Speaking of which, Mrs. Meng has profoundly grasped the meaning of her granddaughter's words. No wonder, there is no joy between her eyebrows and eyes, but full of helplessness and melancholy.

As the saying goes, one is prosperous, and one is lost. Meng Xilan and the Meng family are connected by flesh and blood, and between the two, if either party is injured, the muscles and bones will be broken, the flesh and blood will be torn, and they will end up with injuries.

Mrs. Meng's whole body trembled slightly, her eyes were sad and helpless, and her voice trembled and she called: "No, Niangniang...... For the old body, for the Meng family, only you are the most important. ”

Meng Xilan saw her teary eyes, and faintly stopped: "Grandmother, don't be sad." When you get out of here later, you must not let others perceive your sorrow and pain. ”

She had to remind her, because now every pair of eyes inside and outside the palace were secretly watching and observing her. She had been closed for months, with no outsiders in sight. Therefore, everyone is very curious about her current situation, to put it bluntly, what everyone cares about most is the safety of the child in her womb?

"If Grandmother leaves here with red eyes, those people will definitely think that something is wrong with this palace. So, Grandmother must leave here with a smile and go back happy. ”

Meng Xilan looked at her grandmother without blinking, solemnly reminding him of the stakes.

Old Mrs. Meng's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she immediately lowered her head and nodded at the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Rest assured, the old body will not add half of the trouble and inconvenience to the mother."

She has always been good at acting, especially when it is so important now.

Meng Xilan saw that she calmed down: "Actually, grandmother should be happy for this palace." Because no matter what, the palace has won a chance for itself and the emperor. ”

Old Lady Meng's heart trembled. yes, it's a chance, a unique chance.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help lowering her head again, her eyes were full of tears, and her heart was half sad and half guilty.

"Niangniang......" Mrs. Meng choked up again, and wanted to say "I'm sorry".

Who knows, Meng Xilan stopped her with her eyes first, at this moment, she didn't want to hear any guilty words.

Suddenly, Zhulu came with a decoction and said softly: "Niangniang has taken the medicine at the right time." Master Jiao has already tried the medicine for you. ”

Old Mrs. Meng was slightly stunned when she heard this, looked at the medicine bowl brought in by Zhu Lu, and frowned unconsciously: "What?" Usually does Lord Jiao personally test the medicine for his mother? ”

Meng Xilan nodded: "The palace has been able to survive until now, all because of the master's careful care." ”

To put it bluntly, without Jiao Changqing, there would be no peace for her today, and the peace of the child in her womb.

Old Mrs. Meng couldn't help but be a little moved when she heard this: "I really didn't expect that Master Jiao was such a kind and loyal person. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes became solemn when she heard this: "Grandmother, the master is not loyal to the palace, but gracious. This kindness will be firmly remembered in my heart, and I hope that my grandmother will also remember it firmly and not forget. In the future, when the Jiao family has difficulties, our Meng family will definitely do our best to help, and we cannot shirk it. ”

This is the basis of being a human being.

Jiao Changqing's kindness to her and the Meng family, she can't pay it back in this life. She only hopes that from now on, the Meng family and the Jiao family can continue to be good friends from generation to generation, rely on each other, help each other, and achieve the real "Meng does not leave Jiao, Jiao does not leave Meng".

When Mrs. Meng heard her say this, she was naturally full of emotion in her heart.

"The heart of the healer's parents. Niangniang's words, the old body has written it down, and in the future, our Meng family will regard the people of the Jiao family as the greatest benefactor of the Meng family. ”

Meng Xilan nodded slightly when she heard this: "That's the best." ”

The bitter decoction, Meng Xilan drank it like white water. As long as this child is here, no matter how bitter the medicine is, it will be sweet to drink.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng couldn't help but open her eyes slightly.

Meng Xilan can't sit for a long time, and usually stays in bed most of the time.

Mrs. Meng didn't want her to bother, so she sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

When Meng Xilan saw that he was leaving, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

The suspicion between them has not been eliminated, but now for the sake of this child, it is useless to care more.

"Grandmother, in the future, I will come to the palace more often to see the main palace." Meng Xilan said this softly.

It's hard for anyone to say what will happen in the future...... She just wants to cherish every opportunity.

After hearing this, the old lady nodded with a smile, with tears in her smile: "Niangniang must take care of herself, the old body will definitely come back in a few days." ”

Even if she doesn't like her coming, she will come.

Mrs. Meng walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall with heavy steps, but she did not forget Meng Xilan's advice, there was a happy look between her eyebrows, she sat on the sedan chair with a smile, and when the curtain was released, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by deep reluctance and grief.

She suddenly felt that she was not wrong...... From the time when Meng Xilan was sent to the palace, this was a mistake.

After more than ten years of ups and downs, the Meng family finally became the head of the famous family in the capital, but there were too many people and things sacrificed during this period.

She once hoped that Meng Xilan would use her own means and determination to protect the supremacy of the Meng family. However, when she saw Meng Xilan using her own life to save the child in her womb, how could that feeling be determined by heartache.

Mrs. Meng held back her tears and wanted to lift the curtain and take a look in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, but she still held back.

