"Queen, don't you understand? If Meng Xilan doesn't die for a day, you and I will never come out. Only by getting rid of her, will the emperor see us in his eyes. ”

When Zhang Rong'er spoke, she smiled fiercely, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to have been quenched with extremely poisonous juice, glowing with a strange luster, which made people's backs cold.

Song Wenxiu looked at Zhang Rong'er's crazy expression, and her heart sank slightly.

"You're less crazy. Don't you understand? Even if there is no concubine, you and I will not be the person in the emperor's heart. ”

After all the previous things, Song Wenxiu clearly realized a cruel fact. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't separate the relationship between Meng Xilan and the emperor, they couldn't be separated at all...... Even if they are thousands of miles away, they can still keep each other firmly in their hearts.

In the past, with her stubbornness to not admit defeat, she always felt that she was nothing inferior to Meng Xilan. But now that I think about it, I don't have the ability and opportunity to win her at all. How many years of ups and downs, how many years of interdependence, the reason why the emperor is the emperor is precisely because he has Meng Xilan by his side.

Sometimes, Song Wenxiu even felt that she could completely die. She can't win against Meng Xilan, she will never ......

Zhang Rong'er listened to her words, her expression changed instantly, she looked at Song Wenxiu with a faint gaze, and said softly: "The queen mother said this too early. ”

She doesn't believe other people's words because she trusts herself more.

Song Wenxiu stared at her for a while, only to feel that she was hopeless.

She shook her head: "Today's matter, I will temporarily suppress it for you." But if there is a next time, it will be difficult for the gods to ensure that you are well in the world. ”

Zhang Rong'er pursed her lips and smiled again when she heard this: "Thank you for the reminder of the queen, concubine." ”

Xu felt a little more pity for Zhang Rong'er's situation in his heart, but Song Wenxiu did not use the topic to play, but completely suppressed the whole thing, so far no one was allowed to mention a word.

Song Wenxiu had a faint intuition in her heart that there would be a big event in Cining Palace soon. Therefore, now is not the time for Zhang Rong'er to go under the knife, although she is hateful, she is also pitiful.

……

The weather in June is always changing, sunny for a while and rainy for a while.

In order to raise the fetus with peace of mind, Meng Xilan has to rest in bed for eight or nine hours almost every day, and occasionally gets out of bed and walks around, which is also brief and gentle, for fear of accidentally hurting the fetus.

Jiao Changqing never forgot to tell her every time she came over, let her rest more, work less, and pay attention to her diet, you can't eat cold food, even fruit snacks must be carefully selected, not careless.

Meng Xilan has no symptoms of joy now, and her appetite is not bad, but she can't move while lying on the couch all day, which makes her a little uncomfortable, and sometimes she wants to get out of bed and walk, but she is persuaded by Zhulu and Zhuqing halfway. "Niangniang, have you forgotten Lord Jiao's orders?"

Just with this sentence, Meng Xilan put away her thoughts. Even if her back hurts, she just as honestly lies still.

Up and down Cining Palace, there were only a few palace people who knew that Meng Xilan was pregnant, so everyone thought she was just sick, but no one thought that she was pregnant. As for Zhou Youchen's side, only Gao Fuli knows about it.

Every time Zhou Youchen comes to Cining Palace, Gao Fuli will personally follow him, firstly to serve the master, and secondly, to know the recent situation of the mother anytime and anywhere.

Today, Zhou Youchen came a little late, because he was stumped by political affairs, but he still came in a hurry, and he didn't even eat lunch.

Coincidentally, Zhulu deliberately asked the kitchen to boil longan wolfberry crucian carp soup for the master.

The clear and innocent soup is boiled at the right time.

Zhou Youchen changed his previous worries, watched Zhulu come in with a tray, smelled the smell, and said deliberately: "It's so fragrant." ”

Meng Xilan also smiled when she heard this: "The emperor didn't eat lunch, he must be hungry at this time, why don't you let the small kitchen prepare some food." ”

Zhou Youchen shook his head and said, "Don't bother, I'm not very hungry." ”

Meng Xilan didn't follow, but said: "Then the emperor will eat the same as me." ”

Zhu Lu took out two bowls of crucian carp soup, and Zhou Youchen took the initiative to take the bowl in her hand and said to Meng Xilan: "Come, I will feed you." ”

Meng Xilan blocked his hand: "Your Majesty, don't mess with me, how can I drink like this?" Let's let Zhulu come. ”

Zhou Youchen deliberately frowned at her: "My words are holy decrees, you have to be obedient." ”

Meng Xilan couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, so she had to take two sips of his hand.

In order to make the master eat comfortably and satisfied, Zhulu really worked hard, and the fish soup was cooked so that there was no fishy smell at all, but it was fragrant and delicious, and it was a little sweet.

While talking, Zhu Qing came back with no worries, she picked a bouquet of flowers in the yard and wanted to give it to Meng Xilan.

