Chapter 506: Stalemate (3)

Meng Xilan laughed angrily when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, revealing a trace of curved arc, which looked unpredictable. And her eyes, as black as a deep pool, couldn't hide the anger and fierceness in her heart.

"It's good to be young! Ignorant and fearless! ”

She said this softly, making Wei Feng's back stiffen involuntarily.

He didn't know why he felt strange. It's just that the feeling is real.

Meng Xilan took a step forward and walked forward slowly: "Summer is about to pass in a flash, the four seasons of the year, come and go in a hurry, and never stop for anyone." ”

Wei Feng saw that she had something to say, so he followed again.

"The autumn scenery in the palace is indeed pleasant. Please enjoy the ......."

There was a hint of provocation in his gaze.

By this time next year, she may not still have this blessing.

Meng Xilan said lightly: "General Wei, I hope we can meet again next year." ”

is also a pun, in the coming year, he may not still be alive, arrogant and sarcastic in front of her.

Summer rain and autumn wind, I don't know how many flowers and leaves can be blown off, he is just one of them.

The palace gate, which had been closed for two months, was opened again due to Meng Xilan's arrival.

When the palace door opened, the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard were all panicked.

"The Queen's Mother...... Be...... The Queen's ......"

Then, all of them ran in a panic, running in the same direction.

Wei Feng frowned coldly, only to feel that they all looked like crazy people.

"Queen Mother, it looks like you've scared them all."

Meng Xilan ignored it, just held Zhu Lu's hand and walked into the hospital.

They staggered to the inner sanctum to inform their masters.

Song Qing'er had just coaxed the princess to sleep, and she was in a daze alone, passing the time.

When she heard Meng Xilan coming, a spirit stood up, her body swaying, as if she was unstable.

The palace maid helped her up in time: "Niangniang, be dizzy carefully." ”

"Niangniang, it's okay now, you look forward to it day and night, and finally look forward to the queen's mother."

"Mother, slaves and maids are ready to ...... Dress up ......."

Song Qing'er pushed their hands away, couldn't care about anything, didn't care about anything, and ran out directly to meet Meng Xilan with this disheveled appearance.

She walked in such a hurry that she was almost running.

Meng Xilan looked around, and there was depression everywhere.

Most of the flowers in the courtyard are withered, and the surrounding area is overgrown with jagged weeds, which looks messy.

Song Qing'er ran out wearing a middle coat and a cloak.

She stared wide-eyed and looked at Meng Xilan fixedly, as if she wanted to see through her whole person.

Her frightened and uneasy appearance fell in Wei Feng's eyes, which made him slightly stunned.

However, he soon realized something, grimaced, and turned to look away.

Meng Xilan looked at Song Qing'er, with a complicated and indescribable look in her eyes, her appearance was very similar to her previous life, the self who lost everything almost overnight.

Song Qing'er stood stiffly in place, not moving or speaking, just looking at Meng Xilan in a daze.

After the mutation in the palace, the first person she thought of was Meng Xilan.

She is the queen and the biological mother of the crown prince, and she will not condone all this. She'll definitely find a way.

Who knows, after waiting day after day, the situation in the palace is getting worse and worse, and some people can't help but start to suspect that the emperor who drove the expedition has died?

She was afraid of death, and she was anxious to die, and she only hoped that someone would give her an explanation.

"Niangniang, you have to salute......" The palace maid who rushed over put her cloak on her body and knelt down to say goodbye.

Song Qing'er's eyes widened, without even blinking, and fell straight to her knees on the ground.

She opened her mouth, unable to speak, as if she was choking on something.

Seeing that she had something to say, Meng Xilan glanced at Wei Feng behind her from the corner of her eye, and then secretly handed her a look.

Now is not the time to talk nonsense!

Song Qing'er is so smart, how can she not know what she means?

She immediately bit her lower lip and lowered her head and sobbed.

Meng Xilan deliberately sighed lightly: "General Wei, it's better for you to avoid danger in this kind of scene." She is a lady in the palace, how can she see people like this? ”

Wei Feng frowned and glanced at her, and suddenly heard the cry coming from behind him, but he didn't press it, and nodded slowly: "Don't worry, my subordinates will take people out." The two mothers are so happy to catch up with the old ......"

