He was so close to her that he could smell her scent, a rich fragrance similar to the fragrance of flowers, as if it had been extracted from a hundred flowers, clear and fragrant, all-encompassing.

Chu Jingchuan took a long breath, and the wrinkles on his eyebrows deepened. Memories of the past poured into her mind, and she was also so close to his arms back then, with a full fragrance.

He looked at her face, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were entangled, Meng Xilan was impartial, and he saw his heart all the way, there was a deep affection in his eyes, and he had the urge to try.

After so many years, he is still like this, and he can see the bottom at a glance.

Meng Xilan used her body as the last bargaining chip, and it was not difficult to make Chu Jingchuan soft-hearted, as long as she was willing to show her pride, dignity, shame, everything.

Chu Jingchuan's dark pupils flashed with light, and the woman in front of her was within reach.

As long as he gives an order, she will not hesitate to offer herself.

He had been waiting for this day for fifteen years...... As fate would have been, she should have been his woman! She should have been his, if they had successfully married back then, they would have been both children by now.

The son will grow into a handsome young man, and he will teach him archery, so that he will become a pillar of the country and a useful person. And their daughter must look very much like her, smiling lightly, like a jade person...... Thinking of this, Chu Jingchuan's eyes turned cold! He hated her, hated her for ruining the beauty of his life!

The impulse in his eyes was gradually replaced by anger.

He didn't want to touch her, let alone use force on her, because that would only make him angrier in his heart.

Chu Jingchuan slowly let go of her hand, sat up, and laughed at her coldly: "Meng Xilan, you are nothing to me. ”

After he said this, he raised his hand and patted his heart, and said coldly: "This heart, once upon a time, was beating only for you!" And now, there will be no place for you here. ”

Meng Xilan was lying on the bed, listening to his words, only to feel that he was lying at all.

Sometimes, the more people say they don't care, the more they actually care in their hearts.

She spoke slowly, "If you really didn't care about me, you wouldn't stay here and talk to me like this." ”

She looked at Chu Jingchuan's body that was tense because of restraint, and sighed, "The emperor will be back soon." ”

She said this sentence deliberately, stimulating his sensitive self-esteem.

Chu Jingchuan's face changed when he heard this, he turned his head to stare into her eyes and said, "Meng Xilan, you have always been smart and clever, why are you stupid now?" Could it be that you are still waiting for Zhou Youchen to come back to save you? ”

Meng Xilan said quietly: "This is not an extravagant hope. The emperor will definitely come back. Even if it's not for me, it's for the prince. ”

Chu Jingchuan shook his head, and then sneered: "You are really confident, I won't keep you for so long." ”

This sentence contains anger and murderous intentions.

At this point, there was no turning back for him.

Meng Xilan sat up when she heard this, straightened her clothes, and said, "You can kill me, but you can't touch the prince......"

Chu Jingchuan stood up and left without saying a word, leaving him with an indifferent back.

Meng Xilan almost cried bitterly, she bit her lower lip hard, wrapped her hands around her body, and buried her head in her knees.

She held back her tears, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but none of them ensured the safety of herself and the prince.

Zhou Youchen didn't promise, he didn't come back on time, he put himself and the prince in crisis...... Now, even if Zhou Youchen travels day and night and rushes back to the capital, it will take at least a month, and one month is enough to turn the palace into ruins and the capital into a sea of fire.

It was already difficult for her to keep Chu Jingchuan for one night. It's too hard to keep him for a whole month.

Meng Xilan gritted her teeth and restrained her fear, she raised her eyes to look at the outer hall and found that Gao Fuli and Zhulu were not there.

Gao Fuli followed Chu Jingchuan all the way, he didn't know where he got the courage, but he still followed.

When Chu Jingchuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, Gao Fuli knelt down respectfully and said, "General, please spare Niangniang and the prince......"

Anyway, they've known each other for more than ten years. The master and the general are the most suitable pair in the world. But helplessly, after the master entered the palace, too many things happened......

Gao Fuli looked up at Chu Jingchuan: "General, don't resent the master, the master can't help himself...... The slave has served the master for more than ten years, and he has seen the sadness of the master......"

Chu Jingchuan lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes were cold.

Gao Fuli met his gaze and only said: "General, how can you block the people of the world and usurp power today?" The general's life is above board, does he want to accuse himself and future generations of rebellion? ”

Although he was a eunuch, his words were sonorous and powerful.

Seeing that he didn't stop him, Gao Fuli hugged his leg hard and pleaded: "Leaving the crown prince is the general leaving a way back for himself." ”

Chu Jingchuan was silent for a moment, and then sneered: "Xiao Lizi, you are still so smart. ”

Gao Fuli felt a thrill in his heart when he heard this, could he have planned it a long time ago.

