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

You know, Nanjiang City is preparing to hold a grand and solemn banquet for Ling Yan's arrival.

This is undoubtedly a major event that makes the people of the whole city rejoice and celebrate.

Even Meng Jinyao, who was originally imprisoned, was temporarily freed because of the preparations for the banquet.

However, Meng Jincheng sent someone to tell her: "Miss, the city lord has told you not to act recklessly again."

But how could Meng Jinyao, who was now free, listen to him?

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous and nonchalant smile, and she said in a delicate voice: "How dare a little girl like you talk too much about my affairs?"

The maid standing by turned pale instantly, and knelt down hurriedly, saying in panic: "Miss, please calm down. I know I was wrong! I just... just care about you, and I have no intention of disrespecting you at all."

If it were in the past, with Meng Jinyao's hot temper, she would definitely not let this ignorant slave go easily.

However, at this moment, although she was angry, she could not act rashly.

She just snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Forget it, you are lucky to have arrived at this critical moment. I don't want to lose the big picture for the small and cause trouble, so I will forgive you this time. However, if you do it again next time, you will be in big trouble!"

The maid kowtowed repeatedly as if she had been pardoned, and promised: "Thank you very much, young lady, for your kindness. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and will never dare to offend you in the slightest."

Seeing the maid's fearful look, Meng Jinyao's anger subsided a little.

She raised her eyes slightly, as if she had thought of something important, and asked, "By the way, has there been any news from the Emperor of Jin in the past few days?"

The maid shook her head tremblingly and answered carefully: "My lady, I have never heard any news about the emperor of Jin."

Meng Jinyao frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, and asked, "He came here this time. Didn't my eldest brother prepare some special gifts to show his friendship?"

The maid looked puzzled and asked, blinking her eyes: "Miss, what do you mean by that? I am really stupid and don't quite understand."

Meng Jinyao frowned slightly and explained, "What I meant is that the Emperor of Jin has been here for some time, but he did not bring any concubines with him. Until now, such a long time has passed, hasn't my eldest brother sent some women to serve him?"

After hearing this, the maid suddenly realized what was going on. However, her face became tense and she replied with a trembling voice: "This... This matter, I really don't know!"

How could a little maid like her know the inside story of such a private matter?

But Meng Jinyao obviously didn't believe her words. She stared at the maid and asked, "Are you really not clear about this?"

The maid was stared at and felt her hair stand on end. She waved her hands and shook her head, saying anxiously, "I...I really don't know anything about this. You know that the city lord is always arbitrary and has never mentioned these things to anyone else. How could I know?"

Looking at the frightened look of the girl in front of her, Meng Jinyao already understood in her heart that even if she continued to ask, it would probably be futile.

After all, based on her understanding of this maid, if she really knew about this, she would definitely not deny it so much.

However, Meng Jinyao came here for the Emperor of Jin, so she naturally couldn't give up easily.

After a little thought, in just a moment, an idea emerged in Meng Jinyao's mind.

She frowned slightly, then turned her body gently, leaned close to the ear of the maid beside her, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

She opened her red lips and said calmly, "You do as I say, understand?"

However, when the maid heard these words, a look of astonishment instantly appeared on her face, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

She opened her eyes wide, opened her lips slightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Young Miss, do you need to reconsider your decision?" Obviously, the maid was very surprised and worried about what the young lady had ordered.

"If the city lord knew about this, he would definitely not forgive Miss Yu easily!"

The maid continued to advise cautiously, and at the same time thought to herself that after all, her young lady was just an unmarried girl, and acting like this would probably cause great damage to her reputation.

But who would have thought that in the face of the maid's advice, Meng Jinyao not only did not show any sign of wavering, but her expression turned cold and she responded sternly: "No need to say more, you just need to do as I ask, understand?" As she spoke, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing that the maid seemed to still be refusing, Meng Jinyao's face became even gloomier, and she threatened coldly: "If you dare not obey my orders, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will definitely pull out your tongue and throw you into the group of beggars to be bullied!"

These words were like a thunderbolt, striking the maid's heart. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Miss, Miss, please have mercy on me and spare me. I dare not..."

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao's expression softened slightly, but she still shouted sternly: "If you don't want to die, then do as I say and don't make any mistakes!"

The maid knew that she had no choice, because she knew Meng Jinyao's stubborn and obstinate character too well. If she hesitated any further, the consequences might not be something she, a servant, could bear.

So, even though she was feeling uneasy, she didn't dare to delay for even a second.

When night fell and the lights came on, Ling Yan was sitting at the table in deep thought after dinner.

Runanji, who was standing by, looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside the window and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a walk?"

However, the events that happened last time still appeared in front of Ling Yan's eyes like clear scenes.

Especially when he learned that Xue Jinhua was not in Nanjiang City, he felt lost and frustrated, and he had no interest in going out for a stroll.

