In the evening, Gao Fuli came back from an errand outside the palace, and was about to meet the master, but was blocked by the red bamboo dew in her eyes, and she said sullenly: "Don't go in, the master is sleeping." ”

Gao Fuli frowned slightly: "Slept?" So early? ”

Zhu Lu nodded again and again.

Gao Fuli was sharp-eyed and careful, but he felt that something was wrong, and left without saying anything. However, he deliberately went around in a circle, walked to the half-hidden window, and looked inside.

It didn't matter, he almost collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhulu couldn't help but be anxious, walked over and grabbed him by the collar, took him to the corner, and asked, "How dare you peek at the master?" ”

Gao Fuli was also anxious, brushed her hand away, and said in a low voice: "Is now the time to care about this?" How can the master sleep with the ninth master? If something happens, it's ......"

Zhulu glared at him: "What can happen?" You can't trust the Ninth Master, can't you still trust the master? Besides, the ninth master is here, I'm still relieved......"

Now there is only one person who can comfort the master, the ninth master.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Zhulu instantly burst into tears, squatted down and choked up.

Gao Fuli also squatted down and looked at her with a distressed expression: "You are talking." ”

Zhulu said the matter intermittently.

After listening to this, Gao Fuli couldn't help but weaken his legs and sat on the ground. He was also confused, why was everything wrong in just one afternoon?

"It's over, it's over...... Gao Fuli muttered unconsciously: "The master was really killed by the Queen Mother this time!" ”

When Zhulu heard this, she lowered her head and cried even more fiercely.

After so many years of careful management and so many years of perseverance, I thought that the good days of the master had finally come, and he could leave the palace smoothly and live in peace. Unexpectedly, he was tortured like this by God......

Just as the two were squatting in the corner and wiping away their tears, Meng Xilan in the dormitory was sleeping very deeply, so heavy that she didn't even move.

Although Zhou Youchen also closed his eyes, he remained awake from beginning to end. He silently counted her breaths, once, twice, three times......

Counting and counting, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a deep solemnity in his eyes.

When Zhou Youchen left, it was already dark outside.

Zhulu and Zhuqing guarded the outer hall, with a dignified face.

watched him walk out, and slowly got up and saluted: "Ninth Master." ”

Zhou Youchen groaned: "Take good care of her." ”

Zhulu lowered her head and choked: "Yes......"

Zhou Youchen did not go back to the East Fourth Institute, but went to the Tai Hospital, and he went to Jiao Changqing.

Jiao Changqing was dispensing medicine, and when he saw him coming, his eyes sank, and then he asked, "Why is Your Highness here?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Zhou Youchen shook his head: "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's her." ”

Jiao Changqing frowned and thought about it, and knew who he was talking about. In this palace, the only thing he cares about is Meng Xilan.

Jiao Changqing's face changed, and he hurriedly packed the medicine box and prepared to go to Cining Palace for a consultation.

Zhou Youchen didn't go with him, but behind him, he admonished: "Master Jiao, you must help her." ”

Jiao Changqing paused, turned to look at him, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Zhou Youchen didn't speak, just turned around silently and strode away.

Jiao Changqing came to Cining Palace thoughtfully, and soon learned about it from Zhulu Zhuqing's mouth.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with the Queen Mother's edict.

Jiao Changqing looked at Meng Xilan, who was asleep, and didn't think much about it, so he was busy checking her pulse.

Thankfully, she didn't look fine.

"How long has your master been asleep?" Jiao Changqing retreated to the outside room and asked.

"Back to my lord, it's been almost three hours." Zhulu said worriedly.

Jiao Changqing thought slightly when he heard this, and then sat down quietly.

"Alright, I'll wait here."

Zhulu nodded: "With adults here, it's naturally best." ”

Suddenly, Meng Xilan turned over and woke up, she opened her eyes and looked at the veil on the bed, and after a little relief, she sat up and said, "Zhulu, I'm hungry." ”

Zhu Lu was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at her cautiously: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Meng Xilan's eyes were still red and swollen, but her tone was very calm, and she only said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry." ”

Zhulu nodded a little panicked: "Okay, the slave will go and prepare." Master...... What does the master want to eat? ”

"Anything goes, as long as it's hot."

Meng Xilan replied lightly. I don't know if it's because she slept and felt comfortable, or because she had already adapted to such an instantaneous life.

Meng Xilan kept thinking about why the Queen Mother always told her repeatedly when she was dying to let her stay by her side. Originally, she was just afraid of being lonely, afraid that when she thought of Changle, she wouldn't be able to see her face around her. However, today, Meng Xilan finally figured it out that the Queen Mother wanted her to be Changle's stand-in for the rest of her life.

Such thoughts, perversely, perhaps, may be selfish, but it has already happened. Meng Xilan knew that she had nowhere to hide, so she could only deal with it head-on.

