Xu died once, but in Meng Xilan's eyes, people's hearts changed, and they always had a terrible and ruthless face.

"Chen'er......" Meng Xilan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid of you." ”

She rolled over slightly, looked into his eyes, and said, "I remember the first time I saw you." It was so cold, you were so thinly dressed, they kept bullying you, but there was only resistance and anger in your eyes. It's strange that I just looked at you and remembered you so deeply in my head. ”

The winter of that year was the beginning of her rebirth. On the first day she entered the palace, she met a stubborn and miserable Zhou Youchen, a person who seemed to have fallen into the abyss and never saw the light of day, a person who was almost exactly the same as her.

Zhou Youchen had never heard her talk about that day, his gaze was firmly locked on her face, and his dark brown eyes flickered slightly. "That's right, I met you when I was most embarrassed."

From the moment he met her, his doom seemed to begin to end slowly, replaced by a beginning he had never expected, the beginning of revenge, the beginning of the seizure...... The beginning of everything new......

Meng Xilan met his slight gaze and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

She reached out and gently stroked his thick eyebrows, sighed slightly and said, "It's been seven years, we've known each other for seven years." Chen'er ......"

He liked to hear her call his name softly, gently and kindly, as if he had suddenly returned to the time before, when she first called him "Chen'er".

Meng Xilan gently stroked his eyebrows, her fingertips gently brushing his cheeks.

Zhou Youchen's dark brown eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyebrows, grabbed the hand she was about to leave, and pressed his palm against his cheek.

"There will be many more seven years, seven years...... Seventeen years...... Or even seventy years. You want to accompany me for the rest of your life, you promised. ”

Meng Xilan hid a smile in her eyes and nodded lightly.

While speaking, Zhu Lu came in with a bowl of thick black decoction and said softly: "Niangniang, the medicine is ready." ”

Meng Xilan turned over and sat up, looked at the decoction on the table, and sighed softly.

Zhou Youchen also frowned when he smelled the smell: "What is this?" ”

Meng Xilan walked to the table, picked up the spoon and said, "This is my tonic." ”

Zhou Youchen sat on the edge of the bed, his face full of disgust: "This medicine smells too bad." ”

Zhu Lu deliberately interjected when she heard this: "Long live Lord, my mother drinks such a bitter medicine, but it's all for you." ”

As soon as her words fell, Meng Xilan glared at her, "Talkative." ”

Zhulu lowered her head, turned around and retreated.

Zhou Youchen didn't know why, so he just came to the table and watched Meng Xilan scoop the decoction with a spoon, waiting for it to cool down slowly.

"What the hell is this?"

Meng Xilan deliberately didn't answer, but said, "Doesn't the emperor still have to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to approve the folds?" It's not too early, so let's go early. After drinking this bowl of medicine, I will rest. ”

He would occasionally come to talk to her, but she never stayed with him for the night.

As long as she didn't cross that line, she was still willing to be as close to him as she had been before.

Zhou Youchen was prepared, he got up to leave, and only kissed her lightly on the forehead when he left.

After a while, Gao Fuli personally sent a plate of candied fruit, saying that it was rewarded by the long live lord and relieved the bitterness of the mother.

Meng Xilan drank a whole bowl of bitter decoction, and her mouth was feeling uncomfortable.

She took a candied fruit in her mouth, and the sweetness in her mouth melted, so that the bitterness of Fang Cai disappeared in an instant.

……

Six and thirty-six long candles were lit together, illuminating the whole hall.

Zhou Youchen put down the tea bowl and was about to look at the excerpts, but he heard a report from the eunuch outside: "Concubine Wen has arrived." ”

What is she doing at this hour?

Zhou Youchen's eyebrows frowned, Gao Fuli knew his thoughts, and waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to reply.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Rong'er had already taken the first step, walked in boldly, and said with a smile on her face: "The concubine came uninvited, and I hope that the lord will forgive her sins!" ”

"I'm very busy, Concubine Wen should come back tomorrow."

Zhou Youchen only glanced at her, then picked up the brush stained with cinnabar and prepared to review the folds.

Zhang Rong'er deliberately pouted, and said coquettishly: "The concubine has just come, and the emperor is going to take the concubine away......" She said as she walked to his side, who knows, Gao Fuli raised the dust in his hand and blocked her: "Niangniang, long live the lord is approving the fold." ”

Zhang Rong'er raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and her face was still smiling: "Father-in-law Gao, the palace is here to serve the emperor's criticism, so the father-in-law can also go down and be idle secretly." After saying that, a fine light flashed in her eyes, with a little power.

Gao Fuli was originally an interesting person, but at this time, he deliberately stood still, glanced at her, and then looked at Zhou Youchen.

He was waiting for the emperor's will, not listening to her dispatch.

