Wandering the Heavens

"Prajna knows everything! So, Marshal Lin Shu, you should avenge your grievances and don't come to Hongxiuzhao to make trouble. Otherwise, don't blame me, the descendant of the Hua clan, for not being able to resist killing the young marshal of the Red Flame Army to avenge those innocent souls!" Qin Prajna's true intentions were revealed at this moment.

"You..." Mei Changsu started coughing again.

"How does it feel to die at the hands of the person you are loyal to? You foolishly want to prove that the man was deceived, not knowing that this was a mutiny carefully planned under his instructions, except that the targets of the mutiny were the most powerful military generals at the time and his son who was in the limelight. If I were a man and had the same experience as you, with so much power and resources, I would naturally confirm the charges against that person, so that all his painstaking planning and framing would not be in vain." Qin Prajna threw the bag that she had prepared in front of Mei Changsu.

"Look, this is the evidence you're looking for. Xie Yu asked someone who is good at imitating other people's handwriting to write a letter of help from Nie Feng, the deputy commander of the Red Flame Army. The content is that Lin Xie, the commander of the Red Flame Army, plans to launch a mutiny to drive Xiao Xuan off the throne and support Qi Wang Xiao Jingyu as the emperor. Take this pile of things to the Censorate to complain!"

Qin Banruo said this and left her seat, no longer paying attention to Mei Changsu's increasingly intense coughing.

Gong Yu couldn't help but come to this Hongxiuzhao after all. She hurriedly climbed up and bumped into Qin Banruo who was about to leave.

"You are also a member of the Hua tribe, but you care so much about the son of your enemy. It's really shameful!"

Under Yu Xian's training, Qin Banruo no longer forbears but shows her edge. Gong Yu's pitiful appearance loses her aura in front of her. Gong Yu's heart and eyes are full of Mei Changsu. She bites her lip, walks around Qin Banruo and comes to Mei Changsu, pushes Fei Liu aside, and personally calms Mei Changsu down.

"Why are you here?" Mei Changsu finally stabilized his breathing under Gong Yu's method.

"I... I'm worried!" Gong Yu lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Mei Changsu's eyes.

"I'm fine, Feiliu, let's go back."

Mei Changsu coughed as he let Gong Yu and Fei Liu help him up, and left Hongxiuzhao together with the bag Qin Banruo had given him.

The rumors in the palace were naturally not spread by Qin Banruo. She even withdrew all the people around Concubine Jing, leaving only a few people to protect Queen Yan. Qin Banruo did not assign them any tasks other than protecting Queen Yan.

After returning to the Su residence, Mei Changsu couldn't wait to open the package given by Qin Banruo. Inside were letters between Xia Jiang, Xie Yu and others, as well as a draft of a letter for help written in Nie Feng's handwriting.

Xia Jiang and Xie Yu were both good at guessing other people's thoughts. Without Xiao Xuan's nod, how could they frame a general who was loyal to Liang State and had outstanding military achievements?

"Take this pile of stuff and go to the Censorate to complain!"

Mei Changsu remembered the teasing look in Qin Banruo's eyes when she said this, and started coughing again.

When Doctor Yan saw him like this, he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth and refused to let him go out. He asked Li Gang to put him under house arrest and let him slip away. Sure enough, when he came back, he looked even worse.

Mei Changsu also knew that Doctor Yan was doing this for his own good, but he had more important things to do.

"You're not really going to take these things to the Censorate to file a complaint! That woman Qin Prajna is not trustworthy." Lin Chen was very worried when he saw his friend's look.

"You know what? Qin Banruo and the person behind her have been laughing at me, so these things are true, but they are useless. It is really ironic to die at the hands of the person I am loyal to, but the righteousness between the monarch and his subjects is here, what can I do!" Mei Changsu was a little exasperated.

Doctor Yan saw that something was wrong and quickly gave him an injection, and Mei Changsu fell asleep immediately.

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Doctor Yan glared at Lin Chen fiercely.

Mu Nihuang once again received a visiting card from Mei Changsu. He was about to show his cards. Mu Nihuang didn't want to provoke him, but he had been blocking the gate for several days in a row. If she didn't see him again, he would probably make trouble in front of the emperor, which would be very embarrassing.

