Chapter 571: Broken Sword
The mother and son were relatively speechless, and in the hall, it was so quiet that even the air could condense water. Until...... After struggling for a long time, Changsheng finally couldn't help but speak: "Queen Mother, this child can't stay!" ”
His tone was muffled and low.
When Meng Xilan heard this, her eyes were dyed with deep sadness. "This kid must stay in this palace!"
Hearing this, Changsheng's whole person was furious.
His eyes were filled with fiery anger, and the anger that spread from his eyes all the way, enveloping his whole being in a fiery hatred, his handsome face distorted by anger, and the anger between his eyebrows and eyes was awe-inspiring.
"Queen Mother, what do you want your sons to do?"
"Chu Jingchuan is a rebel, the Chu family has been exiled from all over the house, and the Chu family is gone, but he is the descendant of the Chu family! And also...... Haven't you thought about it, Queen Mother? What if my father knew about it? Father will kill him, and he will kill you, Queen Mother! ”
Changsheng really didn't want to tell this fact in person, but this is the truth. Once his father recovers from his illness and learns of this, he will not let go of his mother, let alone the child.
"Your father is now seriously ill and delirious. He can't obstruct this palace, and now the only people who can decide the life and death of this child are you and me. ”
Meng Xilan lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen: "In five months, this child will be born safely." ”
Changsheng's expression was entangled: "Five months...... Queen Mother, there has never been a real secret in this palace. This thing can't be hidden! Father will definitely know, when he wakes up......"
The more the queen mother said, the more distressed and angry Changsheng became.
"Queen Mother, what do you want your sons to do? What exactly do you want? ”
Meng Xilan looked at his eyes seriously: "I want you to sit on that dragon chair as soon as possible, I want you to firmly grasp the Beiyan River and Mountain in your own hands!" I want to leave a trace of blood for the Chu family! ”
This is her last calculation, and her last conspiracy.
Changsheng frowned, looked at his mother, and finally left without saying anything.
Meng Xilan saw his shoulders slump and his back swaying, and his heart sank slightly.
Chu Ansheng stood under the porch, and when he saw the prince walking out in a trance, he hurriedly stepped forward with a lantern to light the way for him.
He didn't know why he did it, but he did it anyway.
He took the initiative to step forward and followed the prince step by step, who knows, the prince suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at him viciously, as if the gaze hated to cut him with a thousand knives.
Chu Ansheng didn't hide or dodge, just looked at the prince and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the prince, now is the time for you to protect your mother." ”
His words weighed down on Changsheng's heart like a rock.
He returned to his dormitory, looked at the piles of music on the table, and was silently absorbed until the sky began to bloom outside the window.
He didn't close his eyes all night, and Shen Dan also stood outside all night.
The imperial dining room was ordered by the queen mother to send white porridge and vegetables early in the morning.
Shen Danping retreated left and right, and went in alone to deliver food.
Changsheng's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he had almost spent the night in the torment of anger. However, when the sunlight outside the window came in, illuminating the bookcase in front of him, he suddenly figured out something.
He reached out and took the white porcelain bowl handed over by Shen Dan, and then slowly drank the porridge with a spoon.
Shen Dan was surprised, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Last night, the words that Chu Ansheng said kept echoing in Changsheng's ears: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now is the time for you to protect your mother." ”
Protect the queen mother! It's something he's been unable to do for years. Before, he couldn't do it, now, he must do it.
March 30, the last day of the month.
In the name of the lord of the middle palace, Meng Xilan announced the selection of the crown princess to the public.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Xie Kaiyu, the soldier of the military department, has a daughter Xie Zhenzhen, smart and handsome, with both ability and political integrity, worthy of the respect of the crown princess, the palace hereby gives a marriage contract with His Royal Highness the prince, and chooses a day to get married, Qin this."
Xie Kaiyu's daughter, Xie Zhenzhen became the biggest lucky person this time.
As soon as the news spread, the family was happy and worried, but the most unbearable was the king of Beijun.
He thought that his daughter would definitely be the crown princess...... Unexpectedly, in the end, he ended up with such a humiliating and embarrassing end.
When Zhou Yan'er heard this, she immediately fell seriously ill.
In this way, she is completely finished. After that, I never had the face to go out to meet people.
The king of Beijun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but now because of his daughter's marriage, he has been made faceless, and he must go to the palace to ask the queen for justice!
Zhou Bo didn't believe that he was so easily tricked by the prince. However, he took the initiative to ask to meet the prince, but was rejected by His Royal Highness the prince, and the queen mother is now deliberately sick......
Zhou Bo was furious, and almost when he was about to become angry, the people of the Meng family suddenly visited.
Meng Xizhao, the left waiter of the household department, visited in person.
When Zhou Bo saw him, it was not good to attack on the spot, but he just endured his anger and saw how he could take care of the queen?
Meng Xizhao has always been concise and to the point, and when he came to do things today, he didn't drag his feet.
He told him clearly what the queen mother meant. Niangniang and the prince weighed things again and again, and only then did they decide on the current candidate. But Niangniang is not ready to give up the support of the king of Beijun, his daughter cannot become a concubine, but can become a concubine.
Zhou Bo frowned at him, his face turned pale with anger, he was about to get angry and scold, but he saw Meng Xizhao get up and leave.
"You...... Your Meng family is really too deceitful! ”
Meng Xizhao turned to look at him: "Lord Wang, if Niangniang had the intention to play tricks on you, I wouldn't be here today." Now, the emperor is seriously ill, the prince is in charge of the country, and the prince still has to consider the overall situation! ”
His righteous attitude made the originally aggressive Zhou Bo lose his confidence.
Indeed, now that the court is up and down, no one knows the general trend of the prince.
He is already the well-deserved ruler of Northern Yan.
