Zhou Youchen still lowered his eyes, his gaze was firmly fixed on Meng Xilan's lower abdomen, his eyes flickered slightly, flickering brightly and darkly.

Sure enough, it's true.

His children, their children...... Zhou Youchen's heart was touched, should he be happy or sad? Even he doesn't know what to do.

Seeing his uncertain expression, Meng Xilan frowned, and asked softly, "Is the emperor unhappy?" ”

At this moment, she could not see the slightest joy on his face.

Zhou Youchen's palm was slightly forced, he touched her lower abdomen, the look in his eyes turned a few times, and finally pursed his lips tightly, deliberately turning his face away: "This child can't stay!" ”

This sentence, said by him himself, was like a sharp knife cutting his heart, and the pain was suffocating.

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and immediately let go of Zhou Youchen's hand, and subconsciously retreated: "Impossible, I won't give up this child." ”

She thought that he would be different from Jiao Changqing, she thought he would be happy.

Zhou Youchen took the initiative to walk towards her, but Meng Xilan deliberately kept a distance from him, protecting her stomach with her hands, her eyes full of vigilance.

At that moment, Zhou Youchen's mood was both helpless and sour.

"Lan'er, we can't keep this kid, I can't lose you, absolutely not!"

If he didn't have her, what was the point of his life?

Meng Xilan shook her head at Zhou Youchen with a disappointed expression: "You asked me to give up my child?" I can't. There are no absolutes in this world, things are man-made...... No one can stop me. ”

She had said that even if she would die early tomorrow morning, she would do her best to keep the child safe for the night.

Zhou Youchen's heart was like a knife when he heard this, his fingers clenched into fists, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lan'er, don't force me, I don't want you to have anything to do!" ”

Meng Xilan's eyes were sad, and she said to him word by word: "Your Majesty, don't force me, don't let me hate you!" ”

"You keep saying you care about me, but you don't care about the child in my belly at all, he's the most important thing, isn't it?"

Meng Xilan couldn't suppress her emotions a little, her body shook slightly, and she was a little unsteady under her feet.

Zhulu Zhuqing hurriedly stepped forward with red eyes and helped: "Niangniang beware of your body!" ”

Zhou Youchen also looked distressed, and immediately stretched out his hand, Meng Xilan turned his head no longer to look at him, and took a deep breath before saying, "The emperor doesn't need to persuade me, I won't listen anymore." I'm tired, the emperor should please go back today. ”

It is pointless to continue such a stalemate. She will not change her mind, nor will she follow anyone's advice.

"No, I'm not going back." Zhou Youchen walked straight in front of Meng Xilan and ordered Zhulu and Zhuqing to all retreat.

There's no way he's just leaving!

Zhulu Zhuqing retreated step by step, his heart full of worry.

Meng Xilan watched Zhou Youchen get closer and closer, her shoulders trembled slightly, her eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, she looked at him and said, "What else does the emperor want?" ”

"You ......" Zhou Youchen couldn't help but say angrily when he saw her resisting him so much: "What do you think I want to do?" Do you think I'm going to use force on you? ”

Is it too late for him to protect her now?

Meng Xilan's eyes froze when she heard this, and she shook her head sadly and said, "I don't know." ”

Her tone was sad, and her tears could not stop flowing.

Zhou Youchen saw her crying, he instantly lost his claim, and had to surrender, he gently held her face, wiped away the crystal of tears for her, and sighed: "It's my mistake!" I shouldn't have upset you! I shouldn't have ......"

Meng Xilan wanted to endure it all the time, but after listening to his words, those long-standing sourness instantly surged into her heart, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Her uncontrollable cries and tears made Zhou Youchen lose his square inch in an instant.

He was most afraid of seeing her cry, especially when she cried so sadly, enough to break anyone's heart with him.

Zhou Youchen hugged her body tightly with his arms, her body actually sobbed and trembled, he hurriedly stroked her back gently with his palm, and said softly with his lips against her ears: "I'm sorry." ”

She never easily shows people's grievances and helplessness, sadness and happiness, and at this time she was all exposed in front of Zhou Youchen, like a burst of embankment and collapse, out of control.

Zhou Youchen stood in place and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word of comfort. How was he going to comfort her, and how was he going to comfort himself?

Zhou Youchen simply let her vent and cry, and he just kissed her sideburns silently.

Meng Xilan's hands grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly, wanting to cry loudly, but she was afraid of startling the child in her womb.

It was destined to be a long day.

In the evening, a drizzle suddenly began to fall outside. The sound of the rain is shallow, which makes people feel calm.

Meng Xilan still hadn't completely broken free from her sadness, she leaned on Zhou Youchen's arms, crying until she was exhausted, and her body was also soft. Zhou Youchen hugged her, only to feel as if he was holding a ball of cotton.

He took her cool hand and said, "Don't cry, I'll help you go to bed and lie down for a while." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "No, let's just sit quietly for a while." ”

She really didn't have the strength to move, and she didn't want to. His chest was warm, it could warm her body, it could warm her heart. "Okay, then I'll sit with you for a while." He stroked her hair, and there was tender pity in his eyes.

