The sunlight outside the window gradually slanted westward, and Meng Xilan was lying on the bed, coughing suddenly, coughing out of breath. Mama Kong hurriedly walked over, helped her sit up, and said, "Girl, get up and have a cup of tea." ”

As she spoke, she smoothed Meng Xilan's back, and then placed a soft pillow behind her for her to lean on.

Meng Xilan smiled weakly: "Mama, I want to drink the osmanthus tea you brewed with your own hands." ”

Mama Kong was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly responded: "The old slave will go, and the girl will wait for a while." ”

After Mama Kong left, Meng Xilan sat up slightly straight.

Calculate the time, Zhou Li'er should be coming soon.

Suddenly, a hurried announcement came from outside the door.

Zhulu stood up, looked at Meng Xilan and said, "Girl, the county lord is really here." ”

Meng Xilan's eyebrows furrowed, and then she stretched, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Raising his eyes, seeing Zhou Li'er walking in, Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing had to kneel on the ground to greet them. "His Royal Highness the County Lord."

Zhou Li'er walked into the house with the maid Hongdou, glanced at the people on the ground, and did not tell them to get up.

Hongdou also looked around, but he didn't see Mama Kong there, and he was secretly relieved.

Zhou Li'er sat directly on the main seat, looked at Meng Xilan's pale and emaciated little face, couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, and said with a thick mockery in her tone: "Look at you, it's not a big deal, why can't you even salute An?" ”

Meng Xilan's eyes lifted, and her expression was slightly embarrassed: "The people's daughter is unwell, she can't get up to greet her, and I hope that the county lord will forgive her sins." ”

Zhou Li'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, for the sake of you not living for a few days, the county lord will not care about you." ”

Cold sweat broke out on Zhulu's forehead, she was still kneeling on the ground, and she could see the corner of Zhou Lier's skirt in the afterglow. The young lady said that everything should be done according to the planned steps, and that you must not act rashly.

"County Lord, the folk girl is seriously ill and doesn't want to cause you to get sick, so the county lord should come back another day." Meng Xilan deliberately pretended to be weak and helpless, and softly ordered the eviction.

Zhou Li'er snorted lightly: "Meng Xilan, do you really think that the county lord rarely comes to see you, a cheap girl?" Joke! I said, I'm going to destroy you with my own hands. Your illness came suddenly, and it is rare for the lord of this county to be merciful and let you die clearly! ”

There was a trace of emotion in Meng Xilan's eyes, which was fleeting, shiny, and she was waiting for her words.

Everything is ready, now it's up to Xiaolizi.

At this moment, Gao Fuli was dragging the crying Bailing to the small kitchen to find Mama Kong, and said in a panic: "Mama, something is wrong." ”

Mama Kong was taken aback, looked at the two of them in disgust, and scolded: "There are no rules! What to do in a panic? ”

Gao Fuli dragged the crying lark to his knees, and told the ins and outs of the matter like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"When I saw her secretly wiping her tears in the yard, I became suspicious and wanted to go over and ask her what had happened. I saw her standing on the edge of the well and was about to jump down, so frightened that I hurriedly saw her drag her down. Then, I asked her if she was so dignified, why did she look for death and life? As a result, she said that she had harmed the girl...... She wants to atone for her sins!"

As soon as these words came out, Mama Kong's face was full of anger, and she put down the kettle in her hand heavily, and said, "You made it clear to me!" What the hell is going on? ”

Gao Fuli hurriedly gave Bai Ling a look, and also echoed: "Say!" Tell the truth! ”

At this point, Bai Ling knew that he had no way out.

Meng Xilan said before that as long as she is willing to act in this play well, then she will plead with the Queen Mother, spare her life, and let her out of the palace and give her a sum of silver taels to make ends meet.

Bai Ling begged her not to do this, but Meng Xilan looked at her eyes fixedly, and said word by word: "This is a chance I gave you, you are not innocent, if I hadn't noticed your abnormality that day, maybe I would have been poisoned a long time ago." ”

Her eyes were dark and deep, as if she could see people's hearts at once.

Since there is no way back, what is there to hesitate about!

Bai Ling gritted his teeth, held back his tears, and choked up: "Mama, the slave deserves death!" Actually, the girl was not sick, but ...... I was killed by the county lord! ”

What the?! Mama Kong was shocked when she heard this. Not only her, but everyone in the small kitchen was frightened by this sentence.

Mama Kong didn't think much about it, grabbed Bailing's hair, and said fiercely: "What are you talking about? Don't die. ”

The stakes are so high that she can't help but talk nonsense.

Bai Ling snorted painfully, tears streaming down his face: "Mama, what the slave said is true. Ten days ago, His Royal Highness the county lord gave the slave maid a thing and ordered the slave to put it in the incense burner in the girl's room...... Since then, the girl's health has been getting worse day by day, and then she has been sick! ”

Mama Kong subconsciously let go of her hand, looked at Bai Ling, and intuitively felt that she was not lying. She is a person who was personally selected by herself, and she is innocent.

Gao Fuli secretly looked at Mama Kong's face, and seeing that her face was not angry enough, he hurriedly added another fire: "Bold!" Why did His Royal Highness the county lord want to harm our girl? You must have made it all yourself! ”

Bai Ling was stunned when he heard this, hugged Mama Kong's legs, and choked up: "Mama, believe me, this is all done by the county lord to the slaves." The county lord has always been dissatisfied with our girl, and she also said that if the slave and maid do not do what she tells her, the slave and maid will die without a corpse! The slave and maid don't want to harm the girl, but the county lord's orders, the slave and maid don't dare not listen! ”

Mama Kong's face turned pale, and she slapped her with a flick of her hand, knocking her to the ground: "Bastard! Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Whether it is the county lord of An Ning or Meng Xilan, such a vicious thing should not happen to them. No matter who starts first and who makes the first move, this is extremely naïve and absurd.

While they were talking, the palace maid who came back from outside reported, "Mama...... His Royal Highness the County Lord had just gone to Miss Meng's room, and he didn't even let us bring tea in. ”

When Mama Kong heard this, her heart sank again. That's a problem!

Gao Fuli took advantage of the situation and asked: "Mama, do you believe what Bai Ling said?" ”

Mama Kong's face stiffened, and she asked him, "Then do you believe it?" ”

To be honest, she didn't have an idea this time.

If it was really the county lord of Anning who did it, then she was very wrong.

Gao Fuli said with a straight face: "I believe it." You also know that since the county lord was taught by the Lord Banzai, he has always resented this girl in his heart. Mama, your heart is bright, you must be able to see it. ”

When Mama Kong heard this, her face became even more ugly. Indeed, when she remembered that time when Meng Xilan spoke bluntly to her, she spoke well for the county lord, which was clearly deliberately partial.

"Let's go quickly, while something big hasn't happened yet...... more Mama Kong thought about it, the more anxious she became, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
