Zhou Youchen stood a few steps away and called her quietly, he took off his hood, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes, and there was an indescribable depth in his tone.

He can't win against her, he can't beat her. I heard that everything was fine outside the palace, but he always felt that there was a hole in his heart, and he couldn't fill it up.

The more lively the palace was, the more lonely he felt, because the person he wanted to see the most was not by his side.

"Meet the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."

Meng Xilan slowly got up to greet her, and Gao Fuli gave Zhu Lu a look at the same time.

Zhulu lowered her head, hurried away in two steps and one step, and did not forget to turn around and quietly close the door tightly, so as not to make it inconvenient for the two masters to speak.

Zhou Youchen looked Meng Xilan up and down before he spoke: "You are really good." ”

To see if a person is doing well or not, just look at her complexion.

A person with a lot of worries can't eat and sleep well.

Meng Xilan bowed her head slightly and said, "On such a big day celebrated by the whole world, how can the emperor leave the palace without permission?" ”

He is really still so willful, impulsive, and reckless.

Zhou Youchen didn't answer her words, just stretched out a hand to her.

Meng Xilan glanced up at him, and then got up and grabbed his broad palm.

Zhou Youchen pushed her forward with a little force, and stood face to face with her.

The close glance made Meng Xilan see the redness in his eyes, and immediately cared: "Why are the emperor's eyes red?" ”

Zhou Youchen smiled and said nothing, looking a little proud.

He had come day and night, barely resting his eyes along the way, only thinking of seeing her.

Meng Xilan vaguely guessed a few points, bit her lip, and didn't say it clearly, but said: "Your Majesty, everything should focus on the overall situation, don't do it again next time." ”

Zhou Youchen leaned over slightly, looked at her gaze, and said, "Don't preach, I have to leave when it's dawn." ”

As she thought and thought, he couldn't leave the capital for too long, especially on such an important day.

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, took his hand, and sat him down.

"The emperor is hungry, right?"

She was about to ask Zhulu to prepare a meal, but Zhou Youchen raised his hand to stop her: "I don't like to eat the food in the temple." ”

Meng Xilan looked at him a little helplessly: "Why is he more and more like a child, now is not the time to pick his mouth." After saying that, she called Zhulu to heat up the food, and made two more snacks by the way.

Zhulu smiled and should be.

Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan, thinking that she had a lot to say to herself.

Who knows, she is even more silent than him.

"You don't have anything to say to me?" Zhou Youchen was the first to lose his breath and opened his mouth to ask.

"Seeing that everything is fine with the emperor, I am relieved."

A trace of disappointment flashed between Zhou Youchen's eyebrows, she no longer shouted at him, but was unnecessarily cautious and polite everywhere.

"How do you know I'm okay?"

Meng Xilan personally poured him tea and said, "If something happens in the capital, my family will bring me a letter." ”

She doesn't live here alone to be isolated. She will know everything she should know.

"Recently, the ministers have been clamoring to choose a concubine for me. Do you know about this? ”

When he reached the age of sixteen, he could already marry a wife and have children, and the new emperor should enrich the harem and give birth to an imperial heir, which is conducive to stabilizing the government.

Meng Xilan's eyelashes trembled slightly, she didn't say she knew or didn't know, she just said quietly: "Congratulations to the emperor, this is a good thing that conforms to the will of the people." ”

"A good thing?" Zhou Youchen raised his eyebrows to look at her, his eyes darkened slightly.

Meng Xilan turned her head, looked at the mottled shadows on the window paper, and said frankly: "The harem is so big, and the emperor is the new monarch to succeed to the throne, how can there be no one with his own heart? ”

She didn't say that to deliberately provoke him. Moreover, there must always be someone by his side.

"Sweetheart? So what are you? "Zhou Youchen never thought of being with other women. In the depths of his heart, those hazy thoughts and forbearance desires are only related to her alone.

She knew that he liked her, but she still had to run, hide, and push him to others.

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the selection of concubines is not to satisfy the personal feelings of your children, but to gather contacts, which is what you need most now." Therefore, even if you don't want to, please be aggrieved for a while, don't blindly oppose it, and don't give others a chance...... No matter what, it's just a show, the emperor is so smart, he will definitely understand. ”

There are times when it comes to men and women who don't need to be too clear. When he should understand, he will naturally understand, and no matter how bad he is, there are still those minions around him.

When Zhou Youchen heard this, he couldn't help laughing. "Acting on the spot...... Hahaha......"

His laughter sounded cold.

His breath blew the candle flame, causing it to flicker and flicker, making his expression look a little gloomy.

