But after an hour's effort, the children of the Meng family came. Brother Yun, Brother Rong, and Zhen'er, accompanied by Changsheng and worry-free, several children played in one place, so lively.

Meng Xilan and Zhou Youning sat under the porch, looking at the children, smiling and squinting.

After a while, the palace maids came over with fruits.

When Jane saw the grapes, her eyes were fixed and she didn't move. She slowly crawled up to her mother, stretched out a meaty finger, pointed to the grapes on the table, and made two sounds.

Zhou Youning beckoned and asked the children to come over and eat the fruit together.

Meng Xilan took out a handkerchief, wiped the grapes, peeled the skin with her own hands, and sent it to Zhen'er's mouth, saying with a smile: "It turns out that our Zhen'er likes to eat grapes the most." ”

Jane sipped the sweet grapes and laughed contentedly.

Meng Xilan peeled another grape and sent it to Changsheng's mouth.

The children gathered together to eat the fruit, and the palace maids next to them followed over one by one, staring at their respective little masters, for fear that they would not serve them well.

Meng Xilan hugged Zhen'er, stood up, patted twice, and her eyes skimmed over the faces of those maids, but she didn't see Zhulu.

She was about to ask a question, but saw Zhulu hurrying out of the apse, still holding a small burden in her hand.

"The slave and maid greet the mother, and the eldest princess asks for peace."

Zhulu stepped forward to salute, and Meng Xilan saw her dress and knew that she wanted to go out of the palace.

"Niangniang, the slave maid has a request...... Before she finished speaking, Meng Xilan nodded in agreement.

"Today, this palace wants to catch up with the eldest princess, you go out of the palace first. Do everything you need to do......"

There is no need to guess, the bamboo dew palace must be for Jiao Changqing.

Zhulu was overjoyed when she heard this, and she was busy kowtowing to thank her.

Zhou Youning saw that Zhu Lu was in a hurry, and he didn't feel strange in his heart.

She's an old man next to her mother. usually guards the master inch by inch, but now he has begun to walk around outside the palace.

"Niangniang, you are outside the palace, do you have anything important?"

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly when she heard this: "It's not that there is something wrong in this palace, but something is wrong with Zhulu." ”

She has Jiao Changqing in her heart, and she has been in a trance and uneasy for the past few days.

Dr. Jiao's illness is said to be hopeless.

Meng Xilan hugged Zhen'er and looked into the distance with a faint gaze, hoping that when the day came, the master's heart would not be too sad.

Zhulu carried a small burden and rode a carriage all the way to Jiaofu.

Everyone in the Jiao family knew that she was from the palace and was very polite to her. But now, for some reason, their expressions are panicked.

"Here comes the girl......"

Zhu Lu saw that his face was different, and only said, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong with your master? ”

As soon as she said this, she regretted it, but she cared about it, and she couldn't care so much for a while.

The little girl in Tsing Yi shook his head and said: "My lord fell ill again last night, and the adults followed him for a night, and he lost his eyes for a night." ”

When Zhulu heard this, her heart hurt slightly.

"Where is your Excellency now?"

"Back girl, my adult is in the pharmacy." After the little girl in Tsing Yi finished speaking, let her go inside.

The pharmacy of the Jiao family is no smaller than that in the palace hospital, so it is natural to have something.

The little guy went to pass the word, and Zhu Lu vaguely saw Jiao Changqing's side face through the window.

"Girl, my lord, please come in."

Zhu Lu walked away slowly, and saw Jiao Changqing standing in the middle of the house with his hands behind his back.

His face was haggard, and his eyes were red.

"My lord......" Zhulu looked distressed and stepped forward to be concerned.

"The queen told you to come again?" Jiao Changqing's voice was hoarse, with deep exhaustion.

"No, it's not the slave who the mother told the slave to come today, it's the slave and the maid themselves."

Zhulu took out the small bag she was carrying, and slowly opened it in front of him.

"Your Excellency, this is the time of distress, and the slave and maid can't help you much...... These are some home remedies that the slave maid heard about in the palace, and I invite the adults to take a look. ”

Folk prescription...... Jiao Changqing shook his head slightly when he heard this: "My father is seriously ill, and home remedies are useless." Thank you for your kindness. ”

Zhulu's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said; "Slaves and maids are incompetent, and they can't help adults."

Jiao Changqing groaned slightly, returned to the medicine cabinet, looked up at the names of the medicines that he had already been familiar with, and felt upset for no reason.

