Chapter 27: The Strange Truth (2)

Hearing this, Meng Xilan couldn't help but gasp.

What a tough minion! Where did he get the courage to dare to accuse the emperor in person!

Seeing that he is thinking clearly, it doesn't seem like he is talking crazy.

Sure enough, when Zhou Shixian heard this, he was angry: "Presumptuous! I'm going to split your five horses! ”

The eunuch laughed again, his laughter was terrifying, oozing with cold, making everyone who listened to it feel cold behind him. "Thank you, Lord Ronne! The minions are willing to take the first step and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the underworld, your Majesty, rest assured, the minions will continue to serve His Highness well. Hahaha......" After saying this, he was still laughing wildly, and after laughing a few times, he suddenly closed his mouth tightly, his cheeks tensed, and he seemed to bite something hard.

Meng Xilan frowned, seeing that he was going to bite his tongue and kill himself!

Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with his eyes open, his mouth open, but he still had a smile on his face.

Such a horrific scene frightened many people present to scream.

Meng Xilan was not among them, she just didn't look over her head and couldn't bear to look at it more.

Who knows, inadvertently meeting the eyes of Concubine Ning Murong Qiao, Meng Xilan saw doubts and doubts in her eyes, and only then did she realize that her performance was too calm.

A lady who is raised in the deep boudoir, seeing such a bloody scene, her face does not change and her heart does not beat, it is indeed strange!

By the time she reacted, it was too late.

Chang Hai didn't wait for the order of the Long Live Lord, so he asked the dead eunuch to be cleaned up.

The remaining blood stains on the ground were wiped clean by the palace maids themselves, but the smell of blood still lingered in everyone's nose.

The Queen Mother's anger was unabated: "He died lightly!" There must be someone behind this, and with one of his lowest minions, he can also get close to the prince...... Hum! Ridiculous! ”

Queen Su was silent at this time, looked at the emperor, and then looked at the queen mother, not wanting to take the liberty of answering.

Concubine Ning was bold and careful: "Niangniang is right. The eunuch's mouth was stiff, and he looked like he was swearing to die. The concubine thought that someone must have deliberately arranged him as a scapegoat in advance. As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, he must be hiding somewhere to watch a good show. After speaking, he glanced at Queen Su, her eyes condensed.

The Queen Mother naturally thought of this, but the words of the slave were not completely unreasonable.

Set up a ...... Scapegoat...... Meng Xilan secretly agreed with Concubine Ning's words in her heart, but it seemed that this matter was not just as simple as someone setting up a situation.

When everyone was unsettled, Jiao Nianping walked out again, he was sweating profusely, but the expression on his face was calm. "Long live, His Royal Highness the Prince's heart has been stabilized, as long as the symptoms are detoxified, there will be no worries about life." After speaking, he immediately prescribed the medicine and went to decoction.

Zhou Shixian breathed a deep sigh of relief when he heard this, and his down-to-earth expression showed that he attached great importance to the crown prince, which was far higher than everyone expected.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly closed her hands and recited "Amitabha".

Meng Xilan stood behind her, stretched out her hand and helped her, her mood couldn't be said whether she was happy or unhappy.

In his previous life, the time limit for the crown prince had already arrived. But now that he can save his life, it is not easy to predict what will happen in the future.

This startling night passed extraordinarily long, and it was indescribably tiring.

The emperor personally sent the queen mother back to the palace, and the mother and son walked side by side, Chang Hai and Meng Xilan followed, with the palace people in front of them holding the lights to open the way, and the inner guards in the back to protect the safety.

"Your Majesty, you saw it all this time. As a prince, he was originally a person who stood on the cusp of the storm, and he was in the sixth palace in front of him, and I don't know how many people would fight his idea of that position again! If it weren't for the grace and protection of you, the emperor, the crown prince, he would ...... will become the target of public criticism, and sooner or later he will be killed by those shameless villains! ”

Zhou Shixian didn't make a sound, but his expression was gloomy.

