When Meng Xilan heard this, her eyes instantly condensed, and her fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table, thinking silently in her heart.

It seems that Zhou Youlin is iron-hearted.

"Lan'er, I know that the prince's request is very unreasonable, you have to be careful yourself." Meng Xiran suddenly felt that he was a little useless, and he couldn't think of a good way to solve his sister's dilemma.

Meng Xilan smiled slightly, patted the second brother's arm with relief, and said lightly: "It's okay, no matter how the prince treats me, it will not affect the connection between the prince and our Meng family." The contradiction between us is a trivial matter, and only the affairs of the Meng family are major matters. ”

Taking a step back, even if she and Zhou Youlin tore their faces one day, he wouldn't, let alone break with the Meng family.

Meng Xiran was not worried about this, he was worried about Zhou Youlin not knowing when his brain would be hot again and he would do something impulsive.

"I'm just scared...... He's going to make it hard for you again! ”

It is impossible for him to stay by Meng Xilan's side every day, and he is even more afraid that he will let his sister be bullied when he is negligent.

"Thanks to Concubine Ning's blessing, the wedding date of Xi Qiao and Song Ergongzi has been set. Once they form a family with the Marquis of Weiyuan, the position of the Meng family in the capital will be more stable. The prince is a smart man, and he must be able to judge the situation, so naturally he will no longer do those stupid things. ”

Although Meng Xilan said this, she still had some uncertain worries in her heart......

The next morning, everyone left on time, and Zhou Youlin obviously didn't pay attention to the unpleasant conversation last night, he was still as silent as before. He rarely spoke, and he didn't come to Meng Xilan's trouble, and he didn't even look at her, avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the fact that he does not speak does not mean that his heart is at peace, he is just hesitating, thinking, and choosing...... If he followed Zhou Youwen's thinking, he could get Meng Xilan in a hundred ways, and even if she could obey herself obediently and do whatever she wanted...... No matter how stubborn she is, she is still a woman, just a woman.

During lunch, although Zhou Youlin and Meng Xilan sat at the same table, the two of them never said a word from beginning to end, and Meng Xiran stood behind the two of them, faintly apprehensive in his heart.

Zhou Youlin was silent, occasionally raised his eyes, and looked at Meng Xilan opposite, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Meng Xilan tasted the tea quietly, although it was just the coarse tea of an ordinary farmer, it had a simple aroma.

In less than an hour's journey, the capital will be reached.

The closer she was to the palace in the capital, the more steady Meng Xilan's heart became, but on the contrary, Zhou Youlin's mood became more and more anxious.

The impulse in his body reminded him again and again that he couldn't easily let go of Meng Xilan, the woman who fooled him and colded him.

But what he minded was the means, the pill was still in his hand, and as long as he was willing, everything would be easy. However, he was still hesitating, hesitating whether to do it or not. His intellect told him that if he did, it would be a wrong move, a big mistake......

After a simple lunch, the two of them continued on their way.

When she arrived at the palace gate, it was already evening, Meng Xilan stepped out of the carriage and looked at the lit palace lights, and the tension in her heart eased a lot.

Zhou Youlin turned over and dismounted and walked towards her, his eyes were heavy, as if he had something to say.

Meng Xilan clenched her palms slightly, glanced back at her second brother Meng Xiran, and saw that he also followed quickly.

"Along the way, thank you for your care." Meng Xilan was the first to speak.

Zhou Youlin smiled disapprerovingly: "Are you going to see my mother?" ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied, "Why did the prince suddenly ask that?" I have to go back to Cining Palace first and say hello to the Queen Mother. ”

In fact, she really had that idea, as soon as she entered the palace gate, she went straight to Concubine Ning's bedroom. It's just that I didn't expect that Zhou Youlin would predict it in advance.

The smile on Zhou Youlin's face did not decrease: "If you want to go, this king will go with you." ”

What does that mean?

Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youlin steadily, I don't know what he was thinking?

"I said before, there is still a break between you and me, and this king is waiting for you in the palace of the concubine." Zhou Youlin only said a word lightly, and then turned away, slightly suspicious of being tricky.

Meng Xilan was slightly nervous in her heart.

According to the rules, she went back to Cining Palace first, and when the Queen Mother saw her come back early, she thought something was wrong, but when she saw that she was still good-looking, she was relieved.

"It's good to come back, my daughter's family has my daughter's pastime, don't learn from those boys, monkeys are on horseback all day long, it's tiring and not good-looking."

Meng Xilan nodded with a smile.

The Queen Mother asked her to go back early to rest, but Meng Xilan was not without such good fortune, and after a little makeup, she went to Concubine Ning again.

Murong Qiao looked at his son's slightly gloomy face, as if he had something on his mind, and couldn't help but feel a little nameless fire in his heart.

She didn't like to see him like this, she asked him, but he didn't answer, just said to wait. She asked him who he was waiting for, but he said Meng Xilan's name.

Murong Qiao looked down at the ten-fingered dankou he had just retouched, and opened his mouth lightly: "Lin'er, are you here today for a showdown with the main palace?" ”

Looking at his appearance, he must have some kind of thought. During these days in the paddock, there must have been another accident between them, and it was still not a trivial matter.

