Chapter 547: The Demon Queen (1)
Demon Queen ...... These two words came out of his mouth, and they were really sharp and harsh.
Carefully calculated, she has been bearing this reputation for more than ten years. The red face is in trouble, and the demon fox is reincarnated, as if she is a woman who has done all the bad things in the world by herself, and she has done it absolutely.
Meng Xilan smiled slightly bitterly and laughed softly. This laugh was just the beginning, and then her laughter grew louder and louder, and gradually, she couldn't stop.
Gao Fuli was beside him, looking at the appearance of the master smiling slightly and bending over, his heart sank secretly.
Where is the master laughing, she is clearly laughing and crying.
Chu Ansheng thought that he was not afraid of anything, but he didn't expect that after listening to Meng Xilan's laughter, his heart suddenly burst, and his heart was beating so fast that he even lost his breath.
Meng Xilan laughed alone for a while before stopping.
She looked at Chu Ansheng with a faint gaze: "If this palace is really the "demon queen" you said, can you still have the life to stand in front of me now?" How much do you know about Hongu? He is young, he has an empty stomach and a temper, but he has no brains and no heart! ”
She spoke to him in the tone of an elder's lesson.
"Didn't you see your mother kneeling down and begging me? She sacrificed everything she had, even to go back to her death, to save your life. And you? Because of the useless impulse in his heart, he dared to speak disrespectfully in front of the palace? Where has your heart gone? If it's in your heart, your mother, your family, you shouldn't be presumptuous! Impulses are useless things, look at your father, he is just blinded by the impulses in his heart! Do you want to learn from him? Or do you really want to die with him! ”
After hearing this, Chu Ansheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his head, as if he was a little weak.
Meng Xilan sat on the main seat, domineering.
Although her body is still very weak now, she has never been weaker in momentum for so many years in the palace.
Gao Fufu stood aside, slowly fiddling with the floating dust in his hands. thought to herself, Chu Jingchuan only has such a son, if Niangniang wants to keep him from dying, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!
This Chu Ansheng doesn't look smart. He hoped that he could say a few more foolish words, which completely annoyed Niangniang, and let Niangniang leave it alone.
Meng Xilan saw that Chu Ansheng was so reprimanded by herself that she was speechless, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "The grievances between this palace and the Chu family are not something that you can understand as an innocent child. Whether you believe it or not, what this palace said to your mother just now is true. Bengong doesn't want to see the Chu family disappear like this, so Bengong has the heart to protect you, as long as you live, the Chu family will not be finished! However, this palace wants to ask you a question, do you want to live, or do you want to die? ”
Chu Ansheng was stunned at first when he heard this, and then bit his lip and said, "Niangniang asked this strangely. Now, as far as I am concerned, as far as the Chu family is concerned, do I still have a choice? ”
To put it bluntly, whether it is life or death, it is not a word from the emperor.
Meng Xilan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip unhurriedly, and only said: "A person who wants to live, even if he is in front of him step by step, humble as an ant, he is not afraid in his heart, but will do his best to go all the way to the end." And a person who is bent on death, even if this palace finds a way for him to live, he can't go on. Your father tossed the capital enough and made the palace miserable, and now, the palace no longer wants to do anything unfavorable to himself. So, you tell this palace, do you Chu Ansheng want to live or die? ”
She wanted to see his determination, and if he was bent on death, she would be happy to fulfill him. If he wanted to live, she was willing to take risks for him. Whether he goes or stays, it's all up to him.
Chu Ansheng didn't expect that she would throw such a question to herself.
According to their current situation, they can only wait for death, how can they be forced to live? But this woman...... But she wants him to choose?
A young man who doesn't know the hardships of the world is naturally simple-hearted, and even lying is very lame. And Meng Xilan has always liked people who can't lie.
Chu Ansheng clenched his fists and was silent.
Seeing this, Gao Fuli couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Since you don't want to die, you want to live." Do you need to bother to think about such a shallow truth? You have to be grateful for the fact that you are willing to help you like this......"
Thanksgiving?!
Chu Ansheng raised his head expressionlessly, looked at the white-faced father-in-law opposite, and felt that his eyes were full of contempt when he looked at him.
Xu was stimulated by the contempt in Gao Fuli's eyes, Chu Ansheng opened his mouth and said a word. "I want to live ......"
Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, then stretched out a finger, pointed to the ground and said, "Okay, then you kneel down and respectfully come to the palace." ”
Chu Ansheng's expression was stiff, he slowly stepped forward, and then stepped forward to salute according to the rules of the palace, and every action was upright, without the slightest slackness.
"Queen Mother, please save me!"
A complex emotion flashed in Meng Xilan's eyes.
"So much for the best. The palace will give you two days, and the day after tomorrow morning, the palace will take you to see the emperor, and after meeting the emperor, you will have to explain your father's crimes one by one. Of course, this is not the most important thing, you have to show your loyalty to the emperor in person, take the initiative to ask Ying, and kill Chu Jingchuan with your own hands! ”
Chu Ansheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked up at her, puzzled.
Meng Xilan looked at him faintly: "Your father is a criminal and thief who plotted rebellion. If you want to live, the only way is to live by stepping on his bones, you know? ”
Death is the easiest thing to do, with a wipe on the neck, eyes closed, and no worries. But living is an extremely hard thing, fighting for power and profit, and the last game is empty, and you have to force your face to laugh and be a slave to the winner.
