King's Landing [Rebirth]
Chapter 163
The ten-year winter in Yuanning was destined to be an uneasy day. After a night of snow in Wangcheng, two major events happened one after another.One is that Liang Jian, the city lord who is deeply loved by Li Yu, offended Longyan for some reason, and was ordered by Li Yu to be thrown into the sky prison, and no one is allowed to visit him.The other thing is that Qing Sijian uncovered an old case 20 years ago, Li Yu ordered a thorough investigation, and no one involved could let it go.
Liang Jian was imprisoned, and Mei Zhenghan was still waiting for him at the princess mansion, and no one came until dark. The eldest princess was not optimistic about their relationship, but seeing that Mei Zhenghan was anxious, she sent someone to the palace Asking about the news, the news about Liang Jian's accident flew into every house in the royal city like wings.
When Mei Zhenghan heard the news and accidentally broke a teacup, he got up suddenly and walked out the door without saying a word, but was stopped by the eldest princess.
"You are not allowed to go there today. Liang Jian handed you over to me because he knew that he would not return this time." More than 20 people brought by the eldest princess surrounded Mei Zhenghan, and the eldest princess stood He stopped sternly in the corridor, but his voice became much softer when he spoke later.
Mei Zhenghan looked at the eldest princess suspiciously, half-believing in her words, and agreed to wait for Liang Jian to pick him up here, so it was just an excuse made by Liang Jian?
"I don't believe it. How could he go away without returning? Your Highness, please let these people back away. I don't want to fight with them." If the Eldest Princess really holds him back, then he can only do it willfully.
The group of subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay. If they fought hard, they would definitely be able to keep Mei Zhenghan, but it was obvious that the eldest princess didn't want to hurt him, so they would be tied up.
"It's impossible for you to be ignorant of his affairs. The emperor is the emperor after all. He just doesn't want to ask about many things, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know." The eldest princess waved the subordinates to retreat first, and said, "You rush out now. It will only waste Liang Jian's efforts, he is using his own life to protect you."
Mei Zhenghan shuddered all over, with surprise in his eyes, he looked at the eldest princess in disbelief.Less than a day after he entered the royal city, he only entered the palace once, and he did not make a mistake. Why did he say that Liang Jian saved him with his life.
The eldest princess sighed, under the heavy darkness, she looked much haggard.Mei Zhenghan was still stubbornly standing in the yard, refusing to move. The Eldest Princess walked over, stared at his face, and sighed: "You already know, you are actually the child of Mu Cheng and me."
The letter Liang Jian sent to Mu's family and the matter of asking her to tie the crown for Mei Zhenghan are still vivid in my memory. The eldest princess was surprised that Mei Zhenghan and Liang Jian's relationship did not think deeply, and she quickly recalled it when she went back.Mei Zhenghan followed her without saying a word and sent her away from Hongye City, like a child who made a mistake and dared not face his mother.
Mei Zhenghan is not ignorant of his own life experience, and Liang Jian must have known about his unusual relationship. Today, Li Yu summoned the three of them successively, and it was this old incident that he brought up again.
Mei Zhenghan's pupils shrank suddenly, his fingers trembled, and his gaze towards the eldest princess became complicated.
He thought about various scenes of getting to know his parents, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene, standing with each other in the courtyard of the Princess Mansion, stepping on the snow all over the ground, expressing the fact in such a tone.There was no excitement, no joy, and it was so plain that people didn't know how to react.
Mei Zhenghan opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat.He looked at the Eldest Princess for a while, lowered his head in embarrassment, and laughed at himself: "Are you going to use your mother's status to stop me? When you broke the relationship between me and Liang Jian in Hongye City, you resisted and didn't tell me. Truth, I thought you wouldn't bring it up."
