Chapter 90 Siblings Reunited in the Palace

Ming Chu immediately strode over: "Miss, the Emperor treats you very differently. Don't you really intend to give it a serious consideration?"

Meng Yanzhi and Xiao Xingyuan had already been intimate, but she knew her own identity and that the possibility of her entering the palace was extremely small.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Mingchu, I want to see the outside world. I want to go to Jiangnan and I want to go to the desert. The palace... is not what I want, and I don't want to stay."

Mingchu knew, of course, that Meng Yanzhi didn't want to stay, but Mingchu was just too worried.

She frowned as she looked at Meng Yanzhi and then said, "I'm afraid that things might not stay peacefully. What if the Emperor really takes a liking to you and insists that you stay?"

Meng Yanzhi didn't know what to do either. If such a thing really happened, Meng Yanzhi felt a wave of despair. She took a deep breath and then said, "I can only take it one step at a time. The Crown Prince promised me that he would definitely give me my freedom!"

Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Mingchu felt as if she had missed something. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Can we really stay safe in the harem?"

"Of course you can." Meng Yanzhi smiled, gently patted Mingchu's head, and said, "Don't worry."

Finally, Mingchu breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep.

The Meng family.

"Mother, is my sister really going to stay in the palace as a lady-in-waiting?"

"She must see His Highness the Crown Prince quite often, right?"

Meng Anxian looked at her mother with pleading eyes; she hadn't given up on the marriage with the Crown Prince.

Although she had caused a minor incident before, she knew that these things would soon pass. Now, she was looking at Meng's mother with great anticipation, wanting to ask if there was any hope for her marriage.

During this time, Meng's mother was already extremely worried about Aunt Chen's matter.

She looked at Meng Anxian and then said, "The Crown Prince's residence isn't too satisfied with your father right now. I'm afraid your marriage is going to fall through. Why don't you reconsider?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Anxian became somewhat anxious.

"Before, His Highness the Crown Prince was so kind and trusting to Father. Why is he treating us like this now? Is it because of Sister? Is it because Sister spoke ill of us?"

"My sister is His Highness's savior; she must have used witchcraft to bewitch him!"

"Mother, what should I do? What should I do?!"

Meng Anxian grabbed her mother's arm and shook it incessantly.

"Xian'er, you should know very well what the situation is like at home right now. Your father has been completely seduced by Aunt Chen and has even fathered an illegitimate child. If this child is born, it will be a huge threat to us. Do you understand?" Mother Meng frowned as she looked at Meng Anxian.

Sometimes she really wished Meng Anxian could be more sensible, but she didn't know why Meng Anxian was so immature now!

She looked at Meng Anxian, whose mind was only on her, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Xian'er, the matter we need to deal with now is Consort Chen, not the Crown Prince, and certainly not Meng Yanzhi, do you understand?"

Meng Anxian stood there, stunned, looking at her mother in disbelief. She never expected her mother to say such a thing.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, Meng Anxian had always been her mother's darling and the person she cared about most. Her requests had never been ignored like this before, and this feeling of being ignored filled Meng Anxian with a sense of crisis.

But Meng Anxian knew she couldn't express herself right now. She took a deep breath and then whispered, "Mother, she's just a lowly concubine. Why are you so concerned? Just get rid of the child, isn't that enough?"

Upon hearing this, Meng's mother sighed helplessly, then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple now. The child is already over three months old, and he's under your father's watchful eye. How can it be so easy?"

"Mother, don't worry. As long as I marry His Highness the Crown Prince, even if his child is born, he can't do anything to you and my brother." Meng Anxian walked over, took her mother's arm, and smiled gently: "Mother, please help me. I really love His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this, Mencius' mother sighed helplessly, then nodded: "Alright, I'll help you figure out a way to handle this. You should get some rest first."

After leaving Lingxi Academy, Meng's mother went to Meng Anfeng's courtyard.

"Things have been unsettled at home lately, you should hurry back to the palace." Meng's mother's first instinct was to protect Meng Anfeng.

Seeing his mother's troubled expression, Meng Anfeng said, "Mother, how can I feel at ease leaving you alone in this house?"

A wave of emotion washed over Meng's mother. She smiled gently and said, "Just as you said, I've been here for so many years, what else can I do? Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Meng Anfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up: "I've thought about this carefully over the past few days, and I should have a proper talk with Rouge."

"Go ahead," Mencius' mother sighed helplessly, "but I'm afraid it will all be in vain."

It wasn't a big deal for Meng Anfeng to want to see Meng Yanzhi; he easily found her in the small kitchen.

When Meng Yanzhi, dressed in white, wielded the spatula, she looked incredibly lively.

At this moment, Meng Anfeng suddenly remembered that he had never seen such a vibrant Meng Yanzhi when he was at the Meng family.

He stood there, waiting for Meng Yanzhi to finish her work, before walking up to her and looking at her: "Meng Yanzhi."

"Why are you here?" Meng Yanzhi's expression changed upon hearing his voice, and she gripped the shovel in her hand tightly. "What are you doing here?"

Seeing her wary look, Meng Anfeng felt a little uncomfortable.

"Come out here, I have something to tell you."

Meng Yanzhi thought for a moment, then scooped out the broad beans she had just stir-fried and handed them to Mingchu.

"Send this to the Imperial Study so His Majesty can have a taste!"

"yes!"

Mingchu held the plate and glanced at Meng Anfeng cautiously, feeling uneasy.

She feels fear whenever she sees Meng Anfeng.

Meng Yanzhi looked at Meng Anfeng and asked, "Brother, what brings you here?"

"I thought you were having a hard time in the palace, but I didn't expect you to be so happy?"

"What's wrong? Is this place better than the Meng family's?"

Meng Anfeng looked at Meng Yanzhi with a puzzled expression. What was so good about this place?
