Chapter 149 Meng Wanran is under house arrest
Meng Wanran was panicking, her eyes gleaming with innocence: "Your Highness, I am innocent. This is not my fault. This is a great injustice."
"You and I both know the truth." Baili He turned away, leaving the room cold and Meng Wanran behind.
"Your Highness——" Meng Wanran called sadly.
Meng Wanran knelt on the ground, thinking secretly in his heart, every link was designed to be flawless, which link revealed the flaw?
She had no time to think about it, and soon the eunuch beside Bailihe brought her an order to confine her to the palace to reflect on her mistakes.
In fact, compared to the crime of murdering the royal heir, it is already a relatively minor crime.
Jiang Nianwei knew Meng Wanran's character very well. She was well aware that he was conceited and extremely harsh to his servants. Even as a soul that traveled through time from another world, he could not escape the stale feudal shackles, but was deeply trapped in them, even worse than the ancients.
Every move she carefully planned was delivered to Wen Daidai in detail in the form of a secret letter.
But no one expected that she was really pregnant, and she planned to give up the baby without any hesitation.
But it was also because of this that Bailihe became more and more disgusted with Meng Wanran.
The nanny beside Meng Wanran was very strict with her words. No matter how she was tortured, she would not change her words.
Unfortunately, the young eunuch they sent to frame her had been instigated by Wen Daidai's maid, and no one could resist the temptation of a large sum of money.
What's more, Wen Daidai promised the young eunuch that she would help him leave after the task was accomplished, which eliminated the last bit of worry in his heart.
On the surface, she calmly sent someone to tell the nanny beside Meng Wanran the "good news", saying that everything had been arranged and they were waiting for the east wind.
But in fact, this was a trap from the beginning, waiting for Meng Wanran to jump into it.
And now, she has succeeded.
Although she was injured, Wen Daidai didn't care at all. Her body was already full of holes. Compared to these, she had bigger goals and didn't want to be confined in the palace.
And her plan to deal with Meng Wanran has just begun.
The young eunuch told the prince all this truthfully, "Your Highness, my relative outside the palace is seriously ill and urgently needs money for treatment. Nanny used this as bait to lure me into becoming her pawn, but I know that Concubine Wen is of high character and I cannot bear to see her being wronged, so I dared to reveal the truth in private. I hope Your Highness will consider my loyalty and forgive this offense."
Bailihe raised his eyes and glanced at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"You have done a very thorough job this time. I will not blame you, but will reward you."
Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace." The eunuch's voice was as soft as a mosquito, but it could not hide the gratitude and relief in his heart.
Afterwards, the imperial physician, after a careful examination, slowly revealed the truth about Wen Daidai's miscarriage.
It turned out that the root of the problem was hidden in the incense she used daily. Sandalwood was quietly mixed into the faint fragrance. Although this substance was elegant, it had the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
If this continued, it would be like a hidden danger to the pregnant Wen Daidai, causing the fetus's breathing to gradually weaken and the fetus to swell. In addition, the nanny pushed her, and the fetus in her belly could not be saved.
When Baili He heard this, a storm of anger suddenly gathered between his brows, "Tan Xiang?! What a Tan Xiang!"
The maid beside him said, "Your Highness, this was sent by the Crown Princess..."
"It's her again! I knew it. I should have thought of it a long time ago."
However, the An Ning Marquis Mansion is currently a key chess piece in his plan. A single move will affect the entire structure and he cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. He cannot easily deal with Meng Wanran and can only confine her to house arrest.
"Daidai, I'm really sorry for you."
Wen Daidai shook her head, without any resentment: "Your Highness, you are too kind. Daidai is just a foreign woman. It is a great honor for me to be favored by Your Highness. Daidai can understand the concerns of Your Highness the Crown Princess. Your Highness is the crown prince of the world, and you should be kind to everyone. Daidai only hopes that Your Highness is happy, which is the greatest blessing."
"Daidai, I understand. I will keep your deep affection in my heart. When the time is right, I will not let you down."
He just felt that Wen Daidai was sensible. Although their first encounter was not pleasant, what men liked most was to conquer a proud woman like her. If it was not true love, how could he become so humble.
Although Bailihe prides himself on being a playboy, how can he compare with Wendaidai? She lives in a royal family like the Mu Kingdom, has been learning strange and lewd techniques since she was a child, and has her own way of controlling men.
It would be easy for any man with a weak mind to be seduced by her.
Meng Wanran was imprisoned in the deep palace, within the four walls, her mind was in a tangle of worries, and she was entangled in a myriad of confusions.
Unexpectedly, that little bitch Wen Dai Dai was pregnant. What was even more unexpected was that she actually gave up the baby just to put the blame on her.
