Chapter 866 Showdown, True Identity
Because King Yu doesn't have Qin Banruo and Xia Jiang, and he doesn't know his true life experience, he naturally has no intention of rebellion.
As long as King Yu does not rebel, the March Spring Hunting in Jiu'an Mountain will naturally go without any fluctuations and will end smoothly.
Half a month later, Emperor Liang led a large group of troops back to the capital, which caused huge commotion in the capital.
According to what Mei Changsu said, during this spring hunting, Emperor Liang was still strong and "showed off his power" and hunted many animals, which attracted praise from the sky and made the Sacred Heart happy.
On the other hand, the prince Xiao Jamyan kept a low profile during this hunt and did not show off too much. He gave all the opportunities to show off to the children of nobles and princes in the capital.
On this day, Mei Changsu came to Zhou Chen's mansion as usual, holding Xiaobao in his arms and coaxing him gently, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
There was also that look in his eyes that made Zhou Chen feel sick to his stomach. Not only was he full of affection, but his expression made him feel distressed to the core.
But Zhou Chen can also understand Mei Changsu. When he became a father for the first time, he was no better than Mei Changsu.
What's more, this was in ancient times, and the significance of family incense inheritance was far beyond what modern society can compare with. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Baolinxin has almost fulfilled all Mei Changsu's expectations.
Xiaobao was very noisy in Mei Changsu's arms at first, but as time went by, perhaps because he got familiar with the smell, he slowly calmed down.
For Mei Changsu, he really cared about Xiaobao very much. Every time he came, he basically held him in his arms. Even if he was very tired, he couldn't bear to put it down.
"Today, a letter came from the brother who was monitoring Xie Yu in the alliance. Xie Yu is dead."
While Xiaobao was sleeping, Mei Changsu carefully handed him over to Ziyu, and then told Zhou Chen the main purpose of coming today.
Zhou Chen asked curiously: "How did you die? Did you move your hands?"
Mei Changsu shook his head and said: "I didn't do it. In a place like that, it's not easy for a pampered person like Xie Yu to survive until now, so I'm not surprised at all by his death."
Zhou Chen nodded. Indeed, Xie Yu was sent to the border area to do coolies, and for the sake of the children in the capital, he did not dare to run away.
He was once a first-class military prince who was pampered and well-off. Although he had some martial arts skills, he would definitely not be able to last long if he had to work hard all the time.
"Now that Xie Yu is dead, does that mean you are ready to take action?"
"I have this idea, but Jingyan has just become the prince and cannot stabilize the court yet, but there is no need to worry. We received the news of Xie Yu's death through carrier pigeons, but the court can only receive the news through the inn. It will be at least a month before it reaches the capital."
Mei Changsu knew very well that the officials at the place of distribution would definitely pass on the news, but they would never take it too seriously and would only follow the normal procedures, which were quite cumbersome and took a lot of time.
So far, things have been developing quite smoothly, and Mei Changsu didn't waste any more energy.
Zhou Chen asked: "Although there is no rush, you must make arrangements in advance. If you want the prince to make up his mind completely, you need a firmer reason. Are you ready for a showdown?"
Mei Changsu did not answer immediately, but his expression kept changing, and he was obviously having final thoughts in his heart.
"Well, it was a matter of time, and now is just the right time. After hiding it from him for so long, it's time to end it all."
"Now that you have made up your mind, I will definitely support you fully."
"Thank you, Xiaochen. If you hadn't supported me all these years, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on now."
"What's the point of saying this? Who made me meet you? Maybe this is God's will."
"Yes, maybe this is God's will."
…………
Su Mansion!
Today's Su Mansion is quite lively, with many people gathered.
As the host, Mei Changsu was naturally there. In addition, there were Zhou Chen, Meng Zhi, Wei Zheng, Nie Feng and Xia Dong.
Meng Zhi asked Mei Changsu nervously: "Xiao Shu, have you really made the decision to tell the truth to the prince?"
Mei Changsu said: "Yes, now that Xia Jiang is dead, news of Xie Yu's death will soon reach the capital. The testimony he left to Princess Liyang will play a key role, but we can , it is still difficult to convince Princess Liyang, we need Jingyan to make the final decision."
He never thought that they could succeed in reversing the case on their own. After all, if they wanted Emperor Liang to submit this time, they had to have someone who could control Emperor Liang.
And this person is naturally the prince they have worked hard to promote, Jamel Xiao.
