Zhou Youchen heard these words, and his heart was extremely tormented.

He was a little anxious, a little panicked, and a little painful.

After so many years of companionship, he knows her temperament very well, and once she decides something, she will do it to the end.

"Are you really going to leave me?"

Zhou Youchen asked again with a pleading tone.

Meng Xilan glanced at him, lowered her eyes and said, "I'll come back, when it's time to come back, when you need me." ”

Maybe her decision was stupid and reckless, but now, for her, leaving here is her only wish.

When everything has settled, Meng Xilan wants to find a little respite for herself, she needs to live quietly......

The light in Zhou Youchen's eyes flickered and dimmed, the hand holding her wrist tightened slightly, he looked straight at her, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, but in the end he compromised.

He couldn't bear to be strong on her, and he couldn't bear to make her sad, he had promised to give her everything she wanted, and he would do what he said.

The moment Zhou Youchen slowly let go of her wrist, Meng Xilan knew that her wish had come true.

"Meng Xilan, if you lie to me, I will hate you for the rest of my life."

Zhou Youchen left with a hurt look on his face, his slightly collapsed shoulders, revealing his state of mind at this moment.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing heard it well outside, hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of their master, and said with a cry: "Master, why are you suffering? ”

Coming to this point, everything is complete, why? Why is the master leaving the palace now?

Meng Xilan saw them crying and crying, and smiled helplessly: "If you want to stay, then stay ......."

"Nope! Where you are, master, we are there! "Sadness is sadness, surprise is surprise, but the loyalty of the two remains the same.

Gao Fuli, who knelt on the side and was stunned, did not say anything.

Meng Xilan glanced at him: "Xiao Lizi, you stay, stay by the emperor's side, take care of him for me, and help him beware of the villains with bad intentions around him." ”

Gao Fuli was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes filled with tears: "Master, do you really want to leave?" ”

Meng Xilan sighed softly: "If you continue to stay here, I will be suffocated." ”

It was night, in the imperial study, Chang Hai waited for the emperor's decree.

Tomorrow is the day when the concubines and concubines leave the palace early in the morning, but everyone has a place to go and a place to go. Only Meng Xilan has not yet fallen.

In the end, she was the concubine of the first emperor, so naturally she could not continue to stay in the palace.

Zhou Youchen personally picked up the pen, simply wrote a few sentences, and then covered the jade seal.

"Concubine Lan, Meng, promoted to the concubine, from now on, move to Fahua Temple to lead the cultivation for a period of three years, Qin this."

Chang Hai swept lightly with his eyes, only to feel surprised, he thought that the emperor would let her go home from the palace, but he didn't expect it to be sent to Fahua Temple......

Chang Hai immediately frowned: "Your Majesty, this ...... Concubine Lan, no, Concubine Lan, but your great benefactor. ”

Zhou Youchen was silent.

If she is allowed to go home, she may not really come back.

The sun slowly rises in the east, and a new day begins.

Meng Xilan was ordered to leave the palace, but Zhou Youchen did not send someone to see her off, but only let her leave quietly.

Meng Zhenglu and Meng Xizhao, who got the news early in the morning, were waiting outside the palace gate, and when they saw her carriage driving out, they hurriedly greeted her.

Meng Xilan got out of the car to say goodbye to them, Meng Zhenglu couldn't bear to look at her, lowered his head and said, "Your grandmother is waiting for you in Fahua Temple, saying that she is going to fast for three months." ”

Meng Xilan nodded with a smile: "With my grandmother with me, my father and brother can rest assured." ”

Meng Zhenglu sighed meaningfully: "For the sake of this family, I have delayed you for a lifetime, and my father feels uncomfortable......

There were tears in his eyes, but he couldn't hold back.

Meng Xilan held his hand: "Father, don't be sad, this is my own decision, it has nothing to do with others, and I don't have to worry about others." The father is now an important minister of the auxiliary state, the emperor is still young, the father and brother have a long way to go, the daughter can only do so much, in the future, the daughter will pray in front of the Buddha every day, pray for the blessing of the Buddha, God favors, our family is safe and tidy. ”

"Hey, got it." After listening to his daughter's words, Meng Zhenglu hurriedly turned his back before wiping his eyes.

A handful of old people are naturally reluctant to shed tears in front of their juniors.

Meng Xizhao's eyes were also red: "Lan'er, take care of yourself!" ”

"Well, brother should also take care, don't be too strict with Brother Yun, he is still young...... If you are free, let my sister-in-law take Brother Yun to see me, I miss him! ”

After all the words that should be explained, Meng Xilan returned to the carriage and lifted the curtain to wave goodbye to them.

Meng Zhenglu and Meng Xi watched the carriage drift away, and their hearts were melancholy.

"Dad, it would be nice if we could keep Lan'er."

After a while, Meng Xizhao said lightly, as if he felt that this was inappropriate.

