Zhou Youlin shook his head coldly, and a few words popped out from between his teeth: "Impossible, unless she is crazy!" ”

Meng Xilan is ambitious, but her ambition is tied to him alone, and it has never changed for so many years. She won't give up herself for the sake of coveting wealth and glory in just a few years, she won't be so stupid!

Murong Qiao smiled faintly and pondered for a moment before saying, "What if she is crazy or not, she has no choice at all." ”

Meng Xilan is so smart, how could she not know the power of it and act willfully.

When Zhou Youlin left Zhaohua Palace, his face was gloomy as iron, and his steps were hurried, but he didn't know that in the corner, someone was monitoring his every move, preparing to go back to report to the emperor.

Zhou Shi seemed to know that Zhou Youlin had gone out of the palace violently, and his heart sank.

It seems that the rumors in the palace are not all groundless.

Zhou Shixian walked around the Heart Cultivation Hall with his hands behind his back.

To be honest, he didn't think so much about Meng Xilan. Moreover, she looks so similar to Changle that people mind. It's just that since the Queen Mother has a meaning, it doesn't hurt for him to accept it.

It's just that because of Zhou Youlin, Zhou Shixian has other thoughts in his heart.

He was suspicious of Zhou Youlin, so it happened that Meng Xilan came to try him. If he was really loyal to himself, he would not have turned his face against his father for a woman.

Three days later, Meng Xilan, who had no idea, returned to Cining Palace. The people waiting for her, in addition to Zhou Youning, are still Concubine Ning Murong Qiao.

Meng Xilan's cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, but fortunately, her eyes were bright and she looked very bright.

"My sister is finally back." Zhou Youning held her hand and said.

Murong Qiao also walked over: "Poor thing, why did you lose weight like this?" After speaking, he deliberately glared at Zhu Lu Zhuqing, "How do you all serve." ”

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing lowered their heads, only to hear her say again: "This palace has prepared some supplements for your master, and you can go back and collect them." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Thank you Niangniang for your concern." ”

Murong Qiao smiled back at her, his smile slightly melancholy.

Her people are already tired like this, can they still be stimulated?

Murong Qiao felt that it was not appropriate today, and it seemed that he couldn't mention it.

Meng Xilan went back to the palace to take a nap and soon fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes, there was one more person next to the bed. Meng Xilan's face was not surprised or frightened, she just sat up slowly and said, "You are too bold." It's okay to run around at night, but now it's not taboo even during the day. ”

Zhou Youchen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, they can't catch me." ”

For some reason, he wanted to see her, more than ever.

Meng Xilan's eyes flickered a little, and she sighed lightly: "What can you be obedient to." ”

If she is no longer in the palace in the future, he will still do his own thing, and he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause himself.

Zhou Youchen sat on the edge of her bed without any taboos: "I have always listened to you, just don't discipline me like a child." ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and looked directly at his dazzling eyebrows, only to feel that he had really grown up, and the lines of his cheeks began to become angular.

"yes, you've really grown up."

As soon as her words fell, Zhou Youchen silently stretched out his hand and covered her head affectionately with his palm, "Let's sleep for a while." ”

Meng Xilan didn't dodge his hand, but directly pulled his hand down, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not a child anymore, so I can't lie in bed." ”

Concubine Ning said that she was coming over today, so she had to prepare.

She was about to lift the thin quilt, but stopped halfway through and said, "Chen'er, you go out first, I'm going to wash." ”

Zhou Youchen got up and prepared to leave.

Zhu Lu came in from outside, and when he saw that he was going out from the door, he hurriedly stopped him, and said softly: "No, Concubine Ning is here." ”

If she sees the Ninth Master going out of the master's bedroom, something will happen.

Zhou Youchen silently took a step back and approached the window, unfortunately, someone happened to pass by outside the window.

Meng Xilan got out of bed and said, "Don't go out yet, stay here." With that, she walked behind the screen in the house, and then instructed Zhulu to change her clothes.

Zhou Youchen turned his back silently, holding his breath, he could hear the subtle sound of the clothes rubbing against each other, and he didn't feel that his heart was hot.

Meng Xilan changed her clothes, didn't have time to comb her hair, and was about to go out with a plain face.

Before leaving, she glanced at Zhou Youchen and motioned for him to remain silent.

Murong Qiao thought about it all night last night, but he felt that no matter how long things were delayed, he couldn't drag it out. She had to come, before Zhou Youlin did anything out of the ordinary, let Meng Xilan know the whole story.

"Say hello to the mother." Meng Xilan curtsied, very curious about her purpose.

If she wanted to show concern, she seemed to be a little too attentive.

"Look at you, what are you up for? Just go back and lie down. Murong Qiao looked at her with a distressed expression.

Meng Xilan naturally couldn't go back to the inner hall, so she only sat down: "I just drank a bowl of soup and medicine, and it is full of medicinal smells, so it's better to sit here." ”

Zhou Youchen's steps were very light, and he slowly walked to the corner of the room, paying attention to the movement outside.