"What is the emperor laughing at?" Meng Xilan looked up at him with some sensitivity.

Zhou Youchen put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice: "You are really generous." Who in this world would be as generous as you to let your sweetheart play with other women. ”

Meng Xilan also looked at Zhou Youchen, seeing the thick displeasure in his eyes, her voice turned slightly soft: "It is a big crime to bully the king. However, I still have to tell the truth to the emperor today, I have never regarded you as my sweetheart. Chen'er, you are my relative, or someone closer than my relative. You and I have relied on each other all the way, and until now, we have all got what we wanted, and we have all found our own path. If you need me, I will always be there for you, but you must always understand one thing, I am just a person you can trust and rely on, but not a woman who can bear children for you. ”

She was poisoned by cold incense, although Jiao Changqing didn't say it to her, but the meaning of the words was obvious, that is, her body, it was difficult to get pregnant.

She only felt sorry and liked him, but she never had desire, and even when he hugged her tightly, she could still remain calm and her heart was like water. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that this liking is too simple to tolerate the slightest impurity.

Zhou Youchen heard this and thought silently.

What is this? She clearly still didn't want to be with him.

"Meng Xilan, are you testing me? Or torment me? A haze gathered between Zhou Youchen's eyebrows, his nose opened and closed slightly, and he stood up with anger.

Meng Xilan was about to say something to appease, but he pulled him up. He grabbed her wrist with one hand, untied his own coat and cloak with the other, looked at her with a frown, and then forced her to the bed step by step.

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised, and looked at him uneasily: "Your Majesty...... This is a pure place of Buddhism. ”

He shouldn't have been so impulsive, he and she really didn't need to get this far.

"Speaking of reasoning, I can never talk to you, okay, then I'll just listen to you. But before you go back, how about you and I have a show? ”

Zhou Youchen deliberately looked down at her, his chin lightly pressed against the tip of her nose, exchanging breaths with each other.

They were close, but not close.

Meng Xilan's mind was slightly confused, and her body was full of emotions of resistance, but she couldn't resist Zhou Youchen's brute strength, so she could only retreat step by step, stay to the edge of the bed, and had to sit down on her knees.

Zhou Youchen stood in front of her, stretched out his hand, wanted to tear her neckline, and touched her collarbone.

Meng Xilan's whole body trembled, she simply closed her eyes, bit her lip and stopped talking.

She had nothing to give him, and if she had to, she wouldn't have a chance to struggle anymore.

Zhou Youchen suddenly stopped, held her shoulders with both hands, took a deep breath and said, "I just want to accompany you today, I don't want to hurt you." I was tired and wanted to rest for a while. After saying that, he let go of her, went directly to the bedside and sat down, and lay directly on his back.

Anger and lust can't sway his sincerity. If you really like someone, you won't be willing to hurt her half a point, even if she has already hurt him first.

After a while, Zhou Youchen seemed to be really asleep.

His breathing was steady and steady, with a regular breathing sound.

Meng Xilan subconsciously touched her collar, then got up and was covered with the quilt by Zhou Youchen, and picked up the big coat and cloak that he had thrown on the ground before, and folded them neatly and put them away.

After cleaning up, she went back to the bed and sat down, looked at Zhou Youchen's sleeping face, and thought a lot silently.

Suddenly, Zhou Youchen turned over, turned his back, and suddenly said, "Next time, I don't know what I will do......"

The voice, a little hoarse, sounded very tired.

Meng Xilan didn't speak, just tightened the quilt for him.

She hoped that there would never be a next time. He and she just don't cross the line and live their lives together.

Zhou Youchen got up after sleeping for less than an hour, his face was expressionless, he looked at Meng Xilan, who had not slept all night, and said lightly: "I'm leaving." ”

Meng Xilan got up to send him off, and didn't say a word to keep him.

Zhou Youchen deliberately said again: "The next time I come to see you, I don't know when it will be." ”

"Please put state affairs first, everything is fine with me here." Meng Xilan said as she helped him put on his coat and tie his cloak with her own hands.

She was still acting without flaws, gentle and calm, as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Youchen stroked her face, originally wanted to be ruthless to the end, turned around and left. As a result, I couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the forehead.

Meng Xilan was not angry, and stretched out her hands to hug him, "Take care of your body and rest well." ”

She really couldn't say any emotional love words, only this one word of advice to him.

Zhou Youchen pondered for a moment before nodding "um".

In the past, they always had a lot to say, but now, what they could talk to each other became less and less.

Maybe by the time they meet the next time, they'll be silent and have nothing to say.