Chu Ansheng didn't speak, but he used his expression to tell Meng Xilan that he didn't want to.
How could he do that and count his father's crimes? And to solve the father with his own hands?
"Only by doing this can you live." Meng Xilan said again lightly.
She won't force him, it's all up to him.
"You've got two days, think about it." After Meng Xilan finished saying this, she looked at Gao Fuli and said, "You first find a place for him, and someone must serve him for food, clothing, housing and transportation." ”
Gao Fuli understood in his heart that what the master meant was that someone needed to keep an eye on him every day.
Gao Fuli took Chu Ansheng, who looked stunned, away, and came back to pass the word: "Niangniang, you just left him like this, what should the emperor do?" ”
Meng Xilan groaned slightly: "Xiao Lizi, in those days when the palace was lost, there were a lot of ugly words in the palace, isn't it?" ”
Those foul words are nothing more than saying how filthy and broken the relationship between her and Chu Jingchuan is......
Gao Fuli was a little surprised when he saw that his master suddenly mentioned this stubble, and nodded hurriedly.
"Have you ever heard those words?" Meng Xilan asked again.
A complicated look flashed on Gao Fuli's face, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.
Looks like I've heard about it.
Meng Xilan knew it in her heart, so she said again: "Xiao Lizi, you and Baozhu are now the most useful people around me. In the future, if the emperor asks about those things, you must say that nothing has happened to this palace and Chu Jingchuan. ”
Gao Fuli was slightly stunned when he heard this, and Baozhu's expression also changed.
For the sake of their masters, they are naturally willing to do anything, but ...... Even if he said that, the emperor might not believe it.
The situation in the capital at that time, Chu Jingchuan's arrogance, how could he do nothing.
"The minion understood. The slave will tell the people under him not to say a word. ”
Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this, and seemed to be very satisfied.
At dusk, Zhou Youchen came to Cining Palace with a serious expression and implied displeasure.
Meng Xilan was already prepared in her heart, but she pretended to be surprised, and got up to greet her: "Your Majesty...... Aren't you going to have a discussion with a few adults from the military department today? ”
Zhou Youchen was silent, just took her hand and went to the table to sit down.
After the jewel brought the tea, he bowed down and closed the door gently.
"Where is Chu Ansheng?"
The moment the door closed, Zhou Youchen suddenly spoke.
Meng Xilan knew that he was asking knowingly, so she said, "The concubine left him in the palace." Outside is too dangerous for him. ”
Zhou Youchen laughed when he heard this, and he sneered.
"Danger? Aren't you afraid I'll kill him? ”
Meng Xilan glanced at Zhou Youchen, and then nodded "um".
"The Chu family is extremely evil, and the emperor wants to punish them, so the concubines naturally have nothing to say. It's just that the concubine thinks of worry-free, and doesn't want the Chu family to be wiped out like this! ”
At this time, she mentioned worry-free, which was clearly intentional. The agreement between Zhou Youchen and Tu Du is still there, and worry-free plays a pivotal role in it.
Zhou Youchen frowned slightly: "Worry-free is my righteous daughter, your daughter." She has nothing to do with the Chu family for a long time. ”
Meng Xilan knew that he was angry, so she stroked the back of his hand with her hand: "Worry-free cares about the Chu family, more than concubines." The concubine just didn't want her to be sad. ”
"Really? She is the only one who cares about the Chu family, and everything you do is for her? ”
Zhou Youchen suddenly questioned her, and his tone was quite unkind.
Meng Xilan slowly withdrew her hand, raised her eyes to look at her, and asked in a flat tone, "Your Majesty, are you suspecting something?" ”
Zhou Youchen's eyes sank, and he looked at her quietly: "What Chu Jingchuan has come to this point for, you and I are clear in our hearts." ”
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes when she heard this, and after a while, she laughed. "Your Majesty, don't you say that he is for the concubine?"
Her smile made Zhou Youchen slightly puzzled.
Meng Xilan stood up, and on the noble dress on her body, those gold and silver threads glittered in the candlelight.
"Your Majesty, Chu Jingchuan will not commit this sin of the nine clans in order to take a breath with his concubines. Besides, the concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she is no longer the beautiful girl she was back then. What kind of woman does he want to find, why should he lose his life for an old and decrepit person? ”
Zhou Youchen's eyes were heavy: "You are no one else." The only person he wants is you. ”
Meng Xilan glanced back at him, with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, do you really think so?" Still, I just want to blame the concubine......"
"You know what I mean." Zhou Youchen replied to her coldly: "Chu Ansheng is the son of Chu Jingchuan, and when it comes to punishment for crimes, his father is the first, and he is the second." If you want to spare his life, you will leave the bane of the crisis Zhou royal family! ”
Meng Xilan turned her back to him and walked to the window: "Your Majesty, the concubine helped you ascend the throne at the beginning, are there still few people we offend?" Looking at the world, is there only one person who wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne and replace the emperor? Everyone has ambitions, and they have to think about two things, and they have to think about it. The emperor is indeed decisive in cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but the spring breeze blows through the weeds and grows again, the seeds of hatred will never disappear, if the emperor only relies on killing people to solve it, then the world is so big, how many people can be left in the end? ”