Zhou Youlin's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this: "Mother, the mind of the son-in-law, you already know it, I just want to discuss something with you." ”

Thing? These two words now sound in Murong Qiao's ears, but they have a bit of weight.

"What are you talking about? This palace has told you more than once that it is impossible for you and Meng Xilan to be incompatible. Murong Qiao's tone became stern. Her father is now the most capable courtier by your side, if you pester Meng Xilan, what will the people of the Meng family think of you? And what will the ministers think of you? It's just going to treat you like a plaything, a joke that you're obsessed with! ”

Zhou Youlin said lightly: "Mother, Erchen is not a child anymore, he knows very well what he is doing." ”

"You better know. Otherwise, the palace won't let you ......" Before she finished speaking, the palace maid outside lowered her head and came in and replied: "Princess Wenning has arrived." ”

Murong Qiao's face eased slightly, and motioned for her to come in.

Meng Xilan walked in slowly, the expression on her face was completely opposite to her state of mind at the moment, with a decent smile and a calm gaze.

"Say hello to Concubine Ning, please say hello to the prince." She bowed slightly.

Murong Qiao immediately greeted him with a smile: "Bengong and Lin'er are talking about you, you are here, just in time!" ”

Meng Xilan's eyes rolled, and after taking a seat, she asked, "Thanks to the prince for escorting me all the way back to the palace in the past two days." ”

Murong Qiao's smile did not decrease: "Really? It's good, why did you come back? She patiently and politely greeted her, but her eyes deliberately paid attention to every expression on Zhou Youlin's face.

"Because my body is not very comfortable...... Meng Xilan opened her mouth, and suddenly saw Zhou Youlin standing up, and then waved her hand to signal all the palace people in the hall to retreat.

This posture seems to have something big to say.

Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face instantly condensed.

Meng Xilan's heart sank, and she felt that something would definitely happen again.

After everyone else withdrew in an orderly manner, and after closing the door, Zhou Youlin opened his mouth lightly: "Mother, my son wants to marry Meng Xilan as his wife." As soon as the words fell, the teacup in Murong Qiao's hand slammed into the ground with a "bang", causing a slight commotion outside, but no one dared to come in.

The teacup was shattered all over the ground, but Zhou Youlin did not hide or dodge, still standing in front of his mother, kneeling down uprightly.

"Say it again!" Murong Qiao's face was cold, and his voice was not high, but it was full of anger.

"Erchen wants to marry Meng Xilan as his wife." Zhou Youlin said again in a calm tone.

Instead of forcing her and making her resent herself for the rest of her life, it is better to tie her to her side for a lifetime, no matter whether she is resentful or hateful, she will follow her for the rest of her life.

There was a roar in Meng Xilan's ears, and suddenly, suddenly she couldn't hear anything, only her own heartbeat could be faintly heard.

Zhou Youlin, Zhou Youlin, you have to ruin your good future before you give up, don't you?

"Something that doesn't make a living!" For the first time in her life, Murong Qiao said such unpleasant words to her precious son, she gouged out Meng Xilan's eyes fiercely, and scolded her son again: "This matter, this palace is not allowed, you better give me this heart to die right now." How many times has this palace told you, there are many women in the world, but you can't want this woman. ”

To be honest, Murong Qiao didn't hate Meng Xilan, and even thought that she was very smart and a usable person. However, for Zhou Youlin, she can only be a thought, not a woman beside him.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and felt that she couldn't just sit like this, so she also stood up: "Thanks to the prince's wrong love, Xilan really can't bear it...... Moreover, the prince and the mother both know in their hearts that I am a person with a marriage contract, and when Captain Chu comes back, we will get married. ”

In a hurry, Meng Xilan couldn't think much about it, so she could only move Chu Jingchuan out as her shield. Although she still had hesitation and hesitation in her heart before, now, in this situation, only the existence of Chu Jingchuan can keep her innocence and peace.

Murong Qiao's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly understood in his heart. It turned out that Zhou Youlin himself was hot......

Zhou Youlin didn't look at her when he heard this, just looked at his mother, and said quietly: "Mother, my son's son has lived for eighteen years, and I have never disobeyed you, and my son has never begged you, this is the first and only time, and I hope that my mother will fulfill my son." ”

"Fulfillment?" A sneer overflowed from Murong Qiao's red lips, "Stupid, stupid!" Didn't you hear what she said? How do you let this palace fulfill you? Do you want the emperor to decree to rob you of your relatives? Or let Bengong come forward to make the Meng family regret the marriage? Lin'er, you are such a smart child, why do you have to disappoint Hongu in this matter? ”

She was very puzzled in her heart, Zhou Youlin has always been arrogant, why did he have to remember a woman who had no heart for her, could it be that Meng Xilan gave him some kind of drug?

"As long as the mother concubine is willing to help her son, her son's wish will definitely come true." Zhou Youlin raised his head and looked at Murong Qiao with burning eyes, and there was impatience in his eyes.

If he didn't give the matter in front of him first, he didn't have the heart to think about anything else!

Wish...... Murong Qiao's heart was shocked, and he looked at him and shook his head again and again: "Impossible, Zhou Youlin, you stand up for this palace, this palace will not help you." ”

Is this still her son?

Meng Xilan's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, her palms were soaked with sweat, and her heart was very entangled.
