Chapter 102: A Glimmer of Life (3)
The tent was warm, Zhou Youlin took off his black cloak, waved his hand and scolded the attendants, only Zhulu stood aside, not moving.
He turned and glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were defensive, as if she was ready to watch out for him at all times.
Meng Xilan raised her hand slightly, signaling that Zhulu was okay. Zhou Youlin must have something to say, and it is inconvenient to keep people at this time.
Zhulu seemed to hesitate at her feet, but she still slowly retreated.
After she left, Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youlin, and when she saw that his face finally became angry, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the prince's complexion is much better." ”
It seems that he is really good, all the spirit and spirit are back, but his body is too thin and needs some time to recuperate.
Zhou Youlin looked at her smiling eyes, her eyes were clear and transparent, and she couldn't help but feel soft. Because of the fever, her lips are slightly pale, her face has a sickly red color, her delicate and weak demeanor is completely different from usual, usually she always looks calm and shrewd, she knows everything, she is not impatient with anyone, she looks docile, but with a light and distant meaning, just one word, one look up, you can reject people thousands of miles away...... It's not like now, because of his sickness, his long black hair is scattered, his eyes are soft, and his tone is soft, which makes people feel even more distressed.
He looked at her deeply, as if sighing, before he spoke, "I'll leave tonight." ”
Meng Xilan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, nodded and said, "This is the best, the safety of the prince is the most important." The fighting factions in the palace, the prince must know in his heart, this camp looks safe, but it will inevitably be inserted by someone with a heart to insert some eyeliner. ”
Zhou Youlin nodded slightly. He did not shy away from sitting on the edge of her bed, reached out and touched her forehead, and said gently, "Are you still uncomfortable?" The taste of fever is the most difficult. ”
His fingertips were cold, with the spring chill outside.
Meng Xilan was stunned, reacted, and said with a smile: "With Lord Jiao here, the prince doesn't need to worry about me." Now, I'm still sick, and the prince still shouldn't get too close to me, so as not to get sick again, and it's another toss. ”
Zhou Youlin slowly withdrew his hand when he heard this, and he could see the alienation behind her smile.
She was worried that he was real, she cared that he was real, but her heart was not close to him, and it was also true.
Come to think of it, her slave and maid really didn't say a word about the events of that night. He kept her all night, but she didn't know, and he was even more sure of her heart, and she didn't know either.
Thinking of the situation with her that day, Zhou Youlin's heart was like a raging fire was lit, burning his internal organs inappropriately.
"Lord Wang......" Seeing him looking at himself alone, Meng Xilan coughed lightly, interrupted his thoughts, and said, "Go back and rest." It's time to take medicine in a while, it's smelling of medicine everywhere......"
Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Youlin: "I don't dislike it, so don't always push me away." I just want to sit with you and I'll leave when it's dark. ”
He does not call himself "Lord Wang", but only "I".
Meng Xilan was stunned again, and lowered her head and said "oh".
Something wasn't quite right for him today, especially when he looked at her, and there was an indescribable sense of urgency. This situation is what worries her the most.
Zhou Youlin saw her head down, raised his hand and stroked her sideburns, and stroked her earlobe with his fingertips.
Such a move is undoubtedly anachronistic and unruly.
Meng Xilan's expression changed instantly, she turned her head, avoided Zhou Youlin's touch, her eyes were slightly condensed, and she said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, you can't be close to me like this." You were sick and bedridden before, and I took care of you because before leaving the palace, Concubine Ning had instructions that I couldn't break my trust in her. If I do something wrong and make the prince misunderstand, then I ......"
Zhou Youlin seemed to have expected that she would say this, and then interrupted her coldly: "I have misunderstood. Meng Xilan, if you want to talk to me now, it's too late! Also, the trick of trying to catch the old is useless to me! ”
After that night, no matter what her intentions were, whether she ran away or hid, he would not miss her.
"Lord Wang, these words make me panic." The surprise in Meng Xilan's eyes was obvious, she looked at him and said, "The relationship between the Meng family and the prince is inextricably linked, and I am also doing my best for the prince, why did you say that the Chu River Han realm came from?" It doesn't matter if the prince misunderstands me, but don't misunderstand the position of the Meng family and the loyalty and sincerity of my father and brother. What is Wanton? When did I indulge in the king's desire to capture the prince......"
The more she spoke, the more urgent she became, a tingling pain in her throat, and she couldn't help coughing.
Zhou Youlin reached out and wanted to pat her back, but she pushed her away, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her eyes became sharp. "I don't want to indulge anyone, let alone entangle anyone, since the prince is well, he should prepare to return to the palace as soon as possible, I am not feeling well, I will not accompany him, the prince will go slowly!"
Her angry appearance, he saw it for the first time, her expression was full of anger and helplessness, which inexplicably made people worry for a while.
