Chapter 211 The Crown Prince Gets Tricked, the Green Tea Girl Gets a Cheat Code!

There was a time when Meng Yanzhi did indeed think about seducing Xiao Ce and misled him, so she herself knows that it is really unkind of her to have fallen in love with Xiao Xingyuan now!

"Why do you need to apologize?"

"But Rouge, didn't you say you wanted freedom?"

"Where is freedom in the palace?"

Xiao Ce took a deep breath, and each word he uttered became somewhat difficult.

"If I'm with the person I love, I don't have to give up my freedom."

Meng Yanzhi dared not look into Xiao Ce's eyes again, and spoke firm words in a soft voice.

As for her plans with Xiao Xingyuan, it was really not something she could tell Xiao Ce at this time.

As expected, Xiao Ce's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. He looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief, then let out a long sigh, turned around, and walked outside.

He had barely left when Qingdao knelt before Meng Yanzhi: "Miss, you scared me to death! What would I do if anything happened to you!"

"I know what I'm doing."

"I only ate a few bites, it's nothing serious."

“Mingchu, she won’t really kill me.”

When Meng Yanzhi mentioned the early Ming Dynasty, she smiled gently.

Before she could finish speaking, Mingchu rushed in and threw herself at Meng Yanzhi: "Miss, Miss, let me see how you are! Are you alright? How could you really eat that? You scared me to death! I even left you a note!"

"I'm fine. I know you won't kill me, but how can it be realistic if I don't eat it? Don't you think so?" Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, took the handkerchief beside her, and tenderly wiped away Mingchu's tears: "You've really suffered too much these past few days!"

Upon hearing this, Qingdao understood. The master and servant had never fallen out; to put it bluntly, they had always been cooperating!

Suddenly, Qingdao remembered what she had said earlier, her eyebrows furrowing tightly before she spoke, "Why didn't you tell me, Miss? How embarrassing!"

"What's embarrassing? She can't hear what you're saying behind her back." Meng Yanzhi smiled lightly, but still coughed. "It's alright, I'm alright. Mingchu, go back and live a good life with the Crown Prince. You'll definitely get a virtuous and generous Crown Princess in the future, and then you won't have to be afraid anymore."

"Miss, if possible, Mingchu really wants to come back to your side."

"I regret it."

Ming Chu lowered his eyes, held Meng Yanzhi's hand, and sighed helplessly.

Seeing Mingchu's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and then asked, "What's wrong? Has the Crown Prince been treating you badly?"

"The Crown Prince treated me very well, but after I separated from Miss, I realized how much I couldn't live without her. I think about the time we spent together almost every day!"

"Miss, I miss you so much."

Mingchu took Meng Yanzhi's hand and gently placed it on his face, rubbing it softly, like a kitten that hadn't seen its owner for a long time, looking utterly pitiful.

Seeing this, Qingdao didn't say anything more and turned to walk outside.

Only the two of them remained in the room.

Mingchu stared at Meng Yanzhi with pleading eyes: "Miss, you've made such a scene, how are you going to clean up this mess? The master and madam won't let you off easily, and even the eldest young master probably won't forgive you so easily!"

"So what?"

"Didn't they treat me the same way when I did nothing?"

Meng Yanzhi gave a cold snort and just stared at Ming Chu.

She gently wiped away Mingchu's tears, then said softly, "We've been through this together. Since joining the Meng family, we've suffered so much injustice and humiliation. Don't you hate us at all?"

"I hate it!" Mingchu gripped Meng Yanzhi's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. "I hate it to the core!"

That's right, how can one truly not hate?

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently: "This is only the first step. Alright, you should go back now. You are no longer my servant. You are the Crown Prince's wife. You must be careful with your words and deeds and live a good life. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne and becomes His Majesty, you will finally get ahead and your life will be easier."

“Miss…” Mingchu leaned against Meng Yanzhi, her eyes brimming with tears, “I can’t bear to part with you!”

Meng Yanzhi nodded gently: "I know, but you still have to go back, you always have to go back."

"yes."

Mingchu nodded, got up, knelt down, kowtowed to Meng Yanzhi, then turned around and strode outside.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Ce grabbed Ming Chu's wrist and asked, "Did you already know about Meng Yanzhi and His Majesty's affair?"

"What is it?" Ming Chu looked at Xiao Ce with a confused and incredulous expression. "This concubine does not know. What is the Crown Prince talking about?"

Seeing Mingchu's expression, Xiao Ce immediately realized that he had been too agitated. He quickly released Mingchu's hand and said calmly, "It's nothing. I just feel that His Majesty is being too nice to Meng Yanzhi. I wanted to ask you if you know what's going on?"

"I don't know what's going on either, but Miss said it's because people enjoy the food, so they naturally like the chef more." Ming Chu strictly followed Meng Yanzhi's instructions.

They were terrified that if they said even the slightest mistake, they would be doomed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce suddenly smiled, then put his arm around Ming Chu's shoulder, hugged her, and said, "You're right, Rouge's cooking is excellent. Who wouldn't like her food?"

Even Xiao Ce liked it very much.

"You two did a really good job working together this time."

"But don't forget, you are a lonely person."

Xiao Ce hooked Ming Chu's chin and looked at her very seriously.

"I know in my heart that if it weren't for the Second Miss's aggressive behavior, I wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on her. She's really bullying me too much." Ming Chu lowered her eyes, and tears fell.

She was already quite beautiful, and her crying made her even more endearing, so Xiao Ce swallowed all his words, gently touched her cheek, and ordered her to go back.

The more this happened, the more Mingchu admired Meng Yanzhi. Meng Yanzhi had already thought of these things before the plan even started, so she directly told Mingchu how to deal with it.

Soon, the Meng family finally saw off the important guests and things calmed down.

Meng's father was alone in his study when he belatedly realized what had happened, and so he stormed into Meng Yanzhi's courtyard.
