Chapter 515: Torment (2)

After the last storm, the sky in the capital has been gloomy, either foggy or cloudy.

The situation in the palace is getting worse and worse, and some people in the palace have already developed typhoid fever, and once this disease is infected, it is bound to cause big trouble.

Typhoid fever kills, and that's what everyone knows. Looking back at the epidemic more than ten years ago, how many people died in total...... It's almost hard to calculate.

The tragic situation of the past must not be repeated today. The Tai Hospital was very vigilant, and they gathered the patients from all over the palace together so that they would not infect other people.

Unfortunately, things always go beyond all expectations. The sad news was not long in coming. Last night, two little palace maids died in Chuxiu Palace, both of them died of typhoid fever.

When Meng Xilan learned about this, the bodies of the two palace maids had already been pulled out of the palace and burned to ashes.

If this continues, everyone in the palace will be in danger. What about her crown prince and her son? Wei Feng was ruthless and resentful, if he had the heart to do it, in the name of typhoid fever, it was not impossible to get rid of himself and the prince......

Thinking of this, Meng Xilan shuddered.

She couldn't stay any longer, and got up to go to the palace. In any case, she must see that he is okay today, and she must tell him to be careful against anyone and anything around him.

The last time Meng Xilan left Cining Palace was half a month ago. Looking at it now, the scene of defeat in the palace is enough to make people feel cold.

The delicate wooden doors were torn down to pieces, because charcoal fires and firewood were needed in the palace. The fine sandalwood and rosewood are now reduced to ashes in the heating fire. Even the door plaque from the hand of a famous craftsman was smashed and split. Those gorgeous curtains and cotton yarn were torn off and turned into clothes that could keep out the cold. Everything has to be put to good use, and everything that is valuable has become mediocre and cheap.

Pearls are covered in dust, gemstones are buried, and gold and silver are piled up in the dark. Just like the glory of the Zhou royal family for a hundred years, it has dimmed since then......

Meng Xilan sat in the car, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked at the pair of eyes outside that were clouded and uneasy because of fear, and the feeling of hunger and cold was the most torturous.

"...... Ask for a concubine ......"

"...... There is nothing left in the palace...... Everything to eat, all gone......"

Gao Fu scolded those who came around, telling them not to go near Niangniang.

"Niangniang, you shouldn't leave Cining Palace. Right now, everything out there is a mess. ”

Gao Fufu sweated hard and looked back at the guards who followed behind him.

They are all Wei Feng's subordinates, but they don't care about Niangniang's safety at all.

They neither stepped forward to protect the mother, nor did they stop the panicked minions, they just watched coldly and followed silently.

"It's all messed up in this palace, let's find a way to leave." Gao Fu lowered his voice and said, "You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to leave here. ”

Meng Xilan pondered slightly for a moment before saying, "Even if we can escape from this palace, we can't escape from this capital." ”

The situation inside the palace is like this, and the situation outside the palace is not much better. Chu Jingchuan controlled the capital single-handedly, just to tightly contain the throat of the Zhou royal family.

There are more than 200 people in the Zhou royal family, but there is only one hope for the Zhou royal family, His Royal Highness the Prince.

Before the sedan chair arrived at the door of the palace, Meng Xilan secretly made a decision: she wanted to send the prince out of the palace at all costs. He can't stay in the palace, let alone become a victim of Chu Jingchuan's men.

The guards of the Imperial Palace have changed another batch, and if you count the interval, it will be exactly twenty days.

Wei Feng is very cautious, he changes the manpower of the Imperial Palace every once in a while, in order to maintain a high degree of vigilance here, not to let people take advantage of the opportunity, and not to let his people have a chance to relax.

Goodbye Changsheng, he has returned to his original handsome and neat appearance.

There was a light in his eyes again, and he seemed to have regained his spirit.

Meng Xilan opened her arms and hugged him, without saying anything.

Changsheng knew that something was wrong in the palace, and besides, everything was out of order.

"Queen Mother, you shouldn't come out and walk around at this time. The typhoid rebellion is the most troublesome. Changsheng's tone was very eager.

"The Queen Mother is just thinking about you, so come and have a look."

Meng Xilan hugged him and never let go, such a scene provoked the guards in charge of guarding the door to sneer and laugh.

In their eyes, this prince is a waste, a complete waste. Maybe even the queen mother is more capable and backbone than him.

One is a waste confined by a high wall, and the other is a queen who is played with by the general, just a pile of waste.

They turned their backs, unwilling to look more, and had no intention of listening.

Changsheng felt the strangeness of the queen mother, he didn't speak, but when she let go of herself, he used his eyes to express his doubts and uneasiness.

Meng Xilan looked at him with burning eyes, held his hand, and secretly exerted force.

"It's not safe in this palace, you have to go out."

Hearing this, Changsheng subconsciously shook his head.

Out of the palace? How is this possible? If they could get out, they would have found a chance to live.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Meng Xilan looked at him and said, "I'll think of a way, you just need to remember that when the time comes, you have to leave immediately." You can't fall into Chu Jingchuan's hands, absolutely not. ”

When Changsheng heard this, he heard the clue in his words.