Now, thinking of Wen Xiuwan's advice, she began to regret it.
If I had known this would happen earlier, I would have accepted advice with an open mind and not acted rashly in anger, which would have led to the predicament we are in today.
But now, the loss outweighs the gain. Not only did he lose his loyal nanny to the ruthless beating in the court, but even the guards he had trained with great difficulty were taken away.
The two maids newly bestowed by the prince were nominally to serve her, but in reality they were like hawks' eyes, always keeping a close eye on her, keeping her every move under surveillance.
This incident instantly turned her advantage into a severe disadvantage, putting her in the center of the storm and in a dilemma.
Fortunately, she has secretly trained several helpers, and after finding a way to pass the message on, she should be able to get their help.
Now the only place she can seek help from is the An Ning Marquisate. Leng Shiyun loves her so much, she will definitely help her.
When Leng Shiyun received the letter from the palace, she just sneered. She wanted to ask for help, but she never thought it was a death warrant.
Ever since Undede got into trouble, Bailihe has been taking care of her.
But Undaidai knew very well what kind of person Bailih was. During the day, when he had some free time, he would comfort her with sweet words, but at night he would stay in other women's palaces.
Believing in the royal family's deep affection was simply a joke. Fortunately, what she had always wanted was not illusory love.
Wen Daidai was in poor health and could no longer enjoy the emperor's favor. Although there were many beauties in the palace, none of them had her unique charm and beauty.
Bailihe felt more and more bored, so he thought of going to a brothel to have fun and look for beautiful women.
After the trip, he found that although those women were charming, they could not escape the criticism of being vulgar and far from what he wanted.
Sure enough, once the taste buds have tasted the nectar, all other things in the world suddenly lose their luster. Even the fine wines that were drinkable in the past now seem bland and tasteless.
He was about to return to the palace when he met a group of servants delivering cloth, and the two of them blocked his way.
"Don't you have eyes? Don't you recognize who is in front of you? Get out of the way quickly to avoid bumping into the noble man!" a servant scolded impatiently.
The leading servant wanted to say a few words in reply, but was stopped by Hu Lianxue who was following not far away.
"Don't worry, let this noble man go first. After all, although the road is narrow, people's hearts are broad."
Hu Lianxue realized that they came from the direction of Yingchun Tower, where dignitaries went to have fun.
Although she was anxious to deliver the fabric, she didn't want to cause any trouble.
Now she can wear a veil when doing things, which is a good progress.
Just at this moment, a strong wind blew, and the veil flew up, revealing her face which looked even more beautiful and elegant in the drizzle.
When Bailihe saw her appearance, his heart was beating fast.
Hu Lianxue swiftly picked up the veil beside her and gently put it on her head, hiding her stunning face.
Then she turned quickly and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Bailihe's gaze followed her gradually receding figure until she completely disappeared from the end of his sight, and then he slowly withdrew his gaze.
He ordered the person beside him: "Send someone to follow that woman and find out who she belongs to."
Such a fresh woman is rare in the world.
……
For several days in a row, Fu Rongxuan sent things, sometimes it was a red hairpin, sometimes it was a jade pendant or agate.
But since then, Hu Lianxue never accepted any gifts from here again.
She could not continue to be with Lord Fu. If this continued, it would tarnish their reputations. So she decided to find an appropriate time to be honest with Fu Rongxuan.
Fu Rongxuan felt relieved, thinking that it was a sign that her guard was gradually loosening and she was finally willing to accept his feelings.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lianxue took a deep breath and said, "Please don't bother sending these precious things anymore in the future."
Fu Rongxuan's heart was filled with regret. This was the strategy he came up with when he was extremely helpless and asked his sister for help. However, he never thought that facing Hu Lianxue's closed heart, all his efforts seemed pale and powerless.
Maybe she didn't like these things, and he was not good at speaking.
"I know this may be too abrupt, but I can't help myself because of my feelings. If you don't like it, I will never send you anything again."
Fu Rongxuan turned around and left without even stopping.
Hu Lianxue felt lost, and a voice in her heart kept persuading her: "That's Master Fu. You clearly have admiration for him in your heart, so why do you want to back off now? This is a match made in heaven. You are now the daughter of a marquis, and you have a noble status. You and him are a perfect match made in heaven. Why do you want to let this affection fade away so easily?"
Another voice came: "Do you remember the days in the bandit camp? Your beauty was a shackle that you could not control. The bandit leader made you suffer physical and mental torture and humiliation day and night. How many men in this world can truly let go and accept a woman who has suffered such inhuman treatment?"
She could never forget that nightmare.
Hu Lianxue finally gave up and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
This is better. After all, Lord Fu doesn’t look that sad.
