The disappointment on Zhou Youchen's face flashed, but he was not annoyed.

He lay on his back on the bed, looked at Meng Xilan's back, and said, "I still say the same thing, I won't force you, as long as you stay by my side, I will be satisfied." ”

She still seems to have concerns about him. It was three years ago, and it hasn't changed three years later.

Meng Xilan sat on her knees, hugged her knees with both hands, and said lightly: "The mourning family met Empress Song and Concubine Wen today, they are both very good women, and they are all women worthy of the emperor's favor. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Youchen also sat up all of a sudden, and said, "You only start to mind now?" There's your plan for that, isn't it? ”

His tone was a little anxious, he originally wanted to be alone, but under the pressure of the ministers, he had to choose a concubine, these things, she obviously knew.

Meng Xilan looked back at him: "No, the mourning family doesn't mind, on the contrary, the mourning family thinks it's a good thing for the emperor." If they can give birth to an heir for the emperor as soon as possible, it will be the work of the society. ”

"The merit of the society?" Zhou Youchen smiled lightly, turned over and got out of bed, and walked a few steps before saying, "I have never touched a finger of them, how can they give birth to an imperial heir?" ”

To put it nicely, they are his queens and concubines, and to put it mildly, they are just exquisite decorations in this harem, useless and useless.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" is easy to grow old, why bother to surprise the beauty in vain. ”

Zhou Youchen turned his head to look at her, gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "There has never been anyone else in my eyes, only you." ”

Meng Xilan also stood up: "However, my body has been defeated, and it is difficult to give birth to children for the emperor anymore." Not to mention, how do I deal with myself in the palace, just on the matter, I am already a useless woman to the emperor. ”

Three years ago, she wouldn't have said it so bluntly, because there was still room for things to turn around. And now, that she's back, something has to be said.

Zhou Youchen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect things to become so serious. "You mean, the cold incense poison ...... back then"

He knew that she had been sick for a long time because of the poisonous incense, but he didn't know that the poison would always be in her body.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and sat on the chair, no longer looking at his face, but said in a low voice: "My constitution is weak and cold, even if I am pregnant, I may not be able to give birth safely." Therefore, if the emperor only guards me, then the matter of the emperor's heir will definitely be hopeless. In this way, how many people are waiting for the opportunity to move and design to seize power? ”

"After so many years of hard work and suffering, is it all because of me alone?"

Although Jiao Changqing never told her directly, Meng Xilan knew that his body was not good from his reserved attitude. Moreover, it's not bad in general.

Xu is because she has never had any hope for this matter after living a new life, even if she learned that she could not have children, she did not feel very uncomfortable, but she just felt regretful.

Even if she could be reborn, she wouldn't be able to have her own flesh and blood.

Zhou Youchen was silent for a few seconds before he squatted down and said, "I just want you." ”

The demeanor with which he said this couldn't help but remind Meng Xilan of him before, always looking at himself with such a stubborn face.

Meng Xilan silently closed her silence when she heard this, moved her lower lips, and slowly spit out two words: "Childish!" ”

"Chen'er, have we come to this day just for the Golden Dragon Throne? Can we throw away everything we have if we want to? ”

Zhou Youchen understood the deep meaning of her words, and said with gloomy eyes: "I am not a child anymore, so I naturally know how powerful it is." ”

"Chen'er, in the battle for succession back then, what you and I wanted was never the throne, but the right to be able to control our own destiny. Three years ago, you gave me freedom, and now I am back, in the name of the concubine, back to you, as I said, we are relatives, and we will be relatives for the rest of our lives. ”

After Meng Xilan finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to caress Zhou Youchen's face, but who knows, Zhou Youchen turned his head and dodged it.

He stood up, turned the wrench on his thumb, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Xilan, I am waiting for you to come back to make you my woman!" You don't want to now, I'm willing to wait, until you nod! ”

After saying this, Zhou Youchen brushed his sleeves away, and Gao Fuli saw that his master's face was not good, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Hooray...... The dinner in the imperial dining room is ready, why don't you dine with your mother? ”

Originally, everything was planned, and the two of them had dinner together for a good reunion.

Zhou Youchen said with a gloomy face: "Send all the meals to Cining Palace, I have no appetite." ”

Seeing this, Gao Fuli knew the depth in his heart, so he nodded again and again, and stopped talking nonsense.

It seems that there is no happiness between the Lord and the master. How good is that? The master has just returned on the first day, and Long Live Lord is not happy!

Zhou Youchen went all the way back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, thinking that he could be clean and clean, but who knows, Song Wenxiu was waiting for him with a serious face.

