When Xiao Yuanzi heard this, the whole person trembled, and hurriedly subconsciously covered his body, and then felt that his actions were a little stupid, so he hurriedly put his hand down again. "The master is so impulsive, if you go back and let Her Royal Highness the princess know, you will definitely be angry with you."

These days, it is all thanks to Princess Wenning teaching the master to learn the rules hand-in-hand, and he finally has some achievements, sitting and standing, between words and deeds, it seems that he finally has a bit of the bearing that a prince should have, and even the emperor has to praise a few words when he sees it.

Originally, it was all good, but who knows, this Princess Wenning has just left with her front foot, and her master has made a mistake with her back foot, isn't this a failure?

Zhou Youchen stroked his sleeves carelessly, raised his legs, and made a motion to kick him, but in the end it was just for show. "I'm not afraid of anything that doesn't have guts, what are you afraid of!"

He doesn't care if his father will be angry? He has ignored him for more than ten years, and even if he is bad in the future, how bad can he be? What's more, he didn't dare to do anything to himself easily...... Because he was afraid, he was afraid that the unjust ghost of his mother would appear again, disturbing him unpeacefully.

After a while, the news that Zhou Youwen was injured by Zhou Youchen reached Zhou Shixian's ears. He was slightly surprised, but he didn't intend to take it seriously. Moreover, the imperial doctors all said that the injuries on the body of the Sixth Highness were not serious, but it was difficult to explain in detail how they were not serious. The place where he was injured was unusual, so at least for a month or two, Zhou Youwen couldn't get close to his girlfriend anymore.

Zhou Youwen, who was taught by Zhou Youchen, was ashamed in his heart, and he hated to cut Zhou Youchen with a thousand knives.

Seeing that his father had no intention of pursuing it for a long time, Zhou Youwen was very unconvinced, and he had to drag his body to his father to complain about his grievances.

The minions around him persuaded him one after another, saying that his body was important, and he was not in a hurry, but he felt ashamed of him in his heart...... The person who usually shows off his might, but let a little child clean it up, and moreover, he was injured there...... It's really nice to say.

After this incident, Zhou Youwen and Zhou Youchen have formed a bond in his heart, and he is still a big beam.

Meng Xilan, who rushed back to the palace wholeheartedly, naturally didn't know that Zhou Youchen behind him had caused him a big trouble again. However, even if she knew, she wouldn't have the strength to help him for the time being, after all, at this moment, she herself was in a relatively troublesome situation.

Since leaving the paddock, Zhou Youlin has been with a cold face, sullen, and almost never said anything to anyone except for giving orders.

Meng Xiran adhered to her principles, staying by her sister's side every step of the way, and would never leave her more than a foot away.

Meng Xilan felt that his defensive mentality was a little too obvious, but she thought about it carefully, it might be better this way, and anyone could see it at a glance.

When passing through the post station, it was still early, but thinking that Meng Xilan was a daughter and it was not appropriate to rush overnight, Zhou Youlin still felt that he would stop for the time being and rest for one night.

This post station is a necessary place to go to the paddock, so the inside is very spacious and gorgeous, with a little bit of palace temperament.

Meng Xilan was still uneasy in her heart, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply sat up and pushed the window to admire the moon.

Faintly, she could see the roaring fire in the courtyard of the inn, illuminating a small world.

The coolness of the spring night made the impulse in Zhou Youlin's heart fade more and more, he looked up at the night sky, the sky was deep and vast, and there was a little bit of starlight, which could be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

Zhou Youlin was in a trance, and soft footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. turned around and saw that it was Meng Xiran.

He saluted respectfully, "Greetings to the prince." ”

Zhou Youlin looked at him and didn't answer. After a while, Fang Cai said lightly: "You have been guarding against me all day today." ”

His behavior is so obvious that it is difficult not to think about it.

Meng Xiran groaned, walked to the bonfire, stretched out his hands to bake the fire: "Lord, although the princess is a princess, she is also the sister of her subordinates, and her subordinates must protect her." ”

Zhou Youlin's brows were slightly locked, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in his heart: "What? Do you think this king will hurt her? "He followed him for three years, and he shouldn't be suspicious.

Meng Xiran paused, fixed his gaze on a certain point on the ground, and said: "Subordinates should not be suspicious of the prince, in fact, what the subordinates are really worried about are those people with bad intentions around the prince." After all, gentlemen are easy to deal with, but villains are difficult to guard. ”

"Who's the villain?" Zhou Youlin was a little sensitive to his words.

Meng Xiran didn't answer him directly, but said: "Those who have bad intentions are villains. ”

"Xiran, I still like to hear you say directly, you don't have to go around the bend with this king, this king doesn't have this interest now......"

At this moment, his attitude of speaking is really like Meng Xilan.

"Okay, that subordinate will be too talkative today. The matter between the prince and the princess is already known to all the subordinates. The subordinates were ashamed, they were ministers, and they were brothers, but they didn't notice it earlier. Meng Xiran spoke very slowly, carefully considering every word he wanted to say.

Zhou Youlin's eyebrows were still locked, "Who told you that?" He asked knowingly, always a little uncertain in his heart.

"It's not the princess who said it, according to her character, she won't say it." Meng Xiran avoided the important and did not want to reveal too many details.

