's biological mother actually disgusted herself to such a point......

The more Zhou Tianyou thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, his brows tightened, and he was silent.

Meng Xilan took in his expression, and sighed in her heart: This stupid boy must have become more sad in his heart. How could he understand that the reason why Zhang Rong'er drew a line with him was not because she was sincerely indifferent and unwilling to have this son, but because she clearly understood in her heart that she would not affect him only if she broke off her relationship with him.

Meng Xilan didn't let Zhou Tianyou leave, but still let him wait aside.

Her words changed sharply, looked at Zhang Rong'er and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a few years. ”

Zhang Rong'er lowered her eyes and said, "Back to Niangniang, it's been five years." ”

The last time she returned to the palace, it was because of the emperor's birthday.

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Time flies so fast, it's been five years in a flash." ”

"How? Looking at your complexion, you seem to be doing well in the past five years. Meng Xilan asked lightly, putting on an attitude of wanting to catch up with her.

While speaking, Zhu Lu personally brought a chair to Zhang Rong'er, she walked to her side and quietly looked at her eyebrows.

Now she looks as calm as water, not at all like the sloppy appearance that was crazy because of the second prince.

"Thank you Niangniang for remembering, life in the temple is light and peaceful, and poor nuns can concentrate on practicing the Fa......"

Before she finished speaking, Meng Xilan interrupted her: "All these years, you have been outside the palace, I'm afraid you don't know anything about the things in the palace." ”

Zhang Rong'er was stunned when she heard this, and only said: "How dare a poor nun ask about the affairs of the palace when she wears a sinful body?" ”

Meng Xilan looked at her face, and the curvature of the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared.

She gave Zhu Lu a look to Zhu Lu, who returned to her side, and Zhu Lu understood, and then said: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was almost poisoned, I don't know what Niang Niang thinks about this matter?" ”

Zhang Rong'er was still unfazed when she heard this, not shocked, nor panicked.

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

She whispered, as if she was completely out of the way.

When Zhulu saw her say this, she only said, "Doesn't Niangniang care about the safety of His Highness?" ”

Zhang Rong'er looked at Meng Xilan and said, "With the protection of the emperor and the care of the queen's mother, His Royal Highness will be safe." ”

If the prince has something, then how can the queen have the leisure to talk to her.

Hearing this, Zhu Lu glanced back at her master, and her eyes clearly said that Zhang Rong'er was guilty.

Zhou Tianyou sat aside, originally calming his mind, who knows, hearing this, he immediately raised his head, he looked at his mother, and saw that her eyes were staring at Zhang Rong'er, and his heart suddenly sank again.

Why did the Queen Mother ask that? Could it be that this matter has anything to do with her?

yes, if it doesn't have anything to do with her? Why did the Queen Mother summon her to the palace? Their relationship has been stalemate for many years, and it is not a relationship where they can sit down, drink tea and talk.

A chill ran in Zhou Tianyou's heart.

He turned his gaze to Zhang Rong'er again, looking at her face.

The matter of the prince's brother will not have anything to do with her, no.

Meng Xilan pursed her lips, as if smiling: "The prince is about to become an adult, but some people can't see him well." But speaking of which, this poisoned person planned carefully, but he did it in a hurry. They finally waited for Xiao Liuzi to get a job beside the prince. But why did they kill him first? ”

Zhang Rong'er was still calm and listened silently.

I have to say that after not seeing her for a few years, she has become more able to calm down.

Not to be surprised, this is something she couldn't do before.

"Niangniang, the poor nun is already half a monk. How can I know about the things in the palace? ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath when she heard this, and shook her head gently: "You shouldn't be like this...... We are all old acquaintances, and besides, what did this palace do to Song Wenxiu back then? Presumably, you remember it clearly. ”

Speaking of the past, Zhang Ronger's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She remembers the events of that year clearly.

"The poor nun dare not forget!" Her tone was calm, not as calm as Fang Cai's.

Meng Xilan was deliberately silent for a moment, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then she put the tea cup in her hand on the shelf, and only said: "You know those methods of this palace." So, let's make a long story short, where did those poisons come from, although you have lived outside the palace for five years, the Buddhist scriptures you copied are still sent to the palace every month. ”

In fact, Gao Welfare still hasn't found out how this poison was transported into the palace.

