Chapter 299 Assassination? This couldn't be more fake!

Ling Xiao had no desire to meddle in other people's business, but the current situation made it impossible for him to ignore it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get involved, since he was in the thick of it all!

Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Xiao Xingyuan's face changed, and then he said, "Is there something you're hiding from me? I've noticed you've been acting evasively lately. Tell me, what's going on?"

"No, really no." Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled at Xiao Xingyuan.

There's definitely something wrong!

Meng Yanzhi was out eating, drinking, and having fun, and she was extremely happy. She even remembered to buy some cute little things for Aman.

Zang Shui had basically been following Meng Yanzhi the whole time, so he really found it hard to believe that this sunny and cheerful little girl in front of him was actually the Empress.

Thinking of his own Empress, Cang Shui was certain that Xiao Xingyuan must really love Meng Yanzhi, otherwise he wouldn't have raised such a radiant young girl.

When Zhao Bailu heard that Meng Yanzhi had left the palace, she was overjoyed and rushed over: "Yanzhi!"

"Bai Lu? Shouldn't you be at home resting during your pregnancy? Why are you out here?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhao Bai Lu with a smile, took her hand, and looked her over carefully: "Hmm, you're not showing yet!"

Zhao Bailu lowered her head shyly and said softly, "The baby is not even three months old yet, so we can't tell anything. Yanzhi, shall we go to the estate to play? It's not interesting here, let's go!"

It had been a long time since the two of them had gotten together for a proper chat, so Meng Yanzhi missed Zhao Bailu very much. She nodded, and the two of them got into the carriage together and headed towards the manor outside the city.

Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some pity: "I heard about what happened yesterday. How could that little princess of Canglan be so shameless, offering herself up in front of so many people?"

"She's not shameless, she's after me."

"She is Consort Liu."

Meng Yanzhi covered her mouth and chuckled, then patted Zhao Bailu's head.

What?

Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "What are you saying? Is it true or not? Is this real?"

"It's true."

"Genuine or genuine."

"This person doesn't seem to have any good intentions; he's probably here to teach me a lesson!"

Meng Yanzhi snorted, her tone tinged with disdain!

"No, this person absolutely cannot enter the palace!"

"If it were just you, that would be one thing, but there's still Aman in the palace. What if she bullies Aman or hurts Aman?"

Zhao Bailu was getting anxious, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Meng Yanzhi.

"I'm going to kill her!"

Zhao Bailu was born into a military family, so when faced with a problem she couldn't solve, she wanted to eliminate the person!

Seeing that Zhao Bailu genuinely cared for her, Meng Yanzhi felt a surge of relief. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Oh no! An assassin!"

"Protect the Empress!"

Qingdao suddenly let out a low shout, then drew his short sword and charged out!

Sitting in the car, Meng Yanzhi grabbed Zhao Bailu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Qingdao alone is enough!"

The reason she dared to take Qingdao out was because Meng Yanzhi had absolute faith in Qingdao.

Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some worry: "Your Highness, if... if anything happens to you..."

"I'll be fine." Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly as she looked at her. "Don't worry."

Outside, Qingdao faced more than a dozen men in black, her face terribly grim. She took the initiative and charged directly at them.

Shouts of fighting and killing rose and fell outside, and soon a red figure descended from the sky to help.

When Meng Yanzhi saw the red figure, her expression changed: "It's Zang Shui."

"What dirty water?" Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some surprise.

Meng Yanzhi smiled and then said, "It's not dirty water, it's hidden water, it's from the crown prince of Canglan Kingdom."

The noise outside quickly subsided, and then Cang Shui opened the door and walked in, sitting down next to Meng Yanzhi with a grin: "Your Highness, I saved you!"

"Without you, this assassination attempt wouldn't have happened, would it?"

"The hero saves the damsel in distress trope is so clichéd, get out of here."

Meng Yanzhi remained expressionless, her face filled with disgust and anger.

What's the meaning?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bailu understood what was happening. She grabbed Zang Shui's wrist, gritted her teeth, and glared at him: "Did you orchestrate this whole thing?"

Zang Shui originally came to claim credit, but he never expected to end up taking the blame.

His eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and he looked at Zhao Bailu and Meng Yanzhi with a wronged expression: "I'm innocent! I really didn't do it, it wasn't me!"

"Whether it was you or not, I will find out for myself."

"Shut your mouth and get out of here! You're not welcome in my carriage!"

After saying that, Meng Yanzhi turned her face away and refused to look at him again.

After hearing this, Cang Shui showed no intention of getting off the carriage. He simply sat there silently, looking at Meng Yanzhi with a pitiful expression.

Seeing him like this, Meng Yanzhi's eyebrows furrowed tightly, but she still told them to hurry up and go to the manor, not wanting such a small matter to affect her mood.

After arriving at the estate, Meng Yanzhi spoke again, "Can you go back now?"

"Your Majesty, my whole body aches. I did this to protect you. Isn't it too cruel of you to just let me go like this?" Cang Shui clutched her arm and looked pitifully at Meng Yanzhi.

He was handsome and knew how to act cute, so even Meng Yanzhi was somewhat at a loss with him.

Left with no other choice, Meng Yanzhi could only coldly accept that he would come into the manor with her.

Meng Yanzhi instructed her servants to prepare some ingredients, wanting to cook more delicious food for Zhao Bailu.

She looked at Zhao Bailu with some concern: "You've lost a lot of weight. Have you not been eating well lately?"

"I don't know why, but I keep vomiting everything I eat, and it's really uncomfortable." Zhao Bailu sighed helplessly, "Yanzhi, I feel uncomfortable whenever I see food now."

Seeing Zhao Bailu's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly and then gently patted her head: "It's normal to be like this when you're pregnant, but you'll get better after these few months. Don't worry, I'll make you something appetizing."

"Yanzhi, sob sob, you're so good to me, I love you!" Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi pitifully and hugged her gently: "Yanzhi, I want to eat the jujube cake you make now, I haven't had it in so long."
