Chapter 88: The Plague of Innocence (4)
Meng Xilan had a cold determination in her eyes, and her expression was a little scary.
Murong Qiao stared straight at the person in front of her, but she didn't know that she would have such courage. But there is no doubt that whether she is impulsive and reckless, or deliberate bravery, at this juncture, she needs someone who can be trusted to visit her son and take care of him.
There are many calculations in the palace, and there are more black hands outside the palace.
Murong Qiao can't leave the palace, once she leaves the emperor's side, the queen and others will definitely try their best to fall into the ground. No matter what others think, she has to tightly tie the emperor's heart and let him help Zhou Youlin solve the dilemma in front of him.
"The relationships in the palace are inextricably linked and intertwined. You can't leave or go to this palace, but you can help this palace and protect Lin'er. As long as you can protect my child safely and return to the palace intact, this palace is willing to fulfill any wish you have! Hongu guarantee! Murong Qiao's words were firm and full of sincerity.
Meng Xilan was slightly blessed: "I agree with my mother's request, and I will go all out." ”
Murong Qiao's slightly pale face when he heard this, a smile finally appeared.
Early the next morning, Meng Xilan, accompanied by nearly half of the doctors in the hospital, drove out of the palace.
Murong Qiao specially saw her off, and after a night of thinking, she had to cheer up her spirits.
Empress Su happened to appear, looked at Concubine Ning's heavy face, and couldn't help but sneer: "Are you still in the mood to dress yourself?" Tsk, it's really big-hearted. ”
My son is going to die, who are you going to show if you are still dressed like this?!
Murong Qiao's eyes fluttered: "Queen Mother, this palace is not in a good mood today, I advise you not to come and find me unhappy, so as not to hurt you......"
Seeing that she was still full of arrogance, Queen Su sneered: "Your son's life and death are uncertain, and you still have the ability to scare the palace, it's ridiculous!" Now, you are at the end of your crossbow, it is best to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, if you dare to be powerful again, this palace will never let you have a good time! ”
"Hehe, the queen has such a big breath! Who said that something would happen to my Lin'er? As the queen, Niangniang actually spoke disrespectfully and openly cursed the emperor's heir, believe it or not, let the emperor treat you for the crime of disrespect now! Murong Qiao's words suddenly made the queen's face change.
Queen Su was a little angry: "Presumptuous, if you want to punish the crime, you will be punished first!" You have repeatedly contradicted the palace, and you don't have me as a queen in your eyes! ”
When Murong Qiao heard this, he suddenly stepped forward, and raised his hand to slap him, which surprised the palace maid beside him, and thought that she wanted to break the net and fight.
Queen Su subconsciously hid, but she felt that something was wrong, and her eyes narrowed: "You dare!" ”
Who knows, Murong Qiao just reached out and gently patted the petals floating from nowhere on her shoulder, and said lightly: "Why is the queen mother afraid?" Rest assured, the palace will not move a single hair of your hair, the queen feels that the palace is too dressed, well, when the queen dies, the palace will be dressed in white filial piety, send you away! ”
"You ......" and Murong Qiao argued, she couldn't get half a bargain at all.
Murong Qiao became more and more aggressive: "Queen Mother, whoever falls into the well will go to hell after death!" Hello, do it yourself. ”
She knew that she had lost momentum, even at a time like this!
On the other side, Meng Xilan sat in the carriage, where did she know the quarrel behind her.
The only entourage that accompanied her was Zhulu Zhuqing and Xiaolizi. At this moment, their faces were heavy, and they felt that they were not going out of the city, but going to die!
Meng Xilan pondered for a moment and said lightly: "It's too late to regret it now." ”
Gao Fuli raised his head when he heard this, his eyes flashed slightly: "The master is not afraid, the slave is not afraid!" ”
I heard that the imperial doctors sent by the palace left a letter to their families to explain what happened after their deaths, and once they left this city gate, no one knew what would happen next......
Just thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped halfway, Meng Xilan's body shook, but fortunately, Zhu Lu stopped in front of her.
Meng Xilan was afraid that something would change, so she lifted the curtain and looked out, but saw Chu Jingchuan's face.
His eyes filled with a look that bordered on distress and anger. He looked at her, and only at her, and said in a deep voice, "You come down!" ”
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Brother Jingchuan, get out of the way, I want to leave the palace." ”
"Get out of the way, let me watch you die!" Chu Jingchuan's tone was eager, changing from his usual gentleness.
Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at her when she heard this, and suddenly directly touched his gaze, and her face sank: "Brother, what are you talking about?" Is it true that my father and brother are on the verge of death and can only wait for death? ”
Chu Jingchuan was stunned by her question, opened his mouth, but only said: "It's too dangerous outside the city, don't go." ”
Meng Xilan pursed the corners of her mouth with a smile, and the prestige in her eyes loomed: "Brother Jingchuan, even the Queen Mother can't stop me, do you think you can stop me?" ”
"Lan'er ......"
