Meng Xilan's tone of voice when she said this was like saying another casual joke.

Her eyes were always locked on Wu Huaxuan's body, and her expression was not angry or angry, but it made people feel even more nervous.

Wu Huaxuan was frightened, only to feel that her heart was twitching, she opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know how to explain herself.

"Niangniang...... Xie Zhenzhen gathered her thoughts, stood up and said: "Sister Hua Concubine, she is young and ignorant, Xu is confused for a while......"

At first glance, as soon as she spoke, I thought she was going to intercede for Wu Huaxuan. Who knows, in the middle of the words, she suddenly shook her head, and said helplessly: "Concubine Hua, how can you do such a bad thing...... It's a shame that this palace treats you sincerely, but you live up to the queen mother and the palace so much! ”

Xie Zhenzhen said as she walked towards Wu Huaxuan, and impulsively, she raised her hand and slapped her.

Her slap was not light, and her voice was very muffled, indicating that it hurt a lot.

Wu Huaxuan turned his head over, and his cheeks hurt hotly.

Xie Zhenzhen glared at her, and then turned away pretending to be sad.

Meng Xilan saw it in her eyes and was troubled in her heart. That's the last thing she wants. The harem concubines competed for favor and oppressed each other because of their ill intentions.

Xie Zhenzhen's slap continued, and the purity of the harem was gone.

Zhou Yan'er watched coldly from the side, looking at Wu Huaxuan, who was silent with tears, and felt happy in her heart.

Let her not know what to do, and take the initiative to make meat on other people's boards! She thought that if she was clever behind her back, she would be able to hide it from others! It's ridiculous!

Unlike Zhou Yan'er, Sun Yuyun kept her head down timidly, she didn't dare to look at Wu Huaxuan, nor did she dare to look at Xie Zhenzhen opposite, let alone the Queen Mother.

Wu Huaxuan received the slap from the queen mother, and instantly softened her body, she leaned down crying, slammed her head on the ground, and pleaded guilty to the queen mother: "Niangniang, the concubine just did such a stupid thing for a while, stupid thing...... The concubine didn't mean to go against the queen's will...... The concubine just wants to give birth to a child for the emperor, whether it is the prince or the princess, the concubine is sincere, and there is no malice! ”

At this point, there is nothing more useful than honestly admitting mistakes.

Wu Huaxuan bowed his head and admitted his mistake, crying profusely.

Xie Zhenzhen clutched her chest, sat aside, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and looked as if she was crying. In fact, the corner of her eyes kept looking at Wu Huaxuan.

This slut actually dares to give birth to a prince?!

Meng Xilan listened quietly and watched quietly, only to frown unhappily before half-ringing.

"This harem woman, who doesn't want to have children for the emperor? But from the first day you entered the palace, the palace said that the emperor had just ascended the throne and only needed the hearts of the people. Although the prince is precious, the one who can inherit the unification can only be the prince after all! ”

Meng Xilan said and looked at Xie Zhenzhen, who was pretending to cry beside her. "How many times has this palace told you? Before the queen is pregnant, you all have to drink the medicine of the child...... Queen, as the master of the middle palace, can't you even manage such a trivial matter? ”

Xie Zhenzhen was looking at Wu Huaxuan, and when she saw the Queen Mother suddenly speaking to herself, she was secretly startled, and hurriedly put down the veil covering her face, sat down in a proper manner, and said: "Queen Mother, I never expected the concubine!" The palace has always kept the teachings of the queen mother in mind, thinking that the harmony of the six palaces will be evenly wetted with rain and dew, so it specially gave Hua Concubine's sister the opportunity to sleep! Behold...... She actually failed this palace ......"

As she spoke, she hated to go over and slap Wu Huaxuan again.

"Queen, do you know how this palace learned about Concubine Hua?"

Meng Xilan's sudden words were asked to everyone's hearts.

Wu Huaxuan raised his eyes with tears, thinking about the little palace maid who knelt a few steps away from him.

Someone must have snitched and wanted to ask for benefits in front of the Queen Mother!

"Mother, how do you know?"

Meng Xilan looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Although this palace maid is from Hua Concubine, in the final analysis, she is still from the palace. As long as they are people in the palace, they are all in the hands of the palace! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

Xie Zhenzhen opened her mouth slightly, at a loss, while Zhou Yan'er put away her cold eyebrows and cold eyes, as for Sun Yuyun, she only lowered her head.

"This palace has never liked complicated things, and the people in your palaces, including those who serve you, are also people from this palace."

Meng Xilan said frightening words in an understated tone.

Meng Xilan sighed softly: "This palace doesn't want to scare you. But since such a thing has happened today, this palace will leave you with a word of truth. Your every move, although not in front of the eyes of this palace, is in the heart of this palace. It is clear at a glance who has done well and who has done wrong, so with what happened today, this palace just reminds you. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Xilan paused slightly, then held Baozhu's hand and stood up.

