After Murong Qiao knew that he had lost, he tried to struggle hard, but he was afraid that he would be too strong, and in the end, his son Zhou Youlin would become the target of everyone's attack.

Therefore, she didn't toss too fiercely, she honestly softened, and only hoped that Zhou Youlin would still have a chance to live.

He was the only prince among the princes, and the throne was supposed to be his. However, when the ladies brought her a meal and told her that it would be time to take the throne ceremony in a few days. She felt as if her whole person had been hollowed out, and the blood in her whole body had been drained and empty.

Defeated like this? Lost like that?

She was unwilling, extremely unwilling, so much so that in just three days, her hair turned gray.

Her long, beautiful hair had now become gray and mottled, and it was unsightly.

"Mother's ......"

Murong Qiao sat alone in the dark and empty dormitory, because of his sadness, he didn't even know about outsiders, and he couldn't even notice Meng Xilan's footsteps.

Suddenly, only to hear a female voice call her softly.

Murong Qiao's eyelids were raised, and she followed the voice, and when she saw Meng Xilan coming in, she stood in front of her in a dignified manner, and suddenly her whole body trembled with anger, she pointed at her, and said in a trembling tone: "What are you doing here?" ”

At this point, why did she show up? Could it be that she came to ask for her life.

Meng Xilan didn't get angry, but asked softly, "Niangniang, why is your hair white?" ”

She is not yet forty years old, and she is still a beautiful woman.

Murong Qiao stood up with his chair and staggered straight towards Meng Xilan.

Gao Fuli stood in front of his master and said to Murong Qiao: "Niangniang, please respect yourself." ”

Murong Qiao sneered and pointed at them, the nails on his hands were long, like insidious hooks.

Gao Fuli's face changed slightly, so he had to push her and let her sit back in the chair.

Murong Qiao was willing to give up easily, and pounced on her several times, and in the end, Gao Fuli had to send someone to press her to the ground and subdue her firmly.

"Mother, why is this so difficult? However, I am also relieved to see you like this. I thought you didn't even have the strength to lose your temper. ”

Meng Xilan said lightly.

"This palace hates to tear you with his own hands! You insidious villain, traitor! ”

Gao Fuli ordered everyone to tie Murong Qiao to the chair with a rope and couldn't move, and when he saw that she scolded badly, he wanted to plug her mouth with a cotton cloth.

Meng Xilan raised her hand to stop her: "Niangniang is a precious woman, how can she be so lazy?" That's all right, go down first. ”

"Master, the slave and maid stay with you." Gao Fuli was obviously still not at ease, staying a few steps away, keeping an eye on Murong Qiao's every move anytime and anywhere.

She used to be an extremely elegant woman, and she was unbelievably beautiful, but now, this miserable appearance looks a little terrifying.

Murong Qiao was tied to a chair and couldn't move, but her mouth could still speak.

She hated to curse Meng Xilan with the most vicious words in the world, how ugly it sounded.

Meng Xilan listened, but she didn't even move her eyebrows.

The more insipid her reaction became, the more angry Murong Qiao became, and in the end, she asked her, "Why did you betray this palace?" This palace trusts you so much, Lin'er likes you so much, you can't bear to turn your back on him, you vicious woman! ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly: "Niangniang said that I am a traitor, I admit this." However, the seizure of the heir is a cannibalistic battle, and the person who wins to the end must first go out of a bloody way. Mother, you have great ambitions, but you can't ...... As for the prince and me, after all, it's just a bad relationship. ”

"You use the palace to take the upper position, the palace doesn't blame you, but you can't use Lin'er......" Murong Qiao recalled that before, Zhou Youlin had always been in love with her, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Niangniang's words are so good that it doesn't make sense, you can calculate me, why can't I calculate it again? Having come to this point, you and I can be regarded as complying with the will of God. ”

Zhou Youlin is indeed the most suitable candidate for the prince, but unfortunately, God let her meet Zhou Youchen.

Those coincidences undoubtedly reminded her that there was some kind of unfathomable bond between them.

"Despicable! Shameless! Murong Qiao gritted his teeth and said: "You have hurt the palace, Lin'er, and dozens of people from my Murong family, sooner or later, you will be punished." ”

Meng Xilan finally waited for the word "retribution", nodded lightly and said: "I have already pleaded with the new emperor, and the dozens of people up and down in your Murong Mansion have not been implicated, and they are all alive now." It's just that in this life, you can no longer enjoy wealth and glory, so you can only go to the outside of Cyprus and wander to live. ”

Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "You are talking nonsense!" If you've done it this far, how can you spare them? ”

Although she said this, she had some expectations in her heart.

If the family does not die, maybe the future Murong family will have a chance to turn around, and there will be a chance to turn over again and take revenge.

