Chapter 64: A Different Time (4)
The prince was serious. It's my pleasure to be able to help you. Zhou Shili raised his lips and smiled.
"Uncle Cousin, are you really willing to do anything for me?" Zhou You suddenly became serious, his dark eyes staring at his face, his gaze sharp.
"Of course, as long as I can." Zhou Shili looked serious.
Last time, he helped him successfully turn over, and although the process was dangerous, the result was still successful. Zhou Youping almost thought that Zhou Shili was going to harm him with the purpose of helping him, but he didn't expect that his method could really be successful.
"I want the throne." Zhou Youping spit out four words clearly.
Zhou Shili raised his eyebrows and said perfunctorily: "You are the crown prince, and the throne is originally yours." ”
Zhou Youping sneered: "Uncle Cousin, do you know what I mean?" ”
"If you want to do it, you have to be determined. So, stop selling it to me. Zhou Shili was slightly resistant to what he was going to say next, as if as soon as he said it, things would really come true.
Zhou Youping leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I want to kill the king and seize the throne." ”
Although I had expected it for a long time, I couldn't help but tremble slightly when I heard it with my own ears.
This may be the most presumptuous, bold, and terrifying sentence in the world.
Killing the king and seizing the throne, just with these four words, people can die without a corpse, and their bones will be scattered. However, for some reason, when Zhou Shili heard this, his heart was suddenly aroused with a trace of indescribable excitement.
"Uncle Cousin, do you dare to help me?" Zhou Youping asked.
"I can't wait any longer. Once the fourth kid comes back from meritorious service, his father will crown him as a prince. By then, there will be more people in the palace who want my life. The reason why Zhou Youping is so urgent is because of Zhou Youlin's outstanding performance, which makes him feel uneasy.
Zhou Shili listened to it sincerely, and his heart turned a thousand times. To be honest, his ambition is even greater than Zhou Youping's, but his luck has always been bad, and he lost the position of the son of the world as soon as he was born.
Zhou Youping could see the glint in his eyes, and continued: "As long as you are willing to help me, once I ascend the throne, I will give you everything you want, including the position of prince." ”
This condition sounds really tempting.
However, Zhou Shili secretly sneered: he wanted more than just the title of a prince. Many years ago, he had already set himself bigger goals.
"Prince...... May I think about it? After all, the stakes are high. Zhou Shili didn't answer him immediately, but lost his appetite.
Zhou Youping's eyes sank when he heard this, and he was a little uneasy: "Uncle Cousin, you won't betray me, right?" ”
Zhou Shili immediately nodded. "Of course not, we're already in the same boat."
……
Before the official canonization, Meng Xilan always hoped to get a chance to go home and have a look. However, her "illness" made it difficult for her, let alone leaving the palace, even if she walked out of the room, it was impossible.
If she came home alive at this time, there was no doubt that everyone would start to doubt.
Counting the days, she hasn't been in contact with her family for more than half a month.
In fact, it is okay to write letters, but none of the words she wants to say in her heart can be written on paper.
Meng Xilan thought about letting Zhulu go back for her, but Zhulu was afraid that she would be stupid and couldn't understand what she explained.
Just when she was at a loss, suddenly a letter came from outside the palace.
The letter was brought in by Meng Jiatuo, but it was sent directly to the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw this letter, she thought about it secretly, and finally handed it over to Meng Xilan intact.
Meng Xilan didn't think about it, so she read the letter directly in front of the Queen Mother. As a result, it turned out to be a good news letter. "...... My eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, and the mother and child are safe. ”
Yun Ge'er was born safely, but she didn't have time to look at him yet.
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned when she heard this, and only then did she remember that Meng Xilan had asked to leave the palace because her eldest sister-in-law had a fetal gas.
"This is a good thing, the Meng family has added another ding."
Meng Xilan was overjoyed, pressed the letter on her chest, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.
It was rare for the Queen Mother to see her so happy, so she said: "The mourning family will send someone to send a gift to the past, if you want to go back to see, the mourning family will not stop you, remember to take medicine on time, and don't rush back in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to stay for one night." ”
Meng Xilan was slightly startled when she heard this, she didn't expect her to agree so quickly.
The Queen Mother stroked her hair: "Seeing you happy, mourning family will be happy." ”
Meng Xilan's eyes flashed, revealing deep emotion: "Thank you for your mother's ......"
Sure enough, this sentence "Queen Mother" is really not in vain.
Meng Xilan still remembered that in her previous life, the gift she prepared for Yun Ge'er was a brush, hoping that he could be as studious and intelligent as his eldest brother. This time, though, she changed it for something else.
Sitting in the carriage out of the palace, Meng Xilan's heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably, and she didn't know what she was nervous about, maybe she was just looking forward to it too much.
When she reached the door, her excitement calmed down a little.
However, when she walked into the familiar door, what happened next still shocked her slightly.
The family members of the third room appeared neatly, and after welcoming her into the main courtyard, they all bowed down. "Princess Chitose Chitose."
Meng Xilan was stunned, took a few steps forward, helped her grandmother in the center and said, "What is this?" Get up. ”
How could she afford such a big gift from her family.
Mrs. Meng looked happy, but her eyes were full of tears: "This time is different from the past. Three days ago, the Empress Dowager's decree arrived, and you are now Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Although she is still a member of the Meng family, half of them have already returned to the palace and the queen mother.
When Meng Xilan heard this, her heart was sour, she shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Grandmother, I will always be your Lan'er." ”
Even if her identity changes, she is still her, and she will always be a child of the Meng family.
Mrs. Meng held her hand tightly with both hands: "Okay...... Let's go into the house and talk. ”
As soon as she sat down, Meng Xilan couldn't wait to see Brother Yun and see his cute little face.
Old Lady Meng looked at her dotingly, and then took her inside: "I knew that you would definitely come back." Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was really approved......"
Meng Xilan took her arm and smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother treats me so well, she won't disobey this little request." ”
Old Madam Meng's expression was clear. Yes, the Queen Mother has already given her the position of princess, which is equivalent to giving her everything.
Entering Qiao's bedroom, Meng Xilan first untied her cloak, followed by cleaning her hands in the porcelain basin, and then went to the stove to warm it up, as if she was very skilled.
Qiao Huiyun, who had just experienced the pain of childbirth last night, was falling asleep, her slightly puffy face was slightly pale, but there was a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.
