Meng Xilan looked at the crown prince and then at the only two people left beside him. Xiao Chunzi and Shen Dan, an inner eunuch and a palace maid. One is a person who has been raised by high welfare, for so many years, he has been brave and resourceless, has not done anything big, has not caused any major disasters, has been conscientious, and in times of crisis, he is still loyal and reliable. One is the person she has her eye on at a glance. A man who is ambitious, but does not know it.

It's ironic to think about it, the person who was originally the least favored is now doing the most important thing.

Meng Xilan walked in front of Xiao Chunzi and said lightly: "When your master led you to the palace, the palace didn't have high hopes for you, but I didn't expect that at such a critical juncture, you could share your worries for the palace like this." ”

Xiao Chunzi cried like a tearful person, knelt on the ground and said: "Niangniang, the slave has to meet the grace of the mother to live to this day, and the slave is willing to be loyal to the mother and die without regrets!" ”

Meng Xilan said in a deep voice: "We don't seek death, we only seek to live." ”

She then looked at Shen Dan again and stretched out a hand.

Shen Dan hesitantly stretched out his hand to hold it, only to hear Meng Xilan say: "The prince's food, clothing and daily life are all handed over to you, you have to take good care of him for the palace." ”

Shen Dan nodded again and again.

Meng Xilan's gaze slowly moved down, and when she saw that she was still holding the immortal shoes in her arms, she sighed softly: "You remember, what this palace promised you back then, it will not change, as long as you get through this hurdle, it should be yours, and this palace will definitely give it to you." ”

Now, she deserves the reward she deserves.

Meng Xilan touched Shen Dan's head with a little pity on her face.

Zhu Lu handed the food box she brought with her to Shen Dan, and looked at the prince again: "Your Highness, you have lost too much weight, you must pay attention to the three meals." ”

Before leaving, Meng Xilan looked at Changsheng again, she held his hand, and secretly exerted force.

"The sky in the capital has changed, and this north wind will only get colder and colder day by day, you have to be careful."

Changsheng clasped the queen mother's hand and nodded heavily.

Meng Xilan said again: "Remember, you are the crown prince, and you must have the appearance of a prince at all times." ”

The way he looks makes others look at it, which is equivalent to a joke about the number of people.

Meng Xilan walked to the palace gate, turned around slowly, and looked at Changsheng fixedly, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

Meng Xilan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing in the bleak courtyard, the bright sun shining on her body, so soft and bright.

Changsheng looked at the queen mother, and silence here is better than sound. The deep eyes of the two of them were filled with deep and invisible sorrow.

Meng Xilan left the imperial palace and saw Wei Feng waiting outside.

"What? General Wei is here to escort the palace back to the palace? ”

Wei Feng saluted respectfully, and only said: "Niangniang misunderstood, Weichen is now fully responsible for the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Safe? These two words came out of his mouth, and it was really a little ironic.

Meng Xilan stood up and looked at him: "I see, then the palace should tell General Wei well, you must take good care of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Halfway through her words, she deliberately took a step closer to Wei Feng's approach.

There was a faint fragrance of flowers on her body, which made Wei Feng frown slightly.

Women's incense, like a kind of flattering medicine, is sometimes more dangerous than blood.

"If the crown prince is injured in the slightest, this palace will never let you go! And anyone else related to you! ”

Her tone was light and airy, but with a murderous aura.

That's murderous, yes.

Wei Feng's hands, which were originally hanging on the sides of his legs, unconsciously moved towards the saber at his waist, which was the instinct of a martial artist.

Wei Feng looked at Meng Xilan with his eyebrows, only to see her smiling slightly, the sunlight above the two of them was reflected in her eyes, and the reflected light was as cold as ice.

"Niangniang, you should know very well that Weichen is just acting on orders, as long as the general does not give orders, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine."

Meng Xilan smiled again: "This palace knows that you only listen to Chu Jingchuan's words, you are a loyal dog!" ”

Young and vigorous, at his age, it is the time to conquer the world and stand out from the crowd.

What he can't help but do is sarcasm and contempt.

Wei Feng's eyes turned sharply: "Loyalty, it's better than water-based poplar ......"

As soon as his words fell, Meng Xilan raised her hand and slapped him.

She didn't hit hard, but she hit it very loudly.

With her strength, she naturally won't let Wei Feng do anything, but just let him be embarrassed in front of everyone.

"General Wei, this palace has endured you for a long time, you have repeatedly spoken out of disrespect, this palace remembered that you were young and ignored it, but I didn't expect you to become more and more arrogant."

