"he died!"

"Meng Yunshang, listen carefully. I said Song Jinyan is dead and will not come back to life."

"It's not like that!" Meng Yunshang shook her head with tears in her eyes. Song Jinyan was not really dead. She was being framed by someone.

Seeing this, Lu Chenxiao pinched her chin.

As if possessed by an evil spirit, he whispered in her ear, "Meng Yunshang, ah Meng Yunshang, your self-immolation was fake, and the real reason was that you wanted to use Lu Huaian to escape from the palace and find him."

"I don't!

Her chin was pinched and it hurt, the wound on her forehead was also aching, and the burned arm was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat.

But none of these were as painful as hearing his ruthless decision with my own ears.

He said, "Everyone in Xianyunyuan failed to protect their master, so they were all beaten to death."

"My lord, please spare my life!"

The constant cries for mercy made Meng Yunshang's face lose all color.

She knew that Lu Chenxiao was forcing her.

Just like every quarrel before, he would always use the people or things that she cared about most to force her to compromise.

Meng Yunshang endured the pain in her body, frowned and whispered, "Lu Chenxiao, let's talk."

"What to talk about?"

"How come you can't forget Song Jinyan and want to abandon your husband and children to be with him?"

Lu Chenxiao showed sarcasm on his face, and didn't believe that she would talk properly.

Meng Yunshang handed Huai'an to Dangui beside her and said, "Ask Doctor Liu to come back and check on the prince."

"Mother~" Huai'an looked at her reluctantly with tears in his eyes.

He was so afraid that his mother would go back to ignoring him as before, and he wanted to watch her all the time.

Meng Yunshang felt soft-hearted when he looked at her, and she said in a gentle voice, "Mother, please say a few words to your father."

"Huaian will definitely be good. After mother finishes talking to father, can you come and take a look at Huaian?"

The little fellow looked at Meng Yunshang flatteringly, his bright deer eyes full of caution.

Afraid of being rejected.

Meng Yunshang leaned over, kissed his forehead, and promised, "Mom will definitely come to see Huai'an."

"That's a deal!"

After getting Meng Yunshang's affirmative nod, he urged Dangui, "Take me to treat the wound quickly, I have to smell the fragrance before mother is done."

Dan Gui looked at Lu Chen Xiao quietly, and when she saw that he had no objection, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated while holding Huai An.

Meng Yunshang saw her fear of Lu Chenxiao, turned to Lu Chenxiao and bowed, asking:

"Most of the people in Xianyun Court were brought by me from Shangshu Mansion. Can Your Majesty let me handle them?"

Lu Chenxiao sneered, "The entire Hengwang Mansion belongs to me. Can't I handle a few servants?"

"Does the prince intend to be at loggerheads with me forever? Or if the fire doesn't kill me, the prince intends to force me to death himself?"

That's really rude.

"Meng Yunshang!"

Lu Chenxiao's face suddenly darkened, and the pressure from his body poured out, and cold air raged around him.

Even though Meng Yunshang didn't understand him, she knew that he was on the verge of a rage at this moment.

She pinched her palms, trying to calm herself down.

After a moment of silence, she tried to soften her voice, "Huai'an is still young, he needs his mother, and even more so his father. So, Lu Chenxiao, let's live in peace."

"Peaceful coexistence? I thought you, Meng Yunshang, had become smarter, but now it seems you are still as stupid as a pig."

"I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have believed everything I heard. I should have verified the news with you when I received it."

If she had found Lu Chenxiao immediately, she would have known that the secret letter sent to Xianyun Courtyard was a conspiracy specifically targeting her.

They wouldn't have been plotted against and lost their lives, causing Lu Chenxiao and Huai'an to not have a good end.

"You were wrong only for not verifying the situation with the king?"

The mockery in Lu Chenxiao's eyes could not be contained at all.

Meng Yunshang frowned, "Let's write off the past. I will work hard in the future to be Huai'an's favorite mother and a qualified Heng Wangfei."

Let Meng Yunshang, who loves Song Jinyan, die in the fire. The one who lives on is only Princess Heng, who wants to raise Huai'an with her love and wish him a long life.

Lu Chenxiao was not satisfied with this answer.

A strong chill gathered on his face again, and he questioned Meng Yunshang word by word, "Do you think this king cares about you? There is no one in the capital who is more suitable to be the Heng Wangfei than you."

"Since the prince doesn't want me, then give me a letter of divorce. I will take Huai'an away from the palace and will never bother the prince again."

"You're dreaming!"

Lu Chenxiao was furious and slapped out with his empty palm. The old tree in the yard that the two of them had slapped together was instantly broken in half.

Meng Yunshang stepped back in fear, looking at him with horror.

Lu Chenxiao felt suffocated and opened his mouth to say something, but ended up walking away in anger.

Meng Yunshang's eyes dimmed. Lu Chenxiao was unwilling to let her go, but also unwilling to believe that she would be a good Princess Heng.

How to continue in the future?

"Princess," someone called softly.

They were even more frightened than Meng Yunshang. Even though Lu Chenxiao had already walked far away, they were still trembling and lying on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Meng Yunshang came back to her senses and looked at them, her tone indifferent and calm, "Xianyun Courtyard has been burned down. I will temporarily live with the prince in Anranju, and you will move to Hefeng Courtyard. Everything else remains the same."

"Then the prince's order..."

The prince said he would beat them all to death.

Although they seemed to be angry with the princess, if the princess wanted to make a fuss about it, their lives would still be in danger.

"That's it."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy and they shouted thank you, princess, for sparing their lives.

"Sister Dangui, has mother finished talking to father? When will she come to see me?"

"Sister Danqiu, are you sure there is no blood smell on me? Mother loves cleanliness. If there is still blood smell on me, it will offend mother. You should help me smell it again."

"Sister Dangui, mother hugged me today. I am so happy. This is the first time mother hugged me and she even kissed me."

"I like my mother. I like her the most. Even if she doesn't like me, I still like her the most. My mother is the best mother in the world."

Meng Yunshang stood in the corridor, listening to Huai'an chattering like a little bird in the room.

She couldn't help but curl her lips and smile. This was the joy and liveliness that a four-year-old child should have.

"Why hasn't mother come yet? No, I have to go check on her. What if mother forgot to come and see me..."

The sound of little fleshy feet stepping on the floor could be heard, and Dangui's anxious voice reminded her from behind, "Prince, please run slower."

Meng Yunshang walked towards the door.

The little guy happened to run to the doorstep, and when he saw Meng Yunshang, he immediately looked up with shining eyes and shouted, "Mom!"

Meng Yunshang slowly squatted down and gently stroked his head with her intact hand.

This change of hers was completely different from before, which startled Huai'an. He took two steps back to avoid her hand.

After standing still, I regretted my actions.

He raised his eyes cautiously and looked at Meng Yunshang, fearing that she would question him.

Meng Yunshang looked at her hand that had fallen in mid-air, and silently withdrew it. Then she asked softly, "Have you treated the wound?"

Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded rapidly, "Sister Dangui applied medicine to me, and Sister Danqiu helped me wipe my body and changed me into new clothes."

"Mom, Huai'an doesn't stink anymore. Can you hold Mom's hand?"

He likes his mother's hands, which are fragrant and soft, and feel warm when touching his head.

He just missed the opportunity and now he has to take the initiative to get it back.

Meng Yunshang held out her retracted hand in front of him, then chuckled and said, "Of course!"

"Great! I can hold Mom's hand!"

Huai'an jumped for joy, and his beautiful and lively deer eyes were filled with the shadow of Meng Yunshang.
