Hongling helped Meili slowly walk on the way to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and at the same time worriedly pulled the cloak for her, "Gege, why be in such a hurry!" Look, your legs are still limp! The night breeze is up, and it's not fun for you to catch a cold again......"

Meili had to hold on to Hongling's arm to barely walk because she was weak and weak, fine sweat oozed from her forehead, she shook her head with a wry smile, she didn't speak. Her strength has to be used to persevere in walking this long palace road leading to Le Shou Tang, to ...... Tell the Ancestor about her decision.

She lived not far from the Empress Dowager's dormitory, dragging her sick and weak body and her heart (情qíng) that she didn't dare to taste, and the road she had traveled was like a long life! She had the feeling that she was being taken out of the cold palace to meet the old ancestor. Then...... She sighed, and also sprouted a faint smoke of hope. And now, she was going to trample on the burning longing.

Hongling also said that she was in too much of a hurry...... She would never want to take this step if she could, but she had to urge herself to go as soon as possible, because if Yonghyuk looked at her with his eyes for a few more moments, she might lose the courage to leave him!

Dinner is about to end, many palace maids and eunuchs are holding food boxes and utensils walking back and forth in twos and threes, when they see Meili, they all smile and bow their heads, there are too many irony and ambiguity in that smile that she feels hard to bear, they quickly rubbed shoulders with her, she was not surprised to hear them muttering and chuckling. She couldn't hear what they were saying, so why did she need to.

Hongling felt that the weight on her arm had increased a little, and Gege's trembling became more and more obvious. "Gege?" She called out to her worriedly, "Otherwise, let's go back first." ”

Get back?

Meili took a deep breath and made herself stand as straight as she could, no, she couldn't go back! Her world is very small, but what about the palace, the mansion, and Yonghyuk? She could imagine that he was ridiculed and despised several times more than her! She had heard what those men said about her, if it was a hundred times more vicious than those vicious words, it was Yonghyuk, it was because of her that Yonghyuk was said...... How else does she face Yonghyuk, how can she face Yonghyuk's parents?!

When Ruoran left her huddled hut, she still had a little retreat in her heart, and now she ...... Completely gone!

When she saw the lantern outside the ancestral tomb (hall diàn), which had just been hung by the eunuch with a bamboo pole, her eyes were suddenly moist. She left the bitter darkness of tranquility (temple diàn), unexpectedly, only to return to another colder and lonely place.

"Gege." She was stopped by the eunuch outside the courtyard gate, "The old ancestor is meeting important ministers, please wait." ”

"What important guest, come at this time?" Hongling was a little irritable, Gege was in such a situation (情qíng), how could he "wait less" in the courtyard where the night wind was blowing?

The eunuch Pingsu and Hongling were quite familiar with each other, and came over and whispered, "It's the household servant." ”

Hongling couldn't react for a while, and still didn't have a good tone, "Who?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly dodged his feet, sneakily glanced at Meili, whose face was even paler in the dim light, and snorted, "It's Zamulan!" Su Yinggege's Amma! I came back from the paddock on purpose, so I arrived this time. ”

Hongling pursed her lips secretly, and looked at the unchanged face of Meili Biao (情qíng), it seems that there are many people who are in a hurry about this matter.

"Gege, why don't you go to the porch around the corner and sit down for a while, and take some shelter from the wind. When the turner comes out, the minions will immediately go back in for you. Seeing Meili's weak demeanor barely supported, the little eunuch was also a little unbearable, and (Re Rè) heartily proposed.

Meili nodded, she really couldn't stand still.

The porch is indeed sheltered from the wind, and therefore it is extremely dark (yin yīn), and there is no light shining here, Meili leans on the wooden pillar and waits hard, and Hongling also hurriedly walks to the courtyard to take a look, and whispers about what this Zamulang is talking about, it took so long.

There was a stir in the courtyard, and small greetings came one after another, it must have been some big person, and Hongling Flash (身shēn) hid in the darkness.

The greeting from the little eunuch just now, because it was very close, was very clear, "Say hello to Prince Qing, the prince is auspicious." ”

Meili trembled slightly, it was him, and he was here too.

"Zamulan is here?" Jing Xuan asked the eunuch in a deep voice, his tone cold and displeased.

"Yes." The eunuch was very attentive, "Look, the prince doesn't come out." ”

The sound of steady and heavy footsteps came all the way to this side, and there was a rustling of clothes, "The slave greets the prince." ”

Meili smiled faintly, this is the reality, no matter how beautiful Su Ying's Ama is, she has to kneel down to Jingxuan, the future son-in-law. If it is usual, even the emperor will give a little face, and say no courtesy when the old minister is kneeling, but at this moment...... Jing Xuan didn't seem to say anything.

After a while, Jing Xuancheng's cold voice sounded, "Get up." ”

"Wow." Zamurang said in a muffled voice, with a hint of forbearance in his tone.

"Zamulan, what made you rush back overnight?" Jing Xuan sneered, his tone arrogant and cold. Meili was a little surprised, even if Jing Xuan's division was high, it was his future father-in-law after all, and ...... Obviously, it will be of great help to him in the future, and he shouldn't have treated him with such an arrogant attitude, right?

"The little girl is seriously ill, and the slave is very worried, so she came to the emperor for leave." Zamulan said sullenly, as if he didn't dare to be too presumptuous with his young future son-in-law, and was very patient.

