Chapter 315: Palace Killing (2)
In her previous life, Meng Xilan was soft-hearted, she had never hurt anyone, and she had never killed anyone, and her hands were cleaner than white paper. However, in this life, she has more than one life in her hands.
Song Wenxiu's life, she is going to decide. She didn't do it to get a breath, she wanted everyone to remember the lesson.
No one can hurt her Meng Xilan's child.
Xu Yes, when death is approaching, there is nothing to scruple about anymore.
Song Wenxiu's mood slowly calmed down, she no longer trembled, stopped crying, and no longer felt that the wound on her hand hurt, she just looked at Meng Xilan in a daze, looked at her eyes, and said word by word: "Meng Xilan, you are a person who speaks, so I believe you." ”
As long as her family is not implicated, it doesn't matter if she is crushed to ashes.
The corners of Meng Xilan's mouth rose slightly: "Sister, don't worry." ”
Gao Fuli was about to take her down, but who knows, Zhou Youchen suddenly said in a loud voice: "Wait." ”
Gao Fuli's heart tightened when he heard this, for fear that the emperor would suddenly regret it, after all, he was too heavy just now.
Zhou Youchen gently patted the back of Meng Xilan's hand, then got up and walked to Song Wenxiu's side, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In the past few years since you entered the palace, I have indeed treated you poorly. But you don't dare to stand in my way, let alone hurt the woman I love the most. In the past, I have never treated the people of the Song family badly, you can rest assured, I will treat them well in the future. ”
He thought she would feel more at ease if she went on the road with this sentence.
Song Wenxiu heard this, and her heart turned a thousand times, and the endurance of the dust in the past few years was just an empty thing after all.
This man refused to say a warm word to her even before she died.
Song Wenxiu raised her eyes to look at Zhou Youchen, closed her eyes, and said with a smile: "The emperor can kill the concubine for Meng Xilan today, but the emperor, by your side, sooner or later there will be newcomers by your side...... Will you be able to kill the emperor then? ”
Zhou Youchen frowned when he heard this: "You can go on the road with peace of mind." ”
Song Wenxiu trembled and stretched out her hand, grabbed the imperial robe on his body, and said with a hideous smile: "Your Majesty, your dedication is the most intolerable thing in this palace. Sooner or later, one day you will kill Meng Xilan, and you will kill her. ”
His love for her has made Meng Xilan the target of public criticism. She is a thorn in everyone's side, a thorn in the flesh, and she will live with anxiety and danger every day.
Zhou Youchen's cold eyes fell on her, followed him and slowly bent down, whispered softly in her ear, and said, "I don't care, as long as it is someone who hurts Meng Xilan, it is my enemy." ”
Song Wenxiu snorted lightly when she heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were full of contempt.
The palace people originally dragged her out first, but Song Wenxiu still insisted on walking out slowly step by step. She raised her head slightly, although she dragged a pair of crippled hands, she still straightened her back, step by step, revealing her pride and dignity as the queen of the East Palace.
As she said, even if it was death, she wanted to die a decent death.
Meng Xilan quietly looked at the blood stains on the ground, only to feel that it was still so dazzling. The bright red gradually gathered, more and more, and finally turned into a long and thin sword, and then poked directly into her heart.
She suddenly felt a little pain.
The feeling of killing people will never be pleasant.
Zhou Youchen looked at her slightly distracted face, Fang Cai's smile was completely gone, and it was replaced by a deep helplessness and gloom.
Zhou Youchen sat back beside her, and just as he was making eye contact with her, Meng Xilan took the lead in opening his eyes.
Zhou Youchen didn't understand what she meant, stretched out his hand, and gently pulled her face, he had to look at her eyes.
Meng Xilan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was hiding a profound emotion.
Zhou Youchen said lightly: "Do you regret it?" ”
She must have relented, he could have guessed.
Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "How come? Demons will not be soft-hearted. ”
Zhou Youchen sighed, stretched out his long arms, wrapped his arms around her body, and gently pressed his chin against her forehead: "You are you, the one I will always like." If you are a demon, then I am also a demon, so we are a good match. ”
Meng Xilan pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her stomach, but suddenly stopped moving.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that her hands were a little dirty, so she didn't want them to touch the child.
When Song Wen embroidered her bloody head and hung it on the high city gate, the haunting of the capital had not yet come to an end.
Meng Xilan opened this killing ring with her own hands, how could she hastily stop it. Mama Xing beside Song Wenxiu, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs of Kunning Palace, but everyone who participates,
The Song family, for the loss of their daughter, they couldn't imagine that their daughter, the current queen of the East Palace, died tragically in the palace like this, and was beheaded for public display. It's a shame for anyone!
Song Wenxiu's father, Song Wenhao, was so angry that she fell ill in bed, and her mother Zheng was also grief-stricken, crying so much that her eyes were blind.
