Chapter 266: Enough is enough
Zhou Youchen listened to her words, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and was in a trance for a moment before he remembered to hold her hand and clasp it firmly on his chest.
"You...... You're not coaxing, are you? ”
Meng Xilan said with a smile when she heard this: "The emperor doesn't need to doubt me, this kind of thing is not something that can be joked about casually." ”
Zhou Youchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not suspicious of you, I'm just a little surprised......"
She is always so close and distant to him, intimate and intimate, but she can't ask for it. Every time he took a step forward, she would take a step back, always maintaining a safe distance, making him anxious and angry.
Meng Xilan took another sip of the medicine and frowned bitterly.
Zhou Youchen pursed the corners of his lips, sat down next to her, and reached out to take the medicine bowl in her hand.
"Come, I'll feed you."
"Is the emperor trying to coax me?" Meng Xilan deliberately made a joke about him.
Zhou Youchen's eyes were clear and said: "If you can, I really want to coax you like this for the rest of my life." ”
Meng Xilan suddenly blushed for a while, and hurriedly lowered her eyes: "Doesn't the emperor hate this smell of medicine very much?" ”
Zhou Youchen looked at her and said lightly: "I don't hate it now." ”
He personally fed her medicine, and in his gestures, he was warm and careful.
Meng Xilan drank quietly, and when the medicine bowl saw the bottom, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She rinsed her mouth first, then dipped her handkerchief in some water, trying to wipe her lips. Every time I drank the medicine, even the corners of my lips were full of bitterness. Zhou Youchen took the first step, gently brushed her lips with his fingertips, and then leaned forward without scruples, doing something that made the minions bow their heads and dare not look at them directly.
He leaned forward and hugged Meng Xilan, and then lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips.
Everyone held their breath and was silent, and no one dared to break the tranquility of this moment.
Meng Xilan seemed to have expected it, but when she realized that he was kissing her, her body still trembled slightly uncontrollably.
It's hard to describe, the content is complex and obscure, a little nervous, a little uneasy, a little overwhelmed...... Even at one point, she felt a hint of guilt in her heart. Wrong, wrong, maybe everything was wrong, she and he shouldn't be like this......
Her lips had an extremely deep and bitter taste, but for Zhou Youchen, this bitter taste seemed to have some kind of wonderful magic, and finally those bitterness slowly transformed into mellow sweetness between his lips and teeth, driving him to want to absorb more, more. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her against the bed.
Although it was the first time he was close to the opposite sex, he was able to act on instinct without a teacher.
Meng Xilan's breathing was also messy, and the masculine aura that came to her face made her breathless.
Zhou Youchen's heart began to pound uncontrollably, disturbing his originally clean and tidy thoughts, his movements were slightly stiff, but he was careful everywhere.
Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing exchanged glances, not knowing whether to stay or leave. Gao Fuli covered his mouth and snickered, raised the dust in his hands, and motioned for everyone to retreat silently.
It seems that the emperor and his master are going to do a good thing tonight.
The crowd tiptoed away and quietly lowered the curtains, leaving only a room of silence.
In such an atmosphere, even if you make a mistake, it will feel excusable. However, when his hand slid into her placket, Meng Xilan's eyes widened instantly, and then she began to struggle, she pushed Zhou Youchen away violently, grabbed her collar and sat up.
At that moment, she looked at him with a wary look in her eyes.
Zhou Youchen was slightly stunned, looking at the panicked look on her face, and suddenly his heart tightened.
Is she afraid of herself? Why?
Zhou Youchen gasped, and finally let his body calm down, then turned over, lay on his back beside her, and sighed deeply: "I'm sorry ......"
"I'm sorry." The two men said this almost in unison.
Meng Xilan bit her lip slightly, straightened her collar, and said again: "I'm sorry......"
Zhou Youchen turned his eyes to look at her: "No, it's because I'm too anxious, and I don't know how to stop in moderation." ”
She clearly said that she wanted him to wait, but his heart warmed up first.
Meng Xilan lowered her eyebrows and was silent, subconsciously hugging her knees. She didn't know what was wrong with her? It was just that moment when some bad memories flashed in front of her eyes.
Now, although she is still perfect, the memories of her previous life are still sealed in her body. It's not that she doesn't know how to be a little girl, the faces that flashed just now are clearly Zhou Shili's face...... She suddenly started feeling nauseous, which is why she overreacted.
Zhou Youchen lay quietly for a while, then sat up again and said, "It's not right for me today, I will go back first, so as not to make you uncomfortable." ”
He cleared his throat a little embarrassed, Meng Xilan hesitated, grabbed his wide cuffs, and said in a low voice: "Give me some more time......
Hearing this, Zhou Youchen reached out and stroked the scattered hair on her forehead, and said seriously: "I will wait for you, it doesn't matter how long you wait." ”
He is her only vision, even if he waits for her for the rest of his life, he has no regrets.
When he saw Zhou Youchen coming out, Gao Fuli's heart chuckled, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
It seems that it didn't work out again! Seeing that the emperor's face was flushed, he must have been moved, and it can be seen that the mother refused him again. Alas...... It's not possible to go on like this, the emperor's age is the time when the blood is strong, if others have a chance to take advantage of it, wouldn't it be bad!
Gao Fulu silently worried about Meng Xilan, bowed his head and followed behind Zhou Youchen, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, not daring to say a word along the way, for fear of upsetting him.
