Chapter 540 Wise words
After coming out of Zhaozheng Hall, Meng Xinghe went straight to Concubine Yi's Luanyi Hall.
Although the two Meng sisters looked at each other in silence, the atmosphere was very peaceful, without a trace of tension.
"After so many years, I thought my sister had let it go."
As soon as Meng Xinghe said this, he knew that what he said was pure nonsense, and it was provocative at that.
"How can I let go of my biological mother's fate and my eldest son's grief? I have never dared to forget them over the years."
Meng Wu Yue's attitude was still very gentle, and she didn't seem angry. Instead, she began to explain to Meng Xinghe that in her opinion, her sister was as simple and naive as she was back then, and hadn't made any progress.
"So what if he's a noble concubine? The Queen is helpless. Even though he's not from the same mother, he's still my biological brother. I can't let anyone know. I want Meng Xingye's life."
Although they are not from the same mother, this is the way the world is.
Her mother and children all died because of An, but she still could not bear grudge or take revenge on An's son because she was a girl, and Meng Xingye was her half-brother and the only continuation of her biological father Meng Liu.
Your Majesty adopted her to the family of her uncle Meng Song. No matter how powerful Meng Song's family was, how prosperous their family was, or how promising their descendants were, he and Meng Xingye were no outsiders. Meng Song and his sons were still blood-related cousins.
Meng Wu Yue could only wait.
Finally, when the Seventh Prince grew up, he was able to kill his uncle Meng Xingye personally without any help, to avenge his grandmother and brother.
As for Meng Xinghe...
The expression on Concubine Yi's brows eased slightly.
"You can rest assured. The reason I took action against Meng Xingye now is because he is a man. Outside the palace, I cannot reach him. That's why I waited until Mingrui was sixteen to take action. As for you, I have been in the palace for many years and have had countless opportunities to attack you, but I didn't."
"I know all the good things you've done and your good intentions. I'm not the type to vent my anger on anyone without knowing the truth. Even if I have a grudge, I've figured it out over the years. The only person I want to target is An's precious son. As a mother, my only hope is Meng Xingye."
"It's quite interesting to see you alternately on guard against me, then relaxed, then suddenly on guard again. Your suspicious look is truly endearing, just like your kindness to my mother and your attempts to please me. I know your clumsy sincerity, and I naturally appreciate it."
"With your personality, it's no wonder His Majesty likes you. If it weren't for your mother, I..." Meng Wuyue sighed softly, "There's no point in saying more. Fate plays tricks on us."
Meng Xinghe squeezed the handkerchief in her hand slightly, causing it to curl up and wrinkle in her palm. "You know His Majesty loves my honesty and sincerity the most. Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty everything you said?"
Meng Wuyue smiled and shook his head.
Meng Xinghe was puzzled.
"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know? His Majesty simply doesn't care. It's true that Meng Xingye conquered Annan, but now Annan has been transformed into Jiaozhou. What's the point of keeping him around?"
"You mean to say 'When the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked'?"
"No, what I mean is that he's not important enough. Your Majesty has a scale in mind. I'm on one side with the Seventh Prince, and I've dragged the Fifth Prince along to compare him with Meng Xingye. And as Meng Xingye's twin sister, I didn't bring the Fourth Prince along to stand on Meng Xingye's side. The scale is so clearly tilted, isn't it?"
"After all, he is your brother, and I am your sister. We have the same interactions with Meng Xingye in the palace during the New Year holidays. Your avoidance will cause misunderstandings."
Meng Xingye became the consort of the eldest princess of Qi State. Every year, Meng Wuyue gave more rewards to the couple's house than Meng Xinghe.
Who knows what was given in private? Besides, the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess have such a good relationship.
It’s better to bury those old things.
"What's the difference between you standing in the middle and standing on my side?"
Meng Wuyue chuckled. Seeing Meng Xinghe's silence, she immediately turned cold and continued, "I can only let it go after Meng Xingye dies."
Having said this, she regained her gentle and warm demeanor and softly said, "My Seventh Princess and my sister's Eighth Princess have a very good relationship. In fact, I am very happy. Seeing their close relationship is just like seeing us sisters. If it weren't for the events of our previous generation, my sister and I would have been like the Seventh and Eighth Princesses in the palace."
Meng Wuyue sipped his tea and said with a smile, "It's been a while since I've talked so much with my sister."
