Chapter 148: Thorn (2)

After waking up in the morning, Meng Xilan's body was a little uncomfortable, her head hurt, her limbs were a little sore, and she felt very tired. She sat on the edge of the bed and was quiet for a while, reached out and touched her forehead, it was slightly hot, and sure enough, she had a cold. Recently, she often sneaks out at night and wanders around the palace with Zhou Youchen until the early hours of the morning, which is really careless.

In the past, she rarely indulged herself like this, but there were too many things that had happened recently, and she thought too much, and when she was physically and mentally exhausted, she really hoped that there would be an opportunity to let herself be reckless and let out the heavy pressure in her heart...... She and him were dressed in black cloaks, like ghosts, walking lightly and silently on the empty road, and sometimes, when Zhou Youchen suddenly grabbed her, he would take her to run wantonly, just to avoid the patrolling guards...... They have never been discovered, not once, and perhaps not in the future......

The palace at night has a completely different appearance from the daytime, deep and mysterious, they walk close to the thick palace walls, and they will faintly hear a faint sound in their ears, as if someone is muttering to them

The presumptuousness of the night was a test for Meng Xilan's physical strength and spirit. She often wakes up late lately, and occasionally sleeps until noon, Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing know this, and usually avoid talking about it...... In fact, there were several times before, when they came in the middle of the night to change the candles for the master, only to find that the master was not resting in bed at all, she was not anywhere, and disappeared out of thin air...... Reaching out and touching the bed, it was cool, as if no one had been lying down for a long time.

Zhulu and Zhuqing were scared half to death on the spot, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that something was not right, walked to the window and looked, and vaguely guessed a few points in their hearts, so they quietly stayed in the house, waiting without saying a word, until the sky was dark, and they saw the master jumping into the room from the window with a cloak on. She was panting, her cheeks were slightly red, and her expression was slightly nervous but with a cheerful smile.

The two of them were slightly stunned, their mouths opened wide, but they couldn't make a sound.

Meng Xilan raised her finger at them and shrugged softly: "You guys should have not seen anything." Because of these words, Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing didn't dare to ask anything anymore, anyway, no matter where the master went, she would come back every time, and she was in a happy mood.

After freshening up, Zhulu also reached out to probe his master's forehead, and frowned unconsciously and said, "Master, you must have a fever...... I must have suffered a cold at night......"

She shook her head unhappily, but she didn't dare to say anything to her master, so she hurriedly sent someone to invite Jiao Changqing.

I haven't seen him for a long time, Jiao Changqing's whole person looks a little thin, and he seems to be having a hard time.

"Long time no see, sir." Meng Xilan smiled slightly.

Jiao Changqing lowered his eyes and smiled back at her.

"I'm getting a little cold." Before Meng Xilan could diagnose his pulse, he honestly told his illness.

Jiao Changqing smiled again, took out the pulse pillow, and helped her look and smell step by step, and sure enough, she was suffering from the cold.

Jiao Changqing picked up the brush, wrote a prescription for clearing heat and driving away cold, handed it to Zhu Lu and said: "Five bowls of water are fried into one bowl, and taken after meals, twice in the morning and evening." ”

Zhulu took it with both hands and promised with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, the tea has been brewed, and the slave will bring it to you." ”

Jiao Changqing raised his hand, signaled that she didn't need it, got up and looked at Meng Xilan and said, "Weichen has to go to Mingde Palace, Your Highness's good tea, save it for next time." ”

Meng Xilan also stood up: "How is the body of the crown princess?" ”

It's inconvenient for her to go to Mingde Palace to walk around, but she has always been very concerned about Chu Jingwen's health?

"The first few months are the most difficult, and the mother is pregnant for the first time, and she is restless, and she often has insomnia at night, so it affects the fetal gas." Jiao Changqing was unwilling to hide the truth, and said 1510.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has threatened him more than once to keep this child at all costs, whether he can keep it in the end depends on God's will......

Meng Xilan frowned slightly: "My lord has worked hard, I believe in my lord's ability, please help the crown princess protect the fetus in her womb." ”

How hard Chu Jingwen's days in the palace were, Meng Xilan knew in her heart. This child may be her only hope for survival.

After Jiao Changqing left, Zhulu and Zhuqing both walked to Meng Xilan's side and knelt down in a proper manner: "Slave and maid are bold, I hereby ask the master not to be greedy for cold at night, close the window, and rest well." ”

This is a metaphor, but Meng Xilan naturally understands the meaning.

"Got it, I'll recuperate in peace." In a few days, it will be Brother Yun'er's 100-day banquet, and she wants to go back energetically, so naturally she can't be sick.

The Meng family hasn't had a happy event for a long time, and originally wanted to do it well. It's a pity that during the national funeral, every family can't be extravagant and extravagant. The old lady took the idea, only set up a few tables of banquets at home, and invited some close relatives and friends to come over for a simple meal.

Meng Xilan took leave from the Queen Mother early in the morning, went out of the palace and returned home, and brought a few small gifts.

As long as she returns home, Meng Xilan's face will always inadvertently appear with a faint smile, she is really happy, even if there are still many troubles in her heart that have not been solved, as long as she sees the faces of her family, she will feel at ease.

Qiao Huiyun personally taught Brother Yun, who had gained a lot of weight, to Meng Xilan's arms, and now he is three months old, with a small face and a lot of growth, wearing a red pony coat, open crotch pants on his lower body, and a peace lock around his neck.

