Zhou Shili?! Zhou Youping repeated three words in a gloomy tone, and his mind suddenly became brighter, he couldn't understand why he lost so badly this time? Now, he knows that it is all because Zhou Shili designed him step by step and set a trap for him!

Those pictures of the past appeared in front of me frame by frame, and every word that Zhou Shili said echoed very clearly in my ears......

Zhou Youping's eyes were scarlet with anger, but he was smiling on his face. He laughed, Zhou Shili was too well disguised, he laughed, he was too stupid!

Meng Xilan looked at his trembling shoulders with laughter, and said calmly: "The prince of the county is to show loyalty to the fourth master, so he framed you like this." But you still believe him......"

Zhou Youping slowly stopped laughing, and only said, "What if you know?" Zhou Shili is so cunning and insidious, if the fourth child believes him, he will end up like me. ”

Meng Xilan said quietly: "Are you willing?" If it were me, even if I died, I would take my enemy to die with me, and let him carry me back! ”

Back ...... Zhou Youping slowly straightened his back and stood up.

Gao Fuli vigilantly guarded his master, for fear that he would have something he couldn't think of and hurt his master.

Zhou Youping stared coldly at Meng Xilan's face, "Do you think I'm a fool?" Can't you see what you mean? You're clearly trying to take advantage of me! After speaking, his mouth emitted a sigh of admiration, and his tone was even more sarcastic: "You girl is too calculating!" ”

Meng Xilan didn't care about his sarcasm, and only said: "Prince, so far, you still have the value of being used, isn't it a good thing?" If you are willing to do the fourth master this favor, the fourth master will definitely come forward to protect you and plead with the emperor to save you from exile! To be honest, I think this condition is unreasonable for you to refuse! What's more, Zhou Shili hurt you so badly, are you really willing to be convinced? ”

"Actually, the matter is very simple, as long as you admit all those crimes in front of the emperor, and then explain to the emperor, the reason why you do this is because you listened to Zhou Shili's persuasion and inducement. He's the mastermind behind everything! ”

Zhou Shixian is not a generous monarch, if Zhou Youping insists that it was Zhou Shili's idea, he will definitely not let it go, and he will definitely send someone to find out! Zhou Youping is his own flesh and blood, his son, he is naturally reluctant to kill him, and Zhou Shili is just a cousin, he is alive or dead, he doesn't care so much!

Zhou Youping frowned and thought about it, and he knew very well in his heart that he had no choice at all, so he could only nod and agree.

Meng Xilan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this: "You made a correct decision. Tranquility and worry-free safety are all tied to you alone, and I hope you can take care of your life! ”

After saying what should be said, Meng Xilan turned away, but heard Zhou Youping speak behind him: "Now you are proud...... The fourth child won, and your position as a concubine is indispensable. ”

Meng Xilan paused, turned to look at Zhou Youping, and said lightly: "You are just too self-righteous to end up like today!" If that's all I want, why bother? You don't understand ...... at all."

What is the position of the concubine? Even if it's the queen of the main palace, she doesn't care. What she wants to do is always two words: revenge!

Gao Fuli gently held the master's arm and said softly: "Master, let's go back." ”

At this time, Mingde Palace is a place of right and wrong, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, and it is better to leave early.

When she returned to Cining Palace, Meng Xilan did not go to the Queen Mother first, but went back to her room, deliberately crying and her eyes red.

Zhou Youping's matter, she couldn't take the initiative to say, she could only let the Queen Mother ask first, and then she asked and answered herself.

Zhou Youning also knew about the prince, and came over to discuss with Meng Xilan with tears in his eyes, but when he saw that she was also bowing her head and crying, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and muttered: "Sister......"

Meng Xilan stretched out her hands, held her in her arms and comforted her, and only said, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Zhou Youning said with tears in his eyes: "Is the prince's brother still saved?" ”

Meng Xilan reminded her in a low voice: "He is no longer the prince." ”

"Sister, what the hell is going on? Why, overnight, everything went wrong. My grandmother is sick, my father is sick, and even my wife is ...... The second brother was also punished. Sister, I'm scared! ”

Meng Xilan coaxed her softly: "It's okay, everything will be fine." ”

She couldn't explain it to her, and she didn't want to. The battle above the court has always been fierce, either you die or I die.

"The second prince wrote a blood letter, I'm going to show my mother in a while, do you want to go with me?" Seeing that she looked so excited, Meng Xilan proposed to let her join her. After all, Zhou Youning's tears can easily make adults soft-hearted.

Zhou Youning nodded again and again: "I'll go with my sister." ”

No matter what others think of Zhou Youping, in her eyes, he has always been a good brother.

In the queen mother's bedroom, there is a faint smell of medicine. She had just taken the medicine, and if she was to wake up, it would probably be the middle of the night.