The face with a good face was actually cold.

"From now on, you must be careful with your words and deeds, both before and after others. This palace can assist the emperor to this day, with these eyes! Be careful, and the palace will be at ease. ”

She knew they were all ambitious and scheming. But if you want to climb all the way up, you can't just have your heart and eye calculations, and you have to know which is more important.

If they want to compete for favor, they can use their brains.

"Something like today, this palace hopes to be the last time I see it."

Meng Xilan walked in front of Wu Huaxuan, looked at her body trembling and said, "You have also learned a lesson today, and this palace will no longer punish you." After all, Hongu still likes you very much. From now on, you'll be able to do it yourself......"

Xie Zhenzhen unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and Zhou Yan'er's face turned slightly pale.

The meaning of the Queen Mother's words is that there are her eyeliner everywhere in the palace...... Or are they all surrounded by people from Cining Palace?

Wu Huaxuan trembled and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking the Queen Mother for forgiveness.

Meng Xilan immediately waved her hand: "Okay, this palace is tired, you all go back." ”

What they said just now was enough to make them honest for a while.

The four of them got up slowly, all lowered their heads and eyes, and left quietly.

As soon as Wu Huaxuan walked out of the gate of Cining Palace, he couldn't help but choke up. The grievances and humiliations in her heart are indescribably uncomfortable.

Zhou Yan'er and Sun Yuyun followed closely behind, and when they saw her sitting on the sedan chair covering her face and crying, there was no longer a gloating and lively expression on her face.

The Queen Mother's words put them all in danger.

Xie Zhenzhen also had heavy footsteps and hurried back to Kunning Palace.

After the four of them left, the Cining Palace suddenly became clean.

Baozhu changed the tea for the Queen Mother, and she was very thoughtful to change the lotus seed Qingxin tea for her.

Meng Xilan lifted the tea lid and looked at it, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"This is what you prepared for Hongu?"

Baozhu replied lightly: "Niangniang has worried a lot about the affairs of the harem. ”

Meng Xilan hooked the corners of her mouth slightly: "What is this little thing for this palace?" ”

Speaking of which, Wu Huaxuan's matter is not big, but it is not small.

She just took the opportunity of today to remind them. Don't be clever, don't be tricky, that will only bring humiliation on yourself.

Meng Xilan took a sip of Qingxin tea, and then asked Baozhu: "Replace all the palace maids around Concubine Hua." Change something new, more obedient. ”

"Yes, sissy." The orb retreated.

Meng Xilan was slightly distracted for a while, then got up and went to Huaqing Palace to visit Zhou Youchen.

She had been coming here almost every day lately to see him, combing his hair, and talking to him.

He was still unconscious, sitting quietly.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, and you must be starting to feel bad. In a few days, let's go out of the palace together. ”

He didn't react, but Meng Xilan had more desire to talk to him.

"It's going to be hot this summer."

After a while, someone outside the hall reported: "Niangniang, Gonggong Gao sent someone to send a message." ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, her originally empty gaze instantly found her focus again.

Gao Fuli has been collecting information outside the palace recently, and it seems that he must have gained something.

Meng Xilan gently pressed Zhou Youchen's shoulders with both hands, and said softly: "Chen'er, I'll go back today, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

Zhou Youchen gave her an answer, only a silent back. Meng Xilan smiled slightly, the quieter he was, the more relieved she was.

The first task assigned by Meng Xilan to Gao Fuli was to ask him to find Zhou Youping's whereabouts.

The last time I heard from him, it was more than two years before I got married.

Gao Welfare was still outside the palace, so the news was passed back in the form of a flying pigeon secret letter. This is the safest way and the fastest way.

Baozhu himself untied the letter and presented the note inside.

Meng Xilan opened it and took a look, but found that there were only two lines of words on it: "The slave was derelict in his duties, and after searching for a long time, he found that Zhou Youping had died of illness in Huaizhou in March last year!" ”

Meng Xilan's hands trembled slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked displeased.

Zhou Youping is dead...... It must have been difficult to be demoted to a common person, but when she heard that he died, Meng Xilan was still surprised.

Baozhu saw that Niangniang's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, but what happened?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly, held the note in her hand, and muttered for a moment before saying, "Prepare pen and ink for the palace." ”

This flying pigeon can still send a letter back, and she will personally give instructions to Gao Welfare.

Laying paper and dipping ink, Meng Xilan put down the pen and wrote eight words: "If you live to see people, you want to see corpses when you die!" ”

Although high welfare is meticulous, no matter how meticulous people are, they will inevitably have carelessness. Zhou Youping has long been a non-threatening person, but for Meng Xilan, he will always be His Royal Highness the former prince and former prince. This Beiyan's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of rivers, used to be almost his.
