Chapter 197 Impulse
late at night.

After receiving Zhang Yang's order, Jing Wuming returned to his residence and said to his subordinates: "All nails must be pulled out tonight."

"promise."

Snow hut.

This night was not very peaceful.

About an hour later, an unexpected visitor arrived late at night.

In fact, seriously speaking, this person cannot be called a visitor, because the snow lu where Mei Changsu currently lives was originally her home. It's just that she has never paid a visit in such a long time.

The surprise in Mei Changsu's heart was not shown on his face. He gently comforted Fei Liu who heard the noise and returned to the room. He smiled at Princess Liyang and bowed.

"The wind has started blowing outside. I heard that Mr. Su is not in good health. Let's go to the room to talk." The eldest princess had a cold expression, but her words were quite gentle. Seeing Mei Changsu turning sideways to give way, she did not give in. She took the lead. Stepping inside, untying the straps of the gold silk cloak in the warm warmth that hits your face.

This time she came quietly alone, with no maid around her. Mei Changsu stepped forward to catch the cloak she took off, hung it on a hanger nearby, took the teapot from the smoker, and poured her a cup. Hot tea.

"Among the shortlisted candidates this time, there are two who are secretly satisfied by the Holy Emperor and want to be assigned to the princess. Do you know who they are?"

Mei Changsu naturally shook his head immediately.

Mei Changsu turned his head and hid the sympathy rising in his eyes.

Seeing that she had swallowed her words mid-sentence, Mei Changsu smiled slightly and took over the second half of the swallowed sentence, "Princess, you are afraid that you are here early. Is Jingrui still here? So, there are some things that you want to give alone." Su?"

But it is precisely because she knows that he is by no means an ordinary person, and that he must have strength that ordinary people cannot estimate, that Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, who lives in seclusion, comes to this small guest house alone in the quiet of the night.

Hearing such a request, even though Mei Changsu was so determined, a trace of surprise that could not be concealed flashed across his face: "What does Her Royal Highness mean by these words?"

"No matter what the words are, since you are here, you have to say them. Please don't hesitate any more, princess." Mei Changsu took in the visitor's expression with a glance, and then said slowly, "His Highness ordered If the matter is within Su Zhe's ability, he should take orders. If it is something Su Zhe is unable to do, he will not talk about it and publicize it to the outside world. Please rest assured. "

The corners of Princess Liyang's lips twitched slightly, as if she didn't want to explain in detail at all, but she knew very well that there was no way to win people's trust without revealing more.

Princess Liyang picked up the tea cup, but did not bring it to her mouth. She just put her palm against the wall of the cup like a warm hand. After a while, she said: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but if you come early, I'm afraid... …”

Princess Liyang's eyes were slightly focused, as if she had made up her mind, and the tea cup in her heart was unconsciously placed on the table. She raised her head and looked directly into Mei Changsu's eyes, and said word by word: "Mr. Su, please save me." Save Nihuang.”

When she said these words, Princess Liyang's expression was extremely calm and her tone was very indifferent, but her eyes that were gradually turning red and her stiff and pale fingers pressing on the table betrayed her boiling and excited mood.

"I understand what Mr. Su is thinking." Of course, observing words and emotions is not Jiang Zuo's unique secret skill. The eldest princess who has lived in the wind and clouds since she was a child can also do it. As her eyes moved slightly, a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Nihuang is indeed very strong, so strong that there seems to be no need to protect her... But Mr. Su, you don't understand that no matter how strong a woman is, she is just a woman after all. Some things don't matter to men, but to women, they can be enough to destroy her. The blow to her will. If Nihuang already has a sweetheart, the blow will be even more severe, and it will make her feel that it doesn’t matter who she marries or what kind of life she will live in the future..."

He is in charge of the largest gang in the world and is a respected friend of the top nobles in Kyoto. He has a bodyguard who can compete with the top masters in Daliang. Both the prince and Prince Yu are trying hard to recruit them, and they are favored by Princess Nihuang. The relationship was ambiguous, and all these factors combined made it impossible for even the aloof Princess Liyang to regard him as an ordinary commoner.

Princess Liyang raised her head and glanced at him. If Su Zhe is a commoner, and the rank difference between him and the imperial sister is as big as clouds, the word "instruction" is still modest. However, the many auras surrounding this person are quite dazzling, which makes Su Zhe a commoner. People can't pinpoint his identity for a while.

"What wouldn't people in the capital dare to do for their own purposes?" Princess Liyang didn't know what she thought of, with a hint of pain in her eyes, "Nihuang alone represents the entire stance of the Yunnan Palace and represents With the strength of one hundred thousand cavalry in the southern border, isn’t this weight worth the risk?”

Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly. Of course, he had weighed the importance of Princess Nihuang repeatedly, so he always wanted to find a way to make her fully support Prince Jing. Of course, others would not let go of this opportunity. It's just that... given Princess Nihuang's current strength and her resolute character, who dares to take advantage of her, and who can really achieve her goal through conspiracy and tricks?

"Your Highness, the eldest princess," Mei Changsu pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "I admit that what you said makes sense, but I still can't think of any specific method that can achieve such an effect?"

"Listening to what Your Highness is saying, could someone still dare to trick the princess?"

How and why things happened back then are too secretive and too long ago. Even if they have been deliberately investigating in the past few years, nothing valuable has been found. Maybe the truth is only hidden in the hearts of those few people, and no one will tell it.

"I heard that Nihuang values ​​​​mister very much. I think there is friendship between you." Princess Liyang waved her hand to stop Mei Changsu who seemed to want to clarify this statement, and motioned for him to listen to what she said, "Although Nihuang is smart, , but after all, she was always in the vassal territory, and she didn’t understand how deep and muddy the water in the capital was. She believed that the Yunnan vassal was valuable, and she was a master among masters. She had a game mentality towards this husband-in-law selection, always feeling that everything would be under control. She was a bit careless in her control.”

He has no memory of the previous Princess Liyang, who was neat and cheerful, with a fiery temperament, and competed with the princes every time she went out for hunting. He only remembered complaining to his mother that Aunt Liyang was too cold and difficult to get close to. , those sighs that my mother murmured to herself.

"Sima Lei, the prince's son, and Liao Tingjie of the Zhongsu Hou family."

"Yeah." Mei Changsu was not surprised by this answer. Of these two people, the Sima family happened to support the crown prince, while Marquis Zhongsu supported King Yu, which was quite balanced. I don't know if it was the emperor's intention or it was just a coincidence.

"But according to the current competition system, unless the princess lets go, neither of them will have a chance of winning."

"Yeah." Mei Changsu nodded again. Not just the two of them, but all ten of them.

"So some people are anxious. Because the support of Yunnan Mu Mansion is too tempting, but if the matter cannot be finalized while the princess remains in the capital, she will inevitably have to do twice the result with half the effort when she returns to Yunnan." Princess Liyang He suddenly sneered, "At this time, Nihuang's own thoughts are no longer within the scope of consideration by people like them. What the people in the palace are best at is doing whatever it takes. Some people who know the past can't help but want to imitate them again. A repeat of the Queen Mother's methods back then..."

Speaking of the Queen Mother, Mu Changsu's heart moved again. Yes, now that I think about it, I have the impression that Princess Liyang rarely returns to Ning, and I have never seen her say a word to the Queen Mother. It's just that there were too many colorful things in my life at that time, and I didn't pay any attention to this abnormal situation.

Princess Liyang closed her eyes, as if to calm down her mood. Because what I’m going to talk about next is the core part of the entire technique.

"There is a kind of wine in the palace called 'Qing Si Luo'. Just one cup of it has a hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effect. If a woman drinks it, she will mistakenly think that the man next to her is the person she misses and loves the most. Inspired by the power of the drug, she took the initiative to ask for sex. Since she didn't know that this kind of alcohol existed in the world, even if she sobered up afterwards, she would think that it was because of her weak will and lack of moral integrity after being drunk. In addition, she took the initiative. , let alone be angry at that man. Under the shame and despair, life is really worse than death in my heart. But death is the only choice in the history, and death at this time is even more nameless. No matter how many words I have never said, I will never die. It is impossible to say it out loud. If someone you trust comes to persuade you when you are at a loss, you will not be able to resist at all. You can only be manipulated by others..." After Princess Liyang said this, her tone gradually changed. With that kind of sadness and sorrow, even the dullest person can hear that what she said is the deepest feeling in his heart.

Mei Changsu stood up and walked slowly to the other end of the room. He turned away from her and waited silently for her to regain her composure.

After about a cup of tea, Princess Liyang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mr. Su is laughing. The woman who was framed back then is my closest sister, so I was a little excited for a moment. Please don't mind, sir." "Why did the princess say this? This kind of thing is really outrageous. Even if she is not the princess's sister, she can't help but feel angry and sympathize with her. It's just that Su doesn't understand who the princess...sisters are in love with, which would make the queen mother so opposed, or even No matter what..."

Princess Liyang's long-sighted gaze seemed to penetrate the vast distance of time and land on that distant point, "He is...a proton sent from Nanchu to Daliang..."

Mei Changsu understood immediately and couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

"Although Nihuang is not my blood relative, her dazzling look often reminds me of the past, and I feel envious in my heart." Princess Liyang seemed to have finally overcome the extreme pain, and her expression gradually turned calm, "If anyone wants to treat her I will stop him from using such despicable means at all costs, and I hope you can help me.”

Mei Changsu's eyes flashed, he paused, and finally asked: "How did Her Royal Highness...find out about this conspiracy?"

