Chapter 580: Return (1)
When Jiao Changqing said this, the evil aura between his eyebrows could not be concealed. As a healer, he has a sinister look in his eyes, which makes those narrow black eyes deep and abnormal.
Meng Xilan glanced at him, and then lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes hid the deep uneasiness and contemplation at the bottom of her eyes.
"Hongu knows that you don't ask for anything in return, so, for all these years, Hongu has been grateful to you. You can not care about this gratitude. ”
Jiao Changqing's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and his palm gently stroked Meng Xilan's stomach, it had been almost seven months. He can clearly feel the baby's movements.
Meng Xilan also felt it, but her heart was still slightly blocked, and she frowned.
"Niangniang, Wechen has followed Niangniang for many years, and Wechen has never asked Niangniang for any reward. Now, Weichen has finally become the closest person to his mother. When he said this, his expression was solemn, and his tone was even more gloomy.
Meng Xilan raised her face slightly, looked directly into his eyes, and asked in a low tone, "So what?" So far, what do you want? ”
The corners of Jiao Changqing's cold lips rose unconsciously, and he gently spit out a sentence: "The return that Weichen wants is the trust of the mother, the complete trust." ”
His hand on her stomach was secretly forced.
"Weichen's medical skills are now only used for Niangniang. Wechen wholeheartedly solves problems for Niangniang, but Niangniang is wary of Wechen everywhere, which is the biggest insult to Wechen! ”
The air in the hall began to grow heavy in an instant.
Meng Xilan pondered for a moment before saying, "You hurt the child of this palace." ”
Although her tone was soft, her face was gloomy.
"If this palace didn't believe you, how could I come to this point with you. Jiao Changqing, how many secrets do you know about this palace, and those secrets don't even know the prince...... How do you want this palace to believe you? ”
Jiao Changqing immediately let go of her hand after hearing this, her slender fingers brushed the hair that fell on her cheeks, and her gentle movements could not hide the pity in her heart, and her face returned to its usual demeanor. "When Niangniang said so, Weichen was relieved."
This time, Meng Xilan didn't dodge his hand, just watched him quietly.
When the two looked at each other, the orb deliberately accidentally made a little noise.
The tea lid slammed into the tea bowl and made a crisp and faint sound.
Meng Xilan's eyes sank, and then she opened her face slightly: "How is the body of this palace?" Is the baby in the womb okay? ”
When asked about business, Jiao Changqing still said with a serious face: "Niangniang's pulse is peaceful, and there is no big problem for the time being." It's just that the mother may have the possibility of premature birth......"
With Meng Xilan's current age and current body, if she wants to give birth to this child safely, I am afraid that she will have to make some preparations.
"Premature?" Meng Xilan felt a little uneasy in her heart. "Premature birth is not good for the fetus, you have to help the uterus find a way."
"It's inevitable. After this month, the mother should be ready for premature birth at any time. And Wechen will also be by the side of the mother at any time, in case of emergency. ”
Meng Xilan looked at him quietly when she heard this, and her eyes became hesitant again.
The two looked at each other silently for a while, Meng Xilan didn't express her suspicions, but just looked at him with a dim look in her eyes, and even had a hint of scrutiny.
Jiao Changqing accepted it calmly and took the lead in speaking: "Weichen will do his best to protect his mother." ”
He wouldn't tell her, of course, that it was his means. Yes, he has never used any means against her in all these years of her. Without the obstruction of others, he could stay by her side and be with her day and night for a high-sounding but extremely reasonable reason.
This method could have been used by him for more than ten years, but he was obsessed with her heart and was always in the hearts of others, so he has always hidden his ambitions. And now, those who can stand in his way, the dead and the defeated, either sleep in the ground or are like the walking dead.
This is his chance, not the first, but the last.
More than halfway through his life, the woman in front of him is the only one in his heart, and he no longer wants to hide his heart silently.
Twenty years of waiting has smoothed out his patience.
Jiao Changqing's words made Meng Xilan feel uneasy, but she still didn't say anything more.
Today, his words and deeds are full of danger. However, even so, she had to trust him.
After Jiao Changqing left, when Baozhu served tea, his hands trembled slightly.
"Niangniang, Lord Jiao is so strange today."
Meng Xilan had no intention of drinking tea, just looked at the flustered expression on Baozhu's face, and said lightly: "You can't be so panicked, Master Jiao is a trustworthy person." ”
Baozhu nodded immediately, and naturally knew the measure in his heart.
However, Jiao Changqing did what he said, stayed in Cining Palace for a long time, and began to take care of Meng Xilan's diet and daily life in person.
Meng Xilan has been "calling sick" and not seeing anyone, and the three side concubines who have just entered the palace have sent a lot of things over.
They were all waiting to see the queen mother, however, Meng Xilan only rewarded each of them, but did not meet.