Meng Xilan silently watched him leave, and the moment the palace gate closed again, her face suddenly became gloomy.

She gently shook off Zhu Lu's hand, walked quickly in front of Song Qing'er, and looked at her condescendingly.

"What are you crying about? Hurry up, this palace has something important to tell you! ”

Now is not the time to cry.

Song Qing'er raised her tear-stained face, and after being stunned, she asked, "Queen...... You tell the truth to your concubine...... Is the emperor already dead? ”

Meng Xilan's eyes sank, and she only heard the palace maids behind her crying, and shouted, "What are you crying about?" Who said the emperor was gone? The emperor is doing well, and he is preparing to move back to Beijing! ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

When Song Qing'er heard this, she dared to cry.

Meng Xilan lost patience and said, "This palace can't stay here for long." ”

Song Qing'er nodded again and again, wiped the tears on her face, and let the palace maids help her up.

Although it was daytime, there was not even a candle lit in the house, and it was gloomy.

Meng Xilan frowned and said, "Light the candles and make the room brighter." ”

Song Qing'er was alone and slowly calmed down.

"Niangniang, Chu Jingchuan really wants to usurp power?"

Meng Xilan looked at her coldly: "The matter has come to this, do you still have luck with everything now?" ”

Song Qing'er's lips trembled, "How can this be?" What shall we do? What about the kids? ”

Seeing her mention the child, Meng Xilan slowly said, "Where is my sister?" ”

"She's taking a nap...... She was scared, and so was I. ”

For the past two months, she has been struggling, enduring the endless fear.

"After the accident in the palace, do you have a way to get in touch with the outside of the palace?" Meng Xilan asked in a low voice.

Song Qing'er was slightly stunned, and shook her head again: "No...... The door of this palace has been closed, except for three meals a day, nothing can be brought in or sent out. ”

If she had a way to contact the outside, she would have figured out a way to plan for her daughter early in the morning.

Meng Xilan had expected it, but she still asked her more.

"Niangniang, what should the concubine do? Princess, she's still so young......"

Song Qing'er was on guard against Meng Xilan, but when it came to a critical moment, she was still the only one she could think of and the person she dared to believe.

Meng Xilan said in a low tone: "Right now, there is nothing to do in this palace, only saving your life is the most important thing." If necessary, you want to prepare for the worst......"

She groaned slightly, leaving only half of her words behind.

At this time, it is too straightforward, and it is also a kind of irritation and harm.

Song Qing'er closed her eyes and said, "The concubine doesn't want to die, and the concubine doesn't believe that the emperor will be defeated!" ”

She was not yet thirty years old, and it was difficult for her to accept the chaotic situation in front of her.

"You can think so, but keep your mouth shut. This palace doesn't want anything to happen to my sister, she's still young, and she still needs your care. ”

Song Qing'er bit her lip and was silent, she still hasn't figured it out, why did Chu Jingchuan do this? Why did he rebel?

She thought about it, suddenly met Meng Xilan's bright eyes, and said softly: "It's all because of you?" Right? ”

Song Qing'er said something almost inaudible, causing Meng Xilan to frown.

"Queen Mother, Chu Jingchuan seized the palace and usurped the throne, all because of you, isn't it?"

Song Qing'er became a little emotional, she didn't care about her position, grabbed Meng Xilan's arm, and said secretly: "It's all because of you, it's all you!" ”

Seeing that she suddenly started to go crazy, Zhulu didn't say a word, and gave her a heavy slap directly.

"Queen Mother, I came to see you with kindness, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Song Qing'er was stunned, but she slowly calmed down.

Meng Xilan looked at her and said, "If you think that I still have that ability to let Chu Jingchuan seek to usurp the throne for me, it's really ironic." ”

"I'm just one of the reasons, but not the whole story. Men are innate in their ambitions, and they are obsessed with power, just as they are obsessed with women. ”

After listening to her words, Song Qing'er gradually came to her senses. "Niangniang, I'm sorry, the concubine was crazy just now......"

Meng Xilan took a deep breath, stood up, and took a few steps in the room.

