Chapter 225 You dare mess with me? I'll make you regret it in one move!
However, seeing the two of them like this, Ling Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, I have one more thing to ask of you two. I'll be going away for a while, so could you please take care of Xiaoyue for me?"
Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a smile, his expression somewhat obsequious.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan subconsciously looked at Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi immediately understood and hurriedly nodded: "Of course that's great. Xiaoyue is a beautiful and smart little girl. I like her and I'm willing to take care of her! However, my place is really too small, which seems a bit unfair to the child."
"I've already made up my mind. You can stay in the Begonia Palace next door, so you can take good care of Xiaoyue," Xiao Xingyuan said immediately.
He already felt that the small room in the Imperial Kitchen was a bit of a waste for Meng Yanzhi, so he simply cleaned up the Begonia Palace. He didn't know what excuse to use to give it to Meng Yanzhi, but now that Ling Xiao and Xiao Yue's matter came up, it was just right!
In the past, Meng Yanzhi would definitely have refused, but now, she doesn't want to refuse anymore, not for any other reason than that she knows that even if she refuses, it will be useless.
Besides, her illness last time had already caused quite a stir in the palace. How could these people easily believe that the two of them were innocent?
If you still try to hide it under such circumstances, then it can only be described as pretentious!
Meng Yanzhi was never a pretentious person, and she didn't care about petty and despicable things, so she was willing to accept these kind offers.
Originally, Xiao Xingyuan was somewhat worried, fearing that Meng Yanzhi would be unwilling, but now, seeing Meng Yanzhi's appearance, Xiao Xingyuan knew that she should be happy.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Xiao Xingyuan even felt a little gratified. This girl was quite sensible.
"Okay, I'll be going now. I'll bring the child over to you this afternoon."
“Our Xiaoyue is very easy to take care of. As long as we feed her well, that’s enough.”
After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around and walked outside.
After he left, Meng Yanzhi had almost finished eating, so she got up and took Xiao Xingyuan for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
During this time, Meng Yanzhi noticed that Xiao Xingyuan always started reading memorials after meals. If this continued, his health would definitely deteriorate. He should go out more often.
The news quickly reached Consort Ling's ears.
"What did you say!"
"You mean the Emperor is now taking a walk in the Imperial Garden with that slut?"
Even though Consort Ling herself had heard it very clearly, she was still gritting her teeth.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she spoke with discontent, "Why is it that the Emperor would favor this wretched woman so much!"
"I absolutely must go and see!" Consort Ling was furious and got up to walk outside.
Little Fish hurriedly followed behind Consort Ling, and together they walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Originally, Xiao Xingyuan wanted to spend more time with Meng Yanzhi, but unfortunately, the Grand Councilor entered the palace at this time, saying that he had important matters to discuss. Helpless, Meng Yanzhi could only ask Xiao Xingyuan to go back first.
As a result, when Consort Ling arrived with her entourage, she found only Meng Yanzhi there.
Compared to Consort Ling's volatile temper, Meng Yanzhi's current state could definitely be described as peaceful and serene. She sat quietly by the lotus pond, watching the little fish swim around in the water.
Faced with Consort Ling's irritability, Meng Yanzhi stood up and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Consort Ling."
"You still have eyes for me, Consort Ling!"
"Meng Yanzhi, you shameless woman! You deliberately flirted and acted coquettishly in front of the Emperor! How dare you seduce the Emperor like this! Have you no shame at all!"
Consort Ling was so angry that she slapped Meng Yanzhi hard across the face.
However, Meng Yanzhi showed no politeness whatsoever, grabbing Lingfei's outstretched arm and holding it firmly in her hand.
"Your Highness, there is no such thing as a 'first time' or 'second time' in my eyes!"
"I don't understand what you're saying, but what does it have to do with you that the Emperor is willing to be with me? Who do you think you are to dare to question the Emperor?"
Meng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Lingfei coldly.
Previously, when we were in the Imperial Kitchen, I gave Consort Ling some leeway because she was a palace concubine, but I never expected that this woman would be so shameless!
Since someone is being ungrateful, then Meng Yanzhi doesn't need to give her any face either!
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to lay a hand on Her Majesty!"
"Are you all dead? Get over here right now!"
Xiao Yu'er immediately realized what was happening and started cursing at Meng Yanzhi.
Well said!
Without hesitation, Meng Yanzhi slapped Xiaoyuer hard across the face, followed by Lingfei's scream.
"Rebellion! Guards, seize him!"
"Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you shameless slut!"
Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs brought by Consort Ling swarmed forward, tightly surrounding Meng Yanzhi, and began to prepare to take action.
"Light knife!"
"Throw all these people into the water!"
Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, and with a command, light blades descended from the sky, and then, as if throwing dumplings into a pot, they all threw themselves into the water.
Consort Ling was completely dumbfounded, staring at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "You, you, you're crazy! What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I am the Emperor's Consort Ling, the General's sister! If you dare to do anything to me, you'd better watch out..."
Meng Yanzhi completely ignored what Lingfei was saying, simply snorted disdainfully, and turned to leave.
This was the first time Qingdao had ever seen Meng Yanzhi so triumphant, and he felt a sense of satisfaction as well. He imitated her, snorted at Lingfei, and left with Meng Yanzhi.
After leaving Consort Ling's sight, Meng Yanzhi still spoke up, saying, "You also need to keep an eye on things, and make sure no one dies."
"Yes, I know in my heart, they won't die," Qingdao immediately replied.
This is Meng Yanzhi. Even when she is angry, she can still control herself to prevent things from getting worse and to avoid harming innocent people!
But to Qingdao, those were nothing more than worthless lackeys, nothing to be concerned about.
However, out of respect for Meng Yanzhi, she would still send someone to save them and wouldn't actually kill them.
Meng Yanzhi smiled and followed Qingdao directly to the Begonia Palace.
The Begonia Palace is magnificent, with the entire courtyard filled with begonia blossoms. Crucially, it is very close to the Imperial Study, almost separated by a wall.
