Chapter 865: Excited Jamel Xiao and Jingrui’s return
Mei Changsu talked for half an hour before telling Jamel Xiao in detail what had happened over the years.
Now that they have shown off, with their relationship, he will naturally not hide anything, and there is no need to hide it.
After listening to Mei Changsu's narration, Xiao Jamel sat there blankly, silent for a long time, his eyes were even more distracted, and he didn't know where his thoughts had wandered.
Zhou Chen and others did not disturb Jamel Xiao and gave him plenty of time.
It did take a long time for Jamel Xiao to digest, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.
When he looked at Mei Changsu again, his eyes were full of guilt and regret.
"Xiao Shu, since you escaped death back then, why didn't you come to me? If you had come to me, these years wouldn't have been so difficult."
Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "Jingyan, I know you care about me, but if I really came back to find you back then, I would only harm you."
When Jamel Xiao heard this, he suddenly choked up. Yes, he was not in the capital when the case between King Qi and the Red Flame Army happened, so he was exempted from blame.
But even so, he was still disgusted by Emperor Liang and continued to suppress him for more than ten years.
Seeing Jamel Xiao's thoughts, Mei Changsu smiled slightly.
"But isn't it good to be like this now? You have grown up now. If Brother Qi Wang knows your current achievements, he will definitely be very pleased."
Jamel Xiao's expression became even darker when Mei Changsu mentioned Prince Qi. Prince Qi was the goal he admired and pursued throughout his life. Even though he became the prince now, he never felt that he was better than his brother Prince Qi back then.
"Xiao Shu, you have suffered a lot these years."
"No, I have never felt how miserable I am. What really suffers are those who died unjustly. For more than ten years, the goal I have been working hard for is to retry the unjust cases, but I also know that this matter is not so easy to achieve.
of."
Jamel Xiao said without hesitation: "Leave it to me, and I will definitely help you, Brother Qi Wang, Lin Shuai, and all those who died unjustly, to wash away their grievances and make them clear."
Mei Changsu said: "I know what you are thinking, but it is not easy to accomplish this thing, because we can only reverse the case when His Majesty is in office, and we can completely clear the wrong. If you can reverse the case for us,
,That……"
Although he didn't finish speaking, Jamel Xiao understood what Zhou Chen meant.
When his father was in power, he overturned the case and told the world about it, which would mean that his father took the initiative to admit his fault, and could completely wash away the grievances of the past.
But if the case is overturned when he is in power, the meaning will be different. It will be equivalent to him overturning the case of the late emperor. No matter what the truth is, it will definitely arouse many people's doubts. King Qi and the Red Flame Army
There is no way to truly wash away the grievances.
In a confused mood, he soon thought that the Xiao Shu in his eyes was now a talented Qilin, and there must be something he could do.
"Then what should we do? Whatever you want me to do, I will do it, as long as it can get this thing done."
Ever since he knew that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu, he had absolute trust in Mei Changsu. Even if Mei Changsu stabbed him now, he would not resist.
Mei Changsu sighed: "It is not that easy for our Majesty to ask for a retrial and admit his mistakes on his own initiative. We must use all available forces to make His Majesty submit."
When he heard Mei Changsu say that he wanted to force his father, Jamel Xiao's face showed no signs of strangeness or intolerance.
Although Emperor Liang's attitude towards him had changed greatly over the past year, in fact he did not have much affection for his father.
After experiencing the incident more than ten years ago, coupled with the suppression for more than ten years, he had long understood what kind of person his father was.
If Mei Changsu wanted to deal with Emperor Liang, he would definitely support it with both hands.
All I can say is, a father is kind and a son is filial.
"What exactly do you want to do, and how can I cooperate with you?"
Mei Changsu did not refuse anymore, but told Jamel Xiao his plan, planning to use Xie Yu's death to let Princess Liyang come forward, and the chosen day was the day of Emperor Liang's Christmas banquet.
Jamel Xiao nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with Mei Changsu's plan.
"Actually, a few days ago, I also talked about this matter with Shen Zhui, the Minister of Hubu, and Cai Quan, the Minister of Punishment. Shen Zhui suggested that I should not be impulsive. His thoughts are the same as yours, Xiao Shu."
Mei Changsu smiled and said: "Shen Zhui is a smart man. He also knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to protect himself wisely."
He had naturally investigated who Shen Zhui was, otherwise he would not have recommended him to Jamel Xiao.
After discussing the preliminary plan with Mei Changsu, Jamel Xiao's mood recovered a lot, and he turned to look at Zhou Chen.