"Zhenghan, mother is not trying to stop you, but this matter is out of our control now. The emperor summoned you and me today to prove our relationship, but he also showed me the record of the official Jian Liang intending to rebel, you and Liang Jian has a very close relationship. If I recognize you in front of the emperor, it will be of no benefit to you or Liang Jian, so I deny it. For the past 20 years, I have been thinking about you all the time, even if I know Qiuniang and the others will not treat you badly, I still bear it I can't help being frightened. When I met you in Wangcheng and knew about you and Shengxue going into exile, do you know how uncomfortable I was? At that time, I wished I could recognize you and bring you back to Mobei, but I couldn't do that. "
The Eldest Princess' voice was a little choked, she took a deep breath to calm the turbulent pain in her heart, and continued: "It is not my wish to send you away, and recognizing you back will only drag you into a deeper vortex. So I would rather bear it by myself The pain of not being able to recognize each other, and I don’t want to see you sinking into the mud. It’s not unacceptable that you like Liang Jianniang. He is really good to you, but have you ever thought that once Liang Jian ascends to that position, as a member of the royal family, you will How do you deal with yourself?"
This is what the eldest princess is most afraid of. She is not worried about the present. What she is worried about is the future. After knowing Mei Zhenghan's life experience, can Liang Jian really trust him and love him without any grievances?
Li Yu had no heirs, and the successor to the throne was either Rang Xian or the children of the adopted collateral clan.Letting the virtuous is not the best way, and Li Yu killed all the offspring, leaving only the lineage of the eldest princess.Mei Zhenghan may become the most suitable successor, but Liang Jian also has his heart in his place, and Mei Zhenghan's existence will remind him all the time that his name is not right.
The eldest princess would not allow such a thing to happen, so she refused to admit Mei Zhenghan's identity in front of Li Yu.She firmly insisted that Mei Zhenghan was not a member of the royal family, and no matter how much speculation others had, it would be useless.
The matter should have ended like this, and Li Yu's indulgence to Liang Jian could easily cover up the impeachment of Liang Jian.
But in fact, Liang Jian chose another path. He wanted to exchange his life for the truth about Mei Zhenghan's life experience.The eldest princess didn't understand why he chose this way, he could pretend that he didn't know anything.And he also knew very well that when Mei Zhenghan's life experience surfaced, more people would join him.Li Yu's putting him in the dungeon can only solve a temporary problem, not a long-term solution.
Mei Zhenghan frowned at what the eldest princess said. Of course he had thought about it, but he still chose to believe Liang Jian.If Liang Jian wanted to use his identity to do something, he could have started planning two years ago, and he didn't need to wait until now to include himself in it.
Mei Zhenghan didn't understand, his life experience was originally a secret, it was a secret order issued by the Supreme Emperor himself, why did Li Yu reveal it?It doesn't do him any good.
"Why would the emperor suddenly doubt my life experience." Mei Zhenghan looked at the eldest princess, he couldn't believe it was just because of his face.
The eldest princess sighed: "It was Qing Sijian who wrote a letter saying that there was a grievance about what happened 20 years ago, and that the emperor wanted the emperor to investigate thoroughly."
Li Yu didn't tell Princess Dachang about this, Princess Dachang sent someone to find out, and she still has contacts in the palace, so it's not difficult to know.
Mei Zhenghan's feverish mind calmed down, it would be fine if someone else brought it up, but it was Qing Sijian.When he came two years ago, Qing Sijian didn't give him a good face. Why didn't he become interested in his life experience after two years, and even helped him identify his ancestors.With Zhang Si's bad temper, how could it be possible for him to admit that Qing Sijian was wrong.
There must be some key points that have been overlooked. Mei Zhenghan fell into deep thought, and suddenly remembered what Liang Jian said when he put the jade pendant on him that day.There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and everything that was unclear became clear.Liang Jian already knew what he would face when he entered the palace, because he was behind all these things.He concealed it from Mei Zhenghan because he expected that Mei Zhenghan would not agree, so he didn't say a word at all.
Mei Zhenghan's expression turned ugly for a moment, she turned around and bowed deeply to the Eldest Princess, and said, "Mother, please let me out."
The mother who came 20 years late made the eyes of the eldest princess red.Her persistence was loosened by the address she had been looking forward to for many years: "Zhenghan, it won't help if you go out, do you have to take risks?"
