Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Envoy Yan! How is the injury of the warrior Bailiqi? Why does his face look so different? I'm afraid he should be taken back and rested."

The envoy from Yan had not expected that Emperor Liang would actually want to send him back, so he immediately bowed and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, although Baili Warrior failed, he is one of the ten candidates after all. According to the rules, he..."

Before he finished speaking, the chief emissary of Prince Mu's Palace stood up and sneered, "You can't even beat three children, and you still want to challenge the princess?

Even if according to the rules, the princess is unwilling to do it herself, she will send these three children to do it, so this is not considered bullying the Baili Warriors. "

The Yan envoy wanted to say something else when he heard Emperor Liang say with a smile, "Envoy Yan, the health of Baili Warrior is more important. Let him go back and recuperate."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Mei Changsu and said, "Mr. Su, you have worked hard. Let's reward you together after the examination."

After Emperor Liang finished speaking, he left the palace, and everyone who attended the banquet also dispersed.

……

Wang Yue was originally going to wait for Jing Yao, but he didn't expect that just as he arrived outside the Jiying Palace and was about to walk towards the Empress Dowager's palace, he heard someone shouting behind him, "Commander Wang, wait a moment!"

Wang Yue looked back and was shocked to find that Princess Nihuang and Mei Changsu came out together, while the three children had disappeared. They must have been sent out by Princess Nihuang.

Wang Yue stopped and looked back at the two of them. He didn't see any intimacy between them and sighed in his heart. These two people really didn't want to admit defeat.

When the two of them approached, Wang Yue asked curiously, "Princess Nihuang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After Princess Nihuang and the others came to Wang Yue, they said with a half-smile, "Did you understand the competition between the three children and Bailiqi today?"

Wang Yue glanced at Mei Changsu and pretended to be innocent and said, "What did you see? I was thinking about Concubine Hui's matter today and how to report it to the King of Yue. I didn't pay attention to this competition."

Nihuang looked back and forth at Wang Yue and Mei Changsu, then sneered and said, "I don't have any other eyesight, but I can still see that it is not easy to defeat Baili Qi with just this sword formation. What do you think, General Wang?"

Mei Changsu did not pay attention to Nihuang, but looked at Wang Yue with some confusion. He thought that Wang Yue had not exposed the competition today at all, and seemed to be in a trance.

He murmured in his heart, why does it seem like everything is planned out by this Jinyiwei commander, and he is a bit like the King of Yue?

Thinking of this, he was moved and said tentatively, "In fact, the reason why Bailiqi lost is because he is from our Jiangzuo League. Commander Wang knows our Jiangzuo League very well, and he should have heard of this person."

Wang Yue knew that Mei Changsu was testing him, but he pretended to be confused, shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "Sect Master Su, you may have misunderstood. The princess came to me because she thought we were in the same group.

However, the identity of Bailiqi reminded me of one thing. "

Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Wang Yue saw that Mei Changsu was very curious, so he smiled and said, "I heard that the weakest Sixth Prince of Beiyan became the Crown Prince. I think it must be Mr. Su's work. I was wondering how you did it. But today I heard you say that Baili Qi is your man, which made me understand that you must have sent people around the other princes."

Mei Changsu didn't expect Wang Yue to have guessed it, so he cupped his hands and said, "I admire you. The Jinyiwei is indeed worthy of its reputation. They even know what the Jiangzuo League did."

Wang Yue looked at Mei Changsu's slightly smug expression and asked curiously, "Mr. Su may also know that when we started the Yue Kingdom, we used the Red Flame Army's troops.

My King of Yue was worried that the Red Flame Army would be unacceptable to the State of Yan, so he abandoned Qingzhou and headed south to Wuyue. Since Mr. Su has such a good relationship with Northern Yan, I wonder if he is an enemy of the State of Yue?"

Chapter 106: Complain!

Mei Changsu certainly knew what Wang Yue said. He was not asking him to resolve the hostility between Yue and Yan. After all, Yue and Northern Yan had already formed an alliance through marriage, and the two countries were now trading partners. It was impossible for them to need the help of the Jiangzuo League to resolve the conflict.

Wang Yue was asking the Jiangzuo League and the Kingdom of Yue whether they were ready to become enemies!

