Chapter 212 (2/2)
”Yes, it's strange,” Meng Qianzhong nodded slightly and smiled softly. ”General Xie doesn't have it, nor does Mrs. Xie. How can you have Yingmei.”
Xie Yingmei smiled a few times. Suddenly, her heart stagnated, her eyes widened suddenly, and looked at him in horror, ”emperor, you...”
”I'm fine,” Meng Qianzhong tightened his strength and held her in his arms. ”You don't have to worry about my body. Just raise our children.”
Xie Yingmei gasped and looked as pale as paper. ”What did you say, Emperor... My concubine can't understand...”
Meng Qianchong's hand gently covered her stomach, but his words implied a force, ”I know everything. You dare to enter the palace instead of the princess of the state of Qin with such a conspicuous birthmark. It's really a great skill.”
Xie Yingmei bit her lips and pinched her fingers on his arm. ”How did the emperor know? I thought you didn't know anything.”
”Imperial concubine de and imperial concubine Ru should have seen you before, but they still didn't recognize you. It seems that I'm more powerful,” Meng Qianchong said with a mist on his eyes. ”But how did you survive? Did general Luo let you go?”
Xie Yingmei was still shocked for a long time, and didn't know how to answer him.
”You still want to hide it from me,” Meng Qianchong curved his lips. ”General Xie won't still be in the world. It seems that the combat effectiveness of Mu Jiajun can't be underestimated. General Luo's youth is not your opponent.”
Xie Yingmei touched her stomach and felt a small life moving in it. She seemed to have gained strength. She said in a trembling voice: ”emperor, I met the princess's wedding team on the road. I found that the princess was not willing to marry to Qi. She missed her hometown and set foot on this road instead of her.”
”I see, but I don't want to marry the princess born of a concubine who came out of the wall. You surprised me,” Meng Qianzhong lifted her chin with great interest. ”If Mu Jiajun didn't rebel, you should come to the palace to be my concubine.”
”Emperor,” Xie Yingmei's body trembled gently, ”emperor, my concubine knows that her crime is terrible. Please punish her.”
”What punishment?” Meng Qianzhong shook his head, held her in his arms and touched her hair. ”You're not a crime. My children left for no reason. Only your children stayed. Don't worry. I won't hurt your children.”
Xie Yingmei was stunned. Her eyes were wet with tears. ”My concubine, thank the Emperor...”
Meng Qian made a catchy gesture again. ”After all, you are the daughter of the sinner. I can forgive you, but if others know your true identity, they may sue me.”
Xie Yingmei quickly nodded and swore, ”my concubine will never tell. No one in the palace will know my identity.”
”That's good,” Meng Qianzhong nodded contentedly. ”Now we just have to wait for our children to come to the world.”
”This should be the last time I'll visit you,” Jiang Jinwen lowered her head and straightened her sleeves, not daring to look him in the eyes. ”Soon you'll go out of the palace. Later, you'll fly away to other places. Don't be in the imperial city again.”
”Are you still worried about me?” Meng Yuanzhen looked at her deeply. ”Didn't you emphasize that you are min Jieyu several times? Now you should care more about your situation.”
Jiang Jinwen was stunned and said strangely, ”what situation do I have?”
”Don't you have a bed now,” Meng Yuanzhen snorted. ”The emperor is really not interested in you. Did Lord Jiang add any problems to the emperor in the imperial court?”
”You don't have to mind these things,” Jiang Jinwen sighed gently. ”The harem can't interfere in government affairs, and I can't manage my father's affairs.”
”You and Princess de live together. It's not like Princess de anyway. She and general Luo are brothers and sisters,” Meng Yuanzhen stretched out his hand to take her shoulder. ”There are more disputes in the Imperial Palace than you think. The emperor doesn't want to go to you because of Lord Jiang.”
”It's none of your business,” Jiang Jinwen said. She pushed away his hand, bowed her head and looked at him strangely. ”How can you, a man under house arrest, still care about the affairs of the imperial court.”
Meng Yuanzhen smiled, ”didn't you say that the harem can't interfere in government affairs? Why do you ask me? Are you still thinking about me?”
”If you talk nonsense again, I'll invite concubine Qi down from above,” Jiang Jinwen increased her tone and stared at him. ”People still think of you. Do you want to try again.”
Meng Yuanzhen put away his smile and shook his hand seriously, ”no, since I don't like her, I won't give her any more hope that is difficult to achieve, but is there any problem with your relationship with her?”
”It's not you...” Jiang Jinwen bit her lower lip again and felt it was inconvenient to say this to him. ”Our identity is different. She can still leave the palace. I'll spend my life here. It's different after all.”
Meng Yuanzhen's eyes became deeper and deeper. ”I won't let you spend your life here. I won't leave the imperial city. I want to show the emperor my determination to stay in the imperial court.”
Jiang Jinwen's eyes suddenly widened, ”are you crazy? You're not afraid that the emperor will repent and put you in the palace one day, and do you think he will let a traitor return to the court?”
”He will,” Meng Yuanzhen smiled placidly at her. ”Relying on two old ministers, Lord Jiang and general Zhuang, he may be unable to move a step in the imperial court.”