Zhulu Zhuqing lifted the curtain and entered the house, and saw the master sitting on the edge of the bed alone, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
Zhu Lu glanced at the shallow folds on the bed, and whispered, "Niangniang, the slave will comb your hair." ”
Meng Xilan nodded "um".
She stood up and walked over to the vanity mirror, where she looked at herself, her sideburns were a little messy, and her cheeks were slightly hot.
She reached out and touched her face, and sighed, "Zhulu, do you think I'm stupid?" ”
"Huh?" Zhulu panicked when she heard this, and then said, "Niangniang, what did you say?" ”
Meng Xilan seemed to smile: "It's all come to this point, I'm still hesitating...... It's not stupid, what is it? ”
From the moment she left the Fahua Temple, she expected that there would be such a day in her heart. It's something that happens sooner or later. In the past, she could sacrifice everything she had, even her self-esteem, for revenge, but now, she actually began to be timid and couldn't give up this body. After all, compared to the thousands of generations of the Meng family, what is important about her body.
Zhulu sensed that she was in a bad mood, so she hurriedly put down the wooden comb, squatted down, and said softly: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
Could it be that the emperor was angry, so the mother was sad? No, the emperor's expression doesn't look like he's angry.
Zhulu looked up at her master, thought for a while, and then said: "Niangniang, the slave has been with you for so many years, and I know that you have a lot of things hidden in your heart, and your heart is too heavy...... Niangniang, you are still young, and the days to come are still long, if you always bend yourself like this, it is not a solution. Besides, the emperor and you are the ones who grew up together in this palace, and you are his closest person, so don't always stay away from him......"
Meng Xilan didn't know what she said, how could she be, this heart is so uncompromising, always entangled, always hesitating.
……
The candle flame was bright, and it shook slightly, and people's eyes hurt.
After returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhou Youchen was alone and silently for a while, and all that lingered in his mind was Meng Xilan's figure and expression. Until the eunuch outside came to report that Wen Jieyu was sick.
He came to his senses a little, and Gao Fuli sent tea and said, "Your Majesty, someone has been sent from the Tai Hospital." ”
Zhou Youchen drank a bowl of tea before saying, "Just have the imperial doctor to take care of it, and I won't go." ”
When Gao Fuli heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he only glanced at the eunuch who reported the news, making him retreat.
Who knew that after half an hour, someone came over there again, saying that Wen Jieyu's high fever did not go away, which was a bit serious.
Zhou Youchen closed the fold and thought for a while before saying, "Who is the person who is on duty at the Tai Hospital tonight?" ”
"Long live Hui, it's Imperial Doctor Zhang." High welfare is clear.
It turns out that the Jiao family is not there.
Zhou Youchen slowly got up and said, "Let's take a look, and tell the palace people to ask Imperial Doctor Jiao, so as not to delay any serious illness." ”
Although he has no affection for Zhang Rong'er, he also hopes that she can live peacefully in the palace.
Gao Welfare wanted to dissuade him, but he gave up after thinking about it.
He's just a minion, and he can't talk too much in front of his master in everything.
Since it is a high fever that does not go away, it must be caused by a cold.
When Zhou Youchen arrived, Imperial Physician Zhang was kneeling outside the door.
"Why don't you go to check Jieyu's pulse, what are you doing kneeling here?"
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down and bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang is now in a high fever, and the palace maids are using ice cubes to give her a cold compress, and it is inconvenient for Weichen to go in......"
Zhou Youchen frowned when he heard this, waved his hand at Gao Fuli, signaling that they didn't need to follow, and walked in alone.
The scene in the house was a bit hectic, and the palace ladies knelt down in unison to salute.
Zhou Youchen could see Zhang Rong'er lying on the bed inside through the thin gauze tent.
Zhou Youchen didn't approach, ready to take a look and leave.
Who knows, but there was a soft call from inside: "Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"
The palace maid beside her knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, Niangniang has been calling your name again, please go over and see my mother." ”
Then, past the curtain lifted by the palace maid, Zhou Youchen saw clearly that Zhang Rong'er on the bed was lying naked in the quilt at this time, with smooth shoulders and two slender arms restlessly exposed.
"Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"
Her voice sounded weaker and weaker.
Zhou Youchen's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he slowly walked towards the bed, looked at Zhang Rong'er, who was blushing and half-squinting, and asked in a deep voice, "Wen Jieyu, are you okay?" ”
As soon as Zhang Rong'er heard his voice, she reached over, grabbed his arm with her arm, and was about to sit up, not afraid that she would be gone.
"Your Majesty...... The concubine is so uncomfortable. ”
She opened her mouth delicately and pressed it hard against him.
Zhou Youchen glanced at her, suddenly smiled coldly, and then picked up the basin on the side, and poured the warm water directly on her head.
With a "bang", Zhang Rong'er was frightened and suddenly embarrassed.
The surrounding palace maids were also dumbfounded.
Zhang Rong'er suddenly came to her senses, covered herself with the quilt, looked at Zhou Youchen and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing......
Seeing her like this, Zhou Youchen smiled deeper on his lips, only threw the basin on the ground, and said coldly: "If you want to pretend to be sick, you should calm down." Don't say that I splash you with warm water, even if it is ice water, you should endure it silently. ”
