This sentence fell on Meng Xilan's ears like thunder, her heart was pounding inexplicably, and the whole person panicked together, as if she had done something wrong. She didn't know what Chu Jingchuan had heard and seen, and she didn't know if she had room to explain clearly.

Preconceived prejudices often make misunderstandings deeper, and finally slowly become a dead knot that cannot be untied.

"Brother Jingchuan......" hesitated and opened his mouth, and before he finished speaking, Chu Jingchuan suddenly turned around, turned his back to her and said, "It's okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand, I understand." ”

He was actually very uncertain in his heart, and he didn't know what she would say to him...... Before the expedition, he had asked her once, but he would like to marry him as soon as he returned, but she did not nod and say yes. At that time, she wanted to speak and stopped, and he still remembered it clearly. At that time, he didn't understand why she didn't want to stay by her side in peace, even though she had him in her heart...... The puzzles and confusions that used to be incomprehensible now seem to have all the answers.

Perhaps, she is not afraid of herself, but the prince...... Thinking of this, Chu Jingchuan's fists clenched instantly, and with the force of anger, the bone joints creaked.

If Zhou Youlin dares to covet Meng Xilan, then even if he fights for his life, he will compete with him to the end! But if the prince is also in Meng Xilan's heart, he may have to admit defeat and admit defeat in disgrace......

Meng Xilan quietly looked at Chu Jingchuan's back, although he didn't move and didn't speak, she could still clearly feel the complex emotions that were constantly entangled and intertwined from his heart.

That's right, at this moment, the man in front of her is thinking nonsense alone.

"You obviously don't understand anything, you don't understand anything." Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

Chu Jingchuan's body paused slightly when he heard this, but he still didn't turn around, just stood stiffly in place.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing gave each other a look, and retreated lightly, quietly guarding the door, not letting others approach and disturb.

"You rushed back all the way, you must have something to ask me, don't you?" Meng Xilan took the initiative to stretch out her hand, gently held Chu Jingchuan's arm, and shook it slightly: "Brother Jingchuan, please take a good look at me, and then tell me, what are you worried about?" ”

The thoughts in Chu Jingchuan's heart kept tumbling, and he was slightly speechless for a while.

Meng Xilan didn't give him time to hesitate, and wrenched his arms with both hands, allowing him to stand face to face with him.

The two looked at each other, Chu Jingchuan's eyes were full of waves, looking at Meng Xilan's warm and quiet face, the sadness in his eyes was released little by little.

Meng Xilan waited and waited, but she didn't see him speak for a long time, so she couldn't help but bring an emotional tone and asked, "Brother Jingchuan, don't you believe me?" ”

Chu Jingchuan shook his head: "No, it's not." ”

"You're worried that I'll change my mind because of the prince...... Or even give up our marriage contract, don't you? ”

Since he didn't ask, she had to take the initiative to say it, because only by asking so sharply could the misunderstanding between the two people be eliminated and no suspicion could be left.

"That's not what I meant...... I ......" Chu Jingchuan's lips moved slightly, sobbing his breath, trying to consider every word, neither wanting to hurt Meng Xilan nor his self-esteem. When leading the troops to fight, he was never afraid in his heart, even when he was in the enemy camp, he never retreated or hesitated, but now, he hesitated.

"If you don't ask me, you'll regret it." Meng Xilan suddenly felt a little sad, she hadn't done anything to make him sad, but why didn't he believe it?

When Chu Jingchuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and sighed with a smile: "Lan'er, I'm not suspicious of you, I just feel a little useless." At the beginning, I kept saying that I wanted you to live the most stable and comfortable life, but unfortunately, I seemed to be too self-conscious. If the prince really has to be you, maybe, in the end, I can only gamble with my own net worth and life to fight with him, but I don't know if I can protect you in the end and let you have no worries. ”

His words pierced Meng Xilan's heart like a pinprick, she endured the heartache and said softly: "When will I let you fight, fight?" Marriage is not child's play, how can it be said that change will change? I should have been your wife, as long as you don't regret it, I won't regret it, I chose you...... You don't understand how sad I am these days......" she raised her fists as she said and hit Chu Jingchuan's chest one by one, at first she didn't use much force, but as she played, she used more and more strength, as if she wanted to vent the anger and grievances that had accumulated in her heart for a long time.

It was the first time Chu Jingchuan saw Meng Xilan's serious and angry appearance, although her chest was a little painful from being beaten by her, she didn't move, letting her treat herself as an angry punching bag.

After a long time, she lost her strength, lowered her head while panting, her head rested lightly on Chu Jingchuan's chest, and said in a muffled voice: "When I entered the palace, I didn't think about leaving a way back for myself, I didn't think about ......"

The world is changing, and I don't know when the burden on her body becomes heavier and heavier, and the road under her feet begins to become more and more difficult. She can only support herself, and she can neither give up halfway, nor can she turn back in vain......