Zhou Youlin's eyebrows eased slightly when he heard this: "Indeed, she also has times when she is stubborn. So...... You don't believe in this king, do you? ”

"No, the subordinates don't dare. The subordinates only hope that the prince can be more cautious and not act impulsively. ”

To be honest, in Meng Xiran's eyes, Zhou Youlin has always been a righteous gentleman.

"Be cautious ......" Zhou Youlin carefully played with these two words, and shook his head with a smile: "No, this king was too cautious before, so it will make your sister think that this king is a fool who can be easily perfunctory." ”

Meng Xiran was slightly stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Why did the prince say this?" The princess has always been ...... to the prince"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Youlin raising his hand, "You must not say the word "loyalty", it is too ridiculous. Your sister has no heart for this king at all. ”

"Lord Wang! The prince's words have greatly wronged Her Royal Highness the Princess! Meng Xiran's tone was also a little excited.

Zhou Youlin was calm, "This is not an injustice, but the truth." Meng Xiran, you have been with this king for so long, what true loyalty should you know? Loyalty is the obedience to the master, no matter what, at any time, under any circumstances, as long as the master gives an order, he will obediently obey the order, do not refuse or complain. ”

"The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, not a slave by the prince's side, the prince should not be so harsh on her, but should respect her." Meng Xiran clenched his fists and tried his best to endure the anger in his heart.

Zhou Youlin looked at him, his expression was still deliberately indifferent, "Of course she is not a slave by the king's side, but don't forget, your Meng family is going to support this king to win the throne, once this king sits on the throne in the future, then all the people in the world will be the slaves of this king, do you think your sister can escape?" ”

His words were somewhat ruthless, ruthless to the extreme.

Meng Xiran's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief. "Lord Wang, have you forgotten your original intention of competing for the throne? You have to be a virtuous gentleman, and you will benefit the people of the world in the future! ”

"This king has not forgotten, but this king does not like to be fooled either." Zhou Youlin thought about it again and again for a long time, and felt more and more that Meng Xilan had been fooling himself all along.

Behind that farther and farther attitude, there is a self-evident motive. Obviously, she provoked him first, and it was obviously her......

"If Her Royal Highness the princess fooled the prince, then why did she risk her life and venture out of the palace when the prince was critically ill to come to help the prince? Also, the prince doubts the motives of Her Royal Highness the princess, so do you also suspect your subordinates, and even everyone in the Meng family? Meng Xiran's emotions are already at a critical point of outbreak, and if he is not careful, he may erupt.

Zhou Youlin sneered: "That's right, she has indeed helped this king a lot, and this king can have today, she, your Meng family, have all contributed a lot." Therefore, this is her purpose, what she wants is the favor that this king owes her, and the favor that you owe to the Meng family. ”

To put it bluntly, she only needs her affection debt, and she doesn't care about his affection for her at all, and she ignores it again and again.

After hearing this, Meng Xiran had a faint bad premonition in his heart. The former boy has long since ceased to exist, and I don't know if it is because of the influence of power, his heart is changing little by little.

"Lord Wang, what you said really disappointed your subordinates......"

"Heh, it's really brother and sister, and even the tone of speech is exactly the same. Your sister also said this to this king, and she also said that she was disappointed. Zhou Youlin's voice was low, with an unfamiliar chill. Xiran, no matter what you think of this king, this king is the most outstanding prince among the nine brothers, and this king will definitely win in the end. And you just need to help me, and everything will be fine. As for the rest, you don't care, and you don't need to care. ”

"Subordinates can't be ignored!" The stakes are high, how can he only care about himself and not care about his sister's life.

"By you? Meng Xiran, this king simply told you the truth. This king won't let go, your sister Meng Xilan, this king is going to be decided, and this king is going to want her for the rest of her life. ”

The bonfire moves with the wind, blowing countless flying sparks.

Zhou Youlin glanced at him, his eyes were bright and dark, and his face was strong and undeniable.

Meng Xiran's figure shook slightly, and he suddenly felt that everything had returned to the original point. There was no way he could convince him, let alone force him to let go......

Meng Xilan sat alone by the window, looking at the stars in the night sky, and suddenly remembered a person, Zhou Youchen.

In such good weather, if you are in the Star Tower, the night view will definitely be more beautiful. The night sky here, looking at it, will give people a sense of tranquility, but the Star Picking Tower is different, there is a higher and farther view, as if you can see the whole world.

Meng Xilan still can't understand why she has so much courage to play with a child regardless of it?

Perhaps, because he is just a child, there are still those innocences in his body that are rarely seen in the world.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind him, Zhulu stepped forward to answer the door, and saw that the person who came was Meng Xiran, and he was stunned: "The second master is here." ”

Meng Xiran blushed with a face and hurriedly walked into her sister's room.

Meng Xilan followed the prestige, and when she saw his expression, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Xilan, you have to be careful. Lord Wang, he ......" Meng Xiran began to shake his head halfway through speaking, and suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, so he picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it.

Meng Xilan's mind sank slightly, and she only said, "Have you talked to the prince?" ”

Meng Xiran drank the tea, slowly calmed down, and said seriously: "He seems to be a different person, and, most importantly, he is actually suspicious of you?" ”

A chill ran on Meng Xilan's back: "What does he suspect about me?" ”

"Doubt your motives, doubt your purpose, and even, suspect that you are fooling him!"
