Chapter 166 Are you crazy? She actually dared to take off her clothes in front of the tyrant!
Meng Yanzhi frolicked happily through the fields, her eyes crinkling as she smiled at Xiao Ce.
Although Meng Yanzhi is the biological daughter of the Meng family, she actually grew up in the countryside. Therefore, for Meng Yanzhi, the capital city is not home, and the countryside is her favorite place.
However, Meng Yanzhi soon realized that she had been too complacent, and with a slightly embarrassed smile, she walked to Xiao Ce's side.
"I grew up in the countryside when I was young, so please don't laugh at me, Your Highness."
Xiao Ce hesitated for a moment when he saw Meng Yanzhi's appearance, and then said, "If only you could stay as happy as you were just now."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I am doing very well." Meng Yanzhi smiled gently.
She looked at the seedlings in front of her, then at Xiao Ce: "Your Highness, can you agree to my request now?"
"You really want to give your little girl to me?"
"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid something will happen to her?"
Xiao Ce looked at Meng Yanzhi with some helplessness.
"I know, you'll take good care of her!"
"Your Highness, please say yes. She doesn't want anything, she just wants you."
Meng Yanzhi tugged at Xiao Ce's sleeve, shook it a couple of times, and then acted coquettishly.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ce swallowed all the words he wanted to say, and with no other choice, he said, "I agree!"
"That's wonderful, Your Highness! You're so kind!"
"Wait here, I'll go catch some fish for you!"
With that, Meng Yanzhi turned and ran towards the riverbank not far away.
In the palace, she had to follow the rules; in the Meng family, she had a difficult time; and in the capital, she always suppressed her inner feelings.
Now, Meng Yanzhi can truly be free here, and can let herself go like this!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's cheerful expression, Xiao Ce's lips also curled up slightly, and he was in a great mood.
He didn't know when it started, but he would smile whenever Meng Yanzhi was happy, and frown whenever Meng Yanzhi was unhappy. Moreover, whenever Meng Yanzhi was present, his gaze would always involuntarily fall on her.
But Meng Yanzhi seemed completely unaware of all this; it was practically intentional on her part—she was such a despicable little girl.
Meng Yanzhi was quick and efficient, and soon she caught the fish and cooked a meal, which she and Xiao Ce enjoyed happily.
The Imperial Study.
In stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on Meng Yanzhi's side, the guard knelt on the ground, looking expectantly at Xiao Xingyuan, and recounted everything he had seen and heard that day.
Seeing that Xiao Xingyuan's expression was getting increasingly grim, the guard cautiously spoke up, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be too angry. After all, they only had one meal together, but Miss Meng ate with Your Majesty every day."
Xiao Xingyuan's mood improved somewhat after hearing this.
He snorted, then asked, "When is she coming back?"
Who knows about this?
The guard coughed awkwardly, then whispered, "I don't know either, but it should be soon, right?"
When Meng Yanzhi returned to the palace, it was already night. If it weren't for the token Xiao Xingyuan gave her, she probably wouldn't have been able to get in.
As soon as she pushed open the door and walked in, she saw the figure on the bed. Xiao Xingyuan had been appearing and disappearing like this lately, so Meng Yanzhi had gotten used to it.
She walked up to him with practiced ease, put her arms around Xiao Xingyuan's neck, and sat on his lap, saying with a smile, "The dignified ruler of a nation, waiting in the room of a mere woman like me, what? Is it to await your favor?"
What a ridiculous and absurd statement!
Xiao Xingyuan subconsciously wanted to push Meng Yanzhi away, but then he realized that Meng Yanzhi seemed to have drunk too much.
Xiao Xingyuan knew perfectly well what she had done after drinking too much last time, so seeing Meng Yanzhi like this now, his expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly asked, "You, you, how much did you drink?"
"Not many!"
"Xiao Xingyuan, you think you're so great, don't you? You think you're so smug being the emperor? But you're about to die, do you know that?"
Meng Yanzhi suddenly cupped Xiao Xingyuan's face in her hands and burst into tears.
"I originally thought I didn't care whether you lived or died, because it didn't matter to me who was emperor!"
"But I don't know why I'm so sad. I don't want you to die, Xiao Xingyuan. Can't you live on? Can't you not die?"
"There's no time left, there's really no time left!"
As Meng Yanzhi spoke and cried, she still managed to find Xiao Xingyuan's lips and kiss them.
She spoke in strange ways, but Xiao Xingyuan could hear the sadness and fear in her voice.
"I will not die."
Xiao Xingyuan spoke frankly, putting his arm around Meng Yanzhi's waist, wanting to make her behave.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Meng Yanzhi said, "You have no idea, you don't understand anything. You were born to die young and can't even have children. Tell me, out of so many people in this world, why are you so unlucky!"
Normally, Meng Yanzhi would never dare to say these words, because she would be beaten to death if she did!
But now that Meng Yanzhi has drunk alcohol, she considers herself the most powerful person in the world!
"Xiao Xingyuan, why didn't you live long?"
"You know you don't have long to live, yet you still come to provoke me. You're truly despicable!"
"Xiao Xingyuan, why do you want to become emperor?"
"You know you're the emperor, yet you still defile me. You're so disgusting!"
"Xiao Xingyuan, if only you weren't the emperor!"
Meng Yanzhi tore at her clothes, quickly stripping herself naked, and lay down on the bed, fast asleep.
Xiao Xingyuan had seen madmen before, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone as mad as Meng Yanzhi.
He looked at Meng Yanzhi's naked body and sighed helplessly, then said, "Fine, fine, how could I really hold it against you?"
With no other choice, Xiao Xingyuan covered her with the blanket and turned to leave.
"Summon Ling Xiao!"
Xiao Xingyuan entered his bedroom, sat in front of the chessboard, and stared at it without saying a word.
In the middle of the night, Ling Xiao reluctantly entered the room and sat down opposite Xiao Xingyuan, looking sullen: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me in the middle of the night?"
"Meng Yanzhi said I don't have long to live." Xiao Xingyuan was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Although she's drunk, she doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Did you scare her with this?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? How is this possible? This matter is absolutely confidential. How could I dare to divulge such a secret?" Ling Xiao was also shocked. He never expected that Meng Yanzhi would know such a big secret.
He looked at Xiao Xingyuan, then said irritably, "Did you tell them because you were drunk?"
