Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 228: Ability Dependence

After saying that, he picked up the kitchen knife beside him and slashed it directly on his face.

When Meng Xiyue reacted, he saw a deep wound running through the right side of his face, with blood flowing out.

"What are you doing? If your appearance is damaged, you will never be able to take the throne."

Since ancient times, those with damaged appearance cannot become emperor.

"What does the throne have to do with me? I am Wu Feng, just a fisherman from Wujia Village."

"you…"

Meng Xiyue looked at her and could no longer hold back her tears. She was not a fool, so how could she not know who he was.

It’s just self-deception.

"Why bother? I don't like you anymore."

"The one you don't like is Xie Junyi. I'm Wu Feng, and I have nothing to do with him. It's okay if you don't like me, as long as I stay by your side."

He still said firmly that he was just Wu Feng.

"It's up to you, but let's make it clear that it's still two years. After two years, you can leave on your own."

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Meng Xiyue stopped trying to persuade him. She just wanted to keep her own heart.

Now she is not afraid of anyone.

"I have medicine for facial injuries in my room. Come with me and get it."

"No, I won't treat it."

Wu Feng shook his head and let the blood flow down his face without even frowning, as if he really didn't care about the wound on his face at all.

"Wu Feng, I don't want an ugly guy around me. If you don't apply the medicine, I will avoid you even more in the future."

Meng Xiyue's words also indicated that she would only regard him as Wu Feng from now on.

Hearing this, Wu Feng finally had a smile on his face.

"Thank you."

Thank you for still giving me a chance.

Meng Xiyue returned to the room, took out the medicine she had taken from Bai Yi before, and handed it to him.

"I can't see the wound, can Yue'er help me?"

Wu Feng said, becoming more and more demanding.

The only response he got was the sound of the door closing.

He stood at the door for a long time, until the lights in the house were turned off, then he turned and left.

Meng Xiyue was not asleep. She had always known that Wu Feng was Xie Junyi's.

But she couldn't understand why he was here when this was the critical moment in the fight for the crown prince position.

Moreover, he became Wu Feng a year ago, which means he left the capital at the same time as himself.

Doesn't he want the throne anymore? Doesn't he care about his mother, sister, and the Song family?

Meng Xiyue didn't know what was going on.

So sometimes she would feel that maybe Wu Feng and Xie Junyi were really two different people.

In her heart, it is impossible for Xie Junyi to become Wu Feng.

She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she got the mountain in exchange for him staying by her side for two years.

If he wants to follow, then let him follow. No matter who he is, she will never make the same mistake again.

In the following days, she was busy with her own affairs, and Wu Feng stayed in the yard, reading books and playing chess every day.

He waited for her to come back, ate with her, chatted with her, and except for being a little overly concerned about her, he was just like a real book boy.

The two lived together peacefully for a year.

During this year, Nan Rongzhi produced a batch of guns, and she secretly trained a group of guards to use guns.

In the court, Nan Rongzhi has more and more supporters, and her momentum is gradually equal to that of the eldest prince.

Only then did the eldest prince and Prime Minister Zhao realize that something was wrong.

Nan Rongxin ran to Meng Xiyue in anger.

At this time, Meng Xiyue and Wu Feng were playing chess. Seeing him coming, Meng Xiyue stood up and saluted.

"Prince, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Meng Xiyue, have you been playing tricks on me all this time?" Nan Rongxin's brows were full of sinisterness.

"Prince, let's talk inside the house?"

Meng Xiyue extended her hand to invite him in. Nan Rongxin snorted coldly and walked into the house.

Meng Xiyue followed behind and walked in.

Wu Feng had been sitting in the yard, but his eyes never left the room.

Inside the house, Meng Xiyue poured a cup of tea and handed it to Nan Rongxin, "Is the eldest prince angry about the matter of the charity hall?"

The charity hall she and Nan Rongzhi set up has already started operating. During the severe flooding in the northwest two months ago, half of the relief funds came from their charity hall.

As a result, the charity hall became famous and Nan Rongzhi's prestige reached an unprecedented high.

Today, the court was filled with voices praising the prince, and Nan Rongxin could no longer sit still.

"You and Nan Rongzhi co-founded the shelter. At that time, I hadn't tried to win you over yet, so you can ignore it. But why did you help her with this charity hall? Have you been playing tricks on me from the beginning to the end?"

The eldest prince clearly felt that his current power was gradually weakening.

Not only the ministers in the court, but also some new heads of aristocratic families all joined Nan Rongzhi's name.

Originally, he looked down upon those small families.

But now the existence of the charity hall has attracted many wealthy families who value reputation. They have seen the benefits and want to join in.

This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

Meng Xiyue lowered her head and smiled, "Prince, I am a businessman, maximizing my profits. Whether it's you, the Crown Prince, or the King of Zhennan, you and I are now in a cooperative relationship. I will rely on whoever can bring me the greatest benefits. I have never made a choice."

"But I have promised you the throne, isn't that enough?"

Nan Rongxin frowned. If it weren't for the master's prophecy, he would have gotten rid of Meng Xiyue long ago based on what she had done.

"The queen seat? But you haven't sat in that position yet. This promise is too illusory."

Meng Xiyue raised her eyebrows and continued, "I am from Yuanqing. I have no one to rely on here. I just want to find the biggest backer. I am more optimistic about you, the eldest prince, but I can't put all my chips on you. I have to weigh the pros and cons."

"Are you weighing the pros and cons? From what I see in your mind, everything you do is to help Nan Rongzhi?"

Once Nan Rongxin becomes suspicious, he won't be so easily fooled.

"Grand Prince, I am still the prince's man on the surface. If I don't help her, wouldn't it make people suspicious? Moreover, the prince is just taking up the name of this shelter and charity hall. I am their real owner. If I want to find someone to cooperate with, it's just a matter of a word."

Meng Xiyue continued to comfort him, "I only know that the eldest prince has the support of the noble family, but the position of crown prince still lies with the crown prince. To be honest, once the emperor is gone, the only person who can legitimately succeed to the throne is the crown prince."

"And how will you, the eldest prince, realize the promised position of queen?"

"You don't believe in this prince?"

Nan Rongxin frowned, "This prince just didn't do anything to her. Do you think she, a nominal crown prince, can really succeed to the throne?"

"But from what I see right now, the prince has more advantages." Meng Xiyue blinked her innocent eyes and said helplessly.

"I just want to protect myself. I hope the eldest prince can understand me."
