Sometimes, it is better to see clearly, but it is better, muddy, avoid its edge, and pass the time better.

"You've been staring at me since the beginning, could it be that I have something on my face?"

Meng Xilan seemed to be smiling, and personally made a bowl of tea and sent it to him.

Chu Jingchuan's gaze slowly moved down, looking at her hand, and frowned unconsciously: "Why are your hands so rough?" ”

Her hands were always soft and delicate, like the finest satin.

Meng Xilan said lightly: "Now, there is no distinction between masters and slaves in the palace, everyone has to do things. ”

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is a problem. However, I heard that the situation outside the palace is even worse.

"I can arrange for someone to serve you."

Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "No, there are enough people around me." And I don't need anyone to serve me! ”

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

She asked vaguely, as if she were referring to outside the palace, or outside the city.

Chu Jingchuan's eyes changed slightly: "Do you know? The people of the city now call me a plague god, and a devil who has demanded countless lives. They looked at me as if I was the worst person in the world. ”

Meng Xilan listened quietly, her expression unchanged, and she only poured herself a cup of tea.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and saw that Chu Jingchuan was still looking at her, so she looked at him again and said, "Do you care about those words?" ”

She knew he cared, otherwise, he wouldn't be here.

Chu Jingchuan gently pinched her chin with two fingers, making her gaze parallel to herself, and then stared at her calm and waveless face, and asked in a low voice, "In your eyes, what do I look like?" ”

Meng Xilan groaned slightly, and slowly spoke: "I knew you when I was four years old. At that time, we were all children, simple and innocent children. ”

Chu Jingchuan smiled when he heard this: "So, you still treat me as a child now." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head with a smile: "No, I just think you are you, no different from before." ”

When he was young, he was as gentle as water, but at the age of three he followed his father and brother to learn martial arts, and at the age of fifteen, he killed the first enemy in his life.

Meng Xilan did not forget that the young man who smiled slightly at himself under the osmanthus tree had blood on his hands a long time ago. Chu Jingchuan is indeed a gentle person, but he will never be soft on the enemy!

In his heart, the Chu River and the Han Boundary are clearly divided. On one side are their own people, and on the other side are enemies.

Chu Jingchuan stroked Meng Xilan's long hair and asked her to sit beside her. "I don't care what other people think of me, I only care about you." After saying this, his emotions suddenly became a little excited, and he held her long hair tightly in the palm of his hand, "I have already lost the world, but I can't bear you." ”

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed when she heard this, then she lowered her head and gently leaned on his shoulder.

His words sounded so desperate.

…

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the atmosphere in the capital is dead silent. Those once bustling long streets are now deserted.

The shops on the street either have no plaques, or the doors are closed, and heavy copper locks are firmly locked. There are very few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally you can see a few children playing, and after a while, they will be taken home by their parents who rush out.

After getting Chu Jingchuan's consent, Meng Xilan stepped out of the palace gate for the first time and saw such a scene.

Meng Xilan came to the door of Meng's house, only to see that outside the closed gate, it was mottled, the door paint was broken, and there were still damaged places, and then repaired it a little with a wooden board.

Meng Xilan looked at this door, and her heart was inexplicably sour.

She took out Chu Jingchuan's token and handed it to the guards guarding the Chu family, asking them to let herself in.

When the door of the Meng family was opened, Meng Xilan was almost so sad that she burst into tears.

The front yard was empty and empty.

Meng Xilan took the hand of the jewel and walked forward slowly, and after walking for a while, someone finally appeared.

The person who came was a grandmother, who looked a little familiar, and seemed to be an old man in the family.

She looked at Meng Xilan with a wary expression, and reacted a little before she realized who she had seen.

"...... It's a sissy ......."

The grandmother suddenly began to scream, alarming the others in the courtyard.

The first person to come out was Meng Xilan's eldest uncle, but after not seeing him for two years, his hair was all white, and his body was a little rickety, and when he walked, he still needed to use crutches.

The eldest uncle walked over step by step, looking at Meng Xilan and being speechless. Meng Xilan was about to reach out to help him, but who knows, he suddenly fell to his knees and cried at her.

Meng Xilan froze in place, not knowing what to do for a while.

