Chapter 852: King Yu becomes suspicious, Qin Banruo uses tricks, and beauty Juan Niang
Another month passed in a flash, and the time came to June, and the uproarious incident of Ning Guohou Xie Yu finally came to an end.
Under Mei Changsu's manipulation, Xie Yu finally collapsed, Xia Jiang no longer trusted Xie Yu, and finally Xie Yu was exiled, as of today.
Outside the city of Jinling, Xie Yu was wearing handcuffs, shackles and coarse linen clothes. He no longer had the high spirits and aloofness of the past, leaving only loneliness and vicissitudes of life.
He is no longer the powerful and powerful Ning Guohou in Jinling City. Now he is just an exile that no one cares about.
Except for his two sons and his wife, Princess Weiyang, there was no one else to see him off.
Mei Changsu promised to save Xie Yu's life, and Xie Yu kept his promise and wrote down his evidence of guilt to Princess Yang in order to save his own life.
For him now, he will trust whoever can help him save his life. He has no hope for his former accomplice Xia Jiang.
After finishing all this, Xie Yu was about to be escorted away by the government officials, but at this time, Xia Dong suddenly walked out.
After Xie Yu's guilt was determined, Xia Jiang released Xia Dong from confinement, but he didn't know that Xia Dong had already known about his conspiracy with Xie Yu.
Xia Dong is also an experienced actor now. Even when facing the scheming Xia Jiang, she can still treat him normally.
When Xie Yu saw Xia Dong, he was frightened out of his wits. He was afraid because there was something evil in his heart.
In the end, it was Xiao Jingrui who came forward and asked Xia Dong to show his favor. He didn't know why Xia Dong came to Xie Yu. He thought that Xia Dong came to take revenge because of the conflict at the Ningguo Hou Mansion that night.
Xie Yu is no longer the Marquis of Ning Guo. If Xia Dong is really desperate and murderous, it is really possible to kill Xie Yu.
Of course Xia Dong won't be hot-headed. Xie Yu has already been defeated and is not far from death. There is no need for her to vent her anger on him.
After all, Xie Yu can die, but he must not die just after leaving the capital.
Xia Dong warned and threatened Xie Yu, scaring Xie Yu so much that he left a psychological shadow, and then left.
Although it was only two months, Xie Yu at this time was no longer the Xie Yu he was before April 12. With two months of prison life and a change in status, his mentality had undergone tremendous changes.
He knows that he has no future and almost no ambition to rise again. Now his biggest wish is to keep himself alive. Only by living can he have hope.
More importantly, he wanted to do it for his children, so he could not die, let alone run away, otherwise he would not only harm himself, but also his children.
An exiled prisoner is equivalent to having no household registration, and is equivalent to a hard-working slave. Without household registration and roadmap to prove his identity, even if he escapes from exile, it will be difficult for him to live in this world.
Unless he hides in the deep mountains and old forests, becomes a bandit, or lives in hiding for the rest of his life.
But compared to living such a depressing life and possibly affecting his children, he still felt that being exiled was the best outcome.
On a mound outside the city, Zhou Chen stood there and watched from a distance. Xia Dong came over after threatening Xie Yu.
"Xiao Chen, looking at you, you seem to want to go over and beat Xie Yu?"
Zhou Chen said: "Not only did I want to fight him, I also wanted to kill him. If it weren't for him and Xia Jiang, I wouldn't have been so miserable in those years. But even though I feel unhappy, I can't disrupt Xiao Shu's plan."
Xia Dong sighed: "Xiao Shu has become too deep now. In fact, I still like him better than you were before. You didn't have a strong sense of existence before and were thin and weak. But now you have become much more bold and arrogant, just like before."
It’s like a little special one.”
"The way you put it, it's as if he and I have switched personalities."
"It's not an exchange, you two are still very different. You are more like a Jianghu person now, with a stubbornness that takes pleasure in grudges. On the contrary, I really like you as you are now. Xiao Shu is too lacking in vitality now.
"
Although Xia Dong is a woman, she has a bold personality, not like a high-ranking official, but more like a Jianghu person, so she appreciates Zhou Chen's approach.
"But this is the capital. To achieve the goal, Xiao Shu's plan is indeed better. You have been with him for more than ten years and you must know him better than me. He still has the same ambition as before. He came to the capital for revenge.
It’s also for Daliang’s future, right?”
Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up: "Sister Dong is Sister Dong, she is really good at judging people, I admire her."
Xia Dong rolled his eyes: "Forget it, I think you are more cunning than Xiao Shu now. No wonder Nihuang falls in love with you."
Zhou Chen showed a wry smile: "Sister Dong, can we not take care of this matter? You make me very embarrassed, okay?"
"Huh, you still know how embarrassing it is? Nihuang is the only one who is embarrassed. You know that Nihuang is Xiaoshu's fiancée, but you still provoke her. If Nihuang and Xiaoshu hadn't excused you, I would have really wanted to fight you.
You have a meal."
