Meng Xilan didn't remember how long she cried, she only remembered that before consciousness disappeared, her ears were full of Zhou Youchen's voice, he was so close to her, so close that she could clearly hear his heartbeat.

When she woke up again, her eyes were astringent and swollen, so swollen that she couldn't open them, and her head was faintly painful, Meng Xilan bit her lip slightly, and couldn't help but sigh softly, complaining that she shouldn't drink so much wine.

She just woke up from a dream, and suddenly a voice came from above her head: "Is it still uncomfortable?" ”

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, raised her eyes, and found that she was not leaning on the head of the bed, but on Zhou Youchen's shoulder.

He's still here......

Meng Xilan hurriedly sat up, but as a result, she was a little violent, causing a dizziness in front of her.

The taste of this hangover is really uncomfortable.

Zhou Youchen held her shoulder and said with concern: "Do you want to ask Imperial Doctor Jiao to come and show you?" ”

To be honest, her face was very ugly, white, not as red as when she was drunk.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath: "I'm fine, just sober up." After speaking, she summoned Gao Fuli and said with a serious face: "You quickly send the people outside out, so that the ninth master can leave." ”

Although he is underage, he is already half an adult. Why stay here overnight?

Meng Xilan glared at Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing, thinking to herself that she was drunk, but they were all sober and shouldn't have acted like this.

Zhou Youchen looked at her carefully, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he got up and said, "You don't have to worry, I will go to the Queen Mother's bedroom to say hello, and then leave Cining Palace openly." ”

He had already figured out a way, otherwise, he wouldn't have shown up out of nowhere.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes a little tired when she heard this, and said lightly: "That's good, you go back first." I was so out of shape last night, don't take it personally. ”

Zhou Youchen's thin lips opened lightly: "I'll come to see you again in the evening." ”

Meng Xilan stroked her forehead with one hand, obviously heard it but pretended not to hear it, and only ordered Gao Fuli: "You send the ninth master over." ”

Zhou Youchen's eyes froze slightly when he heard this, and he turned around and left silently.

After he left, Meng Xilan looked at Zhu Lu and said, "Why are you so confused?" Could it be that you were drunk last night? ”

Zhulu lowered her head: "Master, the slave persuaded the ninth master for a long time last night, but he just refused to leave." Slaves and maids can't alarm the guards outside, it's not easy to make a noise. ”

The ninth master has a stubborn personality, and where they want to persuade them, they can persuade them.

Meng Xilan also had no intention of blaming them, rubbed her forehead, and said, "How is the Queen Mother?" ”

"Back to the master, Master Jiao came early in the morning and added two more flavors to Niangniang's prescription." Zhulu knew very well.

Meng Xilan's eyebrows twisted when she heard this, only to feel that her head hurt even more.

It seems that Niangniang's physical condition is getting worse and worse.

Time passed little by little, and the residual drunkenness and tiredness in Meng Xilan's body slowly disappeared, and she gradually became sober, and she could even be said to be unusually sober.

Last night's brief gaffe can be regarded as a mistake, otherwise, the pressure accumulated in her heart cannot be released, and she may feel more hard than before.

After a while, the palace maid outside said: "Prince Gong and His Royal Highness the county lord have come down to ask the Queen Mother to come here." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the room changed slightly. Prince Gong's family has not appeared in the palace for a long time, just because the scandal of Zhou Li'er and the drama Zhu's secret knot has been spread all over the city, so that their mother and daughter also have no place in the palace. Entering the palace this time, the Xu family felt a lot of pressure in his heart, not to mention that he had to bring his daughter with him.

Gao Fuli came to the master's side and whispered: "The slave heard that the prince recently intends to find a son-in-law for himself. ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this, and the curvature of the corners of her lips was like a crescent moon: "With what her daughter did, it is impossible to marry out of the palace." ”

If it's an ordinary person, it's better, even if you make some mistakes, you won't be caught.

"She deserves it." Gao Fuli whispered again.

I heard that Zhou Lier gave birth to a premature daughter and died within a few days. But there is also news that the child was sent to other places and fostered by others, so as not to stay in the capital and regenerate branches.

When Prince Gong and Princess Xu came to Cining Palace, they only saw the Queen Mother, and they couldn't even say a word.

The Queen Mother was so sick that she was in a daze, how could she pay attention to them.

Zhou Li'er looked at her mother with disgust: "I told you not to do much, you just didn't listen to ......"

Xu glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

When Meng Xilan arrived, they were about to leave the dormitory.

"Say hello to the princess, hello to the county lord's sister."

The moment she saw her, Zhou Li'er's face changed abruptly, and her whole face stiffened. After the accident, the last person she wanted to see was Meng Xilan.

For some reason, Xu felt guilty in her heart, or felt karma, she made the Meng family lose her reputation, and she also ended up faceless.

Retribution is unpleasant, perhaps it is providential......