She wants him to go, but what about her? What did she do?

Meng Xilan reminded him again: "Once something strange happens in the palace, remember, that is your chance to escape." It may be even more chaotic outside the palace, but as long as you blend in with the people, there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Changsheng's eyes widened, and a ghostly light flashed under his eyes, and he instantly understood. The queen mother meant that he should go by himself, not together.

He shook his head again and again, signaling that the queen mother would not leave, and he would not leave either.

Meng Xilan looked at his young and stubborn face, and gently spat out a sentence between her lips: "If you don't leave, the Meng family will die." ”

Changsheng's whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and was silent.

Meng Xilan cupped his face, made him lower his head, and then kissed his forehead. "With you in this life, the queen mother is already content."

He is the crown prince of the Zhou family and the child of the Meng family.

Meng Xilan's goal in life is to keep the Meng family's foundation and the prosperity of the Meng family.

If the Zhou royal family is gone, it won't be a loss for her...... But if the Meng family is defeated and gone, then she has completely failed.

There were many loyal people around the prince, but Meng Xilan only told Shen Dan about his plan. Xiao Chunzi is a eunuch, and her identity will be exposed when she leaves the palace, but Shen Dan is different, when she is outside the palace, she is more useful than Xiao Chunzi.

"After leaving the palace, you can only be by the prince's side. You'll be his only woman. ”

is also a woman, Meng Xilan knows how attractive this sentence is.

The only thing that cannot be replaced is the good wish that can never be realized in the hearts of many people.

"What should a slave do......

Meng Xilan said softly: "Adapt." ”

Shen Dan nodded.

When Meng Xilan was leaving, Changsheng blocked her way, he didn't want to leave like this, or let her put herself in danger.

Meng Xilan looked at him and smiled slightly.

After the plan began, she could no longer come to see him, everything had to be done quietly and silently.

He will definitely be stronger than her.

Leaving the palace, Meng Xilan bit her lower lip tightly and held back the tears in her eyes.

After returning to the palace, Meng Xilan called Gao Fuli and Zhulu to him and told her plan.

Gao Fuli raised his eyebrows slightly, and Zhulu bowed his head and said nothing.

"The palace is only one step away from chaos, and Wei Feng can't wait to drive me crazy. That's why he went so far. But what he didn't expect was that before he drove me crazy, the others would break down first. Once typhoid fever breaks out, people's hearts will change, even if it is a rabbit that is in a hurry, it will bite people, not to mention a big living person! ”

Meng Xilan looked at Gao Fuli and said, "You have to make the hearts of the people in the palace even more chaotic and tell them that their death time has come." ”

"Niangniang, once there is a riot in the palace, you and Your Highness will be in danger."

Meng Xilan took a deep breath: "The first person they want to target is Wei Feng, not this palace. They can't wait to escape, and if they want to send the prince out of the palace, they have to take advantage of the chaos, otherwise, they won't have a chance. ”

Zhu Lu was uneasy: "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" ”

Meng Xilan slowly stretched out two fingers: "I need two things." A chaotic timing, a "corpse" that is fake and real. ”

As long as one of the palace gates is breached, it is an opportunity. As for the other thing, Jiao Changqing will help her prepare.

Early the next morning, Meng Xilan excused herself to be unwell and asked Jiao Changqing to come over to check her pulse.

Wei Feng was quite concerned about this matter, and he also came over with him, wanting to see if Meng Xilan was really in trouble?

Pretending to be sick has always been the specialty of harem women, but Meng Xilan's sick demeanor has no flaws.

Seeing this, Wei Feng couldn't help but be secretly worried.

He didn't want her to get typhoid fever, her life was still useful. Jiao Changqing understood, and deliberately was silent for a while before saying: "Niangniang is indeed a little cold, but fortunately, it is not typhoid fever. ”

Wei Feng's frowning eyebrows when he heard this, eased slightly, and only said: "She can't be fine, you have to do your best!" ”

Jiao Changqing looked at him coldly when he heard this, and said lightly: "It is Weichen's duty to take care of the queen's mother, even if General Wei doesn't say so, Weichen will do his best." ”

Wei Feng saw that his tone was not good, so he just sneered: "Yes, you have always been loyal to the Zhou Dynasty. ”

Meng Xilan saw that the two of them were talking wrong, so she hurriedly coughed lightly and interrupted them. "Imperial Doctor Jiao, isn't this palace really a typhoid fever?"

Seeing that she deliberately asked this, Jiao Changqing had to restrain his emotions and bowed his head and responded: "Niangniang, the phoenix body is fine, but I can't get cold anymore." Halfway through the words, Meng Xilan quietly deepened her fingers and carefully wrote the word "fire" on the futon. Jiao Changqing saw it clearly, and then thought of something, so he continued: "Niangniang, your bedroom is too cold, this brazier is not burning strong enough, it is difficult to keep warm......

Hearing this, Meng Xilan deliberately glanced at Wei Feng: "This is all General Wei's meaning, he can't wait to let the cold north wind outside freeze everyone in this palace to death." ”
