The wait is always long.

After an earth-shattering change, the capital was turbulent, and Meng Xilan's heart was also tormented.

At this point, it seems that right and wrong, winning or losing, almost doesn't matter. What Meng Xilan hopes in her heart is that she can end all this as soon as possible, and then leave and leave with her whole body.

The blue sky is like washing, and it is so clean that it makes people's hearts soften.

Meng Xilan got up early, but she kept sitting on the head of the bed, looking at the scenery outside in a daze.

"Master...... Master......"

Suddenly, Gao Fuli hurriedly ran in, panting and said, "Master, the second young master is here." ”

"Second brother?" Meng Xilan sat up straight, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Meng Xiran traveled for three days and three nights, and came here just to tell her sister the good news.

Zhou Youchen has successfully become the candidate for the prince respected by everyone, and most of the courtiers in the court are willing to support him.

"Lan'er, we won." Meng Xiran said carefully, and finally did not forget to add this sentence.

After years of hard work, going round and round, ups and downs, they finally won to the end.

However, there was no joy on Meng Xiran's face.

He followed Zhou Youlin for many years, but now he has become a traitor.

Meng Xilan's heart sank when she heard this, but her face smiled slightly. "That's good, I'll leave the rest to my father and brothers. I'm already a useless person. ”

Meng Xiran stared and said, "Lan'er, don't say that, from now on, you can be free." ”

Freely...... Meng Xilan pondered these two words repeatedly, and then said with a smile: "I hope so." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, she has been very sad lately, and she has been locking herself in the house, second brother, go and see her."

Meng Xiran came over this time, and he must be very worried about Zhou Youning in his heart.

The person you like is suffering and grief, which is the most distressing thing.

Meng Xiran nodded.

"If you can, the second brother will take Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace later. She's going to have a hard time letting her stay here. ”

Since she was named Concubine Lan, Zhou Youning's attitude towards her has been very cold and even a little distant.

She had begun to hate her, and felt that she was no different from the rest of the palace, the same lust for profit.

Meng Xiran hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I know." Lan'er, what about you? ”

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly: "I want to stay here, and after ten days, I will return to the palace with the emperor's coffin." ”

As a harem concubine, this is something she must do. Moreover, it is a relief for her to be able to stay away from the place of right and wrong in the capital for a while.

Half an hour later, Meng Xiran went to Zhou Youning's door and knocked lightly.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is resting......" came from the palace maid's response.

These days, she has been locking herself in her room, shutting herself up, and she doesn't want to see anyone.

Meng Xiran sighed softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's my ......"

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the room for a long time.

Meng Xiran was a little anxious, so he said again: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please open the door, Weichen has something to say to you." ”

Suddenly, the door in front of him was opened, tears were shining, and Zhou Youning, who was plain white, threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.

"Brother Xiran...... Brother Xiran......"

Her cry trembled, causing Meng Xiran's heart to sink, as if she had been poked by something.

He hugged her and comforted her softly, but he wanted to make her cry.

After a while, Zhou Youning gradually calmed down, and she said in a heavy nasal voice: "It's Sister Lan...... No, it was Concubine Lan who called you? ”

Although it was awkward to scream, she still changed her name to Meng Xilan.

Meng Xiran nodded slightly, which was an answer.

Zhou Youning looked at him with teary eyes, and continued to speak: "Brother Xiran, you really like me, right?" ”

She suddenly asked, causing Meng Xiran to be slightly stunned.

He looked down at her face and wondered, "Why do you ask?" Isn't my wish for Her Royal Highness clear enough? ”

Although he never said a word of sensual love to her, he always had her in his heart, cared about her, cared about her, and even wanted to marry her home at all costs.

Zhou Youning pursed his lips and was speechless for a while.

Meng Xiran was very concerned, tightened her hand, and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Zhou Youning lowered his head: "Because I'm afraid...... You just want to take advantage of me. ”

As soon as she said this, she began to regret it.

She looked up at his face again, and sure enough, she saw tangled emotions in his eyes.

Meng Xiran frowned, stared at her face and said, "There have indeed been too many things recently, Her Royal Highness the princess must be very hard." ”

"I ......" Zhou Youning heard this, and his tears couldn't be stopped anymore.

"All of a sudden...... It was as if everyone had changed, and I was really scared. ”

Sister Lan changed herself in order to compete for favor, her brothers began to kill each other for the throne, and her father died of a sudden illness, everyone said that there was another conspiracy behind this, and she felt that there was no one around her who could be trusted.

Meng Xiran held her hand and pressed slightly: "Don't be afraid, everything will be with me in the future." ”

This time he will not be a "traitor" again, he will always protect Zhou Youning and devote himself wholeheartedly.

