"Why are you laughing?" Meng Zihan looked at me with an embarrassed look. A few red clouds appeared on his formerly domineering face, which actually looked a little cute.
"Did I laugh? There's something wrong with my eyes." I cursed in a low voice, ignored him, sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea.
Meng Zihan couldn't help but feel discouraged when he saw that I still didn't have a good look on his face. There was a hint of helplessness in his words: "You have to find out who the murderer is before you forgive me, right?!"
I remained silent, even though I knew almost exactly who it was, but in order to save my own face, I still chose not to give in. This was not only for others to see, but more importantly, I
I need to make Meng Zihan understand in his heart: I am not a woman who can be fooled casually, let alone a woman who is jealous and out-of-mind for him.
Meng Zihan saw that I ignored him and was thinking about himself as if there was no one else around, so he gave up. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, so he looked at me with piercing eyes and asked, "What is your relationship with Leng Mo?"
"
I was startled, wondering how he knew about Leng Mo, and suddenly I remembered that Liu Qianli was also present when he picked me up. Could it be that Liu Qianli told him? If so, then I can only tell the truth, otherwise, according to Mencius
With my cold temper, you must suspect that I am having an affair or something.
"It doesn't matter, just friends." I replied lightly, still looking at the cup.
"Just an ordinary friend, he will help you get out of the palace again and again?" Meng Zihan's voice suddenly rose a little, his eyes always lingering on my face.
"Friends are friends. What you want to think is your business and has nothing to do with me." I impatiently increased my volume and yelled at him.
Not only is this man seriously ill, but he is also more chauvinistic than others. Sometimes, it really makes people feel helpless.
Meng Zihan saw that I looked unhappy and stopped asking. He had a rough idea in his mind. So he stood up immediately, walked to me, and said with a bright smile: "You are tired too, take a rest, I have to go."
The memorial has been approved. If anything happens, just let me know."
"Yeah." I responded in a muffled voice without looking at him.
"Then I'll see you again in the evening?" Meng Zihan said patiently and with a flattering smile.
At this time, I turned my attention to his face, smiled forcefully, and didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. I know very well that Meng Zihan's temper is nothing more than three things. If you keep wearing down his patience, then he will definitely suffer.
You. Furthermore, after thinking about it, seeing his attitude towards the Queen Mother today, we can see that for the Queen Mother, he only obeys her orders on the surface. Therefore, no matter from which perspective, I cannot afford to offend him.
of.
When Meng Zihan saw that I finally had some expressions, his handsome face immediately relaxed, he smiled like a little kid who got some candy, and walked out happily.
How cheap! I couldn't help cursing in my heart. Male creatures like men are like children. When they see what others have, they want it themselves. When they really get it, they become careless and no longer cherish it.
"Xi'er, I'm hungry." I spent a long time chatting with Meng Zihan, and I didn't even take a bite of food.
When Xi'er saw that Meng Zihan had left, she hurriedly ran in, holding a big tray in her hand, and shouted with a smile: "Miss, I brought your favorite pastry. Now
Let’s pad your belly first.”
"Okay." My Xi'er is always so considerate.
Under Xi'er's repeated questioning, I briefly recounted to her all the experiences I had experienced after leaving the palace. The little girl's eyes widened when she heard this, and she sighed again and again, and her little face was completely changed.
"Miss, they are so pitiful." Xi'er sobbed while wiping her tears.
Xi'er refers to the Li Bai brothers, yes, why wouldn't I be shocked by them?! That tragic scene will probably remain in my heart forever.
"Xi'er, remember: Don't struggle with yourself in everything. Believe in yourself. Believe that there will always be a rainbow after the storm." This sentence may be for Xi'er, but it is also for myself.
"Yes, Miss. Xi'er understands."
At this moment, Chunxiang rushed in in a panic and shouted: "Queen, Prince Xuan wants to see you."
Well? Prince Xuan? What is he doing here? I have some doubts in my heart. I just returned to the palace today. How did he get the news so quickly? Did Xiaodie tell him?!
"Miss, why are you still in a daze? Go quickly." Xi'er hurriedly urged from the side.
"Oh." I finally came back to my senses, and still walked out with doubts.
"See you, Queen." Prince Xuan was still in high spirits, looking at me with piercing eyes, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Get up." I smiled and hurriedly walked up to the phoenix chair in the hall and sat down.
"How are you doing these days, Queen?" Prince Xuan also sat down on a chair on the side and asked with concern, looking straight at me.
"Thank you, Prince Xuan, for your concern. The Ai family is doing well." I smiled politely, looking like a queen-to-be.
When Prince Xuan heard what I said, his eyes dimmed, he glanced at me and said, "Is the queen still pursuing the assassin's case?"
"Yes." I still smiled, feeling a little unhappy. It turned out that he came here for this matter. Meng Zihan, what the hell?! It only took a few minutes, but he invited a lobbyist so quickly?! He was pretending to be respectful on the surface.
My opinions are secretly competing with me.
"Your Majesty, can you stop investigating this matter?" Prince Xuan looked at me tentatively, hesitating in his words.
"Why? Give me a reason." Although I feel vaguely that something is wrong, no matter who it is, I need an explanation.
"Empress, do you have to ask?" A trace of pain flashed in Prince Xuan's eyes, and his bright eyes suddenly darkened.
"Yes." Two words were the answer.
"If I tell you who is the instigator, will you let her go?" Prince Xuan paused, took a step back and begged, with a trace of hesitation.
"It depends on who you are talking about?" Although I already knew the answer in my heart, I still didn't want to believe it.
"It's Xiaodie, it's her, it's all her instigation." King Xuan finally said calmly. People are like this, even if they didn't want to say anything before, but once they said it, they could calmly seem to
Talk about others.
It was indeed her, that frail woman, it didn't look like it, it really didn't look like it!
"Empress, you know, she didn't mean it, she just had too much affection for the emperor." Seeing that there was no expression on my face, Prince Xuan couldn't help but explain anxiously.
"I understand, please go out." I said, feeling extremely sad in my heart.
"Empress, then..." Prince Xuan saw that my face was covered with a layer of gloom, and he couldn't help but said worriedly, and his words sped up a bit.
"Don't worry, I won't pursue it." I forced a smile at him, waved my hand, turned to Xi'er and said, "Xi'er, help me in."
Seeing this situation, Xi'er hurriedly responded, walked towards me, helped me up, and walked directly towards the palace regardless of what Prince Xuan was doing.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xi'er squatted beside me and asked with concern.
"It's nothing. Although I already knew it was her, I don't know why. When I heard it just now, I still felt a little uncomfortable in my heart." I honestly told Xi'er my feelings. Although I didn't expect her to understand my feelings.
, but when I say it, I just hope it makes me feel better.
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Xi'er seemed to understand my mood very well, her little face was full of distress.
"What else can we do? Do you think Meng Zihan will really continue to investigate? In fact, he already knew who it was, maybe before I left the palace. But what's the use? He did it on purpose. He did it on purpose.
Cover it up." I calmly expressed my unhappiness, and my trust in Meng Zihan weakened even further.
