Chapter 145 The Unexpected Visit of the Imperial Concubine

Mingchu nodded without hesitation: "No matter what we do, no matter what our status is, I don't care. I just feel that he is really lonely standing at the top of the world. Even if I am humble, I want to keep him company!"

"Miss, I know this is wishful thinking. You asked me, and I don't want to lie, but I don't want to force you either. Please forget about it after you hear it. I actually really enjoy spending time with you." Mingchu smiled and leaned against Meng Yanzhi, tears inadvertently streaming down her face.

Meng Yanzhi truly did not expect that her simple act of sending Ming Chu to the Crown Prince's residence for a few days would lead to such a commotion.

this……

Seeing Mingchu like this, Meng Yanzhi knew that he was most likely truly in love. Changing his mind at this point would be incredibly difficult, but what about Xiao Ce…

She really didn't know what Xiao Ce was thinking or what he had said to Ming Chu, but she still gently patted Ming Chu's head: "If you feel that being with him is happiness, then don't worry, I will definitely find a way, I will definitely fulfill your wish!"

After speaking, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, but her eyes held an indescribable coldness and determination.

"Miss, I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

"Silly girl, I won't make things difficult for you."

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently; she had long regarded Mingchu as her own younger sister!

"It's good if one of us is happy."

Even if only one person can live the life they truly want, that would be good.

Mingchu suddenly burst into tears, hugging Meng Yanzhi tightly and sobbing, "Miss, I'm so sorry!"

"Silly girl, why are you apologizing!" Meng Yanzhi chuckled, patted Mingchu's head, and said softly, "When the Crown Prince returns, I'll talk to him about this. If that doesn't work, I'll naturally think of other ways. I'll definitely make sure you get what you want!"

"Really? Miss, are you serious?" Mingchu's eyes immediately brightened, filled with anticipation!

She had just said she wouldn't force it, but in reality, she was already incredibly excited. However, Meng Yanzhi wasn't angry; she just nodded gently and said, "I will definitely do my best."

"What is it that requires your best effort?" Consort Liu's teasing voice came, followed by Consort Liu walking in with precious medicinal herbs. She looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile: "I heard you were sick, so I came to see you. Why do you look so unwell?"

Meng Yanzhi was utterly flattered and hurriedly stood up, knelt down and bowed: "This humble woman greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort!"

"Why are you so agitated? Get up, get up! You're still sick, you need to rest and take care of yourself, okay?"

Consort Liu quickly helped the woman up, gently took her hand, and sat down on the bed together.

"Your Majesty flatters me. I'm actually fine; it's just that I'm not feeling well," Meng Yanzhi said, looking down at Consort Liu with some embarrassment.

In fact, every time Meng Yanzhi faced Consort Liu's concern, she felt very uncomfortable. She always felt that it was a very bad thing that she had kept her relationship with Xiao Xingyuan a secret from her.

After all, she knew very well that Consort Liu's kindness to her was genuine, but unfortunately... she just couldn't say it.

"Miss Meng is truly precious. Her illness has caused the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine great worry. All the medicines from the Imperial Hospital have been moved to Miss Meng's room. Miss Meng, you must cheer up and get better soon." Fu Ling looked at Meng Yan Zhi's appearance and sneered, starting to speak sarcastically.

The atmosphere in the room was initially quite pleasant, but her words made everyone feel awkward, especially Consort Liu, who never expected her people to be so inconsiderate!

Her expression immediately changed, and she shouted sternly, "Insolence! What nonsense are you spouting? Get out!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Sister Fuling probably didn't mean any harm." Meng Yanzhi forced a smile and awkwardly tried to smooth things over.

She didn't want to upset Consort Liu because of her own affairs, and she also knew very well that Xiao Xingyuan's commotion was probably...

Their affair is probably going to be hard to keep secret any longer.

"Enough, all of you leave. I have something to say to Rouge alone." Consort Liu waved her hand dismissively, sending everyone out of the room.

Before leaving, Fuling didn't forget to give Meng Yanzhi a fierce glare.

After they all left, Consort Liu smiled gently, took Meng Yanzhi's hand, and said softly, "It's all my fault for not disciplining my servants properly, which has caused you to suffer!"

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. It's my fault, I..." Meng Yanzhi looked at Consort Liu and really didn't know how to say it without hurting her.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's troubled expression, Consort Liu smiled and said calmly, "Actually, it's not a big deal. The harem is like this; one more or one less person doesn't matter. If you really have this intention, I can help you. I can see the Emperor's feelings for you, and I know he likes you and wants you."

this……

Meng Yanzhi originally thought she had hidden herself very well, but she never expected that the Imperial Concubine would discover her so early.

She immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!"

"Get up quickly, you silly child. Why are you so scared? The fact that I'm telling you this proves that I don't care about these things at all."

"The number of people around the Emperor will only increase, so why should I care?"

"Now, I simply want to ask you, what are your thoughts?"

Consort Liu is currently most concerned about Meng Yanzhi's thoughts.

Meng Yanzhi truly hadn't expected that Consort Liu would be such a perceptive person.

She thought for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, what I am about to say is certainly treasonous, but I must say it: I do not wish to enter the palace!"

"What? You're unwilling?" Consort Liu looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief. "Why are you unwilling?"

Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Your Majesty and I have long been intimate, but Your Majesty has never had any intention of bestowing a title upon me. I am also unwilling to be confined to this harem. I only wish to spend my days in the palace peacefully, and after I turn twenty-five, I will take my reward money and leave the capital to a small town where no one knows me, and open my own restaurant. I have no other desires!"
