If you like someone, you often don't need so many reasons, like is like.

For the first time, Zhulu said what she had hidden for a long time in front of her master.

She likes Jiao Changqing, but she still knows that Jiao Changqing will not like her.

Zhulu bit her lower lip tightly and looked up at her master's face.

At this time, Meng Xilan's face did not have the slightest expression of displeasure, her expression was very calm, her brows were stretched, and she said lightly: "The master is the benefactor of this palace, and this palace can't force him to do anything." ”

Meng Xilan's heart really thought of Zhulu's goodness, she had done a lot of things for her over the years, and she wanted to arrange a good home for her, but Jiao Changqing ...... He is also her benefactor.

Zhulu nodded earnestly, knelt down and stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the slave knows that Master Jiao is your benefactor, and the slave and maid have nothing to think about, the slave and maid just want to stay in the palace and see him from time to time...... The slave and maid are self-aware, and as long as the slave and maid can look at him from a distance, the slave and the maid will be satisfied. ”

With that, she lowered her head.

Meng Xilan sighed softly when she heard this: "Zhulu, you have wronged yourself too much. ”

The best years of a woman's life are only a few years. She waited so humbly, and the result she waited for would never be the result she hoped for in her heart.

Zhulu smiled tearfully: "Niangniang, the slave is not wronged at all, the slave is ...... Willingly stay in the palace and serve the mother. ”

She didn't really accept her fate, she just had no other way. She didn't want to expect too much from Jiao Changqing, because the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Meng Xilan let out another long sigh when she heard this.

Zhu Lu slowly put away her tears: "The prince is still young, and Niangniang's body is recovering again, and it is the time when you need slaves." However, Zhuqing's age is not too young, so it is better for Niangniang to promise her a good family affair first, but Zhuqing's girl may not be willing to leave Niangniang......"

Meng Xilan pondered for a moment before she said: "You are all the closest people in this palace, you are reluctant, where can this palace be reluctant...... Well, let's talk about that later. ”

Zhulu nodded silently.

Early the next morning, Jiao Changqing came to ask for a safe pulse for Meng Xilan.

Xu was because of last night's incident, Zhulu entered the house with tea, and inadvertently met Jiao Changqing's gaze, and suddenly blushed, with a panicked look in his eyes.

Her heart has been hidden very deeply, and now that her master knows it, she is not afraid. What she was most afraid of was that Jiao Changqing would know, worried that he would look down on her because of this, or be disgusted with her.

Jiao Changqing has always been a careful person, and when he saw that her expression was different, he didn't care slightly.

Zhu Lu was panicked in her heart, but when she saw Jiao Changqing's eyes firmly locked on her, she was even more confused.

Her hands shook and she almost dropped the bowl on the floor.

Jiao Changqing's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, looked at Zhu Lu, and then at Meng Xilan, puzzled.

Meng Xilan glanced at Zhu Lu and only said, "Zhu Lu, you haven't recovered from the cold, don't come over to serve, go down and rest." ”

She deliberately made an excuse for her, and Zhulu immediately retreated.

Who knows, Jiao Changqing suddenly spoke: "Miss Zhulu, are you unwell?" Why don't you let the minister come and see it for her? ”

After all, he is a doctor, and everything is just a gesture.

Hearing this, Zhulu hurriedly waved her hand and said no, "No, don't bother the adult, the slave is just ...... It's just a minor illness. ”

Jiao Changqing's thick eyebrows frowned deeper: "If you are sick, you are sick, and you can't neglect a minor illness, otherwise, if you accidentally drag it into a big illness, you will have endless troubles." ”

At this time, Zhulu's face was blushing and flustered, and she looked really sick.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan had to speak again: "Master, Zhulu is really fine." ”

After curtsimming, Zhulu hurriedly retreated.

After the bamboo is exposed, the cheeks should be only

Jiao Changqing returned to his seat, took out the pulse pillow and said, "Niangniang, Miss Zhulu is a little strange today. ”

Meng Xilan's heart moved when she heard this, and she said in a gentle voice: "Oh, I didn't expect you to care so much about Zhulu, master." ”

Jiao Changqing's face changed slightly, his deep eyes stared at Meng Xilan, and he said lightly: "People and things related to Niangniang, Weichen is very concerned and cares. ”

He didn't know why she was making fun of herself, he didn't like her like that.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and said nothing, but slowly stretched out her wrist. After a while, she slowly spoke: "Master, all these years have relied on your skillful hands and benevolence to save the life of the palace and the safety of the prince." ”

"Don't be polite, the minister just did his duty."

Meng Xilan stared at him, thought for a while, and then said: "There has been a lot of turmoil before, but now everything is peaceful. The master should also be idle and leisurely, and, according to the master's age, it is long overdue to marry a wife and have children. ”

This was not what she should have said, but for some reason, by accident, she still said it.

Jiao Changqing raised his eyes sharply when he heard this, and his deep eyes suddenly became sharp: "Niangniang, what do you mean by this?" ”

For no reason, she mentioned this stubble, did she want to protect the media for him?

Meng Xilan smiled faintly: "This palace is abrupt today, I hope the master will not be surprised." Hongu is just kind......"

