Meng Mingshu was reborn.
In her previous life, she had the best husband, yet she despised him at every turn. To get rid of Xiao Yan, Meng Mingshu caused trouble daily, doing everything to mak...
Chapter 58 I love my husband the most
Meng Mingshu spread her hands:
"Then you may suppose that I like him, for I loathe him with all my heart."
"I wish he would die a miserable death, but hearing that you misunderstood that I like him makes me feel sick."
Xiao Yan: "Then why did you give him that medicine before?"
Meng Mingshu raised her head and put her hands on her hips:
"Xiao Yan, who just said we won't talk about the past anymore?"
Meng Mingshu felt that Xiao Yan must have learned this habit of bringing up old things from her.
In the past, when she was acting unreasonably, the best way she could do was to bring up old matters and deliberately make trouble for Xiao Yan.
"Actually, I drugged him just to embarrass him. I don't like him at all, and I never have from the beginning to the end."
"After all, he's not even one ten-thousandth as good as my husband, and I'm not blind..."
Seeing Xiao Yan's brows loosen and a barely perceptible smile on his face,
Meng Mingshu continues to work hard:
"With a man as handsome as my husband, who is unrivaled in the world, and such a jewel before him, how could I possibly care about other ordinary people?"
Meng Mingshu held Xiao Yan's arm, tilted her head back and raised her chin, looking at him with her extremely beautiful eyes.
She deliberately dragged out her tone to act coquettishly.
"I have the best husband in the world, and I wouldn't trade him for a hundred thousand Xie Yuans."
"I love my husband the most. Who is so lucky to have the best husband in the world?"
"So it's me. I love Xiao Yan so much, no one can snatch him from me..."
Xiao Yan thought that he had really fallen into Meng Mingshu's trap.
With just a few sweet words from her, all his jealousy and anger disappeared.
Even if Meng Mingshu really had an affair.
He was afraid that he would be fooled by her and would not be willing to blame her at all.
Xiao Yan used his right hand to hold Meng Mingshu in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair: "Remember what you said."
"If I find out you're fickle..."
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Meng Mingshu was curious: "What do you want to do?"
"I'll break your legs and lock you to the bed. You can't go anywhere and you'll just have to wait for me to come back every day."
Xiao Yan spoke very seriously, and his dark eyes were frighteningly deep.
Meng Mingshu couldn't help but shudder: "I don't want this."
Then she would really become Xiao Yan's forbidden delicacy.
This is too scary.
"Surely my husband wouldn't do this to me, would he? I'm scared."
Xiao Yan'an stroked her face and said, "Don't be afraid."
"Just be good and nothing will happen."
But after returning to Beijing, the customs still had to be closed.
Otherwise he might have suffocated to death.
"Xie Yuan, how do you deal with this?"
Xiao Yan asked again.
Meng Mingshu: "How about we castrate him too? Let him become a eunuch."
Xiao Yan was a little surprised, but the smile on his face became more obvious.
"That's good, but it's not enough."
Meng Mingshu looked up at him eagerly: "Then you think about it."
"That face is too dissolute."
"You mean scratch his face?"
Xiao Yan: "Yeah."
Meng Mingshu nodded: "Okay."
"Besides that, he is also as mute as Xie Zhiwan."
If she is poisoned and rendered mute, there will be no chance to ruin Meng Mingshu's reputation.
Meng Mingshu nodded again.
Xiao Yan asked again: "How long do you plan to play with them?"
Meng Mingshu thought about it and felt uncomfortable having such a person around her all the time, but the bullying she had suffered at the hands of Xie Yuan's siblings was still fresh in her mind.
"Kill him when we get to the capital."
The capital is not Chongzhou Prefecture, and the situation is complicated.
Meng Mingshu didn't want to leave any trouble behind.
Xie Zhiwan and her brother were not innocent. If she and Tuan'er had not been lucky, they would have died by now.
Xie Yuan and Xie Zhiwan walked all the way to the capital.
Anyway, with Tuan'er and the injured patient Xiao Yan there, the carriage can't go too fast.
"good."
"If you still want to play, you can stay. There are people watching over them, so they can't make any waves."
Meng Mingshu shook her head: "No, kill him before reaching the capital. He cannot stay here for long."
————
It took Meng Mingshu and Xiao Yan more than a month to reach the capital.
Meng Mingshu was a little dazed when she returned to the familiar place in her previous life.
Everything is different from the previous life.
At the end of her previous life, she was alone in the capital.
The daughter died, and Xiao Yan, his mother and sisters were all gone.
She and Xiao Yan had no children, even though Xiao Yan had arranged everything for her before his death.
But Meng Mingshu no longer had any hope of survival.
But now everything is different.
Xiao Yan was beside her, and Tuan'er was in her arms.
My mother and sister didn't die either.
She has also dealt with enemies like Xie Zhiwan and his sister.
Now Meng Mingshu's only wish is to marry Xiao Yan legally.
It was already evening when they arrived in the capital.
I originally thought that I could only meet the emperor the next day.
But Xiao Yan was summoned by the emperor almost as soon as he landed.
"His Majesty said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go alone."
