The world of film and television begins from childhood

It did take Jamel Xiao a long time to digest it, and it was only after a long time that he came back to his senses.

When he looked at Mei Changsu again, his eyes were full of guilt and regret.

"Xiao Shu, since you escaped death that year, why don't you come to me? If you had come to me, these years wouldn't have been so difficult."

Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "Jingyan, I know you care about me, but if I really came back to find you, it would only hurt you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyan was choked up. Yes, he was not in the capital when the incident between Prince Qi and the Red Flame Army happened, so he was spared from blame.

But even so, he was still hated by Emperor Liang and was suppressed for more than ten years.

Seeing what Xiao Jingyan was thinking, Mei Changsu smiled slightly.

"But it's good like this now, you have grown up now. If Brother Prince Qi knew your current achievements, he would definitely be very pleased."

Hearing Mei Changsu mention Prince Qi, Xiao Jingyan's expression became even more gloomy. Prince Qi was the object of his admiration and pursuit throughout his life. Even though he was now the crown prince, he never felt that he was better than his brother Prince Qi back then.

"Xiao Shu, you have suffered a lot over the years."

"No, I have never felt that I have suffered so much. The ones who have suffered the most are the people who died unjustly. For more than a decade, my goal has been to have the unjust cases retried, but I also know that this is not so easy to achieve."

Xiao Jingyan said without hesitation: "Leave it to me, I will definitely help you, Brother Qi Wang, Marshal Lin, and all those who died unjustly, to clear their grievances and redress their wrongs."

Mei Changsu said: "I know what you are thinking, but it is not easy to accomplish this, because we can only overturn the verdict when the current emperor is in power to completely clear the injustice. If you are the one to overturn the verdict for us, then..."

Although he didn't finish speaking, Jamel Xiao understood what Zhou Chen meant.

When his father was in power, the case was overturned and announced to the world, which was equivalent to his father taking the initiative to admit his mistake and completely clearing up the injustice of that year.

But if the verdict is overturned when he is in power, the meaning will be different. It would be equivalent to him overturning the case of the previous emperor. No matter what the truth is, it will definitely attract many people's doubts, and Prince Qi and the Red Flame Army will not be able to truly clear their grievances.

Although he was in a confused mood, he soon thought that Xiao Shu in his eyes was now a talented person and there must be a way.

"Then what should we do? I'll do whatever you want me to do, as long as we can get this done."

Ever since he knew that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu, he had absolute trust in Mei Changsu. Even if Mei Changsu stabbed him now, he would not resist.

Mei Changsu sighed, "It's not easy to get our emperor to ask for a retrial and admit his mistakes. We must use all the power we can to make him submit."

When Xiao Jingyan heard Mei Changsu say that he wanted to force his father, there was no trace of strangeness or reluctance on his face.

Although Emperor Liang's attitude towards him had changed greatly over the past year, he actually did not have many feelings for his father.

After experiencing what happened more than ten years ago, coupled with the suppression over the past decade, he has long understood what kind of person his father is.

If Mei Changsu wanted to deal with Emperor Liang, he would definitely agree with him.

All I can say is that the father is kind and the son is filial.

"What do you want to do specifically, and how can I cooperate with you?"

Mei Changsu did not refuse anymore, but told Xiao Jingyan his plan. He planned to use Xie Yu's death to let Princess Li Yang come to the fore, and the day he chose was the day of Emperor Liang's birthday banquet.

Xiao Jingyan nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with Mei Changsu's plan.

"In fact, I talked about this matter with the Minister of Revenue Shen Zhui and the Minister of Punishment Cai Quan a few days ago. Shen Zhui advised me not to be impulsive. His idea is the same as yours, Xiao Shu."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Shen Zhui is a smart man. He also knows how to advance and retreat and protect himself."

He had naturally investigated what kind of person Shen Zhui was a long time ago, otherwise he would not have recommended him to Xiao Jingyan.

After agreeing on a preliminary plan with Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingyan's mood recovered a lot and he turned to look at Zhou Chen again.

"I really didn't expect that you, Zhou Chen, would become what you are now. The Young Master Yu in the Jianghu and the deputy leader Luosha of the Jiangzuo League are actually the same person."

He never expected Lin Shu to become Mei Changsu, and similarly, he never expected Zhou Chen to become Gongzi Yu.

Especially since Zhou Chen is not only Young Master Yu, but also the deputy leader of Jiangzuo League, Luosha. He occupies two rankings on the Langya List, which makes him the number one person in the world.

Zhou Chen said: "I also didn't expect that there would be such a day, just like I didn't expect that I would be stabbed in the back by my own people."

Xiao Jingyan's face darkened. He also didn't expect that looking at the current appearance of Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen, he could also imagine the pain they had suffered over the years.

Although Zhou Chen was a Wuchenghou before the accident, his relationship with Xiao Jingyan was far inferior to that between Lin Shu and Xiao Jingyan, or even inferior to that between Xiao Jingyan and Nie Feng.

"General Nie Feng is in this state now. Is there really no way he can recover?"

