The confrontation between Fang Cai and Zhou Youlin has used up all her strength.

Meng Xilan weakly grabbed Zhou Youchen's shoulder, and at this moment, she only had the strength to stand by relying on him.

Zhou Youchen didn't think about it when he heard this, so he picked her up by the waist, he glared at Zhou Youlin opposite, looked at him with a hideous gaze, and said word by word: "Fourth brother, I originally wanted to save your life, because you are more valuable than a bastard like Zhou Youwen." ”

As soon as he gave an order, or a gesture, the guards outside shot him to death.

"The Emperor's ......"

Meng Xilan leaned on his arms, never looked at Zhou Youlin again, and just said softly: "Spare his life, let him continue to be a living dead." ”

Even if she didn't look at him, she could guess what the expression on Zhou Youlin's face was.

He must have looked defeated, his eyes red, his face stiff, like a man who had completely lost everything. That's right, today he lost everything, those things that were lost three years ago, he lost again today. Status, identity, self-esteem, pride, affection, friendship, freedom......

Zhou Youchen didn't expect her to say this, he looked down at her panicked eyebrows, and lowered his voice: "You still want to spare his life?" ”

"Hmm." Meng Xilan didn't want to say more, but responded softly.

Zhou Youchen hesitated slightly, but still shook his head: "This time, I won't listen to you anymore." ”

He gently pressed her forehead with his chin: "Close your eyes, don't look at anything, don't listen to anything." ”

Meng Xilan's body trembled slightly, and grabbed Zhou Youchen's clothes: "Don't kill him...... The emperor shouldn't have ruined his reputation for such a person. These are extraordinary times, please think twice about ......"

There is still a trace of reason in her mind, that is, Zhou Youlin has come to this point, and maybe he has made the worst plan in his heart.

Maybe he can't hurt anyone, but he can ruin the emperor's reputation! As a monarch, benevolence should come first in everything. If he ordered Zhou Youlin to be shot, those well-intentioned people who were waiting for the opportunity would definitely make a big fuss in the DPRK.

Meng Xilan's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Zhou Youlin to hear clearly.

She had just escaped from her hands, and she was almost dying, but at this moment, she was still thinking about Zhou Youchen and worrying about him...... Her heart is full of him!

Why? Zhou Youlin's heart was full of surprise, when he was surrounded by the guards outside the door, he was not afraid, only full of surprise.

Jiao Changqing, who was originally paralyzed on the ground, gradually regained his strength, he stood up with the corner of the table, looked at Zhou Youlin in a daze, and shook his head again and again.

Today, he is stupid and evil.

Zhou Youchen hugged Meng Xilan and got into the carriage back to the palace, Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing did not follow together, they knew that something bad had happened in the palace.

His expression was a little gloomy, he hugged Meng Xilan tightly, and his whole body was forceful: "You are scared to death, you know?" Meng Xilan, you make me scared, you know? ”

Even though she was completely out of danger, he still felt uneasy at the moment of holding her, as if he could lose her at any time, at any inadvertent moment.

Meng Xilan was a little out of breath when she was hugged by him, but she still didn't resist, just silently shed tears. She scared him, and she scared herself.

Perhaps, today is the real break, the break with all the bonds of the previous life. Perhaps, from now on, her nightmare will also disappear with it.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes tightly and slowly stopped her tears.

For the first time in so many years, she completely expressed her resentment to Zhou Youlin.

If he hadn't insisted on leaving her and selfishly separated her and Chu Jingchuan, maybe everything would have been different.

Meng Xilan still remembers how Chu Jingchuan looked at her with those eyes full of disappointment when she was about to withdraw from the marriage.

In this life, she has only really hurt one person, and that is Chu Jingchuan. The only person she is sorry for, the only person she has ever failed to.

After returning to the palace, Zhou Youlin personally examined Meng Xilan's wound, which was a very small but deep wound, which showed the sharpness of the dagger.

Zhou Youchen looked at her chest, faintly afraid.

When she took the medicine, Meng Xilan felt a little pain.

Zhu Lu said cautiously: "It's a big loss, if it doesn't leave a scar, it will be ugly." ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and was silent, even if she left a scar, she didn't care, but someone would care, and she cared more than her.

Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youchen's gloomy face and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't spread today's events, just act as if nothing happened." ”

It's not a good thing, and the fewer people who know, the better.

Zhou Youchen looked at her and said, "What about the fourth brother?" How long do you want to keep him? ”

Meng Xilan pillowed on his shoulder and said softly, "Wait until he is willing to cut himself off." ”

Zhou Youlin's life can only be ended by himself, and no one can interfere. Since he had the courage to design Jiao Changqing, he should have the courage to end his life.

Half an hour later, Jiao Changqing came to Cining Palace.