Brother Yun was born with no recognition, but now he is starting to be a little clingy.

Meng Xilan hugged Brother Yun and kissed him, looked down at him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's sunk a lot, my aunt can't hold you anymore." ”

Qiao Huiyun said with a smile: "He, he can grow two taels a day, don't say you can't hold it, I'm almost unbearable." ”

Brother Yun nestled in Meng Xilan's arms, staring at her again and again, as if he was a little impressed, and his two chubby calves kicked and babbled.

Meng Xilan's eyes were soft, and she kissed him on the cheek again: "It seems that our Brother Yun knows me." ”

Soon the banquet opened outside, and everyone sat together to drink some water and wine, eat some wine and food, and was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.

The men greeted the guests outside, while the women sat in one place and gossiped about their daily lives.

Qiao Huiyun looked at Brother Yun, who was dozing in Meng Xilan's arms, and said softly, "Let the nurse take him back." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "No need, I like to watch him sleep in my arms." ”

The feeling of immaturity and warmth is like holding a thick ball of hope. Meng Xilan personally embroidered a close-fitting coat for Yun Ge'er, the color of lotus leaf green just matched his white and red skin.

"Alas......" Half-sounded, Qiao Huiyun suddenly sighed lightly.

Meng Xilan looked up at her: "It's so decent, why is my sister-in-law sighing?" ”

"I feel sorry for you. Originally, you should have married early, raised your own child, hugged the pain, and lived a carefree life, but now it is good, and you have to live up to the year in vain. Every time Qiao Huiyun saw her love for Brother Yun, she couldn't help but think that she must be a good mother in the future.

"It's just a year, it's okay." Meng Xilan had already made all plans in her heart, let alone a year, even if it was five or ten years, she was confident that she could survive.

The corners of Yun Ge'er's mouth showed a piece of saliva, and Meng Xilan wiped her with her fingers, which was not dirty at all.

Meng Xiqiao held the teacup beside him, and said slightly: "It's been a year, sister, how can I survive......

Qiao Huiyun pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, but she didn't laugh: "A girl is not ashamed to say such bold things. ”

Meng Xiqiao came back to his senses, only to know that he had lost his temper, his face turned red, he lowered his head and adjusted the hem of his skirt, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me, if I haven't seen it, I won't think about him all the time...... But since I've seen it, somehow, I can't let go of it in my heart......"

Meng Xilan looked at her shy and cowardly coquettishness, and felt a slight sense of guilt in her heart.

She had been looking forward to this family business, and if it weren't for herself, she would have been able to put on that gorgeous wedding dress.

Just as he was thinking about it, the maid outside the door trotted in: "Your Highness...... Second Lieutenant Chu is here. ”

Meng Xilan was stunned at first when she heard this, and then her heart was overjoyed.

Qiao Huiyun got up with a smile, took Brother Yun, who was sleeping in her arms, and urged in a low voice: "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and take a look. ”

He has been gone for more than a month, how much Meng Xilan should be worried in his heart.

Meng Xilan secretly took a deep breath, walked out of the wing, and came to the front hall.

Sure enough, I saw Chu Jingchuan, who was sitting there with his head down and drinking tea. She stood in the doorway, unmoved, but looked at him for a long time, until he too spotted her.

Meng Xizhao got up at the right time and said, "Lan'er is here, just where you are talking, I have to entertain other guests." ”

There are not many opportunities for them to meet, and it is rare to have a chance to say a few thoughtful words.

Meng Xilan slowly took two steps forward and opened her mouth slightly: "When did you come back?" ”

"This morning." Chu Jingchuan also stood up and stood face to face with her, with a calm expression, not in a hurry or impatient.

He was thin and black, and he had a piece of cloth wrapped around his finger, which seemed to be injured.

"Oh, didn't you enter the palace to meet the emperor?"

Chu Jingchuan approached her lightly and said lightly: "Father went to the palace alone to resume his life, I didn't go, I want to come and see you first." ”

Meng Xilan nodded, only to feel that according to his character, it would definitely be like this. "Oh, I see. So...... Do you know all about the concubine? ”

Chu Jingchuan's expression was calm: "I know, a year...... I'll have to wait for you another year! ”

His reaction was a little too calm, which surprised Meng Xilan a little, and she thought he would be disappointed......

"Life and death are fateful, you can be safe in the palace, this is more important than anything else." Chu Jingchuan suddenly smiled and said softly.

Meng Xilan blinked suspiciously, did he hear something? Or do you know something?

"Brother Shizukawa, I'm sorry." She hesitated for a moment before she said what she had always wanted to say.

"Why do you say you're sorry? You haven't done anything to be sorry for me, but I'm always anxious, which has caused you a lot of trouble. Chu Jingchuan met her gaze and continued.

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and the sensitivity in his heart was even more sensitive, he must have known something? Definitely!

She lowered her head, reached out and grabbed his fingers wrapped around the medicine cloth, and said lightly, "Have you heard something?" ”

Chu Jingchuan sighed: "Hmm...... I know it all, Lord Wang, he seems to like you very much......"

Not only does he know it, but the Chu family already knows everything......

There have been rumors in the palace before, but Chu Jingchuan has never taken it to heart, and now when he thinks about it, he suddenly feels that he is really dull!
