Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 536 Wrestling
At this time, in Xie Yu's study in Ningguo Marquis Mansion, Xie Yu was discussing something with Zhuo Dingfeng.

"Brother Zhuo, you did a good job this time. Now it's up to me." Xie Yu said with a smile

"My Lord, will this matter really work? After all, he is just an eunuch, so it doesn't seem to have any impact, right? Should we kill some people of high status?" Zhuo Dingfeng asked puzzledly.

"Haha, Brother Zhuo, many things are not as simple as they seem. Although the status of this eunuch is not high, he was sent by His Majesty."

"Now that he's dead, it's a slap in the face of His Majesty, so it's enough. But he alone is not enough. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Zhuo again in a few days." Xie Yu said
"It's okay. This kind of thing is not difficult. As long as you ask, I can kill you at any time. But, what about the Xuan Jing Division?" Zhuo Dingfeng said worriedly.

"Brother Zhuo, don't worry. Even if the Xuan Jing Division finds out something, they won't say anything. After all, there are many things they can't get involved in." Xie Yu said
After hearing this, Zhuo Dingfeng felt much more relaxed. Seeing this, Xie Yu knew that he believed what he said, so he continued, "Brother Zhuo, this matter must not be known to outsiders."

"Don't worry, my Lord. I have arranged for my trusted aides to handle this matter. There will be no problem. My Lord, we have been here for quite some time. Do you think it is time to leave?" Zhuo Dingfeng said

"Yes, yes, yes, look at me, it's true. Today is such a good day, we can't stay here all the time. Come on, let's go out, Brother Zhuo." Xie Yu said directly
After hearing this, Zhuo Dingfeng nodded, and the two of them got up and left the study. The two families gathered together again, talking and laughing, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

At this time, Emperor Liang had already called Xia Jiang's two beloved disciples into the palace and gave them direct instructions.

"Junior sister, where do you think we should start investigating the task His Majesty has assigned us this time?" Xia Chun said
"Brother, you are testing me again. Of course, I have to go and see the body first." Xia Dong said
After hearing this, Xia Chun didn't say anything. The two of them quickly arrived at the place where the bodies were kept. After a careful inspection, they both had the answer in their minds.

"Junior sister, it seems that we can't investigate this case any further. Should we go and tell Master now? Ask Master for his opinion?" Xia Chun said
"Brother, we are just suspicious now. We haven't done anything yet. If we go to find the master now, it would be too perfunctory."

"I think we should wait until we have confirmed it before reporting it to Master, and then let him decide how to report it to His Majesty." Xia Dong said
"Junior sister, what you said makes some sense, but, but, this involves the affairs of the two princes, we must be more cautious, after all, we always have to consider the future, right?"

"Junior sister, I know what you want to say, but we can't just think about ourselves. Don't forget that we still have so many brothers in Xuan Jing Division."

"If this goes wrong, how will our Xuan Jing Division cope with the situation when the new emperor ascends the throne? So just listen to my advice, investigate what should be investigated, and what should not be investigated?" Xia Chun said
"Brother, I know everything you said, but His Majesty wants results now. You can't just leave without any results, right?" Xia Dong said
"Junior sister, I know. I just want to say, don't be anxious about anything. Take your time. You have to give some people time to deal with it properly, right?" Xia Chun said.
"Okay, I understand, Senior Brother. I will slow down. I want to see what they want to do!" Xia Dong nodded after hearing this.

After hearing this, Xia Chun was a little confused. It seemed that what he said just now was in vain. However, his junior sister has always been like this, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

At this time, Prince Jing had some time because he was under house arrest. This time, Mei Changsu did not stay in the tunnel, but appeared directly in Prince Jing's room.

"Sir, what should we do now? I always feel that this matter is not that simple." Prince Jing said
"Your Highness, this matter is indeed not that simple. This time those people went after Meng Zhi, and their purpose is also very clear, which is to take charge of the Imperial Guards."

"But in this case, your existence, Your Highness, becomes an obstacle. Even if His Majesty no longer trusts Meng Zhi because of this incident, you are still standing in the way."

