Mei Changsu noticed that Ni Huang was looking at her wrongly, and combined with Meng Zhi's guilty expression, he instantly realized that his identity had been exposed.
Because there was a young eunuch leading the way, Mei Changsu could only remain calm, slowly walked up to Nihuang and Wang Gang, bowed and said:
"Su Zhe, a common man, has met His Highness Prince Jing, Princess Nihuang, and Commander Meng."
Mei Changsu emphasized the word "Su Zhe" just to remind the three of him of his identity.
?Wang Gang and Nihuang understood each other, but Nihuang couldn't control himself. He could only hold back the tears in his eyes, turned away, and adjusted his mood.
Wang Gang turned around and said to the young eunuch who was leading the way: "Mr. Su will accompany me to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Please go back!"
After the young eunuch was ordered to leave without anyone else, Meng Zhi was the first to lose his temper.
"Xiao Shu, Prince Jing and Princess Nihuang already know your identity." Meng Zhi said eagerly.
As smart as Mei Changsu, he immediately thought of Wang Gang's pulse just now and understood the reason why Meng Zhi "betrayed" him.
"Brother Meng, let's talk about it when we get back." Mei Changsu said helplessly.
Wang Gang said to Mei Changsu: "After you and I have paid our respects to the Empress Dowager, we will go to meet our mother and concubine together."
Mei Changsu said calmly: "Today is not suitable, let's find another opportunity next time!"
"No." Wang Gang said firmly: "Your body must be shown to the mother and concubine. You can't wait for a moment."
Hearing the determination of his old friend, Mei Changsu sighed deeply and said, "This matter must be arranged properly, otherwise my identity will be easily exposed."
"Brother, what happened in Meiling back then?" Princess Nihuang asked in confusion.
"Find a place to meet tonight and I will tell you all the answers."
Mei Changsu knew that his identity could not be hidden from his old friends, but he did not expect that it would be exposed so soon.
There are some things that he hasn't decided yet how to tell his old friend.
Wang Gang frowned and said, "Come to my palace tonight."
Mei Changsu nodded in agreement, and the four of them stopped talking and walked to the harem silently. However, Princess Nihuang could not control her emotions. Wang Gang asked her to walk in front and try to keep a distance from Mei Changsu.
Arriving at the Queen Mother's palace, Wang Gang found that the Queen, Concubine Yue, and Concubine Jing were all there, and immediately whispered to Nihuang.
"Control your emotions and don't show any flaws."
When Nihuang saw the Queen and Concubine Yue, she immediately suppressed her mood, took a few deep breaths, and used her internal strength to calm herself down.
Wang Gang took the lead in greeting the Empress Dowager.
"Grandma, Jingyan is here to greet you." Wang Gang used his body to block Mei Changsu and Nihuang.
The Empress Dowager was quite old and had a kind face, and waved to Wang Gang.
"Jingyan, come to grandma quickly."
The Empress Dowager was one of the few kind-hearted people in this Daliang harem. Wang Gang also wanted to get close to her, so he came closer so that she could see clearly.
"Jingyan, you have lost weight and become stronger. I heard from your father that this time you opened up territory for Daliang and destroyed Ye Qin. Are you injured?"
Wang Gang said softly: "Grandma, I'm fine. I'm fine."
The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Good boy, good boy."
The Queen spoke at this time: "The Queen Mother, Prince Jing just asked Your Majesty to marry Princess Nihuang."
The Queen Mother was surprised and said: "Isn't Nihuang Xiaoshu's wife?"
Concubine Yue said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, you have forgotten, Xiao Shu is gone a long time ago."
The Empress Dowager said with a straight face: "Nonsense, isn't Xiao Shu standing there?"
While speaking, the Empress Dowager pointed at Mei Changsu who was behind Nihuang.
Mei Changsu trembled slightly, not because he was afraid, but because he was moved.
The Queen Mother was the only one who recognized his identity at a glance.
According to blood relationship, the Queen Mother is Mei Changsu’s mother-in-law.
"The Empress Dowager made a mistake. This is Mr. Su Zhesu, your Majesty's newly appointed royal guest, not Xiao Shu." The queen said with a smile.
The Queen Mother said doubtfully: "It's not Xiao Shu. It's impossible. You lied to me. He is obviously Xiao Shu."
With one sentence, Mei Changsu almost broke through his defense, and Nihuang couldn't help it, and her eyes turned red again.
The Queen and Concubine Yue thought that the Empress Dowager was old and confused and didn't take it seriously. However, Concubine Jing, who had a delicate heart, saw something was wrong and kept staring at Nihuang.
Wang Gang knew that if the trouble continued, Mei Changsu's identity would be revealed.
"Grandma, can you let me marry Nihuang?"
The Empress Dowager patted Wang Gang gently and said, "Why did you snatch Xiao Shu's wife? Aren't you two of the best friends?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Xiao Shu is gone, I have to take better care of Nihuang!"
Concubine Jing frowned even deeper when she heard this.
The Empress Dowager was interrupted by Wang Gang and became confused again, and her energy was not as good as before.
