Chapter 31 Misunderstanding(1/2)
When Jamel Xiao came to the door of Xie's Mansion, he was informed that the person who came out to greet him was Xie Bi. When he met, he said: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is here in person? Please come in quickly. Brother Su is at Xuelu."
Prince Jing was slightly startled and asked, "What? Mr. Su knows that I am coming?"
"That's not true," Xie Bi said with a smile, "Brother Su just said hello to me and said that His Highness Prince Jing would take in the three children who had just been released from Yeyouting and prepare to train them into personal guards in the future.
So someone will be sent to pick them up soon. I just didn’t expect His Highness to come in person."
Prince Jing said "Oh" and followed his words: "I am very interested in the swordsmanship taught by Mr. Su. I mainly want to come and ask for advice and take them back by the way."
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing has outstanding military exploits. Of course he will be interested in martial arts, but not like me. I don't have that talent." Xie Bi said as he led the way. The two came to the door of Xuelu.
Liu soon appeared in front of them, looking at them coldly, his eyes like ice needles, which made Xie Bi very uncomfortable.
"Come in!" the young man said stiffly.
Xie Bi forced a smile and said to Prince Jing: "Brother Su is very quiet during his illness. I won't go in and bother him. Your Highness, please help yourself."
Prince Jing originally did not want anyone to accompany him, so he nodded and walked into the small courtyard. Mei Changsu was already waiting in front of the steps. Except for the three children lined up behind him, there was no one else.
"I have met Your Highness." Mei Changsu bowed to him as a subordinate, and Tingsheng and others also bowed down.
"There is no need to be too polite." Prince Jing said lukewarmly, "My carriage is parked outside the palace gate and I asked my three children to wait for me in the carriage."
Upon hearing this meaning, Mei Changsu immediately understood that Prince Jing wanted to speak alone, so he ordered Fei Liu to call a servant of the Xie family to lead the court students and others out first. Then he turned around and invited Prince Jing to come into the room and serve tea himself.
"Princess Nihuang was almost humiliated today, did you know?" Prince Jing seemed to have not noticed Mei Changsu's gesture to invite him to take a seat, and still stood with his hands behind his back, asking coldly.
"Didn't I already rescue An Ran?"
"As long as I'm a step too late, the princess will be taken into the backyard by them. Even if I try my best, I'm afraid I won't be able to save her. Do you know that?" Prince Jing took a step forward and spoke more sternly.
Ever since he entered the Snow Cottage, Mei Changsu had noticed a suppressed anger in him. She originally thought that he was still angry at the behavior of the Yue Concubine and her son, but now it seems that he was actually directed at himself.
"Although the process was thrilling, fortunately everything was still complete. Why is Your Highness so angry?" Mei Changsu thought, her face suddenly turned slightly pale, "Could it be that the princess is embarrassed..."
"Do you really care about the princess's feelings?" Prince Jing sneered, "Reminding her to nip things in the bud is just a small favor, and you can't take the opportunity to make Concubine Yue and the prince guilty. Of course you are not satisfied. Now.
The result is so perfect, I saved my life desperately, the scene was fierce, the princess is very grateful to me, if there is a fight in the future, Yunnan Mu Mansion will naturally support me strongly. This is what you want to achieve, right?"
Mei Changsu was a little startled. He slowly rolled his eyes and said after a while: "Does Your Highness think that I deliberately concealed it from the princess so that the matter could develop step by step and seek the greatest benefit?"
"Isn't it?" Prince Jing stared into his eyes closely, "You clearly knew that things would happen in Zhaoren Palace, and you clearly had the opportunity to remind the princess beforehand, why didn't you tell her? If you have time, let her be careful about the queen, really
Don’t have time to say the word Yue Fei?”
Looking at Prince Jing's aggressive face, Mei Changsu's expression was a little wandering. He really never thought that Prince Jing would mistakenly go to that place. It shows that the human mind is indeed the most unfathomable. You will never
You can't say that you have grasped another person's thoughts, so even a father and son who were once close to each other may be eroded by rumors.
