Chapter 288: Untitled
Chu Jingchuan looked at her with a shocked face when he heard this. "Jingwen, do you know what you're doing?"
Chu Jingwen nodded: "Of course...... Brother, I'm calculating Xilan. Twenty years of friendship, I will bet on the friendship between us for twenty years! ”
When she said this, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and a wry smile appeared in it.
She didn't want to get to this point, but she had no other way. Because of Zhou Youping, she is destined to have no chance to turn over in her life. And worry-free following a biological mother like her will definitely not be able to win back the identity and glory of the royal family.
Chu Jingwen thought about it again and again, she only had to "use" Meng Xilan, she only had her.
Chu Jingchuan propped up the table and sat down slowly, not knowing what to say for a while.
His palms tightened slowly, clenched into fists, and slammed into the table again and again. "How did you get out of that damn place? Have you forgotten everything? That's a place where you can't eat people and don't spit out bones, and you actually want to send it back without worry! You're crazy, crazy! ”
If Meng Xilan and her sister had never entered the palace back then, then they should be a happy family at this moment, rather than falling into such an intimately ending as now.
Chu Jingwen covered her chest, bit her lip and said, "Brother, how can there be anything in this world that is obtained for nothing." I'm good, Xilan is good, we're all people who can't control our own fate. I don't want to let worry-free grow up like me...... Marry someone you don't want to marry, fall into a disaster you don't want to fall into, and then sacrifice your life in a daze! Wuwu is only four years old, she can't be affected by Zhou Youping for a lifetime, I want her to be spoiled, loved, respected, and cherished! ”
Chu Jingchuan's face darkened slightly, "It's just your wishful thinking. Meng Xilan may not agree......"
Before, she couldn't wait to draw a line with the Chu family, but now, it is a sensitive period, the emperor is out on an expedition, inside and outside the palace, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her.
Chu Jingwen chuckled when she heard this: "Brother, you really don't know Xilan too much. If this was my last wish, she would have said yes. ”
Wishes! Chu Jingchuan's clenched fists trembled slightly.
Yes, if she begged for death, even if she was a hard-hearted person, she couldn't help but be soft-hearted.
Xu Yes, because he said too many words, Chu Jingwen's chest hurt again.
She lay down with her chest clutched, gasping and said, "Brother, even if it's for the sake of worry, please leave my business alone." My days are really numbered, please......"
At this moment, she was already starting to feel that it was difficult to breathe.
Chu Jingchuan's heart sank when he heard this, he looked up at her and said nothing.
What a strange fate! Creation always makes people! When he was about to completely forget about Meng Xilan, she was once again involved with the Chu family...... And his only sister, who is about to leave her life, actually hides such a big plan in her heart.
Perhaps, she had been planning all this since she learned she was sick...... This is her ambition, an ambition that no one can stop, just like Meng Xilan back then, who was fearless and unflinching.
Song Liniang stood outside the courtyard, blowing the cold wind alone.
She didn't listen to Chu Jingchuan's words and went back obediently, but stood here waiting for him.
When Chu Jingchuan walked out with a heavy face, he saw Song Liniang standing there, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you go back?" ”
"Because I want to go back with adults."
They rarely have the opportunity to be alone, Chu Jingchuan has to go to the military camp every day to practice, and when he comes back, he has to go to greet the elders.
Song Liniang really wanted to stay with him for a while, even if it was just to walk with him.
Chu Jingchuan looked at her and said, "It's windy here, you should go back to the house early." ”
"What about my lord?"
"I'm going to the barracks to get some troops and I'll be back in the evening."
The disappointment on Song Liniang's face flashed when she heard this, and she spoke again: "Then I'll send the adults out." ”
Chu Jingchuan was slightly impatient: "No need, I want to walk alone." ”
"Is there something bothering you?" Song Liniang still insisted: "It's better to talk to the concubine, the concubine is willing to share the worries of the uncle......"
"What you said today is really a lot." Chu Jingchuan turned his back on his hands and turned his head in displeasure.
Song Liniang laughed when she heard this: "The concubine knows." She was bold, stepped forward, and grabbed Chu Jingchuan's arm.
Chu Jingchuan frowned and pushed her hand away: "The people are watching, it's not like this." ”
Song Liniang slowly put down her hand and said, "What does it matter if we are husband and wife?" ”
Chu Jingchuan frowned when he heard this, looked at her silent appearance, and reached out to pat her shoulder: "I'll go out first." ”
Song Liniang nodded meekly.
They had only just been married, and she didn't want him to think of him as an eventful and disobedient woman.
He has someone else in his heart! But so what, Meng Xilan is the emperor's woman, and he has no choice but to forget her.
…
Worry-free lived in the palace a year ago. Xu is immature memories are still there, and she is not unfamiliar with the emptiness and desertion of the inner courtyard of the palace.