Wei Feng looked into her eyes, only to feel that this woman really didn't know what the sky and the earth were! Why, relying on the general's liking for her, she can do whatever she wants? Joke!

Meng Xilan saw that he still dared to glare at him, so without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped him again.

This time, Wei Feng didn't continue to suffer, he directly stretched out his hand to block Meng Xilan's hand, and said coldly: "Niangniang, Weichen is a dignified general, don't go too far." ”

Meng Xilan saw his arm touching his wrist, and said with a smile: "You dare to touch the ...... of this palace"

Instead of withdrawing her hand, she patted him on the cheek.

"What a dignified general, now he will only use his sword against the powerless women and children. But it doesn't matter, this palace wants General Wei to live until now, and he must have never put a woman in his eyes. In this way, this palace can also let General Wei see and understand, what kind of fate will happen if you offend a woman! ”

When she said this, she was very close to Wei Feng, as if she was whispering to him. This situation and this scene will naturally not look like it in the eyes of others.

Wei Feng stared at her, a hint of strangeness flashing in his eyes.

What does she mean by that? Was it to embarrass him?

"Niangniang, it's time for you to go back to the palace."

Meng Xilan nodded lightly: "Okay, then General Wei will escort the palace." ”

Wei Feng arched his hand and took a step back: "There is no shortage of capable people around Niangniang, and Weichen still wants to stay here and continue to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Meng Xilan looked at him deeply and stopped talking.

Zhu Lu saw that the master stretched out his hand and stepped forward at the right time.

After getting on the sedan chair, Zhulu leaned over to the curtain and asked, "Niangniang, you are too careless." Wei Feng is not simple. ”

Meng Xilan lifted the curtain and glanced at her: "You don't have to take him too seriously. ”

"Niangniang......" Zhulu had just cried, so her eyes were red, and when she saw the wind at this time, she wanted to cry even more.

"People like him are powerful, but they're too simple."

To put it bluntly, he is just a child who has not grown up, and he should not be proud and despise.

Zhu Lu wiped his eyes with his cuffs, and then looked at the master, a sneer curved into the corner of his mouth.

Meng Xilan has not yet returned to Cining Palace, and all the things about the imperial palace have already reached Chu Jingchuan's ears.

She didn't seem to lie to him, yes, just seemed to ......

After Meng Xilan returned to the palace, the anxious look on her face eased slightly.

The first thing she did when she entered the palace was to order someone to bring water and clean her hands.

Chu Jingchuan saw it really and only asked, "What, did you touch anything that shouldn't be touched?" ”

Meng Xilan didn't hide it, and wiped her hands dry. "We just slapped General Wei Feng."

Chu Jingchuan already knew, so he said, "Why did he provoke you?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "It's not to provoke, that kid is too blind." ”

Chu Jingchuan hooked the corners of his mouth, walked to her side, and touched her cheek: "As you said, she's just a child." Why do you bother with him? ”

Meng Xilan held his hand and said quietly: "You are the only one who can bully me in this world." ”

Chu Jingchuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but she didn't feel like what she would say.

Meng Xilan lowered her head and kissed the back of his hand lightly: "Now I can accompany you wholeheartedly." ”

Tonight was supposed to be the last night, and after tomorrow, he would be ready to fight.

Chu Jingchuan wasn't sure if her heart would be on his body, but as long as she was there.

After dark, Meng Xilan bathed and changed her clothes and got ready.

Chu Jingchuan's eyes gradually became feverish, and he reached out and gently took off her clothes and hugged her in his arms.

There was no revenge, no torture, just a gentle and delicate night, as if they had been old husbands and wives for many years, familiar with everything about each other, including each other's bodies.

When he kissed her, he looked like a pious teenager, as if she were his most precious treasure. Facing such a gentle him, Meng Xilan couldn't help but feel in a trance for a while, only to feel that he had changed back to the gentle and watery young man he was back then.

It was too quiet for the night.

Chu Jingchuan wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his face against her smooth back, rubbing it gently, but did not speak.

Meng Xilan was a little afraid of itching, so she moved and said, "You're going to leave before dawn, so let's take a little rest." ”

Chu Jingchuan's arm slowly tightened when he heard this, his gaze fell on her back, watching her body rise and fall with her breathing, and suddenly felt very relieved.

She was right next to him, breathing quietly.

Meng Xilan pillowed her arms, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and didn't look at Chu Jingchuan.

She was single-mindedly waiting for the dawn so that the people behind her would leave.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Jingchuan suddenly said a word softly.

"Three moles."

