If Concubine Lan had any respect for her, she would not do such a thing.

The fact that Concubine Lan did this only proves one thing - she didn't treat her as a human being. In Concubine Lan's eyes, she was a puppet that could be manipulated at will.

Meng Zhaoge is not a cheap person, why should she be treated like a puppet?

She suppressed her anger and continued, "If the prince doesn't want to divorce, you can just divorce me. It doesn't matter what, just let me go."

Yuwen Qi seemed to be struck, and looked at her in shock: "You actually said such a thing just to leave?"

Being divorced is such a humiliation for a woman.

"I know what consequences I have to bear, but it is better than being suspected by my husband and mother-in-law for no reason." Meng Zhaoge said immediately.

Yuwen Qi took her hand and led her to the room, "Come in, I have something to tell you."

Meng Zhaoge tried to break free, but Yuwen Qi was much stronger than her.

After being taken to the room, Yuwen Qi closed the door, held her shoulders, and explained in a low voice: "Zhao Ge, listen to me, I didn't know that my mother would do this."

He paused, and said helplessly: "My mother's behavior is absurd. The Queen Mother has punished her. I will go to the palace and explain it to my mother later..."

With just a few words, he cleared himself of all charges.

But Meng Zhaoge didn't appreciate it: "Isn't it because the prince suspected me and Pei Yu that made mother have such thoughts?"

Yuwen Qi was silent for a while, "Of course I doubt you, but there are reasons for it."

"Just because I helped Pei Yu prepare medicine?"

"Of course not!" Yuwen Qi didn't know what he was thinking about, and said angrily: "You went to Ruyi Hall before and didn't tell anyone. He was also your savior. You were alone together for more than ten days! You even knew his taste and brought him food!"

"Zhao Ge, tell me, if I get along with other women like this, would you think too much?"

After calming down, Yuwen Qi told her: "You should also put yourself in my shoes and think about me, right?"

The light in Meng Zhaoge's eyes gradually dimmed, and he pursed his lips speechlessly.

She finally understood that the whole incident was caused by that pan-fried bun.

Yuwen Qi held her hand again and said gently, "I don't think there is anything between you and Pei Yu. I just want to tell you that husband and wife should understand each other."

"I was indeed unaware of what my mother did today. I didn't expect her to be so extreme. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Meng Zhaoge looked at him in surprise.

This was the first time in two lifetimes that Yu Wenqi apologized to her.

Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Yuwen Qi comforted her, "You were frightened. Take a good rest first. I will ask someone to send you some ice silk from the East China Sea. You will definitely like it."

"In short, Zhaoge, don't talk about divorce anymore. I can't divorce you, let alone divorce you." As he said this, he kissed her forehead.

Meng Zhaoge's heart sank.

After Yuwen Qi left, she fell on the couch with a headache and realized: she seemed to have "provoked" Yuwen Qi.

No matter how much sincerity he showed on the surface, his attitude towards her was no longer the same as in his previous life. Instead, he cared about her very much.

Then it would be much more difficult for her to escape from Prince Jing's Mansion in the future...

In the evening, Meng Ruyuan came back from outside.

I don't know where she went, but when she came back, she looked a little unhappy, as if she was thinking about something.

She was about to go back to her room when Mo Huan stopped her: "Cousin, the queen is looking for you."

Meng Ruyuan had no choice but to go see Meng Zhaoge first.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Meng Zhaoge sitting on the couch with a sad face, staring blankly at the candlestick and wiping away tears. There were still red marks on his wrists from being strangled.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Meng Ruyuan was shocked and hurried forward to ask.

"As I wished, you are finally back!" Meng Zhaoge suddenly grabbed her hand and cried, "You don't know what happened just now. The prince... the prince wanted to bully me!"

Meng Ruyuan's eyes widened in shock, and she didn't react for a moment: "How...how could this happen? Sister, is there any misunderstanding between you and the prince?"

"There is no misunderstanding. He suspected that Pei Yu and I had an affair, so he came up with this way to prove my innocence." Meng Zhaoge pulled open his collar and showed her the red mark on his neck.

Meng Ruyuan was shocked when he saw it.

King Jing is so cruel...

"So, sister, what are you going to do?"

"Whose legitimate wife would be humiliated like this? I can't stay in the palace any longer!" Meng Zhaoge straightened his collar and said firmly, "I'm going to find Pei Yu and leave Chai'an with him."

Meng Ruyuan almost thought she had heard it wrong, "Sister, if the prince finds out about this, he will..."

"I don't care what he thinks. Has he ever cared about my feelings?" Meng Zhaoge said angrily. She had lost her mind.

Then he asked, "Ruyuan, do you want to come with me?"

Meng Ruyuan paused: "Me?"

"Yes, if you stay in the palace, when Yuwen Qi finds out that I'm missing, he will definitely vent his anger on you."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Meng Ruyuan thought for a moment and analyzed: "If I follow my sister, I will be too conspicuous and easy to be discovered."

"Why don't you...sister leave first, and I'll stay in the palace to buy time for you. After a few days, I'll go back to the Meng family under the pretext of visiting my uncle and aunt."

She arranged it very carefully.

Meng Zhaoge thought this was a good idea. She nodded and hugged Meng Ruyuan.

"As you wish, thank you for your trouble."

Meng Ruyuan said gently: "We are sisters, there is no need to say this."

Taking advantage of the night, Meng Zhaoge, with the help of Meng Ruyuan and Mo Huan, left the Prince of Jing's Mansion through the low wall in the backyard.

Xingmolou was completely unaware of all this.

The next day, after leaving court, Yuwen Qi came to Meiyuan.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Liu Yuan.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is not feeling well today and said she doesn't want to see anyone."

Yuwen Qi didn't take it seriously and continued to move forward, "I'll just take a look at her."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yuan knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed: "You can't go in, the queen has already fallen asleep."

Such a violent reaction made Yu Wenqi suspicious.

His thick eyebrows pressed down his leopard-like eyes, and his sharp gaze looked towards the tightly closed door.

The next moment, he kicked Liu Yuan away and walked away with big strides.

"Zhao Ge!" He kicked the door open, calling her name, and saw a sudden figure on the bed.

Yuwen Qi slowed down his pace, slowly sat down beside the bed, and held her hand. "I heard from your maid that you are not feeling well?"

But when he lowered his eyes, he found something wrong with that hand.

This hand does not belong to Meng Zhaoge.

Yu Wenqi's eyebrows were cold, and he shook off the hand violently, "Who are you? Where is the princess?"

The figure turned around tremblingly, revealing a frightened face.

"Your Majesty, I...I..."

"Meng Ruyuan?" Yuwen Qi pursed his lips and asked sharply, "Where is Zhaoge?"

Meng Ruyuan was so scared that she got up from the bed, knelt on the ground, and cried, "I don't know, please don't ask, Your Majesty."

In this situation, even the dumbest person would realize that something is wrong.

Meng Zhaoge, his wife, ran away.