Meng Xilan's eyes were red, she looked at the rain that was constantly dripping under the eaves, and muttered, "Your Majesty, are you really not happy at all?" ”

Zhou Youchen turned the white jade wrench on his thumb, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "How can I not be happy?" I just don't know whether to rejoice or not. ”

To him, this child is more precious than anything else in the world, and it is hard to come by.

Meng Xilan's heart moved when she heard this, and she raised her eyes to look at his face: "Then the emperor smiled, okay?" ”

Zhou Youchen also looked down at her, a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and then a kiss fell between her eyebrows.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes and said, "This child is a gift from God, the best gift. Nothing is free in this world, and if I want this child, I have to fight for it with all my life, and that's fair, isn't it? ”

"Is it fair? I don't think it's fair at all, it's cruel. Zhou Youchen said in an accentuated tone.

If you have to exchange one life for another, then those who stay will also suffer.

"Your Majesty, help me and our children." Meng Xilan grabbed his finger and pleaded, "Even if there is little hope, it is better than admitting defeat now!" I'm not going to throw in the towel. ”

Zhou Youchen's eyebrows were affectionately gentle, and then nodded gently.

Seeing him nodding, Meng Xilan finally showed her face and smiled comfortably at him.

Zhou Youchen said softly: "Let me touch it again." ”

Meng Xilan grabbed his hand, put it on his lower abdomen, and said to him: "Isn't it amazing, obviously you can't touch anything, but he is there." ”

Zhou Youchen stroked her belly carefully and nodded slightly, "Well, it's amazing." ”

It's amazing what it's like to be a father.

Because Meng Xilan's health was not good, and this birth was not easy to come by, Zhou Youchen asked the top and bottom of Cining Palace to block the news, and not let others know about it for the time being.

It stands to reason that the emperor's heir is hopeful, and it should be a great joy for the whole world to celebrate. However, there is a reason for this, Meng Xilan's identity is special, and it is absolutely impossible to give birth in the name of the concubine. Therefore, before announcing it to the world, Zhou Youchen must first give her a legitimate position.

According to the rules, Jiao Changqing came to ask for peace for Meng Xilan in the middle of every month. But these days, he has been going to Cining Palace on time almost every day.

Such a careful visit made the palace people curious again. Zhang Rong'er bore the brunt of the suspicions, she wished that there was something unhappy about Meng Xilan's body, and even more wished that she suddenly had a vicious illness and died early!

Zhang Rong'er knew very well in her heart that as long as Meng Xilan was alive, Zhou Youchen's eyes would not be able to accommodate other women, so she was alive to block the way for all the women in the harem!

Recently, her words and deeds have become a little strange, and her mind is not as clear and clear as before, often talking to herself alone, and often laughing at her own shadow alone, which is very weird.

The palace maid around her was frightened all day long, and thought that her master was evil. But the most worrying thing is Zhang Ronger's jealousy of Meng Xilan.

She didn't know where she heard the method, she made a puppet little figure, with Meng Xilan's name and birth date written on it, and every day after dark, she beat and scolded this little person, and poked the little man's chest with a thin embroidery needle, as if she had cursed it again.

The palace maids were scared, but they didn't dare to make a noise, let alone alarm the emperor.

The emperor cares so much about the concubine, if he knows about it, they will definitely not end well as slaves.

After thinking about it a few times, the only person they could trust was the equally unfavored queen mother.

When Song Wenxiu heard this, she was so angry that she had a headache. This Zhang Rong'er, either she's really crazy, or she thinks her life is too long!

She intuitively felt that something must have happened on the side of Cining Palace, maybe a good thing, maybe a bad thing, but no matter what, this was something she couldn't meddle in.

However, she still has the title of queen on her head, she can't control Meng Xilan's affairs, but she can still manage Zhang Rong'er's affairs.

That night, Song Wenxiu personally led people to Zhang Rong'er's bedroom to search, and sure enough, she found the evil thing.

She glanced coldly at the rag doll that had been poked with holes, and then asked in a deep voice: "Wen Jieyu, how are you going to explain this thing?" ”

When Zhang Rong'er heard this, she smiled nervously: "Back to Niangniang, the concubine has nothing to explain." This is someone who wronged the concubine and deliberately framed the concubine. ”

She told a lie so that her face was not red and her heart was not beating, which made Song Wenxiu frown and said: "This is something found from your bedroom, who will frame you?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Rong'er still smiled and said: "Queen Mother, there are many people in this palace who want to frame their concubines." In the Cining Palace alone, there are several people. ”

She did look a little abnormal, her eyes were wandering, her smile was weird, and her over-makeup face was full of an unsettling evil aura.

Song Wenxiu looked coldly at her face, and said word by word: "Are you crazy?" How dare you frame the concubine! ”

Zhang Rong'er raised her eyebrows, turned her head and smiled: "The concubine is fine, how can the concubine be crazy?" ”

She thought she was really crazy, and it was over, but unfortunately, God didn't let her get her wish, and she had to endure endless loneliness and despair for life.
