On the day Meng Xiyue left the Meng family, no one looked at her, including her biological mother, Aunt Wang, who didn't dare to show up, and only asked the maid to take some gold and silver jewelry, which was the coffin book she had accumulated for many years.

Meng Xiyue didn't have much luggage, except for the four seasons clothes and two sets of heads, the Meng family didn't prepare anything for her.

Although Meng Xilan had returned to the palace, she still left a message to the kitchen early in the morning, asking them to stew chicken soup and send it to Meng Xiyue as usual.

Double Happiness served the chicken soup and skimmed the oil on the soup noodles cleanly, which was very careful.

Seeing this, Meng Xiyue smiled slightly: "No wonder my sister chose you, you are so careful." ”

Shuangxi lowered his head and lowered his eyes, "This is all ordered by Master Lan." ”

Meng Xiyue tasted the chicken soup and asked, "What else did my sister tell you?" ”

Shuangxi groaned: "She instructed the slave to serve the girl and the fetus in the girl's womb. ”

When Meng Xiyue heard this, a mocking smile hid at the corner of her mouth. Meng Xilan really knows how to be a person, and when she comes, she has to pretend to be a saint, and let her write down this good.

Because it's so embarrassing, everyone deliberately wants to forget her existence. The Hou Mansion only sent a blue-topped carriage to pick up Meng Xiyue, who was immobile, and her maid Shuangxi.

Meng Xiyue looked at the old carriage in front of her, and she really couldn't associate it with the big red wedding sedan chair that the bride was sitting in when she got married. Fortunately, Song Wenyu never gave her any promises, and she didn't have any extravagant hopes for this. However, she thought that Song Wenyu would come to pick her up in person, and it seemed that she had overestimated herself again...... No, it should be overestimating Song Wenyu.

In the past few days, Meng Xiyue has been beaten a lot and scolded a lot, and everyone in the Meng family is laughing at her and despising her, but she doesn't care. There is only one thing she cares about, and that is her situation in the Hou Mansion in the future. Just in the name of a concubine, accompanied by Song Wenyu's side, her life is destined to not be easy.

She has to think about it in the long run......

After Meng Xiyue got into the carriage, the Meng family also sent someone to the palace gate to deliver the news.

After Meng Xilan came out of the Buddha Hall, Zhu Lu whispered a few words in her ear.

Meng Xilan nodded. Only a few days after she left, the rumors in the palace spread. The most ugly thing is that the Meng family did everything to get married and get one free in order to be related to Hou Fupan.

Although these words did not have a chance to fall into Meng Xilan's ears, everyone who should know already knew them.

One day, Meng Xilan was invited to Zhaohua Palace for tea, and even Murong Qiao couldn't help but laugh out loud in front of her: "If this palace had known that you had such a sister who yearns to climb up, she would definitely look at your face and help her." ”

Meng Xilan slowly put down the teacup and said lightly: "Niangniang, don't make fun of me, I'm already embarrassed enough." ”

Murong Qiao didn't mean to laugh at her, but felt curious. "Don't mind, this is not what Bengong meant, Bengong just thinks that you are so smart, how can you allow such a thing to happen?"

"Niangniang really thinks highly of me, I don't have that much ability."

Murong Qiao laughed for a while, then returned to normal: "Don't take this matter to heart, everyone will laugh for a while and it will pass." As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and which rich person does not have a few poor relatives? Besides, if you think about it, the people of the Hou Mansion are more embarrassed than your situation. ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this.

Without further ado, Murong Qiao talked about serious things: "The day when the emperor will go to the palace has been decided. This time I traveled to Jiangnan, and the Queen Mother also went with her, so you have to start preparing. ”

Meng Xilan shook her head with a smile: "I have already asked the Queen Mother to stay in the palace." ”

"Huh?" Murong Qiao looked at her in surprise: "What are you doing in the palace?" Why did you miss such a good opportunity in vain? ”

Meng Xilan naturally has what she wants to do, but the excuse she says is: "The grandmother at home has not been in good health recently." I want to stay in the capital, so I can go back to my house often, so as not to make any more shameless things. ”

In fact, her real purpose was to find an opportunity to inquire about the truth about Concubine Xiao's death. The people who went to the palace to escape the summer this time were the most favored and powerful people in the palace, and when they were all gone, the palace was mostly empty, so Meng Xilan felt that this was a good opportunity to inquire about things.

Murong Qiao raised her eyes and looked at Meng Xilan with a puzzled face, unable to think of what she was thinking.

However, in addition to Meng Xilan, there is another person in the palace who does not know current affairs, and that is Zhou Youchen.

This summer trip was a good opportunity for him to please his father, but he also refused to resign, the reason was to concentrate on his homework, so as not to disappoint the hard work of his father and mother.

Meng Xilan was also shocked when she heard this, and she hurried to the Changqing Palace, trying to persuade him to change his mind.

Who knows, Zhou Youchen has a firm attitude, "I want to stay." ”

"Why? Didn't you always want to go out of the palace and see? ”

Zhou Youchen opened his mouth a little speechlessly, followed the stuffy head out of the house, and didn't say anything.

Meng Xilan frowned slightly, called the little round beside him over and asked, "Ninth Master, what's wrong?" ”

"The minions don't know." Xiao Yuanzi replied truthfully.

The master's temperament has always been uncertain, he doesn't know when he will be happy, he doesn't know when he will be angry, and he often disappears alone, which is simply unpredictable.

When Meng Xilan heard this, she simply didn't delve into it, and let him do it himself. After all, she couldn't decide everything for him.

On the day the emperor left the palace with everyone, it was a huge momentum. Meng Xilan stood on top of the corner tower and watched the long dragon of people.

