Chapter 308: No Retreat (3)

At noon, there was silence in the Heart Nourishing Temple.

Zhou Youchen originally wanted to talk to Meng Xilan for a while and get close. Who knows, Meng Xilan has been tired and sleepy recently, leaning on his arms, and fell asleep without saying a few words.

Zhou Youchen was afraid of disturbing her, so he just sat there motionless. And he himself finally got quiet, these days the ministers have been in the court, and they have made a lot of trouble, nothing more than for Meng Xilan's business.

In Zhou Shirao's original words, it is: "One emperor and two queens are really ridiculous." The emperor's arbitrary behavior will only make the whole world laugh at him, and he will laugh at the emperor for being a faint monarch who is obsessed with women! ”

It seems that he has made up his mind to bite Meng Xilan and not let go. He relied on those supporters behind him, full of confidence, however, he didn't know that once Meng Xilan gave birth to a prince, his support camp would lose most of it.

When she woke up, it was half an hour later.

Meng Xilan didn't feel that she was asleep, she thought she was just closing her eyes for a while.

Zhou Youchen saw her move, and said in a low voice: "Awake?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan gently grabbed Zhou Youchen's arm and pressed it a few times for him: "I don't know I'm asleep." ”

Fine sweat broke out on her forehead, and she looked like she was really asleep.

Zhou Youchen smiled gently, lowered his head, and his loving gaze wandered on Meng Xilan's body, "It's okay, I also closed my eyes just now to recuperate." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan sat up straight silently, held Zhou Youchen's face with both hands, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly: "For the sake of the concubine, is the emperor very tired?" ”

The tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes couldn't be stopped, and there was still a little bloodshot in his eyes.

Zhou Youchen was afraid that she would think too much, so he grabbed her hand and put it to his mouth and kissed it gently. "No, I've slept less in the past two days for the sake of the epidemic."

Meng Xilan knew that he was appeasing her, and there were more than a few things to worry about inside and outside the court......

Zhou Youchen saw her drooping her eyes and pondering, and then changed the topic and said, "Old Madam Meng will come to the palace to see you tomorrow morning." Do you rejoice? ”

Meng Xilan pursed her lips and smiled slightly when she heard this. "The concubines naturally rejoice."

Actually, I couldn't talk about it with joy, I just felt that it was time. She counted the days, and she hadn't seen her family in months.

Zhou Youchen patted her on the shoulder: "Wait a while, I still have something to do, you can lie down for a while." ”

He took her by the shoulders, placed her securely on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

Before leaving, Zhou Youchen leaned down and kissed Meng Xilan's bulging belly.

Meng Xilan smiled slightly and watched him leave. Who knows, after he left, she suddenly tightened her brows, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and whispered to Zhulu beside the bed: "Zhulu, quickly find the master." ”

It turned out that she didn't sweat when she slept hot, but was woken up by pain.

Zhu Lu's face changed, and he nodded in response.

When Jiao Changqing rushed over, Meng Xilan was already in cold sweat with pain, her face was as pale as paper, and even her lips were slightly pale.

Jiao Changqing didn't care much, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief and put it on Meng Xilan's wrist, and then stretched out two fingers to check her pulse.

Jiao Changqing's face was heavy, and he was speechless.

Meng Xilan trembled in pain, and she couldn't lie down. Suddenly, she only felt that something was wrong under her, as if there was a hot current gliding through.

Sure enough, I want to see red again.

Meng Xilan's lips trembled, and her breath was like a gossamer; "Master, the child must not be fine."

Jiao Changqing stared at her, his eyes must be shining: "Don't panic, don't be calm." ”

Her heart is unstable, and the pulse qi in her kidneys is insufficient, and if she is not careful, something will happen.

Jiao Changqing had to administer needles to her again, open up her heart, and ask Zhulu to bring ginseng slices and put them in Meng Xilan's mouth, so that she could recuperate and continue her life.

Meng Xilan couldn't sit up anymore, Zhu Lu hurriedly sat down next to the bed, let the master lean on her body, she called softly with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang, you must hold on." ”

Meng Xilan clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

This time the situation was more dangerous than the previous ones, and if she wanted to stabilize her fetal qi, Jiao Changqing had to take a few strong medicines.

However, the most taboo thing to give medicine to pregnant women is to use tiger and wolf medicine, especially with Meng Xilan's now weak body.

Before prescribing the prescription, Jiao Changqing knelt beside Meng Xilan's bed, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, in order to keep the child, Weichen has to use a few strong medicines on Niangniang. In this way, the fetal gas can still be stabilized, but it will damage the mother's body, and it is likely to ......"

Halfway through his words, he stopped talking. This prescription can only solve the immediate need, once Meng Xilan's body is damaged, the condition of her and the child will only become more dangerous.

Meng Xilan was already a little delirious from the pain. She curled up in bed, a hand outstretched, fingertips trembling.

"Master doesn't need to ask...... I'm just going to take medicine......"

For the sake of this child, she has already gambled everything on herself.

This child is here for her, and if something happens to this child, she has no intention of living for anyone anymore.

Jiao Changqing didn't feel at ease to hand over the prescription to others, so he went to the kitchen to boil the medicine in person, tried the poison for her in person, and then watched Meng Xilan drink it slowly.

