After a few days, the will of the palace was one after another, first issued an edict to the world, and the emperor was looking for a good medicine to cure the epidemic, and then issued a clear decree to give Zhou Youlin the name of "Xian", from then on, he is no longer just the fourth prince, but the "Prince Xian", the first prince among the nine sons of the royal family during the Huiqing period.

When the decree came, it was the time of breakfast.

For the first time, Gonggong Fu handed down the decree for the emperor, and entered the tent tremblingly, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, holding a bright scroll in both hands, holding it flat in front of his eyes, and slowly unfolding it.

Meng Xizhao and Meng Xilan helped Zhou Youlin to kneel down to receive the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Zhou Youlin, the fourth son of the emperor, is benevolent, filial piety and virtuous, wise and witty, elegant and elegant, and has a clear understanding. Changzhou matter, my son in the official position, meritorious service, follow the practice of the clan, because of the discipline of the merit, that is, the favor awarded, with the standard Maoshi, hereby given the name of the prince of Xian, proclamation to the world, Xian envoy knowledge, prepare the book of rites, the same day to execute, Qin this! ”

A holy decree, every word.

Zhou Youlin knelt on his knees, lowered his eyes and listened to the order, his face was neither happy nor sad, expressionless, like a static image. This kind of glory, now to him, is a bit like a mirror, which can be seen but not touched.

Fu Gonggong trembled and finished reading the holy decree, and a layer of sweat was already pouring out of his palms.

"Your Highness, please accept the order." He could finally raise his eyes to look at Zhou Youlin.

Just one glance is enough to make people shocked.

The four princes in front of him, no, it should be Prince Xian, skinny and pale,

and the former handsome Shenwu

's appearance is so different that it's like a different person......

Gonggong Fu retracted his gaze with some fear, and only handed over the holy decree to Zhou Youlin's hands.

Zhou Youlin took the holy decree and said slowly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Gonggong Fu cleared his throat and said, "Please Your Highness have a good life and recuperate, and he will return to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Youlin met his slightly evasive gaze, sneered secretly, and there was a gleam in his eyes: "My father-in-law has work." ”

Father-in-law Fu didn't dare to stay in the tent for longer, and after kneeling on the ground and saluting, he left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Zhou Youlin couldn't help but sneer: "He's really afraid of me......"

No, to put it more bluntly, he was afraid of his illness.

Meng Xilan comforted softly: "Now that His Royal Highness is already a prince and has a high position, he is naturally afraid!" Not only be afraid, but also respectful. Your Highness, you take a rest first, and I'll go and say a few words to Gonggong Fu. ”

Zhou Youlin nodded when he heard this.

Meng Xizhao helped him back to the bed to rest, while Meng Xilan called the hurried Fu Gonggong.

"Father-in-law, please stay ......"

Gonggong Fu's back stiffened, and he hurriedly turned around and solemnized: "Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Today is also a good day, why is my father-in-law uneasy?" After speaking, he took out a gold ingot from his hand and handed it to him, "This is the tea money that the prince asked me to give to my father-in-law." ”

The gold entered his eyes, and the expression of Father-in-law Fu changed again.

"Slave Princess Xie, Lord Xie."

Meng Xilan looked at his expression and said quietly: "Father-in-law is the first time to see the Fourth Highness today, and he is apprehensive, but it is reasonable, but when father-in-law walks in the palace, he should understand the importance of joy and anger. ”

As soon as Gonggong Fu put the gold in his hand, he heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "The slave didn't do it on purpose, just because the slave preached the holy decree for the first time in his life, and his heart was too nervous, so he acted tremblingly and did not know the essentials. ”

Meng Xilan smiled again: "It's okay, I said that today is a good day, father-in-law hurry back to the palace to resume his life." It is also good to make the long live Lord and the ladies of the palace happy. ”

Glad?! When Father-in-law Fu heard this, he was embarrassed and had to bow his head.

The four princes are all so thin that they have lost their faces...... If the Lord of Long Live sees the current appearance of the Fourth Highness, how can he still be happy? It seems that the princess still wants me to report good news and not bad news!

Alas, he has a short hand, not to mention that he doesn't dare to say anything.

"Yes, the slave will go back to the palace to report safety."

After Gonggong Fu left, Meng Xizhao came out of the tent, looked at Meng Xilan's back, sighed meaningfully, and took two steps forward and said, "Lan'er, I have something to say to you." ”

Meng Xilan looked up at the sky: "The weather is good today, I'll walk around with my brother." ”

Meng Xizhao nodded. The brother and sister staggered a few steps slightly, talking as they walked.

"Your Royal Highness has been crowned king, Lan'er, shouldn't you consider going back?" Meng Xizhao spoke lightly, but his tone was a little dignified.

Meng Xilan slowed down: "Big brother, where do you want me to go back?" Is it back to the palace? Or go home? ”

"It's okay to go anywhere, as long as you want, you must have the ability to go back."

These days, Meng Xizhao has been paying attention to her sister's every move, she is not in a hurry, she is not in a hurry, she is not in a hurry to take care of the big and small affairs here, there are calculations and scheming. It wasn't that he wasn't unaware of the plans, he was just not sure, why was she doing this?

