Meng Xilan shook her head when she heard this: "Grandmother, don't be like this." You and the Meng family have never owed half a point to this palace! ”

Old Lady Meng's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at her deeply and said, "Lan'er, you must have had a hard time all these years." Inside and outside the palace, nothing is easy. When the first emperor was there, you were enduring it, and now that the emperor has ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, you still have to endure it...... Lan'er, grandmother can't stand you. ”

Meng Xilan's tears flowed down her eyes, and she couldn't help it if she wanted to.

The old lady hugged her gently: "Lan'er, you have to plan more for yourself in the future......"

Meng Xilan lowered her head, hugged her body back, and said, "Grandmother, don't say it, I'm uncomfortable." ”

Old Lady Meng leaned on her shoulder and sighed weakly before she said, "Lan'er, if everything can be done again." Grandmother won't let you into the palace again. ”

Xu Yes, life has reached the last moment. All the things of the past poured into my mind.

If she hadn't entered the palace back then, then everything would have been different. She will marry into the Chu family according to the marriage contract and live a lifetime of harmony with Chu Jingchuan. There weren't so many distractions, there weren't so many difficulties.

Mrs. Meng held back her tears and comforted her grandmother. Today, no amount of emotion can change the past.

After Jiao Changqing arrived, everyone in the Meng family waited solemnly.

In order to rejoice the old lady, they prepared a coffin in advance.

Jiao Changqing said truthfully to Meng Xilan: "Judging from the old lady's pulse, her body is too weak. There is a good chance it will ......"

The situation is not objective, and the old lady will most likely not make it until tomorrow morning.

Meng Xilan's body trembled slightly when she heard this, although she had expected it to be like this. But she was still reluctant to send her grandmother away.

"Do you want to go back to the palace first...... Wechen will always stay. ”

Meng Xilan shook her head lightly: "This palace has to stay forever." ”

After a while, Zhu Qing hurriedly ran over and said, "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

Zhou Youchen wore a regular suit and came in the thick night.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Her eyes were red, and she looked like she had cried.

Zhou Youchen held her hand and looked into her eyes: "How is the old lady?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly.

Tonight is the most critical. However, even if she can survive tonight, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will still be the same crisis.

Zhou Youchen gently hugged Meng Xilan's shoulder: "I will stay with you." ”

Meng Xilan nodded. At this moment, she needed his company very much.

Mrs. Meng was still asleep, and Meng Xilan would go over to see her every half an hour.

After the child, the old lady woke up once, looked at the family members who were guarding her, and said, "Where is Lan'er?" ”

Meng Zhenglu saw that his mother was thinking about her daughter, and he hurriedly ordered someone to go over to pass the word.

Meng Xilan hurried over, she knelt beside her grandmother's bed, held her hand, and listened to her.

The old lady smiled weakly and left her last last words.

"Lan'er, I'm sorry ......" The simple five words fell on Meng Xilan's heart, but they were like thousands of pounds in weight, so that she couldn't breathe in an instant.

Meng Xilan looked at her grandmother's slowly closed eyes and exclaimed. "Grandmother, don't sleep, don't sleep......"

She was a little overwhelmed, and instinctively looked back, wanting to find Jiao Changqing.

"Master, master!"

Jiao Changqing knelt forward, reached out and touched the old lady's pulse, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Mother, the old lady has ......"

With his unfinished words, everyone in the room knelt down.

Meng Xilan shook her grandmother's hand, and suddenly her eyes went dark, and the whole person fell backwards.

When she woke up, the Meng family had already begun to handle her grandmother's funeral.

Zhou Youchen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her quietly, his eyes were heavy, and his thick eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"Lan'er, you're awake."

He leaned forward, touched her forehead and said, "You know what? You have a fever. ”

Meng Xilan blinked, and sure enough, she felt that her head was dizzy.

"The old lady's funeral, I will order them to handle it well. You don't have to worry about anything. ”

Meng Xilan nodded slightly invisibly.

Funerals, naturally, should be done well, in a beautiful manner. However, she suddenly had an idea in her heart. No matter how good the scenery is, people are no longer there.

"Your Majesty." Meng Xilan turned her head to look at him: "Your Majesty, do you know what the last words of your grandmother to her concubine were?" ”

Zhou Youchen shook his head.

He didn't know what she said, he just knew she was sad.

"She said she was sorry." Meng Xilan said with a chuckle. Laughing and laughing, tears slowly flowed.

Between relatives, you shouldn't say you're sorry. Over the years, she has indeed had resentments in her heart, but the past is like smoke, and the past is the past.

Meng Xilan couldn't hold back from crying, and when Zhou Youchen held her in his arms, she bit her lower lip tightly.

After Mrs. Meng died, Meng Xilan's mood was gloomy for a while.

Seeing that she was depressed, Zhou Youchen wanted to take her outside to relax.

"Next month, I'm going to go out of the palace to the south, Lan'er, you can go with me."

Out of the palace south tour ...... Because of her grandmother's funeral, Meng Xilan almost forgot about it. At this time, she was slightly stunned, and then shook her head and said, "No, the emperor is going on a serious trip to the south this time." Concubines shouldn't follow...... delay the emperor's business. ”

Zhou Youchen smiled when he heard this: "When have you ever delayed me?" It's that I'm not worried about being alone, you've been in a bad mood lately, and you're stuffy in the palace, isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"The concubine still has to teach the prince......"

