In the past few days, the queen mother's mood has been good, the prince's wedding is imminent, and the palace has become lively.

The queen and Concubine Ning were quite restrained, and Li Jieyu carefully raised the fetus and acted in a low-key manner. The harem was peaceful, so that the emperor also followed the pure heart and few desires, went to the court on time every day, and worked diligently in political affairs.

However, among so many good things, there is only one bad thing that gives her a headache, and that is Meng Xilan, who can't afford to be sick.

A well-behaved person suddenly became so sick that he couldn't get out of bed.

The originally delicate little face now looks bloodless at all, and his expression is haggard, and he doesn't even have the strength to say a word. Seeing her suffer so much, the Queen Mother almost burst into tears several times.

It's obviously just a minor illness with a cold, but it's not getting better, but it's getting worse and worse.

If it weren't for the gold-lettered plaque of the Jiao family, it would really make people wonder if there was something wrong.

The news of Meng Xilan's serious illness spread in the palace, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it reaches the outside of the palace. People are the same, the worst is the worst!

The Queen Mother was a little worried, if there was really a good one, how could she stand it? And how to explain it to the Anguo Mansion? Mama Kong is also in a worried mood, she has followed the Queen Mother for so many years, and everything she has done is proper, but this time, she did not take good care of Meng Xilan.

So on this day, after nightfall, Mama Kong personally came to the Queen Mother and knelt down to plead guilty.

The Queen Mother didn't look at her, only asked her to get up and speak. "You're an old man, watch out for your knees."

Mama Kong still knelt and couldn't afford it: "The old slave is useless, and it is not good to do things, so he should kneel and admit his mistakes." ”

Now for her, what matters to her knees, what she is most afraid of is that the head on her neck cannot be saved.

The Queen Mother pondered for a while, simply let her kneel by herself, and said slowly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are impermanent. The mourning family knows that you are doing things carefully, maybe this is fate, God is deliberately punishing the mourning family, so that the child can not afford to be sick, and let the mourning family suffer together. ”

"Niangniang...... "Mama Kong looked at her worriedly.

Back then, when Princess Wen'an died, the Queen Mother was already in pain, and now, if she wants to see Meng Xilan suffering from illness again, how tormented her heart should be. Thinking of this, a chill ran down her spine.

"Niangniang, in fact, Miss Meng is sick this time, it's really a bit strange......"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she suddenly sat up straight, and a chill ran down her spine: "What did you say?" ”

Out of consideration for herself, Mama Kong spoke boldly and bluntly. "Miss Meng usually does things in an orderly manner, and she is also thoughtful and cautious in her food, clothing, housing and transportation. So, the old slave always felt that there was something wrong with this......"

The Queen Mother frowned unconsciously: "Since you know that there is a problem, why don't you go and find out?" ”

Mama Kong wanted to speak and stopped: "Niangniang...... The old slave will be honest with you. Although the old slave has been serving Miss Meng for some time, in the girl's heart, she has always treated the old slave as an outsider who is not close to her...... Usually the old slave rarely lets her serve her food and clothing, and she is always accompanied by her two personal maids. ”

The Queen Mother looked displeased: "So you have been wronged?" It's a shame that you are still an old man in the palace, and you don't even have the ability to please your master. She doesn't like you by her side, so naturally she has her own reasons, and you should review and review it yourself. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Meng Xilan every day, her personality was gentle and obedient, not like a wary child. The reason why she is so estranged from Mama Kong must be for a reason, either she relies on the old and sells the old, or she puts on a shelf that should not be placed.

When Mama Kong heard this, her face was red and white for a while, and she nodded and admitted her mistake: "What Niangniang taught me is that all old slaves are useless." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes gradually darkened, and she coldly ordered: "The mourning family wants you to find out the ins and outs of this matter." Look at this disease, whether it is a fate or a man-made disaster. ”

She can accept the cruelty of fate, but she can't tolerate someone doing anything under her nose.

If she is really sick, it is better to say, if someone does it on purpose, she will never spare it.

Mama Kong's heart tightened, and she should be repeatedly. This can be regarded as an opportunity for me to make up for my mistakes.

……

After Meng Xilan fell ill, Chu Jingchuan sent messages to Gao Fuli again and again. No doubt he was worried, so worried that he could barely sleep. However, with his identity, unless he has the permission of the Queen Mother, he can't step into Cining Palace at all.

Meng Xilan understood his feelings, but in this situation, she couldn't see him yet, and it was not the right time......

Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, when Jiao Changqing appeared again, his face became unclear, and for the first time, he gave Meng Xilan a "suggestion" straightforwardly.

His meaning was very simple, that is, to let Meng Xilan take the opportunity to leave the palace.

Since she is now "seriously ill", it is better to take this opportunity to go home and recuperate in peace. In this way, she can temporarily stay away from the land of right and wrong, away from the calculations of the county lord of Anning.

Meng Xilan could hear his irritability, closed her eyes slightly, and said quietly: "My lord, I can't leave the palace, I want to stay here." ”

Zhou Li'er couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to wait for her and wait for this opportunity.

When Jiao Changqing heard this, the expression on his face became as cold as an ice cube.

"If the girl has to go her own way, there is nothing she can do to help her. Pretending to be sick is not a long-term solution, once the Queen Mother assigns another imperial doctor to come, this matter will be revealed. ”

Meng Xilan asked lightly, "Do you regret it?" Do you regret that you shouldn't have helped me, or are you scared? ”

"I just don't want to damage the Jiao family's reputation for a hundred years because of my actions." Jiao Changqing suddenly spoke righteously. "If you deliberately pretend to be sick just for childish revenge tricks, then you will cause a lot of trouble."

He did promise to help her, but he also had his own principles. He wouldn't help her hurt anyone.

"Master Jiao, just as you are worried about your family's reputation, I also have my own worries. I didn't enter the palace to avoid injury, but to climb up desperately, if I left like this, it would be my loss, and the Meng family would lose. ”

She can't even clean up a Zhou Li'er, how will she cope with those bloody days in the future?

At this moment, Meng Xilan's eyes became extremely bright.

It's really strange why every time she faces Jiao Changqing, she unconsciously becomes honest, and even unabashed.

Jiao Changqing took a deep look at her, looking at the eyes that were as bright as the morning star and as deep as the ancient pool.

He suddenly realized that he had been thinking wrong all along. I thought she was just a child, but it turned out to be the opposite......