Mei Changsu smiled helplessly, knowing that he had not made things clear with Wang Yue before coming here, which had led to the current rift.

He actually wanted to communicate properly, but before he had talked to Wang Yue for a few words, Xiao Jingrui rushed over and he had to stop temporarily.

Later, he came directly to Jinling and did not communicate further with Wang Yue. It was normal to have this rift.

He looked at Wang Yue and said meaningfully, "We, the Jiangzuo League, are not involved in the affairs of the imperial court. Of course, the Yan State has no hostility towards us, just like our Jiangzuo League and the Yue State."

Wang Yue knew that Mei Changsu was telling him the relationship between the Jiangzuo League and the Red Flame Army, so he should trust him more.

It’s just that the words of counselors are lies, and intrigue and deception are considered normal in these people’s minds.

He knew that he could not find out anything by testing, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "The King of Yue once said that if the Jiangzuo League does not betray the State of Yue, the State of Yue will not betray the Jiangzuo League."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Princess Nihuang and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, you have worked so hard to arrange for Bailiqi to help eliminate so many Daliang masters. You must give Princess Nihuang a reasonable explanation."

Mei Changsu vaguely understood that Wang Yue knew his true identity and wanted him to make it clear with the princess.

Few people know his true identity, but the person in front of him is Wang Yue's confidant, so it is not surprising that he knows some details.

But how could he explain it clearly?

He hesitated for a moment, but still said with a hard heart, "We, the Jiangzuo League, have worked so hard just to gain favor from the Mu Mansion in Yunnan. We have no other intentions."

Princess Nihuang had already understood the hint from Wang Yue's words, but she was very unhappy when she saw that Mei Changsu refused to admit it.

But she still asked unwillingly, "Any expert can see this sword formation clearly. Commander Wu is close to you, what about Commander Meng?"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, she hinted to Mei Changsu that she already knew Mei Changsu's identity and just wanted Mei Changsu to express his attitude.

Mei Changsu also understood what Princess Nihuang meant, which was that Commander Meng helped him because he was Lin Shu.

After all, Commander Meng originally came from the Red Flame Army and had nothing to do with Mei Changsu. But now he is helping to deceive Emperor Liang. What else is possible except that they know each other?

Mei Changsu was speechless. It was really difficult for him to explain. After all, Commander Meng only obeyed the orders of the emperor and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

Apart from Lin Shu, who has a close relationship with Commander Meng, who else can make Commander Meng pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Fortunately, at this time, a maid came over with a palace maid, bowed to the people and said, "Princess, the Queen said that she has not seen you for many days and really missed you, so she specially invited you to Zhengyang Palace to have a chat."

When Mei Changsu heard that someone was inviting Princess Nihuang, he thought of Princess Li Yang's reminder.

It turned out that when the Queen deliberately punished Concubine Hui to light candles in the deceased Queen Mother's bedroom, Concubine Jing went along to comfort her and happened to hear about someone taking love threads from the abandoned Queen Mother's palace.

After Concubine Jing received the news, she thought that Mei Changsu, the host of Nihuang's literary examination, was at Princess Li Yang's house, so she quickly notified Princess Li Yang.

Princess Li Yang was a victim of love troubles. Of course, she didn't want other women to repeat her mistakes, so she really notified Mei Changsu.

After Mei Changsu received the news, he told Princess Nihuang when he entered the palace today. So when he heard the Queen asking Nihuang to come over, he subconsciously suspected the Queen and quickly used his eyes to stop Nihuang.

Princess Nihuang was angry with Mei Changsu at the moment. She looked at Mei Changsu coldly, and then said coldly, "The Queen Mother invited me to Zhengyang Palace. I really dare to postpone it. Please!"

After she finished speaking, she followed the three palace maids and nannies and left with a very resolute attitude.

Mei Changsu understood why Nihuang went, and felt very bitter, but he still did not reach out to stop her.

After they left, he frowned and looked at Wang Yue and said, "Commander Wang, can I trouble you with something?"

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows, probably guessing what Mei Changsu was thinking. He pretended to be curious and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mei Changsu frowned and said seriously, "Can you please help persuade Princess Jingyao to go to Zhengyang Palace?"

