Meng Yue's face turned pale when she came out of the royal study. Now it was too late and impossible to persuade Meng Xin to stop. So what should she do?
Yes, she was going to see if the woman who looked exactly like Xena was her daughter. If so, she would at least avoid conflict between their sisters.
But Xiaohong, who was walking beside her, reminded her softly at this moment,
"Princess, those guards have been following us since we came out of the imperial study. What do they want to do?"
Meng Yue, who was concentrating on thinking about something, didn't notice anyone following them closely. When Xiao Hong said this, she stood still and glanced back. Seeing this, those few people stopped and lowered their heads. .
Meng Yue shook her head helplessly and continued to move forward, humming softly,
"He wants to keep me under house arrest."
After saying this, she raised her eyebrows, showed a sarcastic smile, then changed her direction and headed towards the ancestral hall.
Although the servants in the entire palace would call her Princess when they saw her and show their admiration for her, but who knew that it was just an empty title. How easy would it be for her to go out so blatantly?
"Xiaohong, go and invite the queen..."
The only one who can help her now is the Queen. There are some things she should confess to her.
The queen might have known that she would come to him for help, so when she raised her head after saying this, she saw the queen standing at the door of the ancestral hall, looking at her with a gentle face.
She was not very familiar with this queen because she had not yet married Meng Xin when she left Chu State. When she returned from Daning State, she had become the queen of Chu State.
And because after she came back, she went directly to the ancestral hall without staying in the palace for a few days. She stayed there for more than twenty years. During this period, they only met twice, and it was because of Xina.
Of course, she was still very grateful to her for raising Xina. In order to prevent Xina from living a lonely life with her in this ancestral hall, she resolutely handed her over to the queen to raise.
Even if she had ten thousand reasons for not keeping Xina by her side, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. This was an indisputable fact. In her heart, she not only felt owed to Xina, but also to the queen. gratitude.
There are many things about this queen that make her admire and shine, otherwise she would not be the only woman in Meng Xin's harem so far.
Of course, the queen must not know about her relationship with Meng Xin. In fact, not many people in Chu knew about it, because before she was fourteen years old, she thought she was Meng Xin's biological sister, but she was older than her. Meng Xin, who was only a few years old, had long known about her life experience and had developed a love for her.
The man she had always regarded as her brother wanted to be her man. This was something she could not accept no matter what, so she chose to escape. But she never expected that Meng Xin would have such deep feelings for her. , she escaped for five years, and he searched for her for five years. After finding her, he used various means to bring her back.
Every time she thought about this, she felt extremely tortured deep in her heart. She could have had a happy life, with a man who loved her, and daughters she loved, but all of this was interrupted because of Meng Xin's selfishness. .
She originally thought that sacrificing her own happiness could bring Liu Dechang's safety and peace, but she didn't expect that all this was still unavoidable. Now her two daughters actually met on the battlefield. This is What an irony.
"came back?"
The queen's words interrupted her thoughts. She looked up at her and smiled softly, "Are you waiting for me?" She showed a long-lost smile to the queen. She had not smiled for a long time since she returned to Chu Kingdom. .
The queen looked at her in surprise, and nodded with a smile on her face.
"I know you will definitely come to find me, so I came to wait for you in advance."
The queen's words surprised Meng Yue, but she still gave her a soft smile and motioned to Xiao Hong to open the door.
This time she did not enter the ancestral hall directly, but went to the main hall on the other side.
Here, simplicity makes people feel comfortable.
After the two sat down, Meng Yue took the lead and said:
"Queen, do you know why I asked you to come?"
This time the Queen came, she was not as anxious as last time. She picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, and then whispered softly:
"You want to leave the palace, but your brother will send someone to watch you..."
After saying this, she looked up at her with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Meng Yue turned the tea cup in her hand with a suspicious face and nodded in admiration.
"The Queen is indeed an extremely smart woman, so are you willing to help me?"
"I don't want to help you, I just don't want to see Xina and her sister meet on the battlefield and kill each other..."
After saying this, the queen raised her shrewd eyes and looked at Meng Yue, "The woman who looks exactly like Xina is also your daughter, right?"
She knew that there were some things that Meng Yue should say.
Sure enough, when Meng Yue heard her question, tangled eyes flashed in her cloudy eyes, and then she nodded sadly,
"Well, I know there are some things you are curious about. In that case, I don't want to hide anything from you anymore..."
After saying this, she looked at the door with her deep gaze, and continued with an empty look in her eyes:
"Do you know my relationship with Meng Xin? In fact, we are not brothers and sisters..."
Her words made the queen look at her in astonishment. Isn't Meng Xin her biological brother? She really didn't know about this.
Meng Yue looked at her surprised look and smiled softly, "You definitely don't know, because only Meng Xin and I know about this matter in this world, and because of this, he developed feelings for me, and In order to escape this embarrassing relationship, I chose to leave Chu State. After many twists and turns, I arrived in Daning State..."
Speaking of this, her memory went back to more than twenty years ago.
Back then, she went to Daning Country alone and came to Rongcheng, which was relatively close to Chu Country. At that time, she just wanted to get as far away from Chu Country as possible. Her daily leg strength was limited, so she decided to rest in Rongcheng for one night.
But before she could go to the inn, her purse and luggage were stolen. Unaccompanied and penniless, she ended up living on the street.
In such a miserable situation, she was also targeted by a few gangsters. When those people tried to take her to a dark alley to bully her, a voice appeared out of thin air,
"stop……"
The moment she raised her head, she saw a man who looked like a god appearing in front of her. The reason why she used these two words to describe it was because the man was wearing a battle armor at the time and had just returned from the war. He was on his way back to the capital. , temporarily staying in Rongcheng.
The man rescued her and gave her ten taels of silver, but before she could even say a complete word of thanks to him, he disappeared in front of her.
