Meng Xilan's doubts fell on Zhou Shili's ears, making him realize in an instant that she didn't believe him at all.

Zhou Shili immediately smiled and said to Meng Xilan with a slight amazement: "If you don't believe me, just forget what I just said." ”

Meng Xilan listened and was just silent.

Zhou Shili arched his hand and said, "Farewell." ”

His steps were unhurried, Meng Xilan collected his mood, and finally said the two words he wanted to hear the most: "Wait." ”

Meng Xilan took a step forward and said lightly: "The prince and I are now looking up to others and taking care of ourselves. You support the prince, I support the fourth master, we shouldn't be people who stand on one side, but now we are standing together. I feel uneasy, and I hope the prince will understand. ”

Zhou Shili didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "As you said, we are all people who take one step and see three steps. But the fourth master and the ninth master, you can only choose one. ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water with ice ballast, pouring down from the top of Xiang Meng Xilan's head and covering her face, pouring her heart cold.

Zhou Youlin, Zhou Youchen...... They may not be enemies now, but sooner or later they will fight each other.

Zhou Shili turned his head to look at her, his eyes contained too much emotion, and he said lightly: "You are a smart person, do you know how to choose?" ”

He said this because he knew in his heart, what kind of woman was she? is willing to enter the palace to serve the queen mother, be someone else's shadow, and even, at the cost of her life to assist Zhou Youlin, what she wants is never a good time, a small day of spring and snow. She has ambitions, ambitions that want to devour everything, the same ambitions as him.

Meng Xilan suddenly walked in front of Zhou Shili, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Lord Wang, if you told me these heart-wrenching words today, then I dare to ask Lord Wang." If I don't choose either of them, I choose the prince, can the prince fulfill my wish? ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Zhou Shili's face immediately changed, and he became panicked and surprised.

Meng Xilan still remembers how she and Zhou Shili came together. He first tied her with the most affectionate words in the world, and then used the way to keep her in the way of rejection, those false vows, those pompous love words, when they came to his mouth, there was always an indescribable wonderful power that convinced her deeply.

thinks that the "bait" he threw out back then, and now she has returned all of them to him. Affection, trust, and ambition to covet the throne, she had to redo it in his own way.

Zhou Shili looked at Meng Xilan in a daze, and suddenly felt that this woman was a little scary. He'd been cautious, walking on thin ice, and had never revealed his ambitions to anyone, but why would she know?

Meng Xilan suddenly smiled: "With the prince's Cai talent and ability, he will definitely be able to achieve a lot." Now, are you willing to be a cow and a horse under the crown prince, just like Goujian, the king of Yue back then, just waiting for the right time to set things right? ”

Zhou Shili's heart jumped violently, and he reprimanded softly: "Don't talk nonsense, saying this is a capital crime to destroy the nine clans." ”

Meng Xilan didn't care, there were people close to her inside and outside the hall, and she wasn't afraid.

"Lord Wang, don't say this to me, just tell Xi Lan if I said anything wrong."

Seeing her so straightforward, Zhou Shili's eyes trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists to look at her: "I can't answer you." ”

He can't say yes, and he can't easily say no.

Meng Xilan deliberately stretched out her hand, covered his tight fist, gently broke his palm, and interlocked his fingers with one finger and said: "I have my heart for the prince, the prince knows it, you don't have to guard against me, and I don't have to guard against you." ”

The moment the two looked at each other, Zhou Shili was stunned, feeling that everything around him disappeared in an instant, and he was unconscious in a trance.

If he wants to be dead set on himself, Meng Xilan must show something. Even if it's pretending to be an infatuated woman, what's the matter?

Zhou Shili looked at the hands of the two of them with ten fingers interlocked, his eyes were deep, and he asked in a deep voice: "Fourth Master Junxiu, Second Lieutenant Chu is heroic, why did you choose me?" ”

He always had a suspicion in his heart, and he was unwilling to ask.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Jingchuan and I are brother and sister. I am a gift to the fourth master. There are thousands of good men in this world, but I am only for the prince, and I will never forget it. She never knew that she would say such sweet words, and her heart was filled with disgust, but she still didn't forget to add the most important sentence: "For some reason, I always have a feeling of sympathy for the prince, as if I feel that in this world, only I know you best, and you know me best." ”

The beautiful woman's witty words, such soft love words, made Zhou Shili's whole person messy, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows gradually faded, and then showed a slightly moved look.

Meng Xilan looked at him and smiled quietly, only to feel that her play today was really good.

Zhou Shili was really moved, and put her hand in the palm of his hand with both hands: "Tell me, what is your wish?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled lightly, and spit out a sentence like a smile: "I want to be your queen." ”

In her previous life, she didn't say this, but Zhou Shili whispered in her ear on the night they got married. Now that things are wrong, she is one step ahead of him and has laid the bait.

