At the moment, he also uttered the rebellious talk of killing the king and seizing the throne.

Mei Changsu smiled back, and let her pull his sleeves.When he looked up, he saw Prince Jing and Meng Zhi looking at each other with strange expressions. "What's wrong?" he asked, "What happened?"

Meng Zhi subconsciously glanced at Jiu'er again.

Mei Changsu confirmed the culprit: "What? Jiu'er mischievously offended His Highness Prince Jing again?"

Without waiting for Jiu'er to explode, Prince Jing stood up and said, "It's nothing, I just said something...insignificant."

Naturally, Mei Changsu didn't believe it, and glanced over at Meng Zhi, seeing that his expression was normal, it shouldn't be an emergency, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Several people walked out of the secret room and came to the study.

Meng Zhi recounted in detail how the emperor confines the prince in the East Palace.

It has been several months since the decree of fasting and praying for the empress dowager, but because the empress dowager's condition has not improved, the emperor also upholds filial piety and has not changed the decree, so everyone in the palace can only follow suit.

The prince is used to enjoying himself, and the empress dowager is still lying in the palace of compassion, although the prince's move is out of line and violates filial piety, but the emperor is not unforgivable.What really made this lonely man intolerable was that the crown prince, whom he had always favored the most, actually had a lot of resentment towards him in his heart!

Although the emperor did not immediately order the prince to be claustrophobic, what the prince has done this time clearly has completely lost his sanctity.

The afternoon sun in autumn is still warm, the door of the study is open, facing a small piece of green bamboo forest, refreshing and quiet.

Mei Changsu sat next to the desk, listening to Meng Zhi's detailed account, while sorting out the books scattered on the floor.Jiu'er nestled on his right hand to help, skillfully picked up the booklet on the ground, glanced at it, and immediately put it back on the desk exactly according to his habit.At the end of his busy work, he simply stopped, and looked at the little girl next to him with a smile on his hands, busy with skillful movements.

After Meng Zhi finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment.Mei Changsu restrained his smile, turned sideways to pick up the important points in Meng Zhi's words, and explained them to Prince Jing.Both of them have the same quick thinking and see things clearly. They don't need to say much, and they can understand each other after a little bit.Meng Zhi was at a loss, and couldn't help complaining about such a big event as the banning of the East Palace. He didn't even receive a decree.

Hearing his complaints, Mei Changsu hadn't spoken yet, and Jiu'er had his back to the crowd, sorting the books in his hand, but laughed twice.

Mei Changsu smiled, his little girl was always smart.His Royal Highness Prince Jing still remembered her shocking words in the secret room just now, and now hearing the laughter, he couldn't help saying: "It seems that Miss Jiu'er can clear up the confusion of the Grand Commander."

All three looked at her.

"Yeah——" Jiu'er sorted out the last few booklets, thought for a while, and said as if telling a story, "When I was young, I wanted to eat Baihua cake, so I went to Third Senior Brother and asked him to make it for me. I said it again, but the third senior brother ignored me and just took care of the flowers and plants in his hands. I said it again, but he still ignored it. Just as I was about to say it for the third time, I fell to the ground and couldn’t speak."

This metaphor was a bit vague, Mei Changsu and Prince Jing both lowered their heads and smiled, they had already foreseen that Commander Meng would be confused even more.

Sure enough, Meng Zhi stared blankly at the little girl next to Mei Changsu, why did he eat?When the inner prison was murdered, the imperial dining room was used as a metaphor, and now it is Baihua cake...

Jiu'er added: "I fell on the ground and couldn't speak because Third Senior Brother poisoned me."

Commander Meng maintained the same ignorant expression.

Jiu'er was amused by him, and it was rare for him to explain patiently: "The reason why the third brother ignored me was not because he didn't hear it, but because he didn't want to make a hundred flower cake for me at all. So, no matter how many times I say it, I won't get what I want." If you get Baihua Cake, it is very likely that you will fall to the ground and die."

When the little girl said "falling to the ground and dying", she vividly swayed on Mei Changsu's body, staring and sticking out her tongue in a funny way.Mei Changsu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and his hand on her arm tightened.

His Highness Prince Jing also looked sideways.It turns out that the root cause of this style of doing things without distinguishing between friends and foes and poisoning at will is here.

Meng Zhi didn't notice the deep meaning of Jiu'er's words, and after a few back and forths in his brain, he finally sorted it out. "You mean, I implore the emperor to issue a decree, it's not that he didn't hear it, but he didn't want to pay attention to me. If I beg again and again, I will be..." The emperor can't possibly poison, but he can— "Death?!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't believe it himself. "How could His Majesty order me to die? I just did my duty, I just..."

Seeing both Mei Changsu and Prince Jing laughing, Meng Zhi immediately knew that he must have guessed wrong, and glared, "I'm a rough man, I don't understand your twists and turns, please explain clearly!"

