Episode 26
Meng Zhi saw something strange and asked the reason.It turns out that there is a place name in "Xiang Di Ji" that is the same as Mei Changsu's mother's maiden name. In order to avoid taboos since childhood, Mei Changsu would reduce the number of strokes when writing, which has become a habit.He was worried that Prince Jing would discover traces of Lin Shu's past from the annotations, but he was relieved after thinking that Prince Jing could not possibly know his mother's maiden name.
The Nanchu delegation left Beijing, and Nian Nian stayed in the capital alone.She begged Princess Liyang to let her take her brother Xiao Jingrui to Nanchu to meet his father.Li Yang sincerely told Niannian: Jing Rui is kind-hearted by nature, and he cares most about love.Although he looked calm on the outside, he must have been grieving deeply inside. I wanted to be by his side when he was in such pain.
Qin Banruo took his fourth sister to sit in the restaurant. From the window, he could see the back door of Su's house.At this time, Tong Lu entered Su's house again under the pretext of delivering food to deliver news.Qin Banruo pointed at Tong Lu and asked the fourth sister to attack the man.She verified that several of the eyeliners that had been removed were related to Tong Lu, so she suspected that the downfall of Hong Xiuzhao must be related to the Su family. Moreover, under the premise that Mei Changsu had repeatedly made meritorious deeds, King Yu lost his troops and lost his generals.It was not as good as before, which made her full of doubts.
Jingrui finally decided to follow Yuwen Nian back to Dachu, but Yan Yujin flew over to dissuade him. He was relieved to learn that Jingrui was not gone forever.Yujin is optimistic and free-spirited, and with his comfort, Jingrui feels a little relaxed.At this time, Mei Changsu was already waiting at Changting to see him off.Jingrui, who once regarded Mei Changsu as a mentor and helpful friend, said frankly: He was sad, but he did not hate Mei Changsu.People always have choices and will choose what they think is important. He can't force Mei Changsu to value this friendship as much as he does.Mei Changsu lamented his tolerance and asked him to always maintain this innocent heart.Jingrui left, and Mei Changsu ordered Zhu Chen to follow him secretly to ensure his safety in Dachu.
Because the period of national mourning had not passed, Emperor Liang's birthday was kept simple.When Emperor Liang saw that King Jing had given him his favorite bow and arrow, it showed that he was sincere and happy in his heart. However, he did not say anything about it. He just praised in public that the Taihu Shoushan stone given by the king was the most satisfactory.At the birthday banquet in the inner palace, Concubine Yue's frail, pale and haggard face evoked the past friendship between Emperor Liang and her intention to regain his favor.
The next day, Emperor Liang felt unwell. The princes all went to the palace to pay their respects. King Jing then went to see his mother and concubine.During the chat, he accidentally mentioned the Xiang Di Ji he borrowed from Mei Changsu. Concubine Jing was very interested and asked Prince Jing to bring it to him next time.
The fourth sister pretended to be unconscious on the roadside, and her aunt Qiu Mama, who came to look for her relatives, happened to live next door to Tong Lu's house.Everyone asked Tong Lu, who was passing by, to take her there.
When Emperor Liang recovered from his illness, he proposed to go to the East Palace to enjoy the osmanthus, hoping to appease the prince.He ordered Gao Zhan to make arrangements privately without notifying the prince first.When the group arrived at the East Palace, the servant who went to report to the prince was in a panic, which made Emperor Liang suspicious. He immediately stopped the servant and went to report the news.
