Chapter 585: Like a World Away (2)
In the deserted and empty dormitory, there was silence, and only a few eunuchs were left behind.
Gao Fuli hurriedly came out and looked a little nervous when he saw Meng Xilan. Niangniang is still in confinement, how can she move around at will.
"Mother, why are you here?" As he spoke, he went to Chu Ansheng's side and asked him to give up his place. Chu Ansheng immediately took a step back. Jiao Changqing followed, and the three of them walked with Meng Xilan.
Meng Xilan looked at the eunuchs kneeling on both sides, her eyes condensed slightly, "Why do they look like they are all fresh faces?" "She has always been sensitive to the people in the palace, and she can remember the people she has seen, even if they are just in a hurry.
Gao Fuli steadily supported Meng Xilan and replied: "They are all illiterate mutes, they are the most stable and can't talk nonsense."
The people who serve the emperor are all trained by Gao Welfare. They were sent only at his command, ignoring everything else, and were completely faithful.
"How is the emperor today?" Meng Xilan asked lightly, her mood and steps were a little heavy.
"Hui Niangniang...... The emperor is not bad today, and after waking up, he used half a bowl of porridge. ”
It turned out that he was awake.
Meng Xilan's footsteps hesitated slightly. Gao Fuli felt it, and couldn't help but slow down, and only said: "Niangniang, why don't you wait for His Highness to sleep, are you going in?"
The mother and the emperor haven't seen each other for a long time, and their feelings are inevitably entangled.
Zhou Youchen was awake for half a day every day, and the rest of the day was in a state of sleeplessness.
"No, this palace is going to see the emperor now." Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said.
She's not the kind of person who will run away, and since she's here, why don't you hide it?
Gao Fufu took a quick step and stretched out a hand to lift the curtain leading to the inner sanctum.
The moment the thick curtain was opened, Meng Xilan saw a long-lost and familiar figure.
Dressed in green clothes, he stood sideways, slender and straight, black hair casually hanging down on his shoulders, slightly covering his face, she couldn't see his expression, and she couldn't touch his sight, Meng Xilan took a few steps forward a little eagerly, and she suddenly couldn't wait to look at him and look at his eyes.
Today, the sun is shining, and the light outside the window is shining through, making him glow up and down his body, and in his eyes, it is so magical.
"The Emperor's ......"
When she was about to walk to Zhou Youchen's side, Meng Xilan spoke softly.
Zhou Youchen didn't move when he heard the words, he still stood quietly by the window, as if he didn't hear it.
Meng Xilan's eyebrows moved, and she only heard Gao Fuli say: "Niangniang, the emperor doesn't know anyone now, he is slow to react, what he hears and what he sees will not react easily." ”
In fact, Meng Xilan had already known that after Zhou Youchen was drugged, the whole person was delirious. But when she saw it with her own eyes, she still cared a little in her heart.
Now, the spring flowers are blooming outside, and there is no longer a stove in the palace. But in Zhou Youchen's bedroom, several charcoal basins were added, and the entire dormitory was smoked warm, but Meng Xilan's heart was still cold.
At this time, Jiao Changqing stepped forward at the right time: "Niangniang, the emperor is delirious, you have to be careful." After speaking, he leaned a little closer, lowered his voice and said, "Although the emperor is powerless now, he still needs the control of the decoction. Moreover, the emperor has never had the opportunity to see Niangniang before, and now that he sees him again, his heart will inevitably be turbulent. ”
Jiao Changqing has always been stable in doing things, and Meng Xilan's insistence on coming here today was unexpected.
Meng Xilan's heart sank slightly when she heard this.
Be careful? He's already become like this, what else do you have to watch out for him? This palace is full of her people, whether he is confused or sober, what else can he do with himself?
"It's okay, this palace has its own measure."
Meng Xilan continued to walk forward, walked in front of Zhou Youchen, and looked into his eyes.
This look actually made Meng Xilan feel in a trance.
Zhou Youchen's eyes were originally dark brown, only amber in the sun, but as he grew older, his eyes became darker, but now, his eyes have become slightly pale and have completely become amber.
His eyes were dull, like a pool of stagnant water, and there was nothing in them.
Meng Xilan's eyes rippled.
Did he really not know her?
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here." She still murmured to him, her eyes fixed on his face, his eyes, his lips, trying to find any subtle expression in his face, even if it was just a little. However, Zhou Youchen still didn't react, his eyes seemed to be unable to see her at all. No, he didn't seem to see anyone at all......