He suddenly reached out and pushed all the herbs on the table to the ground, his hands propped up on the table, his shoulders slightly heaving.

"Your Excellency!" Zhu Lu was stunned, and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the herbs on the ground.

She was inexplicably flustered. Why are adults angry all of a sudden?

"My lord, is there anything the slave can do to help you?"

Jiao Changqing lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Zhulu, I want to enter the palace." ”

"Huh? Zhulu was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly looked up at him: "My lord, if you want to enter the palace, you can do it at any time." ”

"No, I'm going to go into the palace to see Niangniang." Jiao Changqing said in a deep voice. "Only she can help me ......"

Right now, he only has one last and only chance left to save his father.

Zhulu opened her mouth slightly, nodded her head and said, "If it's an adult, it's naturally no problem." However, Niangniang is now catching up with the eldest princess, I'm afraid it's ......"

Jiao Changqing interrupted her and said, "Later in the evening, I will go back to the palace with you." ”

If he hadn't made up his mind sooner, he feared that his only opportunity would have been missed.

Zhulu did not refuse, and nodded again and again.

She and Jiao Changqing entered the palace in the same carriage, and they didn't say a word on the way, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Zhu Lu has been paying attention to Jiao Changqing's face, although he is handsome, but when he is serious, he gives people a gloomy feeling.

By this time, it was almost dark.

After entering the palace, Zhulu looked at Jiao Changqing and said, "Do you want to go with the slave and maid now, or wait for the slave and maid to tell the mother?" ”

Jiao Changqing said in a deep voice: "Go now." ”

He really wasn't in the mood to wait any longer.

"Yes." Zhulu nodded and took him all the way to Cining Palace.

Who knows, unfortunately, the emperor is also there at this time.

The two of them were talking together, and they ordered the palace people to leave.

Jiao Changqing's eyes sank, realizing that he had come at the wrong time.

Zhu Lu looked at him embarrassedly: "My lord, what can I do about this?" ”

Jiao Changqing turned his back and said, "I'll go to the Tai Hospital first, and when my mother is free, you can help me deliver a message." ”

Zhulu was naturally willing, and turned around. But she didn't take two steps, and turned back: "My lord, what if the emperor stays at Niangniang's place today?" ”

Jiao Changqing took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I have to see my mother." ”

"Got it, the slave will speak for the adults."

Zhulu left this sentence and hurried away.

Jiao Changqing stood outside Cining Palace, looked up at the sky, and suddenly said to himself: "I thought there would be no such day, but I didn't expect it to come." ”

Zhulu returned to the palace to serve, and saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already asleep, so he told the nurses to take care of it carefully.

"I have something to go to Niangniang, you have to be optimistic about His Royal Highness the Prince, and you can't break people for a moment."

After Zhulu explained carefully, she went to wait outside Niangniang's bedroom.

Gao Fuli was lazy eating tea, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly poured her another cup and said, "Come, taste the Biluochun that is only available in the palace." ”

Zhulu didn't have the leisure to drink tea now, so he only pushed the tea bowl to him and said, "No need, you can drink it yourself." ”

Gao Fuli saw her sullen appearance, and only said, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Zhulu is reluctant to tell the truth, only to say; "No, we're all still on errands."

Gao Fuli smiled, only pushed the cup back to her and said, "You better have a drink." The emperor and the mother are in love, we can only wait...... By the way, do you remember that when we were waiting outside, we secretly went to the kitchen to roast chestnuts and eat them. ”

Zhulu nodded perfunctorily.

Gao Fuli said that he was happy alone, but when he saw that she didn't respond for a long time, he only said: "You are a little strange today." ”

"Hmm......" Zhulu still nodded.

Gao Fuli frowned and said "tsk", only to feel that she must have something on her mind.

"Are you out of the palace today?"

In the face of his question, Zhulu just shook her head.

"You are taking care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, why would Niang Niang suddenly send you out of the palace?"

