The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Although the young master is a master of martial arts, and is rare in the world, this is the capital of Daliang after all, and Xie Yu is a first-rank military marquis of Daliang. I am willing to take the risk of assassinating Xie Yu because it is my responsibility as a daughter; but I cannot let the young master help me do this, because no matter whether it succeeds or not, once the assassination of a first-rank military marquis is exposed, I will definitely be wanted by the Daliang court. So the young master treats me so well, I cannot harm him."

Qin Prajna sighed, "Miss Gong Yu, you are so affectionate and loyal. It is really a blessing for Gongzi Yu to have your true love."

She believed what Gong Yu said. Gongzi Yu was indeed quite famous, but more in the martial arts world. Perhaps he had written some poems and had some fame in the literary world, but compared with the huge Daliang court, how could a grain of rice compete with the bright moon?

Gong Yu whispered, "It is my honor to meet you, so I must not harm him. Miss Qin, you must keep this a secret for me."

Qin Ban nodded weakly and said, "Don't worry, I will."

After making the promise, she suddenly asked, "Miss Gong Yu, if you have the chance in the future, will you seek revenge on Xie Yu?"

When Xie Yu was mentioned, Gong Yu's face was filled with hatred: "Of course, Xie Yu killed my father and made my mother depressed. I have an irreconcilable hatred with him. As long as I have the chance, I will definitely take revenge."

Seeing Gong Yu's determination, Qin Banruo did not test her again. Instead, he asked Gong Yu to have a good rest and walked out of the room.

Gong Yu was relieved to see Qin Banruo leave. It seemed that her performance was fine and Qin Banruo was fooled as she expected.

After Zhou Chen confirmed that Gong Yu was not in danger, he left Hong Xiu Zhao. He knew that Qin Banruo would not let Gong Yu leave at this time. This was also part of their plan.

The next morning, Qin Banruo rushed to Prince Yu's Mansion, ready to tell Prince Yu the news.

Speaking of Xie Yu, she still remembered hearing about the matter of Prince Sheng of Nanchu and Princess Liyang of Daliang from the traveling merchants of Nanchu. She told Prince Yu, and Prince Yu said he would ask the Queen for confirmation. She didn't know what the result was now.

"Jingrui, Yujin, you two haven't been here for a long time. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Zhou Chen brought the visiting Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin into the main hall and greeted them, and asked with a smile.

Xiao Jingrui was about to speak when Yan Yujin spoke first: "Brother Yu, Jingrui's birthday is in a few days. We came here today to send an invitation. We want to invite Brother Yu to the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate Jingrui's birthday."

Xiao Jingrui glared at Yan Yujin and said, "What birthday are you celebrating? It's not my birthday. Brother Yu, April 12 is my birthday. I want to invite Brother Yu to come to my place for a gathering. Brother Su will also go with me then."

"Jingrui, it's your birthday, so I must go."

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up and he agreed without hesitation. Then he frowned, as if hesitating about something.

Xiao Jingrui saw Zhou Chen's expression and asked with concern: "Brother Yu, is there anything difficult?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's not that I'm embarrassed. I was just thinking, Jingrui, what gift should I give you for your birthday? I'm good at giving gifts to girls, but I don't have much experience giving gifts to male friends, haha."

Xiao Jingrui said solemnly: "Brother Yu, you are joking. I am very happy that you can go. Forget about the gifts."

"How can that be possible? You can't go to a birthday party empty-handed, right, Yujin?"

"Brother Yu is right. I have prepared a gift for Jing Rui. If you don't know what to give, I can give you some advice."

Yan Yujin looked very enthusiastic, he quite liked this kind of fun activities.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? Gifts are a token of my thoughts. How can I ask you for help? Jing Rui, don't worry. I will definitely give you a gift that will satisfy you."

Xiao Jingrui wanted to postpone it, but Yan Yujin said, "Really? Can Brother Yu tell us about it?"

"Alright, Yujin."

Xiao Jingrui couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Yan Yujin. He then said to Zhou Chen, "Brother Yu, you really don't have to be polite. Anything is fine."

Zhou Chen just smiled. He really wanted to prepare a good gift for Xiao Jingrui.

"Jingrui, can I bring Gong Yu with me on your birthday? Gong Yu is good at playing the zither, and she can perform a song for Princess Li Yang and Lord Xie."

"Ms. Gong Yu? Of course no problem."

Xiao Jingrui agreed immediately. He knew the relationship between Zhou Chen and Gong Yu. He had a cheerful personality and would not look down on brothel girls like some men.

Yan Yujin clapped his hands and said, "It would be great if Miss Gong Yu could go. It seems that I will have another chance to listen to Miss Gong Yu's piano music."

Zhou Chen invited Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin to have dinner, but they did not stay long. They left after a while.

On the night before Xiao Jingrui's birthday, Zhou Chen, Mei Changsu and others gathered together again to discuss tomorrow's important events.

Meng Zhi was impatient and asked first: "Xiao Shu, tomorrow is Jing Rui's birthday. You should have made preparations, right?"

Mei Changsu replied calmly: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."

