Even if the prince wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he must think carefully about it first.

Zhou Youlin is not a small illness with headaches and foot pain, but the epidemic, it stands to reason that in his eyes, he is already a person who does not have much time, why should he bother with this effort and take this risk!

As soon as the crown prince was mentioned, Zhou Youlin's eyes reappeared with brilliance, and there was cold contempt in his eyes.

The prince is mediocre and useless. In terms of ability and virtue, I don't know how many times stronger than him. If it is an upright contest, the future Beiyan throne will definitely not be the turn of the crown prince to sit, but now, because of this epidemic, how can he fight with the prince?

Zhou Youlin clenched his hands, but found that he didn't even have the strength to clench his fists, so he couldn't help but be a little discouraged and beat his body. "It doesn't work! Not useful! I lost to the prince like this without knowing anything, and succumbed to that wretched, I am not reconciled! Even if it is death, I am not reconciled! ”

Although he did not say it explicitly, his words already showed his ambition and hope for the throne. The matter has come to this point, and Zhou Youlin has no reason to hide it, especially the person in front of him is not someone else, but Meng Xilan.

Meng Xilan also knew that he was uncomfortable, so she gently stopped his hand, his hand was soft and soft, and he didn't have any strength at all, so she just pressed it. "Who says you lost?"

It was only a short moment when the two hands were shaken, and Meng Xilan quickly let go of him: "Now is not the time to be discouraged, as long as you can live, you will have a chance to turn over." You are the most important prince of the emperor, and the prince who is supported the most by the ministers of the court, you will not lose! ”

Zhou Youlin was stunned when he heard this,

Looking at her eyes, her eyes are like a bottomless pool of water, dark and deep, sparkling, seemingly calm, but firm: "Changzhou matter, you have worked hard and been implicated in illness, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, this will definitely admire you." No matter how coy the prince is, he is also the end of the crossbow, and the only person the emperor values most is you. So now, it's not time to throw in the towel, what do we have to do? ”

Meng Xilan thought about it seriously, and many thoughts flashed in her heart.

Zhou Youlin didn't speak, just looked at her, looked at her face, her eyes, and felt that the person in front of him was not a simple and immature daughter at all, but a deep-minded adult with a lot of city.

Meng Xilan noticed his gaze, facing his face, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Youlin sat up slightly straight, leaned closer to her for a few minutes, and didn't speak for a while.

Meng Xilan was frank in her heart, so she simply let him look at it again and again.

After a long time, Zhou Youlin slowly retracted his gaze and returned to the topic: "What should I do?" ”

With his body, what else can he do now?

Seeing that he was back to normal, Meng Xilan had to continue to think, she thought a lot, Zhou Youlin couldn't enter the city, let alone the palace, and it was impossible to meet the emperor. However, there are also benefits of not seeing, if the emperor sees him now with this sick appearance, I am afraid that after being sad, he will be heartbroken, and if he doesn't get it, he will give up on him.

Since you can't see or see, you have to think of another way...... Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Meng Xilan's mind.

She suddenly pursed the corners of her lips, and there seemed to be a smile on her face: "I can't think of an orthodox way, why don't we find another way and use the method of ordinary people's homes?" ”

Zhou Youlin couldn't guess what she was thinking at all, so he only said, "You tell me in detail." ”

If this is someone else who says there is a way, he will not believe it. But what Meng Xilan said, he is willing to believe it.

In the streets and alleys of the market, there is such a saying: "Crying children have candy to eat!" "I wonder if the fourth prince has heard of it?" Meng Xilan pondered for a moment before asking.

Zhou Youlin obviously hadn't heard it, and shook his head in surprise: "What does this mean?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, three years old sees old." Looking at the temperament and behavior of a child, you can vaguely judge the future of the child's creation when he grows up...... And children also have the ability of children, good and bad, treacherous and stupid, in the family, children are around their parents and want to be favored all the time. But there is only one pair of fathers and mothers, but there are many children, and favoring one over the other often happens. Whenever this happens, there will always be children crying loudly, which makes people feel distressed, so that the father and mother are reluctant to put him down, only hold him and coax him, and even coax him with candy that no one else can get. Fourth Prince, why do you think this is? ”

Zhou Youlin was just discouraged for a while, but he was not so confused, his eyebrows moved slightly, and his face was faintly unhappy: "You want me to pretend to be pitiful?" ”

That's right, just pretend to be pitiful! It's just that Zhou Youlin has always been arrogant, so naturally he won't be willing.

