Chapter 141 Your Majesty, she doesn't love you!

Meng Yanzhi's voice was very gentle. She walked over, hugged the child, and smiled gently at the child's fair and tender appearance: "This is my first little brother. I'm so happy to see him!"

Aunt Chen got out of bed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "Miss, thank you. My son and I are all thanks to you for what we have today!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi hurriedly handed the child to the wet nurse beside her, then quickly helped her up, smiled gently, and said, "Auntie, you should rest well. You can take the child back in a little while. The rest is up to you. You should understand that you are a mother now, and you need to learn to protect your child!"

After saying this, Meng Yanzhi hugged Aunt Chen, gave her a large bag of silver, and then turned and strode outside.

When she returned to the palace, it was already noon. Meng Yanzhi had just stepped into her room when she was startled!

"Ling Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Meng Yanzhi was so frightened that she couldn't help but call out Ling Xiao's name.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's frightened expression, Ling Xiao smiled, then sensed the blood energy emanating from her. His smile froze: "You...where have you been?"

"go home."

Meng Yanzhi walked over and bowed to Ling Xiao.

"Is there something important that the Imperial Advisor has come to see me about?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at Ling Xiao with some impatience. She had been up all night and was exhausted. She didn't want to say anything and just wanted to sleep.

"You're covered in blood, what were you doing at home?"

Ling Xiao stood up, his eyebrows furrowed tightly as he looked at her.

This woman's destiny is extraordinary, and she has a great influence on Xiao Xingyuan and the entire Daqian Dynasty!

He needed to know what Meng Yanzhi's heart truly was.

Meng Yanzhi smiled and then said lightly, "It's nothing. I have a concubine at home who just gave birth to a younger brother for me. I went to help out and I'm tired."

"Then you should rest first." After saying that, Ling Xiao strode outside.

The Imperial Study.

Xiao Xingyuan looked at Ling Xiao with some impatience and said irritably, "Why have you been so free lately?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Meng is back! I heard there's a new little brother in the family!" Ling Xiao said with a smile to Xiao Xingyuan.

Xiao Xingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "If you have nothing to do, go and clean up the filth in the Imperial Observatory."

"His Majesty!"

Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Xingyuan helplessly.

"Your Majesty, have you thought about what you would do if you really had a child?"

"The current crown prince is so good, he has done nothing wrong. Would you depose him and let your own child take the throne?"

Ling Xiao walked over and sat down next to Xiao Xingyuan.

If an ordinary person had said these things, they would have been beheaded by now, but the one who said them was Ling Xiao.

Xiao Xingyuan frowned as he looked at him, then asked, "I won't have children, will I?"

"Not necessarily. If you stay with Meng Yanzhi, you will definitely have children, but Xiao Ce has the countenance of an emperor, so I'm afraid you won't have any."

"Your Majesty, even if you do have your own child, you probably cannot become emperor, otherwise it will affect the fate of the nation."

Ling Xiao sighed, paced around on the ground, and felt a surge of irritation.

"This divination is truly absurd. Does it mean you will only have daughters and no sons?"

Xiao Xingyuan glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Actually, it's not absurd, since he had no desire for the throne.

"Are you sure I won't die young?" Xiao Xingyuan suddenly asked.

Ling Xiao paused slightly, then took a few quick steps and walked towards Xiao Xingyuan.

"Something's not right with you. When I first told you about this, you said it didn't matter, but now you seem to care a lot about it. What's going on?"

"You like Meng Yanzhi, and you've started to feel attached to this world, haven't you?"

Ling Xiao was incredibly excited!

Seeing Ling Xiao's smug and excited expression, Xiao Xingyuan felt a wave of disgust and said irritably, "Didn't you already know about this?"

“I originally intended to bestow upon her the title of Empress, but she was unwilling.”

"She wants to open a tavern and wander the world, and I... want to accompany her!"

Ling Xiao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, never expecting that the mighty Emperor Xiao Xingyuan would actually want to wander the world with Meng Yanzhi.

Is this...is this reasonable?

Ling Xiao immediately began to calculate, trying to figure out what was going on.

But soon, he laughed.

"I didn't understand what this divination meant before, but now I do. It's probably because you lack ambition!"

"If you leave the palace, then all of this will fall into place naturally, but Your Majesty, are you really willing?"

Ling Xiao couldn't understand why Xiao Xingyuan, who was clearly a decisive and ruthless emperor, didn't like the throne.

"I am willing. The emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty should be the crown prince, so I should naturally abdicate and give way to a worthy successor."

Xiao Xingyuan was a person who believed in destiny. Because he knew early on that he would not live long, he never had any ambitions.

this……

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's expression, Ling Xiao took a deep breath and then said in a low voice, "A Yuan, I know that this throne was not what you wanted in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that I chose you by divination when I was seven years old, you wouldn't have been confined to this position for so many years. I have always felt sorry for you about this."

The reason why Ling Xiao was so good to Xiao Xingyuan and so loyal to him was because he felt really guilty.

Originally, Xiao Xingyuan could have lived a leisurely life, if only he had been ambitious, but unfortunately, he was not willing to do so.

"But you brought Meng Yanzhi to my side."

Xiao Xingyuan smiled gently and looked at Ling Xiao.

Laughing? Was he laughing?

Ling Xiao could hardly believe his eyes.

"I have already made up my mind. When the Crown Prince returns, I will give him this position, and I will leave the capital with Meng Yanzhi."

"When the time comes, give me a fake death potion!"

As Xiao Xingyuan spoke, his eyes became bright and sparkling.

"Wait a moment!"

"Your Majesty, no, now is not the time!"

"Besides, Meng Yanzhi doesn't like you either!"

With just that one sentence, Xiao Xingyuan calmed down.

Xiao Xingyuan's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he stared at him, before finally lowering his head to continue reading the memorial in his hand.

"No, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