One after another, the family came out to greet her. When I saw her, they were all teary-eyed.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle are much older, and as for the father, he has been bedridden, and it is said that he has not been able to go down to the ground for two whole months.

Meng Zhenglu lay on the bed, weak and tired. He never imagined that he would live to see his daughter.

When Meng Xilan appeared, he thought it was a dream, until Feng Shi said softly: "Master, take a closer look, it's Niangniang who has returned." ”

Meng Zhenglu took a deep breath and stretched out his hand towards his daughter.

Meng Xilan grabbed it, sat down on the edge of his bed, and smiled at him hard.

After Chu Jingchuan's rebellion, the Meng family's life was not easy.

When the capital was in the most chaotic, the Meng family was also attacked by many people, if it wasn't for Chu Jingchuan to send people to guard, they would have broken into the Meng family and destroyed this place.

Meng Xilan was full of guilt for her family, and she failed to bring them good news.

Meng Zhenglu looked at his daughter and said, "Daughter, do you know?" Dad really regrets it, regrets that he shouldn't have sent you to the palace. ”

Meng Xilan just sighed lightly when she heard this: "But my daughter doesn't regret it." ”

To this day, maybe she was wrong. She is not the only one who can make mistakes.

Meng Zhenglu sat up, looked out the window, and then ordered the Feng family to go out first.

He lowered his voice and said, "Prince, he ...... What's going on? ”

The prince will not go missing, it must be the daughter's arrangement.

"There is no news, but my daughter believes that he is safe."

If someone finds his whereabouts, then, Chu Jingchuan will definitely know.

Meng Zhenglu's eyes flashed, and then he nodded: "I believe it too." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you this time." Before leaving, Meng Xilan spit out this sentence faintly.

Meng Zhenglu held her hand and secretly forced: "You have brought me the best news." ”

The crown prince is not in the capital, not in the hands of Chu Jingchuan, which is the greatest hope for the Meng family.

…

On the way back to the palace, Meng Xilan's carriage encountered a little trouble.

The wheels of the carriage suddenly broke, so they had to be repaired improvised.

Who knows, it was just such a moment of kung fu that something happened.

A pair of centaurs who came out of nowhere raided Meng Xilan.

They were heavily armed and ruthless, as if they were going to kill her.

Almost all of the guards who were responsible for protecting her were seriously wounded. And Baozhu is a weak woman, and she can't protect her at all.

Seeing those people coming with knives, Meng Xilan subconsciously took a step back.

It wasn't the first time she had been attacked, and she subconsciously looked around, wondering if she could escape? Obviously, there was no way she could escape.

When the blade went straight to her throat, she felt a cold wind pass through her ears, swishing, against her sideburns, and the wind was also sharp, as if it could cut through her skin.

The arrow hit, and the person in front of Meng Xilan, the person fell straight down, followed by a second, third, and fourth......

The archer shot at every turn, and soon knocked down all those who had stabbed him.

It's a short time, so short that it's just a breath away.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes and opened them again, she turned to look back, and then she realized that there were many people in ambush on the second floor of the shops along the way.

She looked all the way over, and from the street to the end of the street, they were lying in ambush there, always ready.

No wonder, the capital is in chaos like this, Chu Jingchuan is willing to let her out of the palace......

Those who performed the assassination did not leave a living mouth.

Meng Xilan was escorted back to the palace by someone arranged by Chu Jingchuan, and they changed to a carriage.

Baozhu sat in the car, holding her hand, and was shaking slightly.

"Mother, who is trying to harm you?"

Meng Xilan didn't speak, but she already had an answer in her heart.

After returning to the palace, Baozhu was shocked, but Meng Xilan acted as if nothing had happened.

In the evening, Chu Jingchuan came. He wasn't alone, he brought someone with him.

Meng Xilan had never seen that person, and he still had torture instruments on his body.

As soon as the man came to Meng Xilan's face, he was pressed to the ground by Chu Jingchuan.

Meng Xilan looked at the man, and then at Chu Jingchuan, puzzled.

"This is the man who stabbed you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the temple was stunned.

Meng Xilan looked at the man and didn't speak, looking at his appearance, he should just be a scapegoat.