Meng Xilan nodded and gently persuaded: "Sometimes showing weakness is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can get more care and care from others." ”

Zhou Youlin's brows furrowed even deeper: "So, you want me to pretend to be pitiful to my father?" ”

"Right now, that's the best way and the only way." Meng Xilan continued: "The prince is so uncompromising, but the emperor still tolerates and tolerates him again and again, after the prince was poisoned, he finally picked up a life, when the queen mother went to see him, he tearfully admitted his mistake, and the words were actually repentance, the queen mother looked soft-hearted, and the emperor looked at it and naturally soft-hearted. I know that you have always been strong in the fourth prince, but now that you are seriously ill, no matter how strong you are, you are only strong, and you can only show weakness......"

She deliberately left half of her words and left the rest to Zhou Youlin to think about by himself.

From Fang Cai's discouragement to his current thoughts, Zhou Youlin's mood rose and fell with Meng Xilan's words. There was a tense strength in his body, and he was naturally unwilling, but what she said was not completely unreasonable.

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment, seeing that he didn't shake his head in opposition, nor did he nod in agreement, he added in a timely manner: "Actually, the four princes don't have to be too embarrassed, now you and the emperor can't see each other, inside and outside the palace, if they are thousands of miles apart, only letters can be exchanged." It's just a letter, how hard can it be? ”

As long as a letter with sincere feelings and nostalgia is enough to move Zhou Shixian's internal organs.

Zhou Youlin pondered for a while before nodding: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Meng Xilan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and got up with a smile: "Then I'll help you lay the paper and grind the ink." ”

Zhou Youlin looked at her stretched eyebrows, opened his mouth, and seemed to have something to say, but he never said it.

Now is not the time, those words he has in his heart, he has to wait until he returns to the palace, and then he will talk to her.

……

Late at night, the candlelight in the palace was still bright and dazzling.

Today's prince's wedding, the whole world celebrates, but after the hustle and bustle of the day, at night, only the palace is silent, and there are many undercurrents.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.

Mingde Palace ushered in a hostess, Chu Jingwen was wearing a luxurious and exquisite red wedding robe, sitting upright in the dormitory, and there was a bright red candle in front of her, which made her eyes hurt and astringent, and even her stomach was twisted and uncomfortable.

She lowered her eyes slightly, not looking at anyone, but she knew that everyone in this palace was secretly looking at her, guessing her thoughts, guessing her future.

At this time, the cave room has all kinds of flowers and candles, only the appearance of the prince is missing.

During the day, Chu Jingwen had already seen Zhou Youping. He was younger and more handsome than she had imagined, not as obscene as she had imagined.

He has a bit of a sick air, his eyes are bright but erratic, and his gaze always gives people a sense of carelessness.

Chu Jingwen realized that he was also unwilling. This big wedding is like acting, she and he are like a play on the stage, gorgeous debut, and finish the play peacefully, so that the audience can see it satisfied.

Thinking of this, Chu Jingwen's stomach was filled with another cramp. She suddenly leaned down, clutched her chest, and retched, causing everyone to panic. "Crown Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Jingwen's stomach was full of acid reflux, but there was nothing to vomit, she almost didn't get a drop of water this day, and she hadn't eaten anything.

When everyone was panicking, a notice came from outside the door: "The prince has arrived." ”

Chu Jingwen couldn't straighten up with stomach pain, and was about to get up to salute, when a cold voice suddenly came from his ear: "What's wrong?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess suddenly felt unwell......"

Chu Jingwen lowered his head and couldn't see Zhou Youping's face, only the lower corner of his robe that shook slightly, and a pair of boots embroidered with gold thread.

Zhou Youping looked at Chu Jingwen who was squirming and uncomfortable with cold eyes, and said with a smile: "Since Concubine Ai is unwell, let's rest early." After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back, without any nostalgia or hesitation.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Today is the day of their wedding, and the crown prince didn't stay, so what should the princess do? Moreover, this is not in accordance with the rules either!

"Mother, this can't be done...... You have to keep the prince. ”

The grandmother and the palace maids are well versed in the prince's temperament, and they dare not rashly dissuade them, they only hope that Chu Jingwen will react.

Who knows, she didn't move, and after a moment's pause, she stood up and said, "It's okay, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go and rest elsewhere." ”

This sentence suddenly made everyone's faces change again, and they only looked at Chu Jingwen's expressionless face with their eyes, thinking, is this new master stupid or heartless?

It's not uncomfortable in the morning, it's not uncomfortable in the evening, but it's nauseous when the prince comes back. On the first day of marriage, she was snubbed by the crown prince, how will she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?

Chu Jingwen didn't know that the people around her were worried about her, she only felt that maybe it would be better...... Since it's just a show, what does it matter whether it is true or false between her and the prince? He didn't like her, and she didn't want to sleep with him against her will, so it was better to be clean with each other.