Jing Xuan snorted lightly and said unconcernedly, "Then go." ”

Zamulan seemed very surprised that Jing Xuan ended the conversation like this.

"Lord Wang......" Zamulan spoke again, his tone was much lower, and the little secret anger he had just now was also weakened by Jing Xuan's indifference. Su Ying is sincere to you, the emperor may be an old slave......"

"Zamulan!" Jing Xuan's tone was even more tyrannical and rude, and he simply interrupted the other party's words bluntly. "You don't lift the emperor out to press me. I am willing to marry your daughter because she still impresses me a little. His contemptuous tone made Zamulan gasp, but he didn't say anything more. Why does the emperor want me to marry her, you know in your heart! Everyone says I'm trying to get your little bit of clean silver, and I'm as disgusting as swallowing a fly, and you're still kicking my nose in the face? ”

When he said Su Ying's tone, it made her heart stab slightly, he looked at Su Ying's doting eyes, lowered his head and let Su Ying whisper in his ear...... Could it be that such a despicable word is behind the scenes? She knew that she was not qualified to be with Su Ying, but she felt sorry for her...... (Love ài) Shangjingxuan, it's really pitiful.

This embarrassing remark was not refuted by Zamulang, and he silently endured the arrogant attitude of King Qing, who was supposed to be a junior.

"Zamulan, with so much energy, let's think about how to run an errand for the emperor! How can you make those corrupt officials spit out a little more money! I promised you, and I promised the emperor that I would naturally do it. For the rest, you'll have to think less in vain! I married your daughter, what's the matter, you really set up my father-in-law's genealogy for me? Do you know what kind of woman I want to marry? Have you really forgotten what happened to you? ”

Zamulan still didn't speak, and listened silently to the reprimand of his future son-in-law.

"Alright, let's go. Talk to your daughter too. I gave her what I should have given her, you shouldn't be too careful, you should not interfere! ”

"Wow."

This "chirp", Meili felt that (chest xiōng) mouth was stuffy, what heart (情qíng) did Zamulang use to say this word? Helpless, to fate, to reality...... The deepest helplessness. The man who said such hurtful things with an indifferent attitude couldn't refute or resist.

Meili's fingers pinched the thin wood of the horizontal railing, and he ...... It seems that the future of everyone has been planned, including her. She had heard it very clearly that what he wanted to give Su Ying was the title of the princess and the in-law relationship with Zamulang. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, now the emperor can use Zamulang, relying on comfort in every way, once the time passes, what kind of silver does Zamulang get back, why can he get it back, can these obvious secrets be tolerated by the emperor? So the emperor wanted to reassure Zamulang, and Zamulang also needed such a powerful son-in-law.

She was wrong again, and she saw things (情qíng) too simple and beautiful. She thought he at least genuinely liked Su Ying. He likes Su Ying, but what he can understand as "liking" is the momentary excitement about beauty and softness.

He said, "The woman you want to marry" is her, right? Marry? It's just a partial room, and it's a side blessing when it sounds good, but it's actually just a concubine's room.

She was not the first woman he wanted to marry, there was a Mongolian princess before, and then Su Ying, and she was definitely not the last.

She suddenly felt a sense of relief, her choice was really a relief!

He could blackmail anyone who asked for him, but for her...... What else could he do?

When everyone was gone, and the eunuch finally came to ask her to go in to see the old ancestor, she even smiled lightly, the lonely future that was originally a little afraid is better than marrying the man who is cold-hearted and unloved!

“…… Have you thought about it? Listening to Meili's firm request, Xiaozhuang was silent for a long time.

"Yes! Slaves and maids are willing to worship the Buddha for the rest of their lives and pray for the blessings and longevity of their ancestors. Meili kowtowed again and repeated.

"Meili ......" Xiaozhuang sighed a little tiredly, in the past two days, for this child, she has broken her heart. Come here. She patted the kang mat on the side of the (body shēn) with pity, Meili sat close to hers, and Xiaozhuang stroked her pale but unusually pretty little face with tears, "Child, you have really grown up." ”

She was really afraid that Meili was here to tell her that He Jingxuan was innocent and that she would marry Yonghyuk. She believed what she said, but ...... She was torn between a rock and a hard place. Ying Ru, who cried and died in front of her, she was also a mother, she knew the deep expectations for her son, and she also understood the heart of a mother who was willing to give her life to protect her child, and she couldn't contradict her. With a resolute face, Yonghyuk, who is not Meili and will not marry, has been in the palace for a long time, and she is also moved by the indefatigability of this sincere (情qíng) man, she can't help but agree to him, she knows what he will lose if he marries Meili. Jing Xuan, who is bound to marry Meili, this cold and domineering child even confessed in front of her that he likes Meili, and marrying her will take care of her for the rest of her life.

It seems that no matter how she deals with it, it is absolutely nothing (情qíng).

This fragile girl, no matter what she does, is destined to be hurt...... can be willing to spend a lonely and lonely life to bear all the pain alone. She was heartbroken again! Meili has suffered too much since she was a child, is it ...... God still thinks it's not enough?

"Beautiful Glass...... Let me think about it again...... "She couldn't bear to promise her!" This girl who is like a flower and a beautiful moon, is it because of this fluttering sentence that she will lose her life? At a young age, do you know how long this life is?

Meili smiled and thought...... Can there be a way? "Ancestor...... Meili has no regrets, no regrets for the rest of her life. ”