Before she finished speaking, Jiao Changqing raised his hand to stop him, and he looked at Meng Xilan, the disappointment in his eyes was unobstructed.

Marry a wife and have children...... It seems that she has really forgotten his true heart. Forget it, it's okay if you don't know, otherwise it will be a danger for him and the Jiao family.

Jiao Changqing did not show the slightest displeasure, and a helpless smile curled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Minister, thank you for your concern." It's just that the minister has no intention of marrying, and he doesn't want to mislead people for life. The minister just wants to concentrate on medical skills, so that Niangniang's body can recover as soon as possible, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can grow up safely. ”

He already has someone in his heart, and he can't pretend to be someone else. Is it just for the sake of succession?

His slender fingers rested on Meng Xilan's wrist, and after a while, he said, "Niangniang's pulse is stable, her qi and blood are smooth, and there is nothing abnormal." ”

"With the master here, the palace is naturally fine."

The atmosphere in the room became a little silent for a while, and when Jiao Changqing was leaving, he looked at Meng Xilan and said, "Niangniang, the minister has something to request." ”

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised when she heard this, and only said to him: "Master, if you have any requirements, just say." ”

Jiao Changqing looked serious and said in a serious tone: "The minister hopes that the mother will not worry about the minister's marriage in the future." ”

Thinking about it carefully, her words today are indeed strange, and Zhulu's performance is indeed abnormal, so it is easy to understand that it is connected back and forth.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly: "This palace understands." ”

Jiao Changqing picked up the medicine box on his back, and after arching his hand to her, he turned around and left.

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he happened to meet Gao Fuli, and Gao Fuli smiled with a smile on his face: "Master Jiao, you came to ask Niangniang for peace again?" ”

If Jiao Changqing usually greeted him, he would naturally have a few words of greeting, but today, his chest was choked, his mood was extremely complicated, and he really didn't have the heart to meet others.

He nodded to Gao Fufu and left with a straight face.

Gao Fuli was stunned for a moment, then he also lowered his face, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Hmph, you don't know good things, you think you have something great!" ”

Jiao Changqing returned to the Tai Hospital all the way in a sullen manner, and the apprentices who were studying medicine saw that he was back, so they hurriedly surrounded him and asked him for pharmacology.

Jiao Changqing was distraught and only sent them out.

He locked himself in the room alone, facing the medicine cabinet, silently distracted.

He didn't know what he was angry about or what he was annoyed about, but his heart was just not happy.

After ten years of companionship, he knew that he would not be Meng Xilan's sweetheart. Now, she is the queen and the emperor is more in love than Jin Jian, what else can he do? He didn't have any big hopes, he just wanted her to be safe.

Thinking of this, Jiao Changqing couldn't help but chuckle, his smile was very bitter.

"Jiao Changqing, Jiao Changqing, what are you still hoping for? Love and love are illusory things, and in the end, they are just nothing. ”

……

In less than a month, Chang Hai's business outside the palace was wiped out by high welfare.

Chang Hai's minions inside and outside the palace, scratching and scratching, dying, and scattering trees.

Chang Hai didn't expect Gao Welfare to be so desperate, and he was angry and hateful in his heart.

All three houses in Changhai were copied, and things were in a uproar and unorthodox.

Above the court, some people made a big fuss and used the eunuch party to make trouble for Zhou Youchen.

When Meng Xilan learned of this, she only called Gao Fuli to her and asked in a deep voice: "This palace let you do Changhai, but it didn't let you make things all over the city. ”

Gao Fuli was ashamed: "The slave is guilty, and I ask the mother to punish him." ”

Meng Xilan's face sank slightly: "Punishment? What is the use of chastizing you? ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, Chang Hai is just a dog jumping off the wall." Gao Fuli gritted his teeth and said, "The slave will never spare him." ”

Meng Xilan said in a low voice: "The hands and feet are cleaner, and they are also sharper." ”

"Yes."

Gao Welfare bowed his head and retreated.

Zhulu was uneasy and went out with him.

"Little Lizi, you wait."

Gao Fuli saw her, and the expression on his face softened slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I've heard that a lot of ministers have been targeting you lately, you have to be careful......" Zhulu said a little lately.

Those people opened their mouths and closed their mouths to say that the eunuchs were in chaos, and high welfare is now considered a high power, and they must not be caught with pigtails.

Gao Fuli frowned and said, "Against us? ”

"The tree is a big wind, you have to be careful yourself." Zhulu reminded her again.

After all, in order to protect his master, he had a lot of blood on his hands.

Gao Fuli saw that she cared about herself, and her originally troubled mood instantly relaxed a lot, and he deliberately took a step closer in front of Zhu Lu and said, "Don't worry, the person who can calculate me has not yet been born." ”

Zhu Lu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, shook her head and said, "Now is not the time to be poor......

Before she could finish her words, Gao Fuli interjected and interrupted: "Don't worry, I'm fine." With that, he reached out and grabbed her hand.

Zhulu immediately shook off sensitively, glared at him and said, "Who said I was worried about you, I was worried about the master." With that, she walked away without looking back.

Gao Fuli stood in place, bowing his head and rubbing his fingertips, only to feel that it was slippery and greasy, it must be the fat powder on her hand.
