On her wedding day, Meng Lingge thought she would marry the top scholar Guan Yian and live a happy life of mutual devotion...
Chapter 233 Reassurance
Seeing that Wen Zhiming was injured and unable to move easily, Meng Lingge originally did not want to tell him about the Sixth Prince's previous rudeness.
But unexpectedly, the sixth prince was so despicable. Just because Green Water had pricked him with a silver needle earlier, he threatened to kill himself and insisted that a young lady treat his wound.
What good intentions could he possibly have?
Green Water is so afraid of him, we absolutely cannot let him take us to his doom.
Thinking of this, Meng Lingge told Wen Zhiming everything that the Sixth Prince had done that day.
"The Sixth Prince said at the time that if Green Water fell into his hands, he would definitely use silver needles to stab her from head to toe. Green Water offended this man because of me, so you absolutely cannot hand her over to the Sixth Prince."
She knew the importance of this prince from the enemy country, so she emphasized it again after she finished speaking.
Wen Zhiming smiled at Meng Lingge, reassuring her that she didn't need to worry.
Then he said to the guard, "Tell General Cao that if the Sixth Prince does not want to be treated, then he should not be treated. Do not give him any medicine to stop the bleeding or relieve the pain. Also, give him a map of Nanmian Mountain and let him choose a good location there. When he dies, we will bury him there."
The Sixth Prince is indeed very useful. With him in hand, the Blue Feather Kingdom is hesitant to act rashly. If used properly, he could even relieve the border crisis and spare the border people from the suffering of war.
But he was the one who caused the Sixth Prince's injuries, and he knew the severity of the situation. Even if the Sixth Prince didn't receive treatment, he wouldn't die for the time being.
It's just a matter of suffering a bit more.
This scoundrel dared to touch his wife; he deserves to be taught a lesson.
To threaten him with not treating his injuries would be to have picked the wrong person. He's not the emperor of Lanyu Kingdom, and he can't bear to see the sixth prince suffer.
The guards acknowledged the order and withdrew. Wen Zhiming gestured for Meng Lingge to sit down and said earnestly to her, "My wife, if anyone bullies you in the future, you must tell me immediately. I will always stand by your side."
Meng Lingge's nervous demeanor just now clearly indicated that she was worried that I wouldn't help her.
Meng Lingge knew she had been a bit too excited just now, and she was taken aback when she heard Wen Zhiming's words.
Strangely enough, when Wen Zhiming was in a daze, Meng Lingge did trust him more, believing every word he said and believing that Wen Zhiming would firmly stand by her side.
But now that Wen Zhiming is becoming more and more outstanding, her trust in him is not as great as before.
Perhaps Wen Zhiming has more people to protect and more things to deal with every day, so the issues he needs to consider and take into account are naturally different.
In the past, Wen Zhiming only had her in his heart; now, Wen Zhiming has the world in his heart.
How could it possibly be the same?
If the Emperor had not sealed off the Prince of Anshun's residence and imprisoned the Prince and his wife, Wen Zhiming would not have been forced by circumstances to rise to his current position as the Prince of Northern Frontier.
They could have lived a life of monogamy, the most ordinary and happiest couple in the world, but now it's hard to say.
Regarding the matter of the enemy prince today, it's currently within Wen Zhiming's control. He can balance public and private matters, so it's fair to say Wen Zhiming will stand by her side. However, if this matter is not approved by the Sixth Prince, it could lead to another war between the two countries. Would Wen Zhiming still be able to stand by her side then?
This is just the beginning; they will have many more choices to make in the future.
If Wen Zhiming successfully ascends the throne, and the court officials want him to fill the harem, what will he do?
If Wen Zhiming had to choose between the world and her, what would he choose?
Meng Lingge had thought about these issues before, but she didn't like to worry about things that hadn't happened yet, so she didn't dwell on them.
When Wen Zhiming brought this up, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Wen Zhiming's face.
“My lord, you are no longer Prince Wen, you are the King of the Northern Frontier, and you may become the Emperor in the future. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but people change, and we don’t know what will happen in the future. You are willing to stand on my side now because this matter has not yet jeopardized your feelings for me. If one day in the future something more important happens that prevents you from standing on my side, I will not blame you.”
I like you because you are worthy of my liking, but if one day you make me feel that you are no longer worthy, you just need to let go and let me leave.
A person is first and foremost themselves, and only then do they assume other identities.
Only when both parties get along well can they be a family. If they make things difficult for each other and harbor resentment, it is better to let go and wish each other well.
"My lady." Wen Zhiming was extremely anxious. He had intended to comfort Meng Lingge, but instead, he made her even more insecure, and she even said things like "let go."
Unfortunately, he is now so wrapped up that he can't move and can't even hug his wife.
He twisted and turned like a worm bound in a rope, getting closer to Meng Lingge and pressing his face against her body.
“My wife, nothing is more important than you. What use is this world to me if I don’t have you? I want to become strong and become the ruler of the Golden Moon Kingdom because I couldn’t protect you before. I said that no one can bully you. This is my goal and my motivation.”
"If my wife doesn't want me, then I don't want to do anything anymore. What's the point of healing my wounds? Just let me die..."
The last sentence was clearly said in anger. It was evident that he had endured the pain and turned to face her, with blood seeping from his wound. Meng Lingge felt helpless and heartbroken.
"Don't move around. I was just saying that casually. There are a lot of things waiting for you to handle in the camp right now. Get well soon and don't make your wound worse."
Although Wen Zhiming had long since returned to normal, the occasional childishness he displayed immediately reminded her of the time at the Prince of Anshun's residence, softening her heart.
"Then give me a kiss, my wife."
Wen Zhiming pressed his advantage, his eyes filled with expectation.
Meng Lingge leaned down and lightly touched his forehead, her touch fleeting like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Wen Zhiming was still not satisfied and was annoyed with his own useless hands and feet.
Meng Lingge was two months pregnant. Although the food in the military camp was simple, she still looked a little rounder. Others couldn't tell, but Wen Zhiming knew her body better than she knew herself, so even the slightest change wouldn't escape his notice.
This woman possessed a different kind of beauty, captivating him with every move she made.
I really want to hold my wife in my arms and cherish her dearly.
Not long after, the guards brought in the food. Meng Lingge was about to feed Wen Zhiming first, but Wen Zhiming insisted that she eat first because she was pregnant. After some back and forth, neither of them could refuse, so they simply ate together, taking turns eating bite by bite.
Watching Wen Zhiming open his mouth to eat while grinning foolishly at her, Meng Lingge felt that she had been tricked again.
When it was time to rest in the evening, Meng Lingge went to the military camp's clothing storehouse to get a quilt, intending to spread it on the ground to sleep.
Wen Zhiming refused, insisting that she sleep on the bed as well, or else he would sleep on the floor with her.
Meng Lingge was afraid that he would really roll off the bed and worsen his injury, so she had no choice but to comply.
Wen Zhiming was covered in injuries, and there was nothing he could do as the two slept together. But knowing that Meng Lingge was lying beside him made him feel especially at ease.
