The prince has the temper of the prince, and the master brushes his face, and it is inevitable that he will be unhappy in his heart. But if he really likes his master, he shouldn't let his master be wronged for no reason and endure the criticism of others.

"The prince kept saying that he was sincere to his master...... But if you only care about yourself, then what is the use of this sincerity? ”

He was sold to Renyazi by his father and mother when he was three years old, and after several turns, he was sold to the palace as a eunuch. Although his body is disabled, his heart is not confused, the human feelings are warm and the world is hot and cold. If you like someone, you should dig out your heart and lungs, as long as that person is doing well, what is your own hardship and difficulty.

Although high welfare is impulsive, it is also said from the heart. Zhu Qing and Zhu Lu both stared at him incredulously.

Meng Xilan was in a slight trance, and was not angry, but just glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Gao Fuli bit his lip and nodded, and hurriedly followed behind his master.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhou Youlin knelt with his head down, and did not allow any palace people to come forward to approach him and persuade him.

Xiao Dongzi knelt a few steps away from him, his face full of sorrow, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, he raised his head, and suddenly found that Meng Xilan was coming with the palace people, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and stood up tremblingly, limped over, knelt down and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, you can count it as coming, please persuade our prince." He had been on his knees for an hour, and his knee must have been injured...... The prince is so big, he has never knelt down and begged someone. This is the first time ......"

Meng Xilan looked up at Zhou Youlin, his stubborn and straight back, and sighed lightly: "It is reasonable for the prince to protect his mother." ”

Xiao Dongzi respectfully kowtowed to her and said, "Your Highness, please persuade the prince." Your words, the prince will definitely hear in his heart. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes were slightly condensed, and she walked over holding Zhu Lu's hand.

Zhou Youlin could hear the footsteps behind him, and was about to scold, but the tip of his nose smelled a faint fragrance, the person who came was not Xiao Dongzi, but a female dependent...... Don't think about it, it must be her.

Zhou Youlin turned his eyes to look, and sure enough, he saw Meng Xilan standing aside lightly, looking unhappy or disgusted, just looking at herself quietly, so that people couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart right now.

"Lord Wang, it's been more than an hour, get up."

Zhou Youlin's thick eyebrows were slightly invisibly raised, "Aren't you shy away from this king?" Why bother with the king's business? ”

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't misunderstand, prince. I am here at the will of the Queen Mother. ”

Zhou Youlin smiled coldly: "Sure enough, it's ......"

"The prince should get up, the emperor will not see you today."

Meng Xilan persuaded lightly again.

Listening to the palace people, Zhou Shixian stayed in Qixia Palace for two days, guarding the haggard Li Jieyu inch by inch, no one saw him, he didn't even go to the early court, so naturally he wouldn't take care of Zhou Youlin.

Zhou Youlin sank his face: "This king doesn't leave, this king must see his father today." ”

Now, the mother concubine is still grounded in Zhaohua Palace, and she has suffered injustice, and he must not sit idly by.

"Don't be childish, the emperor is in Qixia Palace now, even if you kneel here for a day and a night, it's useless!" Meng Xilan's tone aggravated a little.

"Even if it's childish, it's the king's own business, what does it have to do with you?" Zhou Youlin's tone was indifferent and full of displeasure.

Meng Xilan gathered her thoughts when she heard this, and simply stopped persuading him, but just knelt quietly beside him and waited with him.

Zhou Youlin was shocked, glared at her and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"I was ordered by the Queen Mother to persuade the prince to go back to the house to rest, since the prince refused to go back, I couldn't go back to Cining Palace to hand over to the Queen Mother, so I had to do that." Meng Xilan raised her head, looked at the gilt plaque of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and said a little helplessly.

As soon as she knelt down like this, the bamboo green bamboo dew and Gao Fuli behind her also knelt down.

Zhou Youlin twisted his eyebrows: "You get up for me, this is my mother's business, it has nothing to do with you, you can't be coy here." ”

No matter what he said, Meng Xilan ignored it, silently looked straight ahead, and didn't even look at him.

"Meng Xilan!" Zhou Youlin looked at the delicate and weak person beside him with a gloomy face, and there was annoyance in his dark eyes, but he couldn't do anything to her.

She seems to have a knack for making him happy and making him angry with ease.

After a moment of stalemate, Zhou Youlin was finally defeated, he supported the ground with one hand, stood up first, followed by bending his back, grabbed Meng Xilan's arm, and dragged her whole person up.

The two of them competed with each other, and they were a little unstable for a while, and Zhou Youlin was even more afraid that she would fall and be injured, so he couldn't care about standing firmly, and was busy using his hands to firmly protect her body.

Meng Xilan didn't break away from his hand, just sighed lightly, and said slowly: "Concubine Ning Niangniang was wronged, and she is indeed innocent, but the matter has come to this, it is better to think about it in the future...... The prince is now a prince, and he should put the affairs of the court and politics first, instead of participating in the battle of the harem, Concubine Ning has been favored in the palace for so many years, and she is thoughtful, she must have a way to exonerate herself, and besides, I am in the palace to help well, so the prince is not in a hurry. ”

Li Jieyu's miscarriage must have something strange, and Concubine Ning was innocently wronged, there must be some hidden reason behind it.

Because the two of them were very close, Meng Xilan's voice was also very small, so small that only the two of them could hear it.

