Chapter 303 Forbidden Love Confirmed!
Xiao Xingyuan stared at Meng Yanzhi expectantly, unsure whether she was genuinely not angry or just pretending to be magnanimous.
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan like this, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but smile and kiss him, then said softly, "What's there to be angry about? Haven't we already made the pros and cons very clear? I'm your wife, shouldn't I protect everything you have?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan suddenly felt somewhat gratified.
He smiled slightly as he looked at Meng Yanzhi, then wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately. The two instantly became inseparable.
Ling Xiao originally wanted to come back and talk to the two of them, but when he saw Wang Huanhai standing guard outside, he immediately understood what the two of them were doing inside.
His eyebrows furrowed tightly before he said irritably, "Can't these two behave themselves a little in broad daylight!"
After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around and walked back.
He didn't want to disturb the two of them at this time, otherwise he might get beaten to death.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Xiao Ce's eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Have you found out? Who exactly assassinated Her Majesty the Empress?"
Seeing Xiao Ce's anxious expression, Zhang Xuanyun coughed and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. This is not the most important thing right now. The marriage alliance is the most important thing. Also, those envoys from Canglan Kingdom are running around in the court. I wonder what they are up to!"
"How can this not be the most important thing? Meng Yanzhi almost died, isn't that a big deal?"
"As for what you're talking about, haven't we already taken precautions? What else is there to worry about?"
Xiao Ce frowned and looked at Zhang Xuanyun with some confusion. Zhang Xuanyun had clearly cared a lot about Meng Yanzhi before, so why was he so indifferent now that Meng Yanzhi was in such a big situation?
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanyun looked at him helplessly and then said, "Your Highness, I will arrange all these things. As for the assassination, the Empress probably has her own ideas, so it's best if we don't cause any unnecessary trouble."
oh?
Xiao Ce finally calmed down. He turned around on the ground and saw Ming Chu walk in with tea and snacks. Xiao Ce was already in a bad mood, and now seeing Ming Chu doing things with her big belly, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed. He said unhappily, "You're so pregnant, why are you still doing these things? Put it down and go out to rest!"
Mingchu never expected that his visit to deliver tea would result in a scolding from Xiao Ce.
She stood there holding the tray, caught in a dilemma, tears streaming down her face. She then put the tray down on the table, turned around, and strode outside.
Looking at Mingchu's retreating figure, Xiao Ce realized that he might have said something wrong. He felt a little annoyed, but it wasn't intentional.
“Your Highness, why take your anger out on others? It is precisely at times like these that we should calm down. If we lose our composure, won’t outsiders laugh at us?” Zhang Xuanyun looked at Xiao Ce with some helplessness.
During this period, he didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Ce. He was unusually irritable and easily angered, which was completely inexplicable.
At this moment, Xiao Ce finally realized that something was wrong with his situation. He frowned and looked at Zhang Xuanyun. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Yes, it's all my fault. I was too anxious."
“Your Highness, she is already the Empress. The Emperor likes her very much, and she likes the Emperor too. The two have a close relationship, and it is impossible for a third person to interfere. Why is Your Highness so preoccupied with this?” Zhang Xuanyun felt that it was necessary to make things clear, otherwise, things would only get more and more complicated and they would get deeper and deeper into trouble.
Seeing this, Xiao Ce could only turn his gaze away, sit down to the side, and say in a sullen voice, "Actually, I don't know what's wrong with me. I know that it's impossible for me and Yan Zhi to be together, but now that she has become my mother, I feel very awkward, and I don't even know how to face her."
Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Zhang Xuanyun thought for a moment and then said, "But Your Highness, this matter has already been settled, and no one can change it."
"I understand, but I'm still a little sad," Xiao Ce sighed.
Now that things have come to this, all he can feel is pain.
Outside the door, Mingchu could hear the conversation between the two people inside clearly. Before, Mingchu had some doubts about whether Xiao Ce liked Meng Yanzhi. Now, she could finally confirm that he did like Meng Yanzhi.
Mingchu knew in her heart that Meng Yanzhi was good in every way, but now seeing the man she liked still thinking about her, Mingchu still felt very uncomfortable. She was not the kind of person who liked to suffer internally, so she went directly to the palace to find Meng Yanzhi.
When Meng Yanzhi saw Mingchu, she knew that the girl had come with something on her mind.
She smiled at Mingchu and then said directly, "Just say what you want to say."
"Miss." Ming Chu walked over and sat down opposite Meng Yanzhi, looking at her intently. "Are you aware that the Crown Prince likes you?"
"I am the Empress, do you know about this?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Ming Chu with some dissatisfaction. She had long known that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, but she never expected that Ming Chu would ask her about it so bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Mingchu immediately calmed down and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, that was not what I meant!"
"So what do you mean?"
"Mingchu, I've always been accommodating to you, but you've taken advantage of me. Do you really think I won't lose my temper?"
Meng Yanzhi's face turned cold. This matter was very different from before, so she had to explain this point clearly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I really didn't mean it. I'm just sad, I'm just heartbroken. Why can't the person I love love me back?"
Why does everyone like you more?
Mingchu looked up and gazed at Meng Yanzhi with a wronged expression.
“A man’s affection is the least valuable thing.” Meng Yanzhi looked coldly at Ming Chu: “The person you have fallen in love with is the Crown Prince, so you should know that the Crown Prince’s heart and nights can never belong to only you.”
Upon hearing this, Mingchu felt even more exposed!
Tears streamed down her face as she covered her face with her hands: "Yes, I know, I knew from the beginning, but why does my heart still ache so much, Miss? It hurts so much! Why did this happen? Why did I become like this?"