Chu Jingchuan was silent for a while, and suddenly realized whether she was crying, and hurriedly reached out to support her shoulders, and looked at her face with a nervous expression. Fortunately, she didn't cry, but her eyes were a little red, and deep sadness welled up under her eyes, an indescribable sadness.

"I'm sorry......" Chu Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, gently hugged her in his arms, and took the initiative to comfort her.

Meng Xilan's voice was still muffled, "What do you have to be sorry for?" ”

"I'm suspicious, confused, and I make you sad by saying the wrong thing." Chu Jingchuan reflected seriously in his tone.

Meng Xilan didn't push him away, just leaned on his arms, shook his head, and said softly, "It's me who is sorry." If we had gotten married earlier, maybe everything would be fine now. ”

The corners of Chu Jingchuan's mouth raised slightly, then slowly let go, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's not too late, but it's only been a year." ”

Meng Xilan leaned into his arms and stopped talking.

yes, I hope it's only a year...... As the days go by, people's minds are far away, and the patience of the Chu family runs out.

Yun Ge'er's 100-day banquet is simple, but it is also lively, the key is that it is rare for a family to get together and have something happy to have fun.

In the evening, Meng Xilan left Meng's house and set off to return to the palace, only to enter the palace gate, and saw Gao Fuli with two little eunuchs, standing at the door and stomping his feet in a hurry.

"Xiao Lizi, come here......" Meng Xilan lifted the sedan curtain and called him to talk.

Gao Fuli bowed down and ran over, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master, there is an accident in the palace again." ”

Meng Xilan sighed in her heart when she heard this, and she wrung her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Fuli leaned in front of the car and whispered: "Li Jieyu of Qixia Palace suddenly slipped a tire, and the imperial heir in her womb is gone...... The emperor was furious, and the queen mother was also angry, and she was in the Cining Palace at this time. ”

Li Jieyu...... Meng Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the musk, and her back was cold again.

Sure enough, her child still couldn't be saved...... Counting the days, it's been six months.

"Let's go, hurry back to Cining Palace." Things are crashing in front of you, it's hard to think about it, Meng Xilan has nowhere to hide, the Queen Mother will have a headache when she is angry, and no one around her can persuade her......

In the main hall of Cining Palace, the lights were bright, illuminating everyone's faces with white light.

Zhou Shixian sat on the throne with a calm face, and his gloomy eyes swept everyone in front of him, as if he wanted to see clearly who was the poisonous woman who harmed people.

The Queen Mother held her forehead with one hand, rubbed her temples, and said coldly: "The imperial doctor said that Li Jieyu had a miscarriage, not because of the fetal gas caused by a fall, but because of the long-term intake of cold things such as musk and safflower...... The mourning family didn't understand, how did these taboo things get close to her? Where did it come from? You are all concubines in the palace, so why don't you give the mourning family an explanation first. ”

Li Jieyu's child has been six months old, but as a result, she was stillborn and could only be induced to give birth.

The Queen Mother accidentally saw a glimpse of the baby who was taken out by the palace maids, and she was so frightened that she immediately had a headache.

The concubines led by the queen sat quietly and heard this, and their expressions changed slightly.

The Queen Mother pursued it like this, it can be seen that there must be some conspiracy hidden in Li Jieyu's slippery fetus, and the simplest inference is that she must have been victimized.

Empress Su was the first to get up, saluted and said, "The concubine is guilty." The concubine ruled the six palaces, and she should have taken strict care of the imperial heir in Li Jieyu's womb, but she didn't expect that someone would use such an insidious plan...... Concubine ......" As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears, as if she really felt sorry for the child in Li Jieyu's womb, and she looked heartbroken.

Zhou Shixian looked at her expressionlessly, as if he didn't believe that her tears were real. His son was gone, and the murderer was among them, and he knew that he couldn't believe it.

For some reason, Murong Qiao, who is usually calm and restrained, had a slightly uneasy look in her eyes, and she kept looking at Zhou Shixian's expression from the corner of her eye.

"Queen, Queen, you are not guilty, you are incompetent...... The emperor asked you to sit in the middle palace, but you can't even keep a little baby......" The Queen Mother slowly let go of the hand rubbing her temples, raised her eyes to look at Queen Su, and reprimanded softly.

Queen Su's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.

The Queen Mother raised her hand, pointed at Murong Qiao and said, "Concubine Ning, you come and ...... When Li Jieyu had an accident, wasn't it in your palace? ”

Murong Qiao's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine really doesn't know anything. ”

"Humph! You don't know, there are so many people in the palace, it belongs to your brain and mind that you have a lot of ideas, and the mourning family only asks you, are you a black hand? ”

Murong Qiaocheng knelt down in fear and said, "The concubine has been wronged, the concubine really hasn't done anything...... It was Li Jieyu who accidentally fell down herself......"

Now, it's true that she's too careless...... But it's too late to regret it now.