Wang Yue looked at Mei Changsu's tangled expression and said speechlessly, "The fighting in the harem is very terrifying. Although these three people are said to be hired by the queen, who can guarantee that they are really from Zhengyang Palace?"

Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment. He asked in confusion, "Are you saying that these three people are not from Zhengyang Palace? Someone falsely conveyed the Queen's order?"

Wang Yue rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "You are a genius, but the point is who these three people belong to?

The point is, this is the palace!

Now that Princess Nihuang is choosing a husband, either the Queen or Concubine Yue may try to harm Nihuang, so it would definitely be dangerous for her to go there, and it doesn't matter who it is.

You had the chance to keep Princess Nihuang, but you didn't do it.

Now she insists on not going, and no one can force her, that is her choice.

Mei Changsu, do you understand what this means?"

Mei Changsu looked at Wang Yue with burning eyes, and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "What do you know?"

Wang Yue shrugged and said casually, "Before I came here, the prince had already told me that Mei Changsu is half his own. I only need to use my brain to think about it and I can understand the trick here. You must be the missing Lin Shu!"

Mei Changsu saw Wang Yue was so confident that he did not argue. He just sighed and said, "I had no choice! I am no longer the same Lin Shu!"

Wang Yue was a little puzzled, so he asked in confusion, "What do you mean? With the strength of your Jiangzuo League, marrying Princess Nihuang is also a strong alliance. I don't know what you are struggling with."

Mei Changsu sighed and said helplessly, "Since the King of Yue has explained it to you so clearly, you should also know my physical condition. I have not recovered since I was injured many years ago.

The head of Yaowang Valley personally examined me and said that it would be difficult for me to have children in the future."

Wang Yue opened his mouth. He looked at Mei Changsu who was wrapped like a rice dumpling and realized that it was not only difficult for Mei Changsu to have children, but he might even have difficulty in being humane.

But he is a modern man after all, and he thinks that in this situation all he needs to do is take some medicine. But this man, Mei Changsu, probably doesn't want to reveal his pitiful situation in front of his fiancée.

His attitude was no longer as stern as before, but he still asked with a lack of confidence, "Maybe Princess Nihuang doesn't care?"

Mei Changsu looked towards the palace gate in the distance and said in a melancholy voice, "Did you know that two years ago, there was another war between Nanchu and Prince Mu's Palace?"

Wang Yue nodded. Of course he remembered that Chen Qianzhi wanted Wang Yue to take advantage of the situation, but Wang Yue refused.

He didn't know why everyone was talking about this, so he asked in confusion, "I know! That's because there is the Yue Kingdom to the north of Nanchu, so they can't go north at all. If they want to expand their territory, they can only choose to go south.

Of course, it could also be for revenge, after all, there is a lot of resentment between the two sides.”

Mei Changsu agreed with Wang Yue's statement. He watched Nihuang's back disappear, and then he said seriously, "Nan Chu's idea of ​​a battle method of connecting boats with iron chains and using boats as a camp caused heavy losses to Prince Mu's Mansion. I asked Nie Feng's brother Nie Yi to help. After a battle, Nihuang and Nie Yi fell in love with each other and even sent people to Jiangzuo League!"

Wang Yue's forehead was black, and he said speechlessly, "Are you stupid? That's your fiancée! Nie Yi actually has feelings for Ni Huang. It's obviously his fault first, but why do you act as if it's your fault? Are you planning to give the Jiangzuo League away as Nie Yi's dowry?"

Wang Yue seemed to see the shadow of Li Xunhuan in Mei Changsu. No matter how much his friend liked his fiancée, he couldn't give her away.

When Nie Yi fell in love with Queen Ni and let Mei Changsu know, he was doomed to die.

Of course, if they did it on purpose on the road, then even if we don't kill them, we should send them as far away as possible.

Mei Changsu shook his head and said sadly, "Nie Feng and Nie Yi have followed me since a long time ago. Our friendship is like that of brothers. You don't understand this."

Wang Yue looked at Mei Changsu with a strange expression. Mei Changsu was ruthless when he tried to trick him. When the Yue Kingdom had just experienced a great war, this guy turned around and took his men away. But why was he a little different when it came to the two brothers Nie Feng and Nie Yi?