So, he shook his head and replied calmly: "No need, I don't want to go out tonight. Is there any new news from over there?"

Runanji hurriedly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, during the day, someone saw a doctor walking out of Nanjiang City."

He does not mean that.

When Ling Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly became bright, revealing excitement and anticipation that were difficult to conceal.

He asked anxiously: "In this case, does it mean that there is news about the queen?"

Runanji nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Ling Yan's guess, but then he said cautiously: "However, I am still sending people to investigate this matter in depth. After all, if it is really the Queen, we must not act rashly or impulsively, and we must not take it lightly!"

Ling Yan, who was originally very excited after hearing a little clue, felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head after hearing Runanji's words. His enthusiasm was instantly cooled down.

His face darkened and he said tensely, "Yes, this is Nanjiang City. We must be cautious in any action and must not act hastily, so as not to alert the enemy."

Just as the two were concentrating on discussing important matters, suddenly, a man ran over in a hurry, panting and saying, "Your Majesty, the city lord has specially sent you a generous gift!"

Hearing that there was a gift coming, Ling Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, secretly wondering what kind of gift it would be.

Runanji, who was standing by, seemed very interested and urged, "In that case, why don't you bring the gift over for us to see?"

However, the man looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without being able to explain clearly.

Finally, he stammered, "Your Majesty, this gift is a little special...it is said that it has been sent directly to your bedroom."

Hearing this, Ling Yan and Run Nanji were both stunned.

What on earth could be sent directly into the palace? Ling Yan was not a fool. After a little thought, he immediately understood what this so-called "gift" was.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly became gloomy, like the sky before a storm.

Before Runanji could react, Ling Yan had already turned around and walked hurriedly towards his bedroom.

Along the way, his mood became increasingly heavy, and various possible scenarios kept appearing in his mind.

Finally, when he arrived at the door of the bedroom, a soft and delicate voice came into his ears.

Following the sound, I saw Meng Jinyao lying delicately on the bed, tightly wrapped in a quilt, like a budding, shy and delicate flower.

Seeing Ling Yan coming in, a bright blush like the sunset quickly appeared on her snow-white cheeks, adding a bit of charming charm.

If it were any other man, seeing such an erotic and moving scene, he would probably have been distracted and unable to control himself.

But the person in front of him was Ling Yan after all. Having been in the palace for many years, he had become immune to female beauty. At this moment, there was no ripple in his heart, and he even felt a hint of anger.

So, he walked towards the bed without hesitation.

At this moment, Meng Jinyao had not noticed anything unusual, but her watery eyes flickered slightly, and she said with her red lips: "Your Majesty, you are here."

The voice was as melodious as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, carrying a hint of subtle tension and anticipation.

Ling Yan stood there, staring down at her, his handsome yet cold face expressionless.

However, surprisingly, although he had deep dissatisfaction with City Lord Meng in his heart, he was not angry at this moment. Instead, he was endlessly indifferent, as if the person in front of him was just an insignificant stranger.

He said coldly: "City Lord Meng is really generous! He is willing to send even his own sister to us. Such behavior is really impressive." His words were full of sarcasm.

Meng Jinyao was naturally aware that there were irreconcilable conflicts and grievances between him and his eldest brother.

After hearing his words, my heart tightened, mistakenly thinking that he thought I was sent here as a gift by my eldest brother to please him.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Meng Jinyao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood."

"I was not sent here by elder brother, but... I came here on my own." After saying that, her beautiful eyes stared at Ling Yan, her eyes full of sincerity and eagerness.

Meng Jinyao thought that this would be able to dispel Ling Yan's doubts, but after hearing this, Ling Yan was stunned, as if he had never expected her to give such an answer.

For a moment, the whole room fell into an eerie silence, with only the breathing of the two people being clearly audible.

After a long while, there was still no response from Ling Yan.

In the end, it was Meng Jinyao who couldn't control her temper anymore. She bit her lips lightly and then stood up from the bed decisively.

Her face was tense, with a hint of shyness, but also a bit of determination.

If I miss this precious opportunity, I am afraid there will never be such a rare opportunity again.

Thinking of this, her eyes became misty, and the reserve in her heart was overwhelmed by the strong desire.

She stood up resolutely, her body trembling slightly, and walked towards the man who had been haunting her dreams - Ling Yan, with a staggering but unwavering step.

Finally coming closer, she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have admired you for a long time. Let me serve you tonight." When she said this, Meng Jinyao felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Because in order to be able to interact with her beloved tonight, she really put her everything on the line.

As a lady of a noble family, she has always possessed an enviable noble status and innate pride, but at this moment these things are no longer important to her.

She could even abandon all the things that she once treasured, such as reputation, status, etc.

At this moment, there was only Ling Yan in her eyes, and all she wanted was to gain his favor and mercy.
