Meng Zhaoge stood in the room, feeling cold all over.

She did not feel sorry for Yang Lin's death, as Yang Lin had done bad things, but she felt it was unfair for him.

Because Meng Changning, the mastermind behind the incident, was able to escape because of Yuwen Qi's favoritism.

Of course, this isn't the first time this has happened.

The last time Gongyang Ye died, Yuwen Qi protected Meng Changning in the same way.

Meng Zhaoge raised his eyes, looked at Yuwen Qi lifelessly, and asked him: "My Lord, do you really want to protect Meng Changning?"

Yuwen Qi held Meng Changning's hand and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It is not your turn to question this king."

"Is it not my turn, or does Your Majesty simply not dare to answer me directly?" She pressed on.

"Meng Zhaoge!"

Yuwen Qi was completely annoyed. As a prince and a husband, he could no longer tolerate Meng Zhaoge's repeated behavior.

"These days, you have contradicted me so many times, and crossed the line so many times, but I have never held it against you. Now, it is time to settle the score." He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Go back to your Plum Garden, and do not come out without my order!"

But how could Meng Zhaoge listen to him?

She stared at him and said word by word: "I, no!"

After saying that, he turned around and left: "Alie, let's go to Qianxianglou for dinner."

Yuan Jinglie gave Yuwen Qi a cold look and left with her.

Yuwen Qi stood there, staring at the departing figure in astonishment, and almost fainted from anger.

Good, very good, this woman now dares to contradict him in person!

"I will divorce her sooner or later. It's really outrageous!" He held his forehead in anger.

Meng Changning hurriedly and considerately helped him sit down and sighed softly: "Zhao Ge's temper is really getting worse and worse."

"but--"

Then she changed the subject and sobbed, "It's because of me. It's all my fault."

Yuwen Qi looked at her with a complicated expression: "Chang Ning, did you really do that?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Changning bit her lip and nodded with tears in her eyes.

"I just don't want that woman to use the child to blackmail the prince. I know that the prince didn't come to her willingly."

"And how could your eldest son crawl out of a maid's belly?" She looked at Yu Wenqi with pity in her eyes and said sadly.

"I really feel sorry for the prince, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I have long thought that if the prince knew about this and blamed me for being vicious, I would accept it -"

"Don't say that." Yuwen Qi held her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it: "You did it for me, I don't blame you."

In fact, when he learned that Liu Xiner was pregnant, he felt more worry and shame than the joy of becoming a father for the first time.

Liu Xiner was just a maid.

Just as Yuwen Fei ridiculed him today, a prince favored a maid and let the maid give birth to a child before his wife.

This is very embarrassing for him.

Chang Ning had attacked Liu Xiner. When he first found out, he was a little unhappy, but he soon got over it.

He didn't welcome the child in the first place, and Chang Ning helped him.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Qi comforted his sweetheart: "Changning, compared to that child, I care about you more."

"Your Highness..." Meng Changning was so moved that she threw herself into his arms.

In the past, her choice of Yuwen Qi was just a helpless one after Yuwen Lian's downfall.

After today, a crack did appear in her heart.

Apart from her parents, no one else was so kind to her.

Meng Changning swore in her heart, "I must marry into the Jingwang Mansion. Meng Zhaoge is not worthy of the prince."

...

The farce in Prince Jing’s mansion today has made everyone exhausted.

After Meng Zhaoge left the main hall, she did not go to Qianxiang Tower. She just wanted to piss off Yuwen Qi.

She and Yuan Jinglie went to Yunmiao Courtyard to see Liu Xiner.

Liu Xiner didn't wake up yet and slept until the night. At night, she suddenly woke up with tears in her eyes. As soon as she woke up, she shouted, "My queen, my queen."

Meng Zhaoge was guarding outside. When he heard the noise, he hurried in.

"Xin'er."

When Liu Xiner saw her, she cried even harder, "My Lady, how is it? Is the person who harmed me behind the scenes dead?"

Meng Zhaoge was silent for a moment, struggling internally.

But after hesitating, he told her the truth.

"There were three people who harmed you. Two of them died, but the last one..." She sighed, "The prince didn't kill her because she was Meng Changning, the person the prince liked."

Liu Xiner was struck by lightning.

She lay on the bed in pain, about to collapse.

"What about the safflower in the previous pregnancy-preserving medicine? Was it also her?" Liu Xiner asked anxiously.

Meng Zhaoge pursed his lips and said, "That person shouldn't be it, but I should have guessed who it is."

"Either, it's the prince himself." She said, "Or... it's Concubine Lan."

Apart from these two, no one could make Qiu Xian so scared.

Liu Xiner's face turned even paler, and she smiled bitterly and said, "My Lady, now that things have come to this, I don't know what to say."

On that day, she had a bleeding episode due to the safflower in the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.

The empress told her secretly, and the doctor did not dare to say it directly, that in fact, this baby could only be kept for another half a month at most.

She didn't expect that her fate with this child would be so short, and she hated the person who put safflower in the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

Later, the empress said that she could help her catch the murderer hiding behind Qiu Xian with this child.

She agreed, and so the trick was played at the birthday party.

When she was lying in the box and saw the mad cat, she was terrified, but for the sake of her children, she didn't call for help until she saw blood.

In her coma, she dreamed of the child. Such a small body was smiling at her. Then, it gradually disappeared.

So she woke up, only to find out that the murderer was right in front of her, but she couldn't take revenge.

Whether it was Meng Changning, the prince, or Concubine Lan, she could not shake them.

Her child died unjustly.

When Liu Xiner thought of this, she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. She hated Yuwen Qi so much in her heart!

"My queen, I am so sad. If the prince despises me, why did he touch me? Why?"

Meng Zhaoge looked at her and suddenly felt that he was so cruel.

But the bloody reality is there. It is not a good thing to always be a fool in a protective shell.

"Xin'er, I know you're sad, but Yuwen Qi is just that kind of person!" Meng Zhaoge held back her tears and said to her, "A person like him is not worth your sadness."

"If you want, I can help you leave the Jing Palace. You deserve a wider world and a better person."

Liu Xiner finally regained a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she asked her crying, "My Queen, can I really do this?"

No one had ever said such things to her since she was a child.

Her parents scolded her for being a money-loser, and she had to serve her brother ever since she was old enough to understand. She thought that this was how her life would be.

Meng Zhaoge looked at her firmly and nodded at her: "Of course, Xin'er, I promise you."

Liu Xiner's eyes were blurred with tears, and she called her with emotion: "Mother..."

...

Half a month later, Mrs. Liu, who had an unexpected miscarriage in the Prince of Jing's mansion, died of depression.

King Jing didn't care whether she lived or died. After learning about it, he just ordered people to bury her.

Meng Zhaoge presided over her "funeral ceremony".

And in a place where no one knew, the princess disguised as a man watched the woman who changed her name to Liu Zhaoxue go away.

As the sun sets, the brave girl travels far away.

Meng Zhaoge stared at the shadow of the carriage infatuatedly, muttering, "I really envy Zhaoxue."

Yuan Jinglie was slightly startled, and his eyes as clear as autumn water stared at her: "If sister is willing, you can be like Miss Liu in the future."

He whispered, "I will always be with you, no matter where you go."

With his company, Meng Zhaoge suddenly felt enlightened.

"Yes, the world is big." She smiled, "A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, so who is afraid? A raincoat will protect me throughout my life."

In the future, after she has dealt with her enemies, she can take Alie and Mohuan and leave this place of trouble.

There are thousands of mountains and rivers, but anywhere is better than that suffocating palace.
