The night is dark, the moon is accompanied by the stars, such a quiet and beautiful night.

Meng Xilan had no intention of sleeping, so she only let Zhulu set up the chessboard, and she held the white and black seeds in the palm of her hand. Playing chess with yourself and passing the time.

Although it was Kuroko and Shiroko who went down together, it was obvious that Kuroko had the upper hand.

Baozhu brought ginger tea and handed it over carefully. "Niangniang, someone from the palace is here."

Meng Xilan pinched the sunspot in her hand and asked the little eunuch to come in and speak.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left Miss Shen Dan in the dormitory."

This sentence made everyone's faces change slightly.

Zhulu frowned and looked at Meng Xilan, but Meng Xilan bent the corners of her mouth and slowly put the black chess pieces in her hand on the chessboard. This is the last move, and in this way, black wins.

Seeing that Niangniang didn't speak, Zhulu waved her hand and motioned for the little eunuch who had passed the word to go out and wait. The palace maid outside will give him a reward.

Meng Xilan put the remaining chess pieces in her hand back, and looked up at Zhu Lu, her face was very ugly.

"What are you worried about?"

Zhu Lu lowered her head when she heard this: "A person like Shen Dan is really not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Meng Xilan hooked the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and seemed to smile: "Changsheng is not that kind of child, don't worry, the current Shen Dan can't get close to him." ”

Her own son, she knows best. Even if Shen Dan took the initiative to give her a hug, he wouldn't look at her a few more times.

Worry-free in his heart, like the early morning sun, bright and warm. She was a ray of light in his heart, and he wouldn't have forgotten her so soon.

Zhulu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She didn't know what she was worried about.

After Baozhu stepped forward to clean up the chessboard, the ginger tea also cooled.

Meng Xilan took a sip of ginger tea and said lightly: "Right now, the palace is clean." But there are a lot of troubles outside the palace. ”

When Zhulu heard this, she knew that Niangniang was worried about the Cangzhou Rebellion and the threat of the Sixteen Turkic Tribes.

"Niangniang, why don't you persuade the emperor?"

Meng Xilan took another sip of ginger tea, shook her head and said, "According to the emperor's character, this battle must be fought." ”

It's just that once Zhou Youchen decided to lead his troops to the battle, it was the beginning of Beiyan's belly and back to the enemy.

The real crisis is coming...... She knew very well in her heart that if Zhou Youchen couldn't kill Zhou Youchen within three months, and then the class teacher would return to the court. She'd have to plan for the worst! A kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day...... At that time, she had to start preparing to move the capital and prepare for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony.

Meng Xilan was silent, and Zhulu silently retreated to the outer hall.

Unbeknownst to him, another person hurriedly came outside the door.

"Aunt Zhulu, someone from outside the palace came to report that Gonggong Gao was going to enter the palace."

At this hour, the palace gate has already been locked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Zhulu felt strange in her heart. Xiao Lizi is the person who knows the rules the most, how can he act so recklessly?

She turned around again and told Meng Xilan about it.

"Let him come in, and take the waist card of the main palace."

In the entire palace, there are only two people who have the right to let people in at this hour. One is the emperor and the other is the queen.

Zhulu took the waist card and hurried to the palace gate to receive people.

Who knows, Gao Fuli was wearing civilian clothes, and he didn't even change into palace clothes, his expression was anxious, his shoes and hats were not right, and he looked in a hurry and very anxious.

Seeing this, Zhulu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gao Fuli glanced at her, and then looked around with the corner of his eye. "Talk as you go."

When he came back with this appearance, he entered the palace late at night, something big must have happened......

Meng Xilan had just given him an errand two days ago, asking him to inquire about the movements of the Sixteen Turkic Divisions, as well as the worry-free recent situation.

It is said that Carefree is now in Liuzhou City, but the entourage guards around her are all from Tudu, and their news is blocked to death.

Meng Xilan didn't expect that Gao Fuli would find some eyebrows after only a few days of investigation.

Unexpectedly, Gao Welfare found out one thing, no, strictly speaking, someone should have deliberately leaked the news to him.

If this news is true, it is the key to the society of Beiyan Jiangshan, so he can't help but report it.

"Mother, the slave has heard something...... Her Royal Highness seems to be pregnant. Gao Fuli said this word by word, and said it in a solemn tone.

As soon as his words fell, he heard only a clang.

When I looked up, I realized that the tea bowl in the master's hand had accidentally fallen off and fell firmly to the ground.

Meng Xilan's whole person was stunned, she stared at her eyes, her eyes were dark, as if she was looking at Gao Fuli, and she seemed to be looking behind him through his body.

