Meng Yanzhi in her previous life jumped into the water to save the Crown Prince, which resulted in her being unable to bear children for the rest of her life. However, she was robbed of the positio...
Chapter 312 Stop playing tricks, destiny? Bullshit destiny!
Kill him?
Will he die?
Meng Yanzhi's breath hitched, and she looked at Ling Xiao in shock: "How could this be? Didn't you say..."
"Actually, I don't know either." This was the first time Ling Xiao had spoken so softly in front of Meng Yanzhi. He sat quietly on the chair next to her and said, "I can't see anything, I can't see anything clearly, I don't know anything. It's all because of you. It was your appearance that messed everything up. If I had known it would be like this, I would have killed you from the beginning."
Well……
Meng Yanzhi originally thought this was a sure thing, but she never expected to receive such an answer.
She frowned and looked at Ling Xiao: "Didn't you sleep well last night, so you came here to cause trouble?"
"No, I'm just a little worried. I don't know what your future will be like, and I'm afraid you'll go down the wrong path." Ling Xiao always adheres to the principle of following fate in everything he does.
But now, he can no longer see destiny, so he has no idea what the future holds, nor what choices he should make right now.
"What does our future have to do with you?"
"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to bear all this? You think you're so great, but aren't you just as insignificant as the rest of us?"
"Fate is there, whether you see it or not, it's the same. But our destiny is in our own hands. We can choose the kind of life we want. It's not something you can control, nor are you responsible for it."
Meng Yanzhi rarely spoke so much to Ling Xiao at once. Deep down, she didn't really like him because he had a strong sense of superiority, as if he could be above everyone else.
But we are all just specks of dust in this world, so who is more noble than whom?
Even the Imperial Advisor is helpless in the face of destiny, isn't he?
this……
Looking at Meng Yanzhi and listening to what she said, Ling Xiao suddenly realized that he might have been too arrogant.
“You think Xiao Xingyuan became emperor because of you, but in fact, it was entirely his own choice. If he didn’t want to, he could have refused, he could have died, but he did neither. He chose to become emperor.”
"You think I'm with Xiao Xingyuan because of some bullshit destiny you mentioned, but the truth is, it's because I love him, it's because we love each other. Whether or not there's that destiny you mentioned, I would choose the person I love, and I would choose to fight alongside him."
"Put away your supernatural powers; we don't need them at all."
As Meng Yanzhi spoke, she became somewhat disgusted, even rolling her eyes at him before getting up and continuing with her own tasks.
this……
Ling Xiao had never heard such words in all his years of life.
He looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "You really think that way?"
"You're just a human being, yet you think you're some kind of god."
"funny."
Meng Yanzhi's mockery was undisguised, but it cured Ling Xiao's arrogance and anxiety.
He suddenly stood up and looked at Meng Yanzhi with a somewhat complicated expression, but he still smiled and said, "Although you are the only variable, you are a good person, and I hope the changes you bring will not be bad."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."
Meng Yanzhi stuffed all the pastries she had prepared into Ling Xiao's hands.
"Take these back with you, for Xiaoyue to eat."
Looking at the pastries in his arms, Ling Xiao frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "What, only Xiaoyue has pastries to eat, and I don't?"
"Yes, you can go back and eat slowly."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."
Meng Yanzhi didn't want to say a single unnecessary word to this fool.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's disgusted look, Ling Xiao had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Over here, Xiao Xingyuan told the Prime Minister and Xiao Ce about his upcoming visit to Canglan Kingdom, and the three of them stared at each other in the imperial study.
Especially Xiao Ce.
He looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a puzzled expression: "Why did Father suddenly decide to go there?"
"They came here to cause trouble and demonstrate, so we should naturally respond. Otherwise, they'll think we're easy targets, and what if a fight breaks out?"
After hearing this, Xiao Ce felt that there was some truth to it.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Then I will make arrangements to ensure the safety of Father and Mother."
The Prime Minister's expression became even more complicated: "Your Majesty, do you mean you don't want to fight?"
“What good would fighting do? Could we swallow up the Canglan Kingdom in one bite?” Xiao Xingyuan looked at the Prime Minister helplessly: “It’s not that I’m unwilling to fight, but if the losses outweigh the gains, it’s really unnecessary. It would be a waste of resources and manpower, and the people would suffer.”
Xiao Xingyuan used to care more about the mighty imperial power, but now that he is with Meng Yanzhi, he has become softer and more gentle, and has even begun to care about the people of the world.
When the Prime Minister heard Xiao Xingyuan say such words, he was so pleased that he almost burst into tears.
He looked at Xiao Xingyuan in disbelief, then said, "Your Majesty has finally thought of this! Your Majesty is wise!"
This was the first time Xiao Xingyuan had seen the Prime Minister so vividly portrayed in front of him. He smiled and then said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled. The Crown Prince will oversee the country, and the Prime Minister will act as regent. I will take the Empress and the Princess to investigate the situation!"
"yes!"
The Prime Minister and Xiao Ce knelt on the ground, speaking in unison, clearly showing their support for the decision.
Post station.
Zang Shui was stunned when he received the news. He was thinking about how to cause trouble, but he never expected that Xiao Xingyuan would make the first move.
He was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on? What exactly is going on?"
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Are we really going back right away?"
Lord Wang looked at Cang Shui with a worried expression. They hadn't achieved their goal at all, and now they were going back like this...
"We certainly can't refuse his request to go to Canglan Kingdom, but why so suddenly?"
"Could it be... that there's something else we don't know?"
Cang Shui frowned, not understanding why Xiao Xingyuan, who had been in a standoff with her just moments before, had suddenly taken a different approach.
"Could it be that the princess said something in the harem?" Lord Wang stared at Cangshui with suspicion and whispered his question.
That's probably the only possibility!
He was quite angry and sent a letter to the palace to confront Consort Huan.
Consort Huan was exhausted from all the trouble. When she saw Cang Shui coming, she thought it was her powerful backer and hurriedly went to greet him.
