The world of film and television begins from childhood

Her mother's name is Xiao Zhihan, and her aunt's name is Jin Yu. Originally, she should call her Nanny like Zhou Chen, but Nanny Jin Yu liked Gong Yu very much, so she asked her to call her Aunt, which sounded more intimate.

Xiao Zhihan walked over and said softly, "Hurry up and sit down. You just gave birth to a child and your body hasn't recovered yet. Don't move around. Lie down."

Although she was born into a noble family, Gong Yu, who came from a brothel, was of much lower status than her. But she did not despise Gong Yu at all, and spoke softly and enthusiastically to him.

"Gong Yu, you are now a great contributor to our Zhou family, you must take good care of your health."

Gong Yu replied rather embarrassedly: "Thank you, mother. This is what I should do."

Chapter 861 The Final Blow, Xia Jiang's Doom

Xiao Zhihan and Jinyu each held a child, their faces full of smiles, their eyes full of tenderness and doting, and they kept calling softly.

"Dabao, Xiaobao..."

Although Xiao Zhihan loved her two older grandsons and wanted to be with her son, she was not the kind of indecisive, short-sighted woman who only cared about trivial matters.

She knew her son's current situation and didn't want to bring any trouble to her son, so she stayed with Zhou Chen until after midnight and left reluctantly.

After they left, Gong Yu drank some soup and then leaned against Zhou Chen.

Because Gong Yu gave birth to two children, although the children were taken care of by Aunt Ji and the maids most of the time, she also had to breastfeed frequently, so she had to sleep separately from Zhou Chen for a period of time, for fear that it would affect Zhou Chen.

Although Zhou Chen didn't mind, Gong Yu was very insistent and he had no choice but to agree. However, he would stay with Gong Yu until very late every night.

"Mother really likes Dabao and Xiaobao."

When Gong Yu talked about this, a smile appeared on her face uncontrollably. In her opinion, her mother-in-law liked her two sons, which was just like she approved of her.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Of course. I heard that if my father didn't want my mother to suffer, she would definitely have given birth to more children."

Gong Yu said: "I think the young master is the best, and mother must think so too."

Zhou Chen pinched Gong Yu's nose and said, "You are really getting better at talking now."

During the Spring Festival, Mei Changsu specially brought a lot of gifts to visit Zhou Chen. He also looked at Zhou Chen's two sons with a childlike smile on his face.

After a few days, Dabao and Xiaobao have grown a lot. They are no longer as ugly as when they were just born. Now their skin is pink and white, and they are very cute.

Even Xiao Feiliu was so happy when he saw Dabao and Xiaobao that he couldn't stop smiling, and he teased and played with them carefully.

In addition to Mei Changsu, others also sent gifts, such as Yan Yujin, Xia Dong, Meng Zhi and so on.

Princess Li Yang also sent Xie Bi to deliver gifts. Even Emperor Liang gave some rewards after hearing about this matter.

Even Prince Jing sent a lot of gifts after he found out.

The palace!

The first grand court meeting after the New Year had just ended, and Emperor Liang returned to Yangju Palace in a bad mood.

Today is the first grand court meeting. After so many days of rest, there are many things to discuss, so the meeting will last a long time.

What made him unhappy was that for some reason today, a large number of court officials in and outside the court were urging him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, and the one with the highest voice was naturally Prince Jing.

Among the many princes today, Prince Jing is undoubtedly the most powerful. In fact, since Xiao Jingxuan was deposed, he has also been fond of Prince Jing.

But the problem is that he can propose to make Prince Jing the crown prince, but so many court officials want to make Prince Jing the crown prince during the grand court meeting, and he is not in a good mood.

In his heart, the crown prince must be decided by me, the emperor. But today's incident seemed to force him, as if it would be impossible without Prince Jing.

What do these court officials want to do? I am not even dead yet, and you are ready to surrender to the new master?

If he was really that open-minded, he would not have supported Prince Yu to compete with the Crown Prince after he was appointed as the Crown Prince.

After the crown prince fell, he immediately put Prince Jing on the throne to counter Prince Yu.

It's all about balancing things, how can we let the court officials control it?

He had originally intended to make Prince Jing the crown prince, but after the officials' commotion, he was no longer in a hurry. He wanted to make it clear to everyone that he had the final say on whether to make a crown prince or not.