Sure enough, Zhou Youchen coldly threw down a sentence: "I don't need you to serve, Xiaolizi is better than you." ”

Gao Fuli looked at Zhang Rong'er and pursed the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and was about to reach out to let her leave. Who knows, Zhang Rong'er deliberately squeezed past him, went to Zhou Youchen's side, stood and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say when she comes over today, you can't help but listen!" ”

She sent someone out to inquire and found out that Zhou Youchen went to Cining Palace as soon as he got out of the court, and even used dinner there.

Zhou Youchen saw her messing around like this, and said with a displeased expression: "What are you messing around?" ”

Zhang Rong'er was drunk by him like this, and deliberately pretended to be frightened.

"Your Majesty, why are you so fierce to your concubines."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she soon burst into tears.

Gao Fuli squinted at her, and couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart.

Zhou Youchen was so upset by her that he only put down the brush, and said in a still strong tone: "If you don't leave, I will send someone to send you back to the palace." ”

Zhang Rong'er sniffed with teary eyes, but she was still stubborn, not only did she not leave, she deliberately leaned into Zhou Youchen's ear and whispered a word.

Gao Fuli was a bit of a distraction, and he didn't know what she said. However, when Zhou Youchen heard that, his expression changed slightly, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he changed his mind and said, "Xiao Lizi, let others go down first." ”

Gao Fuli was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand and motioned for the little eunuchs to withdraw and wait.

"Hooray, what about the minions?"

Gao Fuli wanted to know what Zhang Rong'er was doing, so he wanted to stay and listen.

Zhou Youchen nodded slightly at him, signaling that he could stay.

Zhang Rong'er saw that everyone had gone down, so she said with tears in her eyes: "The emperor is willing to listen to the concubine now." ”

Zhou Youchen said with a calm face: "As long as it is about Concubine Lan, I naturally want to listen." ”

When Gao Fuli heard this, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

How could this Zhang Ronger talk about her mother?

"The concubine heard in the past two days that the concubine has been taking the decoction on time. The concubine was very worried about the safety of the concubine, and thought that the concubine was sick, but the concubine didn't want to go over recklessly and disturb the mother's rest. Therefore, the concubine personally went to the Tai Hospital to ask, only to find out that the mother's food today is all tonics, and they are all tonics to replenish qi and blood. When the concubine heard this, she didn't care about it, but later she overheard the palace maid breaking her mouth and saying a few gossips without a beginning or an end, which made the concubine's heart worry. ”

She deliberately laid a long stalk, Zhou Youchen could naturally hear it, he nodded and waited for her to continue.

"Those gossip is too ugly...... However, the concubine still had to tell the emperor to know. That's ...... The concubine's health is not good, and she has lost both qi and blood, not because of any illness, but because she has had a child before......"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Youchen was so shocked that he slapped the table and stood up, and his eyebrows twisted up like a knife: "Hun said!" Which minion made this rumor? ”

Gao Welfare was also anxious when he heard it. Who is so bold as to dare to spread such rumors about the master? Isn't it tired and crooked?

Zhang Rong'er looked at Zhou Youchen's instantly angry face, and secretly clenched her palms.

"The concubines just heard the rumors of the palace maids, and they don't know where this source came from?"

"Damn! What a damn one! Zhou Youchen couldn't help but curse in a low voice, he frowned, slapped the table and said: "Gao Fu, immediately investigate this matter for me thoroughly, I will divide the bastard slave who spread rumors, five horses!" ”

Gao Fuli was in a trance for a moment, and then nodded in response.

"Minion, let's do it!"

Zhang Rong'er saw Gao Fuli hurriedly retreating, only to feel that the matter was really big.

But in that case, let's make a big fuss.

"Please calm the emperor's anger. The concubine couldn't believe it was all true at first. However, the concubine pondered it carefully, only to feel that the whole rumor may not be all false! The concubine Niangniang left the palace to practice, for three years, who she had seen in Fahua Temple and what she had done, can you know the emperor? ”

Zhou Youchen was already extremely angry in his heart, and his dark brown eyes were full of violence. But when he heard her words, he suddenly noticed something, his eyes became deeper, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Zhang Rong'er lowered her head and curtsied back: "The emperor is angry, and the concubines are dedicated to the emperor's sake, so they ......."

Soon, Zhou Youchen gradually dissipated the anger in his heart, and the whole person became calm.

He sat down slowly, and after taking a long breath, he picked up his pen and said, "It's not early, you can go back." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Rong'er looked surprised, looked up in confusion and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhou Youchen raised his head and smiled viciously at her: "If you dare to say one more nonsense, I will definitely make you regret it." ”

The tricks of the women in this palace, he thought that he was no longer surprised, but unexpectedly, once Meng Xilan was involved, he would still not be able to control his emotions.

This is just a small trick used to sow discord, and it is insignificant at all.

This kind of rumor, even if it spreads for another hundred years, he will not believe it. Because in this world, there is no one who knows Meng Xilan better than him.
