She is willing to fight for her life, and she can only win, not lose! Otherwise, her efforts to relive her life would still be in vain. The Meng family and her still can't escape the tragic fateful ending.

Hearing Meng Xilan say such words, Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment. Indeed, there will never be a second person in this palace who will stand before her and say such disrespectful words to her.

Meng Xilan, Meng Xilan, she really didn't expect that there was such a vicious side in her body...... Perhaps, this is who she is.

The venomous snake hidden in her heart had begun to stir uneasily, and the scarlet snake hyacinth hissed, a sound that heralded that danger was coming.

Murong Qiao couldn't refuse her boldness, nor did he dare to refuse her proposal, so he only took a deep breath and said slowly: "You allow this palace to think about it, the stakes are very high, and this palace must make a careful decision!" ”

Meng Xilan sneered lightly when she heard this: "Niangniang thinks that Xilan has not made a careful decision after careful consideration?" I treat my mother as my own, don't think of me as a fool. I'm here to talk to my mother about the great thing we are looking forward to together. If Niangniang wants to ally with me, then she must show some sincerity first. ”

Her tone was calm, but a little sharp.

"......" Murong Qiao was speechless for a while in the face of her strength. What exactly do you want Hongu to do? ”

"Tell me the truth. Concubine Xiao's death, how did she die? Meng Xilan asked quietly.

Now, that's what matters most to her. No matter what, she has to tell Zhou Youchen the truth, which everyone owes him.

Murong Qiao's shoulders trembled slightly. "Why do you have to hold on to this? Is it because of Zhou Youchen? ”

"Yes." Meng Xilan admitted.

"Will you avenge him?" Murong Qiao looked directly into her eyes.

"Niangniang don't have to worry about this, Niangniang just needs to tell the truth. I just want to know the truth......" Meng Xilan's tone was not good, full of anxiety. "As long as Niangniang says it, I will deal with it properly on Chen'er's side. I'll let him know who the real killer is. ”

She is just a pawn, a pawn who loses her conscience in order to compete for favor.

Murong Qiao was forced too hard by her, and he only felt an unbearable headache. She held her forehead with one hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, this palace will tell you." ”

What happened back then, she originally wanted to hide it in her heart for the rest of her life. Because that is the secret between her and Zhou Shixian. It's a pity that Zhou Shixian disappointed her and was disheartened.

After Concubine Xiao entered the palace, the emperor was fascinated by her. He couldn't see anyone else in his eyes anymore, only Concubine Xiao...... However, Concubine Xiao's mind was not in the palace, she felt that she was just a tribute that was sent. She really wanted to leave the queen, but the emperor couldn't do without her at all, he stuck to her like a fascinated child. ”

Murong Qiao said quietly, recalling the past little by little.

"Concubine Xiao has always wanted to leave the palace, her heart is not in the palace, nor is it on the emperor's body. The emperor didn't mind, he doted on her and loved her, and only hoped that one day she would willingly stay by his side. However, Concubine Xiao disappointed him, and she found an opportunity to sneak out of the palace and disappeared for several months. ”

After Concubine Xiao left the palace, Zhou Shixian was furious and ordered to find her even if he wanted to turn the entire capital upside down! However, Concubine Xiao was finally sent back to the capital by her clan and sent back to the palace.

After Concubine Xiao returned to the palace, the emperor was very happy on the surface, but his heart was full of contradictions. learned that Concubine Xiao was pregnant, and the emperor immediately canonized her as a concubine, but a concubine position couldn't hold her heart. Even if it is the position of the queen, Concubine Xiao will not look at it. ”

When Murong Xiao said this, her eyes flickered slightly: "She is like an outlier in the palace. She doesn't fight or grab, she is alone leisurely, she doesn't care about the palace rules, as if she is not interested in anything. After Concubine Xiao became pregnant, she no longer let the emperor touch her, not even once. Before Zhou Youchen was born, there were rumors in the palace that the child in Concubine Xiao's womb was not of royal blood, but of a barbarian race. ”

Meng Xilan knew a little about this, Zhou Youchen was not a child born in the sound of blessings.

Although the rumors are getting stronger and stronger, the emperor knows very well in his heart that Zhou Youchen is his son. The results of the diagnosis of the doctors speak for themselves. When Concubine Xiao left the palace, she was pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood in her womb. It was for the sake of this child that she had to risk death to leave the palace and leave this "golden birdcage" in her eyes. ”

Zhou Shixian is a very suspicious and narrow-minded person, he knows that the child in Concubine Xiao's womb is his son, but he can't be sure whether Concubine Xiao has betrayed him? Is there another man in her heart......

The emperor became suspicious of Concubine Xiao, and he began to suffer from gains and losses. At that time, the palace tried its best to compete with Concubine Xiao for favor, but unfortunately, everything was in vain. When Zhou Youchen was born, the emperor's mood was anxious, he was afraid that he would lose Concubine Xiao again, and gradually, the emperor's heart had a killing intention for Concubine Xiao, and Bengong was the first person to perceive this thought. ”

is as smart as her, how can she not know the thoughts in the people next to her pillow. She preempted opportunities that others didn't perceive.

