Xu Yes, because of the nightmare she had last night, during the day, Meng Xilan's heart has been faintly uneasy.

That long-lost nightmare seemed to imply an omen, an ominous omen.

Ever since Zhou Shili died, those painful memories of his past life have stopped with his stopped breathing and heartbeat. Those nightmares could no longer erode her dreams, could no longer torment her fragile and sensitive nerves.

But why did it come back? Again? What does this mean exactly? Could it be reminding her that the fate of her previous life will continue to bind her life......

Meng Xilan thought so, and the fingers holding the edge of the table tightened unconsciously, and her heart was swollen, as if something was stuffed.

Seeing that the master's appetite was not good, and he barely moved much for breakfast and lunch, Zhu Lu couldn't help but look worried: "Niangniang, what do you want to eat?" The slave and the maid will do it for you alone. ”

Meng Xilan came back to her senses when she heard this, but she just shook her head, she was half lying on the bed, closing her eyes and recuperating.

Zhulu sighed helplessly and walked out full of worry.

The rest of the food that the master eats is to be rewarded to the minions.

Zhuqing set up the chopsticks and waited for her to eat, but saw her face full of sadness.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Zhulu waved her hand, signaling that she and Xiaochunzi wanted to eat, and seeing that her master's body was not happy, her heart was not comfortable.

Xiao Chunzi put down her chopsticks and sat down in a proper manner: "Sister Zhulu, does the master have something on his mind?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Lu glanced at him: "Don't talk too much, the master's mind is also something you can guess." Besides, how long have you been following your master, how do you know your master's foresight......"

Haruko closed her mouth in amusement.

He had heard from his master that the concubine was a different woman, and although she was only in her twenties, her mind was as deep as that of an elder......

Xiao Chunzi has been in Cining Palace for more than two months, and the master treats him well, he hasn't even said a word of seriousness, and he has rewarded him with something every once in a while.

The fact that the master is so approachable and generous to others can be said to be the creation of these slaves.

It's sunny outside and the flowers are blooming, so it's a good time to go out and enjoy the scenery.

Meng Xilan sat quietly in the room for a long time, but her heart was still unstable.

Just as she was about to go out for a walk, Gao Fuli came in a hurry and brought her bad news.

"Niangniang, I sent a letter from outside the palace early this morning, Prince Xian is sick, and the situation is very troublesome......"

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and the face of the old man she hadn't seen for three years instantly appeared in front of her.

Zhou Youlin is now confined in the palace, not seeing the light of day, although he still retains the position of the prince, he has no real power in his hands.

In the battle for succession, he lost completely, and after Concubine Ning committed suicide, the Murong family also completely lost power, the trees fell and scattered, and everything was a cold person.

What kind of life Zhou Youlin lived in the palace, you don't have to think about it to know, but Meng Xilan has never looked at him, she didn't dare to go before, and now she doesn't want to go.

"If the prince is sick, then ask the imperial doctor in the palace to go to see ...... What's the use of finding a mourner? ”

Meng Xilan deliberately avoided suspicion and did not want to mention this person more.

Gao Fuli is also her person, and he hurriedly got to know her.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately sent Master Jiao over. Who knows, not only did the prince not listen to Lord Jiao's words, but also detained him in the mansion, he put his sword against Lord Jiao's neck, and threatened him with his life......"

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You said that the prince wants to blackmail Lord Jiao?" ”

Gao Fuli lowered his head: "No, what the prince wants to coerce is ...... It's a sissy ......."

"He used Lord Jiao to blackmail the mourning family? Is he crazy? Meng Xilan's heart sank, Jiao Changqing once saved his life, and he was also half his friend.

"What does the prince want?"

"The prince wants to see his mother...... See you ...... now."

Gao Fuli looked at her face and said cautiously: "The emperor didn't want to tell Niangniang about it. Prepare to order someone to storm into the mansion and rescue Master Jiao...... However, the prince's temperament is impatient, and if he attacks rashly, Lord Jiao's life will not be saved! Therefore, the slave advised the emperor to think twice...... The emperor knew that Niangniang and Master Jiao had a good relationship, so he asked the slave to come over and inform Niangniang......"

Before he finished his words, someone outside announced: "The emperor has arrived." ”

Meng Xilan got up to greet her, and before she could salute, Zhou Youchen had already walked in with a heavy face.

He stared at Meng Xilan and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and said, "Lord Jiao must be saved!" So, I'm willing to take a trip. ”

Zhou Youchen seemed to have expected her to say this, he frowned and said, "Then I will go with you!" ”

Now in Zhou Youlin's heart, the person he hates the most is either Meng Xilan or himself.

Meng Xilan shook her head seriously: "No, if the emperor goes with me, it will only make the prince's mood even more excited!" ”

"I'm not at ease."