Zhulu concealed her emotions and lowered her eyes slightly: "Don't ask so much." ”

After Gao Fuli sensed her emotions, he suddenly put down the tea bowl and said with a crisp sound: "Are you going to see Master Jiao?" ”

Zhu Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Father-in-law Gao, you want to manage too much." ”

When Gao Fuli heard this, he knew that she had really gone, and his face suddenly changed: "Sure enough, that's the case." Why have you begged the mother? Ask her to fulfill you? However, with your identity, it is absolutely impossible to be the official of Lord Jiao. Why, do you want to be his concubine? ”

Zhu Lu was so angry that she stood up all of a sudden, her face red and white for a while. "Little Lizi, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

Gao Fuli sneered and said, "Why did I say it?" So embarrassed? ”

Zhulu bit her lower lip and said, "I didn't ask for anything, I was just worried about Lord Jiao." ”

The anger in Gao Fuli's heart surged up, and he continued to sneer: "Hmph, I kindly persuade my sister, Master Jiao will definitely not look down on you!" ”

Zhulu was ashamed and angry, but she didn't want to quarrel with him.

She got up and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Gao Fuli's wrist: "My sister is usually so smart, why is she so stupid now." Lord Jiao doesn't like you at all, the person Lord Jiao likes is a mother! ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Zhulu subconsciously looked around, fortunately, at this moment, there was no one else, only the two of them.

This kind of thing is not nonsense, it will kill people!

Gao Welfare was also taken aback, and the whole person was stunned.

"Gao Welfare, you have the ability to say this in front of your mother, and say it again!" Zhulu was also ruthless, and just wanted to slap him directly.

Gao Fuli lowered his head, still holding her wrist, and didn't let go: "Don't be delusional, you can be with me honestly." ”

Zhu Lu shook off his hand vigorously and said, "Gao Welfare, you are delusional!" Don't forget, you're a eunuch, a eunuch! ”

The last thing Gao Fuli wanted to hear in his life came out of Zhulu's mouth.

Gao Fuli turned white and shook off Zhu Lu's hand.

Women are like that! Bear two faces under one hood! Before, he clearly said that he didn't dislike him as a eunuch, but now he took this as an excuse and gave him a knife!

Hmph, what a woman! It's just a stupid woman.

While talking, a little eunuch hurriedly ran outside: "Father-in-law, the emperor is going back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts." ”

Gao Fuli's face changed slightly, and he responded angrily: "Got it." ”

On the other side, Zhu Lu went all the way back to the prince's bedroom, who knows, Zhu Qing walked over and said, "Sister, where did you just go?" The emperor is gone, and the mother wants to see His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhu Lu was not completely discouraged, and when she heard the news, she only said: "I know, I'll go and carry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over." ”

Fang was almost confused by Gao Welfare, she still has something to do.

Zhu Lu came to the master with the sleeping Changsheng in her arms, and asked cautiously: "Niangniang, why did the emperor go back so early?" ”

Meng Xilan took Changsheng from her arms: "En, because there are still twists and turns to see." ”

"How's Old Lady Jiao?" Meng Xilan's heart was always thinking about the Jiao family.

"Still not good...... Very bad. ”

Meng Xilan sighed softly: "How is this good?" If you don't even have a master, others won't be able to think of a way. ”

After Zhulu said "um", Fang Cai said again: "Niangniang...... Actually, Master Jiao came to the palace today, and he wanted to see his mother. ”

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Yes, then you quickly invite him over." ”

Zhu Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and hurriedly turned around.

After a while, Jiao Changqing came to Meng Xilan and respectfully greeted him.

Meng Xilan didn't want to quarrel with Changsheng, so she only put him in the inner hall, and then went to the outer hall with Jiao Changqing to talk.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are really a lot haggard."

Hearing this, Jiao Changqing just took a deep breath, then knelt down on his knees and said, "Niangniang, the minister has something to ask for......

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him, "Master, you get up and speak." ”

Jiao Changqing did not comply, but pushed her hand away, and said with burning eyes: "Niangniang, the minister is powerless to cure his father's illness." Now, the minister can only give it a go and use the next strategy to save his father's life. ”

Meng Xilan's eyebrows twisted slightly: "Master, as long as it is something that this palace can do, you just have to speak." ”

Jiao Changqing looked at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes and said, "Please give the minister a few death row prisoners...... Let the ministers use their hearts to heal their fathers' diseases! ”

What the? Death row?

Meng Xilan was shocked when she heard this, and said incomprehensibly: "Master, this palace can't understand what you said. ”

Jiao Changqing's scarlet eyes revealed bursts of cold light and said, "Niangniang, Weichen has no other way." Therefore, Weichen made up his mind to change his heart for his father! ”

Although this is only a mysterious technique that exists in ancient medical books, it is not all absurd. In Jiao Changqing's eyes, this is his only chance.