In the Yangju Palace, he rubbed his temples. As he got older, his efficiency in handling things dropped sharply. Most of the time, he didn't want to deal with anything. He wanted someone to help share the burden with him, but he didn't want to hand over the power.

"Gao Zhan, what do you think of Jing Yan? Is he worthy of the position of crown prince?"

The old eunuch Gao Zhan shuddered suddenly and was almost frightened to death.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter concerning the Crown Prince. You can discuss it with the ministers or the Queen. I am just a servant and I dare not speak."

Emperor Liang glared at him and snorted, "You have been with me for decades and know all my children well, but you dare not even speak up. Don't you have the courage at all?"

Gao Zhan licked his face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are right, I just don't have the courage. I just need to serve Your Majesty well. Other things have nothing to do with me."

"hehe."

Emperor Liang smiled helplessly. He knew who Gao Zhan was, but he had just asked casually and didn't think Gao Zhan could give him a satisfactory answer.

At this time, a young eunuch came in and told Emperor Liang that Xia Dong from the Xuan Jing Division wanted to see him.

Emperor Liang was somewhat puzzled: "Xia Dong? What does she want to see me for?"

Ever since what happened with Xia Jiang, he had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Xuan Jing Si. Although he did not completely abolish the Xuan Jing Si, he temporarily sealed it off.

He did not punish Xia Dong, and Xia Dong was still the Mirror Master, but he did not have the real power like before.

Gao Zhan heard Emperor Liang's muttering, his eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Xia Dong's coming is probably related to the traitor Xia Jiang."

"Xia Jiang? He's still in prison, right? Could it be that Xia Dong is here to beg for mercy?"

Although Emperor Liang was confused, after thinking about it, he decided to ask someone to call Xia Dong in.

Not long after, Xia Dong came in led by the eunuch.

"Your humble servant Xia Dong pays respect to Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice: "Xia Dong, what brings you to see me?"

Xia Dong raised his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I came here today because I found a brocade bag. The things in this brocade bag are very important. I dare not be careless and want to give it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

"A treasure bag?"

Emperor Liang was confused: "What secret bag? What are you talking about?"

Without saying a word, Xia Dong took out a brocade bag. At the signal of Emperor Liang, Gao Zhan walked over, took it, and handed it to Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang looked at the brocade bag in his hand and became even more curious.

"Where did you get this magic bag? Looking at you, is there really some big secret in it?"

Xia Dong kowtowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This originally belonged to my master. I found it by accident. I thought it was not an important thing, but who knew it actually contained a huge secret. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang's curiosity has been fully aroused: "I want to see what it is that scares you like this."

As he said this, he opened the brocade bag and saw what seemed to be a piece of paper inside. He took it out and opened it.

In just a few breaths, his expression changed, becoming very ugly, and then he sat up straight and stared at the letter intently.

"boom!"

The angry Emperor Liang slammed the letter on the table and roared, "Traitor, traitor, traitor."

His roar startled everyone in the hall. Everyone, including Gao Zhan, knelt down and kowtowed to the ground involuntarily, not daring to speak.

Emperor Liang ignored them and just glared fiercely at Xia Dong below.

"Xia Dong, tell me, was this brocade bag really found from the traitor Xia Jiang?"

Xia Dong said loudly: "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense. This item was indeed found among Master's things. It is precisely because of the importance of this matter that I came to see Your Majesty as soon as possible. Please forgive me."

Emperor Liang took a deep breath and asked again, "Besides you, has anyone else seen the letter in this brocade bag?"

Xia Dong said: "I didn't show it to anyone except me."

There was a cold light in Emperor Liang's eyes, and Xia Dong was also nervous. This matter was actually very risky, but for the sake of the plan and to bring down Xia Jiang, she still chose to do it herself.

Gao Zhan, who was most familiar with Emperor Liang, could feel Emperor Liang's murderous intent even while he was kneeling, and he couldn't help but worry about Xia Dong.

Fortunately, Emperor Liang remained silent for a long time and finally loosened his fist.

"Xia Dong, you have to keep this letter to yourself. Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty, I have never seen this letter, nor this treasure bag."

Emperor Liang nodded in satisfaction: "Don't ask about this matter anymore. I know what's going on. You, leave now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

Xia Dong walked out of Yangju Palace. She felt her back was soaked. Facing such a suspicious emperor and taking the risk to do such a thing, she was of course nervous.

Inside the palace, Emperor Liang looked at the letter on the table with a gloomy expression. Princess Linglong was a thorn in his heart. It was because of this thorn that he had never considered making Prince Yu the crown prince, let alone inheriting his throne.