Zhou Youning nodded with tears in his eyes.

They sat in the courtyard, leaning on each other, talking quietly, and looked very beautiful.

Meng Xilan stood outside the Gongyue Gate, looking at the backs of the two, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Zhulu whispered beside him; "Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess and our second master are really a good match."

Meng Xilan said quietly: "Yes, among the ten thousand bad things, it is really fortunate to have such a good thing." ”

After tossing for so long, Meng Xiran and Zhou Youning can walk together, which is an excellent thing for her and for the Meng family.

If the two of them can really come together happily, then her heart will feel a lot better.

Along the way, she has done some bad things that calculate people's hearts, and she has taken advantage of so many people who trust her and feel bad about being a betrayer.

The deserted palace tells everyone a truth, no matter how noble you are in life, after death, you will also suffer from the situation of people walking away from tea.

Before the emperor's mourning, the capital had already begun to prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne.

The old lord has passed away, and the new monarch has succeeded him, solemn and cruel.

It's going to be a lot of fun, and it's going to be a new beginning.

On the day Zhou Youning left, before leaving, she hugged Meng Xilan and whispered in her ear: "Sister, no matter what others say about you, I always think you are a kind person. ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, the smile on her face became a little stiff, she looked at Zhou Youning, and then at Meng Xiran: "I wish you all a smooth journey." ”

The word kindness has nothing to do with her a long time ago.

Everyone who should have gone left, Meng Xilan alone took a group of palace maids and eunuchs to stay in this lifeless palace.

The weather was getting hot day by day, and Zhuqing boiled some mung bean soup for Meng Xilan to relieve the heat.

As soon as she brought it to the table, Zhu Lu stopped her and said, "Mung beans are not good, the master is cold." Let's go and serve a bowl of sour plum soup. ”

Zhu Qing only remembered when he heard the words, Master Jiao had explained before, and the master could not touch anything that was cold.

Zhu Qing lowered his head, only took the mung bean soup down, and when he saw Gao Fu outside, he said to him: "This is the master's reward for you, drink it." ”

Gao Fuli took it and drank it in one gulp: "I've really been on fire for the past two days......"

"What are you on?" Zhu Qing looked at him and asked.

Gao Fuli returned the empty bowl to her and said, "Are we still less on fire now?" Not to mention anything else, what should the master do after he returns to the palace? Is it true that you want to become a monk and become a sister-in-law? ”

To be honest, he was not only worried about Meng Xilan, but also about himself.

The master is a good master, but when he starts to do things, he will always surprise people. Now that I have finally come to the palace with great difficulty, the master actually wants to go out of the palace to practice, what kind of thing is this.

Zhu Qing saw that he was talkative, so he "shhh

"Little Lizi, don't talk nonsense...... No one can say what will happen in the future. ”

Gao Fuli sighed and squatted on the ground: "I'm just not worth it for the master!" ”

Zhu Qing also squatted down with him, and said in a low voice: "The master has the master's plan, let's be slaves and slaves, as long as we are obedient." ”

"It's infuriating! The master has come to this point and left the palace like this, so what has she been fighting for so many years? What should we do in the future? ”

As soon as his words fell, a voice sounded behind him: "If you are unwilling and want to climb the high branches, just make it clear to the master, and the master will naturally pave the way for you, so that you can eat and dress well in the next life, and enjoy all the glory and wealth." ”

Gao Fuli turned his head when he heard this, and saw Zhulu glaring at him angrily, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Zhulu, don't get me wrong, I don't want to climb other Gao Zhi'er, I'm just not worth ...... for my master."

Zhulu walked over and glared at them: "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this." Anyway, let's do whatever the master says, don't upset her. ”

"Now, there is no one to rely on by the master's side, only us." Zhulu sighed meaningfully.

Zhu Qing was puzzled: "How can the master have no support? The master still has the ninth master......"

Zhulu shook her head silently when she heard this, but did not speak.

The person the master cares about the most is indeed the ninth master, but the person she really wants to rely on in her heart is not him......

Three days passed in a flash, and when Meng Xilan thought that she had been forgotten by everyone, Jiao Changqing's appearance surprised her slightly.

Jiao Changqing's dusty appearance, looking a little haggard, after he saw Meng Xilan, the first thing he said was, "Niangniang, how are you doing lately?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Why is the master here, I'm fine." ”

Jiao Changqing's eyes sank, and he said lightly: "Because I'm worried about you, I'm worried." ”

When everyone was circling around Zhou Youchen, it was Meng Xilan who couldn't let go of it in his heart.