Murong Qiao pondered and spoke: "Lan'er, this palace has something to tell you. ”

When Meng Xilan saw her serious expression, she knew that this matter must be not small.

"Yesterday, the emperor said to the palace that he wanted to keep you in the palace all the time." Murong Qiao said lightly.

Meng Xilan was puzzled: "Niangniang, haven't I been there all along?" I never asked to leave the palace. ”

"No, it's not like that, it's the emperor who has selfish intentions for you."

Selfishness...... Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, her eyes trembled slightly, and her heart felt as if something had been suddenly shattered, broken to pieces, all over the ground.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing couldn't help but be frightened and their legs went limp, and they sat straight on the ground.

Murong Qiao didn't care about their gaffes, just looked at Meng Xilan intently.

Her eyes darkened, the expression on her face was surprisingly calm, and she asked, "Why?" ”

Zhou Shixian has always ignored her, how could he easily become interested in her? There must be something wrong with this.

"The Queen Mother left a suicide note, which can be regarded as her last edict. She gave you the reward of Cining Palace and let you live in the palace forever. After the emperor saw it, he had a mind about you. Murong Qiao tried to simplify what happened, but he didn't want to be too straightforward.

"Suicide note?" Meng Xilan suddenly felt a little headache, she held her forehead, and said a little unseatedly: "Impossible." ”

She didn't expect the Queen Mother to leave a suicide note, and the content of the suicide note was still the same.

"This palace has seen the suicide note with my own eyes, and it is indeed the handwriting of the Queen Mother. She deliberately kept you, perhaps for your sake or for other purposes. Xilan, although this fact is difficult to accept, you must calm down. ”

Murong Qiao still has confidence in her, and she has always been cautious.

It all happened so suddenly, she had to slow down, slow down......

"I ......" Meng Xilan's eyes revealed bitterness, she stood up, shook slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, my body is a little unwell, so I'll leave first." ”

Zhulu and Zhuqing stood up from the ground, stepped forward to support her, and said with a crying voice: "Master, you watch your step. ”

Murong Qiao had never seen her like this, she was pale and weak, and her expression was in a trance, which made people unbearable.

"This palace will only say these words to you as a last resort. Yuran, please don't hold a grudge against Hongu. ”

Leaving these words, Murong Qiao left in a hurry, and his mood was also a mess.

Meng Xilan walked back to the bedroom, and her whole person seemed to be suspended in the air, at a loss.

What should I do? Worried, frightened, she staggered forward.

When she was about to faint, Zhou Youchen had already taken the first step to help her up. He could hear the conversation clearly, but could he fully understand what it meant?

Meng Xilan's limbs were weak, her whole body was weak, and the feeling of severe pain was constantly flowing in her body, like a piercing heart, and the pain made her breathless.

It was dark in front of me, and it seemed that I couldn't see anything clearly. So she reached out and hugged the dark shadow in front of her, opened her mouth, but couldn't spit out a word.

Zhou Youchen could feel that her whole body was trembling, and she unconsciously looked at Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing, only to see that they were both crying bitterly, looking sad.

Meng Xilan couldn't even cry, she just cried silently, big tears overflowed from her eyes, soaking Zhou Youchen's shoulders.

She was sad, sad, painful, blamed herself, regretted...... The complicated mood almost tore her heart apart, revealing bloody flesh and blood.

Zhou Youchen was a little stupid, he was most afraid of seeing her cry, every time she cried, he felt the same way, and his heart was like a knife.

I don't know how long it took, Meng Xilan finally recovered from her grief.

She cried until she had no strength, so she could only lean on Zhou Youchen weakly and muttered, "Zhulu, send someone to give the old lady a message and let her come to the palace." ”

Something so big happened that she couldn't handle it alone. Since Concubine Ning is willing to come as a lobbyist, she is obviously not ready to object. She needs to discuss countermeasures with her family, hoping that there will be a glimmer of opportunity.

Zhulu answered.

Meng Xilan slowed down again, and then sat up: "Chen'er, go back, I want to be alone." After saying that, she went to the bed and lay down, there are still many things to do, she has to take care of her spirits first, she can't panic, she definitely can't panic......

Zhou Youchen did not respond.

Suddenly, one arm wrapped around Meng Xilan from behind and hugged her shoulders tightly, with a force that could not be refused. Her body stiffened slightly, with a little weak resistance, and said in a hoarse voice: "You can't do this." ”

Zhou Youchen hugged her back tightly and said softly: "I'm not going anywhere, I want to accompany you." ”

No one wants to get rid of him! What house rules? What is the difference between men and women? He didn't care, he just wanted to stay with her.

"......" Meng Xilan closed her eyes groggily, trembled her shoulders, and sighed heavily.

Forget it, let him go. Anyway, she can't protect herself now.