Zhou Youlin listened and suddenly fell silent. The originally frowning eyebrows slowly unfolded.

His gaze looked straight at her, his eyes were dim, as if there was a deep meaning: "Don't you hate me very much?" Why do you want to help me? ”

is so hot and cold, it is clear that he intends to torture him.

Meng Xilan pursed her lips: "As a member of the Meng family, it is my duty to support the prince." ”

At the very least, they are still allies, and they are still in a relationship of mutual use.

Zhou Youlin instantly let go of her arm when he heard this, turned his head away and stopped looking at her, took two steps back, and said, "Okay, since you said so, then the king will thank you." ”

Meng Xilan bowed her knees and bowed: "The prince is too polite." ”

Zhou Youlin smiled lightly, his expression returned to normal, he raised his eyes again to look at Meng Xilan, and suddenly asked, "Why are you plain white?" Are you also sad for the child in Li Jieyu's womb? ”

She was wearing a set of moon-white clothes, and her whole body was plain, only her temples were adorned with a few pink silk flowers.

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and she shook her head and said, "It's a pity that the child is innocent." However, my plain clothes are worn for the concubine Niangniang, the mourning period of the concubine Niangniang, there is still a year, this is the ...... I owe her" After speaking, she didn't say a word, turned around and walked away slowly with the palace people.

Zhou Youlin understood the meaning of her words, his heart tightened slightly, looking at her distant back, his mind was disturbed, and he was a little confused. He had expected her to know. After all, she's so smart......

……

In the evening, in the Zhaohua Palace, there was still no bright candle palm lamp.

Murong Qiao sat alone in the dark dormitory, silent and motionless.

Seeing this, the palace people around her couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Niangniang has been grounded for three days, and she has always been like this, silent, and she doesn't even lose her temper. Often sitting alone is half a day's work, and I don't even drink saliva.

After a while, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Yu Niangniang, the prince has already left the palace and returned to the house." ”

Murong Qiao's figure in the shadows moved slightly, as if he was relieved, he was silent for a while, and then asked again: "How long has the prince been kneeling outside the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

"This ...... I think it's been more than an hour. Fortunately, Princess Wenning came over and persuaded the prince to say a few words, otherwise, I don't know how long I have to kneel? ”

When Murong Qiao heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed an arc.

"Niangniang, it's getting dark, the slave maid will give you the lamp." A palace maid stepped forward cautiously.

"What's so scary about getting dark?" Murong Qiao replied lightly.

The darkness of the night is not terrible, because when the sun finally rises again, what she is most worried about is that she will lose the trust and favor of the emperor, and that will be the real darkness.

"Where is the emperor now?" Murong Qiao opened his mouth to ask, and the palace maid beside him swallowed and said, "Back to Niangniang, the emperor is in Qixia Palace......"

"Oh, yes......" Murong Qiao frowned when he heard this, and said nothing more.

It seems that the emperor really cares about Li Jieyu...... He guarded her for two days and two nights, and she had been grounded in this deserted Zhaohua Palace for three whole days...... It's only three days, but to her, it feels like three years, so long that it makes her disheartened!

Early the next morning, Zhou Shixian still did not go to court, so he only asked the recital office to sort out the recitals of the ministers and send them to Qixia Palace for him to review.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very displeased.

"For the sake of a woman, it is really unbelievable to abandon the government for so many days! Come on, prepare a sedan chair for the mourning family, and the mourning family wants to go to Qixia Palace to take a look in person, how amazing is this Li Jieyu, and it is worth the emperor to let go so much? ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Meng Xilan hurriedly persuaded: "The Queen Mother is careful about her body. ”

"The emperor doesn't even pay attention to the government affairs, what does the mourning family want to do with this body? You also go with the mourners. ”

It stands to reason that she taught the emperor a lesson in the past, and she shouldn't let the younger children see it, she did this on purpose to make Zhou Shixian feel embarrassed.

Hearing this, Meng Xilan hurriedly held the arm of the Queen Mother, and went to Qixia Palace in a sedan chair with her.

Zhou Shixian never expected that the Queen Mother would come to Qixia Palace in person, she has been unhappy recently, and now she came here on purpose, no need to ask, it must be him delaying the government.

Li Jieyu has been bedridden, and when she saw the Queen Mother arrive, she had to move off the bed a little bit, Zhou Shixian hurriedly asked her not to move, "You can lie down." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression was immediately displeased, her eyes were as sharp as a knife and turned around Li Jieyu's body, and she said coldly: "Is she made of paper paste, or is she made of water?" I can't even get up and salute! ”

Zhou Shixian lowered his head: "Queen Mother, Li Jieyu has just had a miscarriage, and she can't get out of bed to salute for the time being." ”

"Humph! It's just that there is no child, why should you be so half-dead! The mourning family looks at her very energetic! ”

The queen mother's tone was not good, Li Jieyu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got down from under the bed, knelt down staggeringly and said: "The concubine is panicked, and the concubine asks the queen mother to ...... peace."

Seeing this, Zhou Shixian couldn't help frowning distressedly.

Meng Xilan stood aside, silently looking at Li Jieyu's side face, only to feel that her face was as pale as paper, bloodless, her lips were also white, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried.

It's really strange, just looking at this face, I really can't see any flaws and disguises. She looked sad and haggard, exactly the grief of a mother who had just lost her child. But...... And what's the deal with musk?