Chu Jingchuan said indifferently: "Don't worry." The prince is of great use to me. ”

Gao Fuli was slightly stunned, and then his hand loosened, and the whole person sat on the ground.

What is it useful? What's that for?

Gao Fuli looked at Chu Jingchuan's departing back, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly sat up and returned to Cining Palace.

At first glance, Meng Xilan's disheveled appearance, Gao Fuli was secretly startled.

Meng Xilan saw him looking at himself with complicated eyes, so he said, "Don't think too much, let alone talk too much!" How is the prince now? ”

Gao Fuli came to her with a heavy face, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, General Chu has controlled the prince. ”

Meng Xilan had expected it, and said in a deep voice: "It's too dangerous in this palace, I'm going to send him out." ”

To be precise, she was going to help him get out of here.

Gao Fuli raised his eyebrows: "Niangniang, this is simply impossible!" He paused for a moment before he said, "Right now, in the eyes of the general, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more valuable than you, the master...... Moreover, he also said it himself, he wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be of great use! ”

This palace has been completely reduced to a gorgeous prison cell, full of Chu Jingchuan's subordinates, let alone a big living person, even a fly can't fly out!

Meng Xilan clenched her fists and muttered, "It's good to be useful, at least this can save the life of immortality......

She could already guess Chu Jingchuan's purpose for staying immortal. Seizing power is not an easy task.

Chu Jingchuan acted like this, he could destroy the dignity of the Beiyan royal family, but he couldn't stand up as a king, he couldn't be the emperor himself. Because if that happens, he will be detained the title of "rebel and traitor" for the rest of his life, and the descendants of the Chu family will also be under such a shadow...... Therefore, for Chu Jingchuan, the most reasonable position is not to be the emperor himself, but to blackmail the crown prince, take him as a hostage, and then control the entire Northern Yan court in the name of regent.

Meng Xilan's heart was as careful as hair, she had already thought about the things clearly.

Gao Fuli listened to her words, and in addition to being surprised, he also admired a little.

Now is the worst time, but Niangniang hasn't fallen yet, she's still planning, she's still trying to fight for it.

Gao Fuli nodded and said, "What Niangniang said is very reasonable. At the moment, the servants can't leave the palace, and they can't think of a way to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from leaving for a while. ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath: "Don't rush this matter is very important, there can't be any mistakes." So, let's take a long-term view......"

Meng Xilan regained her senses, calmed her emotions, and thought quietly.

Gao Fuli only said: "The emperor will get the news soon, and he will definitely take action when the time comes." ”

Meng Xilan's eyes sank, looked at a place in the inner hall, and said softly: "Before the emperor left, he had left me an edict. ”

Edict? Gao Fuli was taken aback and his eyes widened.

"It was an imperial edict that allowed the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly." Meng Xilan said word by word.

Zhou Youchen went to Cangzhou and had already expected the consequences to be serious.

Zhou Youlong sat on one side, and he used defense instead of attack, delaying the wartime, which was enough to give the court a headache.

He is not a bone to gnaw on, so before Zhou Youchen left, he handed over the handwritten edict to Meng Xilan.

When any accident happens, Meng Xilan only needs to take out this edict and succeed to the throne smoothly. This is their last move.

Gao Fuli listened to Niangniang's words, as if he saw a glimmer of hope from the darkness of the sky.

Meng Xilan looked into his eyes and said, "Only you and Zhulu know about this matter, you have to keep this secret." If anything happens to me, you and Zhulu must hand over this edict to the prince. ”

Gao Fuli was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you will be fine......

In his opinion, Chu Jingchuan would not hurt his master. How can a person who has been in his heart for more than ten years be easily erased?

The general hates his master very much, but there is no hatred if there is no love, and if he can't let go, he can't let go......

Meng Xilan slowly lowered her eyes when she heard this: "People will change. Chu Jingchuan is very ambitious now, and I can't stop him. This is the evil fire he has been holding in his heart for more than ten years, and if he doesn't let this breath out, he won't give up. ”

Love can warm people and hurt people, Chu Jingchuan's love for her has now become a bitter hatred.

Gao Welfare lowered his head: "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this, and hooked the corners of her lips: "I have been in the palace for twenty years, and I never thought of serving people with color, but now there is only this way." It's just that my body and face no longer have the demeanor of the past. ”

Gao Fuli's heart tightened when he heard this, but he was silent for a long time before he said: "Niangniang, you have always been the most beautiful." ”