Xia Dong agreed: "Xiao Shu is right. Prince Jing is now the crown prince. Only if he takes the lead can we have the opportunity to overturn the case for Prince Qi and the Red Flame Army while he is still in power and tell him the truth. With the crown prince's With his character, he will definitely support us fully.”
Neither Wei Zheng nor Nie Feng spoke, because although they also knew Jamel Xiao, their relationship was not very good.
Mei Changsu said: "I have asked someone to inform the prince that he will come here tonight through the secret passage. This is why I called you all here. Since it is a showdown, let's make everything public."
Seeing that Mei Changsu had said this, others stopped expressing their opinions. In fact, this moment was what many people were looking forward to.
Among them, Meng Zhi was the only one who was not affected by that incident. The others, Mei Changsu, Zhou Chen, Wei Zheng and Nie Feng, all experienced that incident personally. As Nie Feng's friend, Xia Dong The wife, without knowing it, was also involved.
So for them, they all want to overturn the unjust case that year, and want to live openly and openly under the sun again.
While several people were waiting, in the dead of night, there was finally movement in the secret passage. Then Fei Liu went to open the secret door and soon saw Prince Xiao Jamel entering the room.
When Jamel Xiao came here, he didn't know that there were many people here. He thought it was just Mei Changsu and Fei Liu, so when he saw so many people in the room, he was shocked.
"Commander Meng, Sister Dong, Wei Zheng, Mr. Chen, why are you all here?"
While speaking, he glanced curiously at Nie Feng next to Xia Dong, but there were endless white hairs on Nie Feng's face, so he didn't recognize Nie Feng.
Mei Changsu and others stood up and saluted Jamel Xiao.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Jamel Xiao asked everyone not to salute, and then curiously asked Mei Changsu: "Mr. Su, what is going on? I can understand that Commander Meng and Mr. Chen are here with you, but why is Sister Dong also here with you? , and Wei Zheng, haven't you already returned to Yaowang Valley? When did you return to the capital?"
Seeing that Jamel Xiao asked so many questions at once, Xia Dong and Wei Zheng did not answer immediately, but looked at Mei Changsu in unison.
Their strange reactions made Xiao Jamel even more strange, so he stared at Mei Changsu, waiting for Mei Changsu to give him a satisfactory answer.
Mei Changsu did not show off, but said seriously: "Jingyan, don't worry, listen to me patiently."
Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows, Jingyan? He couldn't remember when he and Mei Changsu had such a good relationship that they actually started calling him by his name in front of him.
However, he didn't feel offended, more that he didn't understand, but he still waited patiently for Mei Changsu to explain to him.
Mei Changsu said slowly: "Actually, Commander Meng, Sister Dong, Wei Zheng, and Xiao Chen are here because we are waiting for His Highness."
"Wait for me? What do you mean?" Jamel Xiao frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
"Actually, Su Zhe is not my real name, and Mei Changsu is also not my real name."
When Jamel Xiao heard this, he was immediately shocked: "Mr. Su, what do you mean by this? What is your real name?"
He knew that Su Zhe was not his real name, but Mei Changsu's name was spread all over the world, so why was it not his real name?
Mei Changsu sighed quietly: "I haven't used that name for more than ten years. My real name is Lin Shu."
Jamel Xiao's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief and disbelief on his face.
"You, you, you said you are Xiao Shu? This is impossible, how could you be Xiao Shu, you cannot be Xiao Shu, you have nothing in common with Xiao Shu, how could you be him?"
Mei Changsu laughed at himself: "Yes, I have nothing in common with Lin Shu. Lin Shu is so dazzling, so powerful in martial arts, and so heroic; but I am just a cunning schemer hiding in the dark." , He can only calculate people's hearts, and he is just a weak scholar with no power to restrain a chicken."
Listening to Mei Changsu's self-deprecating tone, Jamel Xiao felt very uncomfortable, but before he could question it again, Mei Changsu spoke again.
"I don't want to be like this. I dream about it at midnight, and I often go back to that time. I called you Big Buffalo. We studied together with Brother Qi Wang, and we pestered Brother Qi King to fight for his favor. Unfortunately, everything can't go back. , I can only hide my face and live in the world as Mei Changsu."
"Not only me, but also Xiaochen, Wei Zheng, Brother Nie, we can only hide and dare not show up, but we all long for the day when the injustice is redressed, and now, this day is not far away from us. "
Jamel Xiao's face slowly turned pale, but his eyes were still full of shock.
