Chu Ansheng saw that the people inside sat up, so he stepped forward and lifted the curtain, he was about to open his mouth to say goodbye, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Meng Xilan's unusual belly.

She had been lying on her side on the bed with a robe draped over her shoulders, and when she sat up straight, her bulging lower abdomen was instantly exposed.

Chu Ansheng was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know what was going on at all?

What's going on with the queen's belly? Why?

Meng Xilan didn't expect him to appear here, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hand, but after thinking about it, he had already seen it, so what was the use of going down again?

Her eyes turned sharp, she looked at Chu Ansheng and lowered her voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Chu Ansheng raised his face slightly, his face full of shock. His gaze wandered over Meng Xilan's abdomen, and he shook his head again and again: "Niangniang, what's going on?" ”

Is she pregnant? How is this possible?

A month ago, she was still fine!

Meng Xilan straightened her robe, leaned back, took a deep breath and said, "Ben Gong didn't want to tell you so early. But now that you have seen it, this palace has no choice but to tell you the truth. ”

She immediately raised her hand to signal, and the little palace maid outside immediately closed the curtain and retreated to the outer hall.

Chu Ansheng was still standing in place, his limbs were cold, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was pouring into his brain, making him dizzy.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "The slave listens. ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head and covered herself with a thin quilt, her expression was as calm as deep water, and under the seemingly calm surface, there were countless undercurrents hidden.

"Bengong has been pregnant for more than five months, and this child is your father's, Chu Jingchuan's."

Chu Ansheng's face turned pale when he heard this. For him, this is not just a fright, but a truth that is enough to break down. That's a father's child! Today's queen mother actually carries the blood of her deceased father in her womb!

How is this possible? This is ridiculous!

Chu Ansheng lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips couldn't poke into his palms, the pain could make people sober and keep him vigilant.

"After your father seized the capital, he stayed in the palace. You must know about this. He had been with Hongu all the time, and before he was executed, Hongu did not know that he was pregnant...... It all came so suddenly! ”

Chu Ansheng's body shook slightly, and after bowing his head and being silent for a moment, the expression on his face suddenly fell, and he said with a tough attitude: "How about that?" The Chu family has been defeated, even if you are pregnant with your father's child, what can you do? It's all late, it's pointless......"

He staggered back a few steps, his hands clutching his head, his face as white as paper.

Meng Xilan stared straight at Chu Ansheng: "How could this kid be meaningless?" He is your father's blood and your dearest. ”

Zhou Youchen was ruthless to the Chu family, he wanted to make the Chu family go up in smoke, but Meng Xilan was powerless to stop everything.

"This palace will keep this child for your father's sake." Meng Xilan looked at him deeply.

Chu Ansheng's eyes suddenly became flustered. He and Meng Xilan glanced at each other, and there seemed to be tears in their eyes: "What stupid things are you talking about?" You are the queen, and the child in your womb is the remnant of the sinner! Who can keep him? ”

He never expected it to turn out like this.

Since he was tortured by the palace, Chu Ansheng hated himself very much, he hated why he still had the face to live, why he didn't die happily!

Meng Xilan spoke quietly and asked lightly: "The emperor has fallen ill in bed." The crown prince is about to complete his wedding, and who else can stop the palace in this harem? ”

Chu Ansheng's heart sank when he heard this, he raised his head, and met Meng Xilan's eyes like a bottomless abyss, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

He opened his mouth, but he stopped talking.

Could it be that the emperor suddenly fell ill, and this has something to do with her?

Meng Xilan didn't wait for him to say anything, so she said directly: "This palace has gambled everything for this child. Now even the crown prince doesn't know about this matter......"

In order to conceal this matter, she really took a lot of effort and thought. The prince often came to say goodbye, but he still didn't know it.

Chu Ansheng's heart was beating faster, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

He stepped back again and again, and saw that he was about to retreat behind the curtain.

"You stop for Hongu!"

Meng Xilan's eyes became sharp, and Chu Ansheng was scolded by her, and immediately stood in place, not daring to move again.

"The men of the Chu family shouldn't be as brave as you! Your father wasn't like that, and neither should you! ”

When Chu Ansheng heard this, his chest felt like it was about to explode.

Meng Xilan lifted the quilt on her body and slowly stood up from the bed.

She stretched out her hand towards Chu Ansheng and said, "Come here, hold on to the palace." ”

Chu Ansheng pursed his lips and couldn't speak, still standing still.

Meng Xilan waved her hand lightly again: "You come here." ”

Chu Ansheng's eyes froze, and the feet that originally wanted to step out seemed to be frozen for a while, and he couldn't move anymore.

He finally walked over and went to Meng Xilan's side. Who knows, Meng Xilan grabbed his hand and pressed it on his stomach.

Chu Ansheng's eyes widened in shock, he had never touched a woman. He subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but Meng Xilan held on to it and refused to let him go.

"He's your relative, your half-relative!" Meng Xilan muttered, "You have to help the palace keep it a secret." ”

At this moment, Chu Ansheng's inner emotions were tumbling fiercely.