Although Princess Liyang knew that he would ask this question, she still couldn't help but turned her face to the side and avoided the two less intense gazes. After a long time, she said softly: "Xie Bi, this kid, is going to be involved again." He went in, but he wasn't ruthless enough, and I saw that he was uneasy, so I asked him after I pressed him..."

"Oh," Mei Changsu nodded and asked the next question, "As His Highness, there are many ways to prevent this matter. Why did you single out Su?"

Princess Liyang laughed self-deprecatingly and said coldly: "Are there multiple ways? I don't think so. The matter has not been settled yet. Should I question the mastermind? They won't admit it. Report it to His Majesty the Emperor? Isn't this just empty talk? Evidence. If you go to the palace to stop them, who knows when they will take action? What use will the identity of the eldest princess be at this time? "

Mei Changsu thought for a moment and wanted to ask her why she didn't ask her husband for help, but suddenly realized that this method was the same as before. Even if Xie Yu was not an accomplice back then, but was used by the Queen Mother, then he was still a vested person. It is a bit embarrassing to discuss with the person who gained the benefits, not to mention that if he really helps to stop it, he will definitely offend the mastermind to death. Xie Yu is not a hot-blooded young man, so he may not be willing to do it.

After thinking about it, Her Royal Highness the Princess really has no one to turn to, which is sad and lamentable, but...

"Your Highness, even if Su wants to help, as a commoner, I'm afraid he won't be able to help..."

"Aren't you on good terms with Princess Nihuang? Besides, you will see her tomorrow. Please inform her of this news then, sir, and ask her to be careful when dealing with the ladies in the palace. You should be safe."

"Why don't you tell the princess yourself?"

"I have always been indifferent. Although I secretly admire Nihuang, I have never had a close relationship with her. She may not believe me. More importantly, they already know that I have discovered this matter. As soon as I enter the palace, there will be a queen. Accompanying you, there is no chance to talk to the princess alone... Fortunately, my husband lives in the Marquis Mansion, and I still have some strength here. I am confident that I can hide it from those people when I visit late at night, but it is just troublesome. Sir."

Mei Changsu looked at her intently and said with deep meaning: "I don't have a close relationship with the eldest princess. It's an honor to have such trust."

The eldest princess of Liyang, Lan Xinhuizhi, couldn't understand why. She smiled faintly and said: "It's a bit presumptuous to come here suddenly. But firstly, there is really no one else to turn to. Secondly, I know that my husband has a good relationship with Nihuang. Thirdly, come here, Jing Rui always has nothing to say about you in front of me. This child has a pure heart, and the people he likes to respect will not be ordinary people. However, I also considered it before coming here, so this might offend the powerful. Even if you don’t agree to my request, it’s reasonable, sir, please think carefully.”

After the eldest princess said these words, she lowered her head and drank tea quietly. Mei Changsu stared at the inconspicuous white hair mingled among the dark clouds on her head, and suddenly her heart felt slightly sour, and she felt a sense of trance.

"It's late at night, Princess, please come back." The sound of drums came from outside the window. Mei Changsu took off the gold silk cloak from the hanger, gently draped it on her weak shoulders, and said slowly, "The princess is also Su. My friend, you should do your best. Please invite Her Royal Highness to the palace tomorrow so that you can act accordingly."

After receiving his promise, Princess Liyang said no more, put the top pocket of her cloak over her head, quietly left the courtyard, and disappeared into the darkness in a short time.

"Mr. Su's place is really wonderful tonight."

Zhang Yang looked at Mei Changsu who was standing in front of the steps. Behind Zhang Yang stood Fei Liu, holding a cloak in his hand.

"Your Highness stayed up late at night, why did you come to see Su?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I just didn't expect your acting skills to be so outstanding. I've told you about the love affair a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be so pretentious in front of the eldest aunt."

Mei Changsu said with a smile: "If I show this kind of thing about the Royal Inner Court, then Her Royal Highness the Princess will doubt me."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "That's right."

"It's going to be a long night, and I really don't want to sleep, but there's one person who probably won't be able to sleep either."

"But His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Yang looked at Mei Changsu and said, "You are so smart that you could easily die early." After saying that, he went in.

Cao Zhengchun had already prepared tea. Zhang Yang sat down and said, "This tea is good, you should try it too."

Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, it is not appropriate to drink tea late at night."

Zhang Yang waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't be so pretentious."

"Why don't you guess who the prince sent to lurk around King Yu."

Mei Changsu said: "It seems that His Highness already knows."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I already know the prince's insider information in each government." After speaking, he took out the list and waved it.

"However, tonight, all the insiders in my palace and those under Prince Yu will suddenly die suddenly."

Mei Changsu looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Your Highness, can't wait?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Time waits for us not, my father is already old."
