Chu Jingchuan was on the edge of the cliff, crumbling, and it was a matter of time before he fell.

Meng Xilan didn't expect him to live, but his family was too innocent. She didn't care about the old love between them, but for Jingwen.

Chu Jingchuan's relatives are also Jingwen's relatives, and one more can live.

Rong's silence and An Sheng's hostility, Meng Xilan saw them all.

She sighed softly and said, "It's not easy for you to come to see this palace. Hearing her speak, Rong's shoulders shrank unconsciously, she opened her mouth, and her tone trembled: "Niangniang, please let Sheng Er go, he doesn't know what his father did...... He was still a child. ”

When she said this, Chu Ansheng had been looking at Meng Xilan without hesitation. No, to be precise, he was scrutinizing her, examining her.

Meng Xilan glanced at him, then at the Rong family, and said lightly: "There are very few things that this palace can do now. You and I both know how bad things can be. ”

Rong tried his best to hold back his sobs, kowtowing to her again and again, begging bitterly.

Seeing this, Chu Ansheng's whole person became excited, and he shook his head vigorously and said, "Mother, you don't ask her, don't ask her!" ”

Watching his mother kneel on the ground and beg for help, this is the most heart-wrenching thing for him. And this woman in front of her is the woman who harmed their whole family!

Hearing this, Rong turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

Now is not the time to talk nonsense, now as long as she can, she will save his life, even if she is asked to be a slave and a slave to Meng Xilan, she doesn't care. Being alive is the most important thing.

Meng Xilan's tone also softened.

She looked at the Rong family with fixed eyes: "This palace has the heart to save the Chu family from fire and water, but this palace needs your help." ”

Rong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what he meant.

With her current situation, what else can she do except kowtow and beg for mercy obediently?

Meng Xilan made a "come here" gesture to Rong's family, Rong's eyes widened with tears, and he knelt in front of her, regardless of his identity or dignity, he pulled her sleeve and looked at her with a pleading face: "Niangniang, no matter what you ask me to do, I am willing, begging Niangniang to keep Sheng'er ......"

Her ten fingers were too hard, causing Meng Xilan to frown slightly.

Gao Fuli was beside her, and she saw it really, raised the dust in her hand, hit the back of Rong's hand, and reminded her: "Mrs. Chu, don't be rude." ”

Rong hurriedly withdrew his hand and placed it in front of him in an orderly manner.

When Chu Ansheng saw this scene, he hated Meng Xilan even more in his heart. In his opinion, this woman would not save them at all, she was just playing with them.

"You are willing to come this far, this palace knows that it is not easy. However, if Chu Jingchuan refuses to surrender and plead guilty, all this is meaningless. ”

The raging anger in Zhou Youchen's heart, if it can't be calmed down, the Chu family will all die, regardless of men, women and children.

Rong's eyes flashed, and he shook his head again and again: "I don't know what to do, and I ask Niangniang to make it clear." ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "You'd better go back and do your best to persuade Chu Jingchuan to make him surrender and confess his guilt as soon as possible." As for Sheng'er's ......," she lengthened her tone a little and continued, "Sheng'er will stay by the side of the palace first. ”

Rong was stunned again when he heard this, and looked back at his son. I don't know what Meng Xilan's idea is? Leave Sheng'er behind and stay in the palace? How is this possible?

Chu Ansheng immediately stood up and said, "I want to be with my mother." ”

Gao Fuli raised his eyebrows and glared at him when he heard this, only to feel that this kid was too reckless.

Meng Xilan glanced at Chu Ansheng and said, "Right now, it's safest for you to stay by your side in this palace." ”

Rong bit his lower lip and hesitated for a moment before he said to his son: "Okay, Sheng'er, you stay, listen to the queen's words." ”

Chu Ansheng still shook his head, the expression on his face was painful and complicated, and it seemed that tears were about to flow from his eyes: "Mother, my son wants to go back with you." Son, don't be alone, and live ...... secretly"

Rong listened to his words, and her whole body trembled with anger, and she stood up suddenly, staggered to her son, raised her hand and slapped him hard.

Chu Ansheng has never been beaten since he was a child, whether it is his father or mother, no one has touched a finger of him, and today is the first time.

The stubborn and angry look on the young man's face did not disappear because of this slap.

Rong walked over, grabbed his shoulder, shook him vigorously, and said, "Sheng'er, don't be as impulsive as your father. You're going to live, you know? No matter how difficult it is, you have to live. ”

Chu Ansheng listened to his mother's words and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He stood still, lowered his head, and stared at his feet for a long time, until his vision became blurry.

Meng Xilan looked at the Rong family, and the Rong family also looked back at her.

"Mother, let me say one more thing that shouldn't be said. In fact, there is only one person who can really convince Chu Jingchuan, and that is you. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes sank when she heard this, and she just shook her head: "It's better that this palace and him don't see each other." ”

After the emperor came back, although he didn't ask her what had happened these days, he must have known.