After a moment of stunnedness, Zhou Shili stopped talking, only dragged her into his arms and hugged her gently. He sighed in her ear: "Although I can't promise you anything now, don't worry, it won't be long before I will let you get your wish!" Strange to say, from the first time I saw you, I felt like I knew you, and it felt like I knew you in a previous life. ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she leaned into his arms and smiled coldly, and said quietly: "Really? Coincidentally, I feel that way too. ”

Every time she gets along with Zhou Shili, after Meng Xilan returns to the room, she has to bathe and change clothes as soon as possible. She thought he was dirty, and she soiled her clothes and her body.

After freshening up, Meng Xilan sorted out her thoughts, she called Zhou Youchen to her and said seriously: "Chen'er, now you have to keep in mind every word I say." ”

Zhou Youchen raised his eyes to look at her, looking slightly surprised, but he still nodded.

"The cause of your mother's death, don't go any further. Now that the Changqing Palace is gone, let's let the secrets hidden inside disappear together. ”

If the real murderer back then was indeed Concubine Ning Murong Qiao, the current Zhou Youchen was not her opponent at all.

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Youchen coldly pushed her hand away, her eyes darkened, and she was angry.

Meng Xilan pulled his shoulders again and continued: "Chen'er, revenge is not so simple, every step you take has to pay for everything, even your own life!" ”

"I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of death! Zhou Youchen suddenly roared.

Gao Fuli was startled outside, looked at Zhulu, and saw her shaking her head at herself.

Meng Xilan pressed his shoulders and tried to calm him down. "You're not afraid, I'm afraid. I'll be sad if you die. ”

Zhou Youchen bit his lip when he heard this, and lowered his head: "But my mother was killed by someone." How can I not avenge this sea of blood? ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and comforted him: "It's not that I didn't report it, but the time has not come." When you grow up and have the power in your hands, you can do whatever you want. ”

Jiao Changqing said that if he could live to the age of sixteen, it would already be very difficult. But even if it's only five or ten years, she hopes that he can spend it safely.

Zhou Youchen's eyes wandered, looking into her eyes, and he didn't speak for a while.

Meng Xilan gently pressed her forehead against his forehead and said softly: "When you grow up, let's clean up those wicked people, okay?" ”

Zhou Youchen looked at the face posted to him, he couldn't see her expression clearly, he could only see her deep and bright eyes, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

She never lied to him, never ......

Since then, Meng Xilan has two more secrets in her heart. The first is to secretly form an alliance with Zhou Shili, he will continue to assist the prince, and the Meng family will continue to support Zhou Youlin as always, just wait for the two tigers to fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman. The second secret is that she agreed with Zhou Youchen that when he reaches the age of sixteen and really grows into an adult, she will help him avenge his hatred.

If a person's heart is filled with too many things, it will become sensitive and worried, and Meng Xilan is no exception, she found that her heart seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

Zhou Shili will often come to her dreams as a guest, with a heartless smile and a vicious heart.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, Meng Xilan sat with her knees crossed, and Zhulu came with a candle lamp, and said softly: "Master, you have nightmares again?" ”

Meng Xilan hugged her body and shook her head; "That's not a nightmare."

Those are real memories, but they always replay them in her dreams, reminding her over and over again how dangerous and difficult her future path is!

Zhu Lu squatted down, looked at her half-bright and half-dark face, and said softly: "Master, you have been worrying about too many things recently. ”

Meng Xilan glanced at her and didn't speak, she had to work hard like this every day in the future. A moment of slackness may be fatal to her.

The night breeze was cool, blowing into the window, and gently blowing the wind chimes tied to the window.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes, only hoping that time could pass a little slower and slower. However, time is like flying sand, and a quick glance has slipped quietly through your fingers, and you can't catch it no matter how you grasp it......

Spring goes to spring, winter solstice and winter goes, the four seasons come and go repeatedly, and it is three years in a flash.

The warm spring breeze blew the flowers and plants in the palace, but the queen mother's body has not been good, and she coughed up blood yesterday.

Meng Xilan put away the bloody handkerchief, and no one let anyone see it, but quietly showed it to Jiao Changqing, and then asked if Niangniang's body had a chance to heal.

Jiao Changqing didn't shake his head or nod, but said, "The Queen Mother's cough is difficult to heal." In addition, she is old and should not take too much medication, so she can only slowly recuperate. ”

As soon as Meng Xilan heard the words "slowly conditioning", she knew that Niangniang had no hope.

In the past two years, the Queen Mother's health has deteriorated, and she is always sick for half of the year, and her memory is not as good as before.

When the Queen Mother was sick, Meng Xilan stayed behind her almost every day, personally fed her medicine and meals, and told some jokes to make her old man happy.

Whenever the Queen Mother was moved, she would always hold her hand and say, "Lan'er, will you accompany the mourning family like this for the rest of your life?" ”

Meng Xilan always smiled and nodded when she heard this: "As long as the queen mother likes it, Lan'er will always be by your side." ”

She no longer has to keep filial piety for the concubine, but she still hasn't left the palace, and she hasn't married to the Chu family as scheduled according to the marriage contract. Although there was no great reason, she and Chu Jingchuan both knew that she would not leave the palace easily.

Chu Jingchuan didn't complain about her for this matter, but said: "You just do what you want, I'll wait for you." ”

After waiting for another three years, even Meng Xilan felt that she was really cruel.