Meng Zhenglu said solemnly: "You don't understand Lan'er's thoughts, only this is the best arrangement." ”

The new emperor ascended the throne and had too many things to do. What's more, Zhou Youchen also has an ambitious Zhou Shirao by his side, with a strong enemy on his side, he must focus on political affairs and govern the country diligently in order to keep his position.

As soon as her daughter leaves like this, the emperor will follow and concentrate more on political affairs and national conditions. And she will not be used by people with intentions and become a weakness to attack Zhou Youchen.

The daughter's mind is meticulous, taking one step and thinking three steps, she must have made a perfect plan.

Zhou Youchen stayed in the imperial study angrily, looked at Gao Fuli who came to talk back, and said coldly: "She just left." ”

Gao Fuli lowered his eyes and said quietly: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the master's carriage has already left the palace." Before my master left, there were a few words, and the slave told him to the long-lived master. ”

Zhou Youchen clenched his fists with both hands: "She asked you to say?" Why didn't she come and tell me personally? ”

"Hooray...... The master said, let you take good care of your body and take care of the government and politics...... A lifetime is so long, three years will soon pass, and when the plum blossoms bloom three times, it will be the day she returns to the palace to meet. ”

Gao Welfare relayed the words of his master to him word for word.

When Zhou Youchen heard this, he first smiled coldly, and then frowned.

He looked at the golden splendor of the hall, but his heart was empty and uncomfortable.

He has come to this point, and all he wants most is her, but when he has everything, he loses her.

What a ruthless woman! Just go, be ruthless than him!

……

The carriage slowly drove to Zhengyang Street, and the lively sounds around it began to pour into my ears.

The shouting, the shouting, the children's laughter and crying, the adults' quarrels and quarrels, all kinds of voices were mixed together, noisy and annoying.

Zhulu sighed secretly, only to feel bored. Who knows, Meng Xilan, who closed her eyes and recuperated, showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

She hadn't seen such a bustle for a long time.

It would be a blessing to be able to live so lively and noisy. Worry about some small things about sesame mung beans every day, but you can rely on your family to accompany you, which seems to be calculating, but in fact you are content and happy.

Meng Xilan sighed contentedly, only to feel like a bird flying out of a cage, full of lightness and comfort.

Fahua Temple is far away on the outskirts of the western city, and it is three days and three nights away from the capital.

Walking all the way, I stopped and stayed at Fahua Temple, and it was already five days later in the evening.

It's a remote and deserted place.

Mrs. Meng was anxiously waiting to see her precious granddaughter, but when she saw her, she couldn't stop crying.

The grandparents and grandchildren will inevitably be sad.

Old Lady Meng looked at Meng Xilan carefully, and only said, "I see that your complexion is not very good, and you will have to make up for it in the future." ”

Meng Xilan said with a smile: "I can eat a vegetarian fast like my grandmother, and I don't need to make up for it." ”

In fact, Jiao Changqing has already told Zhulu Zhuqing, and now that her body is already weak, it is better to eat a light and mild diet.

Fahua Temple is also the first time to welcome the lady from the palace, although it is the position of the concubine, but it was also the master of the palace, and I heard that it is not small.

The abbot left her a small courtyard, which was quiet and quiet, with a total of four wings.

Everything in the yard is plain and plain.

Old Mrs. Meng looked at it and rubbed her temples, and frowned: "Isn't this too bitter?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "I'm here to practice, extravagant and wasteful, wouldn't it make people laugh?" Let's follow the rules of the temple. ”

She just wants to live such a light and light life, if she pays attention to pomp and luxury, she doesn't have to go out of the palace.

Meng Xilan packed up all the clothes brought from the palace, and only wore a simple robe, with a hat and a hat, just like the sister-in-law in the temple.

Every day when the sun rises and the sun sets, her ears are often accompanied by the sound of chanting, and gradually, her heart begins to calm down little by little.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing took care of her food, clothing and daily life, but they didn't cause any trouble to others.

Meng Xilan would sometimes say a word for several days, unless it was when chanting the Buddha.

Zhulu had never seen her master like this, and she was secretly a little worried in her heart.

If the master really moved his Zen heart, cut off the earthly edge, and stayed in this desolate temple for the rest of his life, how would it be good?

Xu Yes, his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't even listen to his hands.

When the tea was poured, it overflowed.

Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that her eyes were slightly confused, so she said: "Buddhism is a pure place, which can make people six roots pure, why did you become panicked?" ”

Zhulu had no intention of hiding it from her, so she had to tell the truth.

Meng Xilan seemed to be smiling when she heard this, and pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "As the saying goes, sincerity is spiritual." Since I have come to this Fahua Temple to practice, if I am not sincere enough, I am afraid that I will neglect the Buddha. So, you can rest assured, this is not a palace, we don't have to guard against anyone everywhere, and we don't have to live with trepidation. ”

The simpler something is, the more rare it is. Meng Xilan really hoped that they could see this earlier.