"Hongu came here today just to let you know that we are all people in the same boat now. You and I must save our lives and our children. Maybe before long, you'll be faced with a choice, a very difficult one. I hope that you will make the right decision when the time comes, not the most impulsive one. ”

She didn't want to instigate her for anything, just a kind reminder.

Song Qing'er's eyes were full of bitterness: "I just want the princess to be safe." ”

Meng Xilan's eyes sank when she heard this, and she sighed lightly: "Very good, only if we are not greedy, can we keep the people we want to keep." ”

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

After a while, my sister woke up and was picked up by the palace maid.

Meng Xilan hadn't seen her for two months, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile.

"Say hello to the royal lady." She came over to salute with a milky voice, and her little face was flushed.

What a lovely child.

Meng Xilan rarely smiled, stretched out her hands, and hugged her gently.

"Imperial Mother, can I hang out with you?"

Meng Xilan changed her tone and coaxed her, "Wait a few days, okay?" Go back and ask the emperor to make you a few new dolls and send them over to relieve your boredom. ”

New dolls? The girl smiled happily and nodded again and again.

Meng Xilan looked at Song Qing'er again: "Take good care of the princess." ”

Song Qing'er saw that she wanted to leave, so she asked, "Niangniang, when will the concubine be able to walk around the palace?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head.

Song Qing'er's eyes darkened again when she heard this.

Meng Xilan looked at the two of them and sighed softly: "This palace will come to see you again." ”

Song Qing'er hugged her daughter and nodded tearfully.

She will still have a way, otherwise, she will not be free to move around the palace.

Meng Xilan walked out of the palace gate and found that Wei Feng was no longer there, only his subordinates.

"Queen Mother, please go back to the palace, the general is waiting for you."

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised when she heard this.

Chu Jingchuan is here? She hadn't seen him in two days.

When she hurriedly returned to Cining Palace, the scene in front of her made her a little surprised.

Chu Jingchuan was actually asleep, his expression was tired, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Meng Xilan didn't speak, just glanced at Zhu Lu and asked her to retreat first.

Who knows, Zhu Lu stood still, staring at Chu Jingchuan for a while before retreating silently.

Her eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if she wanted to do something.

Meng Xilan sat down on the chair opposite the bed, through a plain curtain, looking at him asleep,

I don't know how long it took, her eyes were a little sore, so she leaned back, squinted a little, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

When she opened her eyes again, Chu Jingchuan on the other side was no longer there.

Meng Xilan subconsciously looked around and found that Chu Jingchuan was eating at the table next to her.

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

At the moment, any small matter may be a very important intelligence clue.

After Chu Jingchuan drank a bowl of porridge, he spoke: "I really fell asleep just now." ”

Meng Xilan nodded slightly.

Chu Jingchuan rinsed his mouth and asked again, "Why don't you do it?" ”

What he said had no beginning or end. "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Jingchuan stretched out his finger and tapped the table.

Meng Xilan followed his gaze and found that there was actually a knife on the plate containing the fruit.

Her eyes flashed, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I don't understand." ”

"This knife was deliberately left behind. I woke up and found out, you don't see it for no reason. ”

Meng Xilan's tone was cold: "What if you see it?" What if you don't see it? You think I'm going to pick it up and rush at you! ”

She really didn't know where the knife came from, but it must have been someone close to her.

Ever since the last accident, her bedroom has been thoroughly searched, not to mention a knife, and not even a piece of hard bamboo can be found.

"I'm not going to ask where you got this stuff from, but I'll take it."

Chu Jingchuan did not pursue it, which made Meng Xilan breathe a sigh of relief.

"I just saw that you are very tired, so it is better to stay in the palace and rest tonight."

To be on the safe side, she quickly changed the subject.

Chu Jingchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Are you seducing me?" ”

Meng Xilan suddenly smiled when she heard this, her smile was as warm as a spring breeze.

"Chu Jingchuan, between you and me, do you still need those low-level tricks?"

They know each other too well, so they don't need those false temptations.

Chu Jingchuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, then I'll stay tonight." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to her side, his palm lightly resting on her shoulder, and a smile in his eyes, as if he had another meaning.

Meng Xilan looked up at him with a calm face, as if she didn't care at all, and she didn't mind at all.