The relationship between Prince Yu and Princess Linglong is a taboo among taboos and must never be spread out.

He always thought that Xia Jiang was his most loyal subject, but he never expected that Xia Jiang was actually dating Princess Linglong behind his back, and even kept the letter that Princess Linglong wrote to Prince Yu.

What was Xia Jiang trying to do? Was he trying to support Prince Yu? Or was he simply not loyal to me and was on the side of Princess Linglong and the Hua clan?

Emperor Liang, who was suspicious by nature, thought of countless possibilities in an instant, but no matter which one it was, he understood that Xia Jiang was a man with evil ambitions and must not be kept any longer.

Not only Xia Jiang, but also Prince Yu.

He was not a fool, so how could he not see the subtle relationship between Xia Jiang and Prince Yu some time ago? It was just that he trusted Xia Jiang, so he never took it to heart. But when this incident happened, he couldn't help but wonder whether Xia Jiang had colluded with Prince Yu for a long time, or whether the two had some kind of deal and so on.

So Xia Jiang needs to be dealt with, and Prince Yu also needs to be dealt with, but dealing with Prince Yu cannot be as simple as dealing with Xia Jiang.

"Gao Zhan!"

"The old slave is here."

"Come here, I have something to tell you..."

Emperor Liang whispered in Gao Zhan's ear. Gao Zhan nodded continuously, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

There was a charcoal fire in Zhou Chen's room, so the huge room was warm.

Mei Changsu and Fei Liu, each rocking a crib, teased the two babies lying in the cribs, laughing non-stop.

Zhou Chen looked at Mei Changsu helplessly, as he wished he could shove his face into Xiaobao's.

"Hey, Xiao Shu, do you really have nothing to do recently? You come to my place every day, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Mei Changsu didn't even look at Zhou Chen and continued teasing Xiaobao.

"It's quite warm here, warmer than mine. Anyway, there's nothing to do after the Chinese New Year, and it's boring to stay at home. It's so interesting to come to your place and play with my big baby and small baby. I used to think children were the most annoying, but now it seems that they are quite fun."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "At that time, you were only a teenager and you hadn't grown up yet, so of course you would find children annoying. Now, your mentality has changed, and you are more patient, so you find children fun and interesting."

"What about Fei Liu? He was about the same age as I was back then. Doesn't he like the two little guys very much?"

"Fei Liu is a genuine child, he is different."

Fei Liu raised his head and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Fei Liu is not a child anymore, Fei Liu is an adult."

Zhou Chen found it funny to hear Fei Liu say such long sentences in a row.

"Okay, okay, okay, Fei Liu is an adult now. Do you want Dabao and Xiaobao to call you Brother Fei Liu or Uncle Fei Liu?"

"Of course it's my brother. Fei Liu is my brother."

Zhou Chen curled his lips at Mei Changsu: "Did you see that?"

Mei Changsu played with Xiaobao for a while until Xiaobao couldn't bear it anymore and yawned, then he let Aunt Ji take him away and coax him to sleep.

Sitting down next to Zhou Chen, he talked about what happened today.

"Sister Dong has already been to the palace. After she learns about the letter, she will definitely lose all trust and patience with Xia Jiang. Xia Jiang won't live long."

Getting rid of Xia Jiang was one of their plans. In the TV drama, Xia Jiang took advantage of the March Spring Hunt to escape from the prison, but now, Zhou Chen would not give him this opportunity again.

"Once Xia Jiang dies, and then Xie Yu dies, there is only one last step left."

Mei Changsu nodded and said, "But the prerequisite is that Jingyan firmly holds the position of Crown Prince and has the trust of the ministers. Otherwise, it will not be easy to force that person to overturn the verdict."

"So it still takes time, right?"

"Yes, it will take some time."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, as long as Xia Jiang is dead, you don't have to worry too much. Just wait slowly."

In the plot, Mei Changsu was actually able to hold on for a while, but was later captured by Xia Jiang and forced to take poison. Although it did not take his life, it made his already shaky body even more dilapidated, so in the end he didn't even last three months.

But now Mei Changsu's health is much better than in the plot. As long as Xia Jiang dies, Mei Changsu will no longer have to worry so much and consume his energy like before.

In this situation, with his physical condition and good medical conditions, he could at least hold on for one or two years despite his serious injuries.
