Meng Zhenglu lowered his eyelids, and since his daughter entered the palace, he had reminded him more than once. Zhou Shili is a sinister and cunning villain, ruthless and unjust, greedy for power...... But the strange thing is that although his daughter reminded him again and again, Meng Zhenglu still couldn't see where Zhou Shili was insidious, where was he cunning, and where he was greedy for power?

Over the years, Zhou Shili has always wholeheartedly assisted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, giving him advice and looking forward to him. Everyone in the court and China knew that he was a royalist through and through, and he had good abilities and came up with a lot of good ways for the new policy that the crown prince admired.

To be honest, Meng Zhenglu could see that although Zhou Shili was only a county king, he was more capable than Zhou Shirong, the prince of Rong. However, he knew very well in his heart that his daughter would not suspect a person for no reason, and he also labeled him such a "sinful" hat.

"Lan'er, you support Prince Xian, everyone in the palace and outside the palace knows it. How did Zhou Shili trust you and tell you such a secret? Meng Zhenglu was full of doubts in his heart, the stakes were very high, and he couldn't help but pursue and ask questions.

Back then, when Prince Xian was stricken with the epidemic, it was she who personally took the imperial doctor out of the palace and went to the prince's side to protect him and keep him safe. That Zhou Shili is also in the know, how could he believe her?

Meng Xilan's expression was calm, and she said quietly: "Indeed, in order to protect the prince, I can even put my own life on the line. How could the prince of the county be so stupid...... But father, even the wisest person can make mistakes. Zhou Shili has been wandering around the palace all the year round, and he is used to seeing the tricks in the palace, and he is also used to seeing the faces of the people in the palace, he knows very well in his heart that he can't trust anyone. However, he believed in his daughter, and there were no more than three reasons for this. ”

Meng Zhenglu listened to her calm tone when she spoke, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

"The first point is because Zhou Shili feels that he is too smart, smart enough to hide everything, and no one can see his wolf ambitions. The second point is because he thinks he is too smart, so smart that he is self-righteous, and he can easily see through everyone in the palace. This third point...... Or is it because he is self-righteous and feels that his daughter is infatuated with him, and he is willing to go to the soup for him, and he will not hesitate! ”

Meng Zhenglu was stunned when he heard this, and then understood what was going on. "Lan'er, you mean you and him...... Have a personal relationship? After saying this, he almost didn't stand firm, and his face instantly turned pale.

Meng Xilan knelt down again and kowtowed to her father: "Father, please believe your daughter, although the daughter has used some means against the prince of the county, please believe in the daughter's personality, and the daughter will never do anything with others!" ”

She knew that her father was thinking too much, so she had to explain it clearly. She and Zhou Shili do have skin to skin, but they are all acting on the spot, she is so cruel to him, how can she let him defile her body again.

Meng Zhenglu stood up on the corner of the table, naturally not believing that his daughter would do such a rude thing, and hurriedly said: "You get up and speak first, because my father doesn't believe you!" It's just that these things happened too suddenly. ”

Meng Xilan got up slowly, bowed her head and said, "It's good for a father to believe in his daughter." In order to deceive Zhou Shili's vigilance, his daughter did do something and said something to make him misunderstand. Xu Yes, providence makes people, that Zhou Shili has always had some affection for his daughter, and his daughter didn't want to pay attention to it, but the situation is changeable, and now she can take advantage of it, and her daughter doesn't want to give up this good opportunity. ”

There is no faster and more effective way in this world than to confuse people with "love".

Meng Zhenglu took a deep breath, and didn't want to comment on whether his daughter's behavior was right or wrong for the time being, and now there is no room for turning around.

"So, you privately decided to divorce the Chu family, also to make Zhou Shili feel at ease?"

She didn't inform her family about the divorce in advance, so she went to Chu Jingchuan alone. Although she is now a princess, her name is still on the genealogy of the Meng family, and the letter of resignation to the Chu family must also be written and sent by the people of the Meng family. But even so, she still insisted on going her own way and didn't ask the elders in the family.

Speaking of Chu Jingchuan, Meng Xilan had a hint of helplessness on her face, "No, my daughter withdrew from the marriage without authorization, not because she wanted Zhou Shili to believe that I was dedicated to him. It's from the bottom of my daughter's heart, Brother Jingchuan treats me sincerely, but my daughter can't leave the palace for a long time to complete the marriage contract with him. The daughter is really ashamed, a year later, and another three years, but after these three years, the daughter herself does not dare to guarantee when she will be able to leave the palace and return home. Therefore, my daughter does not want to let Brother Jingchuan wait hard, nor does she want the Chu family to worry about me. ”

She quickly made a decision about the divorce. Although her heart hurts, she has no regrets.

Meng Zhenglu shook his head again and again, held his forehead and sat down.

"Lan'er, Lan'er, why did you bother to do this. If you really want to leave the palace, your father will pave the way for you, and you can't hurt Shizukawa like this......"