Prince Jing's anger burned even more because of Mei Changsu's dazed and cold expression. At the same time, he also regarded his silence as acquiescence to his questioning. He thought of the pain and pain on Princess Nihuang's face when she fell in front of the steps.
She was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't help but grab Mei Changsu's collar and lift him in front of her. She squeezed his upper arm tightly with her other hand, and her angry breath almost burned her.
The other person's cold skin.
"Listen, Su Zhe," Jamel Xiao's voice seemed to be squeezed out from clenched teeth, "I know that you counselors are not afraid to do the most insidious and shameless things, and I also know that you guys are...
Even the strongest person cannot resist the cold arrows. But I still want to warn you, since you recognize me as your lord, you must know my bottom line. Princess Nihuang is not someone who indulges in the struggle for power.
She is the commander-in-chief of the 100,000-strong Southern Border Army. It is she who has taken on the responsibility of soldiers to protect the country and the people. It is she who fought bloody battles on the battlefield to keep you from scheming in this prosperous capital! People like you are obsessed with fighting for power.
People don’t know what is the iron blood of a soldier and what is the battlefield. I don’t allow you to treat such people as chess pieces, manipulate them and sacrifice them at will. If you don’t even know how to respect these soldiers who fought bloody battles on the battlefield, then I, Jamel Xiao, will never
I won’t be with you! Do you understand?”
Mei Changsu's heart surged with enthusiasm, and a sad smile appeared on his lips. Don't you know what a soldier is and what a battlefield is? Maybe in that cold winter snow twelve years ago, his heart became cold and his blood...
It's also cold, but what about the things that are burned into the bone marrow? Are they also cold?
However, this question no longer requires much thought or immediate answer, because in Mei Changsu's trembling sight, Fei Liu's angry face suddenly appeared. The young man's murderous palm blade exuded a thick cold air, as if
The god of death struck directly at Prince Jing's neck like a sickle.
"Stop!" As he yelled, Mei Changsu used all his strength to knock Prince Jing to the side and moved his body forward to block.
In the middle of Fei Liu's murderous move, he suddenly saw Brother Su appearing within the range of the palm wind attack. Knowing that he could not withstand it, he was frightened and immediately retreated with all his strength, blocking his right palm with his left palm, and then
After several feet, the chill still invaded Prince Jing's side and Mei Changsu's shoulders.
Prince Jing exercised regularly, and his muscles and bones were as strong as iron. The coldness that had been weakened by the force was nothing to him, but Mei Changsu felt as if he had been stabbed by ice needles, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood surged up.
, and he swallowed it back forcefully.
"Brother Su!" Fei Liu shouted.
Mei Changsu endured the pain in his chest and abdomen, lowered his face, stood in front of Prince Jing, and said sternly: "Have you forgotten everything I told you? Don't you remember that you promised me never to hurt this person?
Is there any trace of human beings?”
"But he..." Although Fei Liu's expression was stiff, his big eyes were full of the child's grievance.
"Don't talk back!" Mei Changsu scolded, "What you can't do just can't be done! Apologize to His Highness Prince Jing!"
Fei Liu's whole body trembled slightly, he pursed his lips tightly, his handsome face tensed and twisted stubbornly to one side.
Prince Jing had no objection to people like Fei Liu. He frowned and said, "Don't force him."
"No," Mei Changsu's face was as dark as water, "He must remember this. Fei Liu, do you want to apologize?"
Fei Liu was rarely scolded so harshly by Mei Changsu. His face turned red from holding back his breath, his breath was thick and heavy, his chest was rising and falling, his teeth were clenched so hard that the muscles on both sides of his cheeks were tightened, and veins popped out on his forehead. If
If he hadn't been trained since childhood to be expressionless, he would have looked like he was about to cry.
Mei Changsu sighed, feeling soft again. He slowly stepped forward, held his face in his hands, rubbed it gently, and whispered: "Don't grit your teeth, your head will hurt..."
Fei Liu flattened his mouth, rushed forward, threw himself into his arms, and held his waist tightly with both hands.
