Chapter 171 It's me who's ashamed, not you.

Ling Xiao immediately nodded: "I know you shouldn't be here, but you just had to come back. I know about Meng Yanzhi! My divination has never been wrong. You are His Majesty's destined one. You will continue his life and give birth to his child."

“But… I will not marry the emperor.” Meng Yanzhi looked at Ling Xiao very seriously.

Ling Xiao nodded: "Xiao Xingyuan is a star of emperors, and so is Xiao Ce. Moreover, Xiao Xingyuan's star of emperors has dimmed, so he won't be an emperor forever. Yan Zhi, do you understand what I mean?"

He's not going to be emperor anymore?

Meng Yanzhi looked at Ling Xiao, thought for a moment, and then picked up her wine cup and took a sip.

Before long, the whole jar was gone. Meng Yanzhi suddenly felt that the wine was a bit intoxicating. She gave Ling Xiao a silly smile and then collapsed onto the table.

This...this?

Ling Xiao looked at Meng Yanzhi in shock and disbelief. He never expected that this woman would be so careless, drinking too much fruit wine.

What should we do?

Xiao Xingyuan walked over and saw Meng Yanzhi slumped on the table. He frowned and looked at Ling Xiao: "You gave her alcohol?"

"Hmm, just a little bit of plum wine, what is she doing?"

"She can't drink alcohol."

Xiao Xingyuan had no choice but to step forward with practiced ease, pick the person up horizontally, and gently place them on the table.

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's familiar demeanor, Ling Xiao understood perfectly. He smiled gently and said, "The sins I committed back then can be considered atonement!"

After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around and walked outside.

"Your Majesty! Do you really not want to be emperor anymore?"

Meng Yanzhi opened her eyes groggily and grabbed Xiao Xingyuan's hand, placing it on her chest.

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to do this?"

Xiao Xingyuan knew that Meng Yanzhi was definitely drunk, which was why she said such outrageous things.

He touched Meng Yanzhi's cheek: "I know you don't like me being the emperor."

"How could you be so stupid?"

"That's the throne, you know."

Meng Yanzhi sat up unsteadily, staring longingly at Xiao Xingyuan, and smiled.

She leaned against Xiao Xingyuan: "Ling Xiao said I will have your child. Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Actually, I want a daughter, a daughter who looks exactly like me, but I'm pregnant and I don't know if I'll be able to have children in the future." Meng Yanzhi said, then laughed out loud: "If it's a boy, that's fine too, as handsome as you, I'd be willing too."

"Ah Yuan, I really want to... I've fallen in love with you." As Meng Yanzhi spoke, she drifted off to sleep.

Meng Yanzhi spoke her last words very softly, but Xiao Xingyuan still heard them. He felt as if countless fireworks were exploding in his mind, and all that remained in his heart was joy.

The Crown Prince's Residence.

Xiao Ce looked at Ming Chu kneeling in front of him, his feelings were complicated. Although he had promised Meng Yanzhi, he really did not expect that the person would be sent over so quickly.

"This servant knows that Your Highness does not like this servant. This servant only asks to stay by His Highness's side and serve him, so that I can see Your Highness every day. That is enough." Ming Chu saw the complicated look in Xiao Ce's eyes and knew that he had not taken her in voluntarily.

Xiao Ce looked at Ming Chu very seriously: "I promised your young lady that I would give you the position of a concubine. If one day I really inherit the throne, I will also give you the position of a concubine. But you should know that I will not spend too much time on you, but I will treat you well and will not wrong you."

"Your Highness?" Mingchu looked at Xiao Ce in disbelief, taking a deep breath: "Just for Miss, Your Highness is willing to wrong yourself like this?"

“It’s not for your young lady, it’s for the world, for the people’s livelihood. Your young lady has made a condition that I cannot refuse.”

"You should be grateful and fortunate to have such a devoted lady who is so devoted to you."

After saying this, Xiao Ce got up and walked outside.

"Clean up Linghuan Pavilion and make it available for Madam Ming."

Xiao Ce walked to the door and gave an instruction.

Shuishan immediately realized what was happening, walked over, and looked at Mingchu with a smile: "Madam, this way please."

Seeing this, Mingchu immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly followed Shuishan outside.

The next day, early morning.

When Meng Yanzhi opened her eyes, she saw the letter sent by Mingchu. Knowing that she was alright, Meng Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned over to get out of bed, but unexpectedly found that there was another person next to her, Xiao Xingyuan!

Meng Yanzhi stopped what she was doing, gently touched Xiao Xingyuan's lips, and couldn't resist kissing him again.

"Are you awake?"

Xiao Xingyuan opened his eyes and stared straight at Meng Yanzhi.

"Do you remember what you said last night?"

Xiao Xingyuan then put his arm around Meng Yanzhi's waist and asked her a question.

What did you say last night?

Meng Yanzhi's head was spinning, and she looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "Your Majesty, I drank too much last night, and I really don't remember anything."

"You said you like A-Yuan." Xiao Xingyuan stared intently at Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi immediately lowered her head and buried it in Xiao Xingyuan's chest, feeling helpless.

Although she was drunk, she certainly remembered what she said. She deliberately denied it, but she never expected that Xiao Xingyuan would hold onto it so firmly.

"Rouge, look at me, are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Xingyuan squeezed Meng Yanzhi's shoulder, lifted her chin, and made her look at him.

"Yes, I like A Yuan, but Meng Yanzhi doesn't like His Majesty."

Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath and spoke her mind directly.

"With your words, from now on there will only be A-Yuan in this world, your A-Yuan alone."

"What about Consort Liu and the others?!"

Meng Yanzhi suddenly woke up, quickly sat up, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Well……

Xiao Xingyuan thought the two of them would be very affectionate, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the first person Meng Yanzhi thought of was Consort Liu and the others.

"I will make proper arrangements."

"get up."

Xiao Xingyuan pushed Meng Yanzhi away, got up and started tidying himself up; he was clearly angry.

Meng Yanzhi was slow to realize that her words at this time were indeed somewhat of a downer.

She patted her mouth shyly, then leaned forward to help Xiao Xingyuan get dressed.

"Your Majesty, I won't say these things again, but be careful when you go out, don't let anyone see you." Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan expectantly: "After all, you are still His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan was even more speechless: "What, am I so shameful that I can't be seen in public?"

"It's not that His Majesty is ashamed, it's that I am ashamed!"