The former Zhou Youchen was handsome and upright, with the domineering spirit of being the pride of the sky in his gestures, sharp sword eyebrows, tight lips, and his eyes, always with a fierce gaze that was not angry and self-threatening, making people nowhere to avoid and nowhere to hide.
Jiao Changqing stood a few steps away, looking at Meng Xilan's trance-like expression, his thick eyebrows frowning.
Why is there still distress in her eyes? Is she going to be soft-hearted again......
Just thinking about it, Meng Xilan slowly stretched out her hands and picked up Zhou Youchen's face, just caressing, but didn't dare to use force. Her eyes didn't look at anyone, just stared at Zhou Youchen.
"The concubine is late, the emperor is not strange." After saying this, she smiled, and her smile was a little sad.
Zhou Youchen still didn't react, Meng Xilan sighed softly, and gave up the idea of testing him in her heart.
"Chen'er, it's okay for you to be like this now, so that we can be together peacefully."
Even if it's just guarding a shell, she's willing to. At the very least, they will never be suspicious of each other and hurt each other again.
Who knows, just after Meng Xilan said the word "Chen'er", Zhou Youchen's eyes, which had been blank and empty, turned slightly, and he lowered his eyelids, as if he was looking at her, but not at her.
Such a slight reaction made Meng Xilan secretly startled.
She gently brushed away the long hair beside his face, and spoke again: "Chen'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sure enough, Zhou Youchen's gaze moved again, and his gaze gradually fixed on Meng Xilan's body.
Gao Fuli and Jiao Changqing behind him were all shocked.
What's going on? The emperor has not reacted to people for a long time. Why?
Jiao Changqing immediately stepped forward, grabbed Meng Xilan's arm without any scruples, and dragged her to his side.
It was just a short moment, Zhou Youchen, who was originally as stunned as a stone statue, moved suddenly, his eyes looked at Meng Xilan, stretched out his big hand, grabbed Meng Xilan's wrist, and directly dragged her back.
He had been bedridden for half a year, and he should have been weak and had no strength at all. But he was still able to exert his strength suddenly, and he dragged Meng Xilan back in an instant.
Meng Xilan stumbled under her feet, almost fell, and fell directly into Zhou Youchen's arms.
Meng Xilan snorted lightly, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her back.
What's wrong with him?
Gao Fuli was also stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness...... Mother......
Zhou Youchen hugged her and didn't let go, and then there was silence.
Jiao Changqing's eyes widened and he looked at Zhou Youchen in disbelief.
He can't be wrong with his medication, it's impossible! He still recognizes the mother?
Just when everyone was thinking differently, Zhou Youchen suddenly let go of Meng Xilan again, covered his head with both hands, and frowned silently.
Meng Xilan did panic for a moment, but she still stabilized her mind and tried to calm down: "Imperial Doctor Jiao, you hurry up and go over to see Your Highness." ”
Zhou Youchen's expression now seemed to be very uncomfortable.
Gao Fuli hurriedly called someone over, and everyone controlled Zhou Youchen, almost half-pushed him to the bed, and then found a bottle of potion out of nowhere and gave him a drink directly.
Those little eunuchs are really not afraid of death, one is heavier than the other, and they don't realize that the person who was pressed down on the bed by them is the current emperor!
He is the Ninety-Five, but now he doesn't even know who he is.
Jiao Changqing was condescending, looking at him with a gloomy face, and his eyes were even colder.
Meng Xilan watched all this happen, and felt uneasy in a trance, and there was also emotion in the uneasiness.
Chu Ansheng is obviously the calmest one among everyone.
He stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, you better go out first." ”
Meng Xilan held his arm, turned around and walked out, but did not go back, just waited quietly in the outer hall, full of silence.
Suddenly, Jiao Changqing came out of the inner hall, rolled up his cuffs, and his face was heavy.
He came to Meng Xilan and knelt down without saying a word.
"Weichen is guilty, so that the mother is frightened."
Meng Xilan looked at him when she heard this, and asked slowly, "How is the emperor?" ”
Jiao Changqing lowered his head and replied: "The emperor is now asleep, as for today's matter, this Weichen has to observe it slowly to know the reason." ”
The medicines he used for the emperor were all prepared by him personally, and there was never a mistake.