"Okay, okay..." Mei Changsu coaxed in a vague tone, "Does Fei Liu listen to Brother Su?"
"……,listen……"
"Then go and apologize to His Highness Prince Jing."
Fei Liu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyes, glared at Prince Jing fiercely, and said firmly: "He goes first!"
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and did not understand, but Mei Changsu immediately understood what Fei Liu meant.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why does His Highness Prince Jing need to apologize to you?"
"With you!"
"You can't follow me either..."
"He hit you!"
"He didn't hit me," Mei Changsu slumped his shoulders helplessly, "He was just a little angry and came closer to me when he spoke..." "He apologized!" Fei Liu insisted.
"I will not apologize." Before Mei Changsu could speak, Prince Jing spoke unexpectedly. When he turned his head to look, Jamel Xiao's expression was still very serious. Facing Fei Liu, he also looked confused.
He didn't appear to be perfunctory and coaxing because of the other party's weak intelligence. Instead, his tone was solemn, "Everything I just said was what I wanted to say from the bottom of my heart. None of it was wrong or false. Therefore, I do not apologize. But Su Zhe
, I don’t need this little brother to apologize to me. He was just fulfilling his duty as a guard and there was nothing wrong. But I think you should apologize to Princess Nihuang."
Mei Changsu looked at him, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Does Princess Nihuang also think that I deliberately concealed the truth?"
Jamel Xiao was startled, "That's not true. She thought what you were about to say was interrupted by someone else..."
"Then why bother to apologize deliberately and make her heartbroken in vain?" Mei Changsu said calmly, "The princess has already suffered such injustice in the royal capital, do you still have to make her feel even more uncomfortable?"
Prince Jing did not expect this level and could not help but be stunned.
"I have taken your Highness Prince Jing's words to heart and will be careful in the future." Mei Changsu continued, "But I also have a few words to say to His Highness. You cannot be disgusted with all power schemes. You have to deal with people like Prince Yu and the Crown Prince.
Human beings cannot rely solely on passion. Sometimes, we have to be ruthless, dark, and spicy. If we relax even a little bit, we will be doomed. You don't understand this, right?"
Jamel Xiao frowned, but he knew that his words were true. He felt as if something was stuffed in his chest. It was difficult to describe the disgusting feeling.
Mei Changsu stared at every change in his expression, and his tone was still cold: "Your Highness will inevitably feel uncomfortable sometimes, but you must endure it. I know where your bottom line is, so I will not violate it. But I also have mine.
Your Highness may have to slowly adapt to the means and methods of doing things. You and I both have the same purpose, so for this, sacrificing a little personal feeling, what's the big deal?"
Prince Jing raised his head and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly opened his eyes and cast his bright gaze on Mei Changsu, saying: "Is this what you really think? I understand. I do too."
To tell you the truth, I no longer have any brotherly feelings towards the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. I don’t care what methods you use towards them and their henchmen."
"Your Highness is really frank. You dare to say such things to me openly."
"Since I'm cooperating with you, why bother to hide it? If you really want to harm me, just because you know Tingsheng's secret, you can stop me. Although you are sinister and sinister, you are really talented. If I don't have you by my side
What power do such people have against the Crown Prince and Prince Yu? However, there are still many honest ministers in the country and the court who have not participated in the party struggle. To them..."
"I still want to use him," Mei Changsu said coldly, "but I will do my best not to harm him."
Prince Jing looked at him steadily. After a long time, he nodded slowly and said clearly: "Just remember it."
Mei Changsu smiled slightly, knowing that today's conversation was over, he took a step back and bowed to salute. As expected, Prince Jing said no more, turned around, strode out, walked to the door, and suddenly stopped again.
Without looking back he said: "Thank you very much for saving Mr. Courtyard."
"You're welcome." Mei Changsu said lightly, "I hope Your Highness will not pity his sufferings and spoil him too much. He will be sent to the army for training so that he will know early what a man's generosity is. Don't be like me.
Full of ingenuity..."
Jamel Xiao's figure seemed to be stiff for a moment, but in the end he went straight out of the hospital without looking back.
To be continued...
