Chapter 66 Daring Not to Marry Another

Meng Yanzhi has lived two lives, but she still can't figure out what Xiao Xingyuan really means. The Meng family's affairs were originally very simple; a single sentence could have wiped them out. But Xiao Xingyuan deliberately focused on the big picture and let the small details go, as if he was intentionally letting the Meng family off the hook. But why?

Meng Yanzhi really couldn't understand what it was about the Meng family that made Xiao Xingyuan so wary.

In her previous life, although she didn't spend much time in the Meng family, she knew that Meng's father had always been frustrated and unsuccessful. If it weren't for Meng Anfeng's success and her being the Crown Prince's savior, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep his current sinecure in the Ministry of War.

It seems the key to the problem isn't with Meng's father at all, but with Meng Anfeng. Xiao Xingyuan saw Meng Anfeng's potential, so he was willing to let the Meng family off the hook for his sake.

Meng Yanzhi tossed and turned, still unable to figure it out, but she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open and soon fell asleep. As soon as she fell asleep, she felt someone next to her. The moment she opened her eyes, the scissors in her hand had already stabbed her.

"you!"

The guard grunted and glared at Meng Yanzhi through gritted teeth.

He wasn't unable to dodge; he never even intended to dodge. The main reason was that he didn't expect Meng Yanzhi to be asleep while holding scissors.

"Who are you?"

Meng Yanzhi felt that the voice was very familiar, so she lowered her voice and asked.

"Put the scissors down first."

The guard grunted and glared at Meng Yanzhi through gritted teeth.

Meng Yanzhi belatedly realized what had happened and hurriedly let go of his hand. Then, blushing with embarrassment, she whispered, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

"His Majesty wishes to see you."

Before she could finish speaking, she and her blanket were hoisted up. Before she could even see how she got out, Meng Yanzhi felt as if she were flying.

Before long, she landed on the ground again. In an empty house not far from the Meng family, Meng Yanzhi saw Xiao Xingyuan, the emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Xingyuan was dressed in white, which made him look less like an emperor and more approachable.

Unfortunately, Meng Yanzhi was only nervous, not relaxed. She knelt on the ground and dared not utter a single word.

"come over."

Xiao Xingyuan raised his hand and said something to Meng Yanzhi.

What?

Meng Yanzhi even thought she might have misheard. She subconsciously looked up and met Xiao Xingyuan's dark eyes. She could only obediently crawl forward and kneel down beside Xiao Xingyuan.

"His Majesty?"

Meng Yanzhi was completely bewildered, not understanding why Xiao Xingyuan would use such a method to find her in the middle of the night.

Before Meng Yanzhi could react, Xiao Xingyuan suddenly grabbed her by the neck: "You want to marry Zhao Dongzhi?"

"This humble woman dares not."

Meng Yanzhi shook her head repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I am already Your Majesty's woman, so naturally I dare not marry another."

Meng Yanzhi felt the hand on her neck loosen for a moment, and then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her previous guess was correct: even if the emperor's women did not enter the palace, they were not allowed to marry.

Fortunately, Meng Yanzhi herself didn't find the idea of ​​getting married particularly interesting.

Xiao Xingyuan snorted, raised his foot and stepped on Meng Yanzhi's thigh, looking at her coldly: "Do you want to enter the palace?"

"This humble woman dares not!"

Meng Yanzhi remained obsequious, staring longingly at Xiao Xingyuan.

"Why wouldn't you dare?" Xiao Xingyuan's tone became slightly colder.

Meng Yanzhi frowned slightly, as if she was hiding some anger.

She looked at Xiao Xingyuan and said cautiously, "This humble woman dares not presume to be worthy of Your Majesty!"

"At least you have some self-awareness," Xiao Xingyuan suddenly laughed.

Immediately afterwards, he hooked Meng Yanzhi's chin and kissed her fiercely.

Meng Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. She dared not resist but also dared not go any further. She could only wait foolishly for Xiao Xingyuan's move.

Xiao Xingyuan had never felt anything like this before. His body, from head to toe, was burning with desire for the woman in front of him!

He grabbed Meng Yanzhi's wrist forcefully, pulled her into his arms, and pressed down on her...

Outside the door, the guard silently opened his pants, looked at the wound on his thigh, listened to the sounds coming from inside, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then applied wound medicine to himself.

After the passion subsided, Meng Yanzhi returned to the Meng family in the same way she had come.

She tugged at the guard's sleeve, handed him a bottle of wound medicine, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then took the medicine and strode away.

Meng Yanzhi sat alone on the bed, gritting her teeth: "How can the Emperor, the supreme ruler, act like he's sick? What's going on? Is this some kind of peculiar fetish of those in power?"

The guards heard every word she said and relayed it to Xiao Xingyuan without missing a single one.

At that moment, Xiao Xingyuan was getting dressed. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and asked incredulously, "She said I have a problem?"

"Ahem, I said it behind my back," the guard immediately explained.

But it's clear that there's no point in explaining now.

Xiao Xingyuan said with a gloomy expression, "What a fine Meng Yanzhi, what a fine young lady of the Meng family!"

The next day, early morning.

When Meng Yanzhi woke up in the morning, she noticed a commotion outside. Frowning, she called Mingchu over: "What's going on?"

"The second young lady is back. It is said that the Emperor himself issued an edict to release her."

Mingchu entered with a long face, clearly unhappy, but as a servant, she couldn't say much.

What?

After hearing this, Meng Yanzhi felt completely distraught. She couldn't understand what Xiao Xingyuan meant at all.

Just last night... and this is how it is this morning?

What exactly does he mean?

Meng Yanzhi suddenly felt that all her previous efforts had been in vain; with just one sentence, he negated everything!

bump!

Just then, Meng Anfeng kicked open the door and walked in, coldly looking at Meng Yanzhi: "Xian'er is back. She was terrified. Go and apologize to her quickly."

"Young Master, Miss did nothing wrong, why should she apologize to Second Miss?" Mingchu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to speak up.

Meng Anfeng slapped Ming Chu hard across the face.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that!"

"Meng Yanzhi, do you even know how to teach your servants!"

Meng Yanzhi didn't even put on her shoes before rushing off the bed, grabbing a vase from the table, and smashing it hard on Meng Anfeng's forehead!