He didn't want to argue with Mei Changsu, so he just said, "I really don't understand if you have a mess in your head. Since you have given up, she is someone else's wife, why do you worry about it?"

Mei Changsu saw that Wang Yue was about to ask more questions, so he bowed to Wang Yue very solemnly, and then said seriously, "I would like to ask Commander Wang for help."

Wang Yue shook his head and firmly rejected Mei Changsu's suggestion. He wanted to help Concubine Hui vent her anger and didn't mind dealing with Concubine Yue again, but he didn't want to get involved in other people's love stories.

……

After Wang Yue and Mei Changsu separated, they rushed to Concubine Hui's palace.

Jing Yao had been feeling a little restless for a long time. She was still like this even after being teased by her mother several times. Until she saw Wang Yue coming over, she stood up and hurriedly walked out of Concubine Hui's palace and headed towards the imperial study.

She was actually very afraid of her father. She was very courageous at the beginning, but when she was about to reach Yangju Palace, she became a little hesitant.

She glanced around, then asked cautiously, "My Lord, is it really appropriate for me to complain like this?"

Wang Yue knew what Jing Yao was afraid of, so he smiled and said, "How can this be called a complaint? My eldest brother-in-law lives outside the palace. You can take this opportunity to say that you want Concubine Hui to recuperate outside the palace for a while, so that you don't have to run to the palace every day."

He said this to retreat in order to advance. Concubine Hui was bullied in the palace and wanted to live outside the palace in her son's home. In fact, this was a disguised way of letting Emperor Liang make the decision.

Under normal circumstances, Emperor Liang would definitely not make the decision for Concubine Hui, but today was different.

Today was the day when the Empress and Concubine Yue conspired to plot against Princess Ninghuang, but their conspiracy was exposed in front of everyone, forcing the Emperor to punish Concubine Yue and the Crown Prince.

However, the balance between the harem and the court was carefully prepared by him, and it was impossible for him to break this balance because of Princess Nihuang.

Therefore, he would not punish Concubine Yue and the Crown Prince severely, even though he risked the alienation between Nihuang and Prince Mu's Mansion.

But what if the queen was also caught?

According to the emperor's plan, he could punish both sides at the same time, so that Princess Nihuang could vent her anger, and at the same time he could also put a pressure on the Queen and Concubine Yue, and also buy off Jing Yao. It was simply a matter of killing three birds with one stone.

Jing Yao had already heard Wang Yue's story, but she still said helplessly, "I'm afraid this will make my father angry with me."

Wang Yue knew that Jing Yao was just talking. No matter what she said this time, she would talk to Emperor Liang about Concubine Hui. She just needed his encouragement.

He smiled and consoled her, "If it really doesn't work, then just file your complaint without any worries. Emperor Liang will probably satisfy your wishes for the sake of Yue State."

Chapter 107: Joy and Worry

Jing Yao hesitated for a moment, but decided to test the emperor's attitude. If Concubine Hui could live in the Third Prince's residence for a while, she wouldn't have to go to the palace to see her mother every time.

But this is not an easy thing after all, Jing Yao can only do her best.

After Wang Yue accompanied Jing Yao to the imperial study, he waited at the door, and Jing Yao walked in alone.

No one knew what the father and daughter were talking about, but Wang Yue was not in a hurry and he still had some patience.

But although he was not in a hurry, some people were. Not long after, someone came rushing over.

When Eunuch Gao heard the noise outside, he hurried out. Seeing that it was a young eunuch, he said angrily, "You want to die! How dare you be so flustered in front of His Majesty's palace?"

The young eunuch was originally sent to take the blame. He knew it very well in his heart, but he still hurriedly said, "Eunuch Gao, there is a big incident in the palace. The Empress Dowager, please let your Majesty go over there."

Eunuch Gao carefully identified himself and found that the young eunuch seemed to be from the Empress Dowager's side. He then nodded, asked the young eunuch to wait, and he went in to report to the Emperor.

The emperor is now old, and it is rare for a daughter to come to him and act coquettishly, just wanting him to take care of Concubine Hui.
