Zhou Youchen listened to her words, and his heart was extremely angry. But he deliberately hid his emotions, raised his eyebrows for a long time, and said lightly: "What? You can't wait to be a matchmaker for me? ”

Meng Xilan clenched the teacup in her hand, "That's not it, it's just that when you're old, it's a miracle to marry a wife and have children." ”

Zhou Youchen's throat tightened slightly, and he only gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and smiled meaningfully. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand, stroked Meng Xilan's face with his palm, and frowned: "Thin." ”

Meng Xilan dodged lightly and deliberately laughed.

Suddenly, Zhulu put the food on the same table, she was supposed to stay and cook for the master, but Zhou Youchen waved his hand and asked her to go down first.

Meng Xilan has never liked to talk when eating, and so does Zhou Youchen.

The two of them finished their meal quietly, and the atmosphere was a little heavy and a little delicate.

"Why are you free to come and see me today?"

After the meal, Meng Xilan tried to break the deadlock between the two, but she didn't have a suitable topic.

Zhou Youchen said lightly: "I will come to see you every day in the future." When he said this, his eyes always lingered on Meng Xilan's face.

Every day? Meng Xilan shook her head in confusion, who knows, Zhou Youchen continued: "In the future, I will pass through that palace gate every day and come to see you in a bright and bright way, no longer like before." ”

He used to like to go out at night, and then he came in alone over the wall, jumped over her window, and appeared in front of her like a surprise.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath, looked at him and said, "Chen'er, let's talk openly and honestly." Don't just say polite things, say something else. ”

Zhou Youchen's eyes gradually sank: "You are finally willing to listen to me." ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and said, "I have always been willing." ”

"Okay, so where do we start?" Zhou Youchen waited for her knowingly.

He never forgot that kiss, and presumably, she was the same.

Meng Xilan said solemnly: "Just talk about the events of that day, you did something wrong." ”

For some reason, Zhou Youchen's face turned slightly red after hearing this. "I don't think I'm doing anything wrong."

"No, that's a mistake, a complete mistake." Meng Xilan groaned and said, "Chen'er, you are a person closer to me than my brother." I don't want to be angry with you for a wrong thing, and I don't want to be estranged from you. Now that it's happening, let it pass. We're still getting along like we used to, okay? ”

They used to be each other's best friends, so simple and uninhibited, they could share all the joys and sorrows of each other, as well as the secrets and privacy that no one knew. The thought of becoming a stranger and awkward to him made her feel uncomfortable, as if she had been opened up in her heart.

A gleam flashed in Zhou Youchen's eyes, "I'm not your brother, and you're not my relative." I love being with you and I want to be with you all the time. ”

He was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, and those words that had been accumulated for a long time finally couldn't help but say it.

Meng Xilan's back was cold when she heard this, and she couldn't help but interrupt him: "When you need me, I will definitely be there." ”

Zhou Youchen shook his head: "No, I want you to be there all the time." ”

Meng Xilan listened a little, and couldn't help but stand up and say, "Zhou Youchen, what's wrong with you?" You ......"

"I like you!" Zhou Youchen's face was serious, his eyes were like glass, and his eyes were slightly softer.

Meng Xilan was stunned, and there was a slight wrinkle between her eyebrows.

"I like you, Meng Xilan." Zhou Youchen accentuated his tone and spoke again.

There is no one in this world who treats him so gently as she does. When she appeared, it was when he was most sad, and when she talked to him, it was when he missed his mother the most. She left so many memories in his life that sometimes when he closed his eyes, he only had her in his mind, and even when he dreamed, he only had her.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing listened carefully outside, and almost exclaimed, but they both covered each other's mouths again.

Now it's a big deal.

"The book says that all people in the world have seven emotions and six desires. I'm no longer a child, and if I kiss you, it means I want you. The light in Zhou Youchen's eyes flashed slightly, which made Meng Xilan frightened.

In an instant, the whole heart was disturbed.

What is this? Showdown, or confession?

When Zhou Youchen came over and grabbed her wrist, Meng Xilan raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how difficult my situation is now? The Queen Mother left me with a suicide note, asking me to be a living dead for the rest of my life in this Cining Palace. In order to test Zhou Youlin, your father will also make a fuss about me. Concubine Ning wants to harm me, and the queen looks down on me again, and now, even you are going to start disobedient, right? ”

Zhou Youchen was stunned when he heard this, turned his face cold, and hugged her tightly into his arms.

It was a strong hug, extra hard and full of restraint.

Meng Xilan felt that she was a little out of breath. "Let go of ......"

