Chapter 276: Confrontation
Jiao Changqing's brows tightened when he heard this, and his throat trembled slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Is she really not afraid of death? Or are you in a hurry? How dare you just come!
Zhou Youlin's gaze turned and turned on Meng Xilan's face, she hadn't seen her for a few years, she still looked the same as when she first entered the palace, she was still so young, beautiful, and beautiful......
He couldn't see the slightest fear or panic on her face, and the more she was light, the more he gritted his teeth with hatred.
This woman really doesn't have a heart! When I saw him, I didn't even have a trace of guilt, not even a tear! If she would kneel down and beg him for forgiveness, perhaps, he would be soft-hearted.
"Meng Xilan, you're still so afraid of death, aren't you?"
Although he hated her very much, he was the first to laugh.
Meng Xilan looked at him calmly and said, "Lord Wang, do you remember that I told you that there is nothing easier in this world than death, and only living is the hardest." ”
Zhou Youlin frowned, the dagger in his hand was slightly forced, and the tip of the knife pierced again.
Jiao Changqing snorted, knowing that he was one step closer to danger.
Meng Xilan looked at this scene, her heart tightened slightly, and she only said, "Zhou Youlin, what do you want?" Is that all you have to do? Take innocent people to cut ......"
"He's not innocent at all, he's your cronies, he's your lackey!" Zhou Youlin's tone was gloomy, thinking of the past, he was more and more sure of one thing, that is, there was only one person who Jiao Changqing was truly loyal to, and that was Meng Xilan.
Meng Xilan looked over coldly, looked at Zhou Youlin's hideous smiling face, and shook her head slightly: "Lord Wang, what do you want to do when you come to the mourning family today?" ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Youlin's eyes: "This king wants you to also taste the taste of regret......" He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiao Changqing's face in a cold sweat, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Jiao, don't blame me, you sent it yourself!" ”
Seeing this, Meng Xilan didn't care so much for a while, and walked straight towards Zhou Youlin.
The guards outside the door were all solemn, and they all pulled out their bows and arrows, as long as he dared to move the concubine, he would immediately release the arrows, even if it was a sacrifice for nothing.
Zhou Youlin didn't expect her to really have the courage to come over, and his hand paused slightly, leaving Jiao Changqing with a glimmer of life.
"Zhou Youlin, you have the ability to rush at me, don't move Jiao Changqing."
Meng Xilan stared at Zhou Youlin coldly, and reached out to hold his hand. She didn't know where she got the strength, so she dragged Zhou Youlin's hand with a brute force and removed the dagger from Jiao Changqing's neck.
Jiao Changqing's legs were numb and he was already unconscious, but he still desperately crawled forward with his hands, with a bit of panic for the rest of his life.
Meng Xilan and Zhou Youlin stood face to face, Zhou Youlin came to his senses from the initial stunned, and directly put the dagger against her left chest, wanting to stab or not, and said, "You woman...... Damn it! ”
To tell the truth, even if he stabbed her with a dagger a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times, it would be difficult for him to understand the hatred in his heart.
Zhou Youchen heard the movement in the house, pushed aside everyone and walked in, who knows, the scene in front of him actually shocked his heart.
"Lan'er ......"
Zhou Youlin curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, revealing an expression of wanting to smile or not. "It turns out that our emperor is also here, okay, it's good! This person is ready for now! ”
Through several layers of light clothes, Meng Xilan could clearly feel the sharpness and coldness of the dagger, without thinking, as long as a moment of breathing, Zhou Youlin could easily use this dagger to penetrate her chest and pierce her body.
It turned out that the nightmare really came with some kind of omen. Once again, she was so close to death that her limbs were chilling, as if her whole body was shrouded in ice, unable to move.
Zhou Youchen clenched his fists and said word by word: "Zhou Youlin, if you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I will definitely crush your bones and scatter ashes!" ”
He looked at Meng Xilan's still stubborn back, and his heart was full of regret.
Standing so face-to-face with the person he hated the most, the hatred in Zhou Youlin's eyes gradually turned into a real pain.
His heart hurts so much, and his whole body hurts!
"Broken bones and ......ashes," Zhou Youlin's eyes burst into tears. This king is already a living dead. ”
As soon as his words fell, Meng Xilan raised her hand and gave him a slap.
This slap was very loud, which made everyone stunned, especially Zhou Youlin. He looked at Meng Xilan with wide eyes, and his face was hot and painful.
"Zhou Youlin, you spent three whole years living in the world, just to do such a stupid thing?"
"That's right, this king pretended to be crazy and stupid and lived until now, for you, Meng Xilan!"
If he couldn't see her with his own eyes, he would never be willing to lose like this, and he would lose completely.
Three years ago, when Meng Xilan left the palace, it was his most difficult time. When his mother died, he was placed under house arrest again, and he could only be a waste person who lived secretly. However, he knew that Meng Xilan had taken her net worth and played such a big game of chess on Zhou Youchen's body, she would not leave him easily, she would definitely come back, sooner or later......
