Chapter 23: Elopement

Time passed day by day, and Mu Aonan and Xia Yimeng were silently preparing.

Finally waited for this day, before dinner, Xia Yimeng sneaked into the kitchen, and put the drug into the soup while the people were not paying attention, all of them came according to the original plan, she repeatedly reminded herself that she couldn't have any mistakes, she couldn't afford to be wrong, this was a gamble between her and herself, if she could succeed, she would wander the world with Mu Aonan, and if she failed, she would willingly marry Mu Linghan and be a princess obediently.

"Xiaomeng, why don't you drink soup."

Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Yimeng was eating vegetables with her head down from beginning to end, afraid that she would choke, so she intimately served her a bowl of soup.

Xia Yimeng took it helplessly, fortunately, Mu Aonan was afraid that she accidentally drank the drug and gave her the antidote in advance, she drank two sips casually, the dinner table has been very quiet recently, and when Xia Yimeng was in a good mood in the past, the dinner table was always indispensable for her and Xia An's laughter.

After eating, Xiao Zhen helped her back to the room to rest, Mrs. Xia looked at her departing back and sighed silently, this child has been very cheerful since he was a child, and he will forget about it when he encounters something unhappy overnight, he never thought that one day she would be so depressed, which makes parents how can they not feel distressed.

"Miss, don't be sad, in fact, King Cheng is also very good, he is the dream of thousands of girls in the capital, he is handsome and has a good personality, he is still the younger brother of the emperor's mother, and his status is not much lower than that of the prince, you are more free to marry into the palace than if you marry into the palace, if you want to go out of the palace, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come out once in a few years."

Xiao Zhen is working hard to enlighten Xia Yimeng every day, hoping that she can see it as soon as possible and no longer be so depressed.

"Yes, marrying him is not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't like him, I have met him once since I was a child, and the words I have said add up to only ten sentences, how can such a person replace Brother Nan's position in my heart."

Xia Yimeng lowered his head and whispered, his voice was so small that it seemed to be talking to himself.

"Miss, you are like this because you are not familiar with King Cheng, don't worry, you will be together every day after you get married, and you will be familiar with it after a long time, and the prince will definitely treat you well."

Xiao Zhen gently stroked Xia Yimeng's back.

"Xiao Zhen, if I'm gone, you must take good care of my father and mother for me."

Xia Yimeng hugged Xiao Zhen's waist, buried her face in her arms, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

As soon as she thought that she was going to leave this home, she didn't know when she would be able to come back, and her father and mother had to bear the mistakes she had made at such an old age, and she felt extremely self-reproachful in her heart, and she admitted that she was too selfish this time.

"Miss, where are you talking about, I am your personal maid, even if you marry to the palace, I will definitely marry, the old lady has so many people to serve, naturally there will be no problem, don't worry about it, the most important thing now is to adjust your mentality, eat and sleep well, and be a beautiful bride."

Xiao Zhen, who didn't know anything, thought that she was worried that the old lady would have no one to take care of her after she got married.

Xia Yimeng didn't speak again, and went to bed after crying for a while, because it was almost fifteen, so the moon was exceptionally round, and the moonlight spilled into the house through the window.

The silence of the room is so desolate that people feel desolate from the heart, Xia Yimeng got up from the bed, Xiao Zhen slept on the small bed very soundly, because Xia Yimeng also drugged the dishes of the next person when he went to the kitchen to give medicine.
