Chapter 139: Threat (1)
A ridiculous and terrible idea gushed out of Zhou Youlin's heart: What you can't get, you can't let others get, even if you destroy it with your own hands, you can't let others get it!
In the face of desire, people who adhere to principles will also have times when they slack off and give up, and no matter how kind people are, they will also have a ruthless and tough side, most of them are because they can't get it, and they can't get it when they ask for it.
"Heh......" A chuckle escaped from the corner of Zhou Youlin's mouth, which was extremely cold, causing Zhou Youwen's eyes to move slightly, and he secretly felt that this laughter was a little terrible.
He had never seen the fourth brother smile like this, looked into his eyes, and said after a while, "Fourth brother, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhou Youlin half-hung his head, hooked the corners of his lips, with sneers and ridicule on his face, he didn't say anything in the end, only waved his hand to make Zhou Youwen retreat.
As long as he is willing to make up his mind, there is no solution.
Zhou Youwen turned around and left a little unwillingly, and when he walked out of the tent, he glanced back at Zhou Youlin again, smiled disdainfully, and said in his heart: Zhou Youlin, Zhou Youlin, you usually think of yourself as a gentleman, but I didn't expect that you also have such a time when you are in a hurry...... What gentleman? What prince? It's not a big deal, Zuo is just a flute boy who hasn't opened meat!
Thinking of this, Zhou Youwen's heart seemed to be a little proud.
The third watch has passed, and the lights in Zhou Youlin's tent are still on. Xiao Dongzi came in to add lamp oil, and saw the master sitting alone with his head down, so he couldn't help but cautiously stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's late at night, you should rest early." ”
Zhou Youlin staggered to his feet when he heard this, ignored Xiao Dongzi, walked out directly, walked outside and looked up at the sky.
Xiao Dongzi was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him. He didn't know where his master was going, and when he saw that he was in a bad mood, he just followed silently behind.
Zhou Youlin slowly walked to Meng Xilan's tent, looking at the dim candlelight inside, his heart moved slightly.
Didn't she sleep either? I still fell asleep, but because I was afraid of the dark, I left a permanent lamp at the head of the bed...... Will she be afraid of the dark too? No, she's obviously not afraid of anything!
Zhou Youlin was quietly in a daze alone, Xiao Dongzi stood behind, looking at the master's back, secretly surprised in his heart.
Suddenly, the curtain suddenly moved, and a palace maid in Tsing Yi walked out with an incense burner.
Zhulu was about to come out to pour incense ashes, and suddenly saw Zhou Youlin standing outside the curtain, and couldn't help but be startled, and almost knocked off the incense burner in his hand.
"Wang ...... Lord Wang ......" Zhulu snorted lightly, I didn't expect him to appear here? At this time, it's already three watches, what is he doing here? Does he want to make a mistake again?
Zhou Youlin looked at Zhulu's frightened and frightened eyes, and said lightly: "Is your master asleep?" ”
Zhulu plucked up her courage, stepped forward, and said righteously: "Back to the prince, my master has long been rested. It's been this hour, is there anything important about the prince? If it's still okay, please come back......"
Her tone was not good, not as polite and gentle as before.
Zhou Youlin thought for a while before he said: "This king has no malicious intentions, he only apologizes to your master." ”
Zhu Lu glared at him, "The prince said this lightly, but unfortunately, my master will not accept your affection!" After speaking, he shook the incense burner in his hand, and the incense ashes flew, making Zhou Youlin all over.
Hum! deserves it, with him doing such rude things, what is the use of a "sorry"?
Xiao Dongzi saw that his master was raised to ashes, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve: "This girl is so bold, the slave is ......."
He was about to catch up with Zhu Lu, but was stopped by Zhou Youlin raising his hand, he didn't want to disturb Meng Xilan's peace.
Zhou Youlin looked at the curtain that fell quietly, and felt a burst of boredom in his heart, he and she were obviously so close, but they couldn't touch it.
Zhou Youlin stretched out his hand and patted the dust on his body, turned his head silently, and returned to his big tent.
Early the next morning, Meng Xilan woke up very early, because the sound of the rain outside was a bit noisy, and the drizzle of rain was ticking, which disturbed her a little upset.
Zhulu waited aside, silently handed over the teacup, and rinsed her mouth.
Meng Xilan sighed softly, reached out to take the teacup, and suddenly found that her eyes were a little red, and couldn't help asking, "You haven't slept all night?" ”
Zhulu nodded and bit her lower lip, as if she had something to say.
Meng Xilan understood her personality and could see her through at a glance, and asked again, "What's wrong?" ”
"Master, last night, the prince ...... He came once. Zhulu took a deep breath, feeling that she couldn't hide it from her master.
Meng Xilan frowned, took another sip of water, and said, "What is he here for?" ”
"The prince just walked around outside, and the slave and maid also accidentally bumped into it, and it was three shifts at that time...... The prince said that he wanted to say "sorry" to the master, but the slave took him away. ”
Meng Xilan gently lifted the lid of the teacup and made a crisp sound, and suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart.