Inside and outside this palace, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching her cautiously in the dark, as long as she frowns slightly, or her eyes show sadness. They all wonder if something happened to Meng Xilan.

That's what's really scary here. This is also the reason why Meng Xilan wanted to leave more than once. This is a place where you can't laugh and cry uncontrollably. Everyone has to put on a mask and whitewash themselves, even if they can't see the sun tomorrow, even if everything is just a passing moment......

After her grandmother left, Meng Xilan instructed Zhulu to wash her face and remove her makeup.

Zhu Lu was a little pity when she heard this: "It's rare for a mother to dress herself like this......"

Meng Xilan looked at the bronze mirror in her hand and smiled slightly: "The appearance of this palace, this palace knows it in your heart, and you all know it." This whitewashed beauty is just a pretense for coaxing people. ”

Zhulu nodded slightly, and soaked the handkerchief with warm water to wipe the master's face.

Half an hour later, Zhou Youchen returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall with high benefits.

His face was angry, and his eyes were red with anger.

Meng Xilan was taking a nap and didn't know he was back.

Zhou Youchen was full of anger, but he didn't dare to quarrel with her, so he went to walk outside the palace with Gao Fuli, wanting to dissipate the anger on his body.

Gao Fuli followed behind him tremblingly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the slave has one more word, today's matter, but you must not let the mother know." ”

Zhou Youchen glared at him with a calm face: "You still need to say this." Do you think I'm as confused as the rabble who turn right and wrong? ”

Gao Fuli was taken aback by his loud voice, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

However, at this moment, Meng Xilan had already woken up slowly. When she heard that the emperor had come back, she avoided it for some reason, so she faintly felt that something was wrong.

She summoned Xiao Chunzi for questioning, and asked him if there was anything in the court that made the emperor unhappy?

Xiao Chunzi is not a person who can't hide her thoughts, but she was negligent for a while today, and deliberately lowered her head and said no.

Meng Xilan thought like a thought, looked at him quietly for a moment, and only said: "Xiaochunzi, are you so bold to learn from your master, even your own master dares to deceive?" ”

Xiao Chunzi heard that the master's words were wrong, and quickly knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't dare...... Niangniang, in fact, the slave didn't know the specific situation, but vaguely heard a few words......"

"Don't sell it to this palace, just say a few words when you hear a few words." Meng Xilan closed her eyes and said.

She knows in her heart, and whether she can't keep it is something related to her.

"Recently, strange things have often happened inside and outside the capital, and it is said that even strange and strange things have happened in Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, which has made people in the city panic."

Meng Xilan still closed her eyes, and her tone was slightly heavier: "What's the bad thing?" ”

Xiao Chunzi swallowed her saliva and had to speak one by one.

It turned out that since Meng Xilan became pregnant, strange things have happened frequently inside and outside the capital.

The guards who patrol the city at night in the capital often see some white-clothed people who don't know whether they are people or ghosts, they walk side by side, their long clothes fluttering, and they have words in their mouths. However, every time the guards chased him and seized him, he was always unable to catch anyone.

They came and went like ghosts.

It is rumored among the people of the capital that they are all evil spirits from the underworld, who have come to the world to grab the souls of the living for food. The rumors became more and more intense, and within a few days, the streets of the capital began to cause another incident, and the corpses of some dead cats and dead dogs often appeared in the corners and alleys, and the deaths were terrifying, drenched in blood, and all of them were dug out of their hearts and livers.

Strange things happened one after another, and in addition, those warlocks who made waves talked nonsense in order to buy talisman water, so that the people began to believe that this was a bad omen for the reincarnation of demons and the arrival of the world.

Hearing this, Meng Xilan didn't have to guess to know that these messy rumors would eventually be involved in herself and her children.

"Okay, Bengong knows, are the rumors outside saying that Bengong is pregnant with a demon in her belly." Her tone was light and cold.

Xiao Chunzi knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "The slave doesn't dare to say it......"

Meng Xilan raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows: "It's okay, this palace won't blame you, let alone implicate you." It's not you who is spreading rumors, so you don't have to be afraid. ”

Koharuko nodded invisibly.

has worked hard like this, and to grind her body black, the manpower and material resources behind this must be indispensable. So the mastermind behind this must be a big man with a head and a face.

There are such capable people in this court, it can be counted as pinching his fingers, of course, Zhou Shirao bears the brunt and ranks first!

Zhu Lu was afraid that Meng Xilan would be angry, so she hurriedly knelt down and stroked her back: "Niangniang, you don't have to take this villain's trick to heart, the emperor will make the decision for Niangniang." Mother, your body is the most important thing...... As long as Niangniang gives birth to the emperor's heir safely, let the tricks of those villains fail, and in the future, Niangniang will have the kung fu to clean them up. ”

Meng Xilan clenched her hands into fists hard, and then slowly let go, she touched her bulging belly while smiling suspiciously: "This palace will not be angry, being angry is the most useless." These people don't want to die, since they still dare to slander the children of this palace as demons, ha, then this palace will show them a good "demon" once! Those who harm me, this palace will definitely want them to shed their skin even if they don't die! ”