Zhou Li'er lowered her eyes slightly, and returned the salute lightly: "Princess Wan'an." ”

Meng Xilan is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, and her identity is above her. At this moment and then, Xu saw her, and his smile was a little unnatural.

Meng Xilan just came over to say hello, and there was no desire to say hello, and the Xu family also hurried away with Zhou Li'er.

Since the Queen Mother didn't see it, they still have to go to the Queen's Palace.

After Meng Xilan took a few steps forward, as if she remembered something, she turned to look at Zhou Li'er and clenched the sleeve in her hand slightly. She walked slowly, her shoulders drooped weakly, and just looking at her back showed that she was unhappy.

At this time, she is completely like two people compared to Zhou Li'er, who was commanding and high-minded back then.

Different circumstances in life can completely change a person and change him beyond recognition.

Three days later, Chu Jingwen temporarily returned to her parents' house with no worries, and Meng Xilan went over to see off their mother and daughter.

Wuwu didn't know how to speak, and looked at Meng Xilan with a smile, her big eyes were like black grapes, full of innocence.

She had no idea what was going on, but she could still smile so beautifully.

"Jingwen is sorry...... I couldn't help you with anything. Meng Xilan hesitated and spoke.

She always felt that she still owed her a word of apology.

Chu Jingwen naturally understood the deep meaning of her words, and only said, "Don't tell me I'm sorry." From the day I entered the palace, we knew that sooner or later there would be this day. Moreover, I know better than you what kind of person the prince is...... Lan'er, to put it irreverently, I have been hoping that this will happen sooner, so that I and Wuwu can find a way out of life. ”

Since you know that there is a hurdle and are waiting for yourself in front of you, what difference does it make if you come early or late.

Chu Jingwen looked at the carefree in his arms, and said softly: "As long as the worry-free is fine." ”

If the child is safe, she will be safe, and as for Zhou Youping's life and death, she has no time to take care of it.

Meng Xilan touched Wuwu's swaddling clothes, "Don't worry, no matter how angry the emperor is with the second prince, he will not hurt you and Wuwu." You are all innocent and should not suffer with him. ”

"After returning to my mother's house, at least I don't have to look at other people's faces anymore, so that's fine." Chu Jingwen hugged the worries and continued: "Lan'er, you know that these days, I am about to be tormented and crazy by the gloating eyes around me. I wish I could get out of here......"

Meng Xilan understood what that feeling was like. "I know, you take care of yourself, if you have the chance......"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped, and hid the second half of her sentence.

Chu Jingwen smiled slightly: "Don't force yourself." You don't have to come to Chu's house to visit me, when the time is right, we'll see you again." After speaking, she stretched out a hand and gently shook it with Meng Xilan.

Meng Xilan's heart was sour. I don't know when I will see you again.

After the rebellion came to an end, Murong Qiao specially invited Meng Xilan to Zhaohua Palace and thanked her in person.

Meng Xilan reacted indifferently, and only said: "Niangniang, it's still an extraordinary time, let's keep a low profile." ”

Murong Qiao's smile was as bright as a flower, his eyes were bright, and he said, "This palace knows the severity. It's just that your Meng family has helped Lin'er so much, and this favor is naturally to be kept in mind by this palace. ”

She shook her hand affectionately as she spoke, only to feel how rare she looked. "You did what you said. Bengong didn't misread you, and Lin'er didn't misunderstand you. Without the second prince in front of him, Lin'er's future path will be much easier. ”

To be honest, she is now 100% sure in her heart that her son, Zhou Youlin, is the only heir to the throne.

Meng Xilan looked at Murong Qiao's smiling face, and her heart was a little unpredictable. "Mother, do you believe in karma?"

Murong Qiao was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Good and dignified, how did you mention this." Do you still have to be modest with this palace, can the second prince have today because he has done too much evil by himself? ”

Meng Xilan saw that she was not interested, so she said again: "Niangniang, in fact, I have always wanted to ask someone to help me. ”

"Oh, you say ......" Murong Qiao still likes her straightforward personality.

"It's about the biological mother of the Ninth Master, Concubine Xiao's ......" Meng Xilan said this word by word, her tone was hesitant, and she seemed to be very embarrassed.

The smile on Murong Qiao's face did not decrease, but his eyes instantly became dark, and he was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Are you still interested in Concubine Xiao's affairs? ”

She's always been very smart, so why bother herself and mention old things?

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly, and pretended to sigh: "It's all for the ninth master." In fact, he has always missed his biological mother Concubine Xiao Niangniang in his heart, and after the Changqing Palace was burned, Concubine Xiao's tablet was useless along with this. Therefore, I thought if I could find a suitable place in the palace and erect a tablet for Concubine Xiao again. ”

Looking at Concubine Ning's reaction, although she doesn't seem to have a ghost in her heart, she is also quite taboo.