Xia Dong and Meng Zhi didn't know the specific plan, and asked in confusion: "What about Dong Feng?"

"The Southern Chu delegation."

"The Southern Chu delegation?"

Meng Zhi and Nie Feng and his wife were both confused. How did they get involved with the Nanchu delegation?

Zhou Chen asked: "Why do you think the Nanchu delegation came to Beijing at this time?"

Meng Zhi was shocked: "Is the Nanchu delegation's visit to Beijing also part of your plan?"

"It's not part of the plan. They were originally pawns used by Xiao Shu to bring down Xie Yu."

"hiss!"

Meng Zhi and Xia Dong both took a deep breath and were stunned by Mei Changsu's move.

Xia Dong even said, "Xiao Shu, I haven't seen you for twelve years. You really impressed me. It seems that you have already started preparing for this plan, right?"

Mei Changsu said calmly: "Of course, if I wasn't sure enough, how could I risk coming to the capital, a place as treacherous as this."

Meng Zhi said excitedly: "In this case, Xie Yu will not be able to escape this time."

Xia Dong and Nie Feng were equally excited. They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and this was all thanks to Xie Yu and Xia Jiang.

Especially Xia Dong's resentment was even greater. She had been sad for twelve years and had always thought that her husband was dead. She had also been worshiping a corpse that was not her husband's for twelve years. Xie Yu was the culprit for all of this.

Mei Changsu was not as happy as they showed. Instead, he said in a serious tone, "Xie Yu will definitely fall tomorrow night, but Xie Yu is a ruthless person. If he is forced into a desperate situation, he will definitely go crazy. That's why I used Prince Yu to participate in this incident. Xiaochen also reminded me that Xie Yu is now in charge of the patrol camp in the capital. He might use the patrol camp when the time comes."

Meng Zhi's face changed drastically: "No way? The patrol battalion is not Xie Yu's private army. How could he have the guts to do this?"

Mei Changsu said: "As long as the patrol battalion does not enter the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, who can say that Xie Yudiao used it for personal purposes? Patrolling the city defense is the responsibility of the patrol battalion. As long as he mobilizes the patrol battalion to protect the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, we will be trapped."

Xia Dong said: "Since you have already thought of these, you must have a foolproof plan. Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us now."

Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen looked at each other and smiled.

"Originally, I was only planning to deal with Xie Yu tomorrow night, but when Xiaochen mentioned the Patrol Battalion, I had another bold idea. I planned to use this incident to bring the Patrol Battalion into the picture. As long as Xie Yu mobilizes the Patrol Battalion, with his downfall, our Majesty will definitely become suspicious of the Patrol Battalion."

"You have to know that the Patrol Battalion is one of the most important guards in the capital. He will definitely not tolerate the Patrol Battalion being so easily mobilized. As long as the Patrol Battalion moves, he will definitely take action against the Patrol Battalion. By then, Xie Yu will be gone. Who in the capital has the best hope of controlling the Patrol Battalion?"

As a soldier, Meng Zhi reacted very quickly in this regard.

"Prince Jing?"

"Yes, it is Prince Jing."

"So, you want to drag the Patrol Battalion into this incident, then have people attack the Patrol Battalion, and finally let Prince Jing take advantage of this? Great, really great."

Meng Zhi was excited. If Prince Jing could control the patrol camp, plus the imperial guards under his control, they would control two of the several major military forces in the capital. This was the military power that neither the Crown Prince nor Prince Yu had at their peak.

Xia Dong said worriedly, "If you let the patrol battalion get involved, Prince Yu's men will definitely not be able to enter the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion. Then it will be just like you said, and we will be trapped."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "So Sister Dong is needed at this time."

"Me?" Xia Dong pointed at himself with a puzzled look?

"Yes, it's you, Sister Dong. You are the Chief Mirror Master of the Xuan Jing Division. You can let Xia Chun lead the people of the Xuan Jing Division to hide around the Xie Mansion. Once chaos occurs inside, they can enter the mansion before the patrol camp arrives."

Hearing Mei Changsu's plan, Xia Dong frowned and said, "I have no problem with that, but Brother Chun is a very cautious person. If there is no substantial evidence, he probably won't risk offending Xie Yu and bring people to break into the Marquis' Mansion."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Xia Chun may not dare to offend Xie Yu, but he dare not disobey His Majesty's orders."

"What do you mean?"

"Sister Dong, you are the chief of the Xuanjing Division, and you are personally ordered by His Majesty to investigate the murder of the eunuch. You can meet His Majesty at any time. Just say that you have important clues about the murder of the eunuch. As long as His Majesty issues an order to give you full power to dispatch the Xuanjing Division, I believe Xia Chun will not dare to disobey."

Xia Dong asked doubtfully, "But will His Majesty give me this order? What if he asks for clues?"

"You can sign a military order with him, saying that after tonight, the evidence and the criminal will be handed over. I believe that his Majesty will agree to it. After all, killing people outside the palace walls is a thorn in his heart for someone like him who has a strong desire for power and fears death. He will definitely want to pull it out."