The Queen worriedly said: "The Queen Mother is confused again. It seems she needs to rest. Please go back after saying hello!"
Wang Gang said: "Queen, I haven't seen my mother and concubine for a long time. Can you go to Zhiluo Palace and sit for a while?"
"Perhaps I haven't seen Concubine Jing for a long time and want to eat the cakes she made." Nihuang took the opportunity to speak.
Concubine Yue said with a smile: "It's rare for Princess Nihuang to enter the palace, so you might as well come and sit at my place!"
Nihuang looked at the queen with some embarrassment.
The Queen and Concubine Yue did not deal with each other. Everyone knew that the Queen would not allow Concubine Yue to do what she wanted to do.
"Concubine Yue, the Queen Mother is tired. Send her back to the palace to rest."
The Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and she can command Concubine Yue to do things, not to mention serving the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yue cannot refuse.
Wang Gang said: "My dearest concubine, I have finally come to the palace for once. Would you like to come and sit with me too?"
Concubine Yue's expression changed, and finally she snorted secretly and helped the Empress Dowager back to the palace.
The queen agreed to Wang Gang's request and asked him to take Nihuang to Zhiluo Palace to sit there. It was not convenient for Su Zhe to stay in the harem for a long time, so the queen sent a eunuch to take him away.
After Wang Gang and Nihuang arrived at Zhiluo Palace, they immediately ordered all the maids and servants to retreat, and locked the palace door tightly to prevent anyone from approaching.
Concubine Jing saw her son acting like this and knew he had important matters to discuss, so she did not stop him.
Nihuang was impatient and couldn't help but tell Concubine Jing about Mei Changsu's identity first.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Concubine Jing was also shocked when she heard this.
"Are you sure that Mei Changsu is Xiao Shu?" Concubine Jing said in disbelief: "Mei Changsu needs to be searched when entering the harem. If he is disguised, there is no way he can hide it."
Wang Gang said in a deep voice: "When we meet in the evening, I will make sure that Commander Meng will not lie to us. We are close to Xiao Shu and it will be difficult for outsiders to hide it from us."
Concubine Jing was a little helpless at this time, worrying about gains and losses.
"Mom, do you know if there is any medicine in the world that can completely change a person's appearance?" Wang Gang asked.
Concubine Jing is a rare physician in the world, so she naturally knows the poison of fire and cold. Wang Gang only needs to remind her a little, and she will understand everything.
"Could it be the most strange poison in the world, the fire-cold poison?" Concubine Jing suddenly realized: "Xiao Shu disappeared in Meiling that year. There are snow scabies in Meiling, which can indeed produce fire-cold poison."
Wang Gang pretended to be confused and said: "What is fire-cold poison?"
Concubine Jing explained: "Snow scales only grow near Meiling and eat burned meat. At the same time, they spit out toxins to contain the fire nature with ice-cold air, allowing people to pass through fire but save their lives. This is how the fire-cold poison is formed.
The poisoned person's bones are deformed, the skin and flesh are swollen, the whole body is covered with white hair, and the base of the tongue is stiff and unable to speak. The poison attacks several times a day. During the attack, it is necessary to drink blood to calm down, and human blood is the best, although it can be tolerated.
His life is prolonged and his physical strength is the same as that of ordinary people, but this kind of torture is not cleaner than death, so it is the most strange poison in the world."
Nihuang asked: "What does the fire-cold poison have to do with my brother's change of appearance?"
Concubine Jing thought of the fire-cold poison, and naturally also thought of the solution to the fire-cold poison. She stood blankly on the spot and shed tears unconsciously.
"There are two solutions to the fire-cold poison, one is a complete solution and the other is an incomplete solution."
With tears in her eyes, Concubine Jing told Nihuang that after the fire-cold poison was completely cured, Nihuang couldn't help crying.
"To completely eliminate the fire-cold poison, the poisoned person must reshape the broken bones of the fire-cold poison. After that, he needs to stay in bed for at least more than a year for bone and muscle regeneration, which is very unbearable for people.
Moreover, although this kind of solution can restore the appearance of a normal person, it will completely transform into a different person, and he will not be able to enjoy the life span of a normal person, and he will not live past the age of forty!"
Wang Gang whispered: "I checked Mei Changsu's pulse. Judging from the pulse, it does look like someone's broken bones have been reshaped."
Princess Nihuang cried: "Brother, why did you choose this solution?"
Wang Gang sighed deeply and said: "He wants to reshape his appearance and return to Jinling to take revenge."
"I want to see Xiao Shu right away." Concubine Jing said excitedly like Nihuang: "If he is really Xiao Shu, I will find a way to cure him even if I exhaust all my medical skills."
"Mom, please calm down first." Wang Gang held Concubine Jing down and said, "As a concubine, how can you leave the palace privately? This matter requires detailed planning."
"That's Xiao Shu! How can you tell me to calm down?" Concubine Jing said anxiously.
"Precisely because he is Xiao Shu, we must be more calm. He is still carrying the name of a criminal of the imperial court. We must be cautious in our actions, otherwise not only will we not be able to help him, but we will also harm him."