"I really didn't expect that Zhou Chen, you would become like this. The Gongziyu of Jianghu and the deputy sect leader of Jiangzu League, Rakshasa, are actually the same person."
He never expected that Lin Shu would become Mei Changsu. Similarly, he would never expect that Zhou Chen would become Gong Ziyu.
In particular, Zhou Chen is not only Gong Ziyu, but also the deputy leader of the Jiangzuo League, Rakshasa. He alone occupies two rankings on the Langya Ranking, which can be regarded as the number one person in the world.
Zhou Chen said: "I also didn't expect that I would see such a day again, just like I didn't expect that I would be stabbed in the back by one of my own people."
Jamel Xiao's face darkened, and he also did not expect that looking at Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen's current appearance, he could also imagine the pain they have suffered over the years.
Although Zhou Chen was a Marquis of Wu before his accident, his relationship with Jamel Xiao was far inferior to that of Lin Shu and Jamel Xiao, or even worse than that of Jamel Xiao and Nie Feng.
"General Nie Feng is like this. Is it really impossible to recover?"
Xia Dong shook his head and said: "Unless it's a thorough detoxification like Xiao Shu and Xiao Chen, I still prefer Brother Feng's current appearance. At least he can stay with me for a few more years like this."
Only those who have lost know the pain of loss. Compared with Nie Feng's current state, the days without Nie Feng are the most painful.
What's more, although Nie Feng can't speak normally now, more than a year has passed. Xia Dong can completely understand some of his expressions, so his inability to speak normally will not affect the normal communication between their husband and wife.
Jamel Xiao didn't know how to persuade him. He had never heard of the poison of fire and cold before, but looking at Xiao Shu's appearance now, he knew how terrifying this strange poison was.
That night, everyone chatted for a long time. When it was almost dawn, everyone left, but Zhou Chen did not leave.
"Aren't you going to tell him your true thoughts?" Zhou Chen suddenly asked.
Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and said: "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You want to overturn the case and help the prince reorganize the court, but you have never thought about restoring your identity because you don't want to be blamed for your actions."
Your identity has caused the world to misunderstand the prince, are you planning to continue living as Mei Changsu until your death, even if the verdict is overturned in the end?"
Mei Changsu chuckled: "As expected, Xiaochen, you know me best. You are right. This was originally my plan and idea, but this idea was broken by you."
"Is that why I adopted my little baby to you?"
"That's right, I was originally just a dying ghost, but you adopted Xiaobao to me and gave me something to rely on in this world. It's no longer possible to maintain the thoughts I had before."
Mei Changsu smiled casually, his face did not show disappointment, but he was very happy.
"But I prefer the current idea. My personal honor and disgrace are not important. My father and mother definitely want me to live and pass on the Lin family. I don't have to think about myself, but I have to think about Xiaobao. This time
Just let me be selfish and pave the way for Xiaobao."
He has a deeper relationship with Zhou Chen, but Xiaobao Linxin is different to him. For him, apart from overturning the case, Xiaobao is the person he can't let go of the most. He is the one who insists on, even if
It is the belief that you want to live even if you are struggling to survive.
He knew that he would not live long, but as long as he could live for one day and watch Xiaobao grow up day by day, he felt that no matter how much pain he endured, it would be worth it.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
Especially for people like Mei Changsu, who is the only one left in such a big family. Now Xiao Baolinxin is really a life-saving medicine.
Zhou Chen showed a smile and said: "It seems that I made a good mistake by accident."
Mei Changsu hummed and said: "Stop pretending in front of me. You can see my thoughts. This must be part of your plan. But if your conspiracy succeeds, I won't jump at all."
If I don't go out, people say I'm playing with people's hearts, but you're playing with me."
"That's an exaggeration. Compared to using tricks, I'm far behind you."
This is Zhou Chen's sincere words. Although he has lived for hundreds of years, he really can't compare to Mei Changsu when it comes to calculating strategies.
It can't be said that he can't compare, but when it comes to calculating people's hearts, he really doesn't have the patience of Mei Changsu, and he prefers to use force to overwhelm him.
…………
In less than a month, news of Xie Yu's death in Qianzhou had reached the capital. However, because Xie Yu had disappeared for a long time, his death did not cause much commotion in the capital.
Only some people who cared about him paid extra attention, especially Princess Liyang of the Princess's Mansion, and Xie Yu's children, Xie Bi and Xie Qi.
