Chapter 364: Avoiding Sight
Jiao Changqing did not hesitate to risk his life, but also let Zhou Youchen understand the stakes.
Meng Xilan can give birth to immortality, it is already blessed by God, luck is such a thing, come as you say, leave as you say, no one will have good luck for a lifetime.
Zhou Youchen's face was gloomy, and a sentence came out between his teeth: "I want Lan'er to live, live peacefully." ”
When Jiao Changqing heard this, he immediately knew in his heart: "The ministers will do their best to protect the safety of the mother." However, the minister needs the emperor's help! ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhou Youchen swept the folds on the bookcase to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"What do you want me to do? One is my wife, and the other is my child......"
Zhou Youchen was so angry that his whole body tensed, and the anger and sadness in his heart had nowhere to be resolved, and he couldn't smash the delicacy of this full hall.
Jiao Changqing was still standing there and said quietly: "Please think twice." ”
This choice can only be made by him.
……
At this time, Cining Palace was silent, even quietly and somewhat depressing.
Meng Xilan sat there, always maintaining a posture.
A weak posture. Her back was slightly bowed, her hands were on her lower abdomen, her head was lowered, and she didn't say a word.
Neither the jade nor the orb knew what to do.
Seeing that it was about to get dark outside, Jade cautiously stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, the hour is not early, the slave maid will light the lamp for you." ”
She took out the fire fold and lit the candle.
The candlelight was shining, slightly illuminating Meng Xilan's face.
Jade looked back at her and couldn't help but exclaim: "Niangniang......"
Meng Xilan's face was covered with tears, it turned out that she had been crying silently.
Jade was completely panicked, thinking about it, thinking that she still had to find the emperor.
Who knows, she went all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but was blocked by the small path.
"The emperor is worried at this time, and no one can go in."
Jade panted and said to Xiao Luzi: "The queen mother is very sad now, she needs the emperor's comfort." ”
Xiao Luzi knew what had just happened, and hurriedly pulled Jade to him: "Girl, listen to the advice of the miscellaneous family, now is really not the time for you to go in, the emperor just almost cut off Lord Jiao's head...... It's all a mess inside, so you'd better go back and take care of your mother first. ”
He has been serving the emperor with his master for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen the emperor so angry.
Jade said with red eyes: "Xiao Luzi, wait for the emperor to send you in to serve in a while, you must tell the emperor that Niangniang is very sad now, and she is washing her face with tears in Cining Palace." ”
Xiao Luzi nodded heavily: "Don't worry, girl, the miscellaneous family remembers." ”
Jade went back worriedly, seeing that Niangniang was still so sad, she was so anxious.
Zhulu rushed over, and when she saw her uneasy expression, she frowned and scolded, "What are you panicking about?" This frizzy appearance makes the mother even more upset? ”
Jade lowered her head with red eyes: "The slave knows her mistake...... Sister Zhulu, my mother is crying so sadly, what should we do? ”
She felt uneasy from the bottom of her heart. Niangniang usually kills and decides, and no one before or after has never been half weak.
Zhulu frowned and said: "Niangniang has Niangniang's heart, since we can't share the worries of the master, then don't make trouble for the master!" You're all waiting quietly outside...... I'll go check it out first. ”
After Zhu Lu finished speaking, he gave Zhu Lu a look and walked in with her.
The light in the dormitory was dim, and the two of them didn't dare to go far for a while, but just stood quietly aside, not disturbing the purity of their master.
Tears are like beads with broken threads, and you can't stop trying to.
Meng Xilan suddenly realized that she hadn't cried like this for a long time.
She slowly raised her head and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"Zhulu......" she called softly.
"Yes. The slave is here. Zhulu stepped forward and looked up at her.
"From now on, no one will be seen in this palace. You go and explain to the guards and eunuchs outside, no matter who comes, the palace will not be seen......"
Zhulu opened her mouth in surprise: "Niangniang, what do you mean ......?"
"The meaning of this palace is that even if the emperor comes, this palace will not be seen."
If he comes, what he wants to say must be the same as Jiao Changqing.
They would all ask him to take away the child, her child.
Zhu Lu reacted slightly, and then said, "Niangniang, how can the minions outside have the ability to stop the emperor?" If the emperor comes, no one can stop him! ”
Meng Xilan got up slowly, went to the cabinet and took out a pair of scissors for female red, gently slammed them on the table and said, "If the emperor breaks in, you tell him that the palace will use this scissors to hurt yourself." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Lu's eyes widened when she heard this, and she only said, "Niangniang, this is absolutely unacceptable." ”
As she spoke, she hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to take the scissors from the table.
Meng Xilan saw it in her eyes, and only took the scissors one step ahead and held them in her hand.
"What, Zhulu? Are you going to persecute Hongu? ”
Zhulu hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't dare." Niangniang, please don't do this, what if you hurt the phoenix body. ”
Meng Xilan's eyes dimmed, she looked down at the scissors in her hand, her fingers gently rubbed the tip of the knife, and said in a deep voice: "If this palace doesn't hurt itself, this palace just wants to keep this child." ”
"!" Zhulu begged with tears: "Niangniang, you already have His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you have to risk yourself for this child...... In case, you have three long and two short, what should the emperor do? What should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do? ”
After hearing this, Meng Xilan's eyebrows frowned: "Don't force me, I just want to be clean and clean." ”
Now she has a very complicated mood. She doesn't need others to tell her a lot of big truths, saying that everything is only for her good, everything is for her good.
