In the end, it is a close relative of flesh and blood, the mother of the biological body, how can he not care, how can he ignore it?

From childhood to adulthood, because of this face, he abandoned his ambition to be a prince early. He never coveted anything that didn't belong to him.

The prince's brother is a jewel-like person, and he can't compare with him in his life...... Therefore, he does not fight, does not hate, and does not rob.

Zhou Tianyou knelt down to the queen mother, looked up at her, grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, and begged in a trembling voice: "Queen mother, my son begs you." ”

He pleaded bitterly, and fell into Zhang Rong'er's eyes, which only made her tremble.

She looked at her son who was prostrate and kneeling, gritted her teeth to stop crying, and said, "Niangniang, the sea of bitterness is endless, and the poor nun has turned back...... The poor nun has no intention of living in the world, and asks the mother to give the poor nun a happy time! ”

When Zhou Tianyou heard this, he closed his eyes and shook his head: "No, please don't listen to that crazy woman...... Yes, she's the madwoman's babbling! ”

Meng Xilan stood on the top of the steps, listening to the cries of their mother and son with a sinking face, and did not respond for a long time.

In this situation, she really looks like a bad person.

Scold......

Thinking of this, Meng Xilan couldn't help but sneer. Yes, it seems that she has been doing the "wicked person" all these years.

"Get up, all of you." She finally spoke.

The cries of their mother and son gradually stopped, and they all looked at her with teary eyes.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "You'er, you go out first, this palace has something to say." ”

Zhou Tianyou was full of uneasiness, but he didn't dare not listen, he stood up slowly, and walked out of the hall step by step.

The eunuch outside the hall saluted him and was about to give orders to prepare a sedan chair, but he heard his eyes red and order: "No need, I'll just wait here." ”

He didn't want to go anywhere, so he just waited here to see what the queen mother would do?

She's not going to kill her, is she...... It won't be......

He muttered in his mind.

The eunuch saw that his eyes were red and he was crying, so he hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.

In the hall, Zhulu sent everyone back, so that the master could talk quietly with Zhang Rong'er.

After Zhou Tianyou left, Zhang Ronger gradually calmed down.

She sat on the ground and looked down at her hands.

Meng Xilan looked at her for a while, and said: "There is a reason for the incident, the fault is not yours, it is in the Song family." But at the beginning, you were still shaken......"

Zhang Rong'er bit her lip lightly, nodded and said, "Poor nun should be damned!" Sin deserves death! ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "Everyone has only one life, how can you die a thousand deaths?" ”

There is only one life, and when you die, you are gone.

Before Zhang Rong'er entered the palace, she already had the heart to die.

She knows the queen too well, she will not call herself into the palace for no reason.

"What does Niangniang want to do with the poor nuns?" Zhang Rong'er slowly straightened her back, knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve.

She didn't think about asking for mercy. If it weren't for Zhou Tianyou, she wouldn't have shed a single tear.

Meng Xilan sat back on the main seat, looked at her casually, and pretended to think: "What do you want this palace to do with you?" ”

Zhang Rong'er hesitated for a moment, and said word by word: "The poor nun doesn't ask for anything else, but only hopes to keep a whole corpse." ”

In such a situation, it is already very difficult to get a whole corpse.

Meng Xilan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop.

"If you die, how should this palace explain to You'er?"

Zhang Rong'er said silently: "Poor Ni is no longer an important person to the second prince. With the care of the queen, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will live better. ”

She has been outside the palace for so many years, and she will think of You'er day and night, but she knows that she can no longer have it.

People in the palace said that the queen mother was very good to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. She didn't believe it at first, but when she saw You'er's face today, she believed it......

It is true that the queen has not mistreated her son all these years. So, there was nothing wrong with her choice.

"You'er just interceded for you, and you saw it."

Meng Xilan said in a low tone: "As you said, she is the son of Bengong, how can Bengong break his heart." ”

Zhang Rong'er raised her head suddenly when she heard this, looking at Meng Xilan, I don't know what she meant?

Meng Xilan said lightly: "This palace will not kill you." ”

Zhang Rong'er was shocked when she heard this, and stared at Meng Xilan's face tightly, wanting to find clues from her face that she was teasing herself.

I haven't seen her for several years, and Meng Xilan's appearance doesn't seem to have changed in the slightest. Could it be that her appearance has not changed? But his temperament has changed?

Meng Xilan's fingertips clicked on the desktop, stained with residual water stains, and wrote the word "resentment".

"This palace doesn't kill you, it's not that this palace is merciful. It's just for the sake of the second prince...... You have also seen the appearance of his intercession for you, and he has never forgotten you. ”

Zhang Rong'er's eyes were red again: "The poor nun can't afford it...... It's all a sitch...... Niangniang is generous...... Teach His Royal Highness the Second Prince to be affectionate and righteous! ”

Meng Xilan chuckled when she heard this: "You'er is obviously a good boy with affection and righteousness, and this palace has never taught him any big truths!" It's he who did it himself! ”

She stared at the word "resentment" she had written, and then smoothed the handwriting with the same finger.

"After so many years, you have been safe outside the palace, and this palace thought that you were no longer a threat. But the main palace is still careless......"

Zhang Rong'er had no intention of defending herself, and said in a low voice: "Poor nuns have never been a hidden danger for the queen's mother. I'm just a small character, Niangniang, what you have to worry about is the Song family......"