Xia Dong shook his head and said, "Unless he is completely detoxified like Xiao Shu and Xiao Chen, but I still prefer Brother Feng the way he is now. At least he can accompany me for a few more years like this."

Only those who have lost something know the pain of loss. Compared to Nie Feng's current condition, the days without Nie Feng are the most painful.

What's more, although Nie Feng cannot speak normally now, more than a year has passed, and Xia Dong can fully understand some of his expressions, so the inability to speak normally does not affect their normal communication as a couple.

Xiao Jingyan didn't know how to persuade him, he had never heard of the fire and cold poison before, but looking at Xiao Shu in the past and his current appearance, he knew how terrible this strange poison was.

That night, everyone chatted for a long time. When it was almost dawn, everyone left, but Zhou Chen did not leave.

"Aren't you going to tell him your true thoughts?" Zhou Chen suddenly asked.

Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to overturn the verdict and help the Crown Prince to reorganize the government, but you haven't thought about restoring your identity because you don't want the world to misunderstand the Crown Prince because of your identity. Are you planning to continue living as Mei Changsu until you die even if the verdict is overturned?"

Mei Changsu chuckled: "Xiaochen, you really do understand me best. You are right. This was my original plan and idea, but you broke it."

"Is that why I gave Xiaobao to you?"

"That's right. I was originally just a ghost lingering on. But you adopted Xiaobao to me, giving me something to rely on in this world. My previous thoughts are no longer sustainable."

Mei Changsu smiled freely, without any sign of disappointment on his face, but rather he looked very happy.

"But I prefer my current thoughts. My personal honor and disgrace are not important. Father and mother would definitely prefer me to live and pass on the Lin family. I can not think about myself, but I can not ignore Xiaobao. Let me be selfish this time and pave the way for Xiaobao."

He has a deeper relationship with Zhou Chen, but Xiaobao Lin Xin is different to him. For him, apart from overturning the verdict, Xiaobao is the person he cannot give up the most, and it is also the belief that he strives to uphold and wants to live on even if it means lingering on.

He knew that he would not live long, but as long as he could live for one more day and watch Xiaobao grow up day by day, he felt that no matter how much pain he had to endure, it would be worth it.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

Especially for someone like Mei Changsu, who is the only one left in such a big family, Xiao Bao Lin Xin is really his life-saving medicine.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It seems that I have accomplished something great by accident."

Mei Changsu snorted, "Don't pretend in front of me. You can see my thoughts, so I guess this is also part of your calculations. But your conspiracy has succeeded, and I can't escape it at all. People say that I play with people's hearts, but I am played in your hands."

"That's an exaggeration. When it comes to using tricks, I'm far worse than you."

These were Zhou Chen's sincere words. Although he had lived for hundreds of years, when it came to scheming and strategizing, he was no match for Mei Changsu.

It cannot be said that he cannot beat him, but when it comes to calculating people's hearts, he really does not have the patience of Mei Changsu. He prefers to suppress others by force.

…………

In less than a month, the news of Xie Yu's death in Qianzhou had reached the capital. However, because Xie Yu had disappeared for a long time, his death did not cause much commotion in the capital.

Only some people who cared about him paid special attention to him, especially Princess Li Yang of the Princess's Mansion, and Xie Yu's children, Xie Bi and Xie Qi.

After learning about this, Xie Bi decided to go to Qianzhou in person to bring back the body of his father Xie Yu, and he also got the permission of Emperor Liang.

At the gate of Jinling city.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Yan Yujin stood on tiptoe, looked left and right, but didn't see anyone, so he complained anxiously.

Zhou Chen said leisurely: "Yujin, there's no point in worrying. Since Jingrui said he would come back today, he will definitely come back."

Yan Yujin nodded and said, "Yes, Jing Rui always keeps his word. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Jing Rui for almost a year. I don't know if he has changed or how much he has changed. Jing Rui is really something. When he left, he said he would be back soon, but I didn't expect him to stay for such a long time. When he comes back, I have to talk to him about whether he still remembers us, his good friends."

Zhou Chen found it funny listening to Yan Yujin's mumbling. Yan Yujin was not young anymore, but his personality was still the same as it was more than a year ago. There was really no pressure at all to get along with him, and there was no need to be on guard at all.

It turns out that today is the day Xiao Jingrui returns to Jinling.

It has been almost a year since Xiao Jingrui left the capital. After staying in Nanchu for a long time, he finally decided to return to Jinling and even wrote a letter before coming back.

Knowing that Xiao Jingrui was coming back today, Yan Yujin went to Zhou Chen's residence early in the morning and took Zhou Chen and Xie Bi to the city gate to welcome Xiao Jingrui.

After waiting for about an hour, they finally saw Xiao Jingrui.

As soon as he saw Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin shouted excitedly.

"Jingrui, here, Jingrui, I'm here."

In fact, Xiao Jingrui saw Yan Yujin and Zhou Chen from a distance. After hearing Yan Yujin's shouting, he rushed over at full speed.

"Yujin, Brother Yu, why are you here?"

