Meng Xizhao relayed what Chu Jingchuan said to his sister as it was.

Meng Xilan's hand clenched slightly, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

Chu Jingchuan knows her very well and knows that for her, the Chu family is everything to her.

Seeing that his sister was speechless, Meng Xizhao lowered his voice and said, "We are thinking of a way, a way to fight back." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "Brother, we can only survive in a desperate situation now, instead of fighting back!" ”

They are now subject to Chu Jingchuan everywhere, grounded and difficult to walk, and their every move is under the surveillance of others. In such a situation, any rash words and actions may lead to death.

Meng Xizhao could hear that there was obvious worry and eagerness in her sister's tone.

"We're just figuring it out, and we're not doing it rashly. Chu Jingchuan deliberately released the news, in order to test the Meng family and test you, and the family understands the stakes involved. Mother, do you have any plans? How can we help? ”

In his eyes, no matter how much difficulty he encounters in front of him, his sister's heart will not collapse...... She's stronger than anyone else.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes for a while, and then said quietly: "I don't have any plans, Chu Jingchuan is very protective of me." So, if I want to keep the crown prince, I have to say something......"

She paused slightly, and then said, "Brother, I am ready to betray the emperor." For the Meng family, the crown prince is always more important than the emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Xizhao was deeply shocked in his heart.

"Niangniang......" he lowered his head, trying to suppress the chill in his heart.

"If the emperor is gone, the prince's situation will only be more dangerous. Chu Jingchuan will not let him go, let alone the rest of the Chu family! ”

Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? What kind of prince is a prince without the protection of the emperor?

"Brother, now is not the time to think in the long run, we can only take one step at a time. As long as the prince is okay, I can still hold on...... I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do! ”

Chu Jingchuan was highly regarded in the army, and the people also respected him as a "god"-like figure. The people's desire is because Chu Jingchuan defeated the Turks and kept the peace of the northwest! It is precisely because of this heart's heart that he can occupy this capital, this palace! However, he can't set himself up as a king, he can't ascend the throne right now, he's not that stupid...... He needs the prince to be his puppet! ”

The Zhou royal family established the Northern Yan Dynasty, which also ruled for nearly a hundred years. Chu Jingchuan is arrogant, but he can't afford to kill the king and usurp the throne.

"Brother, please go back and bring a word to the family for me."

"Mother, please speak."

Meng Xilan looked up at the distant sky outside the window, and said quietly: "Now for us, to live is to win." ”

If you can live one more day, you will earn it.

Meng Xizhao's expression was heavy when he heard this, and he had nothing to say except nodding.

He silently looked at his sister's back, but he didn't know that his sad eyes made her feel like a thorn.

Meng Xilan couldn't come up with any ideas to turn things around.

Zhou Youchen is getting closer and closer to the capital, and Chu Jingchuan is training on campus every day, always ready.

The already tense atmosphere was once again enveloped by a thick murderous aura, and a sense of imminent tension was condensed in the air.

Every time Chu Jingchuan enters the palace, everyone in the palace will be in danger. The concubines in the harem all lived a cold life like a cold palace, the prince was imprisoned, and Zhou Tianci, as the prince, also lived a prisoner-like life.

It seems that everyone is suffering, and they all pin their hopes on Meng Xilan, thinking that the vicious and scheming woman will definitely come up with a way. However, time passed day by day, and the situation in the palace still did not change at all.

There are fewer and fewer portions in the palace, and even three meals a day have become simpler.

There is no one in the imperial dining room anymore, and the ingredients brought back by the small kitchen of the palace are also very few.

Zhulu tried her best to cook a pot of vegetable porridge for the master who had no appetite.

Seasoned with only vegetables, it is light and slightly sweet.

Although Meng Xilan had no appetite, she was unwilling to live up to her wishes.

Zhulu saw her drink a few sips, and she was at ease.

Meng Xilan lowered her head and gently stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and said thoughtfully: "Is there any movement in the palace recently?" ”

Zhu Lu shook his head lightly when he heard this: "There is no news at all in the palaces. Niangniang, the slave maid followed you into the palace until now, and there has never been such a quiet time. ”

Meng Xilan took another sip of porridge: "How is my sister?" ”

"There's no news from the little princess, but she's with Concubine Qing, and there won't be anyone around to take care of her."

Meng Xilan put down the spoon when she heard this, and thought for a while before saying, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

"Mother?" Zhu Lu snorted lightly when she heard this, and quickly shook her head: "This is absolutely unacceptable!" The general doesn't let you move around at will, it's all his people outside. ”

Meng Xilan saw that she was emotional, so she said: "Chu Jingchuan is not in the palace, I am the most powerful person in this palace." I want to see, which of them dares to touch me? ”

Zhu Lu was shocked when she heard this: she didn't understand what she meant, "Niangniang, ...... you are"

Before, she had always kept a low profile, and she was even more docile and obedient to Chu Jingchuan, but now why did she suddenly change her mind?