Although Xia Dong angrily reprimanded Zhou Chen, she was actually not too angry because she also understood the ins and outs and knew that Zhou Chen could not be blamed for this matter. Zhou Chen's subsequent actions were already very good.
It's just that Nihuang is her close friend, and now that Mu Nihuang is in this situation, she feels bad for Mu Nihuang, so she feels resentful in her heart.
Zhou Chen didn't want to talk anymore, so he quickly found a reason to escape.
"Sister Dong, I have to go to treat the Queen Mother, so I'll leave first."
Xie Yu's downfall caused the prince to lose his greatest strength, so he was no longer polite to King Yu in the court. He was always quarreling with each other, and King Yu did not tolerate him. During this time, the two of them were in trouble.
Open business.
Emperor Liang, who was already elderly, was so angry with these two that his head was spinning. It happened that Concubine Jing knew that her son, Prince Jing, wanted to fight for the throne, so she started her own methods.
Emperor Liang was very dissatisfied with the quarrel between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, which naturally involved the Queen and Concubine Yue, which also made him not want to go to their palaces.
It was at this time that Jingbin seized the opportunity and allowed Emperor Liang to enjoy an unprecedented peace of mind with her, which made Emperor Liang much more diligent when he came to her place.
Concubine Jing's rank was indeed very high, which greatly changed Emperor Liang's view of Prince Jing. Emperor Liang was so happy that he even handed over the patrol camp to Prince Jing for control.
After King Yu heard the news, he was so angry that he lost control. He got rid of Xie Yu just to bring the patrol camp under his command. However, he failed to succeed. Although the prince did not get it, he did not succeed either.
It’s so cheap for King Jing.
Prince Jing, who he had never paid attention to before, suddenly stood up, which made his mentality immediately unbalanced.
He specifically found Mei Changsu and asked him to find a way. Although Mei Changsu relied on his sharp tongue to try his best to neutralize the threat of Prince Jing, Prince Yu was not a fool. He was still more or less
I realized something was wrong and was ready to speed up my pace.
Mei Changsu was also keenly aware of King Yu's attitude, so he did not become overconfident and directly approached Zhou Chen for discussion.
"Prince Yu has already become suspicious of Jingyan, but now that the prince is in front of him, he has not made any move towards Jingyan, but I think it will be a matter of time."
Zhou Chen asked: "So what you mean is that when King Yu attacks the prince, we will also help King Jing deal with King Yu?"
Mei Changsu said: "I don't have much power in the court. It's difficult to target King Yu, but we can cut off King Yu's arm."
"You mean, Qin Banruo?"
"Yes, Qin Banruo is the current spy leader of the Hua tribe. Even we don't know how many ministers' mansions he has ambushed spies, but we can investigate slowly; Qin Banruo has been arrested because of your assassination.
We destroyed some of our manpower, and not long ago, Mr. Thirteen discovered some hidden lines, and eliminated those hidden lines. As long as we eliminate some more, her power will be even weaker."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me. Recently, apart from treating my great-grandma, I have been following Qin Banruo the rest of the time."
"I can rest assured that you are there."
Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't want to trouble Zhou Chen too much, but now he had many people under his command, but few were good at tracking.
As the secret agent leader of the Hua tribe, Qin Banruo is already very good at hiding, and they have a special method of contacting them, so having Zhou Chen, who is extremely skilled and has great dexterity skills, to follow them is the safest choice.
"How is great-grandma's condition now?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's not bad. Now I can have two or three hours of waking time every day. Sometimes I can go out for a walk, but I'm still lost in the lake and can't recognize people. But every time I see you, I'm very happy."
, pulled me and kept calling me Xiaochen. Fortunately, I am relatively low-key, so no one would suspect me."
Mei Changsu said cautiously: "You still have to be careful. We are all happy if Grandma is happy, but you still can't expose your identity."
"Don't worry, not many people in the palace know about me. The Queen, Yue Guifei and other concubines who have stayed in the palace for many years no longer go to the palace of the Empress Dowager. They are all busy fighting, so they are still safe."
After discussing with Mei Changsu, Zhou Chen left the Su Mansion.
Now he has many things to do, and he has to treat the Queen Mother. He has to go back and forth for most of the day, and he has to accompany Gong Yu. Now he has to monitor and deal with Qin Banruo, so he doesn't have much time to practice now.
.
Especially since he has perfected the Chunyang Jue, the next step is to go his own way. Without a lot of time for him to comprehend and introduce new things, it will be difficult to make further progress.
But fortunately, his current strength is enough. Even Meng Zhi is not his opponent. Now the only person who can rival him in the world is Dayu Xuanbu.
For several days, Zhou Chen followed Qin Banruo and monitored her. On this day, she finally took action.
Zhou Chen followed her to a small town on the outskirts of the capital, and then Qin Banruo walked into a small restaurant.
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, making some guesses in his mind, and used Qinggong to sneak into the backyard of the restaurant.
Sure enough, after Qin Banruo entered the backyard, he saw a woman. Zhou Chen didn't get too close and just watched from a distance.