"Mr. Su, you came to Prince Mu's Mansion, but is there anything you want to inquire about?" Mu Nihuang arranged people outside the palace.

"Sister Nihuang, I am Lin Shu." Mei Changsu looked at Mu Nihuang who was sitting opposite him with deep affection.

"Mei Changsu, leader of the Jiangzuo League, Su Zhe, the strategist, and Lin Shu, the young commander of the Red Flame Army. Which one should I believe is true?" Mu Nihuang waited for the moment when he revealed his cards, and her heart was extremely calm.

"You knew it a long time ago?" Mei Changsu had a hunch but couldn't accept it.

"I knew it before entering Jinling." Mu Nihuang admitted it frankly.

"Then why did you..." Mei Changsu didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

"Master Mei, I don't know why you dragged your sick body to Jinling, but it is wrong of you to pretend to be my brother Lin Shu who has been dead for twelve years!" Mu Nihuang naturally knew what question Mei Changsu wanted to ask.

"Sister Nihuang, you misunderstood. I am doing this for your own good." Mei Changsu was confused at the moment.

"For my own good, can you please tell me Bailiqi's intention in participating in the martial arts competition to win a bride?" Mu Nihuang asked.

"I know you have no intention of getting married, and you can't go against the emperor's edict, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort." Mei Changsu's explanation was pale.

"It seems that Master Mei understands Nihuang's thoughts very well!" Mu Nihuang's tone did not show any happiness: "How about Nihuang be a villain for once and test the mind of Jiangzuo Meilang, a gentleman."

"What does Sister Nihuang want to say?" Mei Changsu began to get scared.

"It's up to this princess to marry or not. The reason why Sect Master Mei sent Bailiqi to get involved is simply because he is afraid that Nihuang will suddenly change her mind and marry into a family in Jinling City. This family may support the former crown prince, or support Prince Yu, or may be neutral, but the former crown prince and Prince Yu will keep a close eye on them. They will not be able to support Prince Jing in the future."

Mei Changsu's face turned pale: "Why do you think so?"

"In this Jinling City, there is a trap every ten steps and a plot every hundred steps. Nihuang has no choice but to think about it!" Mu Nihuang said coldly.

"Haha, I was just being too sentimental. Mei Changsu came to your house today to seek support from Prince Mu's Mansion to make Prince Jing the Crown Prince. I hope Princess Nihuang will consider it." Mei Changsu's face was gloomy.

"From the beginning to the end, Prince Mu's Mansion only supported the emperor and did not participate in the fight for the throne. As for supporting Prince Jing, the moment he sat on the throne, there was no need for Sect Leader Mei to come and persuade us. Prince Mu's Mansion would have stood up and sworn allegiance the first time." Mu Nihuang spoke sincerely.

"Princess Nihuang, adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need." Mei Changsu said after taking a steady breath.

"Master Mei, why don't you tell me, if Prince Mu's Mansion submits a petition now or stands up to second the motion when someone else comes forward to request that Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan be made the crown prince, what are the risks and benefits?" Mu Nihuang asked with a smile.

"The officials in Daliang are incompetent, and we need someone like Prince Jing..." Mei Changsu's explanation was weak.

"This princess would like to tell you what risks the Prince Mu's Mansion will face if it is involved in the fight for the throne. As the only king of a different surname in Daliang, he has been in charge of the military power, which has already made many people uncomfortable. What will the court officials think if he participates in the fight for the throne again? Does the Prince Mu's Mansion have other plans? Sect Leader Mei, have you ever thought about what the fate of the Prince Mu's Mansion will be? Don't say that Sect Leader Mei's plan will not fail." Mu Nihuang interrupted Mei Changsu.

"Isn't Prince Jing worthy of the support of Prince Mu's Mansion?" Mei Changsu was extremely disappointed with Mu Nihuang's words.

"The Mu Palace has only supported the emperor from the beginning to the end. So, Master Mei, please forgive me for my rude rejection of your kindness." Mu Nihuang said this but there was no apology on her face.
