Chapter 133 The Imperial Advisor Arrives, the Truth Cannot Be Hidden
In the early Ming Dynasty, who would have the mind to eat?
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's state, she knew that Meng Yanzhi was definitely involved in Consort Liu's madness!
"Miss, please don't do anything foolish for my sake!" Mingchu was getting anxious and shouted from behind.
However, Meng Yanzhi had already gone out when, unexpectedly, she saw Ling Xiao in her own courtyard.
Meng Yanzhi was only stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that her methods could fool the imperial physicians in the palace, but it would be difficult to fool the person in front of her. If she couldn't fool him, she couldn't fool Xiao Xingyuan either. However, Meng Yanzhi did not regret it. She only regretted that she hadn't taken too much, otherwise Ming Chu would not have suffered!
Now, Meng Yanzhi even regrets that she let Consort Liu go crazy too easily.
"Shall we chat?"
Ling Xiao looked at Meng Yanzhi and smiled.
The moment Ling Xiao saw Meng Yanzhi, he knew that there was not a trace of regret in the girl's eyes, only the light of accepting defeat.
This shows that she doesn't regret what she did; in fact, she's quite proud of it.
"Let's chat."
Meng Yanzhi nodded, sat down on a chair to the side, and looked at Ling Xiao with a half-smile.
"I wonder what the Imperial Advisor wants to discuss with me?"
"Let's talk about His Majesty."
Ling Xiao sat down opposite Meng Yanzhi and gave her a silly smile.
"Rouge, I know you're angry about this, but to be honest, this has nothing to do with His Majesty. If you're taking your anger out on him like this, isn't he being wronged?"
Ling Xiao sighed helplessly as he said this.
However, Meng Yanzhi did not think so.
"Back then, I helped the Crown Prince find the Jade King's armory, and then the matter became a huge scandal, making it impossible for me to stay outside. I had no choice but to beg the Imperial Concubine to come to the palace. Is His Majesty innocent in this matter as well?"
"After entering the palace, His Majesty took care of me in every way, but in reality, he made things difficult for me at every turn. Knowing that Consort Liu was a madwoman, he still deliberately used me to provoke her. Was she innocent as well?"
"In the end, all he did and all the effort he put in was just to make me grovel and beg in front of him, right? I begged, and he's still not satisfied and even throws a tantrum at me. Is that my fault?"
"You say His Majesty is innocent, but what about me? What about Mingchu? Aren't we innocent too!"
As Meng Yanzhi spoke, her temper flared up, and she became so angry that her face turned red and her hands trembled.
Ling Xiao was truly dumbfounded. He had always thought that everything Xiao Xingyuan did was done in a very secretive way, but he never expected that Meng Yanzhi knew everything.
She knew everything, but she still let Xiao Xingyuan do as he pleased, which was really quite indulgent.
"Rest assured, Imperial Advisor, he is His Majesty, the Emperor, and the one who holds the power of life and death. No matter how unhappy I am, I will not really do anything to him."
"After all, although he was not a good person, he was indeed a good emperor."
Meng Yanzhi had calmed down by this time and smiled at Ling Xiao.
The contrast was so stark that Ling Xiao was caught off guard.
"Then you... I... I mean, he didn't blame you for what happened to Consort Liu, so could you please not hold a grudge against him?" Ling Xiao thought for a moment. Facing such a clever Meng Yanzhi, he should tell the truth, otherwise, he might make things worse.
So that's what it was about.
Meng Yanzhi shrugged indifferently, then said lightly, "He didn't pursue the matter because there was no evidence, and more importantly, because his patience with the Jade Prince had reached its limit. Do you think I'm cunning? It's just that the Emperor tacitly approved it."
After saying that, Meng Yanzhi stood up and looked at Ling Xiao: "I'm going to cook now. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Don't you like His Majesty?" Ling Xiao looked at Meng Yanzhi with some surprise.
They were destined for each other, and logically they should like each other, but looking at the little girl now, it seems that she has no feelings for Xiao Xingyuan at all.
Could there be a problem with the calculation?
For the first time, Ling Xiao began to doubt his own methods.
"I won't like anyone!"
After saying this, Meng Yanzhi strode outside.
Ling Xiao remained alone, starting to re-establish his destiny, wanting to see what was really going on between these two people.
Soon, Ling Xiao received the exact same result as before, which meant that these two people were destined for each other, but the time was not yet right.
"Phew! Xiao Xingyuan, don't say your brother didn't help you. The one who falls in love first is destined to lose. Blame yourself for being spineless!"
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no problems with his destiny, then the problems that were happening now were just minor issues, not worth mentioning.
Meng Yanzhi hasn't cooked for herself for over ten days. Xiao Xingyuan has been in a bad mood and has been in a bad temper lately.
Now, the people in the small kitchen saw Meng Yanzhi as if she were their savior, and they all surrounded her, especially Tan Yun.
"Sister, you've finally arrived! We're all being driven crazy by the Emperor!"
"Waaah, it's so good that you're here! Now everyone can have some good days!"
Meng Yanzhi didn't say much else, but started preparing the ingredients and cooking. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood, so she made spicy dishes.
Xiao Xingyuan doesn't like spicy food; most of the time, he prefers sweet food.
Even Wang Huanhai was dumbfounded when he saw the plate full of red chili peppers.
He looked at the plate, then at Meng Yanzhi, and said softly, "Your Majesty has been experiencing some internal heat lately, so... perhaps something lighter would be better?"
"Um."
Meng Yanzhi pointed to the dishes on the side.
"There are light options!"
This... is bland?
Wang Huanhai stared in disbelief at the plate full of green chili peppers beside him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he could only silently carry the plate into the imperial study.
The moment the lid was opened, a spicy aroma wafted out, and Xiao Xingyuan's expression immediately changed: "How dare you! Do these people in the Imperial Kitchen even know how to do their jobs? Don't they know I don't eat spicy food!"
"Miss Meng made all of these herself, saying she wanted to give His Majesty a change of pace," Wang Huanhai explained in a low voice.
He was terrified that Xiao Xingyuan might rip his head off in a fit of anger.
Upon hearing the name Meng Yanzhi, Xiao Xingyuan would always regain his composure for a moment.
His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he stared at the chili peppers. He knew that Meng Yanzhi had done this on purpose to give him a hard time.
It's strange, really. In all the years he's been emperor, no one has ever been so presumptuous as to dare to give him attitude!
However, after realizing this, Xiao Xingyuan was not angry at all; in fact, he felt somewhat helpless and could only pick up his chopsticks and start eating, bite by bite.
this……
Wang Huanhai was starting to doubt his eyes. He really couldn't believe that Xiao Xingyuan had actually eaten it.