"So, Your Highness, you must be careful next time. You have become a stumbling block now." Mei Changsu said

"Now I have been confined to my palace by my father, what else can they do to me?" Prince Jing said
"Your Highness, although you are under house arrest now, don't forget that Concubine Jing is not. This incident alone is far from enough to shake Meng Zhi's position."

"They must have a backup plan, and the place that is most likely to cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction is naturally the palace. If there is a mess at that time, what will happen to Concubine Jing?" Mei Changsu said

"What? This, sir, I don't know, what should I do now?" Prince Jing said
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I have thought it through. Your Highness, you only have one choice at this moment, and that is to support Prince Yu. Only Prince Yu can help you right now."

"After all, the Queen has been in charge of the six palaces for many years. Although Concubine Yue has been promoted by His Majesty, her status is still not high enough, so she is naturally suppressed in the harem."

"As long as the Queen is truly willing to help, then everything will be fine." Mei Changsu said

"Sir, from what you said, could it be that the person behind this incident is the prince?" Prince Jing said
"Your Highness, have you guessed it? That's right, the person behind this incident is the Crown Prince. I already know the murderer, but I just don't have any evidence." Mei Changsu said

"But sir, how can I make Prince Yu believe that I want to help him? After all, I am still under house arrest and cannot go out at all." Prince Jing said directly
"It's okay, Your Highness, just rest assured. I'm here for you. I'll take care of this matter. Your Highness, you just need to cooperate with me at the critical moment." Mei Changsu said with a smile

"Okay, I understand, sir. Just give me your instructions when the time comes." Prince Jing said
"Okay, Your Highness, it's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll come back when I'm done. Then I'll tell Your Highness what you should do next." Mei Changsu said

After hearing this, Prince Jing nodded, then personally sent the person into the tunnel and returned to his room. When Mei Changsu returned to his room, he began to think about what to say when he met Prince Yu.

That's right, he didn't plan to wait any longer. He planned to go there right away. After all, many things would change if delayed, and it was hard to tell when the situation would change.

"Sir, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I'm waiting for you at home. You've been waiting here for so long in vain." Prince Yu hurried back and said

"Your Highness, it's okay. Actually, I came here because the situation is urgent. I thought of something that Your Highness needs to do immediately. If you delay, there may be trouble." Mei Changsu said

"Oh? Sir, what's the matter? What can make you so anxious?" Prince Yu asked. "Your Highness, last time I asked you to tell the Queen about the matter, I wonder if you did it? Is the Queen ready?" Mei Changsu said

"Don't worry, sir. I went straight to the palace after you left last time. My mother has made some preparations. Even if there are problems, it won't matter." Prince Yu said hurriedly.
"Is that so? I feel relieved. Your Highness Prince Yu, besides this matter, you have to do one more thing. Do you remember what I first told you about Concubine Jing?"

After hearing this, Prince Yu naturally said directly, "Of course I remember, but wasn't it because Jingyan's identity changed that we had to avoid suspicion? Is there a change now?"

"Your Highness, things have indeed changed now. You must continue to do that thing, and you must ask the Queen to protect Concubine Jing and never let her get into trouble." Mei Changsu said

"Sir, I don't know what the reason is?" Prince Yu asked

"Your Highness, this is a different time now. In the past, we did have to take His Majesty's feelings into consideration, but now, it's no longer possible. We can no longer be cautious."

"It is obvious that this incident was done by the Crown Prince's side, and their purpose in doing so is naturally to take charge of the Imperial Guards, so they will definitely make some moves in the harem next."

"It doesn't matter whether Meng Zhi can be saved or not, but Prince Jing must be saved. After all, the position of the commander of the imperial guards cannot fall into Xie Yu's hands."

"As long as Prince Jing is still the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Xie Yu will never be able to lead the Imperial Guard. Even if it is his turn, it won't be his turn." Mei Changsu said directly.

After hearing this, Prince Yu did not speak for a while, but fell into deep thought. Mei Changsu, who was dressed simply, did not urge him, but waited quietly for Prince Yu to speak.

