After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Looking at Qiao Nian's smile, Mrs. Meng didn't feel happy at all.

As the mistress of the Meng family, how could she not see that Qiao Nian's smile at this moment was not as gentle and friendly as it appeared on the surface.

It's more like a smiling tiger, looking gentle, but actually it can bite them and make them bleed without any intention!

But they couldn't afford to offend any of the people behind Qiao Nian.

What's more, Qiao Nian didn't try to stop them today. She was the one who cared about the reputation of the Meng family and didn't want to take Meng Yingzhi away by force!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng felt more and more depressed, but she still had to force a smile at Qiao Nian before leaving with her people.

Looking at Madam Meng's back, the smile on Qiao Nian's face slowly faded.

Ning Shuang came close to Qiao Nian and couldn't help but whisper, "This is Miss Meng's biological mother. Would she harm Miss Meng? Are you worrying too much?"

"I'm not worrying too much. I'm just a living example, so I naturally think more carefully." Qiao Nian said slowly, his eyes fell on Meng Yingzhi.

At this moment, Meng Yingzhi was still sitting there quietly. Golden osmanthus petals fell in front of her eyes. She took a while to react before she slowly lowered her head and looked at the petals falling on her dress.

In fact, if Mrs. Meng hadn't said "I didn't know Meng Yingzhi was injured like that" today, Qiao Nian might have personally sent Meng Yingzhi to the Meng family's carriage.

Since they are close relatives, how could they not know about it for four or five years?

Isn't this just like when the Marquis's Mansion left her in the laundry department for three years and ignored her?

But the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a laundry house, and Meng Yingzhi was going to be a legitimate wife, not a servant. How could she not know anything about it?

In addition, she had already suspected that the Queen's poison was also caused by the Meng family, and she felt that the Meng family might not be safer than the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she retreated and kept Meng Yingzhi.

She couldn't let Meng Yingzhi fall into the tiger's mouth just after escaping from the wolf's den.

At least, nothing can happen to Meng Yingzhi before finding out the truth about who poisoned Brother Xiao and the antidote.

Qiao Nian didn't know that when her eyes were on Meng Yingzhi, Ningshuang's gaze never left her.

When she said without feeling, "I am the living example," the sadness in Ningshuang's eyes almost overflowed.

Ningshuang felt very sad when she thought about the suffering her young lady had endured over the years and the difficulties she had faced along the way.

But fortunately, the young lady has finally made it.

Even, he could protect other girls.

very nice.

The next day, Qiao Nian entered the palace.

It just so happened that the emperor was also in the queen's bedroom today, which saved Qiao Nian a lot of trouble.

After checking the pulses of the two, the emperor asked, "How is the girl from the Meng family?"

Qiao Nian guessed that the emperor's visit to the queen's palace today was more or less related to Meng Yingzhi, and immediately said, "Miss Meng was upset the day before yesterday, which made my treatment in the past few days useless. However, her mood stabilized yesterday, and I believe she will recover soon."

Hearing this, the Emperor nodded slightly, but then he listened to the Queen speaking, "I heard that the Meng family went to the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion to pick someone up yesterday. Did they take him away?"

The news came pretty fast!

Qiao Nian answered truthfully, "She has not been taken away. Miss Meng now seems to only recognize me. Once someone approaches her, she will cry and struggle. Even Madam Meng got her hand scratched. Therefore, Miss Meng is still living in the palace."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, "In that case, it must have been hard work for you."

Before he finished speaking, the Queen followed up, "Your Majesty, I also feel that Master Qiao is too hard-working. Not only does he have to take care of Yingzhi, but he also has to take care of the concubines in the palace. How about bringing Yingzhi to my palace? After all, Master Qiao is only temporarily staying at Prince Pingyang's Mansion now, and it would be a bit inappropriate for him to bring someone to live there now."

To the Prince Pingyang's Palace, Qiao Nian was just a guest. How could a guest bring another guest to live there?

What's more, why would a girl from the Meng family live in Prince Pingyang's mansion for no reason?

The emperor also felt that it would be more appropriate for Meng Yingzhi to live in the queen's bedroom rather than in Prince Pingyang's palace.

After all, the queen is Meng Yingzhi's aunt, so there is nothing wrong with bringing her here to recuperate.

But he still frowned and said, "But just now, Lord Qiao said that the girl from the Meng family only recognizes her now. If we bring her here, she might make a lot of noise and disturb your recovery."

The emperor's words were entirely out of concern for the queen, and his tone was extremely gentle, which only made the queen blush.

But she still said softly, "It's okay, just bring Master Qiao to live in the palace."

Since Meng Yingzhi only recognizes Qiao Nian, let Qiao Nian stay with Meng Yingzhi in the Queen's bedroom.

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's face froze slightly.

But the Queen thought this was a great idea. "This way, Master Qiao can be spared the trouble of traveling so much."

The emperor naturally thought that this suggestion was good, but he looked at Qiao Nian and asked, "What do you think, Qiao Aiqing?"

Of course not!

She already had many objections to the palace, so how could she possibly want to live in it?

But since Qiao Nian is now the princess's man on the surface, he is naturally in the same group as the princess and the queen.

How could she refuse the Queen's proposal?

At that moment, he could only bow and say, "Thank you for your care, Her Majesty. I would be honored to receive your kindness."

Such an answer would make people feel that she thought it was a great thing to live in the queen's bedroom.

Sure enough, when the queen heard Qiao Nian's answer, a smile appeared in her eyes.

The emperor also smiled and said, "In that case, after you visit Concubine Xu, go back to the mansion and bring the girl from the Meng family into the palace!"

The Queen's smile froze when she heard the words "Concubine Xu" coming from the Emperor's mouth.

Qiao Nian pretended not to see it and replied respectfully, "Yes."

Unexpectedly, the Queen asked, "Speaking of Concubine Xu, I clearly asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take good care of her, but how come I heard that her health is getting worse day by day? Lord Qiao is an excellent doctor, and he has visited Concubine Xu several times. What can he diagnose?"

It was obvious that he wanted Qiao Nian to personally excuse her in front of the emperor.

This was to prevent Concubine Xu from being killed twice and the Emperor from suspecting her.

How could Qiao Nian not know?

He then said, "Concubine Xu is born with a weak body. No matter how many supplements the Queen bestows on her, she will not be able to recover. Moreover, she has to feed two people now, so she will become even weaker."

Hearing this, the emperor sighed slightly, "It's no wonder that others say she is unlucky. So, do you think it's possible to save the baby in her belly?"

As expected, the emperor had always been concerned only about the fetus in Concubine Xu's belly.

Qiao Nian did not answer immediately, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards the queen.

The queen had a gentle look on her face, but there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
