Zhou Youchen's embrace was warm and comfortable, making people reluctant to leave.

Meng Xilan leaned quietly in his arms, her eyes were deep, but her tears kept flowing.

Zhou Youchen couldn't guess her thoughts, but gently comforted her. Halfway, he looked at her seriously, his eyes were full of deep helplessness and said, "Lan'er, forgive me." I never wanted to hurt you, hurt our children. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes froze slightly when she heard this, and she nodded and said, "The concubine understands." ”

"No, you don't understand!" Zhou Youchen interrupted her with some excitement.

"I have no choice, I can't afford to lose you. If you're not there, there's no point in me living. ”

He gritted his teeth and said word by word.

His hands tightened tighter and tighter, and he couldn't wait to rub her into his arms.

Meng Xilan was slightly out of breath, she reached out and gently stroked Zhou Youchen's neck.

"It's all over, and the concubine is fine."

Zhou Youchen saw that she responded, so he refused to let go and said, "Go back with me, don't continue to stay in this cold place." ”

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed: "But ......"

Zhou Youchen didn't wait for her to finish, then hugged her and said, "If you ask him to be useful, I and you won't lose our child!" ”

He picked her up by the waist and carried her all the way back to Cining Palace.

Seeing this, the palace people hurriedly bowed their heads, but they didn't dare to slack off, and trotted all the way to follow.

Although Cining Palace is empty, the lights are always bright.

Zhou Youchen saw Meng Xilan hugging him to the bed, and waved his hand to signal all the palace people to retreat.

The light in front of the bed shone on Zhou Youchen's face, allowing her to see clearly.

She scrutinized him, as if she wanted to see his heart all the way.

Zhou Youchen saw her staring at herself faintly, her heart was hot, and she began to take off her clothes, and her movements were slightly rough.

Inside the curtain, a passionate lingering has just begun. Outside the main hall, Zhulu was wearing a cloak and carrying a lantern to the Pure Heart Hall.

He was dressed in black, and he walked into the darkness like a ghost.

Zhulu returned to the Pure Heart Hall and burned all the Buddhist scriptures that Niangniang had copied. It was not burned roll by roll, but all of them were thrown into the brazier.

The fire was shining, but it couldn't illuminate Zhulu's eyes, and her gaze was gloomy.

The words that Niangniang had said suddenly sounded in her ears: "Zhulu, do you think it's very bad and bad?" ”

"No, master, you ......"

She didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted her and said: "Bengong used to want to be a bad person, but unfortunately, the kindness of the woman in Bengong's heart made Bengong unable to be a real bad person. Zhulu, you have been with Hongu for 20 years, and you are the most loyal, so Hongu needs you! Jiao Changqing may be your favorite, but he is not your lover! ”

"Zhulu, this palace can give you everything you want, but Jiao Changqing, this palace can't give it to you!"

If you can't give it, you can't give it...... She has never coveted the woman who can become Jiao Changqing anyway.

The scriptures were burned out, and only ashes remained.

Zhulu indifferently put on her cloak and turned back into the dark night.

After nightfall, Meng Xilan got up in her clothes, and behind her was Zhou Youchen, who was sleeping deeply.

She walked out of the hall gently and took the decoction handed by Zhulu.

"This is just sent by the hospital, please use it."

Zhulu didn't know what this medicine was, but she wouldn't ask whatever it was.

Meng Xilan took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

The medicine was extremely painful, but she didn't even frown.

Meng Xilan drank the medicine, took a candied fruit and said, "You have to wash this bowl with your own hands, and then smash it, don't let anyone touch it." ”

With this bowl of medicine, it doesn't hurt for her to be with the emperor every day.

When Meng Xilan went back, Zhou Youchen had already woken up.

He closed his eyes and just listened to her footsteps.

"Where have you been?"

As he spoke, he had already opened his eyes.

Meng Xilan was slightly startled, returned to his side and sat down and said, "The concubine went to the outside world to see Changsheng." ”

This is the best excuse, and it is also an excuse that Zhou Youchen will not suspect.

The candied fruit in her mouth had been eaten, and the medicinal taste in her mouth disappeared.

Meng Xilan leaned over and kissed him, soft and beautiful.

Zhou Youchen hugged her in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Next time, you will definitely give birth to a princess for me!" A princess just like you. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes froze, her slender arm wrapped around his neck, and she didn't look at his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Imperial Doctor Jiao said?" The concubines could no longer have children. ”

The tone in which she said this was not sad, just flat.

Zhou Youchen hugged her with one arm and stroked her hair: "You are still young." ”

Meng Xilan smiled silently. She's twenty-seven years old, and she's not young anymore.

……

The one-year fast ended in less than two months.

Meng Xilan's grace and scenery are back.

The people in the palace were not surprised by this, because this was not the first time.

Still, there are some people who will be disappointed.

Wu Xueer practiced dancing hard for months, just to get a chance in front of Zhou Youchen.

Now, she doesn't know when her opportunity will come along. Just when she was full of anxiety and uneasiness, Cining Palace sent someone over.

"Little master, my mother told the slave to come over and ask the little master to come over and talk."

Wu Xueer never expected that Meng Xilan would actually want to see her. She was a little stunned before she got up and replied, "The slave knows." ”

She dressed up carefully before going to Cining Palace.

Since her miscarriage, Wu Xueer saw her for the first time.