Mei Changsu knows Emperor Liang's character very well, so he is so confident.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 846 Pregnant, April , Jing Rui’s birthday

Seeing that Mei Changsu was so confident, and seeing that Mei Changsu seemed to have not made any mistakes in the past six months, Xia Dong began to believe in Mei Changsu's judgment.

"Okay, I will go to the palace tomorrow morning to ask for permission from His Majesty."

Mei Changsu still advised: "Xia Chun has inherited Xia Jiang's true teachings, and even his temperament is somewhat similar to Xia Jiang's. So even if His Majesty has ordered it, we still need to pay attention to him."

Xia Dong said: "Don't worry, although Brother Chun is a bit calculating, he can still distinguish between major and minor matters, and he won't make any mistakes."

"Okay, in that case, let's have a good rest today. The battle tomorrow night will determine the fate of many people, so we can't be careless at all."

When Mei Changsu finished speaking, his expression became very solemn. He has been in Jinling for more than half a year, but tomorrow's battle is the most crucial one.

It is not only to get rid of Xie Yu, but also to get the truth of the Chiyan injustice case, and to learn more about Xia Jiang from Xie Yu, so it must be foolproof.

Zhou Chen and Meng Zhi left together, while Xia Dong stayed to accompany Nie Feng.

After Meng Zhi and Zhou Chen left the Su Mansion, they did not separate immediately, but took Zhou Chen to a secluded place.

"Xiao Chen, in the battle tomorrow, although Xiao Shu is very confident, I still think it's a bit too risky, especially regarding the patrol camp. It's really too risky. This is basically gambling with your life."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said. There is a certain amount of gambling involved, but the chances of success are still very high."

He knew why Mei Changsu did this. It was simply because he felt that his health was getting worse day by day and he didn't want to waste time, so he was willing to take some risks and achieve his goal as soon as possible.

Meng Zhi still shook his head and said, "Actually, if the princess was still here, I wouldn't be worried, but now, I believe in Xia Dong, but not Xuan Jingsi."

"So do you have any good ideas to add?"

"If I could think of a good idea, I would have told you just now, and I wouldn't have dragged you over to talk about this at this time."

"It seems that you also know that Xiao Shu will not listen to your advice, so you want me to persuade him?"

"That's not the case. I know this matter is irreversible. I just want to tell you that tomorrow night, no matter what kind of chaos happens, we must protect Xiao Shu and put his safety first. Do you understand?"

After all, what Meng Zhi cares most about is not whether he can get rid of Xie Yu, but the safety of Mei Changsu.

Zhou Chen felt deeply moved. Apart from anything else, Meng Zhi really had feelings for Mei Changsu and always put Mei Changsu's safety first in everything.

"I know this without your telling me."

After Zhou Chen separated from Meng Zhi, he returned to his home. He would be the one to take charge of the force tomorrow night, so he didn't need to make too much preparation.

Gong Yu, on the other hand, seemed a little nervous tonight. After all, she was one of the main characters who would appear tomorrow night.

She was not worried about her own safety, but was afraid that her mistakes would lead to the failure of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu's plan.

"Don't worry, everything is ready. Tomorrow night you just need to tell me the secrets as planned, and I will take care of the rest."

"Ah."

Gong Yu responded, but she felt a little uneasy that night. It took her a long time to fall asleep after Zhou Chen's comfort.

The next morning, when Zhou Chen got up, he found that Gong Yu was already up and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror dressing up.

Zhou Chen walked over, hugged her from behind, and asked softly, "Didn't you sleep well?"

Gong Yu felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to make Zhou Chen worry, so she said, "I'm fine. I have to go to celebrate Master Xiao's birthday today. I can't embarrass you, Master."

She is the top singer of Miaoyinfang, and those who went to Ningguo Marquis' Mansion to celebrate Xiao Jingrui's birthday today are all people of noble status and high position. Her status is already several heads lower than others, so she wants to dress herself elegantly and noblely, at least so that no one can find fault with her.

Zhou Chen somewhat understood Gong Yu's thoughts, but because of this, he felt even more distressed.

After all, Gong Yu comes from the modern era and is different from him. The class consciousness of status and position in feudal society is deeply rooted in him. No matter how much he tries to persuade her, it is impossible to completely change Gong Yu's mind.

Turning Gong Yu's face around, Gong Yu's complexion looked worse than a while ago. This was not something that would happen if he didn't sleep well at night.

He had discovered this situation before, but he thought it was because Gong Yu was injured when he tried to assassinate Xie Yu a few days ago. However, Gong Yu's injuries were only superficial and had healed long ago, so there would be no sequelae.

Suddenly an idea popped into his mind and his expression changed immediately.

"Gong Yu, feel my pulse."

Gong Yu looked puzzled, but still extended his hand to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took Gong Yu's pulse with a serious face, and soon, the serious expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a deep surprise.

This change of expression made Gong Yu even more nervous: "Master, what's wrong with me?"

Zhou Chen held her hand and said softly, "Good news, great news."

"Son..."

Zhou Chen smiled, stroked Gong Yu's cheek, and said happily: "Gong Yu, you are pregnant."
