Wandering the Heavens

"I don't know what the prince and Minister He want that would require a gangster like me." Mei Changsu felt very bad.

Prince Yu and He Jingzhong looked at each other for a few times, and finally He Jingzhong spoke.

"Mr. Su, my son was injured yesterday and all the doctors in Jinling City were helpless. I am the only son. I am visiting Mr. Su today to ask if there is any doctor with superb medical skills who can cure my son's injury. As long as Mr. Su lives, I, this old man, will do it for you."

"Minister He, you are too kind to Su Zhe. Su has been weak since childhood, and fortunately I have a doctor who takes care of me. Can you ask him to go and see Master He? If he can be cured, that's great. If not, how about going to Langya Pavilion to seek answers?"

Mei Changsu wanted to get rid of this trouble quickly, so he sent the doctor who treated him to check on He Wenxin's injuries.

"In that case, thank you, Mr. Su."

Because they were concerned about He Wenxin's injury, Prince Yu and He Jingzhong thanked Mei Changsu and hurried away with the doctor.

When the doctor came back from He's house, Mei Changsu was sure that He Wenxin was beaten by someone with ulterior motives. Not only was his hip bone shattered into pieces, but even his penis was injured. He would have to lie in bed and live a life worse than death for the rest of his life.

He Jingzhong did not give up. He followed Mei Changsu's instructions and sent his confidant with a large sum of money to Langya Pavilion.

"Is there still no news from Lin Chen?" After Mei Changsu asked the doctor to go back, he asked Li Gang who was waiting on the side.

"Master, three months ago, Xia Dong was chased by people from Tianquan Villa when he returned from Binzhou. However, these people were all killed outside Jinling City. According to the results of the autopsy, it was not Xia Dong who did it." Li Gang hurriedly reported the news sent back by Langya Pavilion.

"It happened three months ago? Why did it take so long?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Tianquan Villa covered up the news so well that it would have been undetectable if their account books had not revealed a flaw. Langya Pavilion has put a lot of effort into tracking this clue." Li Gang explained quickly.

It's really not Langya Pavilion's style to spend so much time investigating one thing.

"What is Xia Dong's whereabouts after returning to Jinling?" Mei Changsu asked.

"That's easy. Xia Dong returned to Jinling and went to the palace first. According to Commander Meng, she not only met with the emperor in the palace, but also took a leave. After leaving the palace, she first went to Ningguo Marquis Mansion to meet Xie Yu, and then went to Prince Mu's Mansion to pay a visit to Princess Nihuang. She left the city that day to pay tribute to her late husband. After the vacation, she returned to Xuan Jingsi, but she has been staying at home." Li Gang reported Xia Dong's recent whereabouts.

"Prince Mu's Mansion? Princess Nihuang?" Mei Changsu frowned again.

"Yes, and I also handed in a visiting card." Li Gang added a detail.

"Li Gang, get ready, let's go visit Princess Nihuang." Mei Changsu quickly ordered.

It was only when Li Gang mentioned it that he remembered that the Mu siblings had lived in Jinling for several months, but since the marriage proposal was over, Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing had never left the palace, and everyone had forgotten about them.

Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing met Mei Changsu in the front hall. After meeting again after a few months, there was a lot more distance between them.

"I wonder why Mr. Su came to Prince Mu's Mansion?" Mu Nihuang couldn't help but ask him why he became like this.

"To be honest, I came here to ask you something. Three months ago, Master Xia Dong from the Xuan Jing Division came to visit the princess. What did she want?" Mei Changsu asked a very impolite question.

"This princess and Xia Dong are close friends, Mr. Su should be aware of this. She came back from a business trip to Binzhou and came to my house to talk some girlish things. Do you want to listen, Mr. Su?" Mu Nihuang retorted without even thinking.

"Yes! Mr. Su, I always hide when my sister and Sister Xia Dong are talking. It's inappropriate for a man like you to ask about it, right?" Mu Qing also chimed in.

"I am still very curious about what kind of words require a visiting card to say." Mei Changsu persisted.

"Okay, she asked me why I disobeyed the emperor's kindness and wasted this marriage proposal. Is Mr. Su satisfied?" Mu Nihuang lied without hesitation.

"Mr. Su, now that my sister's marriage examination is over, your status as a guest official of the court is naturally gone. But now you are trying to inquire about the whereabouts of court officials. Isn't that inappropriate?" Mu Qing was not willing to be outdone.

Mei Changsu felt very uncomfortable, as the attitude of the two siblings was obviously not like this a few months ago.

"Do the princess and the young prince have any misunderstandings about Su?"

"It's Mr. Su who has misunderstood us." Mu Nihuang turned the tables.

There was no point in talking to each other, so Mei Changsu left Prince Mu's Mansion unwillingly. Did he really have to go to Xia Dong to verify it? But what reason did he have to see her?

The news from Langya Pavilion is never wrong. The things that could be covered up by Tianquan Villa must be related to that mysterious man, and Xia Dong must have seen this person in person and even talked to him.

Only in this way would Xia Dong not say a word about being chased on the road.

And what about the attitude of the Mu siblings just now? Their words were full of alienation and rejection. What went wrong?

He had vowed two days ago to avenge his brothers in the Jiangzuo League, but He Wenxin is still alive. The son of Ningyuan Earl was clamoring to take the sisters Yang Liu and Yang Xin as concubines these days, and was beaten half to death by Ningyuan Earl.

Mei Changsu quickly came out of these questions, because the flyers that had been hidden for three months appeared again, and one of them happened to fall in front of him. He took a quick look at the bento street and vomited blood and fainted.

The story of this issue is that the general's sister was favored after entering the palace and gave birth to a child, the eldest son of the emperor, while the civil official's sister had no children. As the child grew up, he became outstanding under the guidance of his uncle, the general. In recent years, the general has fought everywhere and established an army with orphans as soldiers. The prince also began to emerge in the government, and more and more ministers supported him. The emperor became more and more afraid of his eldest son and his uncle.

The restless emperor waited for his assistant: the eldest prince did not like an institution dedicated to monitoring court officials, and repeatedly petitioned to abolish it and execute the official in charge. The official was afraid that the eldest prince would settle accounts with him after he succeeded to the throne, so he looked for talents who could get rid of the general for the emperor, and finally found an ideal candidate among the nobles.

When the enemy invaded, the emperor secretly withheld food and fodder, causing the army to fight off the enemy in hunger and cold, with wounds and exhaustion. Before they could catch their breath, they were slaughtered by the emperor's confidants. The army died in the hands of the emperor they were loyal to. After the death without evidence, the official who monitored the court officials forged evidence that the eldest son of the emperor had colluded with his uncle, the general, to rebel and handed it over. In the end, the eldest son of the emperor committed suicide in prison, and the eldest son's biological mother committed suicide at the gate of the palace to prove her innocence.

No one believed that the eldest prince and his uncle would rebel, including the emperor himself...

In addition to Mei Changsu, Xiao Xuan also vomited blood that day. Was it easy for him to sit on the throne of Liang? He had been trembling with fear for decades, and had killed his eldest son, Lin Xie, who was both his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law, and his concubine Lin Leyao in tears, all for the throne. What had he done wrong?

"Gao Zhan, Meng Zhi, don't let the people in the harem know!"

These were the last words Xiao Xuan said before he fell into a coma.