After Xie Bi learned about this incident, he decided to go to Qianzhou in person to bring back the body of his father Xie Yu, and he also received permission from Emperor Liang.
The gate of Jinling City.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Yan Yujin put his feet up, looked left and right, but saw no one for a long time, so he complained anxiously.
Zhou Chen said leisurely and contentedly: "Yujin, it's useless for you to be anxious. Since Jingrui said he would come back today, he will definitely come back."
Yan Yujin nodded and said, "Yes, Jingrui always does what he says. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Jingrui for almost a year, and I don't know if he has changed or how much he has changed. This Jingrui
It’s true, when I left, I said I would come back soon, but I didn’t expect that I would stay for such a long time. When he comes back, I have to talk about him well and remember whether we are good friends.”
Listening to Yan Yujin's ramble, Zhou Chen found it funny. Speaking of it, Yan Yujin was not young anymore, but his personality was still the same as it was more than a year ago. There was no change. It was really a bit stressful to get along with him.
None, let alone any need to be on guard.
It turns out that today is the day Xiao Jingrui returns to Jinling.
It has been almost a year since Xiao Jingrui left the capital. After staying in Nanchu for a long time, he finally decided to return to Jinling. He even wrote a special letter before returning.
No, after knowing that Xiao Jingrui was coming back today, Yan Yujin went to Zhou Chen's mansion early in the morning and took Zhou Chen and Xie Bi to the city gate to prepare to welcome Xiao Jingrui.
After waiting for more than an hour, they finally arrived at Xiao Jingrui.
As soon as he saw Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin shouted excitedly.
"Jing Rui, here, Jing Rui, I'm here."
In fact, Xiao Jingrui saw Yan Yujin and Zhou Chen from a distance. After hearing Yan Yujin's yelling, he rushed over quickly.
"Yujin, Brother Yu, why are you here?"
Yan Yujin rolled his eyes, went up and punched Xiao Jingrui in the chest.
"Of course I'm here to pick you up. You kid, you've been away for a year. I thought you wouldn't come back?"
Xiao Jingrui smiled and said, "During my absence, is it because no one has played with you anymore, so you miss me so much?"
"whispering sound.",
Yan Yujin snorted disdainfully: "I Yan Yujin has a lot of friends. Not to mention how cool you are during your absence. I'm afraid that no one will pick you up when you come back, and I feel uncomfortable. This is a big day."
I have brought Brother Yu over a long time ago, otherwise you think no one would come to pick you up."
Listening to his friend's familiar hurtful words, the smile on Xiao Jingrui's face became even bigger. After being away for nearly a year, he really missed everything about Jinling.
"Brother Yu, I'm sorry to trouble you to pick me up in person."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "We are friends, so we are talking about this. Really, Jingrui, I am really happy to see you back."
"I'm really happy to see Brother Yu. When I was in Nanchu, I heard many people talking about Brother Yu, and I realized that Brother Yu left a great reputation in Nanchu back then.
.”
Jamel Xiao sincerely admired him. During the few months he was in Nanchu, he also traveled around the world and heard many people mention Zhou Chen.
"It's just a false name, it's not worth mentioning. Jingrui, when you come back this time, you shouldn't leave, right?"
"If we don't leave, the matter in Nanchu is basically over. There is no need to go back."
In fact, Xiao Jingrui didn't have much memories in Nanchu. His biological father was gone. Although he still had a younger sister, to be honest, he really had no feelings for this younger sister who suddenly appeared.
In comparison, Jinling City is his home, with his mother, younger brothers and sisters, and so many relatives and friends.
Zhou Chen and Yan Yujin sent Xiao Jingrui to the eldest princess's residence before leaving. Before leaving, Xiao Jingrui said that he would visit them soon and reminisce about old times.
Xiao Jingrui's return, to Zhou Chen, is more than just the return of a good friend.
What kind of person Princess Liyang was, he knew very well that Mei Changsu and Xiao Jamyan alone were not enough to convince this woman to charge at Emperor Liang's birthday banquet.
Princess Liyang's weakness is Xiao Jingrui. Apart from Xiao Jingrui, even Xie Bi and Xie Qi may have difficulty convincing her.
Therefore, Xiao Jingrui's return was just in time. He didn't even need to talk to Xiao Jingrui. With Xiao Jingrui's temperament, as long as Xiao Jingrui knew about Xie Yu's crimes and the unjust case of Chi Yan, he might not be able to bear it anymore.
When the time comes, as long as Mei Changsu and Xiao Jamyan mention it, Xiao Jingrui will definitely convince Princess Liyang.