Zhou Youchen not only didn't let go, but hugged her tighter, hating to embed her whole person in her body, so that she wouldn't always treat herself so badly.

"If someone wants to hurt you, I'll be the first to kill him." Zhou Youchen hugged her and said.

She was a little thin in her arms, with his favorite faint scent.

Meng Xilan knew that his strength could not be compared to him, so she simply gave up struggling, and just said quietly: "Do you want to kill your father and kill the king?" You're crazy......"

The bodies of the two people are close together, intimately sharing each other's body temperatures.

Zhou Youchen suddenly smiled lightly: "I'm not crazy, I just know in my heart who is the most important person in my heart." I did what you wanted me to do, and I never let you down, did I? ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, her expression was slightly confused.

"We all play around with other people, but you know what I care about the most, and I know you just as well. We can do vicious things together, and we can do happy things together. ”

Meng Xilan had to admit that Zhou Youchen was the only person in the world who knew what was on her mind. She didn't want to lose him, and she never thought she would.

Meng Xilan subconsciously patted him on the back, and then it seemed like she had been stung by something, and it hurt so much that she retracted her hand.

She was afraid that such a move would be a disguised incentive for him.

He hugged her tightly, and he could feel her rhythmic heartbeat.

Zhou Youchen pursed his lips slightly: "You will choose me, right?" ”

Meng Xilan sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to shake her head or nod. "Wait a minute, you let me slow down."

Any hasty decision comes at a heavy cost.

"Yes." Zhou Youchen was no longer aggressive and obedient.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing could see the figures of the two embracing each other through the bead curtain, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

In the end, it was Gao Fu who patted them on the shoulder and gave them a look.

He led them out of the room, and then whispered, "We have to keep watch, so that no one else can see it." ”

Zhulu was so anxious that her palms were sweating: "What should I do?" What should the master do? ”

Gao Fuli glanced at her helplessly: "Oh, my sister, are you really stupid or pretending to be confused?" The master and the ninth master have reached this point, what else can I do? Sooner or later, it will be done. ”

Seeing his disrespectful words, Zhulu hurriedly reprimanded: "What are you talking about? ”

Gao Fuli said with a serious face: "Don't care what I say, as long as the ninth master is willing to be good to the master, it is more important than anything else." ”

Just as they were talking, Zhou Youchen had slowly let go of Meng Xilan.

Looking at him again, Meng Xilan was a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Youchen smiled, only imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and said lightly: "I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

Meng Xilan didn't say anything, just watched him leave.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing immediately rushed over, opening their mouths to ask, but they didn't dare to ask.

Meng Xilan was in a trance for a while, and then slowly sat down and muttered, "I must be crazy." ”

"Master." Zhulu squatted down, looked at her and said, "You are really ...... with the Ninth Master"

When the words came to his mouth, some of them could not be spoken.

Meng Xilan hooked the corners of her mouth a little helplessly, and only said: "Don't ask, let Xiao Lizi go out of the palace to spread the word, I want to see my grandmother." ”

At this moment, the Meng family is all tied to Zhou Youlin's body, and she has to do something.

Mrs. Meng waited for the news, and soon entered the palace.

Meng Xilan told her that Zhou Youchen was going to participate in the succession, and the old lady was frightened on the spot.

Zhou Youchen...... And the king of the county?!

"Hasn't he been taken care of by you all the time?"

Meng Xilan shook her head: "This time is different from the past. Nowadays, the prince of the county is very highly regarded by the emperor, so it is normal for him to be ambitious. ”

She didn't say anything about the two of them, because it was too outrageous, and she didn't want her family to worry.

"I'll take your father with me." Old Lady Meng nodded heavily.

"My father is in the court, I guess I have heard the news a long time ago, I just want him to know in his heart. As for the rest of the matter, we still need to think about it in the long run. ”

Mrs. Meng knew what was going on, "Got it." But Lan'er, you have to beware of that and the king of the county, don't let him make a mistake and implicate you. ”

"Don't worry, Grandmother. The only person I don't have to guard against in this palace is him. ”

No matter what Zhou Youchen did or how much trouble he caused, she would not hate him because of this and guard against him. Because he was who he was, the only person she could trust.

Zhou Youchen really did what he said, and then came to Cining Palace on time every day to eat with her.

The uneasiness in Meng Xilan's heart increased day by day, but Zhou Youchen looked relaxed, as if he didn't care about anything and was not afraid.

His self-confidence may not be groundless...... A few days later, Gao Fuli brought the news that someone in the court had inexplicably participated in Zhou Youlin's book. Although it was a trumped-up charge, the emperor was still furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
