Hearing that his name was called out as before, Xiao Jingyan was surprised, emotional, and happy. A hot lump swelled up in his heart, stuck in his throat and couldn't swallow, but he didn't want to show too much. Excited, it made my friends look sad, so my face changed a few times for a while, but I couldn't settle down in the end.
Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be too considerate of me, I can climb out of the sea of blood in Meiling and come here, how can I be so vulnerable? In front of you, it is inevitable to feel pain. But if I'm blindly indulging in miserable grief and can't extricate myself, then it's not me..."
This sentence just spoke to Xiao Jingyan's heart, he immediately said happily: "I can rest assured if you can think about it, in fact, you haven't changed much, just quieter, everyone is getting older, this is what it should be, Look at me, I don't love you as much as I used to. As long as people are still there, what does it matter if they change? After the case is over, you will still be Lin Shu, I will still be Jingyan, and we will Still the same as before…”
"Jingyan," Mei Changsu shook his head and interrupted him, "Impossible, no matter how thoroughly this case is turned over, I can only be Mei Changsu, and I can never be Lin Shu again..."
"Why?" Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows and stood up at once, "As long as the stigma is washed away, of course you can get your original identity back, who would dare to disagree about this..."
"Listen to me," Mei Changsu motioned him to sit down again with a calm gaze, "what kind of person Su Zhe is, and how he used to walk between the crown prince and Prince Yu, the whole capital knows. To be a shady person, to practice shady techniques. Although it is a weapon to seize power, it is not the right way in the end..."
"But… "
"Jingyan," Mei Changsu said involuntarily. Immediately cut him off, "For me. Reversing the case is the end. I can see that this day is very satisfying, but for you, cleaning up old cases is just the beginning, you have to clean up the accumulated abuses. Strengthen the country and protect the people, and revitalize the beams. The decade of decline has brought the world to a state where the falsehood remains true, and the state is clear and open. In order to achieve this goal, you need a perfect beginning. The heroic spirit of the dead is above, and I hope to see you as a loving, righteous and fair in the hearts of the world. A selfless monarch, a person like Su Zhe must not become your favorite subject, which will make the world misunderstand that the new monarch is still someone who likes to check and balance. It goes against your original intention. What's more, I am in the name of Su Zhe. , I have been working in the capital for a long time. In the past two years, there have been turmoils, more or less, I can't get rid of it. Coupled with the big change in description. There is no trace of the past on my body, just based on the evidence of a few people. It's Lin Shu, it's shocking and unbelievable. Thinking of my seventy thousand Chiyan brothers, Lielie loyal soul, I look forward to this day in Zhaoxue, if it is because of my own selfishness, I will attract the history of future generations like a knife and clear a piece of it. The innocent act of vindicating grievances has become a mystery that makes people speculate, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false, so why did I come here after 13 years of hard work?"
"It's because of your thirteen years of hard work that I can't watch you suffer any more grievances!" Xiao Jingyan finally couldn't help but retort, "If people in the world misunderstand you, it's the stupidity of people in the world, why should you mind?"
"To be honest, I really do mind." Mei Changsu smiled gloomily, "Not only do I do, I hope you do too. Those who don't take the world's evaluations to heart will not know what self-examination and restraint are. How did you become Ming Jun? Besides, it is not necessarily a grievance to not be able to regain the identity of Lin Shu. I have been Mei Changsu for more than ten years, and I am used to it. Let the Lin Shu of that year always keep the way he is in everyone's memory, no Is it fine too?"
Xiao Jingyan pursed her lips, looked at him deeply for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to leave the capital?"
"Eh?" Mei Changsu didn't expect him to ask such a question, his eyes trembled and his face turned pale.
"You insist on being only Mei Changsu, but you say that he is a shady person and is not suitable to stay with the monarch. Does that mean that you are not suitable to stay with me?" Xiao Jingyan stared closely at his friend's side. His eyes didn't relax for a moment, "Are you planning to leave the capital after reversing the case, and go to retreat to the world?"
Mei Changsu had a perfect smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone, "I haven't rested for thirteen years, and I really feel tired. Now that you are full of wings, you have enough worthy ministers and good assistants around you, and you can run the country safely, so just let me go. What's wrong with going out and enjoying yourself? After three or five years, I will come back to see you, the brotherhood and friendship between you and me can't be maintained without seeing each other, right?"
Xiao Jingyan was not moved by his smile at all, her expression was still cold, "Xiaoshu, tell me the truth... Are you healthy?"
"Body," Mei Changsu smiled and rubbed the temples on both sides of his forehead, "I definitely can't compare it with the previous year. Without strength, my martial arts skills are completely useless. If you do anything with you now, you will only be beaten. ."
"Really..." Xiao Jingyan stared into his eyes again for a long time before a smile appeared, "Then I'll wait for you, and we'll compare after you've taken care of it."
Mei Changsu lowered his eyes and did not speak.
"...Is it not good?"
"Um."
"That's okay," Xiao Jingyan endured the excitement in his heart and patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that the people are still there."
Mei Changsu also smiled and nodded, picked up the new tea on the table and sipped slowly.
