"Frightened?"
The second prince's voice suddenly sounded, frightening her.
She was a little panicked and couldn't help but take a step back.
The next moment, she saw a look of disappointment and hurt on the second prince's face.
"Everyone in the palace treats me coldly because of my background. Now even Miss Meng, you..."
She really couldn't bear to see the second prince showing such an expression. In that extremely clear dream, she also had real feelings.
So she quickly waved her hand, "No, Mr. Shen, I don't have this kind of -"
She stopped talking abruptly.
She accidentally called out "Shen Lang"!
The second prince was stunned when he heard this, but soon, he actually raised a smile.
"Miss Meng, I'm very happy that you are willing to call me like this."
When she heard this, her heart softened suddenly, and she couldn't help but defend the second prince in her heart.
It was Yu Zhaoyi who killed the fourth prince, not the second prince. He didn't know that it was the fourth prince who was hiding in the dark, otherwise he would definitely stop Yu Zhaoyi.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
At this time, the second prince suddenly leaned over slightly and said warmly: "Miss Meng, I know this is very abrupt, but I still have a merciless request."
Seeing the second prince's expression, she could not refuse. She nodded repeatedly, "Second prince, please speak."
The second prince seemed a little shy, and he blushed slightly.
"I really admire Miss Meng's talent. If possible, could Miss Meng write down the poems you have written and give them to me."
She was a little surprised when she heard this.
In the dream, Shen Lang didn't seem to be so interested in poetry. It was just a way for her to become famous.
"Isn't it possible?" the second prince asked cautiously.
She nodded quickly, "Of course it's not a problem, it's just that now I don't have a pen or paper—"
The second prince immediately answered, "Don't worry, Miss Meng will write slowly after she returns to the house. I will ask my servant to wait at the back door of Meng's house. When will Miss Meng finish writing, how about giving it to me?"
For some reason, she always felt a little weird.
These days, she has been taught a lot by the cheap lady, and she has learned a lot of etiquette. Giving things in private like this seems to be a bit like giving and receiving in private.
If caught, it would be a disaster for the woman!
Perhaps seeing the embarrassment on her face, the second prince asked in a low voice: "Miss Meng, what's wrong? If you don't want to, you can reject me at any time. It doesn't matter."
As soon as these words came out, she could no longer bear to refuse and agreed on the spot.
As a result, when she timidly said goodbye to the second prince and walked back happily, she met two young eunuchs.
When they saw her, they saluted hastily.
"Miss Meng, the Holy One has ordered that all courtiers and family members leave the palace as soon as possible. You are the only one left!"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yes... the fourth prince drowned and was discovered, right?
Thinking of this, she stuffed money into the two little eunuchs like in the TV series and asked quickly:
"Two father-in-laws, what happened?"
The little eunuch weighed his hands, looked at each other, and whispered:
"Miss Meng, it's hard to tell you more about some things. Anyway, the fourth prince is in danger and is waiting for trial!"
She stopped immediately.
In distress?
Not drowning?
It was impossible for the eunuch to joke about such a big matter, so everything was different from the dream again!
Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
If the fourth prince is fine, Yu Zhaoyi will definitely be killed, then won't Shen Lang also be involved?

"Xiao Tao!"
When his thoughts reached this point, Meng Guxue suddenly shouted out the door.
Master Meng restrained Meng Guxue's feet, but did not restrain her maid.
Xiaotao heard the call and pushed open the door. Meng Guxue grabbed her hastily.
"Xiao Tao, is there any news outside?"
Xiao Tao nodded in surprise, "Miss, how did you know? News has spread."
"This servant just heard from Mother Fang that Yu Zhaoyi was so arrogant that she was quartered by five horses. The second prince also said that he was banned from the clan's mansion for a year!"
Meng Guxue was suddenly startled.
The Zongren Mansion was banned for a year? In the dream, Shen Lang was invincible, but he had never been so embarrassed!
So, was that dream real?
At this moment, Meng Guxue had deep doubts in her heart, and she also had mixed feelings.
She doesn't have too much affection for the second prince now, and it's not too late to withdraw.
If she gives away the collection of poems tonight, she will completely put herself on the side of the second prince.
If the second prince fell by then, she might not be spared either.
However, if the dream is true, the second prince will eventually become the final winner.
He is now in a desperate situation. If he never abandons her, it will move his heart even more and consolidate his position in his heart.
This is a big gamble!
If you win, you will be glorious, if you lose, your life will be at risk!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue seemed to hear the beating of her own heartbeat in her ears.
"Miss?"
Xiao Tao was a little frightened when she saw Meng Guxue's solemn expression.
"Meet Madam."
Suddenly, a greeting sounded outside the house, the door was opened, and Mrs. Meng left and returned.
Meng Guxue was startled for a moment, then hurriedly rushed forward, took Mrs. Meng's hand, and said half coquettishly and half apologetically:
"Mom, please don't be angry with your daughter. She deserves to be beaten just now, and she said such words to make my mother sad."
Mrs. Meng's eyes were still red, but the expression on her face was extremely calm.
"Xiao Tao, go out first and close the door."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Tao quickly retreated.
Meng Guxue was a little uneasy, so she pulled Mrs. Meng to sit by the bed and asked flatteringly: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you have something to say to your daughter?"
Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Guxue seriously by the candlelight, and her heart softened slightly when she saw her delicate and charming face.
But in an instant, her expression hardened again.
"Xue'er, mother, after much thought, if you stay in the capital with your temper, you will cause trouble sooner or later."
Meng Guxue was startled when she heard this, and her face turned a little pale.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Meng took a deep breath and said coldly: "Mom has a relative in Qingzhou. Speaking of which, you want to call her cousin. Her family is extremely wealthy. There is only one brother who is three years older than you."
"My cousin wrote a long time ago, saying that she is very happy with you and hopes to get married."
"My mother doesn't want you to be too far away from home, but after what happened today, I feel that the rules in this capital are too strict and are really not suitable for you."
"When you arrive in Qingzhou in the future, because you are a daughter of an official family and have a high status, you will definitely receive preferential treatment. Moreover, your cousin is kind-hearted and will treat you as if she were her own child."
"Then you can stay away from these intrigues and have no worries."
Mrs. Meng really had good intentions and was willing to endure the pain of separation for the sake of Meng Guxue's happiness.
Even though Meng Guxue had hurt her with his words, she turned around and arranged an excellent home for Meng Guxue.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
However, Meng Guxue was shocked after hearing this, but she shook her head repeatedly.
"No! Mom, I won't leave! I won't leave the capital!"
She will step by step become the prince's concubine, the crown prince, and the empress of the world!
She is a time-traveling girl, how can she not make a splash and hide in Qingzhou?
