Seeing that Zhou Youchen escaped safely, the big stone in Meng Xilan's heart finally fell to the ground.

The poisonous snake had been taken away by the people of the Tai Hospital, and as for where it came from, no one could explain for a while. Meng Xilan followed the verbal agreement with Zhou Youwen and did not confess him, Gao Fuli felt a little pity: "The Sixth Highness is vicious, why should the master talk to him about any credit?" It's better to take this opportunity and let him learn a long lesson. ”

The person who harms others deserves no good end, even if he is the prince? His own master is not a vegetarian, and when he should be ruthless, he will definitely not be soft.

Meng Xilan sighed slightly: "I don't want him to learn a lesson, but now is not the time." Even if I don't care about his identity, I have to take into account Zhou Youlin's position. ”

The scene just now, Zhou Youlin was in time, so he watched it really. Presumably, without her saying, he will also punish Zhou Youwen.

Gao Fu bowed his head unwillingly: "Master...... His Royal Highness the Nine is so pitiful...... I finally got through it, and now I'm going to be framed by the villain! ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan turned her eyes to look at Zhou Youchen, who was still unconscious, and felt a tingling in her heart: "I know, so I will treat him better, like a relative." ”

When he stood up to save her, Meng Xilan clearly realized that his kindness to himself was far more sincere than he imagined. There are not many people in this world who can share her ups and downs, but Zhou Youchen is one, and he is already more than just her friend and partner. He was a very important person to her.

After a while, Zhulu stepped forward and said softly: "Master, it's not too early, it's time for us to go back to Cining Palace." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "I won't go back." ”

When Zhou Youchen regained consciousness and woke up, she hoped that the first person he would see when he opened his eyes was herself.

Zhu Lu hesitated a little when she heard this: "Master, do you want to stay overnight in Changqing Palace?" "This ...... It's a bit out of order. Moreover, this Changqing Palace becomes gloomy and gloomy at night, which is very frightening.

Meng Xilan said lightly: "I want to stay." It's okay, the Queen Mother will be considerate of me. ”

Seeing that the master's mind had been decided, Zhulu didn't say anything more, quietly retreated to the side, and waited with her.

Zhou Youchen slept exceptionally peacefully this night, and slept until the next morning, before waking up leisurely.

His mouth was a little dry and his throat was a little burning, but luckily there was a teacup on the small stool next to the bed, and he could reach it as soon as he reached out.

Zhou Youchen raised his hand, but found that his sleeves were suppressed, and he turned his eyes slightly, and suddenly realized that there was a person lying next to his bed.

Meng Xilan lay on the side of his bed with a shallow breath, sleeping on her pillow, the sunlight outside the window faintly enveloped her fair and delicate face, as if it was coated with a faint golden light for her.

Zhou Youchen was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed slightly, and a smile flashed in a hurry. He lay down again, and although he still felt very thirsty, he didn't want to wake up the people around him, so he licked his chapped lips.

Zhou Youchen hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, staring at Meng Xilan's sleeping face, and was reluctant to close his eyes for a long time.

My aunt once said that no one in the world can be trusted, men are unkind, and women are unrighteous. So, let him not trust anyone. But in this dark palace, there is a person who is really good to him.

She would smile at him, tell him a lot of good things, and teach him how to write and read...... If he was praised in front of his father, she would be even happier than he was. If he accidentally hurt himself, she would feel worse than he did...... Growing up, there has never been such a person who has ever cared about him, not even his aunt...... Maybe in this life, he will never find someone better than her to himself.

Meng Xilan didn't know that she was asleep, she thought that she was just closing her eyes and nourishing her spirits, but when she opened her eyes, the sky outside was bright.

Meng Xilan felt out of shape and sat up straight, but saw that Zhou Youchen on the bed had woken up, and a pair of bright eyes were looking at her, looking thoughtful.

Meng Xilan was slightly startled, and hurriedly reached out to his forehead, and said with concern: "Is it still uncomfortable?" ”

Zhou Youchen blinked, shook his head and said, "It's not uncomfortable at all." ”

Meng Xilan's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly lowered her head: "That's good." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Youchen couldn't help but stand up and sit up, his thin body leaned forward, and he was puzzled: "You don't want to cry." ”

She really wanted to cry, and she cried heartily. However, she still held back and smiled with tears: "You're all right, why am I crying." ”

Zhou Youchen pretended to frown deeply: "Crying and crying women are the most troublesome, don't learn from them." ”

Meng Xilan was stunned at first when she heard this, and then couldn't help but smile slightly: "People are small and big." ”

Seeing that he can still laugh with himself shows that his spirit is recovering well.

After a while, Jiao Changqing came to Changqing Palace to diagnose Zhou Youchen's pulse, he personally applied medicine to his wound, and then said meaningfully: "Your Highness's wound must not be wet, you must not catch a cold, you must avoid eating and drinking, and you can't eat cold and spicy things." ”

For taking care of patients, Meng Xilan is quite experienced. Fortunately, Zhou Youchen's diet has always been light, and because of the bitterness of the past, his stomach is not very good.

Zhou Youchen doesn't like to see a doctor, and his attitude towards Jiao Changqing is also a little cold, "I can take care of myself, and I don't need you to do much." ”

When Jiao Changqing heard this, he looked at him meaningfully for a while, and then turned to Meng Xilan and said, "Your Highness, Weichen has something I want to discuss with you, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" ”

Meng Xilan also happened to have something to ask him, so she pinched the corner of the quilt for Zhou Youchen, and said softly: "You lie down well, I'll be back in a while." ”

Zhou Youchen frowned a little displeased: "I'm hungry." ”

"The palace ladies are already preparing, you wait a minute." Meng Xilan comforted him like a child, and such a scene fell in Jiao Changqing's eyes, which couldn't help but make his mood even heavier.