Zhulu knew the temper of the master, nodded and responded: "Yes, the slave will go out and make arrangements." ”
Meng Xilan still held the scissors in her hand, and although there was obviously no one here, she still held on tightly.
Zhulu explained the matter outside, and saw someone coming from the door from a distance, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Zhou Youchen didn't order anyone to report, and came quietly.
"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor." Zhulu deliberately knelt in front of him, blocking his way.
Zhou Youchen's face was very ugly, and he looked at her with his eyebrows: "Lan'er, how is she?" ”
Zhulu raised her head, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has something important to say to you." ”
Zhou Youchen's face sank: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhulu said cautiously: "Niangniang instructed the slave maid to be quiet and quiet. Niangniang said that she is not seen by anyone now, including the emperor......"
Zhou Youchen didn't wait to finish listening, then bypassed her and continued to walk forward.
"Your Majesty." Zhulu caught up with him, but still stopped him and said, "Niangniang's mood is a little excited, she really doesn't want to see anyone." Moreover, Niangniang is holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and the slave doesn't know what Niangniang wants to do, she is likely to hurt herself, so the slave begged the emperor not to go in for the time being! ”
Zhou Youchen clenched his fists after hearing this, and his first reaction was naturally to speed up his pace, but Zhulu still insisted: "Your Majesty, you know Niangniang's character very well, she will really do what she says." ”
"Niangniang said that as long as the emperor walks in, she will hurt herself!"
Zhou Youchen stood in place, his back stiff. He glanced up at the sky and sighed helplessly.
He didn't say a word, but stood quietly in the courtyard.
It was the middle of winter at this time, and after standing for a long time, those palace people couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Majesty ......" Xiao Luzi stepped forward boldly: "The queen mother may be asleep, why don't you go back first." ”
Zhou Youchen pondered for a moment before he said: "Zhulu, if you send a message to Lan'er for me, just say that I will rely on her for everything, and I will not force her." ”
Zhulu nodded seriously: "Yes, please go back to the palace to rest first, and the slave maid will persuade the mother well." ”
Zhou Youchen's feet hesitated slightly, and he felt that his feet weighed a thousand pounds with every step.
Zhulu sent the emperor away and returned to the dormitory.
was about to speak, but he heard the mother command: "This palace is hungry." ”
At this time, Meng Xilan was already neatly groomed, and her expression was not as languishing as Fang Cai.
Zhulu hurriedly said: "Niangniang, what do you want to eat, the slave will go and prepare." ”
Meng Xilan thought for a moment before saying, "This palace wants to eat noodles." ”
"Okay, the slave will go and prepare it for the mother."
A bowl of chicken and chive noodles seems simple, but it takes a lot of thought.
Zhulu brought the noodles over, and Meng Xilan ate them seriously.
Usually she doesn't eat much, but now she eats all the noodles, and only a shallow layer of soup remains.
Zhulu was slightly surprised, she didn't expect her master to have such a good appetite.
Meng Xilan held the stove in her hand, leaned on the soft couch, and said quietly: "Before you are happy, this palace needs to eat more." ”
Zhu Lu's heart tightened when she heard this. It seems that the mother has made up her mind to keep this child.
Early the next morning, Jiao Changqing came over on time to ask for Meng Xilan's pulse.
Who knows, he was blocked from the door. "The queen has a life, and no one will see her."
Jiao Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and then sank his face: "I'm here to ask for peace for my mother." ”
"Master Jiao, Niangniang said, even if it's you, it's the same." The guards pushed him out of the palace gate and said unceremoniously.
Jiao Changqing almost fell, but fortunately, Zhulu behind him helped him in time and said, "My lord, are you okay?" ”
Jiao Changqing stood firm, looked back at Zhu Lu, and asked with concern, "What does Niangniang mean by this?" Why doesn't she see me? ”
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Zhulu only said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it's not that you don't see adults, Niangniang wants to be clean and clean alone." Last night, the emperor came, and the mother didn't see it either. ”
Jiao Changqing was so anxious that he almost blurted out: "The emperor is the emperor, I am me...... If you don't see me, Niangniang's phoenix body, what if there is a mistake? ”
Zhu Lu's eyebrows moved slightly when she heard this, and she only pulled him aside: "My lord, this matter is not in a hurry, you should go back first today." Niangniang's situation, you know it in your heart, it's only three or five days, and it's okay. ”
It is not advisable for him to stay here for a long time and say something that should not be said.
Jiao Changqing shook his head and said, "No, before I see my mother again, I will never leave!" ”
Zhulu looked at him with frowns: "My lord, why are you suffering?" Niangniang is hard-hearted, she even turned away the emperor, how can she meet you? ”
It was so cold outside, and she was even more worried that he would accidentally catch the wind chill and freeze sick.
Zhu Lu took the initiative to hold Jiao Changqing's arm and begged in a low voice: "It's useless for adults to insist like this." Niangniang needs time, please go back. ”
Jiao Changqing opened his mouth slightly, as if he still had something to say, and Zhu Lu hurriedly covered his mouth again: "My lord, this is not a place to talk and quarrel. Please be careful......"
The guards were just a few paces away, and they could hear everything they were saying.
Zhulu didn't want him to act impulsively, say something that shouldn't be said, fall into his mouth, and cause trouble!