For a while, there were many voices of grievances for the Song family in the court, and Zhou Shirao would not let go easily when he seized such an opportunity.
He didn't dare to accuse the emperor, but only pointed the finger at Meng Xilan, saying that she was vicious and insidious, and it was difficult for her to shoulder the identity of the mother of a country and the mother of the world.
When Zhou Youchen heard this, he laughed angrily: "You people really don't know what to say when you talk. ”
Zhou Shipao took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the crime of the East Palace Niangniang is extremely heinous, it is also excusable. ”
Zhou Youchen's face sank: "The prince said this so lightly." She is excusable, so will the Queen of the West Palace be slandered and despised for no reason? ”
Zhou Shirao lowered his head: "Xigong Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon descendant, which is indeed a gratifying thing. However, it is also an indefensible fact that Nishinomiya Niangniang's behavior is wrong. ”
"Misconduct? The prince doesn't want to find fault with the past again! I don't have the mood to bring up the old things with you now, the people in the four states are still starving and suffering, should you spend more time thinking about countermeasures! ”
Zhou Youchen restrained his anger and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Shipao didn't look at his "face", but said: "The emperor blindly favors the West Palace Niangniang, which will only attract more rights and wrongs!" Niangniang is an ominous person herself, she was, and still is......"
Before he could finish his sentence, someone on the other side suddenly punched him in the face.
Zhou Shirao's cheeks hurt and almost fell.
The person who beat him was none other than Meng Xilan's brother Meng Xizhao.
He had been standing in the back, listening to Zhou Shirao's nonsense.
His patience had been exhausted by these days. When he thought of his sister, who was now working hard to raise a fetus and suffering from gossip at the same time, his heart felt like a knife was being cut one by one, and it hurt sharply.
Meng Xizhao suddenly made a move on Zhou Shirao, which naturally surprised the ministers.
Meng Zhenglu turned around and accused his son: "Presumptuous, in front of the emperor, what are you doing?" ”
"What did the mother do wrong? Why should they be harassed and despised? ”
Zhou Shipao is a person of some age after all, he was dizzy and dizzy by Meng Xizhao's punch, and his left tooth was slightly loose, as if it was about to fall off.
Seeing this scene, the ministers who reacted subconsciously turned their heads to see what the expression on the emperor's face would be.
Zhou Youchen's expression at this time was beyond everyone's expectations, he was actually smiling.
He didn't just smile, but also thanked Meng Xizhao.
"Thank you Meng Aiqing for doing what I wanted to do."
Everyone seemed to have expected that the emperor would have this attitude, and then they began to calm things down, turning big things into small things and small things into nothing.
Zhou Youchen did not blame Meng Xizhao, nor did he mean to appease Zhou Shirao.
Zhou Shipao was sent back to the palace by him to rest, and he deliberately ordered Zhou Shipao to rest for a few more days, the meaning of which was to let Zhou Shipao not be in the court and not appear in front of him again.
Afterwards, Zhou Youchen and Meng Xilan mentioned the matter, and Meng Xilan was slightly startled. But in the end, she still bowed her head and smiled.
Since the accident, Zhou Youchen hadn't seen her smile for several days, and when he saw her smiling, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth and say, "You have a good brother." ”
Meng Xilan nodded and said, "Well, the concubine knows." ”
However, the eldest brother has never been such an impulsive person, but now he has done such a reckless thing for her, and it is estimated that when he returns home, he will be scolded by his father heavily.
"Although I have eight brothers, I can't match you one." Zhou Youchen's tone became a little emotional.
Meng Xilan deliberately leaned into his arms, looked up at him and said, "Are the ministers still making a lot of trouble?" ”
Zhou Youchen didn't hide it, just nodded.
Meng Xilan breathed a shallow sigh of relief when she heard this, and looked down at her hands.
Zhou Youchen grabbed her hand, held it in the palm of his hand and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Meng Xilan said quietly: "The concubine is looking to see if the bloody qi on the concubine's hands has dissipated. ”
Lately, she has often had the illusion that her hands smell of blood, which is the smell she hates the most.
Zhou Youchen was worried that she would start thinking nonsense again, so he deliberately put her hand to the end of her nose and sniffed lightly: "Nonsense, I obviously smelled a very fragrant smell of fat powder." ”
"The concubine didn't apply grease and powder today." Lately, she has been sensitive and careful about smells.
Zhou Youchen pretended not to believe it, and sniffed it again: "No, no, it's wrong." It's not a fat powder flavor, it's a floral scent, a very fresh floral fragrance. ”
Meng Xilan smiled again when she heard this: "Where did the flowers come from in this cold winter?" ”
Zhou Youchen put down her hand and stroked her face: "You have to smile more, you will be happy when you are happy with the child in your belly." The hardest times are behind us, and everything will be fine. ”
This sentence was always Meng Xilan who came to him before. Now for him, he wants to protect her, but he has not done enough, he has not been able to protect her well and make her truly happy.
