In the past month or so, Meng Xilan finally had a good night's sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, my eyes were shining, revealing joy that overflowed with words.

When she asked for peace, the Queen Mother explained a few words to her, which was nothing more than asking her to take care of Zhou Youning, not to follow her temperament, and let her be willful.

Zhou Youning pouted when he heard this: "Imperial grandmother, you are nagging again." ”

While speaking, Gonggong Lu came in with a smile and reported, "Your Royal Highness has invited you to come here." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, only to feel rare.

Seeing him come in, Meng Xilan hurriedly got up and bowed, and then stood aside.

Zhou Youlin first saluted the Queen Mother, and then turned his head to look at her and Zhou Youning, only to see that both of them were in good spirits, as if they had encountered something good.

The Queen Mother said to Meng Xilan: "You are ready, let's set off early." ”

But it's only half a day's view,

Zhou Youning agreed, holding Meng Xilan's hand, "Sister, let's go." ”

Zhou Youlin asked her, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhou Youning replied with a smile: "Go to Sister Meng's house to play." ”

Zhou Youlin looked at Meng Xilan and thought, no wonder she looked so happy today.

Meng Xilan didn't look at Zhou Youlin, but just walked out of Cining Palace with Zhou Youning.

After they left, the Queen Mother looked at Zhou Youlin and said gently: "Why do you have time to come here today?" Didn't your father ask you to help deal with the disaster relief in Changzhou? ”

Among the nine princes, except for the crown prince, only Zhou Youlin can participate in political affairs.

Zhou Youlin said: "My grandson is here for the prince's brother's affairs." ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother took the tea, looked at Zhou Youlin and said, "Say it." ”

"The second brother was poisoned before and almost died. Although the poisoned slave bit his tongue and killed himself, the conspiracy behind this has not yet been investigated...... Therefore, the grandson felt that this matter could not be delayed, and it was necessary to find out as soon as possible. ”

He was very concerned about this matter, but not because he was concerned about the prince's safety, but because he was worried that he would not die...... The concubine told him that this matter was not right.

The Queen Mother sighed slightly: "It's hard for you to be so careful...... However, this matter may not be as complicated as you think. The eunuch was dead, and the clues on his body were broken. The mourning family has its own arrangements, so you don't have to bother with it. There is such an embarrassing thing in the palace, and it is better to deal with it in a low-key manner. ”

When Zhou Youlin heard this, he understood what the Queen Mother meant, so he should not mention it.

However, in my heart, I am more sure of the mother's thoughts, and there must be something hidden in this.

The person who poisoned him was not to kill the prince, but to help the prince turn over.

Zhou Youlin thought so, his eyes wandered and glanced at the Queen Mother, and he intuitively felt that this matter was inseparable from the imperial grandmother.

…

After leaving the palace gate, Meng Xilan lifted the curtain, looked outside, and took a deep breath.

Although there is only a wall apart, the air outside the palace still makes Meng Xilan miss it very much.

Although Zhou Youning was also very excited, in the end, it was a child's heart, and after sitting for a long time, he couldn't sit still.

She looked at the bustling streets outside, her eyes tightened.

"Sister Lan, shall we go down and have a look?"

Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "It'll be here in a while." The streets are full of people, and I am afraid that it is not safe. After speaking, she pointed to the two teams of people and horses accompanying the carriage, they were all Ouchi guards, all dressed in civilian clothes, and they were patrolling left and right with serious expressions. And even if I were willing to obey you, they wouldn't. ”

Zhou Youning sighed lightly, leaned on the side of the car window, and looked outside.

In a moment, an unusually loud whistle caught Zhou Youning's attention.

She probed out, and Meng Xilan was about to stop her, when she heard her waving and cheering happily: "Fourth brother! ”

Fourth brother?!

Meng Xilan's eyebrows jumped, leaned forward, followed Zhou Youning's line of sight, and sure enough, she saw two people riding behind the car, Zhou Youlin was wearing a silver rat hair and riding a jujube red horse, and followed the carriage step by step, and the person who accompanied him was the second brother Meng Xiran.

Coincidental! Didn't he just go to say hello to the Queen Mother? Why is this out of the palace again?

However, when she could see the second brother Meng Xiran, Meng Xilan was still overjoyed, and she hurriedly beckoned to the second brother.

Zhou Youlin and Meng Xiran rode their horses to catch up and came to the side of the carriage.

"Fourth brother, where are you going?" Zhou Youning was the first to ask.

Zhou Youlin raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead: "Anguo Mansion." ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at her brother Meng Xiran, only to see him nodding slightly to herself, signaling her not to worry.

Zhou Youlin also glanced at Meng Xilan, and looking at her expression, he knew that she didn't welcome herself.

The group was waiting for the gate of the Anguo Mansion, and the little guy waiting at the door saw it from a distance and hurriedly ran in to report.

After a moment's effort, the Meng family, young and old, all came out and stood outside the door waiting for the princess to come.

Old Lady Meng stood at the front, looking at the cars and horses that were getting closer and closer, only to hear Meng Zhenglu behind her, exhaled lightly, and reminded everyone: "The person riding the jujube red horse is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Meng family became nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.

Mrs. Meng was surprised in her heart, but she also knew that this was a good thing that she couldn't ask for.

Seeing that the Meng family was in such a battle, Zhou Youlin looked at Meng Xiran and smiled faintly: "Why do you need such a battle if you are mobilizing the people." ”

Meng Xiran lowered his head slightly and replied: "Princess and Your Royal Highness, your status is noble, and you must not neglect it. ”

Mrs. Meng led a large family to kneel on the ground to ask Zhou Youlin for peace, while Meng Xilan helped Zhou Youning get out of the carriage and looked at his grandmother and father.

"Hurry up. On such a cold day, there are not so many rules. Zhou Youlin put his hands behind his back, with a hint of an approachable smile on his white and handsome face, "I just happened to be passing by and wanted to come in and find a hot cup of tea." ”

Meng Zhenglu arched his hand and said: "The Fourth Highness is coming, and the minister will order someone to prepare fragrant tea, Your Highness, please!" Princess, please! ”

Zhou Youlin was in the upper position, and Meng Zhenglu and Meng Xizhao sat on both sides and talked to him.

The prepared tea is Meng Zhenglu's favorite Biluochun, and when the lid of the cup is lifted, the room is full of fragrance, which makes people soothing and relaxed.

Zhou Youning sat all the way in the carriage, and she couldn't sit still at this time, so Meng Xilan had to take her to see her yard and boudoir.

The sisters and sisters of the big room and the second room also passed together, and it was more lively when there were more people. Qiao Huiyun looked at Meng Xilan's eyes were slightly red, but there was a smile on her face, she took her hand and said, "You are finally back." ”

Hearing that Meng Xilan was back, she also brought Her Royal Highness the princess with her, and Meng Xilan, who had been treated coldly recently, naturally wanted to go over and have a look.

It's just that after waiting for a while, I didn't see anyone send a message to her to pass.

She was unwilling, so she simply went over by herself.

She hid in a corner of the courtyard, and when she heard someone coming, she hid, and when she looked up, she could vaguely see a little girl surrounded by a pink carving and jade, like a fairy.

That must be Her Royal Highness the Princess......

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a familiar figure, and she saw Meng Xilan.

I haven't seen her for a month, Meng Xilan today is very different from before, she has always loved simplicity the most, but now she is wearing treasure with jade, full of gorgeousness, and her whole body is bright, as if she has been brushed with a faint golden light.

Meng Xiyue's intuition was so dazzling, and her heart was also tingling, as if someone was poking hard with a thin needle.

Meng Xilan, why are you so beautiful? Why?