Zhou Bo's face changed several times, and he still didn't dare to offend Meng Xizhao after all.
The candidate for the crown princess has been decided, so the next thing to do is to prepare for the marriage. Although Meng Xilan stayed in Cining Palace and didn't go out, she still explained to the Internal Affairs Office to do things beautifully.
Gao Fuli came over early in the morning to reply, and saw that the master was walking in the house with his stomach on his back, looking lazy, and there was a gentle color between his eyebrows and eyes, and he couldn't help but stop.
It is rare that the master can live in such peace, there is no discomfort at all, and there is no worry at all, he really can't bear to disturb her.
However, after Meng Xilan turned around, she still saw him.
"Little Lizi, why don't you come in?"
Gao Fuli hurriedly bowed forward: "The slave is afraid of disturbing the purity of the master." ”
Meng Xilan held Baozhu's hand and asked him, "How are things going?" ”
"Back to my mother, everything went well, it only took a month. The preparations for the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be ready. ”
Meng Xilan touched her stomach and sat down: "A month later, the figure of the palace must be even more obvious. ”
On the day of the prince's wedding, she must preside over the overall situation in place of the emperor, but what should she do now? This is the most annoying thing she is right now.
Gao Fuli thought for a while before saying, "Niangniang doesn't have to worry. According to the slaves, Niangniang's lower abdomen can be covered with a wide phoenix robe, as long as she chooses a sunny and windless day, she is bound to be able to hide from the sky and cross the sea. When His Royal Highness saluted, all the ministers knelt down at the white jade steps and waited, far away from the mother. ”
There is no perfect strategy in this world, only to be as careful as possible.
Seeing that he was thoughtful, Meng Xilan said, "Then let's do it as soon as possible." ”
Jiao Changqing said that it is very difficult for her to have a smooth birth, so after July, she will have to rest in bed and try not to get out of bed and walk around at will.
Gao Fuli nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness also asked the servant to give a message to Niangniang." His Royal Highness said that he has been busy with government affairs recently, and he is bent on getting things done, so he can't come over in time to greet you. ”
Since that day, Changsheng learned that she was pregnant, and he had never come to Cining Palace again.
Meng Xilan's eyes sank slightly: "How is Your Highness doing these days?" ”
"Your Highness, everything is fine. There is no one who does not praise or praise the ministers of the court. ”
Meng Xilan knew that he would definitely do a good job. He didn't come to see her, just because his heart couldn't be relieved.
When he came to see her, he said that he had accepted this fact.
"It's okay, Hongu can wait."
He was her child, and she had nothing but patience and trust in him, and never doubted him.
…
The night was as cold as water, and Shen Dan woke up from a nightmare, so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat.
When she woke up from the dream, she opened her eyes in panic, and finally calmed down her breathing, but she forgot what she had dreamed of?
She subconsciously hugged the quilt, only to feel that her body was cold and swishing.
The people around him suddenly turned over and moved, and Shen Dan hurriedly hid to the side.
She didn't want to wake up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside her, but he woke up anyway.
He opened his dark eyes and looked at her and asked her what was wrong?
Shen Dan smiled apologetically: "The slave maid accidentally had a dream......
"Nightmares?"
"No...... No, in fact, the slave and maid themselves can't remember. ”
Changsheng glanced at her, stopped talking, just turned over and sat up.
Just now he also had a dream, an extremely eerie nightmare, and he still remembers it clearly.
Shen Dan saw that he was wearing a middle coat, so he hurriedly got up and put a robe on him.
"Your Highness, the slave should not wake you up......"
Changsheng didn't speak, how could he blame her, but he had to thank her.
If that nightmare continues, it is estimated that he will be trapped in it for a long time, unable to extricate himself.
"What time is it?"
Shen Dan was slightly stunned: "Back to Your Highness, it's already time." ”
Changsheng stared at his eyebrows, and then as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath hard: "I'm going to Cining Palace." ”
Shen Dan was surprised again: "Now? I'm afraid I'm afraid I've rested ......"
Changsheng still insisted, and after putting on it, he went to the outside of Cining Palace.
Coincidentally, Jiao Changqing recently added a fetal decoction to Meng Xilan. Meng Xilan was still awake because she was going to get up and drink medicine.
Baozhu ran in with a panicked expression and said, "Niangniang...... His Highness is down......"
Meng Xilan's hand holding the spoon paused slightly.
This time ...... Why did Changsheng come here? However, what surprised Meng Xilan even more was that Changsheng not only came suddenly, but also carried two sharp swords in his hands, one left and one right.
Baozhu's face turned white, and he glared at the crown prince: "Your Highness, what are you going to do here?" ”
Does he want to be bad for his mother? How could this be?
Meng Xilan's eyes were not looking at him, but at the sword in his hand again.
Changsheng walked up to the queen mother with a calm face, knelt heavily on his knees, and then raised the two swords in his hands and cut them off each other, only to hear a muffled sound, and both swords were broken.
Baozhu was frightened, and Chu Ansheng, who came in a hurry, was also in a cold sweat.
Meng Xilan looked calm, looking at Changsheng fixedly, waiting for what he had to say.
Changsheng's eyes were scorching, and his eyes were as bright as purple stars in a clear night, bright and sincere.
"Queen Mother, sons and daughters should not be angry with you. At the beginning, it was the queen mother who was forced to be subject to Chu Jingchuan for the safety of her sons, and it was the sons who affected the queen mother! The sons are not filial, they can't share their worries for you, and they make you so miserable! If the queen mother wants to stay, the sons will never object, and the sons will treat him well and protect him without worrying about food and clothing! Mother, please forgive your son's selfishness! In the future, the sons will never question the queen mother, oppose the queen mother, if there is a disobedience, it should be such a sword! ”