"Sir, what you said makes sense, but I am a little worried. Although Xiao Jingyan has never had any thoughts about the throne, what if, what if he does?" Prince Yu said worriedly
"Your Highness, since I have brought up this matter, I will naturally have a solution. I believe that you are well aware of Prince Jing's temperament."

"The reason why he has not been reused in recent years is because he is too sentimental and cannot forget what happened back then. I guess he has not given up the idea of ​​overturning the verdict until now."

"As long as the Empress can control Concubine Jing, and you pretend to agree to help Prince Jing overturn the case, then he will naturally assist you wholeheartedly." Mei Changsu said

"What? You want me to agree to overturn his verdict? Sir, you may not know much about what happened back then. That was something you couldn't just play with." Prince Yu hesitated.
"Your Highness, didn't I tell you? It's fake. You just need to pretend to agree to him. I think this shouldn't be a problem for you, Your Highness?"

"It's true that this matter is a concern of Your Majesty, but you only promised to overturn the verdict, and you didn't say that you would overturn the verdict when Your Majesty or I are here, and you didn't say that you must do it, right?" Mei Changsu said directly.

"Sir, is Nuomi asking me to go back on my word? Is that right?" Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have not been fussy about small details. It's not that some things can't be done, as long as no one knows about it, right?"

"Your Highness, don't worry. What I seek in this life is not wealth and glory. What I want is to be able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away, and to have the fun of fighting with others."

"Compared to the rewards you gave me after you ascended the throne, what I want more is the process of assisting you in ascending the throne. This is my greatest pursuit in this life." Mei Changsu said

"Please don't blame me, sir. I was just being overly suspicious. I will do everything according to your wishes. However, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take care of Prince Jing." Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will leave this matter to you. By the way, Your Highness, the guards in the palace should be strengthened recently. A large number of experts from Tianquan Villa are coming to the capital."

"If the prince has any inappropriate thoughts, your situation will be very dangerous, so you must be careful. I will take my leave now." Mei Changsu said directly.

After saying this, Mei Changsu stood up to leave, and Prince Yu naturally followed closely behind him. He escorted the man out of the mansion and then went to his own room. At this time, Prajna had been waiting for a long time.

"Prajna, what do you think of Mei Changsu coming to talk to you this time? Is there any problem?" Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, no matter what Mei Changsu said in the end was true or false, at least the previous ones were still a good strategy. We should really hurry up." Prajna said
"Well, I will go to the palace tomorrow. I don't know if the Xuanjing Division has started." Prince Yu said
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. According to past practice, the Xuanjing Division must have already started by now. After all, Your Majesty cannot really think that Meng Zhi can find out all this." Prajna said
After hearing this, Prince Yu nodded directly. In fact, at this time, the Xuan Jing Division did find some clues, but they had not yet taken the next step.

At this time, in Xia Jiang's public housing, he was sitting there, listening quietly to the reports from Xia Chun and the others.

"That is to say, this case was most likely done by Tianquan Villa?" Xia Jiang said
"Yes, Master. From some clues we have found recently, the person who did it must be from Tianquan Villa. I just don't know who it is." Xia Dong said
"Tianquan Villa, Tianquan Villa, forget it, just continue your investigation. After all, His Majesty must give an explanation. As for the rest, don't worry about it for now." Xia Jiang said
Xia and Dong also heard the embarrassment in these words, so they simply bowed and left.

After they left, a solemn look emerged on Xia Jiang's face. Xia Jiang was in a complicated mood at this moment. He wanted to investigate all the way and show no leniency.

But he also knew very well that Xie Yu must be behind this. In the end, the investigation would lead to Xie Yu being the one responsible. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either.

He couldn't do anything to Xie Yu. At most, he would just have to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. But this was not what he wanted. After all, his relationship with Xie Yu was very complicated.

He was afraid that Xie Yu would not die, and he was also afraid that Xie Yu would be in bad luck. If it was a serious crime, it would be fine to just execute the whole family, but he was afraid that a crime like the current one would be a huge trouble for him.