Zhulu was also taken aback, and she repeatedly confirmed: "Is this news true?" Where did you get that from? ”

Gao Fuli pondered for a moment before he said: "The slave doesn't dare to guarantee whether this news is true, but the person who delivered the news is indeed from the city of Liuzhou. The minions have carefully confirmed......"

Meng Xilan's eyes turned slightly when she heard this, and her heart seemed to be tightly held in the palm of her hand and pinched fiercely.

Worry-free pregnancy! It was the last thing she wanted to see.

The child in her womb is the blood of Tudu and the blood of the Turks. Needless to say, this child came at an inopportune time, which would put her in a dilemma.

Her nails slammed against the table with a slight sound as her fingers trembled.

"You bring the messenger, and this palace will inquire in person." She slowed down and slowed, silent for a while, before she spoke.

Gao Fuli hesitated: "Niangniang, those people are all fleeing......"

Meng Xilan frowned: "What?" Did you do it to them? ”

She knew his methods, and it was difficult for those who fell into his hands to survive intact.

Gao Fuli hurriedly shook his head: "The slave didn't act without permission. They were just women who did chores, and there were children...... Mother, although the slave is ruthless, the slave never touches the child! ”

The reason why he felt that this news was true was because those people were all people in the city of Liuzhou. There are even people who have seen Tu Du ride a horse with no worries, all the way to the mansion to settle down. Can they still describe the appearance of Her Royal Highness......

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said, "In that case, you will bring them into the palace early tomorrow morning." You hold the waist card of the main palace, no matter what reason you find, you have to bring people in for me. ”

Gao Fuli knelt on his knees when he heard this, and kowtowed: "Yes, the slave obeys." ”

Meng Xilan clenched her hands unconsciously, she bit her lip hard, and her headache was extremely indescribable.

Early the next morning, Gao Fuli found an appropriate excuse and led one of them into the palace.

The man was in her early forties, well-dressed, fair-skinned, and her features were well-mannered, and she looked like she would have been a beauty when she was young.

Meng Xilan almost didn't sleep all night last night, she was so worried that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

She stared at the woman's face, and then looked and looked, and then her gaze slowly moved down to her hand.

"Where are you from?"

The woman replied honestly, "If you go back to your mother, the slave and maid are from Haizhou City. ”

Haizhou is the smallest city in the six states.

"And what do you do?"

"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is an embroidery girl."

Meng Xilan slapped the table heavily when she heard this: "You didn't tell the truth, look at your own hands, you are clearly not an embroiderer." Look at your own hands, so white, not even a callus, you are not a person who does rough work. ”

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and then her whole body stiffened, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

Gao Fuli's face changed slightly, with a cold face, he looked at her and said, "If you dare to tell one more lie, you will never see your daughter again." ”

The woman was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and after kowtowing, she told the truth: "Hui Niangniang, I really came from Haizhou City." However, I am not an embroidered girl, I am the concubine of the official's family, because the city of Liuzhou was caught, the lord lost his official position, but he refused to let out of the mansion, and was beaten half to death by the Turks...... With no support, we had no choice but to return to the capital and go to distant relatives. ”

"It's nonsense, how did you know about Her Royal Highness the princess's pregnancy?"

Gao Fu pushed her shoulder and continued to ask.

"Yes, Your Highness...... Your Highness Told Me ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Meng Xilan tightened her eyebrows and looked at her, I don't know where she came from and what her purpose is?

When the woman saw that everyone was staring at her, she only explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that when Wuwu was placed in Liuzhou City, she wanted to get in touch with the capital. But helplessly, Tu Du did not allow her to do this.

She didn't have anyone around her who could speak for her. So, she had to find another way.

There are many people who serve her in the mansion, and most of them are former official ladies. Carefree chose the woman from among them. Because she has relatives in the capital.

Wuwu gave her silver to make a coil, and also told her that after she returned to the capital, let her go to a teahouse with high welfare and go to find high welfare.

Meng Xilan's heart was shocked, it turned out that this was the news that Wuwu deliberately passed on to her.

In that case, why she did it must have made sense.

……

Due to the situation of internal and external troubles in the court, Zhou Youchen's mood has always been gloomy. After exterminating the remnants of the Song family, he thoroughly investigated several ministers in the court, all of whom were implicated in the Song family.

The disaster of the Song family is just the beginning.

Among the six departments, there are more than 20 people who have been implicated because of the Song family.

Most of them were not high in official positions and were not very old, and it was later discovered that most of them were protégés of the Song family. When the Song family was still in power, they were all taken care of by the Song family. Now, the Song family is no longer dusty, and they are all unable to protect themselves.

The imperial court is about to send troops, and now is a sensitive time. But Zhou Youchen was still ruthless, and for ten days, there was a bloody storm in the capital that everyone was afraid of.

The news from outside the palace came to the palace, and it also made people panic.