Meng Xilan coughed for a while, her face was very red, and her forehead was sweating slightly, looking extremely uncomfortable.
When his breath was undecided, he only heard Zhou Youlin's voice ringing in his ears again: "Meng Xilan, I like you." ”
Meng Xilan was stunned for a moment, her ears seemed to explode with a thunderclap, her brain rumbled, and her eyes widened to look at him.
Is she having a fever, or is he not well ill, so his brain is not clear?
Zhou Youlin looked at her with heavy eyes for a while, lowered his voice as if gritting his teeth, and said to her again: "I like you." Even if you don't pester me, I will always pester you. ”
He will be entangled with her for the rest of his life until she willingly follows him. As soon as he said this, Zhou Youlin's chest could finally beat unscrupulously according to the long-standing heartbeat.
"I know you're married, so what? As long as you don't marry Chu Jingchuan for a day, you are not a member of the Chu family. I know you don't have me in your heart, so what? As long as I tie you to my side for the rest of my life, sooner or later you will have a day when you are willing to me! ”
His sworn tone already foreshadowed his intentions and plans.
As long as there is a will, the marriage contract between the two families of Meng Chu can be invalidated, and Meng Xilan can be his person!
When Zhou Youlin got up to leave, Meng Xilan had not yet recovered from the shock, and she looked at his back as he walked away with some astonishment.
As soon as Zhou Youlin left, Zhulu broke in. "Miss, are you alright?"
Meng Xilan stroked her chest and sat up straight: "It's okay, it's just a cough." ”
Even though she said that, the expression on her face didn't look like she was okay.
Zhu Lu was worried: "Miss, is it the prince and he ...... again" halfway through the words, but endured it again.
Meng Xilan's eyebrows moved, and she felt that there was something in her words: "Zhulu, come here." ”
Zhulu bit her lip and leaned over to the bed and lowered her head.
"Zhulu, did the prince tell you something? Or have you heard something? ”
Zhulu was anxious, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and after thinking about it, she still felt that she couldn't hide the events of that night.
Zhu Lu turned her heart sideways, and told her everything about when Meng Xilan was sick and Zhou Youlin stayed with her all night.
After hearing this, Meng Xilan's body immediately shuddered, and her heart was even more chaotic.
Seeing this, Zhulu knelt on the ground with a thud, and said with a crying voice: "It's all the slave's fault, the slave and the maid should stop the prince, it's all the slave and the maid who are not good......"
Meng Xilan was a little anxious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Zhu Lu wanted to speak and stopped: "The young lady is very sick, the prince doesn't know how to measure, and the slave is afraid that you will be embarrassed......"
Meng Xilan sighed helplessly: "Right now, I'm afraid it's going to be even more difficult for me." ”
Zhou Youlin's thoughts, she was vaguely aware of it before, so she arranged those things to show her situation. It's just that if she and Zhou Youlin really have a skin-to-skin relationship, then the situation will be a different matter.
Just now, Zhou Youlin's expression and tone didn't look like he was talking casually, he was serious.
The blurry layer of window paper was pierced, how will he and her get along when they return to the palace in the future? If he did something out of the ordinary, wouldn't her situation become even more difficult!
"Miss, the slave has repeatedly reminded the prince that you are the one who has been married." For the sake of Miss, she really can't say what she can't say, she has already said it, but the prince is the prince, how can she listen to the words of a little slave.
Meng Xilan saw that she was still kneeling on the ground, so she only asked her to get up and speak: "I always thought you were the smartest, but I didn't expect you to be confused." Forget it, I can't blame you about this matter, he is the prince after all, and you can't mess with him. ”
Zhulu got up and wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "Miss, the prince is not pure for you, you have to stay away from him in the future......"
Meng Xilan let out a soft sigh when she heard this: "Let's take a step and see a step." He is so reckless and absurd, after returning to the palace, I am afraid that there will inevitably be another turmoil. ”
He said that he would be entangled to the end, so how could he give up easily? In the past, Zhou Youlin was the fourth prince, and now he is Prince Xian, and the future of the Meng family is still on him, how can he still draw a line with him?
Just thinking about it already gave her a headache. Meng Xilan lay back on the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and was stuffy alone.
Zhu Lu gently pulled her quilt: "Miss, don't suffocate yourself." If you really feel embarrassed, why don't you discuss it with Lord Chu after returning to the palace, maybe he has a way? ”
Meng Xilan closed her eyes and shook her head gently: "I can't involve him and the Chu family yet, I provoked the matter myself, and I will solve it myself." ”
Her mind turned and turned, once Zhou Youlin returned to the palace, he might not be able to do whatever he wanted, and he could do whatever he wanted. Concubine Ning is such a smart and clear person, how could she let her son cause senseless trouble for the sake of a woman......
Even if Zhou Youlin wanted to entangle with her to the end, as long as Murong Qiao was there, she would not agree.