Zhou Tianyou couldn't listen anymore, he stood up, walked in front of Meng Xilan, and knelt down: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't understand. ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes to look at him, her eyes were gloomy: "What don't you understand?" ”

Zhou Tianyou hesitated: "Why did the queen mother bring her to ask about the prince's poisoning?" ”

Meng Xilan stretched out her fingers, and her fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop.

"Because she's the real culprit behind the scenes." Meng Xilan said this sentence word by word.

Zhou Tianyou was stunned when he heard this, and said with a shocked face: "Impossible, no." ”

He looked back at Zhang Rong'er and found that her face had turned to ashes at some point.

Meng Xilan's fingertips were still lightly tapping the table: "Say it, say it in front of the second prince." If you're willing to tell the truth, this palace may be able to leave you a decent place! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Rong'er slowly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a hint of an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Decent? Where is the decency of the poor nuns in this palace now? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tianyou immediately sat down on the ground, and he understood that it was indeed related to her at this time.

"The prince is the only bottom line of this palace, you can come to this palace, but you can't touch the prince. Don't you know this? ”

Zhang Rong'er was still smiling, her laughter sounding so gloomy and harsh.

"Poor Ni knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the bottom line of his mother, so he is safe and sound."

Okay, finally getting to the point.

Meng Xilan got up slowly, bypassed the stunned Zhou Tianyou, and came to Zhang Rong'er.

Zhang Rong'er looked up at her, her eyes were like torches, there was no longer anything in her eyes, the indifference and calmness of Fang Cai.

That kind of sharp gaze should not be what a person who was born into a family should be.

"Tell me, how did you get that poison in? And how did those eunuchs buy it? Was it your own idea? Or is it your mother's family's idea? ”

Meng Xilan said as she stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed her cheek.

Zhang Rong'er turned her face away and dodged her hand.

"No, don't be embarrassed by my mother's family, they have already died with me, and they won't do such a thing."

Meng Xilan's eyes sank, and she directly reached out and pinched her neck, just lightly, but not forcefully.

"Honestly......"

Zhang Rong'er breathed for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Today's events are inseparable from Song Wenxiu. ”

Song Wen embroidered ...... A dead person, what does it have to do with her?

Back then, she was crazy because of the strangeness of the second prince, and when she realized that she no longer had the capital to compete for favor and turn over, Meng Xilan showed mercy to her subordinates and let her live.

"Niangniang ruined Song Wenxiu, and the emperor also exiled the Song family. Song Wenxiu is the treasure of the Song family, and the mother ended her like that, how could the Song family give up! ”

Meng Xilan slowly let go of her hand.

Although the Song family left Beijing in despair, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. The foundation of the Song family is still there, their connections are still there, and the Song family is holding back their strength and spent ten years planning and laying out all this.

"Niangniang has firmly controlled the harem in her own hands over the years, and the power of the Song family cannot penetrate in, so she can only buy the minions in the palace. Those eunuchs and palace maids, although they were afraid of death, were even more greedy for money. Moreover, the benefits given to them by the Song family made it impossible for them to refuse! ”

It's been ten years, how cautious is Meng Xilan? However, it is impossible to prevent it, and there are still people who take advantage of the loopholes.

"The Song family found me five years ago...... I went out of the palace to recite the Buddha at that time, just to avoid the disturbances in this palace. The Song family found me, and they wanted to use me, even the second prince......"

When Zhang Rong'er said this, she looked at Zhou Tianyou, who was sitting on the ground.

"On what terms did they convince you?" Meng Xilan asked coldly.

Zhang Rong'er suddenly fell silent, her throat choked, and she lowered her head: "Second prince ......"

She didn't call him by his name, she just called him the second prince.

When Zhou Tianyou heard this, his whole person became excited.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Zhang Rong'er smiled bitterly: "They said that if you don't have the prince, you will be the eldest son of the emperor." Then ......"

The rest of the words, without her needing to say, Meng Xilan also understood.

"Oh, I see." Meng Xilan took a long breath, and always felt that this puzzle in her heart had finally been solved.

The fetters of more than ten years ago still need to be ended after all.

"The second prince was born to me, but unfortunately, he was born with inadequacy...... I gave up on him back then, but he was the prince after all, and I wanted to do something for him. When Zhang Rong'er said this, her tone trembled slightly, implying infinite sadness.

