Chapter 264 Former sisters return with babies, Empress: I'm here, don't be afraid!
Ling Xiao looked at Meng Yanzhi's cautious manner with some confusion: "The baby is fine in your belly, what are you worried about?"
“I took a lot of medicine that I shouldn’t have taken before, and I’m afraid it will harm the baby in my belly.”
"In the Meng family, they don't want me to have the ability to have children, so... I don't know if my body is capable of properly nurturing a child."
Meng Yanzhi was originally unwilling to talk about this, but now she had no choice but to tell Ling Xiao, even for the sake of the child in her womb.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, took Meng Yanzhi's hand, carefully took her pulse, and finally shook his head and said, "It's nothing, nothing at all. I can't see any trace of medication in your pulse, so the poisoning shouldn't be severe!"
Meng Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, then touched her lower abdomen and whispered, "As long as this child is born safely, I'm not afraid of anything."
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's expression, Ling Xiao sighed and then said, "Is that really what you think? Is this all you want?"
Of course not. Meng Yanzhi wanted many more things, but right now this was the most important thing. Nothing was more important than having a child.
She glanced at Ling Xiao: "You seemed really strange when you came over today. What's wrong? Is something wrong with the Emperor?"
"No, what could be wrong with him? All he knows is that he likes you, so if you're okay, he's okay too."
"Rouge, I know that feelings are a matter between the two of you, but I still favor the Emperor a little. I hope you can treat him better, even better. I also hope that when you encounter problems, you can understand that he is the Emperor and that he has many things he cannot control."
Ling Xiao sighed, feeling somewhat guilty when talking about these things.
The main point is that if it weren't for his innocent and outspoken remarks when he was young, Xiao Xingyuan's fate might have been different.
This guilt accompanied Ling Xiao as he grew up, which is why Ling Xiao now grants Xiao Xingyuan's every request.
Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Meng Yanzhi found it somewhat amusing and said calmly, "I think you might have misunderstood something. Things aren't as you think. Also, I've heard about what happened between you two. It wasn't your fault, because fate is not something you can control, and celestial phenomena are the will of Heaven, not something you can influence. You just chose to speak out. The bad thing is the situation, not the person who brought the bad news, isn't it?"
This matter has always been a knot in the hearts of the two of them.
Ling Xiao always felt guilty, but in reality, Xiao Xingyuan, who was also burdened by guilt, didn't feel any better either.
However, given Xiao Xingyuan's position, he simply couldn't say these things to Ling Xiao in person. But Meng Yanzhi was different; she could say whatever she wanted.
No wonder he likes you.
"You are indeed very understanding."
Ling Xiao replied indifferently, then stood up and strode outside.
Normally, Ling Xiao is someone who likes to advise others, but now, when faced with his own problems, he can't figure things out and gets stuck on his own ideas.
Watching Ling Xiao's retreating figure, Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly and continued fishing with focused concentration.
"I've got it! I've got it!"
Qingdao immediately clapped her hands excitedly, looking at Meng Yanzhi with a smile, her eyes sparkling.
"Your Majesty, you are amazing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingchu walked over.
She knelt before Meng Yanzhi and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine."
"Mingchu, you've arrived!"
"Look, isn't the fish I caught big?"
Meng Yanzhi smiled and stared at her, showing off her fish.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's leisurely and carefree appearance, Mingchu couldn't help but smile softly. She quietly sat down next to Meng Yanzhi and said, "This servant remembers that Miss said before when she was in the manor that she liked this kind of life."
"Why are you suddenly calling yourself a servant girl?" Meng Yanzhi frowned slightly, looking at Ming Chu with some confusion. "Did you suffer any grievances at the Crown Prince's residence?"
"She wouldn't feel wronged, she wouldn't even realize she's a servant, let alone the Empress, would she?" Qingdao snorted, rolled her eyes at Mingchu, and then turned and strode away.
Watching Qingdao's retreating figure, Mingchu burst into tears, looking at Meng Yanzhi with some grievance: "Your Majesty, is that what you think too?"
"Of course not. Ever since I returned to the Meng family, you've been with me. You've suffered countless grievances and pains by my side. When I was beaten, you were beaten; when I was hungry, you were hungry with me. We went through thick and thin together in the early Ming Dynasty. I will never forget that."
"In my heart, as long as you are truly happy, that's better than anything else."
Meng Yanzhi put down her fishing rod, took Mingchu's hand, and gently offered some words of advice.
Ming Chu never imagined that he was seen this way by Meng Yanzhi.
Her tears fell instantly, and she looked at Meng Yanzhi with a wronged expression: "Your Majesty is the best girl in the world. Your Majesty, I regret it. I don't want to be the Crown Prince's concubine anymore, and I don't want to stay by his side anymore. I want to go home. I want to go back to your side. Can we be like before?"
"Why? Did the Crown Prince bully you?!" Meng Yanzhi's expression immediately changed, and she frowned as she looked at Ming Chu nervously: "Did he hit you, or what happened?"
Mingchu sighed, lowered her head, and said softly, "No, he's very good, exceptionally good. It's my fault, I'm not worthy. He... he doesn't want this child."
What?
Meng Yanzhi's eyebrows furrowed, but she could understand that there must be a reason why the Crown Prince didn't want the child.
She looked at Mingchu: "So, what do you plan to do?"
“I want this child.” Mingchu touched her lower abdomen: “Miss, you know that I lost my parents when I was very young. Now this child is the only person in the world who is connected to me by blood. I want this child. Even if I don’t become the Crown Prince’s concubine, even if this child can’t be recognized by his ancestors in the future, I don’t care. I just want this child. I want my child.”
Meng Yanzhi is about to become a mother herself, so she can especially understand Ming Chu's thoughts.
She sighed and looked at Mingchu with some helplessness: "If it weren't for the child, I might be able to plead with Xiao Ce and get you back, but now that you have the child, it will be very difficult. I can only try to see if I can persuade him."