Concubine Jing ignored her and said, "In the worst case, I will take Xiao Shu to live in seclusion in the mountains. I don't think I'm the right concubine."
Wang Gang's face looked a little dark.
Nihuang also noticed something was wrong with Concubine Jing at this time. His concern for Xiaoshu obviously exceeded that of his biological son.
Although Wang Gang knew the reason, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Concubine Jing admired Lin Shu's father before entering the palace, and she entered the palace to marry Emperor Liang because she took care of Lin Xie's sister.
It can be said that Prince Jing's son was an accident, and the Lin family is the true love.
"Mom, do you really think that Xiao Shu would be willing to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? He went through so much pain before returning to Jinling, how could he leave."
Concubine Jing slowly calmed down, her expression changing.
After Wang Gang comforted Concubine Jing, he and Nihuang immediately left the palace and returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.
They had just left, and Emperor Liang arrived at Zhiluo Palace. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
Concubine Jing had a very high emotional intelligence, and she adjusted her mood instantly without letting Emperor Liang see any flaws.
"Jingyan brought Nihuang to Zhiluo Palace?" Emperor Liang asked Concubine Jing with a gloomy face.
Concubine Jing said gently: "Jingyan's kid brought Nihuang here to explain the competition. Nihuang asked Jingyan to participate in the competition, defeat all opponents, and finally lose to her on purpose to avoid marrying to a foreign country."
Emperor Liang looked much better after hearing this, and snorted coldly: "Nihuang is fooling around, and that traitor is also fooling around."
Concubine Jing walked up to Emperor Liang and massaged him, while saying, "Jingyan has few friends and is very emotional. When Princess Nihuang opens her mouth, he can't bear to refuse."
Emperor Liang sighed and said, "Jingyan is too straight-tempered. He could just approach me privately for this kind of matter. He has to raise it in front of the civil and military officials of the court, so that I won't come to Taiwan."
Concubine Jing apologized: "It's all my fault that I don't teach my children well."
"Three years old and eighty years old, it's impossible to change his bastard temper." Emperor Liang touched Concubine Jing's hand and said.
Being held by Emperor Liang's hand, Concubine Jing felt extremely disgusted, but she still had to endure it.
"After the martial arts competition is over, Nanchu is going to send a princess to Daliang to get married. I plan to let Jingyan marry the princess of Nanchu. What do you think?" Emperor Liang said.
Concubine Jing said meekly: "The marriage of a child has always been the order of the parents. Jingyan will never object to the matchmaker's advice."
Emperor Liang laughed and said, "Don't worry! I sent someone to inquire and found out that the Princess of Nanchu looks good and has good conduct. She will not wrong Jingyan."
"Has Your Majesty not eaten yet? Do you want to have dinner at Zhiluo Palace today?" Concubine Jing didn't want to discuss this, so she deliberately changed the subject.
"Okay, go ahead and prepare it! Ever since I ate the medicinal diet you made, the dishes in the imperial kitchen are always boring to me." Emperor Liang said with a smile.
Concubine Jing thought to herself, the medicated diet I prepared is not that easy to enjoy. If you don't eat it, you will die. I'm sorry for my medical skills.
Ever since the Red Flame Army was falsely accused of treason and Lin Xie died in battle twelve years ago, Concubine Jing has been thinking about how to take revenge.
The medicinal diet she gave to Emperor Liang seemed to have the effect of strengthening the body and extending his life year after year. Even if the eunuchs tried the poison, they would not be able to find anything wrong with it.
In fact, each of the medicinal materials she chooses is carefully prepared. There is no problem if you take it in the short term, but if you take it in the long term, it will definitely damage your vitality. If you combine it with indulgence, it will be like a bone-scraping knife.
The poison-testing eunuch can't indulge in sexual pleasure, so it's not a big deal, except for a few diarrheas at most.
But Emperor Liang was the emperor and had three thousand beauties in his harem. Even for the sake of the continuation of the emperor's heir, it was impossible for him to remain calm. As long as he touched a woman, the medicine in his body would take effect.
At the beginning, Emperor Liang would only feel that his body was vigorous and vigorous, as if he had regained his youth. However, as time went by, his vitality would inevitably decrease and his energy would inevitably decrease. The slightest bit of cold could make him seriously ill.
In the past, Emperor Liang rarely came to Zhiluo Palace, so he was able to survive until now.
Since Wang Gang gained more and more military achievements and his status in the military was getting higher and higher, Emperor Liang also needed to appease Concubine Jing, so he came to Zhiluo Palace more often and ate more medicinal foods.
Concubine Jing was also very capable, gentle and considerate on the outside, and served Emperor Liang comfortably.
In fact, Emperor Liang's body had long been drained by medicinal food and indulgence, and he only had a year or two to live.
Both Emperor Liang himself and the imperial doctors thought that his health was deteriorating as he grew older.
No one suspected that Concubine Jing, who had always been docile, would actually poison Emperor Liang.
This is Concubine Jing's method of revenge, poisoning you unknowingly without letting anyone notice.
So whoever you offend, don't offend the person next to you, especially the person next to you who is good at medicine.
