Chapter 401: Trade-offs (2)
Worry-free stood in place, and couldn't understand why Changsheng was angry with her even if he wanted to break his head.
Changsheng frowned, left Cining Palace, and walked as quickly as he could, and the little eunuchs behind him ran and chased, barely able to keep up.
He hurried all the way, and saw that he was about to arrive at the study, and happened to meet Meng Qingyun.
The two brothers, Meng Qingyun and Meng Qingrong, were waiting for the crown prince, and when they saw him coming in a hurry, they looked displeased, and couldn't help but be suspicious: "Your Royal Highness the prince, what's wrong?" ”
Changsheng paused and looked up at him: "Oh, brothers are here." ”
Meng Qingyun saw that his face was different, so he said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”
Changsheng shook his head again and again, and hurriedly recovered his spirits and said, "It's okay, the two brothers don't have to worry." ”
He's just confused for a moment, calm down, and everything will be fine.
Zhou Shirao's condition is getting worse day by day, and the people in Prince Rong's mansion are panicked.
After Zhou Anting was scolded by his father, he didn't have the heart to look at him, and just walked around the door every day to say a few words of greeting, which was regarded as a sign of filial piety.
The snobbs around him began to call him the little prince one by one.
Zhou Anting was happy in his heart, but his father was seriously ill, and he didn't dare to show it.
He is a foolish person, but his wife Xiao is not confused, she and even her husband, although she is the son of the world, but she has nothing to do, and she has no strategy or strategy, but her fate is good, and she was born as the eldest son.
Because of the villains around him, Zhou Anting had too many vices to count.
He was only in his early twenties, and he was already rich and proficient in everything.
Xiao married into the palace for less than three years, and his heart was full of disgust for this husband.
She originally wanted to persuade him to come in, but Zhou Anting only regarded her words as useless air, and listened to the left ear and the right ear.
Xiao saw that her husband was not working, so she went to her sister-in-law to discuss.
Zhou Lier, as the county lord, is the same age as the Xiao family, and the relationship between the two gets along well.
"County Lord, you should persuade your uncompetitive brother. If he goes on like this, he has to make a lot of trouble. ”
Zhou Lier was worried about her father's illness. After listening to the eldest sister-in-law's complaints, I was even more sad in my heart.
The father's life is dying, and the brother is mediocre and incompetent, is this family really going to fail?
For so many years, my father has been fighting with Meng Xilan, and the life of that slut is so good that he can't die. Zhou Li'er watched her soar all the way, although she hated it in her heart, she was helpless.
Xiao Shi talked for a long time, and saw that Zhou Li'er was just frowning, sitting there, and he didn't even say a word, so he said, "County Lord, you should think of a way." ”
Zhou Li'er rubbed her forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to cry. Everyone has a life, no one can save anyone, and no one can help anyone. ”
Xiao Shi's face stiffened when he heard this, only to feel that she was deliberately perfunctory.
She stood up suddenly, and snorted coldly: "I shouldn't have listened to my mother's words and married into your Zhou family." ”
According to Zhou Li'er's temper, after hearing this, she will never be easy, and she will definitely give her a good look.
It's just that she is no longer the person she used to be.
The rumors outside were so ugly, and all the embarrassments and ugly things she had had had been told by people inside and outside the capital.
She can't hold her head up outside, and it's the same at home.
Zhou Li'er sighed lightly and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to say so ugly." Our Zhou family is a relative of the emperor and the country, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The eldest sister-in-law now thinks that the Zhou family is no good, so you can go back to your mother's house to live a quiet life. ”
Xiao's maiden family, although it is also noble, is a snob. At the beginning, when Zhou Shirao was showing off his power in the court, they were in a hurry all day long, wishing they could marry their daughter as soon as possible. The status of the Zhou family is unstable, and they are the first to clear up the relationship, especially the father of the Xiao family, who actually signed a joint name with others to impeach Zhou Shirao, lest the world be chaotic.
Xiao Shi heard this, her face was blue and white for a while, if she could go back to her mother's house, she would have returned early, but now she can't go anywhere, she can only stay in this Zhou family, and follow this family to die, one day is a day.
Zhou Li'er didn't want to fall into the well, she got up and left, bypassing the Xiao family directly and going to the courtyard.
There was a smell of medicine everywhere in the house, and it smelled very bad.
Zhou Lier went to her daughter's room and saw that she was looking down and drawing.
The whole house was in a commotion, but she was the only one who could calm down.
Naturally, she was able to calm down, because her ears could not hear.
Zhou Lier walked over and hugged her gently, but accidentally messed up her painting.
The daughter pouted aggrievedly, as if she was going to cry.
Zhou Li'er looked at her dirty sleeves, and her heart was also sad.
If she could, she would also want to cry a lot, crying a lot.
……
Zhou Sarao struggled in his illness, counting the few lives he had left, and only thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, even if he died, he couldn't die in vain, and he had to pull a cushion.
He asked those people around him to think of ways and ideas for him, however, he didn't know that at this moment, the people who could still speak in the palace were basically people with bad intentions. Where will they give him any ideas.
