Chapter 198 Consort Liu is actually a princess of Canglan Kingdom!

Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan in disbelief. She had never imagined that Xiao Xingyuan would make such a promise. After all, when she met Xiao Xingyuan, he was already the emperor and had long enjoyed the life of having three palaces and six courtyards.

It is absolutely impossible for an emperor to be devoted to only one person!

Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath and then said softly, "Your Majesty doesn't need to make me happy. Actually, I don't care about these things much!"

"Are you really not concerned?" Xiao Xingyuan stepped forward, took Meng Yanzhi's hand, and looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "Are you indifferent to the women beside me or to me?"

Looking at Xiao Xingyuan's dissatisfied and aggrieved expression, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently: "No, it's not that. I just don't care about your promises, especially those in this regard, because we both know it's impossible!"

“Even ordinary men have three wives and four concubines, let alone an emperor? Even if you stop being emperor, you'll still be a wealthy young master. How could you possibly only have me by your side?” Meng Yanzhi lowered her eyes: “I know I can’t be too stingy, so I…”

"Yan Zhi, I know you don't believe any of this now, but I will make you believe it!" Xiao Xingyuan gently kissed Meng Yan Zhi: "I will appease Consort Ling, but I will absolutely not touch her. Do you believe me?"

Meng Yanzhi didn't know whether she should believe it or not, but looking at Xiao Xingyuan's appearance, she took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will believe whatever you say."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xingyuan realized that Meng Yanzhi probably hadn't believed a single word he said!

However, Xiao Xingyuan was not in a hurry. He only needed to know that Meng Yanzhi believed in and liked him. As for other things, he would show Meng Yanzhi his feelings through his actions.

"Alright, you go about your business. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi with some reluctance.

In fact, before meeting Meng Yanzhi, Xiao Xingyuan had always been a conscientious emperor. But now, he sometimes secretly thinks that it would be better if he were just an ordinary person instead of an emperor. He is increasingly tired of the deep palace and hates his current life.

For the sake of the vast empire, one must pretend even if one dislikes it; for the sake of the people, one must endure even if one likes it—it is simply an immense torment.

Watching Xiao Xingyuan stride away, Meng Yanzhi touched the spot he had kissed, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more. She simply lowered her head and continued with her work. After cleaning up the things on the table, when Meng Yanzhi walked out of the Imperial Study, there was no trace of the previous deep affection between them.

Before she even reached the imperial kitchen, a young eunuch accidentally bumped into Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi knew what was going on just by looking at the little eunuch's eyes. She smiled and nodded to him, "I agree."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little eunuch quickly handed her two land deeds, then turned around and disappeared from Meng Yanzhi's sight.

Meng Yanzhi returned to her room and carefully examined the land deed in her hand. It was indeed the best place, the best manor. It seemed that the Jade Prince was really willing to spend money for Consort Liu.

She thought for a moment, then walked toward Hanliu Palace.

Speaking of which, ever since Consort Liu went mad, no one has set foot here anymore, leaving only a palace maid and two eunuchs to serve her.

Upon seeing Meng Yanzhi approach, the eunuchs and palace maids all changed their expressions. After bowing, they didn't say anything else and simply turned around to do what they needed to do.

Everyone knows that Consort Liu has no future in the harem, so who would bother to pay attention to her?

Meng Yanzhi was used to the sycophancy and backstabbing in the palace, so she didn't find anything special about it and just kept walking inside.

When Meng Yanzhi saw Consort Liu, she noticed that things were different now. Consort Liu used to be high and mighty and very noble, but now she was dressed in tattered clothes and her hair was a mess.

Meng Yanzhi walked over, and Consort Liu immediately rushed over, knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects. Your Majesty, you have finally come to find me. I have missed you so much."

Well……

It seems that even if this person is crazy, the only person he cares about is Xiao Xingyuan.

Thinking of this, Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly, then gently patted her shoulder: "Look carefully, I am not the emperor, I am Meng Yanzhi."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please don't ignore me, Your Majesty."

"Meng Yanzhi, I will never provoke her again. If Your Majesty is still angry, I will go and apologize to her, okay?"

Consort Liu stared longingly at Meng Yanzhi, holding her hand, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing Consort Liu like this, Meng Yanzhi finally understood. This Consort Liu didn't actually like power and wealth; she must genuinely love Xiao Xingyuan. It's a pity she ruined herself like this.

When Meng Yanzhi saw Consort Liu, she knew how tragic it was to be the emperor's woman.

She sighed, then pulled Consort Liu to sit on a chair beside her, gently wiping her dirty cheeks: "You only think of His Majesty, have you ever thought of your brother?"

"Brother? What brother?"

"I have no brother! I don't have any brother at all!"

Consort Liu, holding Meng Yanzhi's hand, seemed to have a moment of clarity.

"Pretty sister, did you come to save me? Please take me to see His Majesty."

"I know Your Majesty is angry, but I will apologize to Your Majesty!"

As Liu Fei spoke, she started crying again. She looked just like a little child.

Meng Yanzhi felt no sympathy for Consort Liu, only curiosity: "You are clearly the Jade Prince's sister, so why do you say you have no brother? If you tell me, I will take you to see His Majesty, okay?"

"I am not the Jade King's sister. What is he that he is, that he is not worthy to be my brother?"

"I am the princess of Canglan Kingdom!"

Consort Liu's aura suddenly became sharp. She stood up and pointed at Meng Yanzhi.

"You lowly servant, you've seen me, the princess, why don't you kneel down!"

Meng Yanzhi had considered that Consort Liu's identity was unusual, but she never expected it to be this unusual.

She coughed, knelt on the ground, and frowned as she looked at Consort Liu: "This humble woman greets Your Highness!"

"No, I am not a princess!"

"I am the Imperial Concubine, I am Consort Liu!"

"I'll be fine, I'll promise you anything, just don't take me away!"

"ah!"
