Chapter 62: Xiao Yan, did I scare you?
"If the Emperor does not want the Li family's kingdom to be destroyed, then listen to me."
"Think about the fate of the late emperor..."
The Queen Mother's final words finally made the Emperor nod: "Okay."
————
It was three days later that Meng Mingshu woke up.
"Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Yan hugged her in his arms and then let her go, holding her shoulders.
"How is Ah Shu?"
"Does it hurt?"
"Are you dizzy? Or feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Meng Mingshu shook her head and touched her forehead: "It's okay, I'm not dizzy, and it's not painful."
Xiao Yan felt relieved, even though he had taken Meng Mingshu's pulse countless times in the past few days.
The result was that the injury was not serious.
"No, Xiao Yan, aren't you dead?"
Meng Mingshu looked at Xiao Yan blankly:
"Or did we meet in the underworld?"
Xiao Yan told Meng Mingshu what happened that day with an apologetic look on his face.
"Ah Shu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have agreed to the bet..."
After listening to all of Xiao Yan's stories, Meng Mingshu felt relieved. She hugged Xiao Yan tightly and threw herself into his arms.
"Xiao Yan, don't say these things. As long as you're okay, I'm happy that you're alive."
"I know, you just don't want me to be your concubine."
Meng Mingshu touched Xiao Yan's face and said, "So don't say these things to me."
"I don't blame you."
"Have you been frightened these days?"
Xiao Yan rubbed his face against Meng Mingshu's palm and shook his head gently, "No."
Meng Mingshu laughed: "You lied to me again, look in the mirror yourself."
Xiao Yan's face was extremely pale, and his eyes were dark and blue. It was obvious that he had not slept for the past few days.
Xiao Yan had no choice but to nod and hold her tightly in his arms: "I was really scared."
When he thought Meng Mingshu was dead, he just wanted to kill himself by hitting his head against a wall.
Meng Mingshu raised her head from Xiao Yan's arms, and her once sharp face was now haggard.
Her heart ached, and she kissed Xiao Yan's Adam's apple with heartache.
"Don't be afraid. I want to be with my husband for the rest of my life. Neither of us wants to die."
Meng Mingshu kissed his Adam's apple. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan would have been very excited and would have severely punished Meng Mingshu...
But at the moment, Xiao Yan didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to hold her tightly.
"Ah Shu, let's take Tuan'er and your mother and leave the capital."
"I don't want to go through what happened the past few days again."
Xiao Yan could not bear the consequences of losing Meng Mingshu.
Meng Mingshu hesitated for a moment and met Xiao Yan's dark eyes.
She still said: "Okay."
"But didn't we win the bet between you and His Majesty?
If Your Majesty has not changed his mind, then we do not need to leave."
Meng Mingshu and Xiao Yan are indeed different.
She has experienced the embarrassment of being powerless.
The reason why Xie Zhiwan and her brother dared to treat her like that was because she was no longer the daughter of the prefect and had no status.
But once she became the prince's woman, everyone's attitude changed.
Even my maternal grandparents, who are related by blood, have changed.
This is the benefit of power, no one dares to bully them.
But no matter how much Meng Mingshu loves power and wealth.
But none of them could compare to Xiao Yan.
She had experienced these things in her previous life.
“If Your Majesty does not recognize this bet, then we will leave.
I am willing to be a commoner couple with you."
"I also just want to be your wife, my only wife."
The soft corner of Xiao Yan's heart was touched. He took Meng Mingshu's hand and kissed her as if she were a treasure.
"good."
He knew better than anyone that Meng Mingshu liked to live a comfortable life.
When he said he wanted to leave the capital, he didn't even think Meng Mingshu would agree.
He was ready to stay and fight the emperor.
Meng Mingshu compromised for him, and Xiao Yan also wanted to give Meng Mingshu better.
"But Ah Shu, I promise you, as long as there is still room for maneuver, we won't leave."
But if the emperor really went too far, Xiao Yan would not always tolerate it.
Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Meng Mingshu hugged his waist.
"Okay, but your life is the most important thing. As long as you are okay, I will accept it even if you really marry someone else."
Xiao Yan shook his head, his tone becoming extremely serious.
"The only thing I can't do is marry someone else. There are some things that are the bottom line and cannot be compromised."
Xiao Yan knew that his actions were ridiculous in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Some people might think it's just another wife, and they can just marry her in as a decoration."
"But if you take one step back, you will have to take every step back in the future. Today, you are forced to let that woman in.
Tomorrow he will be forced to consummate the marriage, and the day after tomorrow he will be forced to have a child with her."
"Then it's all over between us."
In this matter, it seems to be just marrying one more wife, but it actually concerns the future of him and Meng Mingshu.
"I know you better than you know yourself. If I really touched another woman, no matter how tolerant you act, you would definitely mind it in your heart."
"Perhaps this crack will remain in your heart forever, making you unconsciously dislike me."
Meng Mingshu lowered her head and thought carefully. Xiao Yan really understood her.
If something like this really happened, she might never be able to live with it for the rest of her life.
Meng Mingshu suddenly thought of what she had done before.
She looked at Xiao Yan nervously:
"So, do you still mind that I abandoned you before? Will you always be upset about it?"
When Xiao Yan saw those uneasy eyes, his heart softened.
"Won't."
"As long as you stay with me, I can forgive everything else."
Xiao Yan's tolerance towards Meng Mingshu was greater than he had imagined.
Meng Mingshu saw that Xiao Yan was speaking from the heart and felt relieved.
————
As the couple was talking, Liu Zhongquan came and told them that the emperor wanted to see Xiao Yan.
"You go ahead."
After Xiao Yan left, the empress dowager's summons arrived immediately.
"The Queen Mother wants to see me?"
What a coincidence, Xiao Yan had just left and the Empress Dowager wanted to see her.
Meng Mingshu also wanted to see what the Queen Mother was going to do.
After Meng Mingshu knelt down to pay her respects, the empress dowager did not ask her to stand up, but told her to remain kneeling.
It was not until a cup of tea had passed that the empress dowager finally paid attention to her.
"Can you make tea?"
Meng Mingshu shook her head: "I am a stupid girl."
"Then you always offer tea."
Meng Mingshu nodded: "The Common Women's Association."
Soon the palace maid brought the teacups.
"Kneel here and meet your future mistress. Offer her tea and ask her to acknowledge your status as a concubine."
The Queen Mother's cold and majestic voice came from above Meng Mingshu's head.
Meng Mingshu looked up suddenly, thinking she had misheard.
As a result, she saw an extremely beautiful young woman looking at her coldly, with undisguised disdain and malice in her eyes.