Mei Zhenghan shook his head: "I'm not entering the palace or going to the prison, I just need to ask someone about something. Don't worry, I'm calm now."
Mei Zhenghan didn't believe that Liang Jian would really leave him alone, he must have left behind, Wang Cheng also had his influence, what Mei Zhenghan had to do now was to ask these people to understand.
Seeing Mei Zhenghan's resolute face and firm eyes, the eldest princess knew that he had calmed down, and she was relieved.The tone also slowed down, with the inherent concern of a mother: "Do you need me to send someone to follow you?"
Mei Zhenghan was silent for a while, and said: "No need, although the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of what happened 20 years ago, but there is no result yet, and now I am safe. And it is not shameful for me to stay in the princess mansion all the time, the results come out It was better for me to live in a posthouse before.”
After Mei Zhenghan finished speaking, the eldest princess was a little disappointed. Their mother and son finally recognized each other, but they were upset because of these bad things, and they pretended to be troubled in their hearts, and they couldn't get close for a while.
Li Yu took Liang Jian into the sky prison, but did not give any instructions to Liang Jian's followers, and they stayed in the post house.Mei Zhenghan was worried that they would get the news and cause trouble, so he went back to the post house first after leaving the princess mansion.
Liang Jian was not around when the accident happened, and he had to control all the situations in Wangcheng.The strange thing is that Mei Zhenghan didn't feel panicked at all, he knew all the forces of Liang Jian, he held a fine network of relationships in his hands, knew how to attack and how to retreat, and he didn't feel in a hurry.
He carried out everything in an orderly manner, first appeasing the hearts of the people in the post house, and then went to Xianqiu.During the period, I also met Shan Chongfei. He was shocked and worried by the news, and was afraid that Mei Zhenghan would make irreparable mistakes on impulse.Fortunately, Mei Zhenghan has calmed down, and she is not what Shan Chongfei was worried about.
Xianqiu was not surprised by Mei Zhenghan's arrival, in fact, she had anticipated this situation a long time ago.
"It is indeed Liang Chengzhu who forced Qing Sijian to admit your identity. He has been planning this plan for a while, and he also guessed the ending. You have a noble status, and he holds great power, so there can only be one of you."
The boat in Buyelou is parked in the center of the lake, and the laughter and laughter inside can be heard from a long distance away. The high-ranking officials and dignitaries who spend a lot of money gamble in the brightly lit boat.
Mei Zhenghan was standing on Xianqiu's painting boat, behind him was the luxurious life of luxury in the Night Tower, his heart became colder and colder in the face of such bustle.The place like Tian Prison was dark and humid, and Mei Zhenghan felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, let alone Liang Jian was in it now.
"I don't care about the identity of the Mu family, even if I can only recognize each other secretly. He knows me so well, why would he do such unnecessary things."
Mei Zhenghan couldn't figure it out, but Xianqiu couldn't answer him because Liang Jian didn't tell Xianqiu the reason.When he mentioned these things, he didn't have the slightest sense of crisis that he was about to face a crisis.Xianqiu himself has guessed, but it is not suitable to say which one, so he chooses to remain silent.
Mei Zhenghan didn't get the answer he wanted, left the boat and stood by the lake, his heart was as cold as this snowy night.The identity of his Mu family is a sharp double-edged sword, if it is not used well, it will hurt others and oneself.Liang Jian knew it very well, but he did it anyway.
"How many things have you kept from me in the past two years?"
Mei Zhenghan was confused and still couldn't figure it out.There was a vague guess in his mind, but every time he tried to grab it, he couldn't catch anything.That idea is so shallow that I can't hold it at all.
Liang Jian was imprisoned, and Mei Zhenghan was still waiting for him at the princess mansion, and no one came until dark. The eldest princess was not optimistic about their relationship, but seeing that Mei Zhenghan was anxious, she sent someone to the palace Asking about the news, the news about Liang Jian's accident flew into every house in the royal city like wings.