Zhou Youchen was delirious, he couldn't even remember Gao Welfare for several months, why did he still remember his mother?
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes to look at him, and said with a faint gaze: "The emperor still remembers this palace." Jiao Changqing, the promises you made before are all nonsense. ”
Her voice was slow, which made Jiao Changqing's back cold.
"Niangniang, Weichen is guilty!"
"You don't have to explain anything to this palace, this palace is worried about the crown prince...... He couldn't know much. ”
Jiao Changqing nodded hurriedly: "Weichen understands." ”
Chu Ansheng looked at Jiao Changqing, who was completely imposing in front of Meng Xilan, and felt that he was like a loyal dog.
Why? Would he be so loyal to Meng Xilan?
Jiao Changqing...... He even dared to murder the emperor! What else did he not dare to do?
After Meng Xilan calmed down a little, she returned to the inner room.
At this time, Zhou Youchen had already slept quietly.
Gao Fuli was making the bed curtain for him, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
Meng Xilan shook her head and looked through the bed curtain, faintly seeing Zhou Youchen's face.
The profile of his face is like an axe cut with sharp edges.
I haven't seen him for a long time, but she still misses him.
Meng Xilan stared quietly for a while, and then asked Gao Fuli: "In the past few months that you have been by His Highness's side, has he recognized you?" ”
Gao Fuli shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Since, His Highness has used ...... After that, he gradually lost his ability to remember anything. He couldn't remember the minions for a long time, even if the minions turned around in front of his eyes every day...... The emperor also doesn't remember. ”
When he said this, he suddenly became a little anxious and stopped.
Meng Xilan sighed lightly when she heard this, looked at the sleeping Zhou Youchen, and muttered softly: "He obviously doesn't remember anything, but why does he still remember this palace?" ”
Gao Fuli followed her gaze and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, you are the most important person in Your Highness." His Highness knew you when he was a child. ”
She is a person who has been integrated into his blood, how can she be easily erased? That affection is not something that Jiao Changqing can easily block, the emperor's closeness to Niangniang is instinctive.
Meng Xilan was silent when she heard this, but she was silent, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.
……
Ever since the three side concubines beside the prince appeared in front of the queen, Xie Zhenzhen felt that she had fallen out of favor in front of the prince and the mother.
The prince summoned the three of them for three days in a row, but did not come to see her.
Xie Zhenzhen's heart was mindful, but she still went with the flow and didn't take action.
If the prince didn't come, she would be upset, but there were things in the palace that upset her.
For a whole afternoon, her mind was in a mess, and in the end she couldn't help but throw the tea bowl and lose her temper.
Seeing this, Mama Chen, who was beside her, hurriedly sent away the little palace maid in the house, stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, why are you bothering?" It's useless for you to sulk like this, if you're really uncomfortable, why don't you just bring something and see Your Highness......"
Before she could finish her words, Xie Zhenzhen raised her head and glared at her.
"Mama, what you said is light. His Royal Highness is worried about the disaster in the northwest, and the palace is now in the past, and it will only be disgusted. ”
After entering the palace for so long, she finally figured out His Highness's temper. He is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will never mention more about the affairs of the court in the harem. And the women of the harem can't move around rashly, especially when they go to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule. If the prince doesn't come, she won't be in a rut.
Mama Chen's eyes rolled, and she said, "Niangniang...... The slave maid has another trick......"
When Xie Zhenzhen saw the look on her face, she knew that it was not a good way.
Sure enough, she was trying to make herself feign illness.
"If Niangniang is unwell, His Royal Highness will definitely come."
Xie Zhenzhen was silent when she heard this, and she was reluctant in her heart.
She is an upright princess, do she still have to use such a childish trick as pretending to be sick in order to compete for favor?
Mama Chen saw that she was silent, as if she guessed her thoughts, and said: "Niangniang, now is not the time to care, it is right to see His Highness." ”
Niangniang has only been in the palace for half a year, and now is a good time to stabilize her position, how can she easily let the three side concubines steal the limelight. Especially Zhou Yan'er, with her appearance, it is not difficult to charm the prince at all.
"The slave will release the news, and then make some suggestions to the people around His Highness, so as to ensure that His Highness will care."
Xie Zhenzhen opened the teacup and took a sip of tea, tightened her eyebrows and said, "Then let's do it." ”
Meek and kind, naturally cute, but now she has to think about herself.