Because he had been kneeling for too long, he was still a little limp when he walked, his knees hurt a lot, and he had to be extra careful with every step.

He could have gone back to his house to recuperate for a few days, but he still came to the palace. He wanted to see Meng Xilan in person and see her face.

Zhu Lu asked him to come in and speak with a concerned face: "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Jiao Changqing glanced at her and asked, "Is Niangniang okay?" ”

Zhulu subconsciously shook her head. Niangniang seems to be fine, but she is a little mentally weak.

Meng Xilan watched Jiao Changqing limp in, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Master......"

Jiao Changqing knelt down slowly and pleaded with her.

Meng Xilan hurriedly asked Zhulu to help him up: "Master, why is this difficult? What should I do if I hurt my knee? ”

"Wechen is guilty of putting Niangniang in danger."

Meng Xilan sighed helplessly: "Master, what you say will only make me embarrassed and uncomfortable. It's all because of my old grudge with the prince, it's me who has burdened you and made you suffer. ”

She said these words sincerely, not just as hypocritical politeness.

"Niang Niang doesn't have to be so polite. Wechen just did what Wechen should do, but today Wechen was careless......"

Jiao Changqing has always been a moody person, and today is an exception. When Zhou Youlin pressed the dagger against his neck, he suddenly realized that he was so afraid of death...... He was so frightened that he couldn't even breathe and couldn't even think calmly.

When Zhou Youlin threatened him, he knew that Meng Xilan was going to be in danger. Because she will not abandon him, she will definitely agree to Zhou Youlin's request.

Over the years, Jiao Changqing has been trying his best to protect Meng Xilan from being harmed in the slightest. Although many times, he was overwhelmed by her stubbornness and persistence. But he still wants to protect her with all his might, just because he cares about her, and even has a little infatuation with her.

She was special, the most special woman he had ever met. Sometimes, she seemed to him like a mystery, an unsolvable mystery.

When Meng Xilan appeared in the palace, his heart was grateful. But behind this gratitude, there is a bit of happiness.

He was grateful for her presence and glad that she had appeared, because in this way, his life would be saved. Such a thought made Jiao Changqing feel a little ashamed.

It turns out that he has always prided himself on being high, but there are times when he is so greedy for life and afraid of death.

Meng Xilanzhi can confront Zhou Youlin face to face precisely because she is not afraid of him, let alone death.

Meng Xilan looked at the uncertain look on Jiao Changqing's face, thinking that he was still worried about himself, so he said, "It doesn't matter if I hurt me, is there a big problem with the master's neck?" ”

He had a medicine cloth wrapped around his neck, and a little blood could be faintly seen.

"Thank you for your concern, Weichen is fine."

Meng Xilan said quietly: "Master, go back and rest for a few days." The days to come are still long, and the mourning family can't live without your help. ”

She has always regarded him as her right-hand man, and if she hadn't been without him, she would not have survived in this palace until now.

"Yes, Wechen understands." When Jiao Changqing heard this, he only felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier.

He will always be by her side as long as she needs him.

……

Because of the daytime, Zhou Youchen's heart was in a mess, and he didn't have the heart to deal with political affairs at all.

Before it was dark, he came to Cining Palace,

He thought that Meng Xilan was resting, but he didn't know that she was drinking alone.

Zhou Youchen didn't let people report, just walked in quietly.

Meng Xilan sat with her back to him, slightly sideways, holding a gilt silver wine jug in her hand, and was pouring wine into the cup.

He frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but saw that Meng Xilan raised his wine glass and poured all the wine in his hand on the ground.

"Murong Qiao, this glass of wine can be regarded as a shock to you. I kept my promise to keep Zhou Youlin alive. This is what I promised you, and I did it......"

After Meng Xilan finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, only to feel a little funny.

Why was she talking to a dead man?

Meng Xilan poured herself another glass of wine, and before she could reach her lips, she was gently blocked by Zhou Youchen, who suddenly appeared.

"You still have injuries on your body, so you can't drink." There was a hint of reproach in his tone.

Meng Xilan looked up at him: "It's just a small injury." ”

Zhou Youchen pressed her shoulder and pressed slightly: "Obedient." ”

Meng Xilan let him take his wine glass, and then drank the wine inside.

Halfway, she whispered: "Hug me, okay?" ”

The tone of his voice is like that of a weak child who wants to be spoiled.

Zhou Youchen leaned over, hugged her shoulders, put his cheek against her ear, and said softly: "Don't think about it anymore, everything is over, it's all right." ”

Meng Xilan hugged his arm and nodded quietly.

Zhou Shili, Zhou Shixian, Murong Qiao, Zhou Youlin, Meng Xiyue...... She's settled all her old grudges, all ......