Seeing this, Gao Fuli immediately stepped forward to block her way, and said with a smile: "Little master, these flower slaves will be collected for you first, and then they will be given to the mother when you turn around." ”

Seeing that he had taken away his flowers, Carefree pouted unhappily: "That's for Niangniang." ”

Meng Xilan hurriedly said: "Xiao Lizi, let Zhuqing find a vase and put it on the table for me." After speaking, he beckoned to Wuwu: "Come here." ”

ran over without worry, and was about to pounce on Meng Xilan's body directly. Zhou Youchen's eyes were quick, and he took the lead in reaching out and hugging her.

He put her on his lap and said gently, "You can't be so reckless in the future." ”

Carefree, blinking at him.

Meng Xilan hurriedly said that it was not in the way, she was just a child after all, and she didn't have to tie her hands with those palace people.

Zhou Youchen glanced at her meaningfully, and only said: "You can't even take care of yourself now, how can you take good care of her." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this: "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Zhou Youchen looked down at Wuwu, touched her head, and thought for a while before saying, "It's better to send Wuwu to the Meng family for a few days for the time being." ”

If it is handed over to someone else to take care of, Meng Xilan must not be at ease, only if it is handed over to someone from the Meng family, she can feel at ease.

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly when she heard this: "Why bother so much? Although I can't take care of her personally, I still have Zhulu and Zhuqing here. Your Majesty, it's better to leave worry-free by my side. With her, I lie here every day, and it's not so boring. ”

It took a lot of effort to adapt to life in the palace, and she didn't want her to adapt to other places.

Worry-free didn't understand, the meaning of their words was just to look at the soup bowl in Zhulu's hand, and pursed his lips a little greedily.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan hurriedly said: "Zhuqing, you take Wuwu to drink some soup outside." ”

Zhou Youchen stared at her and asked seriously, "Is it really okay to leave worry-free?" ”

Jiao Changqing told again and again that during the period of childbirth, Meng Xilan must not bother.

Meng Xilan nodded slightly: "It's okay, I'll let Zhuqing take care of her." It took a long time for the boy to get close to me, and I didn't want to give up all my work. ”

Zhou Youchen sighed softly: "Okay, I'll rely on you again, but this is the last time." From now on, you will listen to me in everything. ”

Meng Xilan nodded with a smile.

Zhou Youchen's gaze slowly moved down, landed on her stomach, and said in a softened tone: "Come, let me touch it again." ”

This has become his daily homework, stroking Meng Xilan's belly, and talking to the child in his belly by the way.

Meng Xilan lay down quietly, Zhou Youchen lay sideways beside her, touched her belly, and was silent for a while before saying, "It would be nice if it was a daughter." ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, "Why?" ”

She thought he was expecting more from his son.

Zhou Youchen smiled lightly: "If it is a daughter, then it must be the same as you, a caring and sensible child." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head; "Don't be as good as me, my temper is too stubborn."

Zhou Youchen raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a doting face: "I just like your stubbornness." After speaking, he bent down and kissed Meng Xilan lightly on his lower abdomen.

In the following month, Meng Xilan's life began to become difficult, and after the symptoms of the joy appeared, she could hardly eat anything, and could only rely on these soups and water to maintain her strength and nutrition.

Every morning after waking up, she would start vomiting as soon as she smelled the food. Meng Xilan's sensitivity to smell made her suffer, especially when it came time to drink the fetal pill, she had to drink the medicine in one gulp, and she had to try to hold herself back from spitting it out.

Jiao Changqing saw her suffer so much, and had to come up with a way to help her. Her body is already weak, and if she continues to toss like this, she will collapse sooner or later.

Jiao Changqing used acupuncture points to seal her sense of smell and taste, so that no matter what she ate or drank, she couldn't smell or taste it, even if the thick and bitter decoction reached her mouth, it was like tasteless water.

Thanks to this method, Meng Xilan was finally able to eat something. However, this is only the first hurdle, and there are still many difficulties in the future.

After four months of pregnancy, Meng Xilan began to have frequent abdominal pain, and every time the pain hit, her heart would swell with infinite fear. She was afraid that she would lose her child like this, and she was even more afraid that she would not be able to persevere.

In the days that followed, Meng Xilan became thinner and thinner, more and more emaciated. Her cheeks were sunken, her chin was pointed, and only her lower abdomen was slightly raised, which looked extremely incongruous.

Her appearance is heart-wrenching and unsettling, and when Zhou Youchen comes to see her every day, he always has to prepare in advance to ensure that he will not show an expression that should not be shown and say things that should not be said in front of her.

By now, it's too late to regret it. Meng Xilan had already given everything for this child, and he could no longer persuade her to let go.

Meng Xilan couldn't bear to let Zhou Youchen see her haggard appearance, and asked Zhulu to put down the gauze tent next to the bed every time, however, Zhou Youchen didn't listen to her every time, and insisted on lifting the curtain, so she had to look at her carefully.

"Don't look at it, Your Majesty, I'm too ugly."

Zhou Youchen smiled at her when he heard this, only put her hands in the palms of his hands, and said gently: "No, in my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful." ”