Yan Yujin rolled his eyes and punched Xiao Jingrui in the chest.

"Of course I came to pick you up. You've been gone for a year, I thought you wouldn't come back."

Xiao Jingrui smiled and said, "Is it because no one played with you during the time I was away, so you missed me so much?"

"whispering sound.",

Yan Yujin snorted disdainfully, "I have a lot of friends. I was so carefree during your absence. I was afraid that no one would pick you up when you came back, and you would feel uncomfortable. That's why I asked Brother Yu to come here early in the morning. Otherwise, who do you think would be willing to pick you up?"

Hearing these familiar insulting words from his friend, Xiao Jingrui's smile widened. Having been away for nearly a year, he really missed everything about Jinling.

"Brother Yu, I'm so sorry for bothering you to come pick me up in person."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "We are friends. It's too formal to say this. Really, Jing Rui, I'm really happy to see you back."

"I'm really happy to meet Brother Yu. When I was in Nanchu, I heard a lot of people talking about Brother Yu. I just learned that Brother Yu left a great reputation in Nanchu back then."

Xiao Jingyan admired sincerely. During the few months in Nanchu, he also moved around in the martial arts world and heard many people mention Zhou Chen.

"They are just empty names, not worth mentioning. Jingrui, you will not leave now that you are back, right?"

"I'm not leaving. Nan Chu's matter is basically settled. There's no need to go back."

In fact, Xiao Jingrui didn't have much to remember about Nanchu. His biological father was gone, and although he still had a younger sister, to be honest, he really had no feelings for this sister who suddenly appeared.

In comparison, Jinling City is his home, where his mother, brothers and sisters, and so many relatives and friends are.

Zhou Chen and Yan Yujin accompanied Xiao Jingrui to the Princess's Mansion before leaving. Before leaving, Xiao Jingrui said that he would visit them soon and they would reminisce about the past.

For Zhou Chen, Xiao Jingrui’s return is more than just the return of a good friend.

He knew very well what kind of person Princess Li Yang was. Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan alone were not enough to convince this woman to launch a charge at Emperor Liang's birthday banquet.

Princess Li Yang's weakness is Xiao Jingrui. Apart from Xiao Jingrui, even Xie Bi and Xie Qi would probably find it difficult to convince her.

Therefore, Xiao Jingrui's return was just in time. He didn't even need to speak to Xiao Jingrui. With Xiao Jingrui's temperament, as long as Xiao Jingrui knew about Xie Yu's crimes and the injustice of Chiyan case that year, he would probably not be able to help himself.

At that time, as long as Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan mentioned it briefly, Xiao Jingrui would definitely convince Princess Li Yang.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 868: Change of plan, revealing the truth

Because Xin Xiajiang is dead, his spies are leaderless and naturally will not try to assassinate Princess Li Yang again.

Xie Yu died, but no one assassinated him, and Princess Li Yang never thought of opening the handwritten letter left by Xie Yu to check.

Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, who knew this clearly, began to make preparations.

"No, if you do it yourself, it will be easy to be exposed. I will find someone else to do it."

When Mei Changsu heard that Zhou Chen was going to pretend to assassinate Princess Li Yang, his first reaction was to disagree, saying that other methods could be used to achieve the goal.

But Zhou Chen said that this was the quickest and most convenient method, and it was just a pretend assassination, not a real assassination, so nothing would go wrong.

Taking his own plans into consideration and the fact that Emperor Liang's birthday was getting closer, he had to choose someone to lead the group as soon as possible, so Mei Changsu finally had no choice but to agree.

But when he heard that Zhou Chen was going to take action himself, he flatly refused, even though he knew that Zhou Chen was very skilled in martial arts and it was basically impossible for anything to go wrong.

But Zhou Chen has been in the capital for such a long time, it would be quite troublesome if he was recognized by someone accidentally.

Zhou Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, if I don't want to be exposed, I won't be recognized."

Mei Changsu insisted, "No, you must listen to me on this matter. You are not needed to assassinate the person. I will arrange it. That's it."

Seeing Mei Changsu's firm attitude, Zhou Chen sighed and did not insist any further.

Mei Changsu frowned again and said, "But you also know Princess Li Yang's character. She knows the current ruler very well. It may not be easy to get her to take the lead, so I have prepared a way out. If it really doesn't work, I will go find Lord Yan. He will definitely not hesitate at all."

Not everyone can overturn the case. Princess Li Yang is Xie Yu's wife and has a high enough status. It is definitely the best choice for her to file the first lawsuit on behalf of Xie Yu.

But Mei Changsu was also prepared to be rejected by Princess Li Yang. If Princess Li Yang refused, he would go to find Marquis Yan. He believed that Marquis Yan would never hesitate.

Zhou Chen said: "Or, let me go and tell Jing Rui, Princess Li Yang cares about Jing Rui the most."

"Jing Rui."

Hearing this name, Mei Changsu showed a guilty look on his face. He shook his head gently and said, "No, I already owe Jing Rui a lot. I can't hurt him anymore."