"If you still believe me, wait for me, wait for me to come back. As for the side words, don't say it, I don't want to hear it! After Meng Xilan said this, she lowered the curtain heavily.
Chu Jingchuan stared at the thick curtain, and he couldn't wait to rush up and pull Meng Xilan down immediately, and then tie him with a rope, but after all, it was just useless, he couldn't stop her, so he could only let go ruthlessly.
The carriage moved slowly, Meng Xilan slowly closed her eyes, and silently said "I'm sorry" to Chu Jingchuan in her heart.
The Meng family's hopes are all on their father and brother, a huge family, and everyone's life is tied to them. She can't wait, can't wait......
When Zhu Lu saw her like this, she knew that she was sad, and hurriedly said: "Master, Master Chu is also worried about you......"
She is his sweetheart and his unfinished wife, how can he not worry and care?
Meng Xilan said lightly: "I know, I'm fine." ”
I don't know if it's because after the news of the epidemic spread, people in the city were panicked, there were very few passers-by walking on the street, almost all the shops on the street were closed, and only two medical centers were open.
Meng Xilan looked at the depressed scene on the street, and couldn't help but worry more about her father and brothers outside the city.
The road from the official road out of the city to the entrance of the city was poured with thick lime, which was a way to prevent the spread of the epidemic into the city. The officers and soldiers defending the city all wrapped themselves up to show only a pair of eyes, and they were terrified every day.
Meng Xilan looked up at the sky, only to feel that the sky was as blue as washing, and it couldn't be cleaner. I thought to myself, this is a good omen.
After leaving the city, the big tent of the military camp on the hillside could be seen in the distance, although it was only such a small shadow, but it was enough to make Meng Xilan breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhulu Zhuqing and Gao Fuli behind him also looked over, and their eyes were very blank.
Along the way, Meng Xilan barely spoke, except for closing her eyes and recuperating, she just looked up at the sky. She wanted to calm her mind and think about it.
For the sake of the camp's clothing, the city would send a pair of chariots and horses every day to deliver supplies and medicinal herbs for them, but other than that, no one was allowed to approach without permission, unless there was a waist plate in the palace.
Meng Xilan's waist card was personally rewarded by the Queen Mother, which is naturally not trivial.
The guards immediately reported that after Zhou Youlin fell ill, Meng Zhenglu was ordered to temporarily take care of all matters in the account. When he woke up in the morning, he noticed that he was coughing a little, and he couldn't help but feel bad.
At this time, when he saw the waist card of the Queen Mother, he was shocked. He knew that his daughter Meng Xilan was named "Princess Wenning" because she was favored by the Queen Mother, and he naturally felt happy about such a great event, only to feel that his daughter could have such a creation, all of which were cultivated by the ancestors of the Meng family.
It's just that when Meng Xilan really appeared in front of him, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and the slap he raised was stopped by Meng Xizhao before it fell.
"Father's ......"
Since I was a child, my father has never touched half of my sister's hair, and he has not even said a word of heavy words.
Meng Xilan didn't wait for her father and brother to reproach, and knelt down first to admit her mistake: "My daughter is acting alone, and I hope my father and brother will forgive." ”
Meng Zhenglu's eyes were slightly red, but he still said in a deep voice: "Confused! I don't have a foolish daughter like you! You go, you go to me immediately, go back to the palace for me immediately! ”
When Zhulu and Zhuqing heard this, they also knelt down together and helped the master speak: "Master...... Miss, it's not easy. The young lady came to see the master and the young master, but she was forced to die in front of the queen mother before she could leave the palace. Master...... Miss has brought out all the best doctors in the palace! ”
Meng Zhenglu swayed slightly when he heard this, and suddenly turned his back and stopped talking.
Meng Xizhao stretched out his hand and helped Meng Xilan up: "Silly sister, what do you want in the palace, why do you want to come over?" ”
Meng Xilan said in a low tone: "I can't help but come, now the palace and the palace are full of calculations, the fourth prince is now suffering from a serious illness, and he is the most helpless, his safety is also related to the safety of the Meng family, I can't let you be calculated unguarded." ”
Meng Xizhao knew that she had a plan, and it would definitely not be impulsive to appear here today.
"Brother, sister-in-law gave birth smoothly and added a son to our Meng family. The child is very healthy and cute, and the family has been waiting for the father and brothers to go back and name the child. ”
"Brother Yun......" When Meng Xi read these three words, a faint luster appeared in his eyes, which was the joy and satisfaction of being a first-time father. Peace is good. ”
Meng Xilan looked at her father's back, then at her eldest brother's slightly haggard face, and couldn't help asking, "What about the second brother?" ”
When Meng Xizhao heard this, the little joy that had just appeared on his face was instantly replaced by a deep sadness. "Xi Ran was sick, and after the Fourth Highness couldn't afford to fall ill, he stayed by his side, and the result was ......"
The epidemic is raging, and more and more people are sick, and everyone can only be isolated together, with no one to take care of them.