Although the palace is full of his people inside and out, Zhou Youlin can still win Jiao Changqing, which is not to be underestimated. He also has a foundation in martial arts, and once he is forced to be in a hurry, no one knows what kind of thing he will do.

"Your Majesty, if the prince really wanted my life, he wouldn't use such a superficial method. The prince knew very well in his heart that as long as Jiao Changqing was in his hands, I would definitely appear. ”

Meng Xilan's heart was not without worry and fear, but these complex emotions were not worth mentioning at all compared to Jiao Changqing's life.

Time waits for no one, she has no time to grind any further, so she can only hurriedly prepare to leave the palace.

The Great Internal Forbidden Army has already surrounded the palace impenetrable, and everyone is waiting for it solemnly. But there is only one of their real enemies, and that is Zhou Youlin.

It's just a flesh and blood body, how can it use the strict defense of so many people? It's a bit ironic to watch.

Meng Xilan held Zhu Lu's hand and slowly got out of the car.

Zhou Youchen stood under the porch and looked at her, his eyes were full of hidden anger and deep worry.

Meng Xilan walked over and gently pulled his hand: "Please let the emperor be aggrieved for the time being, and wait outside for a while." I'll go back to ......."

As soon as her words fell, a familiar voice came from her ears: "Let Meng Xilan come!" This king wants to see her! ”

Zhou Youchen held her hand and strained slightly.

This familiar voice is Zhou Youlin's voice.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath, and after giving Zhou Youchen a relieved look, she let go of his hand.

The guards outside the door let her in, and the guards inside stood on both sides, and their eyes were staring intently at the man on the couch.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhou Youlin's appearance doesn't look like it's changed much, it's just a little thinner, and his face is slightly yellow, not as handsome as he was back then. There were a few more strands of gray hair in his thick black hair, which looked very piercing.

However, the biggest change in him is not his appearance, but his eyes.

Zhou Youlin, who was proud of everything back then, was always full of confidence in his eyes, and even when he spoke, he liked to tilt his chin slightly. And now, his eyes are dark and depressed, as if there is a bottomless dark abyss hidden, just one glance will make people feel depressed.

Listening to the people in the palace, he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid to survive to this day. However, looking at his eyes, where is he a madman? He's not crazy at all......

Zhou Youlin sat on the couch, holding an extremely sharp dagger with a cold light in his hand. In front of him, Jiao Changqing was kneeling on the ground, blocking the left half of Zhou Youlin's body and half of his face with his straight back. As a result, the archers were unable to shoot him, neither in the face nor in the heart.

Since you can't kill with one hit, you can't shoot so as not to hurt the hostages.

Jiao Changqing had been kneeling on the ground for more than two hours, his body began to tremble, his forehead was covered with sweat, and so was his face.

Meng Xilan glanced at Zhou Youlin, then at Jiao Changqing, and said with sparkling eyes: "If the prince wants to see the mourning family, he just needs to let people pass on a word, why spend such a big Zhou Zhang, and even involve Lord Jiao!" ”

Her tone was shallow, but reproachful.

Zhou Youlin only showed half of his face to look at her, and said in a gloomy tone: "Concubine Niangniang, where can I see if a sinner wants to see me!" Hehehe......"

For some reason, he burst out laughing, sinister and hoarse, like a ghost cry from hell.

Meng Xilan only felt a chill on her back, she took a step forward, and only said to Jiao Changqing: "Master, I'm sorry, it's me who has caused you trouble." ”

Jiao Changqing gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, only telling her to be careful with her eyes.

The dagger was against his neck, and it had pierced the skin, and it was slowly bleeding.

A thin red line is particularly shocking to look at.

Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youlin again: "Lord Wang, the mourning family has arrived, can you let Master Jiao go!" He's your savior......"

Before she finished her words, Zhou Youlin interrupted her: "Meng Xilan, now that the matter is over, do you still have to bargain with this king?" Are you still eligible? Do you still have a face? ”

Zhou Youlin's eyes revealed a burst of viciousness, he viciously poisoned this woman and hated her from the inside out.

If he could kill someone with his eyes, he hated to cut her with a thousand knives now!

In his life, he never thought that he would lose, and moreover, he still lost at the hands of a woman! Her eyebrows and eyes, her smiling face, are all sharp weapons quenched with poison, but he doesn't know it, and he thinks she likes him, and thinks she cares about him!

Meng Xilan saw the killing intent in his eyes, so he deliberately waved his hand and motioned for the guards in the room to withdraw.

"Lord Wang, please let Jiao Changqing go and let him go. If you have to blackmail someone, you can come and blackmail the mourners......"

The more he wanted to see her scared and uneasy, the more she had to behave calmly, so that he would be anxious, angry, and wrong......
