opened the food box, took out the contents and said, "This is the medicinal lily and jade dew soup made by Concubine Jing for Your Majesty. I saw His Majesty resting outside the hall just now, so I let the servants take a rest." Take it in."

Liang Di picked up the spoon and took a sip lightly. The hotness in his heart disappeared immediately, and the taste was sweet and not greasy. After a while, Liang Di drank the whole bowl, and nodded with satisfaction, satisfied Gao Zhan said: "I have always liked Concubine Jing's medicinal food. With her by my side, I don't bother at all."

As Emperor Liang spoke, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Is there a concubine missing in Jingyan's mansion?"

Gao Zhan put away the food box, nodded, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing's concubine died of illness 14 years ago, and he has never accepted a concubine since then."

"Dead from illness? I remember it seems to be..." Emperor Liang just wanted to say the word "miscarriage" when he remembered that Princess Jing was killed that year. died of illness.

Emperor Liang raised his finger to Gao Zhan, and said, "You old guy, you have a pretty good memory; now that Jingyan is not young, he should have a concubine to help him, this child has always been pure in mind, this matter of men and women If I don't help him worry about it, he probably won't be able to think of it himself."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing cares about His Majesty and the common people, so it is inevitable that he will ignore it."

"Well, you go and tell Concubine Jing that I am planning to appoint a new concubine for Jingyan, let her choose from among the daughters of the right age from various families, and finally give me a name."

After Liang Di finished speaking, he lay down on the back and finally had a rest with peace of mind.

Gao Zhan received the order, and retreated silently with a little servant and a food box.
