After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Meng Zhaoge understood.

Even now, Yuwen Qi still wanted to meet Meng Changning with deep affection.

It was the day after he was scolded by His Majesty for pleading for Meng Changning.

Meng Zhaoge didn't know whether to say Yuwen Qi was a romantic or a fool. Maybe he was both.

She just responded, "I know."

Then, he went out, sat down in the private room of Qianxiang Tower, and ordered a pot of tea to drink slowly.

There is a wind chime hanging outside the window.

This time, Black Hawk came only after the sun was high in the sky. As soon as he came in through the window, he was a little out of breath and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Zhaoge looked at him for a while and asked curiously, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

There was a bruise next to his eye.

"I lost the competition with His Highness." Black Hawk said calmly and openly, without any embarrassment of losing.

Meng Zhaoge thought to himself: I didn’t expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has martial arts skills.

He also told Black Hawk the purpose of looking for him this time.

Black Hawk was a little surprised after hearing this, and frowned, "Meng Changning has just been punished by His Majesty to the Ye Ting Prison. What if you do this and harm His Highness?"

Meng Zhaoge said affirmatively: "I guarantee that Your Highness will not be affected in any way."

"..." Black Hawk was very skeptical, but at the same time he knew that if he ignored her, His Highness might blame him again.

After all, His Highness wants to "stick his neck out"...

Thinking of this, Black Hawk nodded and agreed to help her convey the message.

The two of them then left Qianxiang Tower and went their separate ways.

In the Eastern Palace, Black Hawk relayed Meng Zhaoge's original words to Yuwen Lian word for word.

Yu Wenlian put down the writing brush and frowned slightly in confusion: "She and Meng Changning actually know each other?"

Black Hawk had asked Meng Zhaoge the same question before.

Then she explained it again in her own words: "She said that she is a friend of Jing Wangfei Meng Zhaoge."

"Princess Jing?" Yuwen Lian paused, not quite sure what Meng Zhaoge's face looked like.

He has never met this sixth brother's wife.

But we know that Princess Jing is the second daughter of the Meng family, and Meng Er's surname is also Meng.

Could it be that Meng Er is actually a relative of the Meng family?

However, the relationship between him and Meng Changning did not end well, and the elders of the Meng family must be aware of it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt depressed: "If she is from the Meng family, I'm afraid it will be bad for me..."

"What's wrong?" Black Hawk pricked up his ears.

Yu Wenlian reacted, embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he immediately scolded: "You are nosy."

Black Hawk shrank his neck: "Then Your Highness, do you want to help Miss Meng?"

"Help." Yu Wenlian said without any hesitation, "She has already asked, so I will naturally help."

...

Afternoon, Imperial Palace, Ye Ting.

The palace maids, dressed in rough linen clothes, were squatting on the ground, washing clothes laboriously.

Before she had finished washing the basin in front of her, a palace maid from another palace came and threw in a new pile.

Meng Changning was among them. She squatted in the corner, hitting clothes with a laundry pestle, as if to vent her anger.

Not long after, a maid came up to her and said, "Don't wash it yet. Send this embroidery to Yonghe Palace first. Concubine Su is urging you to do it."

Meng Changning felt relieved. He quickly rubbed his hands dry, took the tray, and walked out of the palace.

However, as she turned a corner, a voice came from behind her: "Miss Meng, Miss Meng."

Meng Changning immediately recognized the owner of the voice and turned around to look.

Sure enough, Li Liang was standing in the shadows and waved to her.

Meng Changning was delighted, she knew that the prince would not ignore her!

So he looked around warily, stepped forward, and asked impatiently: "Does the prince have something to say to me? Will the prince save me?"

"Miss, please be patient." Li Liang lowered his voice and said, "When the prince learned that you were sent to the palace, he was very worried and ordered me to come and see your condition first."

Meng Changning cried, "I have a very bad life here. I have to wash clothes from morning till night. I can't live like this any more."

Li Liang: "The prince also wanted to rescue you, but as soon as he mentioned it yesterday, he was severely reprimanded by His Majesty."

"What should I do?" Meng Changning was extremely scared. If Yuwen Qi couldn't save her, who could she count on?

Li Liang suppressed the gleam in his eyes and whispered, "Actually, I do have an idea, but I don't know if the young lady is willing."

Meng Changning hurriedly said: "Speak!"

"That is..." Li Liang lowered his voice and said two words mysteriously: "Faked death."

"As long as you fake your death and get away with it, the prince will find a way to bring you to the palace. From now on, you can stay with the prince under a new identity."

Meng Changning hesitated, frowned and said, "But... many people in Chai'an have seen me. If I marry into the palace, I will inevitably be seen by others. How can I hide this?"

Li Liang shook his head: "Miss is wrong."

He said, "The prince wants to take you as his concubine."

Meng Changning felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. She was stunned for a moment, and asked with trembling lips: "The prince wants me to be a concubine with no name or status?"

This is even worse than that maid Liu Xiner!

At least the woman was given the title of Ruren because she was pregnant. But the prince only wanted to keep her as a concubine who could not see the light of day!

"I don't believe the prince would treat me like this. Has he forgotten the vows we made?" Meng Changning raised his voice excitedly.

Li Liang hurriedly said, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. The prince is thinking about you. Now only by using your concubine's identity can you be hidden away and not be seen by others. When the prince ascends the throne in time, you will have your hard work paid off. You can do whatever the prince wants you to do."

He patiently coaxed: "Think about it, would you rather be a concubine for a while and be pampered by the prince, or spend your time in the palace as a slave every day?"

Meng Changning's anger suddenly subsided.

Yes, no matter how humiliating it is to be a mistress, is it more humiliating than being a slave?

But she, the eldest daughter of a general's mansion, had fallen into the trap of being a concubine...

Li Liang saw that her expression was sometimes gloomy and sometimes bright, and nodded tactfully: "Please think about it carefully first, and I will take my leave. I will come to see you again tomorrow."

So he left.

After he left, Meng Changning was in a state of confusion for the entire afternoon.

After enduring until the next day, Meng Changning made up his mind amidst endless work.

——She agreed to be Yuwen Qi’s concubine.

But on the way to find Li Liang, Meng Changning unexpectedly met another person.

The man was dressed in black and had a slender figure. He was half a head taller than Yuwen Qi.

When I got closer, I saw it was a Black Hawk.

Meng Changning's first reaction was to turn around and leave.

Her relationship with his master ended dishonorably.

What good things could Black Hawk say when he saw her?

But Black Hawk had already stood in front of her and brushed off her coarse linen clothes.

That look made Meng Changning feel extremely humiliated. She clenched her teeth but dared not say anything.

At this moment, Black Hawk stared at her and whispered, "Miss Meng, His Highness has something to tell you."