He lowered his head and stared at Meng Xilan's belly, wishing that he could cut open her stomach with his eyes and take a good look at what the child was like?

More than five months pregnant...... This kid can't be the dog emperor's. It would only be the father's child!

Chu Ansheng recalled the past, and couldn't help but look up at Meng Xilan, his eyes full of incomprehension and doubt.

"Why are you? You're already ......."

He wanted to say but stopped, but what he wanted to say was: "You have already betrayed your father, why do you still do such a thing?" You obviously put the Chu family to death, why do you still have this glimmer of life? ”

This woman, what the hell is she thinking? What exactly does she want?

Meng Xilan slowly let go of his hand: "This palace is a failure to your father, and it is also a failure to your Chu family. Therefore, this palace wants to keep this child. ”

When Chu Jingchuan died tragically, her heart seemed to be half dead.

If a person really dies, he disappears from the world and becomes a silent wisp of soul, free and passing away with the wind. But if a person is only half dead, then her heart is painful, her consciousness is still there, she will be in pain, she will be cold, she will be cold, she will be helpless to the extreme.

"What about the prince?" Chu Ansheng calmed down a little, and the first thing that came to mind was, how would the prince treat this child?

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said, "The prince is pure and kind by nature, he will not embarrass this palace, let alone embarrass this child." ”

The truth will definitely make him uncomfortable, but he will eventually understand her helplessness. Her disheartened heart towards the emperor is not a betrayal, but a trade-off.

Chu Ansheng looked at her deeply, pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "Okay, the slave will obey the arrangement of the mother." ”

It was his father's flesh and blood, his father's posthumous son, how could he not compromise?

The corners of Meng Xilan's mouth rose slightly, and then nodded: "Now, you should understand why this palace trusts you." ”

He had always been wary of her, and now that wariness could become his loyalty.

The moment he walked out of Cining Palace, Chu Ansheng's feet were still sore and weak.

His spirit was still a little trance-like, after all, the impact he had just received was too great.

Baozhu walked back with the pearl soup, and when he saw his unruly appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Xiao Shengzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chu Ansheng just glanced up at her when he heard this, but left without saying anything.

Baozhu felt that something was wrong, and when he went back, he saw that Niangniang was also sitting there with a heavy face.

"Niangniang, Xiao Shengzi seems to have lost her soul just now. Could it be ......?"

Meng Xilan nodded slightly: "He knows." ”

Baozhu's eyebrows furrowed, and he sent the pearl soup to the master: "That's really the case...... Mother, he won't mess around. ”

Meng Xilan thought for a while: "He won't." ”

He is Chu Jingchuan's child, and the child in her belly is also Chu Jingchuan's child.

Blood relatives, how can they be indifferent.

……

For three days in a row, every time the prince came to Cining Palace to ask for peace, he couldn't see the queen mother.

She talked to him through the tent and prepared him a sumptuous supper, but she just didn't see him.

"Queen Mother, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

When Changsheng got up to leave, he couldn't help but speak, "Do you have something to hide from your son?" ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "There is nothing to do in this palace, but I can't see you for the time being." ”

"Why?"

Meng Xilan wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that it was not yet time, so she said: "After your marriage is decided, this palace is telling you, how about it?" ”

Changsheng's eyebrows frowned: "No, Erchen has to know now." ”

Chu Ansheng stood outside, and couldn't help but hang his heart.

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment before saying, "Changsheng, if you really want to know what this palace is hiding, just walk through this curtain tent." ”

Changsheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he knew that the queen mother would not say these words for no reason. Then what is certain is that what she is hiding must be a big deal.

What the hell happened to her?

Changsheng didn't take much time to think, and stretched out his hand directly, but was gently stopped by the orb on the side: "Your Highness, please allow the slave maid to say more." In any case, please don't hurt the mother. ”

Changsheng's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Baozhu bit her lip and said nothing, but silently retreated.

The suspicion in Changsheng's heart was even stronger.

He lifted the curtain and saw the queen mother sitting at the table.

She was wearing a loose and plain robe, and her face was not powdered, but her face was also ruddy and spirited. It's just that there seems to be sorrow between the eyebrows and eyes, and it seems that he is preoccupied.

"Queen Mother...... You ......"

Looking at her appearance, she is clearly fine.

Changsheng took a step forward, but Meng Xilan was the first to speak: "Changsheng, the queen mother is sorry for you for one thing. ”

Changsheng shook his head without thinking about it: "Queen Mother, don't say that. ”

Meng Xilan propped up the edge of the table with her hands and slowly stood up.

Changsheng looked at her with a puzzled gaze, his gaze slowly moved down, and after his gaze was lowered, a pair of eyes instantly opened to the eldest boss, and even his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"It's ......"

Meng Xilan said gloomily: "This is Chu Jingchuan's child." When the capital was lost, you all know what Chu Jingchuan did to me. ”

Hearing this, Changsheng's heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning that passed through the sky, and the pain was so painful that his whole body was paralyzed and he couldn't breathe.

Of course, he remembered what Chu Jingchuan had done to his mother, he had hurt her and defiled her.