"Master, it's deserted in the palace now." Zhulu's tone seemed to be a little regretful.

"It's not cold, it's pure." Meng Xilan's tone was flat and in a good mood.

A month later, the sun in the capital was so hot that it could dry the green grass on the ground. Everyone is looking forward to a hearty heavy rain, but unfortunately, they can't look forward to it.

There are enough ice cubes stored in the palace, and Cining Palace here is even more non-landing.

Zhulu moved the ice basin to the side of the master's bed, then gently fanned it, and asked, "Master, is this cooler?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. "It's so hot that you can't move at all."

It's hot to sit and it's hot to lie down, and I want to go out for a walk, but there is only a poisonous and big sun overhead.

Zhulu fanned and said, "It would be good if the master went to the palace to escape the summer, so he didn't have to stay here and suffer." ”

Meng Xilan glanced at her: "This month's sin is not in vain. ”

Back then, many people only knew a little about Concubine Xiao, and those who knew the truth, in addition to the strange "white-clothed female ghost" in Changqing Palace, there were actually many people. It's just that most of them have been in a high position for more than half a year, and they can't do any fine errands, so they are either sent to the miscellaneous servants, or they are thrown out of the palace and have no whereabouts.

Gao Fuli went around and found a few old eunuchs who were not old enough to be confused, they had all worked in the Changqing Palace, but they were all silent about the events of the year, and they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding between them.

Meng Xilan asked Gao Fuli to work harder, and let them say something no matter what.

A few days later, Meng Xilan was thinking about her family, so she sent someone to invite her grandmother and eldest sister-in-law into the palace to talk about it. Who knows, as soon as the two entered the palace, they brought her an "unexpected" news.

"The Hou Mansion sent someone over, saying that Xiyue had a miscarriage a few days ago, and the child was gone."

Meng Xilan silently counted the days. It seems that Shuangxi is really obedient, obeys the instructions, and has not missed a day.

"It's a pity, an innocent little life. How can you have a miscarriage? Meng Xilan hugged Brother Yun and patted it gently, took him a purse to fiddle with, and sighed.

"Hou Fu didn't say it, only said that it was a miscarriage." Mrs. Meng put down the teacup and said, "What a sin." The innocence is gone, the child is gone, how will she gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion in the future? ”

Qiao Huiyun kept his head down and looked at his tea bowl intently, and only said after a while: "Maybe it's the people of the Song family, who did it themselves, maybe they don't want that child to be born." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why did my sister-in-law say that?" ”

Qiao Huiyun smiled bitterly: "I just guessed. After all, they don't even want to mention the reason, maybe it's hard to say. ”

Meng Xilan looked at the newly erupted small teeth in Brother Yun'er's mouth, and said quietly, "Maybe." However, if the Song family didn't care about that child, they wouldn't be so anxious to take the person over. Perhaps, it's just that Xiyue is not blessed in her life and is not worthy of this child. ”

Old Lady Meng sighed: "If she does such a thing, God will not help her." ”

As soon as the words fell, Brother Yun moved in Meng Xilan's arms, and pointed his little finger at the grapes opposite.

Meng Xilan smiled silently, asked Zhulu to bring the fruit plate, and allocated them to Brother Yun to eat one by one.

After dark, Meng Xilan went to the Buddhist hall to put a stick of incense on the child in Meng Xiyue's womb. For some reason, she suddenly lowered her head and sniffed her hands, always feeling a faint smell of blood.

"Zhulu, bring water, I want to wash my hands."

Zhulu hurriedly brought a basin of water, and also took flower dew and fragrant pancreas.

Meng Xilan washed it three times, and her hands were red, which made Zhu Lu surprised: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Meng Xilan sniffed her hand again, and then took a long breath and said, "It's okay, Zuo is just a little uncomfortable in his heart." ”

It's the first time in my life that I've hurt someone, and it's very uncomfortable. Meng Xilan could even imagine what Meng Xiyue would be like at this time. A pale and haggard face, eyes full of tears, and a heart full of hatred.

Zhu Lu said softly: "Master, you have done nothing wrong. ”

"When Shuangxi left the Hou Mansion, he sent someone to send her far away. Then, change her name and surname, and don't let her talk too much. Meng Xilan got up slowly, feeling that she must not be able to sleep tonight.

Zhulu nodded yes. When she walked out of her master's room, she called Gao Fuli aside, "The master feels uncomfortable, you can see it." ”

Gao Fuli nodded: "Of course, it's my own sister in the end." ”

"Double happiness, how are you going to arrange it?"

Gao Fuli slowly stretched out two fingers: "A boat, a pack of medicine." ”

Zhu Lu was shocked when she heard this: "Medicine? What medicine? ”

Gao Fuli lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, it's not poison, it's a dumb medicine." ”

Zhulu shuddered slightly: "You really have a way!" But that's too ruthless. ”

"For the sake of the master's worry-free, it's not okay if you don't be ruthless." Gao Fuli walked to the gate of the palace with her, and then said: "The master is soft-hearted, and we have to do those things she doesn't want to do." Otherwise, the master's troubles will only increase. As soon as his words fell, a person suddenly flashed next to him, startling the two of them.

Zhu Lu looked at it fixedly, saw that it was Zhou Youchen, and was in a trance, before saluting: "Say hello to the ninth master, how can the ninth master ......?"

Zhou Youchen was alone, with no sedan chair and no entourage behind him, looking at the two of them: "What did you just say?" Mysterious and mysterious? ”

Gao Fuli and Zhu Lu glanced at each other and waved their hands again and again: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's all gossip!" Zhu Lu diverted the topic and said, "Ninth Master, it's not too early, you better hurry back to the palace." ”
