Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 539 Cooperation and Response

"Brother, I wonder why you came to see me today?" Prince Jing asked directly
"Jing Yan, actually, I came to you this time to talk about the same old things. Don't rush to reject me. I admit that I was a little anxious before."

"I didn't take the specific situation into consideration, but now it's different. The current situation has changed, so it naturally can't be the same as before. This is why I came." Prince Yu said directly.
"Well, my brother, the situation has indeed changed a little, but these changes don't seem to be enough to change anything, right? Why are you doing this?" Prince Jing said
"Jingyan, listen to me. This incident may not seem serious, but there are actually backup plans. Their methods will never stop here."

"You are only under house arrest this time. They will not let it go. After all, they made such a big fuss just to control the Imperial Guards."

"And your existence is the biggest obstacle for them to take charge of the Imperial Guards, so you are actually in danger now. I came here this time to have a good talk with you." Prince Yu said directly
"Brother Wang, you know me well. I am used to being an idler. I don't want to deal with things like the Chan River. So today, brother Wang, I'm afraid you'll have made a wasted trip." Prince Jing said directly.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, do you believe what you say? If you are really a carefree person, why do you always make your subordinates angry and can't forget what happened in the past?" Mei Changsu suddenly said

"Hmm? Mr. Su, do you know what you are talking about? Although I don't care about other things, this is not a reason for you to talk nonsense!" Prince Jing said with a stern face.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, why are you doing this? You should know that what I said is true. You just don't want to admit it, but you have always thought so in your heart, right?"

"To tell you the truth, I was the one who persuaded Prince Yu to come here today," Mei Changsu said.

"Hmm? Mr. Su, I admit that you are a capable person, but you, a talented person, are of no use to me because I am not interested in that position." Prince Jing said directly.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, you may not be interested in that position, but are you not interested in overturning the case? Do you not care about Concubine Jing anymore?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Hmm? Mr. Su, what do you mean by this? I need an explanation." Prince Jing said
"Explain? What to explain? Your Highness Prince Jing, you are already blocking the Crown Prince's way, and you don't have any leverage over him."

"If you were the prince, what would you do? I don't think I need to continue, right? Your Highness Prince Jing, you should understand that there are some things that cannot be avoided."

"The only one who can help you now is His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Besides, don't you plan to overturn the verdict? Do you think that if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will help you?" Mei Changsu said

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyan did not speak for a while, and Prince Yu beside him naturally did not speak either. Time passed slowly, and no one knew how much time had passed.

"Hmph, even if what you said is true, how can I know that Brother Yu will definitely help me? After all, in my opinion, there is no difference between him and the crown prince." Prince Jing said in a deep voice
"Your Highness Prince Jing, some things are just like that. I can't give you an accurate answer to this question, but between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, who do you trust more?"

"If you don't trust anyone, then you can always find a way to fight them yourself, but it seems like you don't have the capital to do so now, right?" Mei Changsu said directly.

After hearing this, Prince Jing's face turned pale and blue, and he remained silent. At this time, Prince Yu spoke at the right time, "Jingyan, I'm going to say this today. I will definitely help you overturn the case from that year."

I know you may not believe what I say, but after you listen to me, you will believe it. Regardless of whether the case was true or false, the people who benefited in the end are still here.

The first person to be affected is naturally Xie Yu. There is no room for reconciliation between him and me, so I will definitely deal with him.

"There is another person, Xia Jiang from Xuan Jing Si, Jing Yan. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. If I ascend the throne in the future, how could I possibly use Xia Jiang in a place like Xuan Jing Si?"

"I must choose a new person. As for my father? I can't guarantee anything. I don't know what you think now." Prince Yu said directly
After hearing this, Prince Jing did not speak for a while. After an unknown amount of time, he said, "Okay, I promise you, but I don't know what you want me to do, brother?"

"Hahaha, good, good, Jingyan, if you and I join forces, there's no need to worry about not accomplishing great things. What you have to do now is very simple, and that is to appease the Imperial Guards."

"We must not allow the Imperial Guards to cause any more trouble. Even if we cannot control the Imperial Guards, we must not let them fall into the hands of the Crown Prince."

"With Meng Zhi in the position of the Grand Commander, not only is my father more at ease, but I am also more at ease. From now on, you just need to do your job well."

"As for other matters, I will naturally make arrangements. By the way, I will also inform the Queen Mother about Concubine Jing, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." Prince Yu said directly
After hearing this, Prince Jing said nothing, but stood up and saluted. Seeing this, Prince Yu naturally stood up and returned the salute.

After the three of them sat down again, Mei Changsu said, "I am here, congratulations to the two princes first."

"Hahaha, thanks for your good words, sir. Hahaha." Prince Yu laughed after hearing this.
After all this was said and done, the atmosphere between the three of them naturally became much better, so after talking for another half an hour, Prince Yu left Prince Jing's Mansion on his own.

That's right, he left on his own, while Mei Changsu stayed openly. As for the reason, it was naturally to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. From today on, everything you do will become meaningful." Mei Changsu said

"Sir, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand." Prince Jing asked in confusion
"Haha, Your Highness, if some things don't enter your sight, then everything is fine. But if they enter your sight, then the other party will not be able to sit still."

"Now that you two have joined forces, His Majesty will not be able to sleep if he does not do something. So from now on, everything you do will be seen by His Majesty." "This is the meaning of what I just said, Your Highness, there are some things that His Majesty must know, otherwise all efforts will be meaningless." Mei Changsu said

After hearing this, Prince Jing finally understood what Mei Changsu meant.

And in fact, it was indeed so. Naturally, the news of their meeting was soon known to Emperor Liang. At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor Liang was staring at Xia Jiang with a serious expression.