Meng Xilan still remembered that when she first entered the palace, she was so sensitive that she felt slightly pungent when she even felt the smell of the palace wall.
Wuwu looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling on both sides and waiting, and only asked softly: "Won't they be cold?" It's so cold on the ground. ”
Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this: "Naturally, it's cold. But rules are rules, and these are the rules in the palace. ”
After entering Cining Palace, she suddenly recognized her life a little, and murmured, "What about my mother?" Mother's ......"
Meng Xilan gently patted her on the back and coaxed her, "You can see the carp in a while." ”
The fish in the Thousand Carp Pond are carefully cared for all year round, but there are not many people in the palace who like to enjoy fish.
Meng Xilan came to the pool with no worries, accompanied her to enjoy the fish and feed the fish, and had a great time.
Worry-free was a little tired from playing, so Xiao Chunzi squatted down and said, "Little master, let the slave carry you." ”
Carefree opened her little hand and let Haruko carry her steadily.
Seeing this, Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "It's windy today, let's watch it for a while and go back." ”
Zhu Lu looked at the happy smile on her master's face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
It's been a long time since the master has been so happy.
After playing for a while, Worry-free was tired, and Meng Xilan also felt tired.
When it was time for dinner, Wuwu suddenly began to feel homesick, and kept asking Meng Xilan when he would be able to go home?
Meng Xilan took the soup bowl in Zhu Lu's hand, and the imperial dining room made beef wontons, cooked in broth, and smelled very fragrant.
I didn't eat without worry, I just looked around, and said with a small mouth: "I want my mother, I want my mother." ”
Meng Xilan looked distressed, so she had to put down the soup bowl, directly hugged Wuwu in her arms, and said softly: "You can see your mother tomorrow morning, good boy, don't be afraid of ......"
The little ones are always the most clingy before they go to bed.
Worry-free is usually coaxed to sleep by her mother, but now with Meng Xilan, she refuses to fall asleep and keeps crying.
She cried for a full hour before she fell into a deep sleep.
Meng Xilan looked at her red eyes and shook her head helplessly: "Tomorrow morning, how can I explain to Jingwen?" ”
Zhulu comforted her and said, "Niangniang, you don't have to embarrass yourself. This is Miss Jingwen, what she meant, is that she insists on you to bring worry-free into the palace. ”
Of course, she has her purpose.
Meng Xilan gently stroked her carefree little face and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Niangniang, do you really plan to keep worry-free by your side?"
Meng Xilan's eyebrows moved slightly: "If this is what Jingwen wants, I will." ”
Zhu Lu was shocked when she heard this: "Niangniang, this matter is not trivial!" Think twice. ”
No matter how cute she is, she is also Zhou Youping's daughter after all. When she grows up and knows what happened back then, what will she think? How will Meng Xilan be treated?
Meng Xilan said quietly: "If Jingwen entrusts her to me, I will definitely agree." This is what I owe to the Chu family. ”
When she divorced, she deeply hurt Chu Jingchuan, and when she took the heir, she didn't take Chu Jingwen's safety into account, but just wanted to knock down the prince.
Her debts to the Chu family are irreparable. If she could do something for them, she wouldn't shirk it.
Early the next morning, Meng Xilan received Zhou Youchen's flying pigeon biography again.
A few words were enough to reassure her.
Meng Xilan hugged the crying worry-free, went all the way back to Chu's house, handed her back to Chu Jingwen, and said quietly: "Look at the child's crying red eyes, she can't leave you at all." ”
Chu Jingwen hugged her daughter tightly with red eyes, and only gave Meng Xilan a grateful look.
"This is the first time she has left my side, it's good to get used to it slowly in the future, Xilan thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Meng Xilan said helplessly.
"Because it's you, even if I'm no longer by my side, I won't feel uneasy. So, I want to thank you. ”
After saying this, Chu Jingwen handed over Wuwu to the maid and asked them to take her to the yard for a walk.
Meng Xilan hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I hope you can be more defensive against me, Jingwen, I am not the good person you imagined, I will also make mistakes, and I will also hurt others." ”
Chu Jingwen nodded with a clear expression: "I know that we experienced the bloody storm in the palace back then. I can see your difficulties, your cunning, clearly. It is because I know that I dare to give you no worries. Yuran, I know what kind of person you are......"
Those open and secret battles, those conspiracies, even if she didn't know about it, she could guess a few points.
"Xilan, we are not the simple-minded girls we were back then. We all have our own ambitions, and we all have our own people we want to protect. Unfortunately, I'm out of luck, so you can help me. ”
Meng Xilan's expression was slightly suffocated when she heard this, she bit her lip, and then made up her mind, and said heavily: "Okay, if you have to insist, I will do it." Back then, no matter what the purpose, I calculated the prince behind my back, which is equivalent to hurting you and making you suffer from it. If you don't have to worry about leaving it to me, then I'll let you get it. I will spoil her, love her, treat her as my own, and take care of her. ”