Coming to the outside of the courtyard, Meng Xilan asked bluntly: "Master, you tell me the truth, is His Royal Highness the Ninth really okay?" ”

Jiao Changqing frowned thickly, and his expression seemed to be in trouble.

"Master...... You've got to be honest with me. Meng Xilan has always had a suspicion in her heart, but she didn't expect Jiao Changqing to really have something to hide, according to his character, it must be a very important thing to be able to make him unspeakable.

Jiao Changqing originally didn't plan to hide it from her, but because of the importance of the matter, he still considered his tone: "You have known His Royal Highness Nine for so long?" Didn't you find anything unusual about the Nine Highnesses? ”

Something out of the ordeal?! Meng Xilan's heart was faintly disturbed: "He...... He ......"

Thinking about it carefully, there are too many anomalies in Zhou Youchen.

Jiao Changqing saw that she was a little panicked, so he continued: "Wei Chen found that His Royal Highness Jiu's body temperature was different from that of ordinary people, and his muscles and bones were peculiar. ”

Meng Xilan nodded again and again: "That's right, no matter when and where, his hands are always cold, like a patient." I've thought it was weird before...... But I didn't ask him why, and I didn't tell anyone else. ”

Zhou Youchen has never been sick, if it weren't for this poisoning, the doctors of the Tai Hospital would not have had a chance to step into the Changqing Palace.

"What the hell happened to him? Is it sick or injured......" Meng Xilan said a little anxiously.

Jiao Changqing interrupted her words with his eyes, and said word by word: "Your Highness, I'm afraid I'm going to be in big trouble." "He has practiced medicine for many years, and he has read countless people, but he has never seen such a strange and special physique as Zhou Youchen.

"What's the trouble?" Meng Xilan's body shook slightly, thinking that it was because of the snake venom in his body.

If Wei Chen didn't guess wrong, His Royal Highness Jiu's body had formed a kind of "cold poison" because of the long-term invasion of cold evil qi. Now, the cold poison has penetrated his muscles and bone marrow, and has begun to damage his heart...... If you don't treat it in time and get rid of the cold poison...... Rong Weichen said presumptuously that with the current physique of His Royal Highness the Nine, he may not live to be sixteen years old. ”

To be precise, he only has two or three years to live. Once the cold poison disease kicks in, it will affect his whole body muscles and bones, making him slowly become a wasted person.

"Sixteen years old...... Meng Xilan bit her lower lip lightly and looked at Jiao Changqing in disbelief: "Although he has lived a difficult life and suffered a lot since he was a child, you don't know how light and flexible his body is, he can simply go to heaven and earth......"

She had seen it with her own eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he could easily do what others couldn't.

Jiao Changqing muttered: "Weichen just said that His Royal Highness the Ninth has peculiar muscles and bones, and he does have advantages that ordinary people can't have. However, the cold poison in His Highness's body is not entirely acquired, and it may also come from the mother's womb. Weichen heard that Concubine Xiao died of illness back then, maybe ...... His Highness's illness is also related to this matter. ”

Meng Xilan's heart sank, and she said in a quiet tone: "Concubine Xiao's death must have something else...... Master, do you have a way to cure the cold poison? ”

Zhou Youchen lived like a ghost in this deep palace for ten years, and finally came to the bitter end, why didn't he live to be sixteen years old?

Jiao Changqing's expression became more and more embarrassed: "Weichen is not a reincarnation Hua Tuo, I'm afraid he can't...... Unless, Wei Chen can know the cause of Concubine Xiao's death back then, and maybe he can think of a way. ”

He never makes promises easily, let alone does things that he is not sure of, but as a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, if there is a glimmer of life, he will not give up.

"Okay, I'll figure it out." Meng Xilan took a long time before she lowered her voice and said, "But, master, why do you want to keep it secret?" Didn't the other doctors notice anything strange about him? ”

"Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Ninth was poisoned by a snake, and the cold on his body can be prevaricated with the excuse of poisoning and weakness. And Weichen didn't report to the emperor because Weichen wanted to hear what you mean first, princess. You and His Royal Highness Nine have always been good friends, as the emperor said, it is estimated that no one in this palace cares more about the safety of His Royal Highness Nine than you. Moreover, this matter is related to the hidden circumstances of Concubine Xiao's death that year, and Weichen can't speak rashly, otherwise, he will catch fire. ”

Concubine Xiao's life and death were taboos in the palace. At the beginning, the emperor treated the Nine Emperor Princes coldly for many years because he suspected Concubine Xiao of being disloyal, and he thought that he could be so cruel to his own flesh and blood, not to mention, he was just a small imperial doctor.

Meng Xilan thought for a while, "It's best to keep this matter secret for the time being." Concubine Xiao's matter, I will find a way to find out, I need time. ”

"Princess, Weichen has to advise you, you have to think twice...... Even if the cause of Concubine Xiao's death was found, Wei Chen was not completely sure of removing the poison from the body of His Royal Highness the Nine. And Concubine Xiao has been dead for many years, and the people in this palace who know the inside story, the old and the old, may have no clues at all. ”

The corners of Meng Xilan's eyes flashed with a slight light: "Master, someone told me that there is never a real secret in this palace, and a living person can't keep a secret." Even if the palace people who knew the cause of Concubine Xiao's death back then are gone, and there is still the emperor, he must know ......"

That was what Concubine Ning said, but now it can give Meng Xilan a little hope.