"What did you say? You said Jing Huan went to see Jing Yan? And they talked for a long time? What did they talk about? Is there anything strange?" Emperor Liang said
"Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness Prince Yu went to see His Royal Highness Prince Jing this time, he brought someone with him, and that person was none other than Mei Changsu, the leader of the Jiangzuo League." Xia Jiang said directly.
"Hmm? Mei Changsu? Is he the talented scholar who caused so much controversy before?" Emperor Liang asked
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is this person. According to my speculation, the meeting between the two princes this time should have been initiated by this Mei Changsu."

"Because after the two princes met, after His Royal Highness Prince Yu left, Mei Changsu did not leave with His Royal Highness Prince Yu, but left half an hour later." Xia Jiang said
"Hmm? Mei Changsu, Mei Changsu, what on earth is Mei Changsu trying to do? What are Jing Huan and the other two trying to do? What on earth are they trying to do? Go check it out, quickly check it out!" Emperor Liang said directly.
After hearing this, Xia Jiang naturally bowed and left the imperial study. After he left, Emperor Liang's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

Because he vaguely felt that things seemed to be out of his control, so now he was very unhappy, he needed to think of a way, a way to make everything return to the starting point.

So after the court was dismissed the next day, he called Xiao Jingyan over directly.

"Jingyan, Meng Zhi's injury has not healed yet, so you have to take charge of the Imperial Guards. No more problems can occur." Emperor Liang said directly.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do my best." Prince Jing bowed and said
"Well, that's enough. Go down. Oh, by the way, I have nothing to do now. Go see your mother. If you want to see your mother in the future, go ahead." Emperor Liang said directly.
After hearing this, Prince Jing naturally hurriedly expressed his gratitude and then withdrew. After leaving the imperial study, Prince Jing was very excited.

Because Mei Changsu did not lie to him, there really was a change. It turned out that what he said was true. However, after the excitement, he felt a little sad.

After all, in the past, although he wanted to overturn the verdict, he had never thought of threatening his own father. But now, making a comparison, he felt a little uncomfortable again.

He was very conflicted at the moment, and with this emotion he came to Concubine Jing's bedroom. When Concubine Jing saw her son's condition, she knew that he was worried.

"Jingyan, what's wrong? Is it that things are not going well?" Concubine Jing asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, mother. Things are going very smoothly. It can even be said that they are going too smoothly. It is precisely because of this that I am a little dazed."

"Mother, could it be that everything I have insisted on before was wrong? Is it true that being born in the royal family, we really have to scheme against each other in order to live in peace?" Prince Jing said
"Jingyan, although I don't know what happened to you, there is one thing you should remember. No matter what you want to do, don't worry about whether it is right or wrong. As long as you think it is right, then do it."

"Sometimes, what others tell you is not what you want. Only you know what you want, so don't worry about it."

"Just do what you want, so that no matter what the final result is, you won't regret it." Concubine Jing looked at her son with a gentle expression.

"Well, I understand, mother. Don't worry, I will never let you down." Xiao Jingyan said

After hearing this, Concubine Jing nodded slowly. As for whether she believed it in her heart or not, it didn't matter, because many things were like this. Her thoughts were just her thoughts.

She couldn't change her son, so she could only act like she did just now, pretending that she didn't care and keeping everything in her heart.

Different from the tender affection between mother and son here, the situation on the prince's side is about to become a Shura field.

"What did you say? You said Xiao Jinghuan went to Xiao Jingyan's place? What did he go there for? Didn't he go there before? Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the emperor?" the prince said
"Your Highness, since Prince Yu dared to go there so blatantly and even left Mei Changsu behind, he must have made full preparations, so we must not take it lightly." Xie Yu said
"Well, what do you think we should do now? If Jamel Xiao really cooperates with him, then our plan and everything you have done before will be in vain!" said the prince.
"Your Highness, if you want to stop this right now, I'm afraid you have to do it yourself." Xie Yu said
"Hmm? You want me to see him? What's your reason for wanting me to see him?" the prince asked
"Your Highness, of course, we are trying to win him over. Or, we are pretending to win him over. As long as we can stop him from cooperating with Prince Yu, that will be a good result." Xie Yu said directly.
"Well, I know what you said, but my father must know about their meeting now. If I go there again at this time, it would be inappropriate." The prince said
"Your Highness, that's why you should go now. If you go, then everything will be over. We won't be able to stop them then." Xie Yu advised.

"Well, I will consider what you said. You can go back first. By the way, Shen Zhui has been investigating the case of the private brothel recently. You can go and deal with it and make him shut up." The prince said directly
After hearing this, Xie Yu knew that the prince was hesitating. But he had no other choice now, so he could only stand up, salute, and then leave the East Palace.

After he left, the prince had some other thoughts in his mind. Although he was a little stupid, he was not stupid. He knew very well what Xie Yu was pursuing now.

It conflicts with what he wants to do. If he really tries to win over Xiao Jingyan, then Xie Yu will not have a place in the imperial guards.

Xie Yu would naturally not be willing, so he asked him to pretend to win him over, but for this matter, either he didn't go, or if he went, he had to do it for real. Otherwise, he would still suffer a great loss.

So he was a little hesitant now, but when he thought of this, he simply stopped thinking about it. He went directly to his mother's bedroom and told her what happened.

"Mother, this is the current situation. Do you think I should go?" the prince asked directly.
"Son, I think you should go now, but you shouldn't go now. After all, Xie Yu is now thinking about how he can control the imperial guards."

"He doesn't have that much time to think about other things. If you go now, what if your father gets angry? How will you deal with it then?" Concubine Yue said directly.