After only half an hour of medication, Meng Xilan's abdominal pain slowly eased, but her whole body was already tossed to exhaustion, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Zhu Lu looked at Jiao Changqing with red eyes: "My lord, how is Niangniang?" ”

Jiao Changqing was also sweating in a hurry, and said with a long breath: "Niangniang is okay for the time being." ”

For Meng Xilan, this peace is only temporary. Even he can't guarantee what will happen next time?

Meng Xilan, who escaped from the Ghost Gate again, soon fell into a coma.

When she woke up again, it was the next morning.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was naturally Zhou Youchen.

She didn't know when he came back? But when I saw that his eyes were red, I knew that he must not have slept well.

Zhou Youchen didn't sleep all night, guarding Meng Xilan every inch, although Jiao Changqing said that she was fine, but he was still not at ease.

Yesterday, when he hurried back, Zhulu was changing the sheets and bedding for her, and he could see that there was a blood stain on the bed.

The bright red bloodstains were too dazzling, and they also pierced his heart.

After Meng Xilan saw Zhou Youchen, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a shallow smile: "Your Majesty ...... the Emperor"

Zhou Youchen looked at her eyes full of soft light, his heart was inexplicably sour, and he straightened her sideburns for her, and said, "It's so uncomfortable, why are you laughing?" ”

She is always so stubborn, which makes people feel distressed.

Meng Xilan smiled again when she heard this: "The concubine is fine." ”

"Don't say you're okay, I don't believe you'll be okay." Zhou Youchen touched her lips with his fingers and didn't let her continue to speak: "You are so lying down, don't move." ”

Meng Xilan turned her eyes to look out the window, her eyebrows moved, and she continued: "At this hour, shouldn't the emperor be in the court?" ”

Zhou Youchen deliberately frowned and glanced at her when he heard this, "Don't speak, otherwise, I will punish you." ”

Where could Meng Xilan really be afraid of him, and gently patted his hand away: "How is the emperor going to punish me?" ”

Zhou Youchen saw that her eyes were slowly brightening, and he was greatly relieved.

"I want to ...... Punish you like that! He held her face with both hands and kissed her gently along her eyebrows all the way to her cheek, causing Meng Xilan to cry and laugh again and again.

Zhu Lu's face turned red beside him, but he couldn't remind: "Your Majesty, Niangniang's body is weak, don't laugh." ”

Zhou Youchen hurriedly stopped bothering her when he heard this, and when he saw Meng Xilan laughing and panting slightly, he immediately worried: "Lan'er, are you okay?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "The concubine is fine." ”

Today is a day that my grandmother wants to see, Meng Xilan thinks that it is not too early, and it is time for her to get up and freshen up.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to get up and freshen up, so let's go and discuss with the ministers."

Zhou Youchen wanted to accompany her for a while longer, so he sat down for another cup of tea before reluctantly leaving.

Meng Xilan didn't want her grandmother to see her weakness, so she deliberately spent most of the hour and spent a delicate and gorgeous makeup.

The original pale face was covered by blush, the gloomy eyebrows and eyes were covered by the pen, and with the extravagant and gorgeous jewelry, her whole person looked a lot more energetic, not as pale and weak as usual.

However, even if Meng Xilan was so carefully dressed, the first time Mrs. Meng saw her, she could still see that her health was not good.

"Oh my God,...... How did you lose weight like this? ”

The diet of pregnant women has always been meticulous and exquisite, and in addition, there are countless capable people hidden in the imperial dining room in the palace, and the food supplements made will naturally not be bad.

It's just that Meng Xilan's cheeks are so thin that they are sunken, it can be seen that her usual diet is not good, adults don't eat well, how can the child in her belly grow well?

Meng Xilan knew that her grandmother was sharp-eyed and careful, so she said: "There is nothing wrong with this palace, but the harm is a little more serious." ”

Mrs. Meng didn't believe it, and she didn't care about the rules and etiquette in the palace, so she took the initiative to walk to her side, grabbed her hand, and stared wide in shock.

Her hands were cold, even the palms of her hands.

There are two braziers on the left and right sides of the hall, and the fire is burning very strongly.

Not long after she came in and sat down, sweat began to appear on her forehead. And Meng Xilan's clothes are not light, and she smokes a brazier for warmth, why is this hand, why is this body so cold?

There must be something wrong with this......

Mrs. Meng's eyes flashed, and her tone was a little sharp: "Niangniang, please tell the truth to the old body." What the hell is your body...... What's going on? ”

She didn't dare to say those bad words, for fear of committing a taboo.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and a faint bitterness appeared between her eyebrows.

"Grandmother, how is Hongu's body? You know it best, so why should you ask knowingly? ”

At the beginning, all of them thought that she could not have children, just because of the cold poison that year.

Old Mrs. Meng was shocked when she heard this, and was stunned for a moment, before asking: "Before, Niangniang's health was indeed not good, but Niangniang is pregnant this time, which means that there are signs of improvement." Isn't it? ”

Meng Xilan smiled faintly when she heard this: "Grandmother, this child is God's mercy to this palace. It's just that the blessings and misfortunes of this child are safe, and it all depends on the palace to fight for his own life. ”

For the sake of this child, Meng Xilan was willing to give up everything she had, she didn't leave a way out for herself, and similarly, she didn't leave a way out for the Meng family! If something happens to her, her family will be implicated in the same way, losing her position of high power and losing her infinitely bright future.
