Meng Xilan had mixed feelings in her heart for a while when she heard this, her eyes slowly closed, and tears fell on the back of her hand one by one, cool and heavy, which made her feel distressed.

She waited for him for so many days, and finally waited for Changsheng's support.

No matter what struggles and uneasiness he went through, he finally came. Came to her and said what he had just said.

Meng Xilan wanted to laugh a little, slightly tugging the corners of her lips, but in the end she still cried.

Changsheng panicked, hurriedly stepped forward, held the queen mother's hand tightly, and looked up at her: "The queen mother, it's all the sons who are not good, and they make you sad." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head with tears: "You didn't do anything wrong, I was the one who was wrong." ”

"The queen mother just can't bear to kill the child in her womb, what's wrong with that? It's not wrong, it's providential......" Changsheng clenched his mother's hand and shook his head again and again, this is not to blame her, how can this be blamed on her. Changsheng pressed his cheek to her palm: "Erchen is also the child of the queen mother, and the queen mother has never given up on son." ”

He was not completely unaware of the affairs of the queen mother and Chu Jingchuan. He knows it, and speaking of which, it can really be regarded as a bad relationship between them!

This is hidden in the heart of the queen mother for more than 20 years, how can he be indifferent, he can no longer tear open the scar in the queen mother's heart with his own hands. Now is not the time to distinguish between right and wrong, but the time for mother and son to work together to get through this together.

"Queen Mother, the son-in-law is about to get married, and the son-in-law will not live up to your expectations."

Changsheng had made up his mind, and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, sorting out his thoughts clearly.

Baozhu and Chu Ansheng, who originally had a heart hanging on them, were relieved when they heard this.

Chu Ansheng pursed his lips and retreated silently. In this way, the child in the mother's womb will definitely be saved.

Chu Ansheng came to the outside of the hall, looked up at the starry sky, and said secretly in his heart: "Father, is this the reason why you are so desperate for the queen?" Just because she has you in her heart......"

The affection of the wrong payment, the hatred that was all over the house, and finally only got a child...... Father is so stupid!

The cold night of early spring was cold and deserted. But Meng Xilan's heart was warm.

Changsheng was like when he was a child, leaning sideways on her lap, closing his eyes and resting.

His cheek pressed against the mother's bulging belly, and he was so close to the child that he seemed to faintly hear the sound of the child's blood flowing and heartbeat.

Baozhu silently stepped forward and sprinkled a handful of milky spices into the incense burner. It is a soothing incense, a good thing that can calm the mind and calm the mind.

Meng Xilan groaned slightly: "It's not early, my son, you go back and rest early." If you don't sleep well, it will delay tomorrow's morning. ”

Changsheng closed his eyes and said, "Let Erchen stay a little longer." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this, looked at him with gentle eyebrows, raised her hand and gently patted his back, like when he was a child, coaxing him to fall asleep slowly.

Baozhu watched from the sidelines, his eyes reddened slightly, and then retreated.

Two days later, the palace began to release news one after another. The queen mother was worried about the emperor's body, and she suffered from heart disease, and her body was not good, and she was very weak.

This is the news that Changsheng deliberately ordered people to release it. In this way, Meng Xilan can avoid people's eyes and recuperate in Cining Palace with peace of mind.

However, at this time, there was still an "outsider" in Cining Palace.

Aina, who was secretly sad and entangled for Changsheng, had to be sent back to Yongzhou by Changsheng.

Ayina naturally refused, but Changsheng's serious attitude shocked her.

"Ayina, if you are willing to be my side concubine, you are willing to stay by my side. Then go home well, and I will send someone to propose marriage to your father, and then marry you back to the palace as a concubine. ”

The queen mother was pregnant, and she continued to stay in Cining Palace, which was really inconvenient.

Ayina's face changed slightly when she heard this, then she lowered her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My father will not marry me to you as a side concubine." ”

Changsheng said in a deep voice: "It's man-made, I'll arrange it." ”

He only gave her these eight words, and he wanted to make her feel at ease, which was really stingy.

The news that Ayina had left the palace and left the capital soon reached the ears of the Xie family.

Xie Kaiyu has always been more worried than happy about his daughter's election as the crown princess.

The crown prince is young and vigorous, although he is diligent and intelligent, he cannot escape the control of the queen. Now, the emperor is critically ill, and the crown prince has become the real master of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and his concubine can become the best candidate for the crown princess, which is equivalent to getting an edict now. It's a mixed blessing for such a heavy grace to fall down.

Knowing a daughter is better than a father. Xie Kaiyu still knows his daughter's temperament very well. She seems to be strong in everything, but in fact, she is very timid, once she enters the palace, she will become the target of everyone, how should she face those tigers and wolves? Although her daughter is very smart, how can she fight those scheming women?

This is his concern as a father and as a courtier.

So much has happened in the past year. What the emperor did has chilled the hearts of many people. What Xie Kaiyu wants is that he should hold the military power as soon as possible and make contributions to the court as soon as possible, so as to consolidate the position of the Xie family.

Just when the Xie family was happy and worried about the crown princess, there was movement in the palace again, the candidate for the crown princess had just been decided, and the candidates for the three side concubines had also been decided. The daughter of the king of Beijun, the daughter of Jing Zhaoyin, and the daughter of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

One concubine, three side concubines, this is something that has never happened before.

In the impression of the ministers, the prince has never been a person who likes women. But this time, his choice of concubine shocked everyone.

However, from the prince's marriage, everyone also understands in their hearts. The crown prince's ambition is not small, and he wants to cultivate his own cronies before he officially ascends the throne.

