He used to like to see her smile the most, but now, the last thing he liked was to see her smile at other men.

Meng Xilan's attitude towards him was still cold and detached, even with a smile. This made Zhou Youlin's heart extremely tormented and tormented.

Zhou Shili watched Meng Xilan's back leave with great grace, but he didn't know the changing emotions in Zhou Youlin's heart behind him.

When he turned his head, he noticed that Zhou Youlin had a somewhat gloomy expression.

Looking at his line of sight, it was clear who he was looking at. It seems that the previous rumors in the palace were not groundless. Zhou Youlin is indeed interested in Meng Xilan...... However, the gentleman has a heart, but the beauty seems to be ruthless.

Zhou Shili slowly walked in front of Zhou Youlin, turned his hands behind his back, looked at his twisted eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it seems that you are a little unhappy today?" ”

Zhou Youlin Huo Ran opened his eyes and replied coldly: "Uncle Cousin seems to be very leisurely today, strange...... Why didn't Uncle Cousin go to Mingde Palace to play chess with the prince. ”

Zhou Shili is from the prince's side, and he knows it very well in his heart. And before, Meng Xilan had also reminded him to be careful.

Zhou Shili glanced at him with a smile: "How is the prince's chess skills?" I think that the prince should also know in his heart that he and I are only temporarily together, and we are not in the same way. ”

The meaning of his words sounded a little dangerous.

Zhou Youlin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his eyes were a little cold: "Uncle Cousin's words, this king can't understand ......"

Was he trying to betray the crown prince? Or is it just trying to test yourself?

Zhou Shili smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, the coming day is long, and there will always be a time when I want to come with the prince." After speaking, he took a step behind his back and left Cining Palace.

Now, he's just coming over to say hello. In the future, he has to think about it in the long run, because his favorite way to do things is to put a long line to catch big fish.

Zhou Youlin's flickering attitude towards Zhou Shili only silently estimated, but he didn't take his words and deeds to heart.

With the Queen Mother's dictation in front, Meng Xilan can freely enter and leave the Changqing Palace.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing looked at her preparing things, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive, two people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally hesitated and said, "Master, do you really want to go to Changqing Palace?" There's a lot of trouble there...... Not too clean ......"

The word "ghost", no one dared to say it rashly, so they had to express it euphemistically. They had all seen it last time...... Why doesn't the master mind?

Meng Xilan knew that they were scared, turned around, and said with bright eyes: "No matter what, Zhou Youchen is already a veritable Ninth Highness. It's good for me if we help him more. You don't have to be afraid, with me, a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, no cow, ghost, snake or god can get close to our hearts. ”

Her intuition has been reminding her that Changqing Palace looks like a cold palace that has been abandoned for a long time, but it is actually a bottomless deep pool, and there may be many secrets hidden in it......

Hearing this, Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing glanced at each other and said in unison: "The slaves and maids all listen to their masters." ”

After a while, Gao Fuli hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, the little eunuch who saw the hell yesterday, one of them was ...... Scared to death! ”

"Dead?" Meng Xilan's hand paused slightly, and she frowned and asked.

Gao Fuli nodded: "Ah, I didn't have it just now." "There was such a big disturbance last night, and three people fell down at once, one was just frightened and died, and the remaining two, at this time, were also delirious and paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move.

Meng Xilan put the book in her hand lightly, and said in her heart: Can he scare people to death with just one child? Isn't it him...... It's the legless woman......

As soon as she remembered that face, Meng Xilan couldn't help but shudder.

No matter who she is, she has an inextricable relationship with Zhou Youchen.

Gao Fuli looked at his master's face and said cautiously: "Master, the affairs of Changqing Palace are endless, you can't help but be careful." ”

Meng Xilan calmed down before saying: "I know the severity in my heart, I've lived for so long, I've seen all kinds of faces, but I haven't seen what the face of a ghost is." ”

Gao Fuli was confused when he heard it, and said in his heart, the master is only fifteen today, why did he suddenly say such old-fashioned words?

Meng Xilan turned around, looked at the three of them and said, "I have never liked to force people, if any of you are afraid in your heart, just tell me clearly." ”

Zhulu Zhuqing lowered his eyes and shook his head again and again, but did not speak.

Gao Fuli took a deep breath and said, "Master, to be honest, the slave is afraid. But the minions are afraid to go with you, because you are the master of the minions. What the master is not afraid of, the slave cannot be afraid, everything the slave is given by the master......"

His chattering attitude really made Meng Xilan a little crying and laughing. She stretched out her hand and tapped his head vigorously, and reprimanded: "As long as you talk a lot, you are so dignified, and you show your loyalty, is it possible that you still want me to reward you with silver." ”

Gao Fuli smiled when he heard this, scratched his head and didn't speak. Zhulu Zhuqing couldn't help but secretly bend the corners of his mouth, a little wanted to laugh, but he endured it again.