Meng Xilan's eyebrows frowned slightly when she heard this, and she asked again: "Why, they haven't given up yet?" ”

Zhang Rong'er said in a deep voice: "They won't give up easily." Back then, when Song Wenxiu died tragically, the Song family hated you. ”

Meng Xilan sighed softly when she heard this: "Since this is the case, it is to force the palace to do it." ”

When Zhang Rong'er heard this, she clasped her hands together and gently recited "Amitabha".

Meng Xilan looked at her and said, "Since you are dedicated to seeking Buddha, this palace will fulfill you." From now on, your title in the palace will be removed, and you will no longer be a concubine in the palace. You leave the palace and enter the empty door from now on! ”

This is really not a punishment for her.

Zhang Rong'er looked at Meng Xilan's eyes, and couldn't believe that she was really willing to let herself live.

"Mother's ......"

She hesitated, not knowing whether to kowtow or not.

"You don't have to thank me, from now on, you will no longer be a concubine in the palace, a daughter of the Zhang family, and the biological mother of the second prince. You're just a monk, a monk with no dependencies and no worries. You will spend the rest of your life at the Temple of Merit outside the city, and there is no room for repentance. You won't have the chance to enter the palace again, let alone have the opportunity to meet the emperor, the palace, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"

Zhang Rong'er's shoulders trembled slightly when she heard this, and she was silent for a while, before she nodded lightly: "Poor Ni thank Niangniang for her success, Poor Ni is willing to use her whole life to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to pray for the emperor and Niangniang, as well as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" ”

Meng Xilan looked at her steadily: "You really don't regret it?" ”

Zhang Rong'er nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the poor nun is no longer worthy of staying in the palace...... This is the best place for poor nuns! ”

Even if she returns to the palace, there will be no more place.

She can't be a joke anymore, let alone a joke even if she affects the second prince.

Meng Xilan sighed heavily and nodded with a smile: "That's the best." Before leaving, you can meet with You'er again. You mother and son have never spoken well together, and this is the last chance. ”

Zhang Rong'er lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Thank you, ...... girl"

Zhou Tianyou stood alone outside the hall, and waited for nearly half an hour before he saw Aunt Zhulu come and call him.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, please come in."

Zhou Tianyou was in a worried mood and walked into the hall slowly step by step.

Meng Xilan and Zhang Rong'er each sat in their seats, and the condensed atmosphere in the hall had disappeared, and in its place was a peaceful atmosphere.

The first person Zhou Tianyou looked at was the queen mother, who was smiling at him. "You'er, come here."

The words of the queen mother, he naturally wanted to listen.

Zhou Tianyou walked over and looked at her, his eyes full of uneasiness.

Meng Xilan knew that he was afraid, so she said gently: "Okay, everything is over, it's okay." ”

Zhou Tianyou's eyes widened, only to feel that he must have heard it wrong.

Meng Xilan didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder: "Go, go talk to her." ”

She slowly got up, took Zhulu's hand, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"I heard that the flowers in the courtyard are blooming just right, so I'll go over and take a look."

She left them here for their mother and son, this is her last bit of mercy to Zhang Rong'er.

Zhang Rong'er has never been alone with her son, when he was a child, she once hugged him once, but that time, she almost strangled him to death with her own hands......

Zhang Rong'er clenched her hands unconsciously, he didn't dare to think about the past, and he didn't want to think about it.

The first person to speak was not Zhang Rong'er.

"Don't beat the idea of the prince's brother again."

Zhang Rong'er smiled lightly when she heard this: "The poor nun is just confused for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine." ”

Zhou Tianyou saw that her tone was calm, and suddenly he believed it, and the queen mother said those words just now.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince...... The poor nun is about to leave the palace and go to the Temple of Merit to lose her hair and practice. So, there are a few words that the poor nun wants to say to you......"

Zhang Rong'er spoke softly, trying to make her tone as gentle as possible.

Zhou Tianyou stood there at a loss, not knowing how to deal with her.

"You'er ......"

She called his name for the first time.

Zhou Tianyou clenched his fists, stiffly turned his head away, and stopped looking at her.

Zhang Rong'er took the initiative to walk in front of Zhou Tianyou, she wanted to touch him, but she didn't know whether she should do it.

"You'er, be careful of the queen."

Thousands of words of advice finally turned into this one sentence.

When Zhou Tianyou heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Rong'er said with a serious face: "The queen mother is a very urban and scheming person. Although she let me go today, it doesn't mean that our mother and son will be safe forever. ”

Zhou Tianyou turned his head to look at her: "If you hadn't poisoned the prince's brother, there would not have been such a scene as today." You chose it yourself, and the Queen Mother forgave you, but you ...... Such an unappreciative ......."

"No, you don't know the queen, you don't know her."

Zhou Tianyou looked at the woman in front of him who was eager to tell him, and somewhere in his heart slowly collapsed.

"My mother has taken care of me for many years and she is the best person for me. And you, I don't know anything about you. ”

Such a cold sentence made Zhang Ronger stunned on the spot.

Zhou Tianyou looked her in the eyes: "I have grown so big, I have never coveted something that does not belong to me." Therefore, I have always lived a peaceful life, and even though I was born with such a face, I still became a highness in everyone's mouth. This is all given to me by the Queen Mother, not you...... It's been fifteen years, and you've never cared for me, and you've never taken care of me, but as soon as you appeared, you almost put me in danger...... Perhaps, the person I should be most wary of should be you! ”