The emperor's illness has been kept secret from the outside world by the imperial court, and it is vague and unclear. It seems that there is more luck and less luck. However, if you want to say that the person in this palace knows the emperor's situation best, it must be Gao Welfare. He was by the emperor's side almost twelve hours a day, never leaving an inch.

The emperor woke up occasionally, his eyes were empty, his expression was in a trance, and he couldn't say a word with his mouth open, which was very terrifying.

Several times, Gao Fuli stood by the bed, looked at him with lowered eyes, and asked in a low tone: "Your Majesty, do you still recognize the slave?" ”

Zhou Youchen was always glazed and silent.

Gao Fuli straightened his back and sighed slowly: "Your Majesty, you can rest well." Sometimes it's good to be a wreck. The emperor is reckless in everything,"

Imperial Doctor Jiao's medicine is really powerful.

Gao Fuli only now understands that the most terrifying person in this palace is Jiao Changqing. Just a few pairs of decoctions can make a good person sick to this point. is this kind of terrible person, but he is loyal to his mother. It's a magical and terrifying thing.

With such thoughts, every time he sees Jiao Changqing, Gao Fuli will always be secretly vigilant, paying attention to everything he says and does.

"Master Jiao, the emperor woke up once yesterday, and the miscellaneous family said a few words to him, but he didn't react at all."

Jiao Changqing was silent, and after diagnosing the pulse, he gave the emperor a few more injections before he spoke: "After using the medicine for another month, the emperor will not know anyone." ”

Gao Fuli was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "What about Niangniang?" Will the emperor still remember Niangniang? ”

Jiao Changqing glanced at him faintly: "No, he can't remember anything." ”

This understatement made Gao Welfare shudder.

I don't remember anything...... This is even more uncomfortable than death for the emperor.

Subsequently, Gao Fuli followed Jiao Changqing to Cining Palace.

He watched Jiao Changqing speak softly to Niangniang, not at all like Fang Cai's cold appearance.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Niangniang, Jiao Changqing's cold-blooded side disappeared completely.

Because of the support of the crown prince, Meng Xilan is now at ease to rest in her pregnancy. However, Changsheng was still at ease with her body.

Before Jiao Changqing left, Changsheng came.

Meng Xilan persuaded him not to be so diligent, but Changsheng shook his head.

He deliberately chose this time to come here today. Because he wanted to come to see Jiao Changqing. Now, the two people he cares about the most, their safety and death are all in his hands.

Jiao Changqing is also very good at looking at the eyes, and when the prince got up to leave, he also followed.

Meng Xilan saw it in her eyes, but she didn't speak.

Changsheng only asked Jiao Changqing two things: When will his father wake up? Can the queen mother's body give birth to this child smoothly?

Jiao Changqing replied lightly: "The emperor's illness is serious, and Weichen can only do his best." As for Niangniang, Niangniang's qi and blood are well regulated, as long as you are cautious, it is not a big deal. ”

When Changsheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, only to feel that this was a perfunctory remark.

It seems that everything is said, but in fact nothing is said.

After Jiao Changqing respectfully sent the prince away, he turned back to Cining Palace, and saw that Niangniang had already prepared tea and was waiting for him.

"Sit down." She spoke lightly, smiling.

Jiao Changqing sat down opposite her, without the restraint of being a courtier. He didn't wait for her to ask, so he took the initiative to reply: "Your Highness just asked Weichen a few words, all about Niangniang and the emperor. ”

Meng Xilan took a sip of tea and shook her head: "You don't have to explain to the palace, when did the palace suspect you?" ”

"Niangniang, the emperor's medicine is almost exhausted."

Speaking of Zhou Youchen, Meng Xilan's face changed slightly, and she couldn't say whether she was melancholy or worried. Now, she can't take half a step out of this Cining Palace, so naturally she can't see him.

"When the emperor wakes up, he will lose all his memories and be stupefied, like a child."

Hearing this, Meng Xilan gently knocked the tea bowl in her hand, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Niangniang, maybe the emperor doesn't remember anything, but it's better." Jiao Changqing said meaningfully.

"The emperor is delirious and it is difficult to shoulder the responsibilities of the country, so the edict in Niangniang's hand can come in handy."

Before Zhou Youchen left Beijing, he left her an edict in case of emergency. Before, when Chu Jingchuan usurped power and rebelled, Meng Xilan sent the edict to the Meng family, thinking that if something happened to him, there would be someone who could stand up for the prince.

That edict, Meng Xilan has always kept. After Zhou Youchen returned to Beijing, he asked her where the edict was, and Meng Xilan lied to him, saying that Chu Jingchuan burned the edict.

Zhou Youchen didn't think much about it at the time, but after that, he may have some doubts......

Jiao Changqing looked at Meng Xilan, who was silent with low eyebrows, took a deep breath and said, "Niangniang, now that it's over, you can't be soft-hearted!" ”

Having come this far, it is too late to regret it.

Meng Xilan stared for a moment before nodding: "This palace knows that there is no way out!" It's just that the crown prince can't ascend the throne until the child in the womb is born! The current appearance of this palace is that he can't run for him and contact the ministers. What this palace can do for him now is to keep a low profile as much as possible and give birth to this child unknowingly......"

Jiao Changqing raised his eyes to look at her: "That lady has ever thought about where you want to send the child after he is born?" ”

This secret must not be known by outsiders, and the child must not remain in the palace.

Meng Xilan gently spit out two words: "Meng family." ”

The safest place in the world for her is also her home.