Zhou Youchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "Queen, is there something wrong?" ”

Song Wen embroidered her sleeves and said slowly: "If the concubine is not mistaken, the emperor has just returned from Cining Palace." ”

Zhou Youchen frowned deeply: "Since you know everything, why do you knowingly ask?" Queen, you have always had something to say, and you don't have to beat around the bush today. ”

Song Wenxiu took a deep breath, stepped forward, knelt down in a proper manner, and said, "The concubine is risking death today, and ask the emperor to move the concubine out of the palace." ”

Zhou Youchen originally picked up a book to read, but when he heard this, he immediately threw it back and sneered, "Queen, what do you mean by this?" The concubine has just returned to the palace, and you let me take her away, do you want to slap me in the face, or do you want to slap the concubine in the face? ”

Song Wenxiu knew that he was angry, bowed her head and said, "Since the concubine is the queen, she must share the emperor's worries." The concubine is still young and complete, so it is too controversial to leave her in the palace like this! It stands to reason that the concubines of the first emperor, except for the queen mother and the emperor's biological mother, the rest of the people have to move out of the palace to live for the rest of their lives. The concubine felt that the emperor placed the concubine in Cining Palace, which was very inappropriate. ”

Zhou Youchen seemed to be smiling, and made a flat gesture to signal her to get up and speak.

"Queen, your temperament has always said something, and it is really uncomfortable for me to listen to such insinuations today! It's not the first time you've objected to the matter of the concubine, but now that you come to me and force you to die, it seems that you are going to do it seriously. ”

Song Wenxiu bit her lower lip slightly, took a deep breath and said, "That's right, there are some things to say today, and the concubine can't help but say it." ”

Meng Xilan, when she first saw her, she didn't have much eye-catching, she was nothing more than her beautiful appearance and gentle eyebrows and eyes. But after talking to her face-to-face in detail, Song Wenxiu knew that this person should not be underestimated.

She seems to be indifferent to everything, but in fact, she knows everything in her heart, and no one can easily fool her.

"Your Majesty, let the concubines ask a question, if you shouldn't ask. Didn't you take the concubine back to the palace just to let him sleep with him? ”

Zhou Youchen's mind changed subtly in an instant, he could have not answered, just a few words and sent her out. But thinking of the alienation of Meng Xilan's words just now, he was very concerned in his heart.

"Of course, she was originally my woman!"

Song Wenxiu frowned when she heard this: "Your Majesty, she is a concubine, and she is the surviving person of the first emperor!" Strictly speaking, she's your mother-in-law! ”

Zhou Youchen raised his head: "So what?" The first emperor is gone, and now I am the Son of Heaven, and no one can stop me from what I want! ”

"No, the concubine will stop you! Your Majesty, please think twice! This kind of thing that violates the principles of ethics and common sense, once it is known to the civil and military officials and the people of the world, it will be the shame and stain of the royal family! For the sake of a woman, it is simply worth the loss to damage the emperor's reputation and honor like this. ”

"Female streamers...... Hearing this, Zhou Youchen hooked the corners ......of his mouth and said gloomily: "Queen, you don't know something." When I was young, was I called for anything in the palace? ”

Song Wenxiu's eyes were slightly condensed, obviously knowing a little about the events of the year.

Zhou Youchen used to be the most unfavored prince, he was bullied, and later he was pitied by the Queen Mother, so he had the opportunity to behave in front of the first emperor, and he had today.

"Hybrid...... That's what those people do. Fame...... Honor...... These things are of no use to me. Queen, you said that you are going to die today, I will never stop you, white silk poisonous wine, you can choose whatever you want. But even if you die, I won't leave Concubine Lan! I can honestly tell you that she is the only woman I care about. I can live without any of you, but I can't live without her! ”

The relationship between him and her is something that no one in this world can understand, and they don't need to understand.

Song Wenxiu's body shook when she heard this, and she was a little unstable. She didn't expect him to refuse ruthlessly.

"Your Majesty, no matter how important Concubine Lan is, it is not more important than this Jiangshan Sheji!"

Zhou Youchen straightened his face, slapped the bookcase heavily and said, "Queen, it's not your turn to teach!" You don't know anything about Concubine Lan, and you're not qualified to judge her at all! Next time, if you dare to mention her without permission, I won't let you feel better! When you entered the palace, you should have known in your heart that I would not touch you, let alone like you. So, no matter what you do, I will not have any heart for you. As long as you can be your queen mother honestly, I will treat your people well and promote your brother. But if you don't know how to lift...... Don't forget, behind you, I have a lot of options. ”

Song Wenxiu bit her lower lip hard when she heard this, and she was speechless for a while.

Even though the position of "queen" is just an empty shell, for her and the Song family, it is the most important protection.
