The wind is blowing

In August, there were originally two extremely important days for the ruling and opposition parties.One is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-], and the other is the Emperor’s birthday on August [-].However, because of the national funeral of the Empress Dowager, all the celebrations were stopped, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was only a holiday.

The closer the birthday of Emperor Liang was, the more closely all the relatives and nobles of the royal family made preparations to present birthday gifts as usual.This has always been an opportunity for them to compete, and everyone has spent a lot of thought.

The prince ordered someone to prepare a large screen with [-]% off flying stitches and dragon embroidery, which is exquisitely crafted and colorful.King Yu's subordinates found a piece of Taihu stone that was naturally eroded into a cursive character "Shou" from nowhere. .

While the crown prince and Yu Wang were in full swing of their preparations, Xiao Jingyan was still busy with the tasks in hand, not worried about it at all.

Mei Changsu had already explained to him that he would be the one to prepare for the birthday gift, and he only needed to bring the birthday gift into the palace when the time came.

I don't know if it's the same bow this time, Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but smile when he thought of Emperor Liang receiving his gift on his birthday in his previous life.

The day soon came to the birthday, and because there was no music during the national mourning period, the atmosphere of the banquet was not strong after all, and the only thing that could arouse people's interest was the part of presenting gifts.

Panting a little, Emperor Liang handed the bow to Gao Zhan, and looked at Xiao Jingyan's self-blaming expression, but he sighed a little for the child's frankness (big mistake), and he always read him when he had good things.Although things are not the best, this child is indeed filial.

The satisfaction in Emperor Liang's heart is not known to others. The scene just now seemed like a joke in the eyes of King Yu. Because of Emperor Liang's reward, some of the vigilance he raised towards Xiao Jingyan in his heart has dropped a lot now.A prince who doesn't even know how to please his father is really nothing to worry about.

Although the guests were talking and laughing as much as possible, Emperor Liang's interest was still low. After receiving a few rounds of toasts, Yili got up and drove back to the harem.

Xiao Jingyan knelt down with the royal family and sent Emperor Liang to leave, his face was a little complicated as he bent down.There is one more year, one year later today, it is time for all the dust to settle.

Maybe it was because of fatigue, maybe it was because of alcohol, Emperor Liang couldn't get up on time the next day, the strange Gao Zhan went inside to see, he didn't expect Emperor Liang to be sick, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor rushed to the palace immediately, and after careful diagnosis, there was no serious illness, so he could only prescribe some evacuation prescriptions for warm treatment.After hearing the news, the concubines in the harem, headed by the empress, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the imperial doctor's words.

When Emperor Liang fell ill, Xiao Jingyan had to go to the palace to visit him both emotionally and logically.Of course, Yichen, the grandson, was also accompanying him.It's just that Emperor Liang was tired and didn't let the people who greeted peace enter the hall. They just kowtowed outside the hall and then left.

Anyway, they had already entered the palace, so Xiao Jingyan was not in a hurry to go back, so he took Yichen along the way and went to Zhiluo Palace to greet Concubine Jing.

In the next few days, nothing was the same. After the news spread from the palace that the crown prince had been imprisoned, everyone was anxious about this matter, and Xiao Jingyan was slightly relieved.He was worried about whether there would be any more changes, but now it seems that he is worrying too much.

Compared to Xiao Jingyan's relief, Meng Zhi is going to be annoyed to death by a bunch of people.It was unreasonable for Guangguang to close the East Palace with a verbal command.Now Emperor Liang was upset and hid in Zhiluo Palace, so if people want to know the truth of the matter, of course they can only come to him.

In order to avoid the officials of the Eastern Palace and those old ministers, Meng Zhi came back to shift, reorganized the most handy people to be on duty, and arranged them to go to the Eastern Palace. The Imperial Army also ordered him so clearly that he couldn't pry his mouth open, so he hid and relaxed for a while. .

Without knowing the real reason, it is difficult to formulate corresponding countermeasures. In addition, even the empress and concubine Yue couldn't find out his true attitude on Emperor Liang's side.So no matter if they were planning to protect it or they were preparing to add fuel to the fire, they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.All kinds of strange arguments circulated in private, and the government and the people were in chaos.

However, Meng Zhi, one of the important figures in the incident, was standing in Prince Jing's bedroom at this time, and explained to the owner of the room who was pretending to be surprised:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, no one has noticed my coming. I think it's better to report to Your Highness as soon as possible about the Eastern Palace."

Xiao Jingyan was originally a calm person, let alone now.After instructing his confidants outside the door a few words, he dragged Meng Zhi into the secret passage.

"Let's talk about it after meeting Xiaoshu, lest you say it a second time."

With a promise, Meng Zhi followed him into the secret passage, and came to the secret room where he had stayed many times.

Xiao Jingyan pulled the bell rope to notify Mei Changsu of his arrival, but after waiting twice as long as usual, there was still no sign of the other party.Seeing this, Meng Zhi was a little uneasy, worried that something had happened to him, but seeing Xiao Jingyan's godlike presence, he suddenly calmed down.

Prince Jing was not in a hurry, he thought it was all right, why bothering himself.

After waiting for another stick of incense, there was finally movement in the secret passageway at Su's residence, but it was Fei Liu's young and handsome face that appeared at the entrance of the secret chamber.I saw that his tone was a little unhappy and authentic:

"Wait!"

"Fei Liu, did Brother Su call you here?"

Seeing that someone finally came, Meng Zhi hurriedly asked, and also found that Fei Liu was in a strange mood at this time.Fortunately, Fei Liu has become more sensible recently, so he still pays attention to him.

"Ok!"

"Where's Brother Su?"

"Outside!"

Meng Zhi probably understood a little bit.

"Did someone come to talk to Brother Su?"

"Ok!"

"who is it?"

"Poisonous snake!"

Speaking of this, Fei Liu's tone unexpectedly contained a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Meng Zhi was taken aback, and quickly asked again:

"Who are you talking about?"

"Poisonous snake!"

Fei Liu dislikes answering the same question repeatedly, and it happens to be about people he dislikes, so he glared at Meng Zhi impatiently.

Meng Zhi thought for a while, then confirmed:

"Is it King Yu?"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Meng Zhi had a clear understanding of the situation, and then he was slightly relieved and sat down peacefully.And Xiao Jingyan, who had already guessed at the side, saw Fei Liu still standing by and staring at the two of them earnestly, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked:

"Fei Liu, why are you so unhappy today?"

"Hate!"

Xiao Jingyan was more or less aware of Fei Liu's way of thinking, and guessed:

"You don't like Yu Wang coming to look for Brother Su, do you?"

"Ok!"

"why?"

"uncomfortable!"

"Who?"

"Brother Su!"

Xiao Jingyan and Meng Zhi looked at each other, both of them were worried.

"Fei Liu, why is Brother Su uncomfortable seeing Queen Wanyu?"

Fei Liu tilted his head to look at him for a while, thought for a while, and then slowly said:

"cough."

Now Meng Zhi knew it, it seemed that Mei Changsu's health was not as good as he usually said in front of him.I don't know what the real situation is like?

Mei Changsu happened to walk in at this moment, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him, staring fixedly at him.

"Sorry for the late arrival, King Yu just came to discuss some matters before sending him away."

Mei Changsu was explaining, seeing Xiao Jingyan's and Meng Zhi's similarly different expressions, he immediately sensed that the atmosphere in the room was not right.

"What's wrong? What were you just... talking about?"

"It's nothing."

Xiao Jingyan looked into his eyes, but his tone was very calm.

"We're talking about your coughing..."