Zhou Youning insisted on waiting with Meng Xilan, and the two of them sat hand in hand, crying silently, each with their own concerns.

The Queen Mother woke up and it had been the second watch.

Meng Xilan stepped forward to feed her water, and the Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at her, but saw that she and Zhou Youning were both red-eyed, as if they had cried.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Youning couldn't hold his breath and was the first to speak: "Imperial grandmother, please save the second brother." She knelt down and kowtowed.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face was full of puzzlement, and she sat up tremblingly and said, "What's wrong?" Make it clear. ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head and took out the blood book written by Zhou Youping herself: "This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who just wrote it." The emperor is no longer willing to see him, please help him once, he was framed. ”

Although the Queen Mother is sick, her mind is not confused, and if something big hadn't happened, they wouldn't have come to beg her.

After reading it, the Queen Mother wrote the blood book written by Zhou Youping herself, and she almost couldn't breathe and kept coughing. Meng Xilan hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, only to see the blood she coughed up.

The red color is so shocking.

Meng Xilan hurriedly closed the handkerchief, only looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Niangniang, please save the second prince." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and only held the blood book in her hand: "The mourning family wants to see the emperor......"

At this hour, the emperor had already gone to bed, but the queen mother still had important things to say during her illness, and he couldn't ignore it.

When Zhou Shixian appeared in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother only handed him the blood letter tremblingly: "Look at it yourself." ”

Zhou Shixian's face was a little sick and haggard, but his eyes were still spiritual.

After reading his son's blood book, Zhou Shixian's expression became difficult to see.

The content above is too shocking.

"Ahem...... Cough...... The matter has come to this point, and the mourning family only helps Ping'er's child to say one word...... Regardless of whether he did something wrong or not, I just hope that the emperor can listen to him face to face and make it clear what happened, don't wronged him, and don't misplace others. ”

Zhou Shixian lowered his head: "Queen Mother, you don't know how much mistake he made." I can't forgive him......"

Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother patted the bed and interrupted him: "The mourning family doesn't want you to forgive him, but to find out the matter clearly and check ......."

Meng Xilan hurriedly stepped forward to stroke the queen mother's back, while Zhou Youning knelt down on the side and said, "Father, for the sake of worry-free, you can listen to the words of the second brother." ”

Zhou Shixian groaned slightly, clenched his fists: "I will find out the matter." ”

Meng Xilan's heart sank, and her hand was a little heavier.

After the Queen Mother's coughing stopped, Zhou Shixian also got up and left.

Meng Xilan looked at the Queen Mother's pale face and said softly: "I'm sorry Queen Mother, if it weren't for the suddenness, I wouldn't want you to be sad......"

"What's the use of you all hiding from your mourners? The prince himself is not angry, this is what he deserves. The mourning family can't protect him, and they can't protect him......" The Queen Mother's tone was a little desperate, with the sadness unique to the old man.

"Queen Mother, don't be sad...... Meng Xilan's heart was also a little uncomfortable.

"Lan'er, the mourning family can't protect the prince, but the mourning family can at least protect you." The Queen Mother suddenly changed her words and looked at her eagerly.

Meng Xilan's heart tightened, and she blinked incomprehensibly: "Queen Mother......"

The Queen Mother lowered her head and coughed heavily, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said meaningfully: "If the mourning family dies, what should you do?" ”

Meng Xilan felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she still nodded meekly and said, "Don't say such things as the queen mother, you will definitely live a long life." ”

"Don't ...... Don't mourn the family. There is not much time left for the mourning family, but the most reassuring thing for the mourning family is you. ”

She has been in the palace for four years, and she seems to be having a good time in the palace, but in fact, she is in constant trouble. It's just that she doesn't say it, and she doesn't want her to know, but she knows what she should know and what she shouldn't know.

"Queen Mother, don't think too much, Lan'er will always be with you." For those who know the truth, it is useless to whitewash and comfort words.

"Do you really want to?" The Queen Mother asked vaguely.

Meng Xilan didn't think much about it, only nodded as if reassuring her: "Lan'er is willing." ”

Early the next morning, Zhou Shixian questioned Zhou Shili in person when he was in the early dynasty, but he was defenseless at all, so that he accidentally exposed his horse's feet.

Meng Zhenglu and Meng Xi took care of it, and they knew that the time had come.

Zhou Shixian had no patience with Zhou Shili, and directly took him into prison, making him lose the initiative.

Although Zhou Shili had already planned, he still didn't understand why the emperor suddenly turned the blame to himself.

He had already made arrangements outside, and there were people in the court who were speaking for her, so he wasn't worried much, he just felt worried.

He and the prince were very close, but when Zhou Youping was guilty, he had already picked himself clean. It stands to reason that there are no clues at all, and there is no evidence pointing to him, so he is very worried.

What went wrong? Something went wrong?

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind,

Meng Xilan, the name flashed through his mind.