"Why does he want to kill me?" Meng Xilan asked bluntly.

The man lowered his head and didn't speak, and Chu Jingchuan said, "I will cut off his head with my own hands." ”

Meng Xilan just shook her head when she heard this: "There is already too much blood in the palace. Please don't kill here again, General. ”

When Zhulu died tragically here, the dazzling scarlet scarlet pierced her heart deeply. She didn't want to see another drop of blood in Cining Palace.

Chu Jingchuan's eyes sank, he stopped talking, and he took the person out.

Meng Xilan didn't care if the person was dead or alive, because he wasn't the real mastermind at all. She understands it in her heart, and Chu Jingchuan's heart probably understands it too......

After dark, Chu Jingchuan returned to Cining Palace, he changed into civilian clothes and came to Meng Xilan's side.

There was a fragrance on his body, especially on his hands, which seemed to be using some kind of spice, as if he wanted to cover something.

Meng Xilan turned her eyes to look at him, saw him half-squatting, looked at herself and said, "What happened during the day, scared you?" ”

Meng Xilan glanced at him, then silently withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and muttered softly, "What other things can scare me now?" From the time I entered the palace to the present, are there still fewer people who stab me in the back? ”

Chu Jingchuan's face changed when he heard this, and he reached out to touch her hand, but Meng Xilan dodged it and said lightly: "I'm fine." ”

Chu Jingchuan's hand froze and didn't move, and then said frankly: "You know I'm lying to you." ”

Meng Xilan asked him rhetorically: "The person who dares to move me under your nose, besides Wei Feng, will there be anyone else?" ”

Her eyes are too poisonous, her mind is too accurate, and she can't hide anything.

Chu Jingchuan's face sank when he heard this: "He has followed me for many years, and he was born and died with me...... And, now is the time to employ people! ”

As soon as his words fell, Meng Xilan laughed softly. "I know that Wei Feng is a usable person, and I have no intention of pursuing it."

Obviously, he did this too much, found an irrelevant person, brought it to her, and made her disgusting.

"Sooner or later, I'll give you an explanation." Chu Jingchuan sighed, and then said, "Don't worry." ”

Meng Xilan's expression was indifferent: "No need, I don't care." Jealousy is something that drives people crazy. ”

Eat one's heart out...... Chu Jingchuan didn't understand the meaning of this for a while, but frowned.

Meng Xilan met his suspicious gaze and said lightly: "Wei Feng didn't want to get rid of me for the sake of your imperial hegemony. He really hates me, hates me to the core...... Because I'm the woman you like. ”

She didn't want to break it, but helplessly, Chu Jingchuan couldn't figure it out by herself.

"You ......" Sure enough, her words shocked him.

He stood up suddenly, stared at Meng Xilan's face and said, "Do you know what nonsense you're talking about? ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "Love is born from the heart, how can I talk nonsense?" You only see his faithfulness, but you can't see his sincerity. ”

Chu Jingchuan looked at her in shock and was speechless for a while.

He didn't suspect that Wei Feng had always been loyal to him, why did he have to act so arbitrarily towards Meng Xilan? Still, he didn't believe her words. That's loyalty, it's stubbornness, and it's not jealousy!

"It can't be!"

Meng Xilan's eyes turned slightly: "Nothing is impossible, anything can happen in this world." ”

Chu Jingchuan was angry, turned his back and said, "You'd better not talk about it anymore." This kind of trick to sow discord is really too shoddy. ”

She did it on purpose. Take advantage of this opportunity to trip Wei Feng, the most useful person by his side.

"You don't believe me?"

"Meng Xilan, you have never accompanied me from birth to death!"

His words were extremely sharp.

Meng Xilan slowly opened her eyes: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it." Perhaps, next time my luck will not be so good. ”

There will definitely be a next time.

Chu Jingchuan was angry and turned away.

Baozhu had a heart hanging in the outer hall, and after he left, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Chu Jingchuan left with a calm face, this must not be a good thing. And during the day, Niangniang was assassinated again, why did these bad things all collide together?

Seeing her panicked, Meng Xilan couldn't help sighing: "Don't be afraid, what else can scare us now?" ”

If a person is not even afraid of death, what is there to fear.