"All three of you are my henchmen, so, I know that I have something, and you will all be on my side. At the beginning, when there was an epidemic, we were not afraid, and this time it will be fine. What is in the Changqing Palace, I must go and see what is going on. Meng Xilan looked at them and sighed lightly, her tone was very gentle, like a spring breeze in March.

The three of them nodded in unison when they heard this.

The Changqing Palace during the day does not look as terrible as it does at night...... At the very least, you can see every corner, every door, every window in the courtyard.

From the moment she stepped into the palace gate, for some reason, Meng Xilan felt a chill behind her.

It's really strange, there is the same sun and the same clouds overhead, but once you walk in here, you can't help but feel cold, and you can even smell a faint damp musty smell.

Seeing that no one came to greet him, Gao Fuli was bold and said, "Princess Wenning has arrived." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one responded for a long time.

Gao Fuli was a little anxious, straightened his back, took a step forward and said, "Princess Wenning has arrived!" ”

Meng Xilan looked around, wondering in her heart, why couldn't she even see a personal shadow, the Internal Affairs Office had obviously sent someone to serve Zhou Youchen and take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The door of the main hall was open, and Meng Xilan hesitated a little before saying, "Don't shout, Xiaolizi, if there were anyone, they would have come out a long time ago." ”

Gao Fuli muttered in a low voice: "I can't see a single person in the daytime, and at night, won't it be even more terrifying......"

"Let's go, let's go to the main hall and have a look." Meng Xilan commanded lightly, Gao Fuli bowed slightly, took two quick steps, and opened the way in front.

In the main hall, faint candlelight can be faintly seen, presumably someone has stayed.

Meng Xilan held Zhu Lu's arm and walked slowly, not in a hurry or impatient.

A large hall in all directions, dilapidated and decayed, covered with dust, it is impossible to see that anyone lives here.

Meng Xilan took out a handkerchief and gently covered her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of eyes to carefully examine everything around her.

At this moment, there was a soft whisper from inside, as if someone was talking.

Meng Xilan looked in the direction of the sound and found that there seemed to be someone on the bed in the room.

Gao Fuli was the first to be alert, he cautiously moved over, looked at it, suddenly turned his head, and whispered: "Master, it's His Royal Highness the Nine......"

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly walked over to check, the furnishings here were old and simple, there was only a snow-white quilt and a Zhou Youchen whose face was whiter than snow on the bed.

He lay there motionless, breathing lightly and feeling something wasn't quite right.

Meng Xilan was startled, didn't care too much, reached out and shook his shoulder: "Zhou Youchen, Zhou Youchen ......"

She shook his shoulder, but he still didn't respond. Gao Fuli stretched out his finger in a little panic, poked under the tip of his nose, and said with a long breath: "Master, there is still gas." ”

Meng Xilan frowned slightly, lowered her head and touched his hand, and sure enough, it was cold and cold, like a dead man's hand.

"Master, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look." Zhu Qing took two steps back in fear. Unbeknownst to her, someone behind her suddenly tapped her on the shoulder, so frightened that she almost screamed.

"Ah...... Who are you? ”

The man was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old palace maid, dressed in a turquoise palace dress, with big eyes wide open, but the tone of her voice was very small: "The slave maid greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Meng Xilan glanced at her: "Are you the palace maid in this palace?" ”

The little palace maid nodded: "The slave maid is called Cui'er, and she sent someone to serve His Royal Highness Nine two days ago." She said as she looked back at the bed, and there was not a trace of concern or panic on her face.

"Your Highness the Nine, what's the matter?" Meng Xilan's heart was even more puzzled.

"Back to the princess, Your Highness...... He's resting. Cui'er replied hesitantly.

Rest?!

Meng Xilan looked down at Zhou Youchen again, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was already unconscious.

Cui'er took another step forward and whispered, "Your Royal Highness Princess, when our master is resting, it's like this, like ...... It was like being sick. Moreover, no matter who calls, you can't wake up...... Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid should go outside and prepare refreshments for you. ”

"Refreshments? It's dirty everywhere here, how do you ask Her Royal Highness the princess to use tea? Zhulu suddenly opened her mouth.

Cui'er's face turned red and lowered her head: "Here in the main hall, His Royal Highness won't let us clean it, but the side hall is clean, please move Her Royal Highness the princess, and wait for Her Highness to wake up, and the slave maid will immediately pass the word for you." ”

Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youchen with some unease, then looked at the little palace maid and said, "Are you sure your master is okay?" If he has a good one, you won't be able to save your head. ”

Cui'er didn't dare to be ambiguous, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, he's really fine...... When the slave maid first came, she was also startled and invited the imperial doctor to come over...... However, when the master woke up, he got up, and the whole person was fine, and there was really nothing wrong with him. ”
