Chapter 1 Mistakenly Entering the Emperor's Bed
She must win over the Crown Prince today, climb onto the Emperor's bed, and become the next Crown Princess!
A ruthless glint gradually appeared in Meng Yanzhi's beautiful eyes.
In her past life, she was the true daughter of the Meng family and was found by them, but they did not love her.
Until the day of the Crown Prince's birthday, when he was assassinated and fell into the water, she risked her life to save him in the dead of winter, resulting in her lifelong infertility. As a result of this favor, the Meng family rose from an unknown, low-ranking official family to a position of great power and influence.
However, the Meng family showed no gratitude towards her. Instead, they pushed the marriage that was originally intended for the fake heiress Meng Anxian onto her.
A scholar who passed the imperial examination from a poor family.
Because she was unable to have children, she was tormented and humiliated by her husband every day.
She was powerless to stop her husband from taking in concubines one by one. Later, in order to get promoted, he even gave her to his superior, a sixty-year-old man. She was tortured beyond recognition.
She had no choice but to write to the Meng family for help.
Instead of the Meng family, she encountered Meng Anxian, who had become the Crown Princess thanks to her kindness, and looked at her with a mocking expression. "Sister, do you really think that the cold water from that day could render you infertile? Of course not. It's just that such a good marriage should fall into my lap, so Mother, those tonics you sent are actually infertile medicines..."
"By the way, the idea of having your husband curry favor with your boss and sending you there was actually Father's idea. That way, we can get such a promising talent as my brother-in-law to serve under the Meng family."
"Sister, you've been so foolish all your life."
Those words struck me like a thunderbolt.
She became a joke, even with her husband who was a scholar, she was always busy scheming for the Meng family, only hoping for a little bit of affection.
But the Meng family treated her like livestock, an object to be discarded at will.
She has been reborn.
Her marriage should naturally return to her own hands...
Meng Yanzhi straightened her moon-like dress. With her slender waist and lotus-like face, she was beautiful. She was born with a face that could bring disaster, otherwise her damned husband would not have been blinded by lust and agreed to marry her, a woman who could not bear children.
Her face is now her best weapon.
The imperial decree to make Meng Anxian the Crown Prince's consort will arrive tomorrow, and before that, she must climb into the Crown Prince's bed and reclaim the marriage.
Meng Yanzhi pushed open the tightly closed door, her voice, honed to the quality of a nightingale's song, calling out softly.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, I heard you came to serve me while you were drunk—"
Before he could finish speaking, "Bang!"
She was suddenly pressed down and slammed against the door.
A body, burning hot, instantly blocked her way, like a towering mountain.
She tried to scream, but found the man's hand gripping her neck tightly.
Those dark, cold, and fierce eyes seemed to be imbued with the murderous aura of a superior.
"Who sent you?"
The man's deep voice was filled with heat, as if it were burning her cheeks.
His voice is very pleasant and magnetic; he is a very calm and mature man.
But it's clearly not a good choice.
She had heard the Crown Prince's voice before.
It is naturally possible to distinguish them.
But the man had a very faint fragrance on him, and one sniff was enough to tell that he had been drugged with aphrodisiacs.
She panicked for a moment. The main courtyard of the Crown Prince's residence was here, and the Crown Prince himself was not resting here. So who could it be?
"grown ups……"
"This servant has entered the wrong room. Please let me go."
Hearing that sweet, soft voice, the man felt a burning sensation in his chest. He drank the drugged wine, and was in the throes of passion.
He was always calm and never lost his composure, but this voice was really pleasant to hear.
Something felt like it was pounding wildly in my chest, and my throat was burning hot, as if it would ignite at the slightest touch.
He said in a deep voice, "You think you can just leave after drugging me? There's no way you can get away with that."
She stared at him in astonishment.
The next second, the man's large palm gripped her waist, and her whole body pressed against his. Their burning heat met, and she instantly blushed, realizing what it was.
"I, I'm not..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man suddenly pressed some pressure point on her, rendering her unable to utter a single word and unable to move her body.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she could only stare wide-eyed at the blurry figure. The man's deep voice spoke:
"Sneaking into a man's house in the middle of the night, and you still dare to say you're not? Keep making such a racket, then save your strength for later, and you'll suffer."
Meng Yanzhi froze, watching helplessly as she was carried into the soft couch.
A strong masculine aura wafted over me.
She struggled internally, but her body remained completely still.
At this moment, only one sentence came to mind: "The late emperor had not completed his great undertaking when he passed away." Could it be that if she were to be reborn, she would have to follow the same old path again?
Seeing the glistening tears in her eyes, the man's heart softened inexplicably. He wiped away her tears and said, "It's alright, I'll be gentler."
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck.
Meng Yanzhi's eyes widened.
Tears streamed down her face.
Lies!
Soon, Meng Yanzhi experienced what it meant to be exhausted. She fainted several times throughout the night, and when she woke up, it was still dark.
At that moment, the acupoints on her body were released, and the man had disappeared. She immediately carried her trembling legs and fled.
At that moment, out of her sight, a hidden guard on a roof beam saw her escape. Without making a sound, he leaped a few steps and arrived at a study.
The guard stepped forward and knelt before the man.
The man was tall and well-built, dressed in fine clothes; he was the same man from last night.
His face was stern and cold, and he was no longer drunk from the previous night. He recalled how he had tirelessly indulged himself several times with a woman of unknown origin the night before.
He suddenly felt a surge of anger.
"She's gone?"
The guard replied, "Yes."
"I have already checked, and there is nothing unusual on her. Therefore, it should just be the effect of the aphrodisiac wine last night. The person who drugged her yesterday and the maid who was arranged to get into bed with her have now been arrested."
The man frowned. "Just alcohol?"
The bodyguard nodded.
The man swallowed hard, quite disbelieving. He had always been very self-controlled, but yesterday he seemed to have been possessed.
"Your Majesty, shall we investigate the woman's identity? Since you have already mistakenly favored her, perhaps..." He hesitated.
The word "Your Majesty" landed softly, yet who could have imagined that the current emperor was residing in the Crown Prince's residence?
Emperor Yuanjing coldly replied, "No need."
The guards instantly understood: a woman who could live in the Crown Prince's backyard and come and go as she pleased could only be a concubine or a maidservant. With her alluring skills, she couldn't possibly be anyone else.
If he were to investigate the woman's identity, it would surely alarm everyone in the household.
The emperor slept with his son's woman, even if she was just an adopted son.
That would also be considered a royal scandal.
——
Meng Yanzhi fled back to the Meng family and went to her room, where she washed herself.
