I haven't seen her for a month, and Feng Shi only feels that Meng Xilan seems to be a different person.

Her clothes are becoming more and more flamboyant and luxurious, and her demeanor and tone are different from before, revealing a domineering momentum everywhere. Come to think of it, she is so beautiful in the palace, she naturally has proud capital.

The mother and daughter sat opposite each other, leaving only Zhulu alone to serve.

Meng Xilan's expression suddenly became serious: "Erniang, why didn't you send someone to send me a message in advance about entering the palace today." ”

Seeing her serious expression, Feng Shi seemed to be a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Lan'er, I also got the news early in the morning, how can I make preparations in a hurry?" ”

Meng Xilan asked her to tell herself what had happened.

Feng Shi leaned on her and said, "Yesterday, I went to the Guogong Mansion with several official wives to celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady of Marquis Su. Perhaps because of you, the eldest lady treated me very politely, and talked to me for a while. Speaking of this, Feng Shi raised his chin slightly, feeling very proud: "After coming and going, I mentioned you, saying that my family is very concerned about you, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I want to go to the palace to see you...... Originally, I was just talking, after all, the palace is not a place where anyone wants to come. But I didn't think about it, so I mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and the queen's will came down early this morning, which scared me! ”

The more Meng Xilan listened, the deeper her eyebrows furrowed.

It's normal that the words outside the palace spread so quickly. But the queen really cared, and specially invited Feng over, the meaning of this is complicated and difficult.

Meng Xilan's expression looked a little solemn, and Feng Shi was surprised, "Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that I'm not here today? ”

Meng Xilan was in a heavy mood, but she didn't want to lose Feng's good mood, so she sat over with a smile and took Feng's hand affectionately: "No, Erniang can come to see me, I'm not happy." It was just so sudden that it made me panic a little......"

Feng didn't believe that she would dislike herself, so he held her hand back and said, "Erniang understands, don't say it's you, even the old ancestor is scared enough." The queen mother gave us such a great dignity, I have to make a good list when I go back, and send a generous gift to the Guogong Mansion. ”

Meng Xilan thought slightly: "Well, yes." However, Erniang still had to discuss with her grandmother, so as not to be too heavy. ”

Feng Shi knew in his heart, "I understand that this kind of major event in the scene naturally needs the ancestors to be the masters." ”

…

At night, Meng Xilan slept with Zhou Youning, looking at the candlelight with her eyes open, and she didn't feel sleepy.

Queen Su and Concubine Ning each have their own expressions and tricks, and no one can afford to offend.

After a night, the anxiety in Meng Xilan's heart did not ease in the slightest, but became heavier.

When you are upset, it is best to practice calligraphy.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing saw that she was rarely interested, and hurriedly stepped forward to lay paper and ink, and served diligently.

Meng Xilan frowned and held the pen, her expression was extremely serious, and her hands were heavy, and she almost broke the rice paper as soon as she put down the pen.

Suddenly, the bead curtain on the opposite side shook slightly, and Gao Fuli stood at the door with a food box, patting the snow on his robe, and raised his feet into the house and said, "Master, take a look......

Meng Xilan didn't like to be disturbed, raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "Why are you flustered." ”

Gao Fuli just lifted the food box and replied, "Master, this is the last time we went...... The food box left behind at the end was picked up by a sweeping eunuch at the palace gate early this morning. ”

The head he said was referring to the Changqing Palace.

Meng Xilan put down the brush: "Who sent it?" ”

Gao Fuli shook his head: "I don't know, no one sees it." ”

Zhulu then interjected: "Is there anything in the box?" ”

Gao Fu's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "Yes, yes...... Even the snacks that the master ordered to bring over last time were all in there. It's a pity that they are all frozen and can't be eaten. ”

Meng Xilan's heart moved slightly.

Just sent it back untouched?

Zhulu was a little angry, took the food box directly from Xiao Lizi's hand, looked down and opened it, and said, "Miss, you see, this good thing has been ruined in vain, and you still think about him so much......"

Meng Xilan didn't feel good in her heart. It seems that Zhou Youlin doesn't want to accept her love.

Yes, but she has only met a few times in a hurry, so why should she bother with other people's affairs. With this kind of effort, it is better to think more about yourself......

"Forget it, it's just a few pieces of snacks, just throw it away." Meng Xilan commanded lightly.

She picked up the pen again, but couldn't write anything anymore.

Seeing her unhappy, Zhu Lu hurriedly said, "Is Miss tired?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "I'm not tired, I'm just bored." You go out for a walk with me. ”

Zhulu agreed, turned around and winked at Gao Fuli, "You follow along, you are most familiar with the Tao in the palace." ”

He smiled when he heard this, showing his tiger teeth: "The slave has to be ordered." ”

It came out to breathe, and it was really much more comfortable.

Meng Xilan reconsidered her situation and felt that the most important thing at the moment was to do two things well.

The first thing is to find an opportunity to get out of the palace as soon as possible and discuss it with your family.

The second thing is to calm down and not be disturbed by the formation of the queen and Concubine Ning. What to do, after all, she still has the queen mother and princess by her side to rely on for the time being.

Looking at the palace wall with no end in sight, Meng Xilan became more and more homesick.

Along the way, I didn't see a few palace people, I didn't feel right, and after going back, Meng Xilan knew that something really happened.

Half an hour ago, the prince suddenly fell seriously ill and was in critical condition. At this time, all the people from the Tai Hospital gathered in the Tai Palace, and I heard that even the emperor had passed.

Through the thick curtain, Meng Xilan could vaguely hear the Queen Mother's reprimand.

"A good person, no matter how you say that you will fall, you will fall, and there is no sign of it. The mourning family has been instructed to let you serve the prince well, but you just don't let the mourning family worry. If something really happens to the prince, the mourning family wants you to fall to the ground immediately. ”

Meng Xilan was slightly shocked when she heard this.

How could it be that the prince suddenly fell ill? Yesterday, he also came to Cining Palace to invite An to come, and he looked good.

She didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went in to greet the Queen Mother.

At this moment, there were several people kneeling in front of the Queen Mother, all of them with fresh faces.

Meng Xilan didn't care about it, hurriedly walked to the side of the Queen Mother, and persuaded softly: "Queen Mother, your body just can't move." ”

The Queen Mother turned pale with anger, and said angrily: "These useless fools! ”

Meng Xilan sat down next to her, her palm gently ran down her back, and intentionally or unintentionally glanced at those who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to apologize, and secretly thought about it.

Presumably, these people were all sent by the Queen Mother to serve the prince, which can be regarded as eyeliner.

"Mother, the old slave is guilty. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been healthy, and there must be something wrong with this sudden illness. The leading grandmother trembled and defended.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she stood up suddenly, and Meng Xilan hurriedly held her arm, for fear that she would get dizzy if she got up.

"What do you mean by that?"

"...... The old slave suspects that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been killed and poisoned......"
