For Chu Jingchuan, Meng Xilan is not as affectionate as her brother thought. She just didn't want to bear him again, delaying his life in vain. She has only affection for him, but she has no affection.

Meng Xi looked at her sister's face that wanted to speak and stopped, and she was silent for a while. She is a measured person, she must have her own plans in her heart, even if the prince has a heart, she can only stop it in the end.

Early the next morning, everyone set off early. Zhou Youlin and Meng Xilan got into their respective carriages and drove all the way towards the city gate.

Before leaving, Zhou Youlin looked at Meng Xilan opposite through a layer of car curtains. I saw that her eyebrows and eyes were calm, and she still looked calm, as if nothing had happened last night......

The road was quite safe, and when he arrived at the city gate, Meng Xizhao took Zhou Youlin's waist card to see the city guards. When they saw the gold medal of the dragon tattoo, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to send a message to King Jingzhao Yin.

In less than half an hour, Lord Wang hurried over, and when he saw Zhou Youlin coming to the city gate, he immediately knelt down to say goodbye, and said respectfully: "Weichen asks Prince Xian for peace, and the prince is a thousand years old." ”

The Fourth Highness is still alive! He's alive!

A few days ago, Zhou Youlin was dead and dead, and everyone thought he was dead. I heard that even the palace is going to start arranging funerals for him...... Unexpectedly, there was still room for things to turn around.

Zhou Youlin looked at him coldly and said, "Lord Wang, please get up." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Lord Wang got up slowly, and saw Zhou Youlin hand over the waist card to him, "My lord guards the capital, if this king wants to walk into this city gate, he has to make it convenient for him." ”

Lord Wang took it with trepidation, and there was a feeling of anxiety in his heart: "Weichen didn't dare to stop the prince, but the prince's body...... The disease of the epidemic, do not slack off, the emperor's order is in the body, and the ministers must not be violated! ”

"Don't be afraid, my lord, this king's disease has already been cured by Imperial Doctor Jiao's prescription. The king returned safely, and now he just wants to go back to the palace to restore his father's life and let his mother feel at ease. ”

Zhou Youlin's tone was light, as if he had completely put aside the previous life and death matters.

Lord Wang stared at him for a while, only to feel that although he looked a little thin, he was in good spirits, especially a pair of eyes, shining and revealing a sharp brilliance.

That's right, Jiao Changqing's recital was sent early in the morning, but before the emperor could speak, the fire in the suburbs burned.

"Wechen understands, and I also ask the prince to rest on the Wechen Mansion for the time being......"

At the moment, the prince can't go back to the palace, but he can't just find a place for him to rest, only his mansion can be worthy of his identity and status. The dignified mansion of Jing Zhaoyin is naturally gorgeous and magnificent. But Meng Xilan didn't want to go, she wanted to go back to her own home.

After more than half a month's effort, the people in the family must have been waiting anxiously.

Zhou Youlin saw her salute and say goodbye to him, and he didn't ask why, there was a faint indifference in his eyes: "The princess has made up her mind, how can this king stop it?" ”

Before returning to the palace, she was still "free", and he had no reason to stop her, not to mention that she didn't appreciate herself.

Meng Xilan also had a calm face, he was a smart person, and he should also know the general situation.

"Thank you, my father and brother are safe and sound now, and they should go home to recuperate, so as not to worry about their families." Meng Xilan stood upright, her face full of gentleness.

Brother Yun is almost full moon, and the eldest brother has not seen him with his own eyes and hugged him.

Zhou Youlin let out a soft "um" and flicked his sleeves, as if he didn't care.

Meng Xilan and he were estranged from him, but she said goodbye to Jiao Changqing cordially, she looked at him and smiled slightly: "My lord, let's go back to the palace and see you again." ”

Jiao Changqing's eyes shone slightly: "Weichen obeys." ”

"My lord, don't forget our agreement. After returning to the palace, you will be my master. Meng Xilan deliberately reminded him not to let him regret it.

"Wechen doesn't dare to forget." Jiao Changqing replied lightly after avoiding the serious.

The wheels of the carriage were spinning around, and when they arrived at the gate of the Zhu family, it was already evening.

The lantern under the porch lit up, and Meng Xilan's heart lit up with it.

The subordinates of the Meng family saw that the third master and several young masters had all returned, and they were panicked and confused for a while, and they were busy kneeling on the ground, but they forgot to report to the old lady. It's just that the people in front of her made such a big commotion, and it was difficult for Mrs. Meng not to be alarmed in the main courtyard, and when she learned that her son and grandson had returned safely, the old lady didn't think much about it, and hurriedly rushed over in a panic to take a look.

Meng Zhenglu knelt in the center of the courtyard, bowed to his mother, and bowed his head: "The son is not filial, so that the mother is worried!" ”

Meng Xizhao and Meng Xiran also knelt down together.

Old Mrs. Meng watched the three of them appear neatly in front of her, her eyes instantly reddened, and she walked over to support Meng Zhenglu's shoulders and asked him to stand up: "You make Weiniang worry so hard." ”

Meng Zhenglu's eyes also flashed with tears, "Mother, my son is fine." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Bodhisattva bless, you have finally returned safely. Mrs. Meng said with emotion.

