Chapter 234: Breaking (2)
Meng Xilan cried with tears streaming down her face, like a burst of embankment and collapse, and she couldn't control herself for a long time.
Gao Fuli panicked slightly, I don't know what's wrong with the master?
All this was obviously arranged by the master, why did she suddenly cry bitterly? Could it be that she regrets it?
Zhou Shili's body was stiff and upright on the ground, Meng Xilan cautiously walked over, reached out to probe his snort, and then carefully picked up his head and gently hugged him into his arms.
"This is what you owe me...... Zhou Shili, this is what you owe me. Meng Xilan choked up and spoke, she knew that he couldn't hear herself, but she still had to speak.
When he was alive, she hated to finish him off with her own hands, and when he did go, she couldn't tell him all the resentment in her heart.
Finally, finally, this bad relationship has come to an end. There is no past life, and there is no present life, it is completely clean.
Meng Xilan hugged Zhou Shili's body and wept silently, Gao Fuli was afraid of extraneous branches, so she had to remind her: "Master, we should go." ”
This is the prison of the Criminal Department, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time.
Meng Xilan withdrew her tears, closed Zhou Shili's dead eyes, took a deep breath, put on her cloak, and got up to leave.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Meng Xilan didn't have time to plan carefully, so she could only take the initiative. She used her father's relationship to come to this prison of the Ministry of Punishment. But now she crossed the line, Zhou Shili's death is unknown, if the criminal department investigates it, it must be a trouble.
In order to break off this bad fate, Meng Xilan once again pushed herself to the forefront.
"Master, this is a dungeon, cold and damp, rats and insects are running around, and it is easy to die." On the way back, Gao Fuli cautiously spoke.
Meng Xilan only felt that she couldn't handle this matter alone, so she returned to Meng's mansion and explained the whole matter to her father, so that he could help deal with the aftermath.
Now, the palace and the palace are busy with the queen's funeral, and Meng Zhenglu was shocked when he suddenly heard about it.
"Lan'er, when did you have such a big holiday with King Wenjun?"
If the emperor did not have an amnesty, Zhou Shili would definitely die, however, after this decree was handed down, if Zhou Shili could not die as he deserved, it would be a capital crime that violated the emperor's order, or even beheaded him.
"There are indeed some grievances between me and King Wenjun. Father, don't blame your daughter for being ruthless, there are some things that no one will do if she doesn't do it. ”
Meng Xilan didn't want to explain to her father, she just wanted him to take care of the aftermath for herself. She is in the palace, tied to her hands and feet, and she can't do many things.
Meng Zhenglu naturally nodded and agreed: "My father will find a way to solve it." ”
He has been an official for many years, and he has accumulated some connections, and now that the Meng family is in a current situation, many people will be willing to help them.
"Today's thing is that my daughter is abrupt, and my daughter will not be like this again in the future." Meng Xilan sincerely apologized to her father.
Meng Zhenglu sighed again and again: "Lan'er, no matter what you do, I don't blame you for being a father." It's just that you have to take care of yourself and act cautiously......"
Meng Xilan nodded heavily, she didn't want to stay longer, and hurried back to the palace.
took Concubine Ning's waist card out of the palace and into the palace, and the journey went smoothly.
However, Meng Xilan never expected that she would meet an acquaintance outside Cining Palace.
Zhou Youwen was dressed in white filial piety, standing outside the palace gate, and the accompanying eunuchs retreated one after another, standing ten meters away.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
Meng Xilan held Gao Fuli's hand, slowly walked off the sedan chair, only looked at Zhou Youwen, and said coldly: "Sixth master...... What a coincidence. ”
Zhou Youwen was waiting for her, he raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile: "Meng Xilan, your heart is really ruthless." ”
Meng Xilan frowned slightly when she heard this. "Did the sixth master come to the door today, or did he deliberately pick faults?"
Zhou Youwen smiled coldly and took a few steps forward: "Meng Xilan, don't think I don't know, what have you done?" ”
He had just received the news that a person had died in the prison of the Criminal Department, a person who should not have died.
"It seems that the sixth master is here to find fault. The queen's bones are not cold, you just come here to find trouble, don't you feel very uneducated? ”
"Huh, upbringing?" Zhou Youwen looked at her gloomily: "You can hide it from the fourth brother, you can't hide it from me." Meng Xilan, what is your purpose? What the hell do you want to do? ”
He had long felt that there was something wrong with her, but he just thought that she was a useless girl, even if she wanted to make trouble, it was just to make trouble in the harem.
Who knows, her ambition is not small, she has just finished calculating the prince, and now she has destroyed Zhou Shili, this girl is too terrible!
"Meng Xilan, I'm going to tell my father now, you wait for me!" Zhou Youwen saw her glaring at him, and deliberately raised his eyebrows. "Murdering the royal family is a capital crime!"
Gao Fuli was shocked when she heard this, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Meng Xilan with her eyes, she was also a little panicked in her heart, but she didn't want Zhou Youwen to see the flaws.