There is a tacit understanding between them, that is, the tacit understanding of Chu Jingchuan without mentioning a word.

Today, if it weren't for Rong's confession and surrender with her child, she would never have come forward.

The Rong family knew that she wanted to break off the relationship with Chu Jingchuan, but in the few months when the capital was lost, what was the relationship between them, everyone in and outside the palace knew it.

Rong Shi had a cold heart, and slowly said his true words to Meng Xilan.

"Niangniang, it was Chu Jingchuan's fault for committing such a serious crime. I am his wife, and it is my duty to live and die with him. As long as Sheng Er is okay, I don't care......"

When she said this, she had a look on her face that looked like she was at home.

Meng Xilan listened to her sigh as if she was resigned to her fate, and also told her the truth: "This palace should not care about anything, but for the Chu family, this palace is ashamed." So don't worry, this palace won't let the Chu family die. ”

Hearing this, Rong Shi looked at her and nodded slightly.

"With the words of Niangniang, I am at ease."

Rong then knelt on the ground and saluted, and then prepared to leave.

Chu Ansheng looked at his mother's resolute back, and couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Mother......"

Rong didn't look back at him, just silently bowed his head.

This situation is indeed sad.

Meng Xilan suddenly said, "Wait......"

Rong paused, then turned to look at her, his eyes full of unease. She was afraid that she would suddenly regret it and change her mind.

Who knows, Meng Xilan gently spit out three words: "I'm sorry ......"

Rong was shocked and looked at her in amazement.

Not to mention the Rong family, everyone present was surprised. Especially the high welfare and treasure beads, their faces changed all of a sudden.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes and said, "This is what this palace owes you." Because of me, you have suffered a lot! ”

That's true.

She is the wife that Chu Jingchuan is marrying, and she is the closest person to him, however, from the moment she walked into Chu Jingchuan's life, she has always lived in her shadow.

Rong was stunned at first, and then laughed abruptly.

I'm sorry...... She hated her all her life in her heart, and once wanted to be like a shrew, grabbing her hair, slapping her in the face, and venting her anger and grievances more than once.

Suffer? These two words are inevitably too lightweight. Meng Xilan is a woman, she almost ruined her life. Chu Jingchuan, she has admired the man of her life, but he has never had her in his heart...... Thinking about it carefully, after so many years, he never seemed to smile at her, and Ansheng never had it when he was born. He married her just to cope with his elders. In the first year after getting married, he barely looked at her with a straight eye. Sometimes, she felt that Chu Jingchuan's gaze at her was like looking at another person through her.

The feeling of indifference was enough to break her heart.

Today, Meng Xilan's "I'm sorry" made her cry and laugh even more.

She laughed because it came too late. She cried because she felt deep sorrow for her life.

After all, she can only be a light shadow in Chu Jingchuan's heart in this life, insignificant when she is alive, and even more painless when she dies.

Chu Ansheng watched his mother wipe away tears, clenched his fists, and couldn't wait to rush over immediately, walk with her, and leave with her.

Meng Xilan looked at him quietly, only to feel that his eyebrows and eyes were seventy percent similar to his father.

He is very much like Chu Jingchuan, like him when he was young.

"Ansheng, come here." Meng Xilan called him by name, not minding, his heart was full of hostility towards her.

He must hate her, just as much as his mother.

Chu Ansheng just stood still when he heard this.

Gao Fuli took the initiative to step forward: "Niangniang is talking to you." ”

Chu Ansheng looked at Gao Fuli and glared at him fiercely.

Gao Fu didn't mind, just shook his head slightly.

In the end, he is as his name suggests, young and vigorous, he doesn't know the danger in front of him, the crisis behind him, and he only cares about the present.

Meng Xilan said patiently: "Sheng'er, come here in the palace." ”

The anger in Chu Ansheng's heart weighed on him like a thousand boulders, making it difficult for him to move an inch.

He didn't want to go over, and he would rather die than die, although he didn't know what "death" was like. But he thought that he was the son of his father, and he would not be afraid of death!

Meng Xilan said it a third time, Gao Fuli couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and dragged him all the way to the master, and reminded him softly: "As a child of the family, you can't forget the rules at any time. ”

Chu Ansheng just stood stiffly and didn't look at Meng Xilan, his lips moved slightly, as if he was talking.

His words are so soft that they are not inaudible.

Meng Xilan noticed this, so she said to him: "A man must speak with strength, but he is only promised, and it is really not the same. Since you want to say it, then say it loudly, loudly. ”

Chu Ansheng took a deep breath when he heard this, holding back a lot of strength in his heart, and finally said two words in a muffled voice, the last thing he should have mentioned: "Demon Queen!" ”