However, he had already guessed in his mind that the woman Qin Banruo was looking for should be Juan Niang, who had been ranked in the top three on the list of top ten beauties.
Qin Banruo came to see Juan Niang, and it seemed that he was planning to target Mei Changsu just like in the TV series.
Qin Banruo was not an idiot. She was aware of the problem and guessed that Mei Changsu might be targeting her. She also guessed that Mei Changsu didn't seem to fully support King Yu.
But she never thought about asking King Yu to help, because she knew King Yu. If King Yu knew her identity and all the hidden clues, he would not believe her at all due to his suspicious character, and he might not even let her go with him.
Mei Changsu fights.
But of course she wouldn't give in. If she wanted to stir up trouble in the Liang Dynasty, she had to rely on Prince Yu, so she was ready to find Mei Changsu's tricks. As long as she knew that Mei Changsu's intentions were impure, she would be able to give Mei Changsu the greatest advantage.
blow.
Zhou Chen waited for Qin Banruo to leave, and then observed Juan Niang for a while. Although she didn't get close, from a distance, Juan Niang looked absolutely beautiful.
Arriving at the Su Mansion, Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu about today's harvest.
"You mean, the woman Qin Banruo is looking for is also from the Hua tribe?"
Mei Changsu was very surprised. He didn't know about this, and he didn't expect that Qin Banruo had such a person under his command.
"But how do you know this woman's name is Juan Niang?"
According to Zhou Chen, Juan Niang was one of the top ten beauties of the year. She was really famous at the time, but after she disappeared, not many people remembered her anymore; and when Juan Niang was on the list, she was not called
this name.
"Yes, I saw that the two of them had been talking for a long time, which means they must have known each other for many years. You know who Qin Banruo is, so this woman must be the same as her. As for her name, I found out about it afterwards.
, and based on observation and the character Juan in Juan Niang, I guessed the identity of this woman."
Mei Changsu naturally believed deeply in Zhou Chen and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Juan was once ranked among the top ten beauties. Is Qin Banruo trying to use a beauty trap to find this girl?"
"right."
"That's quite interesting."
Mei Changsu smiled: "I'm very confused, who does he want to use a honey trap on? You? Or me?"
"What do you think?"
"She can definitely guess that our relationship is unusual. By investigating you, she may also get information about me, but I don't think she is that stupid and won't look for you, let alone me."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Why can't it be me? You know my reputation in the world is very romantic."
Mei Changsu said: "If she doesn't even have this level, how can she survive in this capital for so long? From the look on your face, I must have guessed who it is?"
"Tonglu."
"Tonglu?"
Mei Changsu's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "Tong Lu was exposed?"
Zhou Chen said: "You also said that Qin Banruo is not that stupid. Tong Lu often delivers food to the Su Mansion. If she has spies around the Su Mansion, how could she not notice Tong Lu?"
"Too careless."
Mei Changsu's face was heavy. After being reminded by Zhou Chen, he also reacted.
In fact, he trusted Tong Lu very much, because Tong Lu was not only loyal, but also had his old mother in the Jiangzuo League. Under normal circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for Tong Lu to rebel.
However, not everyone in the world has the determination to be a beauty. Tong Lu is also a man. If Qin Banruo and Juan Niang take the right medicine, it is really possible for them to rebel against Tong Lu.
However, Mei Changsu quickly regained his composure. Zhou Chen chuckled and asked, "Do you have any countermeasures?"
Mei Changsu said: "Without your reminder, it might have caused a big problem, but after your reminder, it would be stupid for me not to think of any countermeasures."
"So, are you going to take advantage of the situation?"
"As expected of you, you guessed what I was thinking right away. Yes, you will use the trick. Doesn't Qin Banruo want to investigate me? Then I will give her a big gift."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Now that you have a countermeasure, I'm relieved. I won't need to continue to monitor Qin Banrui, right?"
"Now that we know her purpose, there is no need to monitor her. She will not come forward personally on the hidden line. It is enough for Mr. Thirteen to keep an eye on the people Hong Xiu recruits."
Mei Changsu made a decision, and then said: "What I want to do now is how to expose the prince's flaws and make the emperor completely give up on him. This is not an easy thing to do."
Zhou Chen remembered that the prince was deposed in the plot. It seemed that during the funeral of the Empress Dowager, she drank and had fun, and used her drunkenness to vent her dissatisfaction with Emperor Liang. This was why Emperor Liang was completely disappointed and angrily deposed the prince.
.
But now that the Empress Dowager is still alive under his treatment, naturally there will be no incident of the Prince's debauchery.
"You don't have to worry. The prince has such a character. Without Xie Yu to help him, as long as Prince Yu keeps targeting him, sooner or later he will mess up the stitches and expose his flaws."
"Having said that, King Ke Yu has already become suspicious of me. I guess I won't be able to hide it for much longer. There is also Xia Jiang. I haven't thought of a specific way to deal with him yet."
Mei Changsu frowned. There were many things that needed to be planned by him, and he was constantly worried.