"Sixth Master, I advise you to be careful. The emperor is now sad for the queen's mother, why do you bother to ask for that suspicion? ”
If he really wanted to stir up trouble, why did he come here to see her?
Zhou Youwen glanced at her: "You don't have to be pretty." ”
"You're less self-righteous." After Meng Xilan said this, she only gave Gao Fuli a look, and slowly walked into Cining Palace, without looking at Zhou Youwen.
Zhou Youwen hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him relentlessly. "Meng Xilan, what are you proud of? No matter how poor I am, I am still the son of my father, what about you? What are you? Why do you show off your might in front of me! ”
Meng Xilan turned her eyes to look at him: "What am I, I can't say this to the sixth master." Besides, the person who came here today to find fault is you, not me. She paused deliberately, and then eased up a little: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the sixth master for a few days, and it's rare to meet, so why don't I invite the sixth master to have a cup of tea." ”
She didn't let him into the dormitory, but prepared tea and snacks in the courtyard.
Zhou Youwen also had a stomach on his mind, standing in place with his hands behind his back, not sitting or touching the tea, but said: "I don't dare to drink your tea, so as not to go over to the queen to accompany the funeral." ”
That's a terrible thing to say!
Meng Xilan took a sip of tea: "Sixth Master, there will be no one else here, if you have anything to say, just say it." Don't be so gripped with guns and sticks, it's boring. ”
"Boring?" Zhou Youwen glared at her in displeasure: "Okay, then I'll tell you something interesting." Meng Xilan, do my father know about you and my cousin? Do you think it would be interesting if he knew? ”
"Oh, I see. The sixth master is here to threaten me today? Meng Xilan sighed meaningfully.
"Meng Xilan, I'm here to give you the long school motto today. What you did, my father and fourth brother don't know, but you can't hide it from me. I listened a lot to my second brother, how you and Zhou Shili had feelings for each other and secretly corresponded. You have been in a bad relationship with your cousin behind your back with your fourth brother, and now you want to covet the position of the harem? You're really shameless. ”
Gao Fuli stood behind and stared at Zhou Youwen fiercely, only to feel that he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"I don't know what the sixth master heard. However, between me and King Wenjun, it's not as dirty as you think. Meng Xilan glanced at him: "The sixth master suffered a lot of losses because of the abolition of the prince before. Now that I can finally spend a few days in the palace, why do I have to make trouble? In this case, why don't you tell me directly about your purpose. In the face of the prince, I will definitely help if I can. ”
He is so aggressive, he looks weak-hearted.
Zhou Youwen said with contempt in his eyes: "Hmph, my purpose is very simple, I want you to clear the misunderstanding between me and the fourth brother for me." ”
He is now facing the harem, and he is helpless. His father didn't like him, the ministers didn't support him, and even the fourth brother didn't care about him. He wanted a chance to perform, but he couldn't wait.
When Meng Xilan heard this, she suddenly knew in her heart, and her expression became more calm: "The sixth master wants me to be a lobbyist? It's really strange, you just said that you wanted to dismantle my platform, and now you come to me to convince the prince, this is a contradiction at all! ”
It seems that he is really desperate, so he will think of being able to do it in front of her.
"Meng Xilan, I'm not in the mood to play tricks with you. In a word, do you do it or don't you do it? At the beginning, I was estranged from my fourth brother, and it was all because of you, which you owed me. Zhou Youwen said angrily.
Meng Xilan immediately put down the tea bowl and made a crisp sound: "Owe?" Whoever I owe Meng Xilan will not owe you Zhou Youwen. ”
Zhou Youwen's eyes widened and he looked at her. "You ......"
"You are estranged from the prince, that's because you have a ghost idea. Don't think that I don't know how many bad ideas you gave the prince. The prince doesn't care about you, it's the prince's atmosphere. It is your own decision to defect to Zhou Youping, and no one forces you. ”
At this time, whoever puts down the hole cards first loses.
Meng Xilan's hole cards are the capital and relationships she holds in her hands. And Zhou Youwen's hole cards are just some unfounded secrets.
"Meng Xilan, don't think I'm begging you. I can go to the Heart Cultivation Hall right away......"
Before Meng Xilan could finish speaking, she interrupted him and said, "Okay, don't send it if you go slowly." ”
Zhou Youwen looked surprised, he couldn't believe that she was not afraid, he didn't know that he was afraid.
Meng Xilan got up slowly and stroked the folds on her skirt: "You are the emperor's son, you can go if you want, and you can say what you want." I don't care about those so-called secrets, anyone can just say it, but do you have proof? Do you have any evidence that I have an affair with King Wenjun? Do you have any proof that I killed King Wenjun with my own hands? ”
"Zhou Youwen, you can be stupid yourself, but don't think that everyone else is as stupid as you. If you want to go to the emperor and chew your tongue, then you'd better be smarter. ”
Meng Xilan's tone was gloomy, and it sounded like a completely different person.
Zhou Youwen's back tightened, and he glared at her with some weakness: "Stinky girl!" I'll definitely make you look good. ”
Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this, and her smile was slightly gloomy: "Sixth Master, you better take care of yourself first." ”