Zhou Shirao lived on the hospital bed, living like a year. And Zhou Youchen has already made up his mind to eradicate Prince Rong's forces together.
Meng Xilan can come up with sufficient evidence, and there are countless evidences.
The courtiers were like a school of fish smelling fish, and they all surrounded at once, and they were busy impeaching Zhou Shirao, as if they wanted to bite the few remaining flesh and blood on his body little by little.
Zhou Youchen looked at the mountains of twists and turns piled up every day, and felt a little tired in his heart.
He only kept all the excerpts of impeachment and went to Meng Xilan's side to rest alone.
Zhou Youchen pillowed on Meng Xilan's lap, looked at the starry sky outside the window and said, "People's hearts have changed so quickly. Zhou Shirao is not dead yet, they can't wait. ”
Meng Xilan gently rubbed his shoulders for him, and said quietly: "They also have to do this." The trees fell and scattered, Zhou Shirao's scene is finished, and it is also right for people to go to tea and cool. ”
Zhou Youchen groaned slightly, stared at her with light in his eyes and said, "When I get old and useless, are they the same." ”
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes to look at him, and saw a slight chill in his eyes, so she said: "The emperor is only thirty-six years old this year, and he is in the prime of life. When the emperor is old, those ministers who have done good things have already buried their necks in the loess. ”
Zhou Youchen smiled slightly when he heard this, and stopped talking.
Meng Xilan gently hugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, the emperor and his concubines still have immortality." When we are old and useless, Changsheng will protect the emperor. ”
Zhou Youchen shook her hand back, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The stars shine brightly in the sky, beautiful and bright.
The night was getting deeper, and Wuwu still didn't feel sleepy, Xiang Ming came over to add candles and said, "Your Highness, it's not early, you go to bed early." ”
Hearing this, Wu Wu shook his head slightly, just raised his cheeks and looked out the window.
Ever since the queen mother mentioned that she should be married, her heart has been unstable.
Xiangming has been with her for several years and knows her heart.
"Your Highness, if you really don't want to marry someone else, you can tell the truth to the Queen Mother and say that the person you like is Young Master Yun."
Worry-free was slightly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and glanced at her: "You girl, why are you talking nonsense." ”
In this palace, there are so many pairs of eyes and so many ears, and she talks so nonsense, if she lets others listen, it will be troublesome.
Xiangming knew that her master was worried, so she hurriedly said, "Master, even the eunuch who is on the watch is going to take a nap at this hour." Don't worry......"
Carefree hugged his knees and whispered, "I can't say that to the queen mother." Brother Yun is also my brother, we are brother and sister......"
Although she is not related by blood, she is Meng Xilan's nominal daughter and Meng Qingyun's nominal cousin.
Xiangming thought differently from her, she shook her head and said, "Master, the slave maid thinks that the master must tell the truth to Niangniang." ”
Niangniang loves the county lord so much, how can she be willing to marry far away. It's better to kiss and kiss.
The county lord marrying into the Meng family is equivalent to marrying into the mother's family, which is the most comfortable and appropriate.
Wu Wu didn't listen to her persuasion, but still shook his head.
She does like Brother Yun, but she doesn't like him to the point where she doesn't want to marry. She just loved to be with them, talking, chatting, just like when she was a kid, nothing changed.
It's a pity that she hasn't changed, but Brother Yun and the crown prince have all changed. They became adults, one of them stayed away from her, and the other ignored her.
She silently calculated in her heart that Changsheng hadn't spoken to her for three days.
She wanted to ask him what was wrong? But he didn't even give a chance, stingy and childish.
Carefree doesn't know how he provoked him, and he doesn't know what he did wrong? Anyway, everything in front of me is like a ball of threads, tangled together over and over again, and I can't make sense of it.
At the same time, there is another person who is in the same troubles and depression as her.
Changsheng held the book in his hand, and he didn't turn over a single article for nearly half an hour.
Xiao Changzi secretly dozed off behind him, and when he saw that his master really couldn't see it, he said, "Your Highness, you might as well rest your eyes." ”
Changsheng came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and continued to look at the page of the book: "Don't talk too much, I still have to continue reading." ”
When Xiao Changzi heard this, he secretly complained in his heart. Who knows, the master was in the same position again, and he stayed for a while, but he still didn't move.
"Your Highness, if you look at it like this, we won't be able to finish it at dawn."
Changsheng was slightly annoyed, threw the book to the ground and said, "Why are you talking so much today?" Isn't it itchy to find punishment! ”
Xiao Changzi hurriedly knelt down and put the book away, carefully put it away, and said, "Oh, Your Highness, this is the book of sages, and you can't throw it away." ”
He took the book with both hands, Changsheng sighed softly, and leaned back.
That night, he didn't even read half a word, and his mind was like a mess of mud and confusion.
It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, but he doesn't dare to sleep...... He was afraid that he would have such a ridiculous dream again.
Sanssouci is his older sister, his most precious and favorite sister. He couldn't miss her like that, absolutely not!
Xiao Changzi knew what the master was upset about, but he couldn't talk too much. He's just a minion, and he's still a rootless minion, and he doesn't understand that kind of thing.