Zhou Shixian's character is like this, if he can't get something, even if it is ruined, he can't let others get it.

In order not to let Concubine Xiao leave him, in order not to let others get his most beloved woman, Zhou Shixian killed Concubine Xiao. He would rather kill her so she never leaves himself.

Meng Xilan was terrified when she heard this.

What a selfish person, what a selfish and twisted feeling.

"After Zhou Youchen was born, the emperor also relented, but his nature will not change. He wanted Concubine Xiao to die, but he didn't want to do it himself, so he asked Bengong to be this bad guy. ”

"At that time, Bengong was bent on competing for favor and bent on paving the way for Lin'er, so Bengong agreed. The palace secretly poisoned Concubine Xiao, and then watched her take it with her own eyes, and then asked the imperial doctors to help cover it up, and the result was that Concubine Xiao suddenly contracted a vicious illness and unfortunately died. ”

Murong Qiao's tone trembled slightly: "That was the first time that this palace had killed someone, although this palace saw Concubine Xiao die with his own eyes, but this palace did kill her with his own hands." ”

She looked down at her hand, the wound on her palm, which had begun to heal slowly, but it still seemed as if it could ooze blood anytime and anywhere.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath: "This is really terrifying. ”

Murong Qiao smiled lightly: "It is because of this that this palace has been able to enjoy the favor for twenty years. The hands of the main palace hold the emperor's greatest secret. Now, this palace has told you this secret, and it has become a secret between you and me. ”

In fact, Meng Xilan had vaguely guessed the ins and outs of the matter. But she didn't expect that there were so many complex and distorted emotions mixed in here.

In Zhou Shixian's eyes, the ultimate in loving someone is destruction, which is really a sad obsession.

"Rest assured, Xilan will make good use of this secret, and will never let it harm Niangniang in the slightest."

Murong Qiao suddenly felt a little regretful, she grabbed Meng Xilan's hand and said nervously, "You won't betray this palace, right?" ”

If Zhou Youchen knew about this matter, he might retaliate.

"Is Niangniang worried about the Ninth Master?" Meng Xilan could see through her thoughts, because they were now evenly matched.

"I killed his mother after all."

Zhou Youchen's temperament is notoriously eccentric, who knows what he will do?

Meng Xilan interrupted Murong Qiao's words, "No, just like Niang Niang just said. The person who killed Concubine Xiao was not the mother, but the emperor. Therefore, the ninth master and we are on the same side. ”

Murong Qiao's eyes flashed when he heard this, and his expression eased slightly: "Now that we all know each other's hole cards, what are your plans?" ”

Meng Xilan thought for a moment and said, "When the emperor leaves the palace to escape the summer, it is time for us to act." ”

There are many people working in the palace, so the best choice is to be outside the palace.

Murong Qiao's face froze, slowly stroked his heart, and nodded silently.

She can do anything for the sake of her son, and she was and still is.

As long as Zhou Youlin inherits the throne, she will be the queen mother, and she will be able to enjoy all the glory and peace of mind for the rest of her life.

After an afternoon of talking, Meng Xilan and Murong Qiao officially secretly allied.

After returning to Cining Palace, Meng Xilan instructed Zhulu to bring warm water.

She hurriedly washed her face, accidentally wetting the shredded hair on her sideburns.

Meng Xilan looked down at herself reflected in the water, and suddenly felt a little unfamiliar, she gently stirred the water in the basin with her fingers, causing the water surface to make waves, and then blurring her face.

Only God knows what a reckless and risky decision she made.

Meng Xilan wiped a handful of water from her face and wiped herself clean with a towel.

Zhu Lu was about to step forward to serve, but found that the master's hand was trembling slightly: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Meng Xilan was also an afterthought, and when she looked down, she saw her uneasiness.

It has been very difficult for her to survive until now. In front of Concubine Ning just now, she had been holding on, holding on hard to prevent herself from showing the slightest timidity and panic.

"Zhulu, bring me a cup of soothing tea." Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said.

What she needs most now is calm. A calm mood can make her think better.

Zhulu answered.

Early the next morning, Murong Qiao came out dressed up again, she was not as depressed as before, but dressed up energetically and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace to greet the emperor.

Zhou Shixian was a little surprised, but he was not so surprised.

He knew this woman, she was a smart woman, she knew the depths and the severity.

"Concubine Ai's complexion looks a lot better." Zhou Shixian smiled faintly.

"Thanks to the emperor's grace and blessing, the little problem with the concubine has long been fine." Murong Qiaoying smiled and said in a gentle tone: "The emperor has been busy with political affairs recently, and it is really hard. The concubine specially boiled some ginseng chicken soup and sent it to nourish the emperor's body. ”
