"Today I took my father to the Yamen and served as a witness."

"This matter should have been finalized."

"That's very good!" Mei Changsu was quite satisfied with the result and nodded with a smile.

"Then what are your plans next?" Xiao Jingyang asked after eating a piece of orange.

"Next..." Mei Changsu looked thoughtful, holding the blanket with his left hand and rubbing it vigorously.

Xiao Jingyang just ate the orange without interrupting.

[The following case of the murder of an internal prisoner, I’d better remind Commander Meng!]

[For those who celebrate the New Year, let him also have a good New Year. 】

Xiao Jingyang was thinking about what might happen on New Year's Eve in the future.

On New Year's Eve, Xie Yu will ask Zhuo Dingfeng of Tianquan Villa to randomly select a group of internal prisoners who will go to each mansion to enjoy food, and rob and kill them at the gate of the city.

The main purpose was to make the emperor disappointed with the Mongolian commander, at least to sow the seeds of disappointment in the emperor's heart in the future.

Let the emperor no longer believe that Meng Zhi has 100% ability to protect this palace.

If he tried to find a way to make Meng Zhi make some mistakes later, the emperor might deprive Meng Zhi of his position as commander in a fit of anger.

At that time, Xie Yu is the only one in the entire Jinling City who is capable of taking over this position.

At that time, the entire palace will be under the control of the prince.

If something goes wrong later and the prince wants to rebel, Xie Yu can immediately use the imperial army to block the entire capital and force the palace to take over.

[On New Year’s Eve, my father and I should both be in the palace. We can’t go out to help. We can only rely on Meng Zhi’s own arrangements. 】

Prince Ji is the emperor's biological brother, and he has the strongest blood relationship among his peers, so he is naturally extremely noble.

On New Year's Eve, one should also attend the annual banquet in the Xian'an Palace as a royal family. As Xiao Jingyang, as the legitimate son of Prince Ji and the enfeoffed crown prince of Prince Ji, is also the future Prince Ji, he is also eligible to attend the annual banquet.

So every year on New Year's Eve, the two of them would attend the New Year's banquet at the palace and then go home to celebrate the New Year with the princess.

The princess is neither a blood relative nor a woman, so naturally she cannot participate in it.

The women who can attend the annual banquet are basically the emperor's women.

Not even the Empress Dowager.

"April 12 is Jingrui's birthday." Mei Changsu thought for a long time and finally sighed slowly, shook his head, and finally said it.

If there were other good opportunities, Mei Changsu would never choose Xiao Jingrui's birthday to attack Xie Yu and ruin their family.

Xiao Jingrui is an open-minded person with a kind-hearted nature. He behaves like a gentleman in everything he does. His character is informal and he treats others very sincerely.

In this dirty age, such elegant and noble children are rare.

Mei Changsu really couldn't bear to give him such a big shock on his birthday.

But... Xie Yu must pay the price for what he did.

Hardness finally defeated softness. Mei Changsu's eyes became sharper and sharper as he looked at the burning charcoal fire.

"On April 12th, I'm going to attack Xie Yu."

"What do you need me to do?" Xiao Jingyang's expression also became serious. He planned to listen to Mei Changsu's thoughts on this matter.

"Has your martial arts recovered?" Mei Changsu was still a little worried that the instilled skills that day would cause harm to Xiao Jingyang.

"I have recovered a long time ago." Xiao Jingyang patted his chest.

"That's good! You will need to protect two people then." Mei Changsu said with a frown.

"who?"

"Jing Rui and Xie Qi." Mei Changsu's eyes softened after mentioning these two names.

"Ah?" Xiao Jingyang was stunned. He originally thought he was asked to protect the eldest princess or Zhuo Dingfeng's family.

Xie Qinai is the youngest sister among the three children of the Xie family. She married Zhuo Qingyao, the eldest son of Tianquan Villa, two years ago.

It is precisely for this reason that the Xie family and the Zhuo family have completely become one family.

Now Xie Qi is even pregnant and will give birth in late April or early May at most.

"After all, these two children got involved for no reason. They have never participated in the struggle for the party." Mei Changsu said with a sigh: "They are two simple and kind-hearted good children. It's a pity that they were born into the wrong families."

"So try to save the lives of both of them, especially Xie Qi. This child is now pregnant with Liujia. The situation will definitely be very chaotic. If something goes wrong, the child in her belly and even herself may die.

."

"You must pay attention to her then."

"Okay!" Xiao Jingyang nodded and agreed.

"I will definitely protect both of them when the time comes."

"That's good!" Mei Changsu nodded, picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

Mei Changsu was aware of Xiao Jingyang's martial arts skills, so putting the lives of those two people in Xiao Jingyang's hands was a certain guarantee.

After Mei Changsu said this, he stopped talking. Unknowingly, the situation became a bit awkward.

Although their friendship is still there, they are still different from what they were back then.

Xiao Jingyang didn't know whether he should leave now, he was a little bored.

I picked up an orange, peeled it off, and took another bite.

"Hiss..." Xiao Jingyang frowned slightly.

The astringency in this orange is much more serious, which has affected the overall sweetness of the orange.

He put the orange to his nose and smelled it carefully. Sure enough, he could smell the slightest smell of gunpowder.

Presumably the orange must have been placed very close to the gunpowder, and the smell was still tainted with it after all.

"What's wrong?" Mei Changsu asked with some confusion when he saw Xiao Jingyang's frown.

"It seems to smell like gunpowder." Xiao Jingyang said lightly and threw the orange into the stove nearby.

"The smell of gunpowder?" Mei Changsu's expression turned serious.

"Well! The New Year is coming soon, and in four days there will be the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony before New Year's Eve. At this time, the only thing that will be covered up with fruits by the official ship is Black Fire." Xiao Jingyang analyzed all this with a serious expression. After all, Black Fire

Fire is still a serious matter.

Xiao Jingyang's reminder was enough. After a while, Mei Changsu would naturally connect Black Fire with the fact that Yan Yujin's father, Lord Yan, bought so many fruits.

Finally, it is connected with the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony and what happened more than ten years ago.

You will understand the truth of the whole matter.

So you don’t have to worry about the next thing.

Mei Changsu will handle it himself, and will also use this matter to sell the Yan family a favor.

The Yan family's favor is also very important.

[By the way! Calculating according to time, the court ceremony should be held in these two days. 】

Xiao Jingyang remembered that before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, there would be a discussion of court etiquette in the court hall.

This time, he will directly depose the Minister of Rites.

But the most important thing is that Mei Changsu will be recognized by Princess Nihuang after this time.

This is a good opportunity for gossip.

[You still have to watch famous scenes. When the time comes, the two of them hug each other and cry bitterly. Oh, I really can’t stand it.]

"Hahaha!" Xiao Jingyang couldn't help but smile when he thought about what would happen next.
Chapter completed!
