The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Mrs. Xue, now that you're here, don't you think it's too late to leave?" Meng Jincheng's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and that ugly look was intimidating.

Xue Jinhua frowned. At this point, she had realized very clearly that Meng Jincheng's motive for rescuing her was not simple.

"Lord City Lord, what do you mean?" Although Xue Jinhua knew it in her heart, she still couldn't hold back her temper and blurted out, "Lord City Lord should know my feelings. The City Lord saved me. Could it be that he already knew my true identity from the beginning and used my identity to coerce Ling Yan?"

Meng Jincheng's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he slowly responded, "Mrs. Xue, I have to admit that you are much smarter than I expected."

It was just as he expected! Xue Jinhua's face instantly became extremely ugly, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"City Lord Meng, since the City Lord already knows my identity, he should let me go as soon as possible."

"If otherwise...if Ling Yan finds out about this, I believe the city lord will not have a good ending." However, such verbal threats alone are obviously far from enough to achieve the goal.

Xue Jinhua frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke again: "Lord City Lord, if you are willing to show mercy and let me leave safely at this moment, considering that you did save my life, I will do my best to persuade Ling Yan not to make things difficult for you." She spoke sincerely, hoping that her words would impress the City Lord Meng in front of her.

However, what she did not expect was that even though she spoke so sincerely, Meng Jincheng just stared at her quietly, without any fluctuation on his face, as if he did not take her words to heart at all.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but be a little stunned, thinking to herself: Is he really so hard-hearted that he is not moved by such a condition? But she still did not give up, and continued to test: "Lord City Lord, are you really going to reject my proposal? As long as the City Lord is willing to let me go, everything can still be turned around!"

At this time, Meng Jincheng finally broke the silence and slowly said, "Madam Xue, if I knew your true identity beforehand and rashly brought you here, now that things have come to this, do you think I would let you go so easily?"

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's heart was shocked, and she suddenly realized.

It turns out that all this was not a coincidence, but a carefully planned conspiracy.

She widened her beautiful eyes, stared at Meng Jincheng with vigilance, and shouted angrily, "You...you didn't really save me, but deliberately abducted me here?"

At this moment, Xue Jinhua finally understood why Meng Jincheng had always ignored her requests. It turned out that he had never intended to let her go from the very beginning.

And she was so naive to think that she could buy freedom through negotiation. It was really stupid.

Seeing this, Meng Jincheng sighed inwardly.

In fact, he had originally hoped to maintain as much as possible the last bit of good image he had in Xue Jinhua's mind, so that she would not develop excessive resistance to him.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Now it seems that all the efforts were in vain.

"Mrs. Xue, I have to admit that you are indeed very intelligent, but unfortunately, it is too late for you to know the truth now." Meng Jincheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said coldly.

He actually admitted it! How is this possible? Could it be that what I suspected before was true? Was I really kidnapped by Meng Jincheng?

Xue Jinhua stared at the mask intently, his face instantly becoming extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.

At this moment, her last bit of goodwill and filter towards Meng Jincheng was completely shattered like a mirror and scattered all over the floor.

At this moment, her heart was filled with only burning anger and hatred.

Her eyes widened with anger, she gnashed her teeth and roared at Meng Jincheng: "Lord City Lord, I used to respect you, but I never thought that you would be such a despicable and shameless villain! Let me go back quickly, otherwise, the entire Nanjiang City will be stained with blood and turned into a sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses!"

In fact, Xue Jinhua knew very well in her heart that if Ling Yan knew that she was imprisoned here, he would definitely be the first person to settle accounts with Meng Jincheng and demand an explanation.

Given Ling Yan's character and strength, he will definitely not give up easily.

However, in the face of Xue Jinhua's threatening words, Meng Jincheng just smiled coldly and was not moved at all.

He slowly said, "Haha, you want to go back safely? Madam Xue, you are just daydreaming! I have spent so much effort to capture you. If I let you go so easily, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain? Don't be so wishful!"

"Besides, the Emperor of Jin has already arrived. I believe he must have noticed your whereabouts. Now that things have come to this, I have to make you leave here immediately no matter what."

When Xue Jinhua heard this, the blood instantly drained from her face, and her originally bright eyes were now filled with astonishment and panic. She secretly said in her heart that something was wrong, and in an instant she saw through Meng Jincheng's hidden thoughts.

She frowned, her lips trembling as she spoke, "Meng Jincheng, how dare you do this?"

However, facing Xue Jinhua, Meng Jincheng turned a blind eye. His face was as gloomy as water, and he ordered coldly: "Come here, take Madam Xue away quickly! There must be no mistakes!"

Before he could finish his words, several burly men rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and started to lift up Xue Jinhua and drag him out without saying a word.

Xue Jinhua was shocked and angry. She struggled desperately to break free from the restraints, but those men were so strong and powerful that her resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

Just as she opened her mouth to scream, she suddenly felt dizzy, the scene in front of her eyes became blurry, and then she was hit by a strong feeling of vertigo.