"You, you are talking about Xiaochen, and Brother Nie, him, them?"
"it's me."
Zhou Chen suddenly said: "The Xiao Chen he is talking about is me, His Highness the Crown Prince. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Let me introduce you again to Zhou Chen, Marquis Wu Cheng from fourteen years ago."
Jamel Xiao looked at Zhou Chen, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Is Zhou Chen the Zhou Chen he thought of?
But what shocked him even more was what was happening behind him, when he saw Xia Dong and the white-haired man next to him taking a step forward.
Xia Dong said: "Your Highness, this is my husband, Nie Feng."
"Nie Feng, General Nie Feng?"
Jamel Xiao naturally knew Nie Feng. He couldn't connect the white-haired man in front of him with General Nie Feng.
"Oh, four, four..." Nie Feng squeaked.
But his appearance made Jamel Xiao even more confused.
It was Xia Dong who explained: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Brother Feng was injured in the battle of Meiling and was poisoned by fire and cold. That's why he became like this now, and he can't even speak well." ."
"Poison of fire and cold?"
"Yes, it is the most strange poison in the world, the fire-cold poison. Not only my husband Nie Feng was poisoned by the fire-cold poison, but Xiao Shu and Xiao Chen were also poisoned by the fire-cold poison. That's why they changed their appearance and body, completely different from the past. It’s different, because this is the price for understanding the poison of fire and cold.”
Jamel Xiao's whole body was shocked: "You mean, they became like this because they were poisoned by fire and cold in Meiling. In order to detoxify, they became like this first?"
"That's right."
Jamel Xiao's eyes fell on Mei Changsu again. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a lot, the first meeting with Mei Changsu, and the title of buffalo spoken by Fei Liu.
He even thought about his mother's reaction when talking about Mr. Su, Princess Nihuang's attitude towards Mei Changsu, and Meng Zhi...
At this moment, his mind was confused, but he already believed what Mei Changsu and Xia Dong said.
"Xiao Shu, are you really Xiao Shu?"
Mei Changsu was actually very excited in his heart, but on the outside he nodded calmly.
"Yes, I am Lin Shu, Jingyan, I am back."
Without saying a word, Jamel Xiao walked directly to Mei Changsu, hugged Mei Changsu hard, and cried bitterly.
"Why, you are obviously still alive, why did you come back now, why did you come back for more than two years, and you didn't tell me. You lied to me so miserably."
Mei Changsu patted the emotional Jamel Xiao on the back and comforted him softly: "I have my own difficulties. I am fine now. Isn't this the best result?"
"Okay, Xiao Shu, do you know how much I miss you? Do you know how much I miss you? Do you know how much I miss you?"
Jamel Xiao's low roar echoed in the room, and everyone around him remained silent and did not disturb him.
After a long time, Jamel Xiao slowly calmed down and let go of Mei Changsu.
He looked at Mei Changsu and then at Zhou Chen.
"I finally understand why your relationship is so good, and why Xiaochen is willing to adopt his son to you. All of you know the truth, and I am the only one who is kept in the dark."
"And you, Commander Meng, I was surprised at first that you, a dignified commander of the imperial army, came to seek refuge with me, an unpopular prince, inexplicably. It turns out that you already knew Xiao Shu's identity, so you came here deliberately. Trust me, right?"
Meng Zhi looked embarrassed: "His Royal Highness, I, I am also..."
Mei Changsu explained for him: "Jingyan, don't blame Brother Meng, he actually wants to help me."
"I didn't blame him. I just felt that I was too stupid. Why didn't I guess your identity earlier? Moreover, I also did things that hurt you and said so many hurtful words to you. Now that I think about it, I really Damn, that’s really stupid.”
Some things cannot be recalled. Once they are recalled, they are really wrong and cannot be wrong again.
"It seems that what Wei Zheng told me before was not the whole truth. Xiao Shu, can you now tell me the whole truth about that year, how you escaped in Meiling, and what happened to you later. How did you become the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, and how did Xiao Chen become the famous Gong Ziyu?"
After confirming the identities of Zhou Chen and others, Jamel Xiao was eager to know what happened back then and what Mei Changsu had experienced in these years.
Mei Changsu said in a serious tone: "Since you want to know, I will naturally tell you everything, but these things are a bit long to talk about..."