"Looking at your appearance, besides telling me not to disclose your identity, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes," Mei Changsu put down the tea bowl, his expression turned solemn, "I also want to discuss with you about Tingsheng."
"Tingsheng? Tingsheng is very good with me. Both literary and martial arts have won praise from teaching, and he has the style of his father. When the dust settles in the future, we will..." Xiao Jingyan said here, suddenly realized the problem There, he swallowed.
"Inheritance of the royal family, the bloodline is the most rigorous," Mei Changsu said in a low voice, "there was no golden jade plate at birth, and there was no red seal treasure book of the inner court division, so there would be no identity as a royal child. Although we know that Tingsheng is Qi The posthumous son of the king, but he was born in Youye Court after all, and took the name of others. Although it was a helpless act to save his life, it also made it impossible for him to return to the royal family..."
Xiao Jingyan is a member of the royal family. Of course, he knew that what he said was true, but he was not sure whether he could finally win the injustice, so he never thought about the identity of Tingsheng for a while. At this time, thinking about it, I can't help but be dumbfounded.
"As for King Qi's ancestral heir. Even if you want to continue the marriage in the future, you can only choose one of the children born by you or other princes. In short, Tingsheng is not qualified for this," Mei Changsu said with a sad expression on his face. . "Even if you become emperor in the future, you can't set a precedent for him alone, and disturb the patriarchal family of the royal family..."
Xiao Jingyan sighed and said: "The royal family's patriarchal law is strict, and this is also impossible to do. Thinking that when Emperor Hui had no children, he couldn't bring back the illegitimate prince left behind by the people, let alone Tingsheng."
"Jingyan," Mei Changsu asked in a low voice, getting closer to his friend, "You didn't tell Tingsheng about his background, did you?"
"No. The child is still young and has suffered so much, and I don't want him to take revenge. Why tell him this?"
"King Ji didn't even say..." Mei Changsu frowned and thought, "but I always feel that Tingsheng knows... There are many things in this world. When I don't know, I'm very content. Troubled. Jingyan. The quieter Tingsheng is, the more worried I feel about him. In the future... you have to pay more attention to him and let him live his life in peace and stability, so as to live up to the spirit of King Qi in heaven..."
Xiao Jingyan raised his face and thought for a while, then said, "Well, it's impossible for Tingsheng to enter the clan. Why don't I accept him as my adopted son and mention his identity. He is the child of Qi Wangxiong. His character is not vulgar, and even if he can't become a virtuous king in the future, he should at least be a pillar of the court."
"I think..." Mei Changsu frowned and said hesitantly, "It would be better to keep Tingsheng away from the core of the royal family..."
"why?"
Mei Changsu hesitated for a moment, then smiled after thinking about it, "No reason... Maybe it's because I worry too much, I always feel that for a child like Tingsheng who has suffered through hardships, an ordinary and healthy life may be the happiest. ."
"It's because he has suffered so much that he has to compensate him," Xiao Jingyan also laughed, "It's not easy for Ting to live, I will take good care of him, and not to mention you? Even if I have some negligence in the future. Here, you remind me."
Speaking of the word "future", Mei Changsu felt a tightness in his chest, but he was speechless. He forced a smile and got up and said, "It's time for me to say goodbye. The rest of the burden rests on the shoulders of Your Highness. It's really hard for you. already."
"You're polite to me again," Xiao Jingyan talked about everything he had to say with him today, and he was in a good mood, standing up to say goodbye, "Mother said that peace of mind is good for you, so take care of it for the next few days. Keep it up. On the day of Shouyi, I'm afraid I can't relax even half a breath, can you support it?"
"What do you think?" Mei Changsu smiled lightly, "All these years are for this day, and I will endure it even if I die."
Xiao Jingyan didn't know why, but felt that this sentence sounded a bit piercing, and frowned: "Don't be so exaggerated, in fact, thousands of efforts are done ahead, and we have a great chance of winning now, so we really don't need to be too nervous. I will always pay attention in a few days, and Aunt Liyang will not relax, you can rest and recuperate, as long as I am here, any accident will never happen."
Seeing his confidence, Mei Changsu felt relieved, nodded in agreement, and walked out of the main pavilion to summon Fei Liu. Xiao Jingyan wanted to send him to the sedan chair in the outer hall, but was rejected, so he had to stand outside the shadow wall of the main pavilion and watch the two of them leave.
After returning to Su's house, Mei Changsu felt a little tired, and supported Fei Liu, just as he was thinking of lying down on the couch, when the door slammed, Lin Chen swaggered in, with a mysterious smile on his face, triumphant. Tun said: "There is good news, do you want to guess?"
He didn't ask people if they wanted to listen, but asked if they wanted to guess. At a glance, he knew that he was a little bored now. Mei Changsu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell down.
"Guess, guess," Lin Chen rushed over and dragged him up, "I found that your fortune has been very strong recently, and you have a taste of what you want to achieve. This good news is definitely the icing on the cake for you, I will let you guess three times! "
Mei Changsu fixedly looked at his eyes full of smiles, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Have you caught Xia Jiang?"
