Chapter 274 A loving brother brings medicine, but witnesses his brother's betrayal.
Meng Yanzhi glared at him angrily: "So, you just don't want me to go, don't you?"
"It's not that I don't want you to go, it's that I'm worried about you going."
"Tell me, what will I do if something happens to you?"
Xiao Xingyuan felt alarmed just looking at Meng Yanzhi's protruding belly, so how could he let her go out with peace of mind?
But Meng Yanzhi didn't think so. The child was already so big, and now was the most stable time. Besides, Zhao Bailu was so good to her, how could she not go?
Meng Yanzhi plopped down on a chair and glared angrily at Xiao Xingyuan, locked in a silent standoff.
Seeing that Meng Yanzhi was about to burst into tears, Xiao Xingyuan hurriedly nodded: "Okay, okay, but Qingdao has to stay with you, understand?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I knew Your Majesty was the best to me!" Meng Yanzhi leaned forward and kissed him before turning around and happily walking outside.
Wang Huanhai stood aside, finding Xiao Xingyuan's pathetic behavior amusing. He had watched Xiao Xingyuan grow up, so he knew best what kind of person Xiao Xingyuan was. Now, for Meng Yanzhi, he had truly abandoned all principles.
Meng Yanzhi arrived at the Zhao family's house by carriage. The Zhao family's house was bustling with activity today, so Meng Yanzhi did not disturb anyone and quietly went to Zhao Bailu's room.
Zhao Bailu is now dressed up beautifully. She usually dresses like a tomboy, so she looks especially good today.
"Rouge, you've come?"
"You're still heavily pregnant!"
When Zhao Bailu saw Meng Yanzhi enter, she hurriedly stood up and looked at her with a smile.
Meng Yanzhi stepped forward, took Zhao Bailu's hand, smiled gently, and said, "You are my best friend in the capital, so of course I had to come. Don't worry, the child is fine now, everything will be alright."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bailu's eyes reddened, and she whispered, "Rouge... I... I'm still a little scared!"
She had thought she could marry Gu Hanyue with ease, but now that the day had actually come, she was just afraid.
She didn't know what kind of life she would lead after marrying him.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but chuckle softly, then pinched her cheek: "Silly girl, look how beautiful you are today. After you get married, you can travel and enjoy life. Isn't this the life you've always wanted?"
"Yan Zhi, you're so good!" Zhao Bailu hugged Meng Yan Zhi and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of Meng Yanzhi's special status, she was unable to accompany Zhao Bailu to the bridal sedan chair. Instead, she could only sit in her own carriage and follow Zhao Bailu's sedan chair, swaying and bumping as they headed towards the Gu family's residence.
Upon arriving at the Gu family's residence, Meng Yanzhi unexpectedly encountered Meng Anfeng.
When Meng Anfeng saw Meng Yanzhi, his expression changed, but he didn't say much. He just sat there coldly, clearly not intending to talk to Meng Yanzhi. He thought that Meng Yanzhi would be like before, rushing over to flatter him as soon as she saw him.
The Meng Yanzhi of today is not the same as before. She only glanced at him coldly, and then all her attention was focused on the newlyweds.
Seeing this, Meng Anfeng felt a little uneasy.
He didn't know what was going on. Before, when he was at home, Meng Anfeng could only see his younger sister, Meng Anxian. But now, when he looked at Meng Yanzhi, he felt a kind of inexplicable intimacy.
Especially seeing Meng Yanzhi's indifferent attitude towards him, Meng Anfeng felt an indescribable sense of loss.
Soon, Meng Yanzhi went to the backyard to keep Zhao Bailu company, but unexpectedly, she was intercepted by Meng Anfeng on the way.
When Meng Yanzhi faced Meng Anfeng alone, her first reaction was to be wary. Almost instinctively, she took a step back and frowned at him, asking, "What are you doing?"
"I know it's inconvenient for you with your big belly, so I brought you something." Meng Anfeng snorted and reluctantly took out a box: "This is our Meng family's ancestral White Snow Pill, which can reduce pain and bleeding during childbirth. It's not even available in the palace!"
Why give her such a precious treasure?
Meng Yanzhi did not reach out to take it, but silently stared at Meng Anfeng, and said, "Why would I give you such a good thing? You can keep it for yourselves."
"Take it if I give it to you!" Meng Anfeng stepped forward and shoved the box into Meng Yanzhi's hands, looking at her with some displeasure: "Even though you don't acknowledge this family, you are still a daughter of the Meng family. That's a fact, and no one can change it!"
Meng Anfeng paused, then looked at Meng Yanzhi: "Perhaps it's just as you said, you've been wronged at home. You're right, your father has done something wrong and should be punished. I'm not a child anymore, I should make my own achievements. After this wedding, I will go to the frontier with Zhao Dongzhi. You hate me so much, I don't want to get in your way."
Seeing Meng Anfeng like this, Meng Yanzhi felt a dull ache in her chest.
She took a deep breath and opened her mouth, intending to say something, but after opening her mouth, Meng Yanzhi realized that she had nothing to say to this person.
In the end, Meng Yanzhi said nothing, but simply took the box and walked towards Zhao Bailu's new house.
"Bai Lu, I should go back now."
"You... are alright."
Meng Yanzhi hugged Zhao Bailu, and after making sure she was alright, she turned around and strode outside.
The imperial palace, the Hehuan Courtyard.
Meng Yanzhi brought back some delicious food for Xiao Xingyuan, and happily pushed open the door, only to freeze in place.
On the ground, Xiao Xingyuan and the woman's clothes were tangled together in a mess, and the bed was still filled with the musky scent of their lovemaking.
She stood there, staring at the two people embracing tightly.
"Your Majesty, why are you back so early?"
Wang Huanhai appeared out of nowhere and asked Meng Yanzhi a question with some surprise when he saw her.
What was meant to be an accident, however, sounded like panic to Meng Yanzhi.
The things in Meng Yanzhi's hands scattered on the floor. Incredulously, she reached out and pointed tremblingly at the bed: "I shouldn't have come back, right?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? How could this be..."
"Ah! What...what's going on? How could this be..."
"Your Majesty, someone come quickly! Your Majesty!"
Wang Huanhai turned pale with fright and rushed forward, only to find that he couldn't wake Xiao Xingyuan no matter what he did.