When Jiao Changqing walked in, a distressed expression flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled reluctantly: "Master, I'm in big trouble now." ”

Jiao Changqing walked up to her and stood with his hands behind his back: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Meng Xilan put away her smile and shook her head, "I don't know either." I may have to continue to gamble, and if I win the bet, I will be safe, and if I lose, I will be safe, but I will be dirty. ”

Jiao Changqing was stunned when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect her to say this, but what she said was the truth.

"The master came just in time, did you also hear the news?" Meng Xilan calmed down, thinking about the reason why he was here.

Could it be that Zhulu and Zhuqing are too talkative?

Jiao Changqing seemed to guess her thoughts, and only said, "It was the Ninth Master who asked me to come." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, and only said, "I don't have a big deal, but I was a little shocked just now." ”

She deliberately understated it, not wanting the whole family to worry about her together.

Jiao Changqing hesitated for a moment before he said, "If there is anything that needs to be Weichen, His Highness just needs to speak." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly and nodded heavily. "Of course."

She did need his help, and when the last resort came, his medical skills could help her out.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Meng entered the palace. The moment the grandparents and grandchildren met, the old lady burst into tears and couldn't say a word.

Thousands of calculations, everything has been calculated, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so ruthless.

Meng Xilan held her grandmother's hand and said tightly: "Grandmother, don't cry, if it wasn't for the suddenness, I don't want to make my grandmother sad." It's just that I've got it now, and I have to think of a way. ”

Mrs. Meng stopped her tears and said, "Okay, you say, what do you want Grandmother to do?" ”

"The emperor has a heart for me, there must be some reason for this. I'm not completely sure, but maybe it has something to do with the prince......" Meng Xilan spent a night sorting out her thoughts, only to feel that things were not as simple as she seemed to think.

Mrs. Meng sighed slightly: "Lan'er, no matter who this matter is related to, how should you solve your predicament now?" ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said, "My predicament is not difficult to solve, just pretend to be sick." ”

With Jiao Changqing here, it was easy for her to pretend to be sick and confused. It's just that this is not a long-term solution, and she can't live her life in the palace with illness.

Malinger? Mrs. Meng was stunned when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a good way. No one likes a sick woman, not to mention, the emperor is just on a whim, and it is easy to make his heart cold.

Old Lady Meng's face softened slightly: "You think carefully." ”

Meng Xilan said quietly: "I thought I could leave the palace earlier, but now I'm afraid it won't be." ”

The grandfather and grandson couldn't help but be silent for a while, secretly sad.

Suddenly, Meng Xilan suddenly straightened her waist, looked at her grandmother and smiled: "Grandmother, in life, everyone has their own destiny, perhaps, this is my fate." ”

Old Lady Meng frowned distressedly: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Grandmother, I'm content now." Meng Xilan was telling the truth. "I can't want everything."

Without Zhou Shili, without such invisible conspiracies and tricks, as long as the family is safe, what does it matter where she is?

After calming down, Meng Xilan figured out one thing, that is, the purpose of her life again, and she had already achieved it.

Meng Xiyue has never stepped out of the Hou Mansion again in her life, and Zhou Shili will be beheaded after the autumn, and she will no longer be able to make waves. So, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"No, do you want to pretend to be sick in the palace for the rest of your life?" Old Lady Meng choked up.

"Not for a lifetime." Meng Xilan said in a deep voice.

In his previous life, Zhou Shixian died before he was sixty years old, and now, he is fifty-five, and there are only a few years left. After taking 10,000 steps back, as long as she survives the past few years, she still has hope of leaving the palace.

Don't say it's pretending to be sick, even if it's to let her spend the rest of her life with the ancient Buddha of the green light,

Mrs. Meng couldn't speak in distress, but just clenched her hand.

"Originally, I asked my grandmother to come over to give me ideas. But now I have figured it out, and when my grandmother goes back, she will persuade my father and brother to do something for me, and not let them act impulsively. ”

Old Lady Meng looked at her again and again, and finally nodded.

After making up her mind, Meng Xilan's heart also calmed down. Before, the dim sense of loss was all gone, and every word and deed was back to normal, and as always, she kept filial piety for the Queen Mother.

Murong Qiao only heard that she had been sick for two days, but he didn't know that she already had an idea in her heart.

When she went to Cining Palace again, to her surprise, Meng Xilan in front of her was refreshed and smiling, without the slightest panic and shock that day.

When Meng Xilan saw her for the first time, her eyes sank slightly, and then she regained her clarity, and said with a sweet smile: "Say hello to Niangniang." ”

Murong Qiao looked at her thoughtfully, and had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

What's wrong with her? Why did you suddenly change your face? Did you figure it out, or did you have some other idea?