Finally, she could no longer hold on, her eyes closed, and she fainted.

And in the last moment before fainting, Xue Jinhua was filled with disbelief and resentment.

She could never have imagined that Meng Jincheng would be so despicable and shameless as to dare to secretly drug her.

Poor Xue Jinhua fell into a coma without any protection and was at the mercy of others.

At this moment, Runanji hurried over and reported solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from the palace, saying that the queen is in a courtyard west of Nanjiang City."

"I have just gone to investigate and found out that it is the residence of a lady rescued by Meng Jincheng."

Ling Yan's chest was heaving violently, his breathing became rapid, his emotions were clearly out of control, even his heart was in turmoil and it was difficult to calm down.

He clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "That must be Huahua! Meng Jincheng is so bold that he dared to bring Xue Jinhua back and secretly hide it from anyone. Humph, I will never let him off easily!"

Runanji, who was standing by, knew very well that the queen held a very important position in the emperor's mind. Seeing the emperor lose his composure like this, he could understand the emperor's mood at this moment.

However, Runanji was filled with more worries and doubts.

He frowned and spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, could this be a carefully designed trap? After all, this is Nanjiang City, the situation is complicated and changeable, and we don't know much about everything here."

After hearing this, Ling Yan's face instantly darkened. He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly raised his head, stared into the distance, and muttered to himself: "It is indeed difficult to judge whether this matter is true or not. But if what that person said is true..."

Thinking of this, Ling Yan's heart couldn't help but feel conflicted. On the one hand, he was eager to find Xue Jinhua, but on the other hand, he was worried that there was a huge conspiracy behind this.

At this moment, Ling Yan seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes lit up, and then he said: "But we have just arrived in Nanjiang City not long ago, and we are unfamiliar with the place. Even if we get lost here and accidentally take the wrong road, it is very likely to happen, right?" After saying that, Ling Yan fell silent again, as if he was weighing the pros and cons and thinking about countermeasures.

Runanji understood her thoughts instantly and couldn't help but smile, "Your Majesty is wise."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant hurriedly came to the door, bowed and saluted, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Miss Meng wants to see you!"

Ling Yan frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face. It was obvious that he was not very impressed by this Miss Meng who suddenly asked to see him.

Seeing this, Runanji, who was standing by, hurried forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, this woman is Meng Jinyao. Do you want me to go and send her away for you?"

However, to Runanji's surprise, the emperor actually shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No."

Runanji was startled and secretly surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Ling Yan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he replied nonchalantly: "I'm just using your trick against me."

At this time, Meng Jinyao, who was standing outside the palace waiting to be summoned, was feeling very nervous and uneasy.

Recalling her brief contact with the Emperor of Jin, she felt really unsure about his lukewarm attitude.

She really wasn't sure whether the emperor would be willing to meet her this time.

If she could not meet him, it might just mean that he liked her deep down, or at least did not hate her; but if she was rejected, did it mean that she was not really in love with her? At this moment, Meng Jinyao was in the beginning of love, with both the joy of expectation and the worries and concerns of gain and loss.

Not long after, Runanji walked out steadily and called softly, "Miss Meng."

Hearing the voice, Meng Jinyao hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously and carefully, "Your Majesty... Is Your Majesty willing to see me?" Her voice trembled slightly, as if her heart was hanging in the air and would fall at any time.

Runanji smiled and nodded in affirmation, "The emperor invites you, Miss Meng, please come this way."

Hearing this answer, Meng Jinyao felt overjoyed.

She confirmed again in disbelief, "Really?" Before she finished speaking, a smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face. Her joy was beyond words and no one could hide it.

Seeing this, Runanji nodded again and said gently, "Miss Meng, please come in quickly. I dare not lie to you about this matter."

After getting the definite answer, Meng Jinyao couldn't wait to walk into the house.

When she saw Ling Yan's handsome, angular face, a myriad of thoughts suddenly came to her mind, and all her emotions could no longer be suppressed and were all displayed on her face.

She suppressed her inner excitement, bowed gracefully, and said softly, "Your Highness."

Ling Yan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Compared with Meng Jinyao's fiery passion, he seemed exceptionally calm and composed, as if everything around him could not cause much waves in his heart.

He said softly, "Miss Meng, I am new to Nanjiang City and know very little about this place. Could you please take me around so that I can experience the local customs and practices?"

Meng Jinyao couldn't help but feel happy when she heard Ling Yan's words.

In fact, from the moment she saw Ling Yan, she had been secretly thinking about how to find a suitable excuse to say a few more words to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity would come to her now! She was so happy at the moment that she had no time to think about whether the emperor had any other intentions in doing this? She was completely overwhelmed by love and nodded without hesitation: "Okay! Your Majesty, let me tell you, although our Nanjiang City is not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, there are many beautiful sights in the city! Especially in the west of the city, there is a large and colorful sea of ​​flowers, which is beautiful! How about I take Your Majesty there to have a look now?"