Meng Xilan's tone was quiet: "The knife I cut myself made Chu Jingchuan show his sincerity. He won't let me die, and his men won't be me. ”

Zhulu bit her lip lightly and said, "But Niangniang, I heard that Wei Feng is a ruthless character." ”

Meng Xilan seemed to be smiling, and said softly: "Have I seen fewer ruthless characters in my life?" Zhulu, the situation in front of you has restrained your hands and feet, and your courage has become smaller. ”

Zhu Lu lowered her head when she heard this: "What Niang Niang said is true." ”

After a cup of tea, Meng Xilan packed up and walked out of the palace gate with bamboo dew.

Sure enough, the guards outside stepped forward to stop: "Please ask the queen to return to the palace, the general has an order......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Lu interrupted sharply: "You are so bold, the queen mother is the lord of the six palaces, she can go wherever she wants?" ”

When the guard saw that she was powerful, his expression became a little disdainful.

"This is the order of the great general, and no one is allowed to wander around the palace."

Seeing his attitude, Zhu Lu was even more angry in his heart: "What kind of thing are you?" Arrogant in front of the queen? The general wants you to protect Niangniang, not to take care of Niangniang! Who are you moving out of the Great General to scare? ”

Zhulu's aggressive posture made it difficult for those guards to deal with.

They are only responsible for watching, but they cannot hurt anyone.

At the time of the stalemate, Wei Feng hurried over from a distance, and after seeing Meng Xilan, he slowly saluted and said, "Queen Mother Wan'an." ”

Seeing this, Meng Xilan smiled lightly before she spoke: "You have rules. After speaking, she swept her gaze coldly to the guards opposite: "However, you really don't think you can teach people, see that they don't even have the most basic rules." ”

Wei Feng frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at his subordinates, and said lightly: "Please atone for your sins, this is all due to the lax supervision of your subordinates and the lack of teaching." ”

"Why don't you salute when you see your mother?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then knelt on the ground and saluted.

Meng Xilan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you all get up." ”

Wei Feng has always had some respect for Meng Xilan, not because she is the queen, but because she is the woman who cares most about the general's heart.

A vicious and complex woman.

"Queen, where are you going? Is it okay for Wechen to send you over? ”

Wei Feng's tone was quite respectful, and without waiting for her to nod in agreement, he made a gesture asking her to go first.

Meng Xilan held Zhu Lu's hand and said lightly: "This palace is going to see the little princess." ”

Wei Feng nodded when he heard this: "Niangniang is really kind and kind. ”

This sentence made Meng Xilan feel a little harsh.

"Are you sarcastic about Hongu?"

Wei Feng hurriedly shook his head: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen just thinks that Niangniang can still think about others at this critical moment of life and death, it's really rare." ”

There was no doubt that he was sarcastic about her.

Meng Xilan slowly stood still, and said in a quiet tone: "General Wei, have you got married?" Or is there a woman you like? ”

Wei Feng was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "Weichen didn't." ”

Meng Xilan suddenly smiled lightly: "This palace thinks it's the same...... You don't have a family yet, and you don't have someone you care about. ”

"If you have something to say, please speak directly." Wei Feng stared at her intently, not knowing what she meant?

Meng Xilan said quietly: "Men in this world always have a kind of self-confidence that comes from nowhere. You think you know everything, including women. ”

Wei Feng's eyes sank slightly, and he only said, "Oh, is it? Then please ask the mother for advice. ”

Meng Xilan put away her gentle tone, and her eyes instantly became sharp: "There is nothing in this palace that can teach you. Only a kind reminder, don't be too presumptuous! Now, you have taken over the capital and the palace, but it doesn't mean that you have taken over the world of the Zhou family! The women in this palace are all the women of the emperor and the women of the Son of Heaven, not yours. So, show your respect and rules. You must know that in the hearts of your General Chu, I, the demon queen, are much more important than you, a loyal hairy boy. ”

Wei Feng's face changed instantly when he heard this, he smiled coldly, and said, "Queen Mother, the general is not the faint monarch who was pinched in your hands, he is a real hero." I will never be defeated by women......"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Xilan interrupted him and said, "Do you want to make a bet with this palace?" ”

What the? Wei Feng raised his eyebrows, his eyes defensive.

Meng Xilan said lightly: "This palace can do without Chu Jingchuan, but he Chu Jingchuan can't do without this palace." You know this very well. ”

She hit the nail on the head. If Chu Jingchuan had considered the overall situation, he should not have kept her a long time ago.

Wei Feng's brow furrowed even tighter. Of course, he also fought back mercilessly: "Niangniang, don't be too comfortable." After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still suffering now! ”