A layer of tears appeared in Zhou Tianyou's eyes, which were not tears of emotion, but tears of shock.

What is this? A mother who has disliked him since he was born, and who wants to abandon him, is still hoping to make him a prince?

"After all these years, why are you still so stupid?"

Meng Xilan lowered her tone and glared at Zhang Rong'er.

"Those promises that cannot be fulfilled are all empty words, complete nonsense!"

Zhang Rong'er smiled bitterly again: "I know...... So, I changed my mind temporarily and lost Xiao Liuzi. Their plans had to be put to death for the time being......"

When Meng Xilan heard this, her heart was like a heavy dark cloud, bleak.

"Five years of dormancy, since you want to do it, why did you change your mind?"

When Zhang Rong'er saw her asking, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and only said: "Niangniang, you should know very well that the poor nun was an extremely stupid person in the past, and the poor nun is not suitable for living in this palace, let alone the prince's biological mother." Poor Ni doesn't want to make mistakes again and again, and affect others. If something happens to His Royal Highness the Prince, I know exactly how the emperor and his mother will behave. ”

According to their ruthlessness, I am afraid that all the people in this palace will be brought together for burial.

The one she is most afraid of being affected is Zhou Tianyou.

Meng Xilan turned to look at her again: "How did that poison come in?" ”

How can copied Buddhist scriptures be entrained with poison?

Zhang Rong'er said quietly: "The ink that copied the text was melted with poisonous water. I copied the scriptures in poisoned ink and sent them to the palace, where the eunuchs would pull out a few scrolls of the scriptures and use hot water to cut the ink off the paper. Poison ink is so poisonous that just a little bit can kill you. Add a drop to a jar of water. ”

Meng Xilan's temples jumped suddenly when she heard this.

It's a clever and good idea, but it's too vicious.

If it weren't for Zhang Rong'er's sudden change of mind, it would be difficult for Changsheng to escape this catastrophe!

"Niangniang......" Zhang Ronger opened her eyes, and there were no tears, only darkness.

"The poor nun is guilty, and he will not defend himself. Niangniang can dispose of me casually, but His Royal Highness the Second Prince...... He was innocent. He shouldn't have a mother like me in his life, and I don't want to bother him. ”

A man is dying, and his words are good. That was the only thing she wanted to say.

Zhou Tianyou burst into tears, he took off the veil on his face, walked in front of her angrily, raised his hand and pointed at her face and said, "You are hypocritical!" You were the one who wanted to strangle me to death back then! You want me to die, so what are you doing all this stupid stuff? ”

Zhang Rong'er looked up at him, and the whole person was shocked.

His face ...... His face was completely different from what she remembered. His eyebrows and eyes are delicate, his facial features are not distorted, but under the tip of his nose, there are two striking scars, and the corner of his left lip, which is slightly crooked, but not ugly.

Zhou Tianyou saw her staring at him, and immediately turned his face away: "You hate my face very much, don't you?" ”

Zhang Rong'er shook her head in shock, she staggered to her feet, held his face, and looked carefully.

When he was a child, she had secretly seen him once, and it was a scar on his face, and it was very conspicuous and terrifying. But now, his face was completely different.

"My son...... My son......" Zhang Ronger cried bitterly, not knowing whether she was wronged or happy for her son.

Zhou Tianyou listened to her words, with tears in his eyes, brushed her hand away, took a step back and said, "No, I am not your son, I am the son of the queen mother." ”

From the moment she abandoned him, she was not his mother.

His words were like sharp blades, piercing Zhang Rong'er's heart.

Meng Xilan's expression changed slightly, looked at Zhou Tianyou's tearful eyes, and only said, "You'er, don't be rude to her." She is your biological mother after all, conceived in October and gave birth to you ......"

This sentence made Zhang Ronger hide her face with her hands and cry bitterly for a while.

Meng Xilan looked at her faintly, and then stretched out her hand to Zhou Tianyou and said, "You'er, come here." ”

Zhou Tianyou couldn't help himself from crying, he walked slowly in front of her step by step, and knelt down heavily: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know anything. Spare her, Queen Mother...... Erchen is willing to be a slave and a maid for the rest of his life, serving the prince's brother. ”