Even if it was through the curtain, there were too many things for her to scruple about. These are extraordinary times, and we can't afford to lose half of them.
The emperor said that he was sick, the queen was recuperating, and the atmosphere of the entire harem was gloomy.
As the three newcomers to the palace, the most important thing for them at the moment is to be liked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and valued by the Queen. However, now that the queen is seriously ill, she gave the crown princess the power to assist in the affairs of the six palaces, which really made the three of them feel difficult.
Although they are side concubines, their status is only one level lower than that of today's crown princesses. However, in the face of the crown princess, who has taken the lead in gaining favor, their existence has become minimal.
Zhou Yan'er is the daughter of the king of Beijun, in terms of background, naturally before the three of them, Wu Huaxuan, the daughter of Jing Zhaoyin, is a person with a cold personality, who came to the palace on the orders of her parents, full of grievances, and no one wants to pay attention to it. Sun Yuyun, the daughter of Lord Sun of Hanlin Academy, is the youngest, and after entering the palace, she has been following Zhou Yan'er, wherever she goes, she goes, she is very sticky.
Before Zhou Yan'er entered the palace, she almost became the laughing stock of the whole capital because of her defeat. Her father's Haikou boasted all over the sky, but as a result, she did not become the prince's concubine in the end.
During that time, she hid in the room all day long and didn't dare to go out, hugged her mother and cried bitterly, only hating why her father was so impulsive and reckless, which made her a joke in the capital.
Her heart was anxious and hateful, but fortunately, there was still a chance to redeem it.
When her father told her that she would enter the palace as a side concubine. Zhou Yan'er was shocked at first, and then infinitely aggrieved and uncomfortable.
She confronted her father and asked him why he had agreed to it, why he had made himself a laughing stock.
Zhou Bo explained to her his helplessness, she was a woman who was favored by the prince, but she couldn't enter the palace in the name of the crown princess, so who else in the capital would dare to marry her? If she can't enter the palace, this life will be completely hopeless.
"Daughter, what about the side concubine? As long as you have the ability, you can also climb to the position of the concubine. ”
Zhou Yan'er was persuaded by her father in this way, she endured all the grievances, and only turned the grief and anger in her heart into an inevitable determination.
She had to sit in the highest position, the one that belonged to her.
Zhou Yan'er came to Cining Palace for three days to greet Meng Xilan, but who knew that the queen mother just refused to give her this face, and she refused to see her for a long time.
When Zhou Yan'er came over, Sun Yuyun always followed her.
Now, the weather is hot, and by 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun outside is poisonous.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhou Yan'er's forehead, and the palace maid beside her whispered: "Master, the queen mother is bent on recuperation, if you want to see your master, I will see you in the morning." Why should you cling to ......?"
I came here for three days in a row, and I didn't see my mother for three days, which is really shameless. However, this is not the most embarrassing, after entering the palace for so many days, the prince only came over to see her, and left after sitting for less than a cup of tea.
Zhou Yan'er looked at the closed palace door and sighed softly.
What does this mean? Why didn't you even see her?
Zhou Yan'er turned around and saw Sun Yuyun looking at herself with blank eyes: "Sister Yan'er, let's go back." ”
Zhou Yan'er glared at her slightly displeased, and felt that she was a trouble.
She has been following herself, even if she shows her face, she still doesn't know the depths.
Sun Yuyun saw her turn around and leave, and hurriedly chased after the palace maid and eunuch.
"Sister Yan'er, can I go sit with you?"
Zhou Yan'er looked back at her when she heard this: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest for a while." ”
When Sun Yuyun heard this, his expression was slightly gloomy.
Zhou Yan'er went back to her residence, but she didn't expect that there was an uninvited guest in the house.
This person is Xie Zhenzhen's grandmother, and there must be a reason why she suddenly appeared here.
"Little master, Mama Chen has been waiting for you for a long time."
The palace maid beside her stepped forward to reply, and when Zhou Yan'er saw the people around Xie Zhenzhen, she was as cautious as she was when she saw Xie Zhenzhen herself.
"Do you have any instructions from the princess?"
Mama Chen stepped forward: "The crown princess wants to invite the little master to come over and speak." ”
Zhou Yan'er just smiled lightly when she heard this: "Niangniang's orders, I naturally want to listen." However, I have just returned from Cining Palace, and in order to show respect for the crown princess, it is better to change my clothes first. ”
Mama Chen didn't speak, just waited with a straight face.
Zhou Yan'er didn't mean to rub it, but because she wanted to see Xie Zhenzhen, she deliberately dressed up, from clothes to makeup, everything was perfect.
When she was dressed out, Mama Chen looked at her and couldn't help but let out a sneer in her heart.
This Zhou Yan'er is indeed quite beautiful, but unfortunately, she doesn't know the severity. Her appearance to see the crown princess will only make the mother hate her even more and be more wary of her, which is really asking for her hardship.