Meng Xilan smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, I won't go back, and I don't have the ability to go back." ”

If she really wants to leave, she also wants their family to be neat and go back safely.

Meng Xizhao stood still when he heard this, and said seriously: "Lan'er, the stakes are very high, you should think about it again." This disaster has dragged on for more than half a month, the illness of the fourth highness has been repeated, and the father and second brother are also suffering from illness, if something really happens, we will only have you in the palace to count on you...... Now that His Royal Highness has been crowned king, you have done everything you can do for him. ”

Meng Xilan saw that her brother looked serious, and said solemnly: "Not yet, big brother, I still have a lot to do." I did plan something for His Royal Highness, but what I really cared about in my heart was not him, but our Meng family. Big brother, you have to believe me, no matter what I do, I will do it for the Meng family, not for others. ”

Meng Xizhao's heart was shocked when he heard this, half of it was clear, and half of it was unclear.

"Now, the Meng family and His Royal Highness are all people in the same boat, and no one can leave anyone. If something really happens to the four princes, our Meng family will also be affected together, so he must get better, not only well, but also return to the palace, and then replace the crown prince and inherit the throne. ”

Since his brother was so worried about himself, Meng Xilan simply told him what he was planning in his heart.

Before Zhou Youlin contracted the disease, Meng Xilan was still hesitating, but when the epidemic came, her heart was settled.

For the Meng family, supporting Zhou Youlin is already an option without choice.

"Lan'er, do you really want to wade into this troubled water?" Meng Xizhao looked at her with burning eyes.

Meng Xilan pursed her lips slightly: "Big brother, the future of the Fourth Highness is the future of the Meng family." We're all already insiders, and I don't want to hide, and I don't want to be so useless. ”

"Big brother just doesn't want you to be burdened." At this point, Meng Xizhao didn't want to continue to persuade her.

She is smart and has ideas, and now she has gambled everything for the Meng family, he doesn't want to stop her, he just wants to help her.

"Brother is not worried, I will be fine. I'm still looking forward to going home to see my grandmother and sister-in-law, as well as our Brother Yun, his 100-day banquet, we must go back. Meng Xilan smiled and whispered.

The Meng family's current hope may be her, but the hope for the future must be Brother Yun.

Speaking of his son, Meng Xizhao's eyes suddenly had brilliance. Why didn't he return to his heart like an arrow, but what could he do if he was in such a situation?

"It's best to be together as a family." After a long time, Meng Xizhao couldn't help but sigh again.

Meng Xilan opened her mouth slightly, but she wanted to speak again.

Sometimes there is too much consolation, but it is useless.

After a few short words, Meng Xilan returned to the tent and saw Zhou Youlin standing with his back to his back, still carrying a bright scroll of imperial decree in his hand.

"Lord Wang......" Meng Xilan stepped forward to take a look, only to see that he was sweating on his forehead, his face was red, and he hurriedly reached out to touch his forehead, fortunately, the temperature was moderate, not a fever.

"I changed my name so quickly......" Zhou Youlin said unsteadily.

Meng Xilan helped him: "Under the holy decree, tell the world that you are already a noble prince at this moment." ”

Zhou Youlin smiled when he heard this: "Your method really works, my father really gave me a delicious candy, and besides, it is still a candy that no one else has." ”

Meng Xilan looked at him: "The prince is serious, all of this is the prince who came back with his life." The emperor's grace is immense, and it has nothing to do with me. She has no intention of asking for credit, as long as Zhou Youlin gains power, everyone will be safe.

Zhou Youlin smiled again, but coughed with laughter.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan wanted to help him sit down and rest, but he gently pushed him away: "I want to stand for a while, I am bedridden every day, and my legs are weak." ”

But he had only stood for a moment, and he was already so tired that his forehead was sweating.

"You're a patient, so you naturally don't have the strength to do it." Meng Xilan had the heart to persuade him, but she didn't know that what Zhou Youlin was thinking about at this moment coincided with what she and her brother had just said.

"Relying on this weak body, how can I go back to the palace? How do you compete with the prince? ”

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, she almost couldn't believe her ears, she was just stunned for a while.

Zhou Youlin saw that she didn't speak, so he said: "A moment of discouragement will not completely defeat me. Fortunately, I still have you by my side, you are right, it is just a temporary sleep, and God will not be able to take away my life! So, I'm going back, taking you back with me. ”

His tone was firm, and his eyes were ambitious.

Meng Xilan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Zhou Youlin's fighting spirit had finally returned.

He is obviously so young, he should be at an age when he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and it makes no sense to admit defeat so easily.

"I'm glad that the prince can think so." Meng Xilan smiled faintly, her expression was light.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Youlin glanced at her deeply, suddenly took her hand, clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand, and said: "I, Zhou Youlin, have always done what I say, I will not let you die with me." ”

His ten fingers were slightly forced, weak but domineering.

Meng Xilan looked at the hands of the two of them, her eyes flashed with a burst of mind, her face was only forced, she raised her head and smiled slightly: "Okay, then please the prince must do what he says." ”