The Queen Mother followed and said: "The prince is talented and intelligent, but he is young and frivolous and has done some foolish things. The emperor should tolerate him more, give him more opportunities, and never let him be looked down upon by the people in the palace again. The crown prince is the crown prince, this is his life, and it is also the life of our Northern Yan Dynasty! ”

Xu Yes, touched by what had just happened, the emperor did not interrupt impatiently as usual, and listened to the queen mother's teachings silently.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Don't worry, when the prince's body heals, I will give him another chance." ”

Meng Xilan followed behind, listening clearly, the thoughts in her head grew like weeds, and they were all in a mess.

It seems that in this poisoning incident, the prince not only had no danger, picked up a life, but also regained the emperor's attention.

I thought everything was as expected, but there were always variables...... Meng Xilan was worried in her heart, I don't know if this is a problem that God arranged for herself?

The crown prince was in great trouble, everyone had different thoughts, and almost overnight, the direction of the wind in the palace began to change. First of all, some people in the court admonished the prince to support the prince, thoroughly investigate the matter, and find out the real culprit. Those ministers who originally supported the crown prince even reversed their previous low-key and jointly wrote a letter, highly praising Zhou Youping, who had worked hard and hardship as a prince for many years. Then, the concubines in the palace thought of sending all kinds of heavy gifts to the prince's bedroom, and even the princes began to make superficial articles.

Zhou Youning, who finally knew, was so frightened that he almost cried when he learned about last night.

Meng Xilan hurriedly patted her hands: "Don't be afraid, princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine." ”

Zhou Youning looked depressed and frowned: "I don't understand, why would someone want to kill the prince's brother...... He has a bad temper, but he doesn't have a bad heart. ”

Meng Xilan groaned slightly: "The folk girl doesn't know either. In this world, the human heart is always the most difficult thing to understand. Sometimes one person hurts another person without any reason at all. ”

There was a hint of melancholy in her tone.

Zhou Youning blinked as if he didn't understand: "Sister Lan...... I still don't understand. But sister, will you hurt me? ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly shook her head: "Of course not." Let's pull the hook! ”

She does have poison in her heart, but only against those she holds grudges against.

A few days later, news came from the prince's womb that the prince could eat normally, but his body was weak and he couldn't get out of bed and walk around.

When Zhou Youning heard this, he immediately said that he was going to visit the patient.

The Queen Mother didn't follow: "You girl is too noisy, don't disturb the prince's purity, let Lan'er accompany the mourning family to have a look, and then take you back." ”

Zhou Youning pouted: "The imperial grandmother is so partial, she only takes her sister and doesn't take me." The imperial grandmother only hurts her sister now. ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she was afraid that she would be disgusted with herself, so she hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, Princess, Niangniang is afraid that you will accidentally get sick......

The Queen Mother also spoke: "Ning'er, don't play with a child's temper." Your sister Lan has a calm and sensible temperament, how can she be as reckless as you, and she still refuses to grow up! ”

Zhou Youning's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, he lowered his head and didn't say a word, shook his handkerchief and left angrily.

Meng Xilan hesitated, turned to look at the Queen Mother and said, "Niangniang, it's better to take the princess with you." She is really worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said bluntly: "Ning'er is innocent and simple-minded, and the mourning family doesn't let her see those people and things that she shouldn't see." ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she felt a little strange.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, Zhou Youning is a pool of clear water that cannot be mixed with impurities, so what about her?

The Queen Mother saw a strange color flashing in her eyes, as if she had something to say, but she wanted to say it and stopped, and said in a light tone: "In the future, you will still have a long time in this palace." What should be known is still to be known, and what should be seen will be seen sooner or later...... The mourning family takes you everywhere, just to let you recognize a fact. Life in this palace seems to be comfortable, but in fact it is difficult, and no one can take it lightly. ”

Meng Xilan felt a little surprised when she heard this, and she didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly talked about this to herself, so she could only nod silently.