Xiao Yan frowned.
But he is not the one sitting on the throne now.
Xiao Yan could only turn around and touch Meng Mingshu's head to comfort her:
"You guys take a rest first, no need to wait for me."
Meng Mingshu nodded: "Okay."
Although Meng Mingshu was somewhat concerned about the emperor's attitude.
But she was too tired.
After such a long journey, Meng Mingshu now just wants to find a bed to sleep on.
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
"My dear..."
"Is His Highness back?"
The little palace maid shook her head.
Meng Mingshu bent down and kissed Tuan'er who was still sleeping, and asked someone to come in to wash and dress.
"Sir, your grandmother requests an audience."
"Please come in."
Coming with Old Madam Lin was my aunt-in-law, Mrs. Wu.
"Shu'er."
Madam Lin got straight to the point: "I have something to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared."
"Your Majesty granted the Crown Prince a marriage yesterday. The eldest daughter of the Zhao family is his."
Mrs. Lin also grew up in the capital before she got married, and she also had acquaintances in the Lin family.
She had received the news this morning.
Meng Mingshu was stunned, her heart suddenly gripped.
She just knew it.
Long before coming to the capital, Xie Zhiwan and Meng Yuan vowed that she would not be able to become the Crown Princess, and she already had a premonition.
Your Majesty may not accept her.
"Where is His Highness?"
She looked at Liu Zhongquan.
Liu Zhongquan looked embarrassed and lowered his voice:
"Your Highness, His Highness has been kneeling all night and is still kneeling in the Imperial Study."
Madam Lin took a breath, obviously surprised.
She was completely unaware of this news outside the palace.
I guess the palace is blocked.
She thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be willing.
After all, which man in the world doesn't want to be surrounded by women?
I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would insist on making Shu'er the principal wife.
Xiao Yan's attitude gave Meng Mingshu confidence.
She looked at Madam Lin:
"Grandma, tell me about the Zhao family..."
In her previous life, Meng Mingshu didn't care about the dignitaries in the capital at all and didn't know much about them.
"The Zhao family is the Imperial Concubine's family. The Imperial Concubine has no children, but she has a deep affection for Your Majesty..."
Madam Lin lowered her voice:
"Your Majesty is twenty years older than the Imperial Concubine. I think he was afraid that he would be ahead of her, so he arranged the marriage."
"The news of the arranged marriage has spread all over the capital, and the Zhao family's door is almost being trampled on."
"Everyone is vying to curry favor with the Zhao family."
As for Meng Mingshu, in the eyes of other people in the capital, she was just a woman from a small place.
Thanks to good luck, he was able to have the Crown Prince's daughter and was brought back to the capital.
No one thought Meng Mingshu could become the Crown Princess.
No one thought that Meng Mingshu could be liked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Madam Lin held Meng Mingshu's hand:
"Mingshu, you are a smart child. Even though you were once married to His Highness among the common people, you were his first wife."
"But in this situation, you will most likely have to take a step back."
Wu also carefully comforted her: "Yes, my lady, I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that you were the reincarnation of the real phoenix in the sky, and your fate was indescribable.
That Zhao is far inferior to you; she is not even as good as a single hair of the Empress."
"Even if the Zhao family is temporarily proud now, it doesn't matter. A fake phoenix will never be able to defeat a real phoenix.
All you have to do next is to capture His Highness's heart and conceive His Highness's child as soon as possible, and then the Zhao family won't be a problem..."
In fact, in the eyes of Mrs. Wu and Old Lady Lin, the prince's concubine is something that many nobles in the capital can only dream of but cannot reach.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a step to heaven.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne one day, she will at least be a noble concubine. What an honor that will be.
The Zhao family is the same now, with a constant stream of visitors.
Even members of the royal family couldn't help but humble themselves and come to give gifts.
The backers behind Miss Zhao are the emperor and the imperial concubine.
My grandmother and the others all felt that the emperor was there.
She had to give in and let Miss Zhao become the Crown Princess.
Others probably think so too.
But Meng Mingshu firmly believed that Xiao Yan would not ask her to be his concubine.
"I believe in you, Your Highness."
…
Imperial study.
When Xiao Yan was half dead, the emperor just wanted him to cheer up.
But now Xiao Yan is better, he has people he cares about, and he also has a soft spot.
The emperor was not satisfied with this.
He was not afraid that Xiao Yan would commit suicide.
Naturally, you begin to take the lead.
"If that woman is a good one, I will accept it."
"But she can abandon her husband and daughter, how can she be a good person?"
"If I can abandon you once today, I can abandon you a second time tomorrow."
"You think she is coaxing you and being with you now because she really likes you."
"Believe it or not, if you didn't have the throne and were demoted to a commoner, that woman would run away faster than anyone else."
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, but still spoke:
"I don't believe it."
The emperor laughed angrily.
"You say you don't believe it, but I'm afraid you don't have the confidence in your heart."
"Well, let me make a bet with you."
"If you win the bet, I will agree to withdraw my order. If you lose, Meng will become my concubine."
The emperor believed that a woman like Meng Mingshu would not be able to withstand his test and would be exposed at the slightest provocation.