Her complexion looked good, her eyes were still bright and sharp, and her face was full of smiles.

"The slave maid greets the queen." Wu Xueer stepped forward respectfully and saluted. Although her heart was uneasy, she still didn't forget to look up and smile.

Meng Xilan glanced at her casually, peeled the grapes in her hands, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister has lost a lot of weight." ”

Wu Xue'er lowered her head: "The slave has been practicing dance skills hard recently, just to make the emperor smile. It's a pity that the slave has not had the opportunity to show it for a long time. ”

Meng Xilan ate a grape, slowly tasted the sweetness of the juice, and said slowly: "How about this palace find a chance for my sister?" ”

When Wu Xue'er heard this, she thought that her ears had heard it wrong, but looking at Meng Xilan's expression, it was clearly right.

What did she say? Does she really want to give herself a chance?

"Today, the emperor is coming to dine with the palace, so you can stay too." Meng Xilan said as she picked a grape and gently threw it to Wu Xue'er, rewarding her like a puppy.

Wu Xue'er took it with both hands and thanked her with a smile.

In the evening, Zhou Youchen and Meng Xilan had dinner together.

Meng Xilan ordered the imperial dining room to prepare good wine and food, and Zhou Youchen saw that there was wine on the table, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Can you drink?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly: "The concubines can't drink it, but the emperor can." ”

She personally poured wine for Zhou Youchen, and Zhou Youchen raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are a little strange today." ”

"Really? Later, there's something even weirder. ”

After Meng Xilan finished speaking, she put down the wine jug, then clapped her hands and said, "Let her in." ”

Wu Xue'er was wearing a bright red dance dress and walked gracefully in front of Zhou Youchen.

Zhou Youchen's face changed slightly, put down the wine glass and said, "Why is she here?" ”

Wu Xueer lowered her head anxiously, wondering what would be waiting for her?

"My sister has been practicing hard for a long time, just waiting to present a dance for the emperor." Meng Xilan said lightly.

Her eyebrows smiled: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" As the concubine said before, the harem concubines need to be wet with rain and dew. ”

When Zhou Youchen heard this, he was about to get up, but Meng Xilan held down his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, my sister has been preparing for a long time, and this is also her heart......"

"I'm not interested." Zhou Youchen didn't say anything to her face, but said lightly.

"But if the concubines want to see it, the emperor should accompany the concubines."

Meng Xilan had carefully prepared for this night, how could she give up so easily.

The wine in the cup was prepared by her in advance, and Wu Xue'er's initiative came at the right time.

Wu Xue'er's dancing is indeed moving and sultry, plus the excitement of a few glasses of water and wine.

Zhou Youchen's chest gradually warmed up. Men are different from women, and women can't move if they can't move. And the man's body is more obedient to instinctive arrangements.

When Zhou Youchen fell drunk in Wu Xue'er's arms, a smile appeared on Meng Xilan's face.

Wu Xue'er raised her head in shock, looked at her, and stammered: "Niangniang, what should the slave do...... How is it good? ”

Meng Xilan took the wine jug and poured herself a glass of wine: "Since the emperor is drunk, my sister will serve the emperor well." My sister is so gentle and lovely, she must know how to serve the emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xue'er's eyes widened even more, looking at her in confusion, wondering whether she should be happy or uneasy?

"...... Can slaves really be? ”

Meng Xilan took a sip of the wine in the glass, tasted the taste, and then spit it out: "What, my sister won't be unwilling, right?" ”

"No, no, no, of course the slave is willing, the slave is simply unbelievable......"

Wu Xue'er was a little overjoyed and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Meng Xilan smiled at her meaningfully: "This is an opportunity given to my sister by this palace, my sister should take advantage of it." ”

Although Wu Xue'er was uneasy and couldn't guess her motives, her heart was so happy that it was about to jump out.

It's tonight, she has the opportunity to be favored by the emperor, and she has the opportunity to be on an equal footing with Song Huaiyu.

Zhou Youchen was already drunk and unconscious, and Wu Xue'er and the palace maids helped him to the side hall to rest. And Meng Xilan continued to eat unhurriedly.

Zhu Qing looked at the scene in front of her, twisted her eyebrows, and returned to her mother's side to cook vegetables for her.

"Niangniang, do you really not regret doing this?"

The emperor and Niangniang are both in love with each other, but now they want to let those scheming women get involved......

Meng Xilan tasted a bite of cabbage, then put down her chopsticks and said, "Why should this palace regret it?" The emperor is the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is right that the rain and dew are evenly stained. ”

Zhuqing sighed silently.

With her understanding of the master, the master will definitely regret it.

Meng Xilan suddenly lost her appetite, asked Zhu Qing to take down the food, and then instructed Zhu Lu to bring Changsheng over.

Changsheng was not yet asleep, and when he saw his mother, he smiled happily.

Meng Xilan hugged him and gently coaxed him in her arms, and only after a long groan did she say: "Changsheng, my mother originally wanted to spoil you and love you for the rest of my life." But for the sake of your future plans, my mother will have to change her mind in the future and be harsh with you. Changsheng, my darling, if you grow up, please don't resent your mother......"

Where could Changsheng understand her words, grabbed her hand, and smiled.

Meng Xilan hugged him and kissed him again and again, looking at the dark night outside the window, quietly distracted.

When the emperor wakes up tomorrow, everything in this palace will be different.