Sure enough, Meng Xilan, who had returned from three years of practice, returned to the palace and returned to Zhou Youchen's side.
Zhou Youlin knew that his chance for revenge had come, so he gambled his last bit of hope to see her with his own eyes.
"Zhou Youlin, don't look aggrieved and injured. I may have lied to you, but I've never been sorry for you! In the battle for succession back then, you were the one who lost! You can't afford to lose yourself, so what do you have to do with others? ”
Meng Xilan changed her usual gentle and quiet, her tone became aggressive, and the words pierced Zhou Youlin's heart, which was even sharper than the blade.
"If it weren't for you? How could this king lose? You pretended to flatter your mother, and you put a cold arrow behind her back, you hurt her! Zhou Youlin became a little excited, and his body shook slightly, which provoked the archers outside, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"I still remember how Concubine Ning treated me back then. Lord, don't you remember all the past? Meng Xilan's tone was still extremely sharp: "From the first day I entered the palace, I was just a chess piece in the eyes of your mother and son." Concubine Ning's city is so deep, if I hadn't made the first move, do you think I would still be alive today? ”
If she hadn't acted in a good show at the beginning, how could Murong Qiao easily believe her? She can sacrifice everything and anyone for Zhou Youlin.
Zhou Youlin's eyes flashed slightly, and he trembled in disbelief: "This king has never regarded you as a pawn, I have liked you for so many years, but what about you?" You actually chose Zhou Youchen! It's you who have been lying to me, and you have been yin to me! ”
He paid her the wrong heart, and in the end, he lost his morality.
Zhou Youlin's gaze turned to Zhou Youchen, the child who was once inferior to a beggar, but now he has become the world's Ninety-Five Supreme! It's ironic to think about!
Zhou Youchen was not afraid of his gaze, and said coldly: "Fourth brother, your failure has nothing to do with others!" If the first emperor really had the intention to make you the prince, he would have made you the prince a long time ago. The battle for succession is a matter of life and death, and whoever grabs the opportunity will win! ”
Zhou Youlin was also unceremonious: "If Meng Xilan, a vicious woman, has been protecting you and helping you, will you win?" Can you win? ”
If it weren't for Meng Xilan, he would be nothing, and he wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
Zhou Youlin suddenly approached Meng Xilan, and his heavy breath hit her face: "Is it worth it for you to betray this king for the sake of such a person?" ”
Meng Xilan's gaze moved away from Zhou Youlin's face, glanced back at Zhou Youchen behind him, and said with a slight smile: "I don't regret it, because he is my best choice." ”
There was no one in the world who cared more about her than he did.
"Zhou Youlin, you kept saying that you liked me back then, but you really thought about me? Have you endured it for me? Have you chosen for me? With a faint sigh, Meng Xilan slowly spoke: "Maybe, maybe you really moved your heart to me, but your heart can't match your mother's earnest teachings after all!" It was you who killed the concubine and left me in the palace with the difficulty of national mourning, and almost ruined my life! You'd rather let me stay in the palace and suffer than let me go and give me freedom...... Zhou Youlin, such a "sincere and sincere", do you still expect me to be moved? ”
As she spoke, her tone began to choke up a little.
"When the first emperor was thinking about me, when Concubine Ning was full of calculations for me, what were you doing? You're accusing me, blaming me, embarrassing me. Zhou Youlin, you take my kindness and tolerance towards you for granted, you are too arrogant. ”
Zhou Youlin's face turned pale when he heard this, and his whole body froze, but who knows, Meng Xilan held his hand again, the hand holding the dagger.
"Zhou Youlin, you are not qualified to kill me, because I have never owed you. I chose the first emperor and not you because I didn't have a choice at all. I chose the current emperor over you because there is no one in this world who cares more about me than him. Zhou Youlin, you always think about what you want, have you ever thought about what others want? Concubine Ning didn't die unjustly, the cold incense poison was her right, and the method was also what she thought. I'm just borrowing my strength, and how Concubine Ning killed Concubine Xiao back then, don't you know? ”
"Concubine Ning owes the emperor a life, but I owe you nothing. Zhou Youlin, you are not qualified to kill me, you are not worthy! ”
Meng Xilan said as he pressed down his hand, although it was not easy, he still did it.
She looked into his eyes, and the surging murderous aura was long gone, replaced by deep entanglement and pain.
Zhou Youlin frowned slightly, unconsciously took a step back, and shook his head to himself: "Why?" Why? I just can't win against you......"
It was before, and it is now, he can't always win against her!
While speaking, Zhou Youchen had already pulled Meng Xilan in front of him, he looked at the blood spots on her chest, his heart was pounding, he only hugged her tightly, and gasped hard: "Fool, you stupid woman." ”
His embrace was unusually warm, which relieved her tense nerves, and only then did she begin to feel scared, and her tone trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, take me out of here, I want to leave here......"