"So what? I brought the prince with me, just so that he could see for a long time. ”

Meng Xilan made up her mind that she would not go on this southern tour. There are many things in the palace, and besides, she will not rashly let Changsheng walk out of the palace.

He is the crown prince and the only heir to the throne. Inside and outside the palace, those red-eyed villains are waiting to see what happens to him. She can't be negligent, and she won't give the enemy a chance.

"The concubine thanks the emperor for his kindness, but the prince has just been enlightened, and his homework can't be left behind for a day. Also, worry-free...... Sister Tong is also eight months pregnant, and she will give birth in two months. Your Majesty, the concubines and children will not go this time. When the children are older, the concubines will definitely accompany the emperor for a good trip. ”

Meng Xilan's gentle refusal made Zhou Youchen feel a little disappointed: "Once upon a time, you always wanted to go out of the palace. This is a rare opportunity. Besides, you don't watch me by my side, can you rest assured? ”

Meng Xilan chuckled when she heard this: "Don't laugh at the emperor, the concubines have always believed in the emperor wholeheartedly." Also, this time the emperor left the palace, and no one could take care of him. According to the concubine's idea, it is better to let Sister Yu'er follow the emperor. ”

Song Huaiyu is as delicate as a hair, and she knows how to be considerate, and it is reassuring to have her with the emperor.

Zhou Youchen raised his eyebrows lightly, gently held her chin, looked into her eyes and said, "You are really getting more and more interested in me...... You care about every spoonful of rice you eat in Changsheng, but what about me? ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan also gently held his face, touched his forehead with her forehead and said, "The emperor said this, is he eating immortal vinegar?" ”

Zhou Youchen smiled lightly, raised his chin, and kissed her forehead: "Okay, okay, I know that in your heart, I can't compare to immortality." ”

……

Regarding the southern tour, Zhou Youchen did not mention it to the harem concubines, but only mentioned it to Meng Xilan alone. But the emperor didn't say it, and the concubines in the palace also knew their own ways.

Tong Yao was about to give birth in less than two months, and when she heard that the emperor was going to leave the palace, she was anxious.

Tong Yao came to Cining Palace with a round belly, and hugged her aggrievedly: "Niangniang, the concubine will give birth next month, if the emperor is out of the palace, then how can he do it?" ”

Meng Xilan was looking at the worry-free painting, and she was in a good mood. After listening to her words, her expression changed.

"My sister said this strangely. The emperor went out of the palace to tour the south for political affairs. What's my sister dissatisfied with? ”

Meng Xilan glanced at her coldly.

Tong Yao knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head: "Niangniang, the concubine is just worried about the child in the concubine's womb." ”

"What do you have to worry about? The imperial doctors in the palace are all protecting your fetus, and you can have whatever you want. Meng Xilan put away the worry-free painting carefully, and then looked up at her: "The fetus in my sister's womb, this palace is also very concerned." This is the second imperial heir after the crown prince. My sister needs to be careful. ”

The child in her womb is not only her own child, but also the emperor's child and the precious imperial heir of the imperial court. If something happens to the child, she won't be fine.

"Also, the candidate to accompany the emperor on his southern tour has been decided. You don't have to change your mind, just raise a baby in the palace in a down-to-earth manner. ”

After Meng Xilan said this, she ordered Zhuqing to send her out.

She really didn't bother to listen to her ramblings.

Tong Yao held her big belly and went all the way back to Yongchun Palace. Suddenly, the imperial doctor came to ask her for a safe pulse, she stretched out her wrist, and she was still concerned about the emperor's departure from the palace.

She worked hard to conceive this child just to get the emperor's attention. As a result, seeing that he was about to give birth, the emperor was about to leave the palace. How could she stand it in her heart?

In the afternoon, Meng Xilan sent someone to call Song Huaiyu to talk.

"Next month, when the emperor is on his southern tour, you can go with him."

Meng Xilan's faint words made Song Huaiyu's hands tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan seemed to smile: "Good and dignified, what are you panicking about?" ”

Song Huaiyu sat up, looked at Meng Xilan, and said puzzledly: "Niangniang, this is the emperor's first time out of the palace to tour the south, don't you go with you?" ”

When Meng Xilan saw her say this, she knew that she was suspicious of herself.

"There are a lot of things in this palace, and the prince is young, so it's not so easy for this palace to step out of that palace gate. Also, Tong Yao is about to give birth, and there must be someone in this palace who has an idea. ”

In case there is anything dangerous, whether it is big or small depends on her words.

"The reason why I chose you is because you are the most favorite and most important person in this palace."

Song Huaiyu stood up when she heard this, and knelt down again to thank her: "The concubine is grateful." ”

"These days, you're so prepared. The prescription prescribed by Master Jiao must be taken on time. Also, it's better for you to go less to the Yongchun Palace, if you can accompany you on the patrol, others will definitely be red-eyed. Therefore, it is better to have more than less. ”

Meng Xilan's words seemed to be planning for her everywhere.

Song Huaiyu's mood was slightly complicated.

It is certainly a good thing to go out of the palace with the emperor to tour the south. However, this period of preparation is not easy.

Wu Xue'er has been looking forward to this opportunity, let alone Tong Yao.

Meng Xilan saw her frowning and looking embarrassed, so she said, "Don't worry, you just need to stay quietly in your palace." Hongu will watch them. ”