"I'm different from my mother, I like to talk about things, I don't like to implicate innocents. Believe it or not, anyway, your family is still there. As for the prince...... You know what to expect. Whether the prince can save his life depends on you. ”

Meng Xilan wanted to show her a way to go, but this path was a dead end.

Only when she dies can Zhou Youlin live.

A look of horror flashed in Murong Qiao's eyes, and then he shook his head again and again: "It's impossible, this palace won't follow your wishes and let you succeed." ”

"Niangniang, I advise you not to be greedy for life and afraid of death. The mastermind who murdered the first emperor is you, as long as you apologize with death, the prince may still have the possibility of living. If the prince thinks of his mother and carries all the blame for your safety, then even if you can live a long life, what is the use? ”

Meng Xilan persuaded her softly. What she really wants is not to take Murong Qiao's life, but to save Zhou Youlin's life.

She could only watch him lose, but she couldn't watch him die......

Murong Qiao still shook his head and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Mother, no matter what the truth was back then? Concubine Xiao was killed by you personally, Zhou Youchen is a person who loves and hates, do you think he will spare you? ”

Meng Xilan added the last fire to her heart, so that she had no reason to object.

"No, this palace can't trust you, a traitor, a despicable villain."

Meng Xilan saw that she was still holding on, so she only said: "How to choose, Niangniang is the master herself." Words, Xi Lan can only say this. With that, she turned and left, her back resolute, without hesitation.

Murong Qiao is a smart person, she will figure it out sooner or later.

"Master, are you alright?" Zhulu Zhuqing stepped forward and asked with concern.

Meng Xilan shook her head, a wry smile appeared on her face: "What can I do?" ”

In the afternoon, Zhou Youchen, who was wearing a yellow robe, came to Cining Palace, looking radiant and handsome.

Meng Xilan made hot tea and waited for him, and when she saw him, she just saluted: "See the emperor." ”

Zhou Youchen smiled at first, and then frowned and helped her up: "Don't be like this, I don't like it." ”

Meng Xilan got up and looked at him with a smile: "The emperor should call himself "I", not "I". ”

Zhou Youchen smiled brightly and reached out to wrap her little hand: "That's for others, it's different for you." Yes, I will not change for the rest of my life. ”

There is something in his words, but there is no deep meaning.

Meng Xilan was silent, but silently withdrew her hand.

Zhou Youchen followed behind her step by step, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he asked, "Are you still thinking about that thing?" ”

His tone was tentative and uncertain, slightly angry, and he wanted to guess what was on her mind.

Meng Xilan no longer called him "Chen'er", but changed his name to call him the emperor: "Your Majesty, early tomorrow morning, the concubines of the former emperor will go to the imperial mausoleum and temple one after another, I hope I can join them, as for where to go, the emperor is the decided." ”

"I told you you couldn't go anywhere!" Zhou Youchen said in a deep voice, word by word.

Meng Xilan hesitated a little when she heard this, then turned around and looked at him fixedly.

"Meng Xilan, I want to be with you for the rest of my life......" Zhou Youchen's eyes flashed, and his expression was moved, but he hadn't finished speaking.

Meng Xilan, who was opposite, suddenly knelt down silently.

She knelt right in front of him, her long eyelashes covering the complicated look in her eyes, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly, not like she was laughing, but more like she was withholding her strength.

"What are you doing? You get up for me! Get up! ”

Zhou Youchen stared at her with wide eyes, he didn't expect her to do this.

"Your Majesty, I beg you, let me get out of here."

Meng Xilan still knelt motionless, pleading in a low voice.

In the past few years, for her, it has been like struggling in purgaternity all the time. Although she is still alive, sometimes it is worse than dead!

By this day, she had slowly grown disgusted with herself, and could even smell blood on her hands sometimes.

All around her was filled with all sorts of smells, the smell of blood, the smell of enemies, and the smell of intrigue.

Zhou Youchen also knelt down on his knees, knelt in front of her, looked at her at eye level, held her hand and said, "What about me?" You don't want me anymore. ”

Meng Xilan raised her head and smiled slightly. "You are now the most honorable person in the world, there will be many suitable people around you to take care of you, you don't need me anymore."

"No, I don't want anyone else, I just want you!"

She's going to drive him crazy! How, exactly? Can she stay?

Seeing him so excited, Meng Xilan hugged him gently. "Three years...... You give me three years, and after three years, I'll be back. ”

She didn't want to set a deadline for herself, but if she didn't, it would be difficult for her to take half a step out of the palace? Three years, whether it is long or not, is not short, and a lot can happen.

Maybe three years later, there will already be a newcomer by his side, and he doesn't care about her anymore.

Zhou Youchen's eyes flashed, and he was puzzled: "Three years ......"

Meng Xilan sighed, put her forehead against his, and said, "Well, flowers bloom and fall, people scatter and gather, there is always a time." You just have to wait until the plum blossoms look at it three more times, and I'll come back to see you! ”