These days, she kneels in front of the Buddha every day to chant and pray for blessings, if Meng Zhenglu is gone, the pillars of the Meng family will be gone.

While speaking, Qiao Huiyun appeared in the courtyard with her swaddling clothes, and when she saw Meng Xizhao appear here unscathed, she smiled lightly, and tears were already pouring down.

"Xianggong ......" her crying provoked Brother Yun in her infancy to cry too.

Hearing his son's cry, Meng Xizhao's figure shook slightly, and he stepped forward step by step, and said, "This is Brother Yun'er......"

Qiao Huiyun lowered his head and coaxed his son, and only sent the swaddling clothes to Meng Xizhao. "Well, he is Brother Yun, our son."

Meng Xizhao smiled softly, stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to take it or hug it, and when he looked down, he saw a round little face, grinning and crying fiercely.

The child's small eyebrows and eyes are squeezed together, and he can't look at it carefully, but even if he doesn't look carefully, he still likes it very much.

"Xianggong, you hug it." Qiao Huiyun held back her tears, just wanted him to be close to her son.

Meng Xizhao hesitated, but still took his son over, he didn't hold the child, he only stretched out his arms, let his son lie horizontally between his arms, one end to protect his son's head, the other to protect his son's feet.

Meng Xilan couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward with a smile and took Brother Yun over, hugged him in her arms, and joked to him: "Brother is really stupid." ”

As soon as this Yun Ge'er arrived in her arms, he immediately stopped crying, and looked at her with a pair of black grape-like eyes, as if he knew her.

Meng Xizhao smiled slightly when he saw this, "You still have a way." ”

Meng Xilan hugged Brother Yun to his father and second brother, Meng Zhenglu grabbed his grandson's little hand, and said with peace of mind: "Good boy, he is a good child of our Meng family." ”

Mrs. Meng put away her tears and told everyone to hurry into the house and sit together to talk.

At this time, although it was already spring, the warm kang in the old lady's house was still burned hot, and the girls and mothers-in-law went in and out, only serving tea and fruit and snacks in the same way.

Meng Xilan sat beside her grandmother with Brother Yun in her arms, looked at her carefully, and said lovingly: "Our Brother Yun has really grown up, and he is meaty." ”

Qiao Huiyun didn't shy away from it, and only let her hug enough. The epidemic is gone, and she, who is an aunt, naturally wants to be closer to Brother Yun.

There have been so many things that have happened in the past half a month, and I can't tell you for a while.

Mrs. Meng said with emotion: "Things can be said slowly, it is rare that our family is neat and tidy, and all of them are safe and sound." ”

Meng Zhenglu and Meng Xiran's bodies were still very weak, and Mrs. Meng asked them to go back to rest first, and also let Meng Xizhao and Qiao Huiyun go back for a good reunion.

Meng Xilan handed Brother Yun back to her sister-in-law and smiled slightly: "Ming'er, I'll go to see him again, sister-in-law can sleep peacefully tonight." ”

Qiao Huiyun smiled happily and looked back at Meng Xizhao, her eyes full of tenderness. Meng Xizhao also smiled, stretched out his long arms, and firmly surrounded his wife and children, in addition to being satisfied, he was still satisfied.

This kind of scene is what Meng Xilan wants to see the most.

All the arrangements stopped, and Mrs. Meng only left Meng Xilan in the room, and the subordinates understood the master's eyes and avoided them one after another.

Mrs. Meng was silent for a long time, just sat on the kang, looked at Meng Xilan, and then looked at the tea bowl on the table. At this moment, no one knows the complexity in her heart, no one knows.

Meng Xilan clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said slowly, "Grandmother, please punish Lan'er." ”

Old Lady Meng looked at Meng Xilan for a while before she said, "Why should I punish you?" ”

"Because Lan'er advocated without authorization and risked her life, she should be punished!" Meng Xilan replied honestly.

At the beginning, I was impulsive in a moment,

"So you know...... Do you still understand......" Old Lady Meng sighed and wanted to say something more, but she couldn't say anything.

Meng Xilan saw her grandmother suddenly burst into tears, and hurriedly knelt down in front of her: "Grandmother...... Lan'er knew she was wrong. ”

She confessed to her like a child who had done something wrong.

Old Madam Meng stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, as if sighing: "Why? Why do you ...... Don't you even know that you are afraid? ”

To this day, she still can't figure out her granddaughter's thoughts.

Meng Xilan knelt down a few steps, tilted her head on her grandmother's knees, her eyes were wide open, but there was not a single tear, she only said quietly: "I was just scared at the time...... I'm afraid that something will happen to my father, I'm afraid that something will happen to my brothers, and I'm afraid that I'll just be in vain in the end. ”

If something happens to her father and her brother is uneasy, then what is the point of her living again? If she can't protect the family she wants to protect, what's the use of her staying in the palace?

Mrs. Meng seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and the strength in her hand was a little heavier: "You kid, it's really hard to guess." ”

is obviously a child raised by herself, but why has she become more and more different from before.