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she didn't understand: "What did you say?" ”

Chu Jingchuan kissed her on the back three times, in three different positions.

"You have three moles on your back."

Meng Xilan's heart trembled slightly, only to hear him say again: "Lan'er, you turn around." ”

He called her by her name, so that she could not refuse.

Meng Xilan turned around and lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look at his bottomless eyes.

Chu Jingchuan stared at her, and said half-loudly: "Think about it carefully, you and I are both fools." ”

His lips pressed lightly against her forehead: "We all missed the person we care about the most in this life." went around all the way, but they still returned to each other. ”

They reluctantly separated, and left with their backs to each other, walking farther and farther, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, they found that the person standing opposite was still the same person who had been separated.

"I stood there waiting for you, but you refused to look back. Lan'er, you're so ruthless, and you're so stupid. ”

Meng Xilan blinked: "It's enough for me to be stupid alone, why do you want to be stupid with me." ”

She was blinded by hatred, and she could only see what she wanted to see, and he was the same, because of resentment, he forced himself to this point of no return.

"Lan'er, can you tell me the truth?"

He suddenly lifted her face and made her look at himself.

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and she thought to herself, only this time, no matter what he wanted to ask, she would tell him the truth.

"Have you ever regretted it?" This has always been the most distressing question for him, and it is also the most tangled problem in his heart.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes tightly, and suddenly she didn't want to tell him the truth again.

How she got to where she is today, step by step, she knows better than anyone. Don't regret it? It was the last question she dared to answer.

To say that there is no regret is a lie. If there is any regret, then she herself will become a joke. Being a human being in two lives, or not being able to make yourself without regrets, is stupid and incompetent.

"Lan'er, tell me, have you ever regretted it?"

Chu Jingchuan didn't give her a chance to dodge, he must hear an answer tonight.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath, then curled the corners of her lips, trying to pull a smile, but it was full of helplessness and bitterness.

"I regret it." She said it softly.

The moment she stepped into the palace gate again, the moment she saw Zhou Shili again, the moment when the crown prince Zhou Youping threatened her, and the moment when Chu Jingwen was elected as the crown princess and she was powerless to stop it...... There were so many that she couldn't count the moments.

She wanted to admit defeat in front of him, and admit defeat completely. Admit that she messed everything up, that she was wrong, that she was completely wrong.

When Chu Jingchuan heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and her hot lips fell on her lips again.

The bitter mood slowly spread between the hearts of the two.

In the past ten years, she has worked hard in the palace, and every step is a calculation. And he has experienced bloody storms and bloody winds, and won back his life again and again on the battlefield of conquering cities.

I have paid so much and sacrificed so much, but after all, I still live with remorse.

When the sky was bright, Chu Jingchuan was about to prepare to leave.

Meng Xilan wore a middle coat and changed his clothes in person.

"Only this time, let me send you away like a wife."

After a while, the palace maids and eunuchs came to serve one after another.

When I saw the majestic general, I felt a chill in my heart.

After putting on the armor, he was full of murderous energy.

Before Chu Jingchuan left, he just clenched Meng Xilan's hand in his palm, shook it hard, and said nothing after that.

As she watched him leave, an indescribable feeling came over her.

Perhaps, this will be the last time they will see each other.

Meng Xilan was still distracted, but she heard Zhulu beside her whisper remind: "Niangniang, you didn't drink the avoidance soup last night." ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she realized the seriousness of the matter. Although only a slim possibility...... But she couldn't help but be on guard......

She looked at Zhulu, and before she could speak, she heard her say, "Master Jiao is already outside." ”

Seeing that she was so careful about herself, Meng Xilan couldn't help but sigh: "If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have delayed this matter." ”

In fact, strictly speaking, she has already delayed. It's just that in front of Chu Jingchuan last night, she really couldn't mention the matter of "avoiding child soup......

Jiao Changqing walked in with a gloomy face, and the moment he saw Meng Xilan, there was disappointment and sadness in his eyes.

Meng Xilan knew that he had been prepared, and sure enough, in just half an hour, Jiao Changqing sent the boiled decoction to her, but her face was still not good.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Niangniang, this decoction doesn't work all the time. If Niangniang is willing to nod, Weichen still has a way to make Niangniang never suffer in the future! ”

He also knows that the medicine is more ferocious than the "Avoiding Child-Avoiding Soup", and with just one bowl, Meng Xilan will never have the chance to conceive a child again.

Meng Xilan naturally understood what he meant, and shook her head slightly: "It won't be so coincidental, this palace is just taking precautions." ”

Just once...... That's absolutely impossible.