What the hell should I do? in order to completely get rid of Zhou Youlin's entanglement and completely draw a line with him......
Seeing that the master frowned, Zhulu said, "Master, otherwise let's find an excuse and go back to the palace first." ”
The palace is better than the outside, and there is still the Queen Mother to rely on, and she will never let the master suffer such grievances again!
Meng Xilan thought for a moment, only to feel that there was only that. Instead of doing this, it is better to look down and not look up every day to be on guard, it is better to take one side, out of sight and out of mind.
By the afternoon, the rain outside was getting lighter and lighter, and it gradually stopped.
Meng Xilan dressed neatly and went to Zhou Shixian to say goodbye. She didn't deliberately dress up, but deliberately wore a plain face, and the clothes on her body were also plain and elegant, looking unrefreshed, as if she was really sick.
Zhou Shixian was drinking and having fun with the new beauty in his arms, but when he saw Meng Xilan walking in lightly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
She came slowly, as if she was carrying a cool breeze that was moist after the rain, blowing on her face, refreshing her heart.
Zhou Shixian stared at her and said with a smile: "I heard that you are not feeling well, but now you are better?" ”
The beauty in his arms didn't like to be disturbed by Meng Xilan like this, her eyes widened, and she glanced at Meng Xilan with displeasure, without the slightest intention of getting up and saluting.
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Thank you for your care, although my body is fine, I am always sick and can't raise my strength, so I want to tell the emperor today that I am ashamed, I don't know if I can go back to the palace first, so as not to disturb everyone's interest." ”
Zhou Shixian thought about it a little when he heard this, it stands to reason that he had no reason to object, but he was a little reluctant and unwilling to let her leave early.
As he spoke, the eunuch outside raised his voice and reported, "Prince Xian has arrived." ”
Meng Xilan's back straightened slightly, and she secretly said in her heart: Damn! I'm really afraid of what...... Why this coincidence?
Zhou Youlin seems to have come to ask for peace, but there is no doubt that his real purpose is still for Meng Xilan. He asked Xiao Dongzi to keep an eye early in the morning, and once Meng Xilan left the big tent, he asked him to come over and report it.
Zhou Shixian saw him coming, let go of the beauty in his arms, got up and said, "Lin'er, you came just in time." Early tomorrow morning, you personally take a trip to send Princess Wenning back to the palace, she is not feeling well, and it is not suitable to live in the paddock permanently. ”
When Meng Xilan heard this, she felt a "chuckle" in her heart again, and things seemed to have gotten worse!
Zhou Youlin's eyes always paid attention to Meng Xilan, and when he saw her face change abruptly, he deliberately said aloud: "Yes, the son obeys the order, and he will definitely escort the princess back to the palace." ”
If there is no absolute coincidence in this world, then it must be God's intention...... That's right, this is the opportunity God gave him!
Meng Xilan walked out of the big tent, and she could feel that Zhou Youlin also walked out. She instinctively tightened her mind, took Zhulu's hand, and said, "Let's go back." ”
Zhu Lu glanced at Zhou Youlin, feeling bad.
Zhou Youlin followed her step by step, and did not intend to leave.
Meng Xilan was angry but couldn't get angry at him in front of so many people, she was silent for a while, suddenly turned around, looked directly at Zhou Youlin's face, and asked coldly, "What is the prince doing with me?" ”
Zhou Youlin saw that she finally couldn't hold her breath, stopped and said, "I have something to say to you." ”
Meng Xilan smiled coldly: "What else is there to say between us?" Zhou Youlin, let me tell you, if you dare to make a mistake again, I will go to report to the emperor now, it's a big deal to tear your face! ”
She was really angry, otherwise, she wouldn't have said such things easily.
"No matter how much you hate me in your heart, I still have something to say to you, and I promise, this is the last time." Zhou Youlin bit the last four words very hard, hoping that he could convince her.
The last time? Meng Xilan looked at him with a look full of doubts, not knowing whether he was true or false.
"There's going to be a break between you and me anyway, isn't it?" Zhou Youlin spoke again, this was the first time, he took the initiative to say the word "broken" to her.
Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly. Yes, it's time for a real break between them.
"Okay, since the prince said so, I am willing to believe you again. However, talking is talking, and there should still be rules. I won't meet you alone, so I want all of Zhulu Zhuqing and Xiaolizi around me to be present. ”
After the events of that day, Meng Xilan would not give him any more opportunities to be alone with him.
Zhou Youlin frowned invisibly when he heard this, but he still nodded in agreement. "Okay, they are your cronies, you don't shy away from it, and I naturally don't have to shy away from it."
It's just a few palace people, and they can't get in the way of him.
Meng Xilan saw that he agreed so happily, but she felt even more uneasy, so she said again: "Not only that, but I also want my second brother Meng Xiran to be there." ”
When Zhou Youlin heard this, his expression changed slightly, as if he didn't understand her intentions.
"What? The prince is unwilling? That's right, my second brother has always been loyal to the prince, if he knew that the prince had done such a frivolous thing to his beloved sister, what would he think in his heart? ”