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Your understanding is not completely wrong. You asked Ming to issue an edict. The emperor really doesn't want to pay attention to you, and he can't pay attention to you." Immediately, he explained all the secrets to Commander Meng.

Next, after the three of them confirmed their attitude of "waiting and watching" in the turmoil in the East Palace, Meng Zhi and Prince Jing got up and said goodbye.

Before King Jing walked out of the room, Jiu'er suddenly called out to him, pointed to the book case that had just been sorted out and said, "Can you return that travel note you borrowed? I want to read it!" Jiu'er didn't Lie, it was the first time for her to leave Immortal Valley, as soon as she came out she went to look for Mei Changsu, and then came to Jinling City with him, so even though she had been out for more than a year, she hadn't been anywhere yet.But she had already figured it out, and when Mei Changsu's affairs here in Jinling were over, they would go to many, many places together.She had only read half of the "Xiang Di Ji", and she must write down every novel and interesting place she saw, so that she could go with Brother Su in the future.

As the question came out, both Mei Changsu and Meng Zhi looked at His Highness Prince Jing.

Prince Jing turned around and said, "Sorry, this book is now with my concubine mother, and I will send it back in a few days."

In a word, Mei Changsu was startled for a moment, but only for a moment, and then he said calmly, "Jiu'er is bound to be bored when I am detained in the capital, so he prefers to read these travel notes. His Royal Highness Prince Jing laughed."

Prince Jing slightly bowed and said, since it is borrowed, he must return it.After the three said their farewells, Prince Jing and Meng Zhi left through the secret path.

Mei Changsu turned around and saw the tired little girl in red crouching on the mat peeling oranges, met his gaze, and smiled back.

He walked over to sit down, and Jiu'er immediately rubbed over.Mei Changsu reached out to take the orange in her hand, peeled off the unpeeled orange peel, and carefully peeled off the white strands from the orange petals, and handed it to her.

Jiu'er rolled his eyes with a smile, gave him a petal and ate one for himself.

"Brother Su doesn't want that Prince Jing's mother to see "The Story of the Xiangdi"?"

Mei Changsu was no longer surprised that she always guessed what he was thinking. "Concubine Jing may discover something that Brother Su doesn't want others to know for the time being."

"What happens if you find out?"

Mei Changsu thought for a while, then smiled relievedly: "It's nothing if I found out. Concubine Jing has always been extremely intelligent, so she should understand that there are some things that cannot be uncovered."

Jiu'er even rubbed against him, leaned over to pillow on his lap, grabbed his sleeve and played with it in her hand.

"Brother Su!"

"Ah."

"I've already made up my mind about the first place we'll go after we leave Jinling!"

"Don't you need to go back to Immortal Valley first?"

"Let's go back after playing enough!"

"Does Jiu'er dislike Jinling City?"

"Brother Su doesn't like it either."

"Yes, Brother Su doesn't like it either. Wait... we'll leave."

……

The sky gradually faded away.got windy.

The rustling autumn wind passed through the green bamboo forest, making a leisurely sound, and the surrounding scenery became quiet.When everything goes too smoothly, people can't help feeling anxious for no reason, feeling that there is a huge ax hanging above their heads, ready to smash down at any time, and smash everything in front of them.Especially, when you are still walking a difficult road.

But no one can stop walking.People live in this world, there are so many things you want, but you often don't get what you want.This is real.Mei Changsu understood this reality very thoroughly.And now, he has what he wants again.This time, he will not repeat the same mistakes.

Chapter 29

"Brother Su! Brother Su! Come out!"

Jiu'er yelled "Come out", but she kept running into the house with a surprise smile on her face.Mei Changsu looked away from the book, and saw some snow particles brought in behind her.

"Is it snowing?" Seeing that the little girl was holding the cloak in her hand, she knew she couldn't sit still, so she stood up from behind the desk in cooperation.

"That's right!" Jiu'er jumped in front of him, tiptoed to help him tie his cape, "Can I accompany Brother Su to see the snow?"

Mei Changsu flicked her forehead with his fingers, and couldn't help laughing, "Who is accompanying whom?"

Jiu'er immediately climbed up the pole, with his hands hanging around his neck, his brows were wrinkled, and his face changed into an extremely sad expression. When he opened his mouth, he let out a long sigh.Mei Changsu was amused by the little man's change of face, and heard her continue to say in a low voice: "It can only be that I stayed with Brother Su in every possible way, whoever made my Brother Su almost be killed by a certain prince?" Your Highness stole it!"

Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh: "Use idioms indiscriminately! Talk nonsense!" followed by two indifferent brains.

But he also knew that the little girl's complaint was true.

Prince Jing, Xiao Jingyan, was proclaimed a prince and added a five-bead crown. In the court hall, he has already shown his potential to contend with Yu Wang. While a new political structure is being formed, it also heralds the start of a new round of battle.It will undoubtedly be a busy winter.

The two stood side by side under the eaves of the corridor, quietly colorful snowflakes scattered