Meng Xilan's heart was slightly sour, and a thin layer of tears welled up in her eyes.

"Father, as soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and her daughter has no turning back. The daughter's face is the Queen Mother's favorite and most concerned. If her daughter leaves the palace, the Queen Mother's love for her daughter will turn into resentment full of dissatisfaction. Moreover, if my daughter leaves the palace, how can she check the wind direction in the palace for our Meng family and discern the strange people's hearts. ”

Meng Zhenglu saw his daughter burst into tears, and his whole heart was pinched together, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

He knew his daughter was telling the truth. Back then, her mother personally planned to let her show her face in front of the Queen Mother, and it was this coincidence. But everything comes at a price!

"Lan'er, to put it mildly, it's all for the sake of your father. When your mother died young, your father once promised her at her bedside that he would take good care of you and let you live your life without worry. ”

Meng Xilan saw that her father was emotional, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, don't say such things. Father, do you remember? Before my daughter left the palace, she talked to you in the study. At that time, her daughter said that as the daughter of the Meng family, it was her daughter's duty and honor to contribute to the Meng family. How can people live a truly carefree life? Unless this person is crazy or stupid, he must always plan for the people around him and take responsibility. ”

Once you take responsibility, there is no real freedom.

Meng Zhenglu clenched his fists and resisted the urge to cry. "Lan'er, my father really can't stand you."

Meng Xilan still shook her head, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said with a slight smile: "If the father says such things again, the daughter will really be ashamed." Reviving the family is not only the responsibility of his father and brother, but also the responsibility of Xilan. Although the Queen Mother is paranoid, she still loves me very much after all. Now, all this glory I have been given by her, and I am actually very grateful in my heart. It's just that the Queen Mother's body is not as good as day by day, and I was afraid that the situation would be uncertain, so I came to discuss with my father. ”

Now is not the time to be sad and sigh, but it is better to get down to business.

"The Queen Mother's body, how is it?" Meng Zhenglu also calmed down and asked seriously.

"Don't hide it from my father, Master Jiao has already made a conclusion, and he can last for half a year at most. Half a year later, it can only be determined by the will of God. ”

"Huh?" Meng Zhenglu was shocked. He couldn't get any definite news outside the palace, and he didn't know how serious it was.

"It was because there was not much time that my daughter was in a hurry to come back. After dinner, the daughter wanted to come and talk to her father. But my brother took the first step and called me over, and my daughter had to tell him first......" Meng Xilan groaned slightly: "The queen mother's health is not good, and Zhou Shili also knows about it." The daughter told him that in order to urge him, sort out the evidence earlier, defect to the prince, and support the prince. ”

"What did Zhou Shili say?"

Naturally, he agreed. He has been tortured by the prince's neglect for many years, and the evil breath in his heart has long reached the limit. It is estimated that in a few days, the mistakes made by the prince back then will be dug up by some people and make a big fuss. When the time comes, my father will just push the boat down the river and impeach the prince with everyone, the bigger the noise, the better, it is best to embarrass the prince and make the emperor angry! ”

Zhou Shili is a very means, following the prince for so many years, he will know no less secrets.

"Okay, then my father will tell the prince about this tomorrow, so that he can prepare early." Meng Zhenglu couldn't bear to live up to his daughter's hard work, so he naturally nodded and agreed.

"No, father still don't tell the prince about this for the time being." Meng Xilan obviously had other plans.

"Why not?" Meng Zhenglu was puzzled: "As the saying goes, the inside should be combined with the outside, and we plan in advance outside, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Father, everything else can be said, but between me and Zhou Shili, my father can't tell the prince...... Because the prince likes his daughter, if he knows, his daughter uses herself as bait to seduce Zhou Shili to defect to the prince. Instead of being happy and rejoicing, he will be jealous and irritable, and if he is not careful, he will do something out of the ordinary, and he will do something bad. ”

Meng Xilan didn't overestimate herself, but she knew Zhou Youlin's temper too well. He has always refused to give up on him, and now he avoids it everywhere, but for the sake of the future party, so he is not in a hurry.

In order to keep her, he even dared to do such a thing as killing, what else could he not do. Before the complete collapse of the crown prince, Zhou Shili can't die yet, he must live well.

Meng Zhenglu didn't expect this, and immediately frowned and pondered. "You're right, the prince's temperament is not stable, and he often has some amazing actions. In the end, he is too young, his temperament is not stable enough, and he is not mature enough. ”

Meng Xilan said with a smile: "It is precisely because the prince is deficient that he needs the assistance and help of his father and brother. After the crown prince was deposed, the prince could rest easy. ”

Meng Zhenglu shook his head: "What about Zhou Shili?" He still has ambitions after all! ”

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and she only pursed her lips and chuckled: "Father, don't worry, I will take care of Zhou Shili myself." ”

Revenge and hatred are such things, and she must do it herself to be happy.
